Some Lsmb-Feeding Experiments. :
The facts resulting from the lamb
feeding experiment at the Wyoming
Experiment Station are here reported
in brief. The principal objects sought
in the undertaking were TO make
comparison of the feeding value of al
falfa with that OF native hay and to
determine the cost of feeding lambs
for market under the conditions prev
alent on the Laramie plains and in
other parts OF the state.
In December wnen the experiment
was authorized good average lambs.
such as were most desirable for the
work, could not be secured and it was
found necessary to select the one
hundred made use of from
bunch of culls. After week
of preliminary feeding, the lambs were
divided into two sets equal in number
and as nearly so as possible in weight
and quality. The experiment began
December 2Sth. and continued for
period of ninety-five days, closing
April 9 The two lots had limited
amount of corn and all the hay they
would eat. The lambs were slaughtered
and consumed in the home market.
The butchers were highly pleased with

well satisfied with the demand lot
them. The meat was of excellent quail
ity. The people of Laramie consider
it the best mutton ever placed on sale
in this market. The following Is an

A writer on poultry subjects says
Put 100. 200 or 300 eggs into an In.
cubator and after the second day you
can notice the odor OF what the stock
that laid them have had access to.
This Is no fanciful idea, any careful
operator has noticed this Likewise
such a fowl when boiling in the pot
gives out the same unmistakable odor,
and while the same can not be detect
ed when cooking the egg the flavor can.
A fowl with access to the manure pile
or pig pen is not fit food for man, nor
are the eggs" Doubtless there is more
truth in the above than we generally
believe. We are in the habit of look
ing upon our fowls as perfect strain
ers. thinking that we can feed them
anything and that tney will eliminate
from the food all that is undesirable,
even in smell. Scientists are coming
to believe that only pure food should
be fed our domestic animals at any
time.
A successful poultry raiser says:
"There is a class of enthusiastic nov
ices who write to know if they can
make living at poultry-keeping. They
might as well ask if they can make
living at bridge building. A living can
be made at bridge building, by one who
knows all about it, but for one, we
would soon be in the poor house If we
had to depend upon bridge building, as
we would not know how to begin on a
bridge. And one can make a living
at the poultry business-if he knows
how. No novice can do it, and we are
frank to say so, but it will at least
cost the novice less to begin and try
to learn at the poultry business than
in any other direction" 1t is rather
strange that man should expect to
succeed in business in which he has
had no experience; yet we find new
men every year rushing into poultry
keeping, certain that they will sue
coed, though without moments ex-
perience in poultry-raising.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman
says that while the owners of live
stock, horses, cattle and sheep, have
been very much frightened about the
season, and not without reasons, the
indications at this writing are that
Montana is to have an exceptionally
fine grass crop. The snowless winter
and the, dry spring, especially in the
eastern part of the state, and the fact
that a succession of snowless winters
and dry seasons were followed by an
exceedingly dry summer, created con-
siderable alarm about the beginning OF
April. But the fact of general rains
throughout the entire country, and
some rain in the eastern portion of the
state. with the opening of May, is
rather reassuring, and it is scarcely
probable now that the grass crop will
be short Had things been as favor
able month ago stock cattle would
have ranged at least 81 per head high
er than they now do, and much larger
purchases of southern cattle would
have been made.

Dilapidated old shacks for poultry
houses do not indicate success with
poultry. A few may make fair show
ing under such conditions. and aspire
to nothing better. But to most men
the dilapidated affair means non-in-

repair" such buildings is to tear them
down and build new ones

stookmen and Oleo oil.

In 1899 there we're slaughtered in
this country 100000 head of cattle.
During the same year 100000
pounds of oleo oil made from the fat
of these cattle were used in oleomar-
garine made in the United States. At
8 cents per pound the oleo oil was
worth S2,100,000. Divided among
| 100000 head Of cattle it amounts to
49 cents per head as oleo oil. Sold at
| half-price as tallow, for which there
| is unlimited demand, it Is worth q IL
cents per head Wipe out oleomargar-
inc altogether in this country and sell
the fat as tallow (the Grout bill would
only wipe out the illegally colored ar
ticle at. best) and it would mean a
loss of but q 10 cents per head ON
cattle worth on an average OF about
$50 per head. How absurd to think
! of stockmen feeling this infinitely
small item.-C. Y, knight,
From market centers it is reported
that the storage of butter is going on
rapidly, and that at the present rime
the amount in the cold storage plants
east and west is fully up TO that of
! previous years. Just what the rela-
tive amount will be it is very difficult
to estimate, as good many new men
are going into the business of storing
butter. Some of these men reside in
the smaller cities and are storing their
butter there. How deeply they will
speculate remains to be found out by
the actual fact. They will doubtless
draw away from the larger cities much
of the stock that has been going thith-
er, or. rather, they will prevent the
supplies from reaching the great mar
ket centers at all. This movement was
inevitable. Hitherto, from the vicin-
ity of the smaller cities, the butter
has paid freight to the big cities, been
stored there for months and then paid
freight again back to the smaller cit
les to be consumed. This extra freight
could but act as a factor in develop
ing the storage idea in the smaller
cities. The movement will further de-
ve-p till innumerable small places will
haze their own storage plants. This
will be helped by the increase of stor-
age facilities for tubers and for fruits.
II there was ever time when the
farmer should be a student that time
is now. The whole system OF supply
and demand is rapidly changing. and
the man that does not study the new
conditions is sure to be cast aside by
the logic of events. He may indeed
die before he feels the adverse inHu-
ence very heavily, but death is the only
escape for him

The Billings Gazette reports that
shearing in Wyoming is progressing
nicely with but few delays. The clips
in almost every instance have been a
surprise to the fockmasters, in that
they are much lighter this year than
ever before The wool is shorter,
looser and cleaner than for years. One
large clip is said to have fallen short
of last years weight over $4,000 pounds
and the same number of sheep were
sheared this year as last. Others will
fall short from 5000 to $4,000 POUNDS.
The fiockmasters of that section are Of
the opinion that the clips will be much
lighter than last year.

The well-versed poultryman should
not be too ready to give advice to anna

Reports from the Northwestern por-
lions of the United States and from
Canada indicate that there is good
demand from western ranches for
stockers, at good prices. Many are be-
ing shipped from Canada and from
points as far south as Texas. The
western movement of pure bred bulls
is also very noteworthy, and the ex-
pansion of the ranching interest Is
said to be greater this year than ever
before.

The plan has been under con-
temptation for several months.
Senator Burton held the place OF
attorney for the Chickasaws until
he could get the place for his
brother. The franchises will be
worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and this profit will make
a big annual income for the COM
pany after the road has been built
and sold.

out Of Kansas. which says that.
fguratively speaking, :Soper is
the golden spike that announces
the completion OF colossal
scheme that needs but the consent
Of the Indians TO make the design
ers rich in gold aud the Indian in
wisdom.
In the fertile brain Of Senator
Burton the scheme vas incubaied,

soon be feathered. The success
oil the plan depends upon the ac-
ceptance by the several nations OF
the "advice" OF their attorneys as
to franchises in connection with
the building Of railroad that will
have feeders penetrating into the
richest sections of the several ma
tions.
II is rumored that Ex-Governor
Crawford is out Of the deal, but
that Senator Burton, the four other
attorneys, together with ST Louis
and Kansas City capitalists. are
playing the big game.
The Kansans do not expect to
make their money out Of the rail-
road, but il will be used as the ex-
cuse for cOrralling through the ma
