Notes on Cattle Feeding.

=
In talk before the Illinois farmers
institute Prof. Herbert w. Mumford
made the following points ON cattle
feeding:
The higher the price of cattle the
better it will pay to feed steers of high
quality. When steers are low in price
there is less difference in the profits
from feeding the different qualities of
steers.
A prime steer, according to the mar
ket term, is a steer that is neither too
fat nor too pool. When steer is
overdone he gets luupy. The breed
that will fatten and Lot get lumpy is
the best breed.
The Angus breed will feel longer
and keep smoother than any other
breed of cattle. Each breed ias some
good point that the other breeds do
not have. AT the present time the
annual that is most profitable for the
packer Is not always the one that Is
most profitable for the feeder. The
feeder should strive to produce an ami
NAL that will be both profitable TO
himself and for the packer. That is
the standard toward which We must
work.
Packers are not infallible In buying
cattle. Their buyers know more about
it than most of us, but they sometimes
make serious mistakes. Several loads
of steers fatened by the University of
Illinois sold on the Chicago market ON
the same day. The best cattle were
those that had been fitted on clover
hay and gluten feed as their principal
ration. This load sold for less than
the ones fed on corn, timothy hay and
so forth. In the dressing it was seen
that the clover fed steers were worth
25 cents more per hundred pounds
than the other steers, while they
brought Is cents per hundred pounds
less.
II ration is palatable it's efficiency
depends on the relative proportion of
protein and carbohydrates in it, Cot
tOhoScu Lu6dl COutdluS q larger amount
OF protein than any OF the other con-
centrated feeding stuffs. 1t averages
37.2 per cent protein.
1t is cheaper to feed a balanced ra-
ton than any other kind. The univer.
sity has found that it could save sew
eral dollars on the feeding of each
steer by feeding a balanced ration.
What grade of cattle can we feed
with the greatest profit to the feeder?
This is a question that cannot be an
swered in one year. We want to know
in what way we can get the most re-
suits from 100 pounds of feed.
The higher the price of good steers
the greater the difference between the
prices paid for the different grades.
Under that condition the higher the
quality of steers fed the more profit
| there will be in them.

REPEAT MAIL POUCH ROBBERY
Thieves steal Two More Sacks from
Springfield Junction Be
tween Trains.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 11.-Early this
morning word was received at the postofice
that two more letter pouches had been
stolen from Springfield junction. Just south
OF this city, at the Junction Of the Chicago
G. Alton and Wabash railroads.
This is the second theft OF this character
at the junction within three weeks, two
pouches having been stolen on March IL
and ri1ed of their contents, and the post
office authorities have as yet been unable
to obtain clew to the thieves. AS In the
former case, the pouches were thrown from
the eastbound Wabash train at 10 tonight
to be placed on the Chicago G. Alton train
which goes north at 1915. When the
Alton train arrived It was found that two Of
the pouches were missing.
Towerman Mitchell Driscoll, who, on the
occasion of the first robbery, left the
pouches out on the platform between trains
instead Of locking them up in the office
locked the pouches up tonight, but the
robbers broke the bars and windows anC
effected an entrance. Driscoll, who was II
the tower nifty feet above, did not heal
them.

American Occupation
Of the Island.

MANILA, April 10.-Captain Pershing's
force captured Bacolod. island Of M~indanao,
Wednesday, killed 100 Moros and wounded
many others. Three Americans were
wounded.
Pershing's force consisted Of shaw's bat
talon Of the Twenty-frst infantry, Kill
patrick's troop Of the Fifteenth cavalry and
McMain's battery.
Pershing was surveying the west shore
lands when the Bacolodians opposed his ad-
vance and provoked the fight. Pershing's
force surrounded and attacked their strong
hold, FIRST Smelling them, and, rushing his
troops forward, charged calamity.
After crossing a deep moat and entering
the fort the Americans engaged the Moros,
bayonets against krlsses. A hundred OF the
defenders were killed, including the datto
Of Panandungan, and many were wounded.
Only three Americans we're wounded. After
the capture OF the fort it was destroyed.
The Bacolod leaders and the majority of
the people Of that district had been hostile
to the Americans and encouraged attacks
on American camps. They rejected the
tenders Of friendship. 1t is expected that
the defeat Of the Bacolodians will result in
all the Moros acknowledging American SOW
ereignty.
Pershing's column is going to Harahue,
which is also hostile.

FLOOD COSTS BIG FORTUNE
Nearly Two Thousand DOL

Broken HymeIia Levee.

NEW ORLEANS, April 1O.--A force Of
$50 men is. at Hymelia crevasse today sack
ing the wings Of the c~ribbing and attempt
ing to make secure the broken ends, but no
further attempt was made to close the
break.
If the wings last there Is no fear tina
the crevasse In the levee will enlarge. 1t
is v%ariously estimated that between 500, 600
and 5000 900 has been sunk in the work at
Hymelia. The Texas & Pacific will be
forced to use the Southern Pacific rails for
its through trafic until the water recedes.
Arrangements are again being made for
back levees to keep the water from the
west bank Of the river at Algiers and

The river here today dropped to 1913 a
fall OF tw~o-tenths, or four-tenths lower
than the maximum this year. The decline
Is thought to be in part due to the re-

How long the time seemed as he waited
while the multitude poured out and sepa-
rated into hundreds of groups upon the
sidewalk He watched the lines of faces
as they appeared at the head of the steps,
coming from the comparative shade within.
At lasti She still held her lily. She cast a
quick glance around as she stood on the
topmost step. Then she descended, followed
by her aunt and two cousins. His heart
beat rapidly as he elbowed his way through
the throng that he might appear at her side
as IL brought there by chance.
He raised his hat to her aunt and cousins.
She herself dropped her eyes and bowed
rather stifiy when she saw him.
He adroitly managed to keep by her side
as the group moved up the sidewalk. The
aunt and the cousins fell behind.
Yet he could find little to say upon the
homeward walk. She was inclined to be
fippant and inattentive in her share Of the
conversation.
When they reached her house she allowed
her aunt and cousins to precede her up the
steps. Then she tarried for a second.
"Goodby," she said, standing upon the
second step.
"GOOdby," he answered. but FIRST 1

She looked into his eyes a moment; then
hastily thrust the lily into his outstretched
hand and tripped up the steps. Within the
doorway she turned and kissed her hand to
him.
In the evening, when the church bells
again we're ringing and the hum of people
walking came up from the street below, he
stood before the mirror in his chamber and
contemplated a long-dead lily, a mere
mummy OF a lily in the Greeian vase beside
II. Presently he took the shriveled flower
from the vase and placed It In the furthest
corner Of a dressing case drawer. And thus
an old love was changed into q memory, and
he uttered q sigh.
But a moment later he hummed a tune az
he put In the vase, in the place OF the old
dead flower, an Easter lily that was still
