.CAT|LE FEEDING TEST
Mammoth Experiment to Be
Conducted on Cook Farms,
Odebolt, Iowa

The First is an Acclamaton Test
to Determine the Climatic Influen-
ees, if Any, on Southern Cattle,
When Brought to Northern States as
Feeders-The Other Experiments.
WILL MAKE THREE TRIALS
pecial TO Times Republican.

| Special TO Times Republican.
Kennedy, head of the Animal Illus
bandry department of the Iowa Agri-
lcultural College. has completed final
arrangements for the mammoth cattle
feeding experiments to be conducted on
the Cook farms, Odebolt, Iowa. The
cattle have been carefully selected and
divided by Professors Kennedy and
Marshall into ten lots of fifty animals
each.
Three distinct experiments are being
conducted. The first is an acclimation
test to determine the climatic iniiu-
|ences, if any. on southern cattle when
brought to the northern states as feed
ers. For this purpose fifty head of
southern cattle from Oklahoma and
Indian Territory are being fed on eX-
tctly the same kind of "a ration and
under similar environments as another
lot of fifty head OF western cattle from
Colorado and the sand hills. Exact
data will be kept of all the feed eaten
by each of the lots. gains made, and
a careful comparison Of the results
will be made at the conclusion of the
test.
The second experiment contains three
lots of fifty head each to be fed on diff
ferent amounts of grain. The light ra-
ton lot not to be fed over 16 pounds of
grain per day per steer when on full
feed, the medium ration lot not to ex-
coed 90 pounds, and the heavy ration
lot "a pounds of grain per day per
steer when on full feed. AT the con-
clusion of the test the relative cost of
feed per 100 pounds gain, average daily
gain. and other interesting data will
be deducted.
The third experiment contains five
lots of fifty head each. This test will
be q continuation of the work com
menced last year. except that none of
the lots will be fed any stock food as
the manufacturers of the same would
not enter this years test on the same
ground that they did last year and
those complied with by the manufac-
turers of the other foods which are
being fed this year. Lot one will be
fed corn and roughage. Lot two, corn,
old process oil meal and roughage.
Lot three, corn, cottonseed meal and
roughage. Lot four, corn, Buffalo
Gluten feed and roughage. Lot five,
corn, dried blood and roughage..
Each lot of steers will be followed
by thrifty bunch of shoats.
The feeding is being done by Newton
#C. Rev, graduate of the college. Full
details and results of the work will
be published in bulletin work at the
conclusion of the test.

LIBRARY MI SSING.

Another public library has gone a
glfmmering. 1t would seem that Ma
Mia was we'll provided with libraries
up to August IS, 1890 Since that time
they have not been in evidence nor does
there seem to be any effort to run them
down. The latest development in the
way of lost libraries and museums is
the valuable collection of botanical
works which formed the Botanical
Garden library. This library cost
about 1000 pesos and contained one set
that cost 500 a book which was con-
sidered most valuable. The library
has completely disappeared.
Regime Garcia, at present an en-
ploye of the forestry bureau, was in
charge of the library previous to Amer
lean occupation and he claims that
when the military took charge of the
city, he turned the volumes over to
the forestry bureau, or the depart
ment which it represented at that
time He has no receipt for the col
lection. and there is no officer connect
ed with the bureau who has any
knowledge of it's transfer to that de-
partment.
General Vidal, whose statue graces
the Botanical Garden grounds appears
to have been the first Spanish botanist
who took an active part in that study
of plant in the archipelago He used
his influence to establish the present
botanical gardens and made many ex-
tensive additions to the original plans.
By his research throughout the is
lands he added many valuable speci-
mems to the collections already Sc
cured for the garden. Besides he was
responsible for the selection of many
volumes of the latest works on botany
which were made the nucleus of the
valuable library which has so mysteri-
ously disappeared.
At the present time there is no pub
lie lfbary of reference and the officials
of the forestry bureau are obliged to
make use of the only private library
of any moment now in the archipelago
which is the property of Senior Garcia.

Wall street has undergone pretty
thorough test, says a stock market
writer. Many weak spots have been
eliminated by forced liquidation; stocks
have passed from weak into strong
hands, and thus the whole speculative
situation has been much clarified by
an unwelcome but necessary house
cleaning process. The market is by
no means free from uncertainties, for
weak spots still remain; but there is no
reason now for the destructive distrust
which was undermining the whole
financial fabric before the turn came.
Very likely important Developments
will follow recent operations. Control
of some properties has undoubtedly
changed hands, which may result in
facilitating some of the larger deals
that big f1nanciers are known to have
contemplated. How far these plans
may have been factor in the conduct
of the late bear campaign will never
be known, but it is fair to credit its
managers with sufficient shrewdness to
take all fair advantage of technical
conditions.

CHESTNUT"
How the Word Came to be Used as
Slang

How the Word Came to be Used as
Slang.
The use Of the word chestnut as
typifying an old story may be traced
to Edwin A. Abbey, the celebrated ar
fist who is painting the picture Of the
coronation Of King Edward VII at the
kings command.
Mr. Abbey is an American and was
born in Philadelphia and educated in
that city. Later on he Joined prom
inent club. the members of which
prided themselves on their ability to
tell smart and witty anecdotes. The
artist was fond Of a joke and was in
the habit of always purposely telling
the same yarn.
1t was a pointless yarn about a
man who had a chestnut farm and
who never made any money because
he could not resist the temptation to
give the crop away.
Mr. Abbey always began this story
in different way, but would gradual
ly lead up to it, until his hearers would
recognize it and cry 'Chestnuts.'
And in that way the word gradually
assumed its slang significance, and is
now used to brand story as old
wherever the English language is
spoken.--Boston Post.
