Experiments in Cotton Seed
Meal For Feeding.

In This Manner.
is MIXED WITH BRAN.
Steers Do Not Relish the New
0Stuff' at First.
Scenes Around the Pens Where
Stock Is Located.

Hutchinson, Kas., Nov. 2.-The ex-
pertinent in full feeding cattle on cot
tonseed meal has been started at the
Hutchinson stock yards. There are now
1870 steers at the stock yards. They
are western cattle of good grade and
We're pastured at Belvidere, but while
they are range cattle they know some
thing about feed yards, having been
fed in Kansas through two winters.
Several days ago the cattle began
arriving by train from the west, and
before this shipments of the meal be-
gan arriving from the south. Now
there are over 1900 head of cattle in
the stock yards and there are great
stores of meal in sheds at the yards
and at the packing house. Today
there were about 40 carloads of cotton
seed meal on the track near the yards.
Some of the cattle take to the cotton
seed readily and some refuse it at first.
The method used in teaching them to
eat 1T is to start in with bran. Any
steer will eat bran. After a feed or
two of bran some cotton seed meal is
stronger then until it is all cotton seed
In serving the meal the feed troughs
are first filled half full of cotton seed
hulls. These hulls have bits of cotton
sticking to their outer side, and a
handful of them look like it might
have been picked from one of Hutch
inson's feminine cottonwood trees.
Over the fuzzy stuff which looks like
anything but feed the meal is poured
and then it is all mixed together. The
cattle cannot eat the meal without
swallowing a goodly amount of the
cotton and hulls. 1t looks like queer
way to take it, but the instructions say
to take it that way. The cattle are
separated into pens holding about 100
each. A few steers in each pen will
refuse to eat, and these are taken to a
special pen, where little bran is mixed
with the meal The most stubborn of
them after the meal gets worked into
their system will lose their self-reSpect
and quickly consume the feed.
The meal itself doesn't look much
more like feed than the cotton hulls do.
The meal looks something like sulphur,
only it is coarser grained. It looks like
it might make pretty decent paint if it
had a little oil mixed with it. There's
lots of fat in it, however.

THE WINFIELD MURDER.
Attempt Being Made to Prove W. G
Johnson Responsible.

Winfield, Kas., Nov. 2.-The Mont
gomery murder case will be continued
today. Friday afternoon w. C. john
son, the defendant, took a large. part of
the time. after being on the stand near
ly all morning. He testified that he
was not at the Montgomery house the
night of the murder, and was not wear
ing the shoes introduced in evidence
These shoes were secured at Johnson's
house. A track in the road the night
of the murder was taken up and the
mud allowed to harden. This is to
prove that Johnson was near the Mont
gomery house.
He said Miller did not hire him to
kill Montgomery.
Johnson was born in Ireland in 1876,
and came with his parents to Winfield
At one time he lived in Udall with his
father, who kept a livery stable He
married at Bartlettsville, I. T., where he
now has a wife and child, but he and
his wife are separated He was arrest
ed once in the Cherokee nation for sell
ing whisky, but was acquitted.
Several witnesses testified to seeing
the shoe fitted into the track. Both the
shoe and the track were introduced in
court. The shoe belongs to Johnson
Several witnesses from Bliss, Okla, and
the Miller ranch were introduced by
the defense. They testified that John
son made his appearance at the ranch
about noon Sunday, which was the day
following the murder. Mrs. Mollie Mil
Ter, wife of George w. Miller, took the
SIdnQ TO TESTIFY. she SdlQ JOHNSON Came
to her house, where she and her daugh-
ter were. the Friday night preceding the
murder. In response to a request from
him she tried to telephone to the ranch
to find out when the Nfillers wanted him
to go down. She did not hear of the
murder until Sunday evening. Miss
Alma Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George w. Miller, testified to the same
thing.
George Miller, owner of 101 ranch,
was called to the stand and stated that
on the Sunday after the murder he was
at Red Rock attending a roundup,
and that he heard of the murder that
morning for the first time. He said
he returned to the ranch house about
Z o'clock that evening and that when he
reached that place he found Johnson
there. He said the boys had trouble
with Montgomery during the summer,
and that in the first part of September
he also had trouble with the detective.

FOOTBALL AT EMPoRIA.
z. O. NEEDLES Beat the Normals by a
Score of % to o.

Emporia, kas., Nov. 2-The red and
yellow of the University Medical col
lege of Kansas City triumphed again
Friday afternoon, their victims being
the Kansas State Normals of Emporia-
The score was % to O.
1t was Medics all the way. Ten min
utes after the first whistle had blown
Solschied carried the ball over for a
touchdown and from that time it was
a cakewalk- The doctors made one
more touchdown in the first half, Poor
yards after Stewart had executed the
quarterback fake for twenty yards
The NOrnalS, who were shy of men
and forced to put in Coach Williams,
played a good game considering the
tough proposition they had on their
hands, and they made some very COM
mendable plays. Williams himself. of
course, outclassed his team mates, and
that the MedicS' score was not much
larger may be attributed to his splendid
performance He was a tower of
strength at breaking through the Med
les line and tackling men, and when
1T came to running his end he was
nearly always in the way to stop the
play. Several times he held the braWny
doctors for losses.
The game was not entirely void of
accidents Eastman, right tackle of the
Normals, received a broken arm early
in the first half and retired in favor of
Keith. and towards the end of the sec
ond half Capt Middlekauff retired in
favor of Ise, while FRANKIE of the Medics
was injured and quit the game Just
after the beginning of the second half
The game consisted of two 221k min
ute halves, but it was called eight min
utes before the end of the second half
to allow the Medics to catch their train.

TFrom the Denver Times.

at can't say much about the team"
the manager of the D. A C.'s said, as
he signed an order for new chalk lines.
THE result is very uncertain, and L
must say I am worried 1 am not COM
planning. I don't want the boys to
think that I do not appreciate their
efforts. 1 know that everyone has done
his best and the responsibility for in
efficiency does not rest on coach or
man. but on lack of practice.
There are so few teams in this part
of the country that we have a lack of
bucking material and cannot get prac-
tice games. The only teams we have
been able to get up against are the higl
school boys and the Denver university.
Both are very light and do not offer
the stubborn resistance which we will
meet in our games with the big ones
Washburn has a team that is this
season, and will in my opinion be the
strongest pitted against us; for that
reason / wish that we could take them
on later in the season. In their games
with the X c. Medics. and the boys
from st. Mary's they showed that they
were masters of gridiron science and
would dispute territory with anything
from a cyclone to a grammar school.
They have played five games this sea-
son and have not yet suffered defeat.
We have had, as you see, little or no
actual practice. Do you wonder that
am worried?' he concluded as a sad
smile broke his face in half.

GIFT FOR THE COLLEGE.
Two Pure Bred Galloway Heifers Go
to Manhattan.

Manhattan, Kas., Nov. Pm. R. Plat,
of Kansas City, has donated to the
Kansas State Agricultural college the
two pure-bred Galloway heifers, Golden
Sunset of Dyke Creek and Black Velvet
of Dyke Creek. Mr.. Platt has the larg-
est Galloway herd in the world. and
since 1876 he has introduced into his
herd the best blood that he could Sc
cure, both in Scotland and the United
States.
Mr.. Platt said to representative of
the college: MY old friend, Secretary
Coburn, is now regent of the Kansas
State Agricultural college. He will push
the live stock work of the college as it
has never been pushed before. want
to help him. You may send the best
expert that you have and let him select
the best two heifers in my herd and 1
will give them to the college to help
Secretary Coburn in his work of build
ing up animal husbandry in your col
lege."
The two heifers are choice individuals
and are descended from Black Prince of
Drumlanrig, the premier Galloway bull
of modern times. He was never defeat
ed in the show ring, and $4,000 was
offered and refused for him when he
was upwards of eleven years of age.
