Corr for the SiIo.

Corn should be put into the silo when
it is almost ready to cut and can be
put in at the time it is ripe enough to
cut with good results Formerly it was
thought best to cut corn when rather
green for silage, but later practice leans
toward the stage of ripeness-just be-
fore it begins to dry out and the stalks
become Vocabulary and Creamery.

Trim the Hogs, Hoofs.

Hoofs of old hogs frequently need
trimming. If they become too long,
filth is fable to accumulate. and the
animal is not able to stand up straight
on it's feet. If is very easy to trim
the hogs hoofs, and the herd should
be inspected every six months or SO.

e rn Fodder aud HAY.

1t is difficult TO make proper COM
parison between corn fodder and hay,
because the quality of either largely
depends upon the curing. Bright
green corn fodder. shredded or cut
fine. Is superior to improperly cured
hay. while good hay is far superior to
corn fodder that was not cut down
until the leaves turned yellow. If fod-
der is tender and juicy the animals
will prefer the stalks to the leaves. as
the stalks are rich in sugar. but much
depends upon the stage Of growth at
which the stalks were harvested

Many cities are facing a coal famine.
Chicago's limited supply of hard coal
is, for the most part, III the hands of the
small dealers. who have taken it with
their own teams from ships in the har-
Dor. The dealers are demanding prices.
Detroit is living from hand TO mouth as
regards its supply of hard coal. For four
months, during which time Milwaukee
usually received an average of 100000
tons of hard coal, not a pound came by
lake, while in the month just closed the
receipts were only 22,601 tons. as COM
pared with 15S,245 tons in the CORE

There is no anthracite coal in Duluth

ors for sale is about 25,000 tons. St.
Paul coal dealers estimate the supply of
hard coal on hand at 10000 tons
enough to last a month. Cincinnati has
on hand about two million bushels If BIZ

Bring Suit Against District.

Mary Mckenna, widow Of Joseph Nc
Kenna, who was found drowned recently
in the James Creek canal near the NJ street
bridge, has filed in the Provate Court a
petition asking that letters of administra-
ton upon the estate Of the deceased be
granted to her eldest son, John McKenna
Justice Barnard. after taking the matter

pointing the son mentioned administrator
1t is the stated intention of the admins
traitor to at once file suit against the Dis
trict to recover damages for the death Of
his father. The McKenna family live in
Baltimore, and with the exception of one
son the father was its main support.
1t was over the body Of Joseph McKenna
that Coroner Glazebrook held the inquest
at the morgue as a result of which the
jury in its verdict. recommended that the
James Creek canal should be arched over
and that until this arch could be built the
canal be inclosed with a suitable fence
This verdict was forwarded to the District
committees Of Congress by the Commits
sioners, who asked that an appropriation of
$1,000 be allowed them for the purpose Of
fencing in the canal until 1t could be
arched over. AS yet nothing in this way
has been done.
AS stated. the son Of Joseph McKenna in
tends to claim damages from the District
for the death of his father by drowning,
which he claims resulted from the negli-
gence Of the District authorities. The fami-
ly Is represented by Attorney Jesse E. Pot

BEEF TRUST INQUIRY
Interesting Facts Developed
at Jefferson City.
BUTCHERS TESTIFY
TELL HOW PRICES ARE FIXED
AND MAINTAINED.
Retail Beef Higher Than the Cost of
Cattle on Hoof
JuStifies.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. May 1.-THE
existence in st. Louis of uniform and fixed
meat prices and the secret rebate in addi-
ton to the C. o. d. list was shown by tes-
timony taken at this mornings session of
the beef trust inquiry.
Attorney General Crow said today that
the objections raised by the packers at
torneys at Tuesdays session Of the beef
trust inquiry does not pertain to the validi-
ty Of the antitrust law, but only to the
law authorizing the inquiry.
Maurice Prendiviile. a st. Louis Union
Market meat dealer, was the first witness
examined today. Prendiville testified that
Armour, Swift, Nelson Morris and Cudahy
had a fixed agreement regarding prices
THE packers buy cattle on successive
days" said he. $50 that each can buy at
his own price. There is very little inde-
pendent buying in the East st. Louis stock
yards. The big packers keep others out by
telling the cattlemen that if they sell any
cattle to the Independent buyers they must
sell all to them.
"A better grade Of cattle is sent east than
that sold in St. Louis The ordinary retail
butchers cannot get high-class beef. The
best beef is sold to butchers at IL cents on
the carcass"
Formerly Got Rebates.
Did you ever get rebate?" was asked
of Prendiville
-Four or five months ago I got rebates
on pork from Nelson Morris. At one time
the cooler managers told me that they had
an agreement not to sell at less than SO
per hundred They would evade the agree
ment by selling some cents lower.
rs there arbitrator in St. Louis!
asked Attorney General Crow.
1.-The cooler managers meet every We'd
nesday afternoon and form a C. o. d. list,
and Saturday they hold another meet
ing L do not know who fixes prices for
them, but they are fixed the last of each
week for the week following.
When man does not sell his cattle In
East st. Louis continued the witness,
"and ships them elsewhere the packers
send a dispatch ahead of him, instructing
the buyers to offer only so much. Meat this
year is much inferior to that sold last year.
The number of cattle sold and killed in
East St. Louis this season has been un-
usually large. Most of the meat has been
placed in storage"
William Tamme Testifies.
William Tamme of St. Louis, formerly
city salesman for Swift, testified to a uni
form price at which statesmen of all COM
panies were instructed to sell. Attorney
Ernst c. Dodge has charge of the C. o. d..
list, which is made up every week, the wit
ness declared.
Tamme said that the increased price of
meat was out Of proportion to the increase
in the price of cattle. He said 100 butchers
in St. Louis had gone out of business and
that the Mound City Packing Company and
the North st. Louis Packing Company had
also retired.
A recess was taken until l 30 pm, when
the final session will be held.
