SOLVING THE FEED QUESTION.
D. Trott Tells the Result Of Some Ex-
periments.

l
There is an expression that com.
mences thus: "Letyour light shine,
etc. may soy: "Let others know Of
your experience, Of YOUR success or
failures in your method Of doing
things, Of growing or feeding certain
crops as they may be benefited there
by" We learn from one another, or
should, or else we may buy our
knowledge very dearly. Some have
short memories, and continual repe-
tition Of things is necessary in order
to make an impression on their minds,
while others remember quickly and
are quick to put in practice things
that strike their minds as being prac'
tical. Sometimes we learn from 9th
ers' failures as well as from their sue
cess. There are lessons to be learned
every day, and our minds should be
cultivated that we may learn them
quickly. The benefit from learning
what not to do may be as valuable to
us as to learn what to do. If l do a
certain thing and fail at it it may
save others much time and money TO
know it. But II succeed others
may do likewise. The mind that is
trained to grasp the situation quickly
is the one that succeeds. Once is
often enough to tell some things, and
may be once TOO many to tell other
things, while others will bear repeat
ing many times over. My success
again (this year, in growing rye kadr
corn and rape for green feed for hogs
has been all 0. K. The rye did not
make quite as good yield Of grain
this year as last, but the yield was
very good, twenty bushels to the
acre. 1t furnished lots Of green food
for the hogs, calves and colts all last
fall, winter and spring, and to make
twenty bushels of grain to the acre
after so much green food furnished
was certainly very good, The kadr
that was sown early in May was
ready for the hogs to be turned onto
as soon as they were shut off from
the rye field. The rape was growing
nicely. but the hogs did not trouble
it much while the kalir was green.
But now they are feasting on the
rape, which is quite green and still
growing. We had very hot, dry
summer and the rape did not grow
last during this summer as it did last
when 1t was cooler and the rain much
more abundant. But since cooler
weather has come and rain has fur.
nisbed moisture the rape is doing
inely. 1t will now furnish lots Of
green stuff till killed by frost. 1t
,akes a pretty hard frost to kill it,
md by that time the rye will be
'eady for the hogs again. Now is
rood time to prepare a field Of rye or
wheat for the hogs. 1t will make lots
II feed that will make growth. 1t
will also save corn, and corn saved is
money made, and this will help iatten {
he pocketbook and make us happy. {

UNDER NEW BALLOT LAW.
The Things Which Invalidats Vote
Are Defined,

HAD the OLD Australian ballot Law
defined what should invalidate t..
ballot, there would have been no con
test over the office OF mayor of To-
peka. 1t did not, however, and the
supreme court must hand down a de-
cision relative to the matter which
cannotspossibly have any hearing or
future elections. The new election
law lays down absolute rules as to
what shall render ballot void. BY
direction Of the legislature, Secre-
tary Of State Clark has issued a
pamphlet containing the new election
law and instructions to voters. Fol-
lowing is the section regarding the
marking of ballots:
"Any ballot is wholly VOID, and no
vote thereon can be counted,
''If cross X mark shall be found
thereon outside Of a circle or voting
square; or
at any mark shall be found there.
on other than the cross Y mark; or
III cross X mark shall be found
in circle at the head OF ticket and
also in one or more voting squares on
that or any other voting ticket, un.
less the cross X mark shall be in the
circle at the head of a ticket and also
in each and every voting square after
a name on the same ticket; or
"If cross X mark shall be found
in two or more circles at the head OF
different tickets; or
III a names or names be written
thereon other than the name Of some
person whose name is not printed on
the ballot for whom the voter has
voted in the blank column or
''lf more candidates have been
marked than there are persons to be
elected to an office; or
"If the ballot has been defaced or
torn by the voter; or
"If there has been eraced from the
ballot any device, emblem, figure,
letter or word; or
"If the ballot has been written up
on or marked with anything except
a pencil having black lead.
"ln making the cross X mark, one
line crossing another at any angle,
within circle or voting square, is
deemed valid voting mark"
1.-THE law also makes it necessary
Tor several different ballots to be
printed for each election. 1t says:
1.-THE names OF all candidates for |
'ffices higher than township officers
ire printed on separate ballot,
as the general ballot.
The township tickets are printed on a
separate ballot, designated as the
township ballot City tickets are
'lso printed on separate ballot,
designated as the city bollot' When
constitutional amendment or other
question or proposition is submitted
% popular vote, the amendment,
question or proposition must be
printed on separate ballot.
Separate ballot boxes must be
at the expense Of the respect
We townships and cities, for the re-
option Of each class OF ballots, and
must be properly labeled"

UNLIKE ANY OTHER RACE
RESULTS OF A STUDY OF THE Fill.
PINOS.
Notes on the Different Peoples That
Inhabit the Philippine
Islands.

among the papers transmitted to Con-
sress by Secretary Root is a report upon
the people of the Philippines, compiled in
the division of insular affairs from the
RECORDS OF the War Department, although
composed In great part of the personal OBJ
serVances of many officers recently re-
turned from the islands
PROBABLY the longest and most valuable
contributions to this work have been sup-
piled by Chaplain Miller, who while sery-
ing with the volunteer army in the archi-
peiaso made thorough study of condi-
tlons there and particularly of the people
themselves
Inc origin of the wild tribes that now
lnhabit the islands is traced to the Aetas
or Nesrltos, who are believed to be of
AIrlcan descent. The domesticated ma
tlVes are spoken of i'm contradistfnction to
the Wild mountain tribes, and are of un-
certain origin, although the generally ac-
cepted theory is that they first migrated
from Madagascar to the Malay peninsula
The filfpinos are described as being horn
stoics, ana 1t Is said that travellers are i'm
pressed at once with their impassiye do
ineanor. They possess peculiarly complex
ciaracter, and while generally exhibiting
the characteristics of the average oriental
sun there are other traits that cron ONT
Whlch mark them as being unlike any other
race or living people. In his domestic life
iaPAlo appears more SOl1cltOuS about
the cleanliness of his person than his
uWeiilng, and he is noted for a very gener-
Gus hospitality. Music is an Inherent mas
sion with him, and fine performers on va
rlouS instruments are to be found down
10 the very poorest classes
Ihe people of the Philippines are very
rehslous, it is stated. Their system IS
