Feeding HOlasSas
10 Cattle.

d .
Col i.ockliGrt. who is a close student
of the science OF cattle feeding, has late
ly been trying sugar beet molasses OH
his herd. Now that TIE accumulated
molasses at tic factory is being put
through the Osinose process for reducing
it 10 sugar the opportunity is presented
for trying the feeding of the nolasses
waste, /, is taken from the factory in
cars that have a spray pipe attached.
which cars are run into the feeding yards
and the nolasscs is sprayed over the al
falfa hay and other feed spread before
the cattle. The cattle seem to enjoy it
as much ns the small boy loves moiasscs
on top OF his bread and butter. Its value
as food has not yet been determined.
Like the beet pulp, the proportion of
water TO rutritive elements is rather
large, especially as under the present
process OF extracting in vogue at The fac.
tory the niolasscs is very much diluted
when it comes 10 the cattle yards
Twenty.four carloads of corn, cotton.
seed meal and other feed has been i'm.
ported into Rocky Ford in the past two
we ks by the Lockhart Live Stock Co.
The corn has been stored in the elevator
OF the Rocky Ford Milling Co, and thir.
teen cars of the cottonseed meal found
storage III the big ice house near the
tracks,. \ few carloads of the feed were
taken direct to the cattle yards.

signed for $500 each. The filing OF the

QUEER FRONTIER EXPERIENCE

Kernel by Kernel.

In nnrating the frontier expe-

tells of II queer experience that befell
the family in the first year after set

settlements. "The winter had been
unusually long and severe. and their
store of provisions ran low. 1t was

supplies. and communication with the
outside world had been cut OF. In
dians In the neighhorhood one night
broke into the granary where the
wheat was stored and stole guam
tity. In doing this u large amount of
broken glass became mixed with the
wheat which the Indians left, SO for
many days. amidst much merry story
telling and many joke and laugh.
In spite of the serious situation. tn.
family gathered about n large table
In their living room and spent the
short winter days picking over the
wheat. kcsnei By kernel, In order TO
free II from the pieces of glass. For
this wheat stood between them and
starvation. and none of Its precious
kernels mus; he lost. Their stock of
-four had long since wasted away. as
had most of their food supplies. SO
they boiled and ate the when; with
out grinding. Relief reached them

BILL BOARDS ON MONT BLANC.
There Is No Escape for Tourists from
the wilcs Of the Adj
vcrtiscr,

The agitation in France against the
Disagreement of country landscapes
by hnring advertisements still pro-
cccds. but /. appears with doubtful
success. owing to vested interests.
The country people whose land lies
alongside the lines of railway are
readily tempted by the offers of the
advertising contractors from whom
some of them reap quite respectable
income from displaying posters which
puff soup. chocolate, drinks. etc. 1t
is said that an agent of one firm Is
now starting on a journey through
10000 communcs, in each of which he
is to arrange for the erection Of n
painted board. This is to be done in
time for the tourist season. says the
nris Messenger. The notice boards
already arranged for and erected by
this agent cost him no less than
1l,000 francs n year.
The correspondent of n French pa
per states that this system of adver-
tising has been carried to it's height
in Switzerland. where, on the very
summit of Mont Blanc, the first thing
to meet the Alpine climbers eye is
u haring advertisement.

Sugar.
The Iii: sugar factory recently I'm.
ishcd its .uear making FOR tic srlrcn
of iani-a. But IL ia not wholly firisJctl
because while the beet crop OF 1901
lns all been disposed Of ihcr. remains
rs hi.product OF the bcgt reduction
several thousand gallons u! beet mo-
lasscs. which II now hcing worked W.
into sugar. II will. no dorht. h. inter
csiinr io our readers To learn that until
u comparatively rccnt date there was
au enormous waste In tie making OF
bee; sugar. because of the want OF
beet inolaSscs.
There are two methods that have
brrn devised by chemical scicnrc fof
extracting the sugar from this mo-
iioccsa and the other thc StCGcns.
The present system In Use ~ the f!ic.
tory here IL She osmpsc. aud consists
briefly In diluting the molasscs with II
purpose. and then extracting the sugar
hy II il;criu- OF the juice. This meth
is more simple and less expensive ns to
machinery than she Stericns. bu; fl
saves only about thirty per cent. OF tle
SUGAR. By the latter as much Us ninety
Per cent. can he saved. The company
expects to udOp: the Stgffeins process
later ON.
This bee; molasscs contains products
from the hctt roots which give 1t Il
bitter taste. And II IL strong of an al
kali which docs not Improve iis flavor.
So. although mere than onc-half OF its
weight Is sugar. II WIS worthless. save
Tor fermentation ana alcohol. But
che miCul experiment has developed tho
fact tliat dry lime mixed with the mo-
lasyrs would combine with the SUGAR
In 1t and form II product insoluhie in
water So. mixing IL with lime and
then washing Ii. the sugar and line
were separated from all tile other cle-
inents in the molasses. Then the lime
and sugar being heated with cnrbonic
acid the lime combined with the ear.
bon. forming another insolublp prod
uci from which the pure sugar can he
in turn released. BY this process ninety
Per cent. of the sugar Is now recovered
from beet molasses. This little recital
will answer the question we often hear
asked why there * no such thing ny
beet sugar molasscs. The molnssrs of
heets as such Is never fit for market
inr. and when subjected to this pro-
ctss 1t yields Il rich return of good
sugar.
on the other hand cane sugar mo-
lasses il palatnble and is about aa val
liable in the form of molassps as the
amount of sugar in II would he If cx-
trncted. But there Is II less weight of
sugar In cane molasses than there used
to he. owing to improvements in the
making of cane sugar And the fact
that cane molasses IL now made in
vacuum pans. which guards 1t against
being burned and thickened ns 1t was
in the old-fasliioned open pans. re-
counts for the fact that our housewives
have no more .'black-strnp" for their
cooking. and the small boy of today
