WANTS A STATE
BOARD OF ASSESSORS

Denver. Colo. Nov. II. - Attor-
ney General c. c. Post will recon-
mend in his. biennial report that the
constitution of the state of Colorado be
amended to permit the establishment
of State Board of Assessors, such as
was created by the revenue law OF 1901. 4.
declared unconstitutional by Judge
Dixon and Judge Riner. The attor-
ney generals report will be presented
to the governor about December 1st.
and the above will be the most i'm
portant recommendation.
81 will also advocate the establish
ment of a permanent land board" said
General Post. Il believe that entirely
too much work is put on the state off,
cials by the necessity of attending to
the business of these two boards of
equalization and land. and think ther
ought to be a provision of the statutes
or constitution making these two
boards entirely separate from the elect
ed administration. That would take an
immense amount of work OFF the shoul-
ders of the governor attorney gem
eral, superintendent of schools, audit
or and other officials, and would per-
init them to devote more time to the
details of their official work at present
looked after by assistants.
The. Board of Assessors. as things
stand. can BE created only by constitu-
tional amendment. Such a board was
created by the revenue law of last year
but was declared unconstitutional by
two judges. fought their decisions,
and | still think this the most import
ant and useful provision of the law.
But. IL 1t is unconstitutional. we ought
to amend the constitution so as to per-
NIT the establishment of the board It
will relieve the officials who have
enough to do in the work of their re-
spective Offices.
'As to the land board, its import
ance and the growing amount of busi-
ness IL handles show more and more
the need of putting its work into the
hands of board especially appointed
for the purpose. | shall urge these two
changes most strongly in my report"

VANDERBILT LINES TO
RAISE WAGES OF EMPLOYEES

New York. Nov. 17.-All precedents
in the railroad business have been
broken by the management of the
Vanderbilt lines of railways running
out of New York
President w H Newman of the
New York Central system said to-day
at the Waldorf-Astoria
I'VE are increasing the salaries of
our employees all along the line. We
are not arranging a horizontal in
crease. but we are advancing our men
on their individual merits. Some OF
our men will be advanced as much as
twenty per cent. and others will not be
advanced more than five per cent. but
there will be an Increase all along the
line.
There have been several reasons
which have led to the determination
to increase the wages of our men. In
the first place. the cost of living has
been materially increased during the
past year. In the next place we are
crowded to death with business, both
freight and passenger. and 1t is no

Points in judging sheee.

As with beef cattle. there is Ger
tain parallelogram for shape that one
looks for in the mutton sheep. ine
Judge will probably take this into
consideration by sizing the sheep IN
his eve before any handling whatever
An ideal mutton sheep is never
without good legs that come to the
ground squarely and give every indi-
cation of possessing power anu
strength to support the body. Inc
sheep with legs short. stocky and set
well apart will Invariably attract the
attention of the judge of good NUT
ton sheen. says the Drovers' Journal
The mutton sheep with fine zone
seldom finds favor with the Judge.
He is inclined to interpret such indi'
cations as lack of vigor and hardness
and Indifferent response to good feed
ing
The long narrow face is never CON
sidered anything but weakness
among the mutton types. Instead, one
desires to see the short nose and
broad face. indicating heavy confor-
nation.
A mutton sheep with a ''ewe neck"
is about as much out of place as
dairy COW without the pronounced
wedge shape formation. The drop in
tne neck III iTOEt ol Ant Shohiutio .
called "ewe neck" is invariably avoid
ed almost instinctively by both judge
and experienced feeder.
mutton sheep is never without
good depth from the top Of the shout
der and a point midway between the
fore legs. An equally essential fea-
ture and which follows chest depth in
close correlation is girth of heart. II
is hard to find mutton sheep too
strong in either of these two points.
A prominent backbone or spine is
avoided. as 1t is sure indication of
deficiency of flesh. along the back
and loin. 1t is of some considerable
importance that a good mutton sheep
be close coupled-that is. the distance
between the last rib and the hip joints
be comparatively short.
Among mutton sheep the wool is OF
minor consequence though IL must be
considered in connection with the
other points of the carcass.
The judge Of a mutton sheep never
falls to pay a little attention at least
to the thigh. There is a certain law
of correlation of parts existing
throughout the whole conformation.
One never sees a poor thigh on n
first-class mutton body
There are numerous other points
that Judges will invariably run over
in judging a good mutton carcass, and
these are but a few of the most dis
tinct, but will give a glimpse OF some
of the more prominent features.

Feeding Sugar Beet Pulp.

Sugar beet pulp is a very watery
food. containing only about 200 pounds
of dry matter in one ton of pulp. En-
sliced pulp contains a little more dry
matter than when fresh and all expe.
rience teaches that after being ensi.
loed for one or two months, or longer.
1T makes much better cattle feed.
This is an additional reason for. as
far as possible. hauling the pulp in the
fall and storing 1t. At the Utah sta
'tion we have as yet fed pulp to lambs
only, but there is considerable exper-
imental data in regard to Its use as
food for steers and several expert
.ments have been conducted with cows
with pulp as a part of the ration. Ex-
,perience seems to indicate that the
pulp. like skim milk. has a feeding
value greater than its dry matter
would seem to Indicate when fed in
combination with other folders. To
get the largest returns from Its use,
however, the pulp must be fed as a
supplement to a full ration OF grain
and hay. giving the animals all the
pulp they will eat. This Is especially
true on ranch where all the crops
raised are fed to stock and the farmer
wishes to get the largest possible re-
turns from feeding his hay and grain.
htn lHt grains nave
be purchased and are expensive, IL
may pay to feed larger proportion
of pulp. especially when close to a
factory. In feeding lambs we have
found that with a ration of alfalfa
grain and all the pulp they would eat
the lambs gained nearly two-fifths
more than those fed on grain and al.
Falfa without the pulp. However
when the amount of pulp was limited
to fifty pounds a day the gains were
very much less and only a little in
excess of the grain and alfalfa ration.
The lambs fed on alfalfa and pulp
made very good gains. but the in
crease seemed TO be In growth rather
than fattening. Considering the econ.
omy OF growth the lambs on the al
falfa. grain and full pulp ration pro-
duced a pound OF gain for every five
and one-sixth pounds of dry matter in
the food. 1t required eight pounds of
dry matter for one pound of gain with
ration of alfalfa and pulp and eight
and four-hundredths pounds with a ra.
tion of alfalfa and grain. In this test
not more than an average OF three
and one-half pounds of pulp daily were
fed to each lamb and not more than
seven pounds day at any time in the
test. Other experiments in feeding
sheep and lambs are confirmatory OF
the results we have obtained. Lambs
and wethers fed sugar beet pulp with
ration OF hay and grain in every
case gained more rapidly than those
fed on dry feed only. Sugar beet pulp
has proven an excellent feed for fat
tening steers. Last winter two steers
were weighed at the beginning of the
feeding and weighed again at the end
of two months. They gained each
nearly three pounds daily during that
time. They received good ration OF
alfalfa in addition to the pulp.-Fieid

more than right that the workers
should share in the profits OF this in
creased business
No demands have been made upon
us for an increase in wages. nor. SO
far as | know. has any such request
been considered by our employees in
any of the departments. The advance
which will be made is voluntary on the
part of the companies and will be
made on recommendation of the ofii-
GERS according to the ability and posi-
tion of the employe."
Reports OF increases in the wages of
employees of the Philadelphia & Read
ing and the Erie were current to-day
and Saturday. and conference of the
officials of the Nickel Plate at Cleve-
land last week is said to presage the
advance of wages of all employees of
that road
1t is presumed that the Northwestern
and Big Four both roads a part of the
Vanderbilt system. will follow suit in
the matter of raising the wages of
their employees.
