Tornado In Tennessee.

Tuesday night, Nov. 20, central
and western Tennessee was visited
by very destructive tornado. Much
damage was done to property and
many lives were lost.
Near Colombia the loss of life was
thirty-ive or forty, mostly negroes.
There were other casualties in other
localities and it is supposed there
were at least fifty persons killed and
many more hunt. The wires are
down in every direction and no def

American Shipping Interests.

Congress, the coming session, will
be called on to consider the shipping
interests of this country. This is. a
question that should have had care
full thought and attention before this.
1t is a matter that should be TAX
en- up by the intelligent progressive
spirits of both parties and taken out
of political contentious.
When we realize how every other
industry has grown and developed
in this country to such marvellous
extent, until we have become the
foremost country of the world in
manufacturing and commercial in
terests. it seems strange that our
shipping interests have been so neg
lected. 1t is shown by the recent
report of our commissioner of navi-
CATION that the tonnage of American
vessels is only about one-third that
of England, ourfftes of which is
engaged in the coast trade.
In other words, we have only about
fifteenth of the carrying capac-
ity in American ships engaged in
foreign commerce that England has.
OF our vast foreign trade, last year.
both export and import, American
ships carried only about 9 per cent.
The other oI per cent was carried
by foreign vessels. A hundred years
ago the shipping intererts of the
United States engaged in foreign
commerce was nearly as large as
now.
This seems to be the only inter
est in the United States that has not
developed and kept pace with other
interests in this country. When we
consider the vast amount of wealth
invested in ship building and ship
ping interests generally, the world
over, and the armies of men that
find employment therein and further
realize that we are so much behind
! other nations in the development of
this industy, it seems strange that
the matter is not taken up by con-
gress in an earnest determined man
'ner and something done at once to
give us one full share of this vast
industry.
There is cause for our deficiency
in this line which our legislators
should be able to discover and ap-
ply the remedy. If it is true, as as
serted by many of our most intelli-
gent statesmen, that at the time of
our supremacy in our own carrying
trade that our shipping interests re-
ceived large subsidies and that the
cause of the decline in that industry
was the cutting off of our subsidies
and the subsiding of foreign vessels
by their governments, then let US
have ship subsidy bill that will en-
courage our capitalists to invest
their millions in American ships
and American commerce and pay
wages 70 American ship builders and
American seamen and keep at home

grain placed upon the hay and the two
carefully mixed. Salt and water were
kept before the steers all the time.
The average weight of the eighty
head at the beginning of the expert
ment was 1,036 pounds per steer. The
steers were fed 1l6 days and were then
ready for market, averaging 1907
pounds each'or an average daily gain
of 81 pounds per steer.
The steers required an average of
TAT pounds of grain and 1856 pounds of
hay for each 100 pound gain. This is
much below the average amount Of
feed required to make 100 pounds gain.
The steers ate an average each of
10 pounds of grain day. This is a
low amount of feed for the gain made.
The gains for the whole feeding
period are as follows:
Gain per steer,

Shelled corn, whole hay Observation-Disclosures, 1852

Corn-meal, whole hay y...................... .2I3
Corn-meal, cut hay. y................... .2S3
Average gain of steers fed shelled
corn, 260 pounds each. Average gain
of steers fed corn meal, 2S3 pounds
each. This shows gain offs s per cent
from grinding. The steers fed she'll
ed corn required an average of 7S0
pounds of grain to make 100 pounds Of
gain while those fed on corn-meal re.
quired an average of 7lS pounds of
grain for 100 pounds Of gain.
But little was sa we'd in cutting the
hay, the average gain of the steers fed
whole hay being 2S6 pounds each and
those fed hay cut 275 pounds each, a
gain of 2,6 per cent from cutting.
There is shortage of both grain and
roughagein Kansas this year and every
feeder should get the most possible
out of his feed, One experiment does
not settle any question in feeding but
may indicate what is probable. The
results obtained IN this experiment
seem to indicate that feeders can get
considerably more gains from then
feed by mixing the grain and hay, as
considerably less than the usual
amount of grain was required in this
feeding to make 100 pounds of gain
Where the grain is fed alone
much Of it is not brought back to the
mouth again while if the grain is mix
ed with hay all of it gets the benefit
of thorough mastica tion in the cud
There is less difficulty from securing
where grain and hay are fed together
The steers were sent to Armour
Packing Company, Kansas City, fol
slaughter test and their report is as
follows:
The cattle dressed out 50 per cent
of live weight, the yield of fat 81 per
cent. The carcasses cut bright were
of good color on outside and made
good, clean, bright looking, well
covered beef. Our buyers consider
that ground corn and alfalfa is the
best feed for CATTLE"
The eighty head made an average
gain of 7.5 pounds for each bushel oi
food eaten and ate % pounds of hay
with each bushel of grain.
The gain from the differert methods
of feeding was as follows:

FIXING THE TIME OF OPENING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening Kiowa
Reservation.

We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and Comanche reser-
yation open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved by the Presi-
dent June 6, 1900. That law
says:
That sll allotments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior 10
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this Act, SUBJ
ject to the exceptions contained
in article fuor of said treaty; pro-
vided, That the time for making
allotments shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked us: Will townsites be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer to this we
again quote the law.
| 'iWhen said allotments OF lsud
shall have been selected and TAX
en- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary Of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held In
trust for the sllottees, respective.
ly. for the period Of twenty-five
years, in the time and manner and
to the extent provided for in the
act of congress entitled Gan act
to provide for allotment of land
In severalty to Indians on the var
ious reservations, and to extend
the protection of the laws of the
United States and Territories
over the Indians and for other
purposes" approved February
2S. 1891.
"And at the expiratiOns of said
period of 25 years the titles there
to shall be conveyed in fee simple
to the allotees or the heir, free
from all incuberances.

THE RESERVATIONS.

The Indian reservation is located be-
tween the waslftas river on the north and
Red river on the south and between tie
gsih meridian Of west longitude on the east
and north Fork or BED river on the west,
and contains in round numbers, 100000
acres. From thisMill be deducted about
one million acres taken up by the noun
tains, and alike amount to be allotted to
the Indiaus, leaving about two million acres
70 be thrown open to white settlers. The
lands occupied by the mountains is only
available for grazing purposes and rich In
gold, silver, tin and coal. These are still to
be developed.

WELL wATERED.

The LANDS outside Of the mountains are
undulatyng prairie, well watered with iiy-
ing streams OF water Is found by digging at
depths. Of twenty to thirty feet. all the
streams bear more or less fringe OF tim
Der, while large areas are covered with q
growth OF mesquite trees, timber which
make good fence posts and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and some streams bear
a growth OF timber large enough TO saw into
lumber. Any or all Of these timber lands
are productive, aud will make iiae farms.
Byan act Of congress approved June 3,
1900, the above reservation Is TO be opened
10 settlement. On the north side OF this
reservation Is another known IS the Wiehifs
reservation, whiclftnay be included At the
sane time, but tins is not yet known. The
law opening the reservation. provides that
the allotments shall be made In from three
to six months, and makes 1t lhe duty OF the
President to issue proclamation opening
the country within SIX months after The al
lotments are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six moaths, and
and he may issue his proclamation immedi-
eteiy after the allotments are made. Thus
1t may be seen the lands may be open at any
time from the early spring to summer oi
next year

There need be no doubt OF the product
iveness of these lands. They have been
tried In every quar,er with result that has
produced 20 to 30 bushels Of wheat and 40
to 80 bushels Of corn per acre. These cropa

more or less cultivated every year, and al
ways give good returns. Tee uplands are
