FOR CONG ESS, PAGE MORRIS
The congressional convention called
to meet in Anoka on June 1st, will, of
course nominate Hon. Page Morris to
succeed himself as member of congress S
from this district. There is every
reason why it should. He is a hard
working, efficient and devoted repre-
sentative. He has firmly entrenched
himself in the good will of his COL
leagues. He has devoted a vast
amount of time in behalf of his old
soldier constituents, and no appeal
made to him to assist business through
the pension department has been ne
elected. He has given his time freely
to all demands or requests.
He has succeeded in doing what has
been fought for during the past ten
years--the opening of the Mile Laos
Indian reservation to settlers, q tract
covering more than a million acres.
MIR. Morris got joint resolution
through the house, and Senator Mel
son immediatelytook it up in the SEN
ate, and had it passed.
In all the great measures involving
legislature OF national character,
our representative has ever been iden-
titled with his party.
Page Morris is able, patriotic, in
dustrious, clear-headed, and honest
qualifications which appeal with IRE,
sistible force to the right-minded
He will be renominated by acclama

The Horse and the Market.

There was a time when the question
of marketing horses was comparatively
a small one. That was when there
was a good demand for all kinds of
horses. Even the horse that had lit
tie style and no fine breeding about
him could be sold for street car work.
But today the market is largely closed
for horses of this type, and, if they be
sold at all, it must be at rate far be-
low the cost of production. The mar
ket in its generality has changed great
ly since twelve years ago. 1t was then
8 question Of comparative prices. 1t
Is now a question of price and no
price. It is easier to dispose of inferior
horses by letting them finish their lives
in farm work than it is to go to the
expense of fitting them for market to
be sold at loss. Good horses can be
marketed to the satisfaction of the man
that has raised them. Before attempt
ing to market horse it is better to find
out what kind Of horse you have.
Some people have a very erroneous
opinion of the value of their own ami
mails, as much so as they have of the
abilities and character of their own
children. Study up the points of a
horse and fit yourself to tell exactly
whether you have horse the market
wants or horse the markets will not
take except at price ruinous to your
SELF This will prevent much unneces-
sary heartache when the returns for the
animal are received.
Breaking horses is not properly a
part of marketing horses, yet we know
that If a horse be not properly broken
he is in no condition to market. We
are told by Chicago horse dealers tAat
great many good horses come onto
the Chicago market and are sold low
because they are green" that is. not
properly broken. Some smart fellows
go to the trouble of buying such horses
and breaking them properly, after
which they dispose of them at a good
price. This work should be done at
home and the profit thus saved to the
original producer. Horses should he
broken to drive single or double. and
In many cases should be broken to the
saddle. They should be taught to face
without fiinching railway trains and
he multitudinous sights of the cities

Feeding Kaar Corn.

The Oklahoma experiment station 10
trying series of feeding experiments,
largely to determine value of Kafir
corn. Some interesting results have
been obtained. All the trials confirm
the belief that Kafir corn in any form
is healthful and palatable food for
any class Of farm animals. The Kafir
stalks and leaves have been eaten as
readily as have corn stalks. Horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs all eat Kaar
grain, ground or unground, readily,
and no indications of any unsatisfac-
tory effect on health have been seen.
There is large waste when the grain
is fed unground to horses or cattle;
apparently much less when fed to
sheep. In series of digestion expert
ments with steers it has been found
that about one-half the seed passes
through the animal undigested.
large part of this is made use Of II
hogs follow the cattle. Contrary to
general opinion the per cent of undi-
gested grain was practically the same
when 1t was fed in the head" or
threshed. With two lots of steers as
nearly alike as it was practicable to
secure them, the lot fed Kafir meal
made larger gains than those fed corn
meal, even when the feed was changed
from one lot to the other. The largest
gain made by any lot for any period
was by one fed one-half Kafir meal,
one-half corn meal. From some UNI
known lot 60 fod r,oa 6a
no gains, so that the average gain in
all the trials with this mixture is some
what less than the average where Kafir
meal was fed alone, but slightly larger
than the average gain where corn meal
was the only grain food. The best
average gain by different lots was
where they were fed Kafir meal with
moderate allowance of cotton seed
about four pounds per animal per day.
One lot the chief grain feed of which
was Kafir heads made average gain
OF LBS per day. The companion lot,
fed Kafir meal, made average gain of
2.S6 pounds. The steers ate slightly
less weight of heads than the others
did of the meal.
During the first four weeks OF feed
ing-not counting preparatory period,
lot full fed broken ears of corn made
average gain of 3.27 pounds per day.
The companion lot given same food
but slightly less than they desired.
made average gain of 1.66 pound. Each
lot had all they would eat of trough
feed" Where cotton seed was the only
grain feed the average gain per day by
young steers was only one pound. A
lot of lambs have kept in good health
with only Kafir heads as grain feed,
but have not made great gain in
weight. In no case have hogs done
quite SO well when fed on Kafir as
when fed Indian corn. These trials
have not been extended enough to
justify drawing positive conclusions,
except that it may be counted settled
that Kaf1r corn is very valuable grain
crop for Oklahoma, and, probably, the
most valuable one for large part of
the territory.

Earthworms and Gapes.


The question of gapes has long been
live one among poultrymen. Many
have lost chicks without suspecting the
real cause of the trouble Various rem
edies have been given, but few, if any,
of them proved effective One plan has
been to remove the worms from the
trachea by means of feathers or Of long
steel instruments constructed for that
purpose. But these have generally had
little effect, first, because it is almost
impossible to remove all of the worms,
and, second, because If they are all re-
moved the chicks soon become infested
anew. H. Garman, entomologist and
botanist of the Kentucky experiment
station, has been making some inves-
LEGATIONS along this line to ascertain
the injecting causes and to determine
the remedies. He selected two docks
of chicks, one of seven and another of
twelve chicks One of the flocks, the
largest, was kept on an earth floor and
fed earth worms. The other flock was
kept on plank floor and fed no earth
worms. The first flock soon showed
signs of being infested with gapes, and,
as they died, one after the other was
opened and their tracheas found to
contain large numbers of cape worms
OF the seven that were on plank floors
none was affected.
He came to the conclusion that the
earth worms in sor,n vay affected the
case, and this .:S.ssE -a'~clusion ar.
