Soft Corn Gives Good Results.

From The Farmers Review: .,uring
the past year there has been much diff.
ference Of opinion among stockmen
concerning the feeding value of soft
corn caused by the early September
frost of 1902. Early last October
Professors Kennedy and Holden of
the Iowa Agricultural College issued
a report showing the chemical analy.
sis of soft corn and discussing the
feeding value of the same They claim
ed that on dry matter basis it was
equal to mature corn for feeding pur-
poses. On account of the large
amount Of moisture present more
would have to be fed to get good re-
suits. At that time the Animal In.
dustry department commenced a prac-
tical feeding experiment to test the
same. Sixteen steers of uniform breed
ing and quality were divided into two
lots of eight each. One was fed on
mature corn grown in 1900, and the
other on the soft corn of 1902. These
steers were fed six months and mar
keted on April 10th in Chicago. Each
SoiN
could not see any difference, thus
they both brought the same price,
$5.25 per hundred. within Is cents of
the top of dull, slow market. The
results of the slaughter test showed
the soft corn lot to kill out COS per
cent dressed meat. The mature corn
lot 60 per cent dressed meat. The
gains made by the lots were practical
ly the same and the number of pounds
OF corn required to produce one pound
OF gain was almost the same, being
slightly in favor of the mature corn
Valueiug the mature corn at 55 cents
per bushel and the soft corn at 20
cents per bushel, there was a differ.
ence Of almost 3 cents per pound in
the cost Of producing one pound of
gain in favor of the cattle fed on soft
corn. Full details of this experiment
will be issued in bulletin form at an
early date-W. }. Kennedy, Iowa Az

At that moment Neil and Hyde were
on the fatal spot.

At that moment Neil and Hyde were
on the fatal spot.
Neil flung off his coat and wastcoat
and stood with barred breast on the
spot his second indicated. Hyde re
moved his fine scarlet coat and hand
ed it to Capt. Earle, and would then
have taken his sword; but Beekmau
advanced to remove also his waist
coat. The suspicion implied by this
act reused the soldiers indignation
and with his own hands he tore of
the richly embroidered satin garment
and by so doing exposed what perhaps
some delicate feeling had made him
wish to conceal-a bow of orange rib
bon which he were above his heart.
The sight of it to Neil was like oil
flung upon flame. He could scarcely
restrain himself until the word go"
gave him license to charge Hyde.
Hyde was an excellent swordsmau
and had fought several duels; but be
was quite disconnected by the deadly
reality of Neil's attack. In the sec
ond thrust his foot got entangled in
tuft of grass, and, in evading a
lunge aimed at his heart, he fell on
his right side. Supporting himself.
however, on his sword hand. he
sprang backwards with great dexter
ity, and thus escaped the probable
death-blow. But, as he was bleeding
from wound in the throat, his sec
ond interfered and proposed a recon
ciliation. Neil angrily refused to lis
ten. He declared 'he had not come
to enact farce" and then, happen
ing to glance at the ribbon on Hydes
breast, he swore furiously He would
make his way through the body of
any man who stood between him and
his just anger"
Up to this point there had been in
Hyde's mind latent disincination to
slay Neil. After it, he flung away
every kind of memory, and the fight
was renewed with an almost brutal
impetuosity, until there ensued one of
those close locks which it was evi-
dent nothing but the key of the body
could OPEN" In the trightful wrench
which followed, the swords of both
men sprang from their hands, fiying
some four or five yards upward with
the force. Both recovered their weap-
ons at the same time, and both, bleed
ing and exhausted, would have again
renewed the fight; but at that mo-
ment Van Heemskirk and Semple with
their attendants, reached the spot.
Without hesitation, they threw
themselves between the young men.
But there was no need for words. Neil
fell senseless upon his sword, making
in his fall last desperate effort to
reach the ribbon on Hyde's breast; for
Hyde had also dropped fainting to the
ground, bleeding from at least half
dozen wounds. Then one of Semple's
young men, who had probably OWNED
the cause of quarrel, and who felt
sympathy for mis- young master, made
as If he would pick up the fatal bit of
orange satin, now dyed crimson in
Hydes blood.
But Joris pushed the ritlng hand
fiercely away. ITO touch it would be
the vilest theft" he said. His own
it is. With his life he has bought it,"
