NO MERIT IN
STOCK FOODS
Experiment Station at Ames
Arrives at That Con-
CIusion.
CORN BRINGS GOOD RETURNS
Davenport saloonkeepers Alarmed ut the
Action of Edward Brahms In Bringing
Action for the Enforcement of tho
Mulct Law.

Ames, Aug. 29.-In response to num-
erous queries from farmers and cat
tie feeders all over Iowa as to which
particular stock food possessed the
greatest merit in fattening cattle, the
experiment station at Ames decided to
conduct an experiment Of this nature.
The object of the experiment was to
show up ration of continental foods
(stock foods), the bi-products Of corn,
fax seed. cotton seed and dried blood
when fed in conjunction with corn, as
compared to a ration of corn alone
with wheat straw for roughage. Also
to determine the ACCESSIBILITY of chang
ing cattle from a full grain ration, of
dry feed, to grass.
The animals used in this experiment
were grade animals of the Hereford,
Angus and Short Horn breeds. There
were two hundred and twenty head
selected out of herd of seven hun
dred. These animals were of fair quail
ity-not quite up to the averages of
those fed throughout the state.
The best judgment possible was used
in making up the various groups so
that each and every lot should have
an equal chance with all the others.
The steers were fed under average
farm conditions so that the work would
! mean something to the men it was in
tended to benefit-the farmers and
feeders of Iowa.
Great care was exercised that the
test should be accurate and the re-
suits accurately set forth.
The stock foods failed to make the
showing claimed for them, while gluten
meal, by-product of corn, showed up
well. In fact, lot 8, which was fed
on corn, cotton seed meal, and wheat
straw were very seriously affected
after forty-two days feeding
some of the cattle dying and the others
going blind and refusing to eat. No
cause for this Is known as the animals
were only getting two and one-half
pounds OF cotton seed meal per head
daily at the time.
The following table will serve to
show the influence of supplementary
foods on the net profits per steer in
these tests:

Bluefield, W. Va, Aug. 29.-There is
