Why the Result.

The following is the view of VIM.
J. Bryan on the result of the last cleo
ton:
1T was not a trial upon the issues now
before the people, but a successful plea for
a continuance OF the case. TIE people have
not accepted the gold standard; they have
not fallen in love with the plan 10 give the
banksa monopoly of the issue of paper
money; they have not decided 10 retire the
greenbacks; they have not surrendered to
the usts.
"Ihese questions were forced into the
background by the declaration of war. but
they must be faced again as soon as peace
is restored. Tue Chicago platfOl m pre-
'sents for public COP sideration certain vital,
economic questions. That platform has
not been abandoned by those who indorsed
it in 1898. 1t will be reaffirmed in 800 be-
cause it gives exI ression to the hopes and
aspilatiO of large majority of the party
"When the Democrats. Populists and
silver Republicans favored Cuban moe
pendenee they understood that war wOulo
give temporary advantage to the party III
power, but they were willing to risk defeat

Neither caI the election be regarded as
an Endorsement of any foreign policy
Until treaty of peace has been entered
into and the terms made known, the people
cannot pass Judgment ul'On it. Whether

the Fowler Machine Shops are larger
and more complete than any in the
west, and will compare favorably with
those In the eastern universities The
mechanical work is done under the
supervision of trained machinists, and
the steam and electrical work under
the instructors in the department Of
Electrical Engineering. A practical
trend is aimed to be given to all
work.
The building itself is the gift of
George A. Fowler, president of the
Fowler Packing Co Kansas City, Mo.
He is an intimate friend of Professor
Lucisn I. Blake, head of the depart
ment of Physics and Electrical Engi-
neeriug, and recognizes the value of
technical instruction. Mr.. Fowler al
so realizes that state universities are
the proper institutions of instruction
of this kind, 70. institutions of private
endowment too often lack the neces-
sary fund for the work.
The shops are two stories high
with an attic. They are made OF
native limestone hewn out of Mount
Dread, rough rubble finish and deep
pointed. The roof is covered with
red Luodovic tile, first introduced in
this country at the worlds fair. The
building is 222 feet long, and with an
average width of 55 feet, and with a
high tower. Fully 70 per cent Of
the walls are windows. The entire
lighting will be by l'ew method OF
incandescent and arc lights. Its
purpose considered the new building
is one of the most pleasing to the
eye of the group on Mount Dread
and is no mean addition, to the Uni
versity campus.

Kansas Experiment Station, Manhattan. kas.
Many feeders have asked US to ex-
plain what q balanced ration is.
There are three important groups of
substances in feeds-protein, carbo-
hydrates, and fat. Protein includes
all materials in feeds which contain
nitrogen. 1t enters into the com
position of milk, blood,
muscle, hair, and the brain and
nerves, and is necessary in the form
alton of these, and no other sub
stance can take its place. Protein
is also used in the body in producing
heat, energy and fat. Carbohydrates
include the fiber Of feeds, the sugars,
starch and gums, and furnish heat,
energy, and fat to the body. The
fats in the food produce heat, energy,
and fat in the body. Carbohydrates
and fats can take each others places,
one pound of fat being worth %
pounds of carbohydrates for produc-
tion Of heat in the body.
Extended Investigations have shown
that, to obtain the best results, feed
should be given which will furnish
these materials in the following pro-
portions: Dairy COW, protein q
pounds, carbohydrates 121 pounds
and fat ! pound; fattsning steer, pre-
ten p to 3 pounds, carbohydrates Is
pounds, and fat J to pound grow
irg cattle, protein pounds, carbo-
hydrates 1871 pounds, and fat 2 pounds,
for young animal, gradually de-
crsasing the proportion of protein
until at the age of 2 years the pro
portions are similar to those for the
fattening steer but less in quantity.
A pig to months old needs feeds
| containing II pounds of protein to
each 80 pounds of carbohydrates and
fat; while q year old pig needs a
pounds of protein to each 4S pounds
of carbohydrates and fat Feeds
tanning q greater proportion Of pro
tein than called for by these stand
ards can be ell, because protein can
take the place OF the materials.
| Carbohydrates and fat cannot take
the place of protein, however, and nc
matter in how large quantities they
may be fed, if protein is lacking the
growth Or gain will be reduced.
The weak point in Kansas feeding
is that the average ratiops are great
ly deficient in protein and have toe
much carbohydrates and fat. Every
feeder knows that good pasture pro.
duces rapid growth, good gains and
abundant milk yields. 1t furnishes
nutriment in the proportion of {
pounds of protein, IL pounds of car
bohydrates, and pound of fat. The
proportions in some OF our feeds, ir
pounds per hundred pounds of fse6
are as follows:

DIFFERENCES IN COWS AND COW OWNERS

DIFFERENCES IN COWS AND COW OWNERS
During the summer of 1898 tho
Agricultural College Dairy made an
investigation Of the patrons Of the
Meriden Creamery to ascertain the
income they were realizing per COW
for milk sold to the creamery. The
poorest herd averaged per COW, $7.54
annually, and the best one $42.09,
making difference of $34 SO per cow.
Taking the poorest five herds the
average per cow is S9.44 and for the
best five 1874, difference Of $24 30
or 257 per cent. Where records have
been kept it has been found that it
takes from $1,000 to 5000 t, pay for
keeping COW. 1t will thus be seen
that as far as milk is concerned the
cows from the poorest herds are run
ming their owners in debt, the only
redeeming feature being the value of
the calf produced. These figures
illustrate very clearly the need and
likewise the possibility of materially
increasing the income from the dairy
cow. ID. H. 0.

1t will be seen that none OF these
feeds contains a sufficient proportion
of protein to secure best results, and
all combinations OF these feeds will
have the sam, defect.
Some feeds have too great proper

-hown below, the figures indicating

Making balanced ration is COM
bining the feeds deficient in protein
with those having an excess Of it, to
make a ration which will contain the
right proportions for the animal fed.
A balanced ration will produce
much better results than the ordinary
alton, which is too high in carbo-
hydrates. A cow gave pounds but
ter per week on an ordinary ration,
and IL to IA pounds on a balanced
ration. Two pounds per day is a
good gain for steers on the usual fat
tening ration. By increasing the
protein by substituting pounds OF
linseed meal for an equal amount of
corn in the regular ration, feeder
m ade 3 to pounds gain per steer per
day. Fattening pigs made gain Of
81 pounds per bushel of Kaffir corn
eaten. When one-fifth of the Kaffir
| corn was taken out and soy bean
meal substituted for it, increasing
the protein. gain of ID pounds was
made for each bushel of grain eaten.
| Alfalfa is the cheapest source of
protein for the Kansas farmer, and
with q sufficient supply of alfalfa he
can use the other feeds usually raised.
and secure proper rations for growing
and fattening cattle, dairy cows, pigs.
and fattening hogs. Without alfalfa
the farmer to secure the best results
must purchase some OF the expensive
feeds rich in protein. In this case

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.

Many farmers in the state succeed
but poorly in keeping sweet potatoes
during the winter months. The Hor-
ticultural Department has in progress
an experiment to determine the most
suitable temperature for keeping this
product dur:n, the winter. Trial
lots are stor, in locations ranging
in temperature from As to Is degrees.
The temperatures are noted daily and
frequent examinations made TO note
the soundness Of the potatoes
Along with the temperature test, the
attempt will be made to determine
whether storage medium, such as
sard, chan or charcoal has any in
huence in preserving the soundness
Of the potato.
