MoAey N This Way,

At time like the present when wheat
is bringing comparatively low price
it is q sery important matter to
farmers to make the best possible use
of the crop. And when, as now, cornis
high manysfarmers are considering
the best possible economy Of feeding
wheat to their live stock rather than
sending it to the mills. This is ques-
tion of the utmost Importance to the
farmers of the northwest, and, Incl
dentally, to the whole country, for
whatever makes the farmers more
prosperous makes the towns and cities
more prosperous.
To assist in solving this problem for
the farmers Prof. Snyder, Of the Min
= nesota Agricultural Experiment sta
tion, has just compiled bulletin show
ing the results of experiments in :eed'
ing wheat, made by the various expert.
ment stations of the country during
a few years past. This brings to.
gether a.pass of practical information
on the subject and may be taken as
authoritative.
At the Minnesota station it was dem
onstrated that ground wheat was 10
per cent. more digestible than when
fed whole. but slightly less digesti.
bile than corn. But a mixture of the
two feeds waAfound to be better than
either one fed separately. This was
also shown at the tests at the Wiscon-
sin station where an average of 49S
pounds of ground wheat'wa required
to produce 100 pounds gain in live
weight of hogs. while 49s pounds of
corn produced the same results; but
when wheat and corn We're mixed in
equal parts, only ASS pounds of the
feed were necessary to produce gain
of 100 pouads in weight of the animals.
The bulletin gives account of many
other very interesting experiments
which are well worthreading by the
intelligent farmer But the gist of the
whole matter is found in the summary
a, the close which says:
'''rhe results obtained when wheat
was fed at the various experiment sta
tions show that, as food for grow
ing pigs. it is somewhat preferable TO
corn. The best results, however are
obtained when wheat is ground and
fed with other grains. A mixture of
equal parts of ground wheat and corn
gives better results than cit her wheat
or corn when fed alone. Experiments
show that ground wheat is ten per
cent. more digestib.e than whole
wheat. When the price of wheat is low
and it can be purchased for the same
price per pound or less than corn. it
viii pay to Use wheat in ration. The
manure from wheat-fed animals is
more valuable han from corn-fcd an
imals. As food for dairy animals
ground wheat has been found to be
fully equal to corn or mixture Of corn
and barley. and when fed 10 fat;ening
steers ground wheat produced about
the same result in "A ra H Il as ground
corn. From the eXporinI nts hat have
been conducted, it would appear that
the value of wheat. as Il food. depends.
to a great extent, on the way in which it
is fed. and the foods with which 1t is
combined. When properly used and
combined with other grains, wheat Is
a valuable animal food. In addition to
its being equal to corn fer fattenng
animals. and superior to corn for
growing animals. it is also equal to
corn in "A dairy ration

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Those people who consider milking
Irksomc viii never make good dairy
men.
1t is not always the man with the
biggest herd Of COWS who clears the
most money from his dairy.
Gilt edged butter is more to be de-
sired on the average customers plate
than auy delicary Of tbs season.
1t is a parody on cleanliness to try
TO strain filth out Of milk when it
might have been ohviated by the ex-
errse Of the most ordinary precau-
tions.
1t is curious fact, and yet true,
that haSe of the most profitable mo-
ments anyone engaged in dairying
can spend are in repeated washing of
the hands.
While It pays to raise hogs in con-
junction with the dairy, it never has
or never will pay the manufactory to

Ten Men Killed ~ an Explo-

to Heed.
PITTSBURG, Dec. q Ten men
were burned to death and four injur-
ed by an explosion of gas at the Soho
furnace of Jones & Laughlin. limited,
in Second avenue. near Brady street.
The explosion was caused by slip in
the furnace, the gas and flames belch-
ing upward through the bell. The men
We're on the furnace platform, eighty.
five feet above the ground.
There were nineteen men on the fur
mace platform when the explosion Oc-
Cured. Fifteen of them We're caught
In the flames, two of whom escaped
with slight injuries. The other four
We're the regular men employed as top
filters, who escaped without injury.
The explosion was caused by the gas
becoming incased in a crust of cinder
forming at the bottom of the furnace.
A wheelbarrow containing ore had
been sent up to the men, and when
they went to dump it into the bell Of
the furnace they pushed it over too far,
and 1t rolled into the hopper. The bar
row weighed aD0 pounds and was too
heavy for the four men to raise. The
fifteen laborers, all Hungarians. were
then sent up to assist them. Had 1t
not been for the barrow accident no
one would have been hurt, as the regu-
lar men knew how to protect them
selves at such times. as similar explo-
sions are Of frequent occurrence.
The most distressing feature of the
disaster was the death of one of the
men. He was seen by the thousands
of people who were on their way to
work to run to the platform railing and
leap into the air. He was Il mass OF
names as he whirled through the air.
He fell on the stockynrd shed and lit
orally burned to death before the eyes
of the crowd, tift&feet below, who had
no way to reach him.
The residents of Second avenue who
saw the accident say ii was too horri-
hle to describe
When the explosion occurred, burn
ing heaps Of cinders settled around the
men almost knee deep. Their shrleks
were terrible. and their frantic efforts
to save themselves were pitiful in the
extreme.
General Manager j. Il. Laughln said
that the accident was one of the most
disastrous that had ever occurred in
the history Of the company.

and told the men TO come away. | sup
