BRYAN IN DlSFAv0R.
Ma Picture Spoiled Mt the state Conven-
tion Of ONO Democrats-Chicago ana
Kansas City Platforms Denounced'

Columbus, O., July 1.-THE demo-
cratic state convention here yester-
day had more prominent men as dele
gates than any convention OF demo-
Gratis in Ohio for many years. Inc
nomination Of Col. Kilbourne for gov
ernor was appropriately called one
of Spontaneous combustion" In the
alleged stampede 'for principles
rather than men," the most striking
turn Of the convention was on Bryan.
The most bitter things were said OF
his leadership in the committee on
resolutions yesterday morning,
where 1t was insisted that his name
should be mentioned and that there
should be no reference to either
of the national platforms on which
he made his campaigns. After this
plan had been agreed on, one OF the
q members Of that committee offered
u minority report, reafiirming the
Kansas City platform and expressing
confidence in Bryan, and he received
only six votes out Of $50 delegates on
his substitute for the platform pre-
amble. A few moments after the
,tatform was adopted, one OF these
six delegates called attention to the
fact that pictures Of other democrats
were displayed in the hall, and none
of Bryan, as heretofore. lie started
to carry small banner with Bryan's
picture on It to the platform. The
aisles were ordered cleared and the
picture did not reach its destination.
II was trampled under foot and
spoiled during the wild demonstra-
tions when Klbourne was escorted In
TO the hall. Members Of the commit
tee on resolutions say that over one
hour was spent after midnight in ef-
forts TO strike the word "saleable"
out Of the plank on railway taxation
and several hours in dcnounclng the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms
and the leader who stood on them.
The platform caused much comment
last night over what It does not say
M well as over what IL does say.

SAL.
RESULTS IN FEED LOT AFTER WEAVING.
In the fall all these calves were
placed in the feed lot, where they
were pushed for baby beef. During
the seveh months under experiment,
the skim milk calves gained 44O
pounds per head, the whole milk
calves, 4O5 pounds per head, and the
calves nursed by the cows, 422 pounds
per head.
This experiment shows that the
feed cost Of raising good skim-milk
calf need not exceed 1928 in contrast
to 1876 whole-milk calf, and 81
for one nursed by the dam. The
skim-milk calf becomes accustomed
to eating both grain and roushnes'
early in life, is handled enough to b.
gentle, and when transferred to thu
feed lot is ready to make rapid an(
economical gains. d. ii. Otis.

EDUCATORS MEETING.


Detroit, Mich, July 1.-Two gem
eral meetings of the National Edu-
cational association, meeting of the
Indian Educational department and
ten separate department meetings
kept the delegates to the fortieth
National Educational association con-
vention busy yesterday.
The nominating committee in the
afternoon selected the following Off
GERS, who will be voted on later by
the convention: President, W. M.
Bradschear, president of Iowa college;
treasurer, Charles II. Reyes, of Hart
ford, Conn. Eleven vice presidents
were also placed in nomination. IT
is considered probable that the con
vention will ratify these nominations
AT the general session of the assoc
citation at night papers were read BY
Frederick NJ. Crunden, Of St. Louis,
and Principal George M. Grant, u
Queens university, Kingston. Ont.
Mr.. Crunden urged greater co-opera-
ton between teachers and libraries.
He warned the teachers, however, to
avoid placing in the hands of their
children books that taught lessons
only. He said in this connection;
"The library books should be disas
ISOLATED from textbooks and lessons
Let there be some instruction in all
the books given the children, but
avoid the appearance of teaching
them in the books they read for
pleasure"

at a distance from the city. The hot
blast was stopped by the breaking

INSULAR QUESTIONS,
Many Congressman Visit the Phil
ippiues to Get Information.
GREAT DEBATE EXPECTED IN HOUSE


Washington, July TO- The de.
parture of number of democratic
representatives in congress for the
Philippines is q part of the pro-
gramme of some of the democrats
for next winters session of congress.
Insular questions are expected to oc-
cupy the attention of the house and
senate to considerable degree, and
some of the democrats are gong to
gather campaign material for the con-
templated attack on the administra-
tons policy.
Mr.. DeArmond, of Missouri, who
aspires to wrest from Mr.. Richardson,
of Tennessee, the leadership of the
minority, is the latest addition to the
list of Phillippine-bound statesmen.
1t is assumed in congressional circles
that Mr.. DeArmond will take the
Philippine question as his gauge of
battle against the republicans, and
incidentally to clinch his hold as the
leader of the democratic side of the
house.
Some of the "leaders" will advocate
attacking the republicans on the trust
question, notwithstanding the lemon
stration of the inability of the demo-
Gratis to agree upon an antitrust
policy in the first session of the last
congress, when the republicans passed
bill through the house to regulate
trusts. Others, like Mr.. DeArmondi
will take colonial policies for their
text.
It is said that the democratic rep
rcsentatives bound for the Philippines
are going to look for abuses mainly
They will have an eye out for the
weak points in the administration OF
the new civil government and will
doubtless have ready ear for the
echoes of mistakes and malalminis
tration of the old military regime. In
ether words, they are said to be seek
ing grounds for condemnation ant
criticism of the American policy witt
which to support their general objec
tons to the system Of expansion or
which this government is now pro
ceeding.

THREE WAYS TO RAISE CALVES.
Important Tests Made by the State
Agricultural College.

Twenty head Of grade Shorthorn
and Hereford calves were purchased
by the Kansas experiment station in
the spring Of 1900 and divided into
two lots. One lot was fed on steril'
lied creamery skim-milk with a grain
ration composed Of equal parts OF
corn and Kaffir corn meal, with all
the alfalfa hay they wo"ld eat. The
second lot was fed the same as the
first, except that fresh whole milk
was used instead Of skim.milk. 10
addition to these two lots the station
secured the privilege OF weighing
twenty-five head of high-grade Here
ford calves which were running with
their dams in a pasture near the ex'
pertinent station
RESULTS WITH SKIM-MILK.
For the twenty-five weeks under
experiment the ten calves consumed
24,7S6 pounds Of skim-milk, l'4So
pounds Of corn chop, 1,4SO pounds OF
Kanir corn meal and GAL pounds OF
alfalfa hay. The total gain was 1881
pounds, or daily average OF l5l
pounds per head. Figuring skim
milk at Is cents per hundred, grain
at 50 cents per hundred pounds and
hay at "a per ton, the total feed cost
Of raising these calves was $52.6S, or
1857 per head. The feed cost for
each 100 pounds Of gain was 1926
Cows that are MIXED will produce
larger yields than when sucking
calves. According to the average
Weld at this station, ten COWS Zone
for each calf produced 55,54O pounds
Of milk testing 1893 per cent butter
fat. With butter fat al l5l cents per
pound, this would amount to $SSS.52.
The value OF the skim.milk not need
ed by the calves would raise this to
sS74.24. Deduct from this the value
Of the feed consumed by the calves
and there remains $SSl.56, or $S2.lt
per calf to pay for the expense Of
milking, feeding the calves, and haul
ing the milk to the creamery. At III
cents per hour, this expense need moi
be one.half OF the above sum, having
$l5 to SIG clear profit for each cal
raised on skim.milk.
RESULTS WITH WHOLE MILK
In % weeks these ten calves con
sumed 20, 2S7 pounds Of fresh milk
SS5 pounds OF corn chop, $50 pounds
Of Kaffir corn meal and SS5 pounds o
alfalfa hay. The total gain was 2,S7'
pounds, or a daily average OF l.9'
pounds per head. Charging butte

Of raising these calves amounts II

RESULTS NURsED BY THE COWS.
On May 2S, 1900, twenty-five calve
