good mules he needs, the average farmer and the
roor man cannot do so, but if they raised them
they would be likely to keep some of the best for
themselves.
We are frequently told that We can't raise good
mules. I don't know whether we can or not, and
neither do you; for we have never tried to-we
buy them! Certainly we can't raise good mules
unless we study the breeding and feeding prob
lens involved. and this few of us have ever done.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-08
DIFFERENT FEEDS FOR DIFFERENT STOCK

In feeding the first class of animals, we should
give an abundance of those foods which contain
a larger proportion of protein, or the "fesh form
ers," as they are sometimes called. In feeding the
second class, we need foods with a high propor-
ton of the fat and heat and energy-formine
elements.
The question, therefore, at once arises, can we
divide our food-stufs into these two classes?
Roughly speaking, we can. Of course, all food
stutts contain some of both classes of materials
but the proportions of these two kinds of ma
terlals vary sufficiently to enable us to put most
OF our foods into one or the other of these two
classes. For instance, the foods at orr com-
mand which are rich in the materials necessary
Tor growth and the production of milk. eggs and
wool, are cottonseed meal, wheat bran neas
thrashed oats, pea-vine, clover and other lepnmi-
nous hays; while the foods rich in the heat and
energy-torming elements are corn. rice nol;sb
rice bran and corn fodder and the grass HAYS.
Let us now consider the manner in which oun
work stock IS usually fed, and see if the lack of
a knowledge of even these simple facts reoa rd;no
the feeding question does not result in great
waste OF food and serious injury to our animals

GROWING q q MULES.

I don't believe there is anything in the climate
that prevents mules growing as large here as they
do farther north, but let me tell you what I
think is the reason we don't grow good mules:
We stunt their mothers and their g~randmothers,
and after the mules are born we stunt them be-
cause we have never studied the feeding problems
sufficiently to know the kinds of food necessary
to make growth and produce good large mules.
The mule cannot make a good big body unless he
has had the necessary materials, in sufficient
quantities, of which a mules body is composed.
/ am not going into a discussion of the chemical
composition of foods, but let me state right here
that it is just as important that we become ia
miliar with the terms protein, carbohydrates and
hydrocarbons, and understand the part each
plays in feeding, as it is to know the work per-
formed by nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
in our fertilizers.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-08
FEEDING ECONOMICALLY

Why are we not interested in the best use of
the 100000 900 worth of farm products which
we annually feed to our live stock? This is a
large amount, and not only are the wastes through
incorrect use great, but on the best use of these
food stuffs depends largely the efficiency of our
farm work stock, and consequently the profits
from our farming. Let me explain that if we
want an animal to ROW a large body we must
feed him foods containing the proper proportions
OF the materials out OF Which his body is made.
In other words, we feed animals for different
purposes, and consequently we should give them
different foods, or in different proportions. In a
general way the kinds of work which animals do,
or the purposes for which they are fed, may be
divided into two classes. In one we may put
growing animals and those fed for the production
of milk, eggs and wool. In the other class may
be put f~attening animals, mature animals doing
no work and those doing light work.

other he strangled. One he threw into a
swamp and the other he buried. Men who
have been implicated in his crimes, he de-
clares, are now living peacefully in differ
ent parts of the world, and he will not
tell who they are.
In Boston, while engaged in a fight,
Burmese shot a teamster, whose name he
has forgotte-, because the man tried to
act as peacen.aker. While on board the
Rebecca G. Moulton he shot the mate and
an Italian, but the latter recovered. He
also killed two Cinnamon who were locked
in cell with him during one of his periods
of incarceration. He killed a Frenchman
in Paris for interfering between himself
and woman. He killed mulatto named
Baker on a freight train by hitting HIM
over the head with block of wood.
Burmese says he remembers neither the
names of some of his victims nor the
dates when they were killed. He declares
that the only man he did not kill in self
defense was Captain Townsend, whom he
put out of the way because he beat him
out of So.
Burmese lays all his crimes to drink,
which he said made a demon of him and
caused him to seek trouble. In addition
to the nine men he admits having muir
dered, he acknowledges manning and
wounding a score of others for trivial
matters. He has spent Is years in tails
and penitentiaries, and says he goes to
the electric chair just as willingly as he
would go to square meal.

IMPROVEMENTS
FORsSMELTER

Work on the Improvement at the Ia
coma smeltes. Epsisting of a lead refining
plant and tire story brick bag house,
llOx60 feet, is Progressing rapidly. The
bag house" one Of the. largest of its kind,
will result m great saving to the smelter.
The building itself is completed and the
apparatus is beng installed in it. 1t in
cludes 1000 bags, each rs feet in length
by feet in diameter, which are suspended
top downward SO, that the smoke which
is passed through the bag house and
consequently through the bags will leave
the mineral deposit which now passes off
into the air. This adjunct to the smelter
will be in operation by next March.
The new steel blast furnace. which will
make the fourth lead furnace, is nearly
completed and will be fired up in about
ten days. Its capacity will be about 200
tons daily. The cost of the furnace is
estimated at 10000, that of the bag house
$4,000. By these additions the capacity
of the smelter will be materially in
creased. The new blast furnace will near
ly double the capacity of the lead plant
The total capacity, with the improvements,
will be about 300 tons of copper and 500
tons of lead daily.

Mill men TO

VIII cut wages 10 per cent.
1t Is claimed by some mill men fa-
lnlllar with the affairs of the industry in
tins state that there are many mills where
TINS reduction will not affect the wages of
the men. These mills, it is contended.
have heretofore paid about the scale that
the single manufacturers will attempt to
make general in February.
Only recently have mill men learned the
differences between wage scales now being
paid in this state, Most of the mills, it is
insisted, are now paying ~ cents per
l,OOO to single weavers and 10 cents to
knot sawyers. When the movement to-
ward retrenchment was started these
mills were surprised to learn that many
employers paid less than themselves.
There has been no agreement among the
manufacturers to act as an organization
to enforce the new wage scale, but all
Of them who have been requested to do
so have agreed to stand by the new rates

off in the demand for shingles is RESPONSE

adjustment. During the past few months
mill owners have found the price of logs
constantly advancing, wages being main
tanned at a high rate and the price of
shingles, together with the demand for the
output, showing continued decline. 1t is
insisted that the mills have made little
or no money during recent weeks, and
the decision to readjust conditions was
reached with the idea of protection.

BURGLARY ON
PACIFIC Ave.

Burglars broke into the New Comique
saloon, 8l5 Pacific avenue, early this
morning and stole $3l9O The money
had been placed for safe-keeping in a
cigar box under the counter The thief or
thieves evidently knew of the barkeeper's
custom to put the proceeds of the nights
business in the box under the bar when
he locked up at about o'clock. During
the latter part of the evening there was
an unusually rough crowd in the saloon,
and it is suspected that one of these men
watched the place until he learned of the
disposition of the cash.
Entrance to the saloon was gained by
prying the front door open. Pacific ave
nue. near the saloon is poorly lighted
and the work of prying open the front
door could have been done with little fear
of detection.

An information charging Krug with en-

he was paroled and later pardoned. For
some time he had been in the saloon bust
