ENs,LAcE FOOD FOR STEERS.

At one of the experimental stations
of the south there has recently been
completed some experiments In feed1ng
ensilage and dry fodder to steers. the
results speak volumes in favor Oh
feeding succulent stuff to stock rather
than dry fodder. The experiments at
the station referred to are summed up
as follows:
1. Fifteen cattle fed on dry rations for
12O days made an average gain OF LII
pounds Fifteen cattle fed on succulent ra-
tions for the same time, with the same con-
centrates made a an reee9ng gam
ration, therefore, gained 1ol POUNDS more
than the dry-fed cattle.
g. Slower is not as satisfactory rough
ness as silage The stover-fed cattle con-
sumed 6.O2 pounds of concentrates and the
silage fed cattle 4.52 pounds of concentrates
per pound of gain. A pound OF gam WIN
stover-fed cattle cost 81 cents at high prices
and ACT cents a flow prices, whereas, with
silage-fed cattle a pound of gain under the
same conditions cost 5.S2 and 4'o1 Genus
respectively.
8. The average slaughter test of the dry
fed cattle was 55.4 per cent and OF the sue
culent-fed cattle 56.4 per cent. The weight
of good meat in the carcass of the dry-fed
cattle was 1888 pounds-a difference OF OF
pounds of salable meat in favor OF the
succulent-fed cattle.
According to the above results there
is considerable advantage when fat
tening steers are fed succulent food,
such as ensilage, compared with the
use of dry fodder. While one expert
ment cannot be taken as being con-
elusive in matters of this kind, yet If
it is properly conducted it carries with
it more or less weight. There is no
question but what preserving fodder
in the form of ensilage will make 1t
go farther than if it is kept in any
other form. Where one is in posi-
ton to handle it in this way he is to
large extent fortified against the
disasters of either a wet or dry
season.

At the meeting of the Yakima Hortl-
cultural Union last week, the princi-
pal question discussed was the matter
of express rates on fruit. The con-
sensus of opinion was that the rates
are entirely too high, in fact exorDl-
tant, other things taken into consider
alton. The rate on apples, for In
stance, to Seattle is now rs cents per
hundred weight, while for all other
fruits the rate is 10 cents higher. A
few years ago the rate was but 5O
and 60 cents. Naturally the fruit
growers think they are getting the
worst of it on express rates and 1t
was resolved to make an effort to Sc
cure a better rate. With this object
in view, Edward Remy, ]. j. Pitner
and w. l.. Wright were appointed as
a committee to take the matter up
with the N. P. express company.
The following were named as a COM
mittee representing the Union to ar
range for the holding of farmers in
stitute to be held in this city some
time in January: W. l.. Wright, L.
w. Clark, J. M. Brown, Edward Remy,
A. F. Smelling and H. M. Richards.
1t was decided before adjournment
that good sized delegation should
go from there to Spokane in February
to attend the annual meeting OF the
Inland Empire Horticultural Union.
1t is desired to so amend the bylaws
of that organization that the Union
can meet if it chooses at other points
in the state as well as Spokane.

to buy the few remaining choice lots
for even 25c.
AS stated in another item, stock
in growers hands in Oregon has been
reduced to 5000 bales. The market
is very firm and growers feel equally
confident with those in Washington OF
a still further advance in value. The
stock in California is practically ex-
hausted and the same applies to New
York.

is all for the domestic market; the
English market being dull, with de-
Ginning tendency.

The conclusion is inevitable that
the state land commissioner had per-
sonal reasons for entering into the
deal with the Washington Irrigation
Company which he knows well enough
was the first step in the company's
game of securing control of the reser-
voir sites at the head OF the river. IL
he had been acting merely as the I'M
biased agent of the state he never
would have made contract with the
company such as he has made; he
never would have given out the ap-
surd statement that the company Will
irrigate the state lands with water 1t
already controls; he never would have
asserted that the opposition to the
deal he has made comes merely from
SPECTATORS who want to secure con-
troll of the water supply, nor sought
officially to convince the department
at Washington that it was so. II he
had had nothing in mind but to secure
water for the Carey lands he would
have at least made his plans public,
and would have given others chance
to make the contract he made with
the Washington Irrigation Company.
From the standpoint of Yakima and
Kittitas county people there is no ex-
cuse for the commissioners action in
this matter. He is either corrupt, or
he is playing favorites, or else he Is
entirely incompetent to be entrusted
with any responsibility in connection
with a matter so important as this
He has not advanced a single valid
reason why this deal should have been
made, or why he entered into 1t, and
he cannot do so.-Yakima Republic.

ANOTHER SIL0 SUCCESS
BY H. L. Blanchard.

After a few years spent in discus
sion as to the advisability of building
a silo, d. S. Troy, manager of the
Glendale dairy farm, situated at Chi
macum, this state, concluded during
the summer of 1903 to construct $50
ton stave silo. This silo was COM
pleted just in time for the crop of
peas and oats that had been planted
for the purpose. Immediately upon
such completion a No. 16 Ohio ensi-
lage cutter and blower was purchased
and placed in position alongside OF the
silo, using the threshing machine en-
CINE for power. The silo was then
nearly filled with this crop of peas and
oats, when, owing to pressure OF other
work, it was allowed to stand for
about week, when filling was re-
sumed for day or two, then another
interruption of few days occurred.
Filling was again resumed until the
work was completed, when a few
inches of material of no feeding value
was cut and spread over the surface
and well wet down.
This silo was Sc feet high and 20
feet in diameter. The oats, when cut,
were not yet in the milk and the peas
were forming in the pod. A fine spray
of water was turned upon the material
as it was being put into the sllo. This
filling occurred mostly in the month Oh
September. At this time the dairy
herd was being fed literally on roots
for the succulent feature OF the ration,
which was continued until about De-
cember LIST, when the supply OF roots
for the COWS, 100 in number in one
stable. became exhausted. Then the
silo was opened and the feeding OF
silage begun as substitute Tor the
roots-about 25 pounds to the cow. AT
first the cows, or many OF them, &C
cepted the change in their ration with
some hesitancy. By sprinkling little
meal over the silage for several FEEDS
they became fond of the silage. AT
first upon changing to silage there
was a falling off in the flow OF mllh'
but as the COWS began to relish the
silage the lost flow returned.
A few days since Mr.. Troy invited
the writer to visit the Silo and exam
inc the results. We found the silage
to be perfectly sound across the en-
tire surface and close TO the Walls
no losses whatever. Mr.. Troy IN
formed us that at the points OF inter
ruption above referred to there was
loss of few inches in each case, CON
clusively showing that 1t is better tnat
the filing should be continuous, at any
rate that the interruption should not
exceed a day or two in length. NO
pains or expense was spared In max
ing this silo air tight, and the results
have made Mr.. Troy silo enthusiast.

HAD A GOOD SEASON.

The cannery of the Columbia River
Canning Company at Vancouver,
Wash, a few days ago closed down
for the season, after continuous
run for the past eight months. The
entire output has been sold.
President Arnold is enthusiastic
over the success attending his effort
at canning fruits and berries in his
section. Mr.. Arnold has supplied the
farmers of that section with thousands
of blackberry and currant cuttings,
and expects next season to be able
to can several thousand cases of these
fruits.

HOP MARKET FIRM.

The hop market on Puget Sound
and down toward Oregon has been
very strong during the past two or
three weeks. 1t has at last reached
the price for which growers claimed
they were holding-25c. Hops have
been moving out of growers hands
steadily and there now remain in first
hands in Western Washington 600
bales, in Yakima 1000. These lots
are in the possession of tenacious hold
ers, and the recent market advance
has encouraged them to hold for even
higher prices, so that it is impossible

The average yield of wheat through

Hay cut from either timothy or wheat
averages from three to five tons to

are now somewhat diversified. Be-
sides raising grain, many ranchers

MT. Burke's Fast Special.

Modern railroading and the kindness of the officials of the Alabama Great South ern and the Southern enabled F. J. Burke, commercial agent for the Mobile and Ohio at Meridian. to reach the bed side of his dying daughter at Jackson vile, Ala, many hours before he could have reached there by regular trains.
 MT. Burke passed through here Thurs day on a special car of the Mobile and Ohio, having come from Meridian on a special train over the Alabama Great Southern tracks. The Southern officials reld the regular train out of Birmingham for more than an hour in order that his car might be coupled to It.
 Thursday about noon MT. Burke re- ceived telegram from his wife stating that their baby girl was i'll. At 12:50 o'clock a special left Meridian bearing the father and the family physician. The special made record time to Tuscaloosa, hut from there into Birmingham the time was slower.
 As yet no message has been received telling of the childs condition.

OBSERVATIONS ON
 PIG IRON MARKET
ROGERS, BROWN & CO. PRESENT COMPARATIVE TABLE OF PRICES SHOWING HOW THE MARKET ADVANCED IN 1eo1-o2.

Rogers, Brown 6 Co.'s Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date says;
 Another interesting week sees the con ditions of an advancing market empha- sized. Those who looked for signs of weakness or top-heaviness have been disappointed, as the strength of the sltua- ton seems to develop.
 Now that we have passed the presiden- tial election, which always holds more or less of uncertainty for the commercial world, and the country has registered 4 ringing endorsement of the men and measures of the last three years, there is no reason why the market conditions should not hold the position they have now attained, if not repeating the ad- vances registered in 1S9S-1S99 and 19O1- 1902. Two features at this time are the strength of the Bessemer iron market foundry and furnace coke, and the with drawal from the market of It's manu- faeturers. To the scarcity of furnace coke which was prominent last week as a deterring element in the starting up of furnaces, must also be added the diff ficulty of now obtaining an adequate ore supply on account of the lateness of the season. All other material in the metal trade has caught the fever, and billets, sheets, bars rolls, tubes, steel wire, etc., have registered anvances. It is interest ing at this time to compare the prices of northern and southern iron during 1901-1902 as the similarity of the conditions at tht time and the present is marked.
