Cattle at OdeboIt. Iowa.

The Iowa Agricultural College is
carrying on some elaborate expert
mems in cattle feeding at the Brook
mont farm at Odebolt. Iowa The
farm furnishes the animals feed and
labor and builds yards, sheds, and
water tanks according to the plans
furnished by the experiment station.
The station determines the different
lines of feeding to be followed, di-
vides the cattle into suitable lots and
details a representative to take con
troll Of the work. At the completion of
the experiment, the data obtained is
taken by the experiment station for
publication and the animals are re-
turned to the control of the farm
which markets them. Five hundred
steers and five hundred hogs are now
being fattened on the farm in these
cooperative experiments. Three tests
are being made in fattenng steers. as
follows: Acclimatization test. light
and heavy ration test, supplementary
feeds test.
In the acclimatizatiOn test fifty
head of southern steers are fed in one
lot and fifty head of western steers
in a second lot. Each lot is fed all
the corn and wheat straw they will
eat. The object OF this experiment is
to determine from what section of the
country Iowa farmers will find it most
profitable to buy steers to be fat
tened
Three lots of fifty steers each are
fed in the light and heavy ration test.
All lots are fed all the wheat straw
they will eat. The maximum daily
ration of the first lot will be 1G lbs. of
corn per steer, of the second lot 20
lbs. of corn per steer, and OF the third
lot "a lbs. of corn per steer. The OBJ
ject is to determine whether light,
medium or heavy feeding of grain to
fattening steers will give the greatest
gains for feed consumed and the most
profit.
In the supplementary feeds test five
lots of fifty steers each are fed. All
lots are fed all the wheat straw they
will eat. For grain ration lot one is
fed corn alone, lot two corn and lin
seed meal, lot three corn and cotton
seed meal, lot four corn and Gluten
feed, and lot five corn and blood meal
the latter containing 81 per cent pro
tein.
The object of this test is to deter
mine the effect in fattening steers of
supplementing corn with a feed rich
in protein and also to test the in.
fluences in gains and quality of flesh
Of the different protein feeds. At the
close of the feeding the 500 head will
be shipped to Chicago and slaughter
test made with each lot by some lead.
ing packing house. In every lot one
hog is kept for each steer to test the
value of the droprings.

Milk Exposed to Fou, Odors.

Besides bad lamentations, there is
another cause Of poorly favored but
ter, says Oscar Err. This comes from
cream or milk having been exposed to
foul odors, which are absorbed and
given to the butter. The theory that
milk does not absorb odors when
warm and cooling has long been aban-
doned. Experiments show that milk
in that condition is even more suscep.
tible to odors than in any other state,
In the ripening process this odor can
be partly eliminated by aeration or by
pasteurization of the cream, but in
case of bad fermentation some an
tasonistic germ must be added in or
der to check the progress OF the un-
desirable one. This antagonistic fer
mentation is commonly known as a
starter. and If properly prepared con.
tains the right kind of flavor produc.

universal success. The clover is usu.
ally cut down in the evening, allowed
to wilt the next morning, and stored
in the NOV in the afternoon. This

after the ordinary process of curing
and places the hay in the very best
possible condition for future use
When this hay is taken out of the

that seems necessary is to keen the
NOV as tightly closed as possible for
a few ,days after the hay has been
stored in the barn, and until the heat
from the processes of fermentation
has disappeared. There have been
some cases of spontaneous combus.

the results of storing partially green
hay in stacks. rather than the green
hay directly from the field.

Grades of Cattle and Profit.

AT the University of Illinois are be
Ing fed six carloads of cattle for the
purpose of ascertaining what grade of
cattle will yield the most profit for
the operation of feeding These six
carloads consist of sixteen steers each.
They were purchased by Professor
Mumford, who was careful to select
steers for each lot that should be rep
resentative. The six grades were, the
fancy selected. choice, good, medium
common, inferior. Every load is fed
in paved lots of equal size provided
with the same kind and amount of
shelter and the same exposure. The
rations fed to each are of the same
kind and of the same amount to a
thousand pounds live weight of cat
tie, except in such instances as the
appetites of the cattle belonging to a
certain grade clearly show that they
are being overfed or underfed as com
pared with other grades of cattle used
in this test
committee of three expert buyers
of live stock visits the station at in
tervals of one month and fixes the
money value gain that each lot has
made per 100 pounds during the pre-
ceding month. These three men are

nttle examination OF these nSureS
shows that on the average steer OF
the fancy lot cost $3S.365 and was
worth on May 16, $S2.2S. gain in
valLe of $439l5. A steer of the in
feri3r lot cost $3236l and was worth
on May 16, $5S.65 gain in value of
$26.2S9. But this is figured on uni
forLi market, which is correct so far
as This experiment goes. But as a
mater of fact the market has de-
clinad, and the fancy grades have suf-
fered more than the inferior grades.
1t saems altogether likely that, owing
to this state of the market, the in
feritr grade will prove the most
prof table. But feeding experiments
canr.ot be adjusted to fluctuations of
the market. and much light is certain
to be shed abroad by this experiment
with carload lots.

School Notes.

Walter Reese, who has been in the
employ OF the N. p. railway during the
past year, has returned to school and is
now enrolled in room 10.
1t has been reported that the
measles have made their appearance
in the city, presumably, for the purpose
of attending school. If this report be
true, we wish to inform them that the
directors and teachers have ruled
against them by deciding that they,
the measles, are great disorganizers
and shall not attend school.
On Monday morning the students Of
the high school and rooms 9 and 10 had
the pleasure of listening to a very in
teresting and helpful talk by Rev.
Rowland. He emphasized very storng-
ly the fact that the business world is
seeking for men and woman of thorough
ness, and that this thoroughness must
begin in the schools.
Miss Ona Gilmour and Miss Clara
Denton were visitors in the high school
Tuesday.
The teachers are planning for pat
rons' day when all of the patrons will
be invited to attended school again,
not to study books, but to get acquaint-
ed with the teachers and methods used
by them in the instruction of their chill
dren, and also that the teachers may
understand or know their pupils better
by being acquainted with their parents.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

A bill providing a primary election
law which will restore to the people the
right to nominate cand dates for public
Office, right at present usurped by
the practical politicians OF both parties,
has been introduced into the legislature
by Mr.. Jones, Of King county. The
arguments for an adoption of the sys-
TEN are at least as strong as those
which were educed on behalf OF the
Australian ballot law when it was
brought up for discussion for the first
time in this country. No state which
! has adoped the Australian ballot law
would ever con sent to have the law
repealed and the old bad method of
voting by ballots prepared on the out
side substituted. The states in which
the primary election law has been adop
upon that subject. The Australian
ballot law had the distinction and the
credit of inviting the hostility OF all
machine politicians The proposed
primary law has the same distinction.
, This fact constitutes strong argument
in favor of both measures.
The nominating convention is the
stronghold of the political machine.
! The voice of the people is unheard in
such conventions, save in rare and ex-
! traordinary instances. Nominations
made in such conventions as a rule are
the result OF trades and combinations.
1t is easily possible for three or four
candidates for various offices, not one
Of whom would have been selected as
the nominee by the vote OF the rank
and file OF his party, by combining
forces to nominate each other for office.
This is done often enough to constitute
public scandal. The primary election
law simply does away with the mach
inery through which such combinations
trades "dickers" are now too readily
effected. 1t restores to the individual
voter the right to express personally
his individual opinion as to the proper
nominations to be made for each public
Office by the political party with which
he is affiliated. There is no oppor-
tunity for him to be misrepresented
through delegation of his powers in
this respect tOa representative in con-
vsntion who may or who may not be
guided by the wishes of his constituents
and who generally has some private
axes of his own to grind. The primary
election law is a means toward purj-
flying politics and doing away with that
political machine which is held together
by the cohesive force of public plum
der" 1t will not idealize politics to
have it pass but it certainly will i'm
J prove conditions 1t will at least bring
home to each man his proper share of
responsibility for the nomination of
candidates for office; and he cannot
slough that responsibility off upon the
machine. II the people want honest
and competent men elected to Office by
actual voice of the people not taking
chances of getting such men through
the favor of political machine or as
the result of more or less corrupt and
dirty "dickers' and ''deals" they can
secure this result shrough the primary
election law which has been introduced
in the legislature; providing, Of course,
they can persuade the legislators into
