FEEDING vALUR or TtM0-
THY. SORGHUM Ann
LEGUMEs

The results Of a feeding export
ment conducted at the Missouri sta
,ion have recently been received
from Director IL. J.. Waters. The
object Of this experimen, was 10
compare the feeding value Of al
number OF forms Of roughage.
YearIing steers were used in the
test, each lot being fed a similar
quantity Of grain. From Decem-
Der, 1899. to April, 1900, during a
period Of ioI days, four steers made
an average daily gain per steer OF
.6s pounds, during which time they
were fed four pounds Of shelled
corn each per day and all the timo-
thy they would eat. Another lot
fed the same quantity Of corn and
cow pea hay for r~oughage gave an
average daily gam of 1874 pounds.
A second trial was made beginning
January, 1901, and continued tor a
period Of eighty days, during which
time each lot of tour yearling steers
consumed six pounds Of corn per
head per day in addition to the
rougbage. which in the tour lots
consisted Of timothy, clover, millet
and sorghum. In this case the aver
age daily gam per steer was one
pound in the timothy lot, two
pounds in the clover lot, 81 pounds
in the millet lot, and 81 pounds IN
the sorghum lot. A third trial be-
ginning December, 1901, and con-
tiuuing Tor r2o days gave the fol
lowing results: The timothy lot
made an average daily gain per
steer OF I.37 pounds, those fed
clover f.es pounds, another lot fed
alfalfa I.63 pounds, while lot No.
la fed on sorghum gained T.2s
pounds. The results as given
above would indicate that foods
containing a relatively large amount
of protein, such as clover, COW peas
and alfalfa, are much superior when
fed in conjunction with corn to
young steers to such foods as ,imo-
thy, aiIIet and sorghum. Ia the
first trial cited the gain produced By
/ feeding twenty-nine bushels Of corn
in conjunction with timothy hay
was a62 pounds. while this amount
gf corn combined with cow pea hay
produced a gain Of GA pounds, OF
| more than two and one-third things
as much. In the second trial thirty
tour bushels Of corn and timothy
bay made sIS pounds OF gain, whilc
the same quantity OF corn togc,hel
with an ample supply Of clover hay.
produced Oh pounds, or a little
more than twice as much. In ths
same time the miIlei lot gained l6f
pounds. A somewhat better show.
/. ing was made by timothy IN The
third trial, the gain being in this IN.
stance 659 pounds, while the same
amount Of corn combined with clio.
yer produced = gain Of 9sS pounds.
During the same period the sor.
gLum lot gained on pounds. IN
addition to the larger gains made By
the lots receiving the lsgume hay
|. Prof. Waters says that these steers
carried much more bloom. shed
their winter costs earl,er and show.
ed more evidence Of superior thrift
and vigor.
In the light Of the above facts IL
would seem that farmers and stock.
men should endeayor TO grow as
much clover aud sell as little as pc :
s,ble. II hay is,o be disposed Of,
1t should be timothy. especially
since If sells for a higher price on
the market and does not remove 50
much fertility from the land.

The Wilson. Gorman law did not
materially reduce duties en- iron and
steel manufactures. and the indus
try suffered only as 1t was affected
by the lessened purchasing power
OF the people. On the other hand,
our textiles, with no more Protee-
ton under the Mckinley law than
was absolutely necessary for their
existence. were mercilessly dealt
with in the Wilson-G German law.
The chef aim Of the law was free
wool. Well. we had free wool,
the fT~ee-trader's great desideratum
of tree raw material for our wooden
mills, and what was the RESULT In
the words Of the "CommeTeial Bull
ledn" Of Boston. there followed "a
more fearful succession OF disaster
and breakdown than could have
been imagined. The price Of wool
has been reduced almost one-hali.
Shut-dOwns, cut wages. strikes and
failures have been the daily pabu-
hm.''
The IS per cent increase had all
been gained in 1891 and 1891. BY
the free wool law our wooden in
dustries were thrown back beyond
the output Of 1890. The recovery
of all this lost ground and a consid-
cradle increase in output has come
since the restoration OF wool duties
by the Dingley law, and It has come
in spite of a worldwide over pro-
duction and stagnation in the WOOL
en- industry. But to-day the pros
poets are bright, the market is brisk
and the demand for wool greater
than for several years and at profit
able prices. The Wilson-G orman
law also put flax and hemp and iu,e
on the free list and reduced the tar
iH on manufactures. Adequate
Protection Is now given 10 both
hbers and finished products, with
the result thar ute goods and linens
are being manufactured quite ex-
tensiyely.
There Is no reason why the Unit
ed States should cot become the
greatest fiber producing country IN
the world, stimulating The manu-
features Of 6brous products, giving
the farmers a profitable diversifea'
ton and employment 10 millions d.
American wages. Out cotton IN.
dusiry is principally noteworthy be-
cause OF the progress being made in
the south. There are now about
7,ooo.ooo spindles In the south, and
whereas in 1890 the takings Of
northern spinuers were 76.7 pei
cent and Of the southern mills s5.5
per cent, to-day the percentages are
lS4.s per cent by the north and 45.1

1852, became head of the Bible Chris

The word "stove," as applied to a
heater for n room. seems TO be of about
the same age ms the article to which the
name Is now applied, for while the
word as name had an existence in
early English ii was used in a different
sense.
Both Lord Bacon and Woodward
used 1t as referring to house or room
artiflcially warmed and particularly a
hothouse for plants. Bacon also used
the word as a verb In the way of keep
ing warm In a house or room, as ito
stove orange trees and myrtles, TO
quote from his writings. Pcpys used
the verb In nautical sense as heating
for the purpose Of making pliable, as
'.stOve bolt ropes"
But all these definitions are obsolete
now, such disuse dating from the time
when DIR. Franklin made his discover
les and applications. The French word
"etuve," II may be added, describes a
hothouse or bathing room, and hence Is
parallel in meaning with The early Eng
lish word.

people of Nevada have no confidence
in Newlands. -
The New York Sun speaks OF New
lands as Tho pesky Newlands who
stands in Stewards way" and says. !.
''Mr. Stewards ostensible reason
for coming to Oyster Bay was to talk
irrigation to the President. The pes
ky Newlands has had the cheek to go
before the people of Nevada and say
that he, Newlands, forced Congress
to pass the only effective irrigation
law that ever got on the statute books.
Mr., Stewart thinks he can 4ick Mr..
Newlands, but would not reject exec
utive offers of assistance -
Then the Senator turns up in Wash.
ington. Doubtless he proposes TO ap-
peal to the Republican National Com
mittee and the Republican Congress
sional Committee for funds. There
he is freely interviewed by all the
papers; again his subject is New

no politics-Newlands who has no
party-Newlands who is everything to
all men,
1t Is amazing how much trouble
Stewart takes with busted balloon,
and with man who has lost the con
fidence of Nevada.
And then, how remarkable the CON
trast of his utterances regarding
Judge Hawley: "liawley is the peer
of the leading Senators of the United
States" !" "Hawley is the idol of the
people of Nevada. "rhey regard
him as one of them" ''He did not
go there to seek his office, but became
a resident of the State of Nevada at
an early date
And so 1t goes. Stewart becomes a
"Home Ruler" Stewart objects to
Newlands because he has only resided
here fourteen years. Stewart applauds
Hawley because he Is an old resident.
Hawley, according to Stewart, is the
idol of the Nevada people. The pur-
pose of all this is very clear. Stew
art knows that the people of the East
regard Nevada as forever opposed to
Republican policies candidates.
He is beating the tomtoms with a
view to inspiring himself and the
party leaders in the East with conf
dence, and his hope is to bring all
administrative, trust and monopolis-
tic forces to work in behalf of his
scheme; not to elect Hawley, but to
secure eleven hold-over senators for
himself.

slow growth of the Bible Christians Is
due to the peculiar provisions to their
creed, which compel members to alb
stain from partaking of foods which
for ages have been considered neces-
sary to physical strength and health.
The Bible Christians were founded
by Rev. w. Cowherd, Of Manchester,
Eng, In 1907. Mr.. Cowherd, who was
teetotaler and a vegetarian, held
that meat eating was at the base of
the crime of the world. 1t made men
cruel and, because they slaughtered
animals daily, they were blind to the
wrong of slaughtering their fellows by
the bullet in warfare and by the moose

game, thus making him subscribe 81
COO to the support of the team. The
electric company gets all the receipts
from the carrying of people back and

and the new had been settled by Pres
ident Hickey. of the American League
who had been called in as an arbitra-
tor in the questions that have existed.
These differences, Mr.. Gilks said. re-
lated to certain teams or cities that
both sides want, and just how the set
tlement has been perfected he could
not say. but he felt that the adjust
ment was for the best interest of both
Leagues. The information. also said,
that Charleston is alright as mem
Der of the new league.
