NATIONAL GUARD MIDDLE.

While it has been quite generally
known for some time that the Nation
al Guard OF Utah was not doing as
well as it might, the fact that open
insurrection prevailed was not
public property until Memorial Day,
when the Signal corps, Companies ID
and II, First Infantry and the First
Battery wilfully disobeyed orders and
did not appear in the parade. Such
fragrant violation of discipline would,
in other states, result in a series OF
heart breaking courts martial and
there seems likely to be
some ''doings" here in this
city very soon, although when
is problematical, the adjutant general
stating that the matter had not yet
come up to him. The First Regiment
band, being new organization, was
excused from parade. It's members
are not yet proficient to a degree that
would warrant their turning out. Tne
battery may be excused because it
could not secure horses. Horses for
a creditable display of National
Guard battery are hard to secure in
this city on days such as was Memo
rial Day. 1t is understood that a num-
Der of privates of the battery charged
with securing horses reported they
could not get enough to do any good
with, and while it is minated that
the soldiers aforesaid did not rustic
very hard, the statement may be &C
cepted as being nearly, if not quite,
correct.
The infantry companies have no
such excuse however. An infantryman
needs no horse; all he has to do is to
climb into his uniform, shoulder his
rifle and report for duty.
The cavalry troop, such as it is, re-
ported with what horses it could get,
about twenty-five in all, and did the
best it could. 1t was the only organi-
cation represented, save the Hospital
corps, which fell into line with a red
cross wagon and drove up and down
the line of march.
Brigadier-General Sam Park was
out of the city at the time ana the
command devolved upon Colonel, or
Lieutentant-C Colonel II. M. H. Lund,
who was on time to the minute, ready
to command anything, had there been
anything to command. Not having
any thing to command this valiant SOL
der took a place as an aide and did
yeoman service directing various or
CARNATIONS where to form for the pa
rade. He is quoted as saying since
the event that there would have to
be a reorganization of the guard.
In this the Northumberland Is
right. There will have to be and there
should be. AS matter of fact the
guard has never been conducted on
the correct principle. 1t has been
hit and miss affair from start to I'm
ish. General officers appointed have
never paid any attention to the de,
tails of the work of organization and
maintenance and but for the efforts
of a few subordinates and the actual
interest taken by the enlisted men, the
National Guard of Utah would have
been a ghost long, long ago.
In so far as the Acknowledgement
is concerned that Office has never, I'M
til now. been filled by a man who
cared anything for the welfare of the
National Guard beyond the interest he
had in drawing his salary. The brig

sot nurses at every race, and with the
host of racing talent always on hand,
tho winners will have to go some to

riders will be on hand, a bunch of
now amateurs, and the best profession

a strictly "your moneys worth" from

that wheel racing will be the event
of the season in little old Salt Lake.
The Salt Palace grounds and theatre
will afford plenty of amusement to
those who love variety of entertain
ment. Outside of other features, the
salt palace itself will be a source of
attraction to visitors and tourists.
There have been corn palaces" and
"ice palaces" galore in various parts
of the country, but there is only one
salt palace in the world-down at
Tenth South and Main. The salt pal
ace theatre is regarded by some as the
prettiest summer theatre to be found
in the world. This season it will be
under the progressive management of
Mr.. John Halverson and he promises
high class vaudeville entertainment
that will appeal to the public strictly
on merit. Mr.. Halverson certainly has
the reputation of getting what he goes
after and the theatre should be win
ner.

Utahna Park will be opened next
Monday, June 5. The open air theatre
will be thoroughly renovated and in
frst-class shape for the opening, a
high class vaudeville show being the
bill. All through the summer there
will be something doing" at Utahna
Park. Mr.. Gourley's successful bust
ness of last season will be again re-
peated as the management will not
only keep to the motto of fair deal
ing with the public, but a number of
innovations will be introduced which
cannot fail to receive generous appre-
citation.

able features introduced by Mr.. Lang
ford, whose progressive methods are
well known, is a system of telephones
all over the great pavilion. A special
telephone service will extend out into
the lake for the use of bathers. Just
think of fellow in the water, pad

city-or to some other fellows girl

The ten thousand dollar theatre at
Saltair will be one of the prettiest
summer amusement places to be found
anywhere. A dramatic company has
been engaged to present the best pop
ular dramas.
Mr.. E. S. Connolly, the manager OF
the Saltair theatre, has selected a
company of professional players for
the Saltair theatre. Miss Victory
Bateman, who has always been an i'm

fourths of the land is fenced in. Copies
of the resolution were ordered sent to
both the Washington and Idaho legis-

Close Margins in Cattle Feeding.

GlOSS Margins III SdtllS
Our old friend, e. G. Burnett, now
director of the Nebraska experiment
station, keeps a close eye on the pos
sible profits in all the experiments he
conducts Particularly is he careful
when it comes to putting solid grain
into cattle to so combine it with other
foods as to get the greatest possible
gain in the least possible time. Re-
ferring TO mistakes made along these
lines and recent experiments bearing
upon them, Professor Burnett says:
1T is often said that profit in cattle
feeding is a question of margins be-
tween buying and selling price. So
largely is this true that other import
ant factors are often lost sight of.
The best of cattle and the best meth
DDS of feeding may not give profit
on a bad market; on the other hand,
inferior cattle and bad methods some
times pay a profit when there is
strong upward trend of the market
during the feeding period.
'The 3-year-old OK of bad quality
needs a wide margin to pay profit.
He must be grown largely on cheap
foods, probably under range condi-
tons, purchased at a low price and
finished quickly in the feed lot, or he
leaves nothing for the feeder. On the
other hand, baby beef, well-bred,
early-maturing kinds, may be pur-
chased as calves at weaving time, at
a price equal to their value as finished
beef and still be fed at profit
'"The reason is not difficult to find.
The baby calf, with possibilities of
growth and with a more active assim-
ilation, makes his gains on far less
feed than the mature steer. Records
made at the Nebraska station Indicate
that it requires from six to nine
pounds of feed half grain to produce
one pound of grain in the calf, While
twice this amount is required for
steers eighteen months old, and ma
ture steers require from twelve to six
teen pounds generally twO-thirds grain
to produce the same results. This
increased food required to produce
given gain is the main reason why
the feeder must have an advance in
price.
"The feeding of baby beef is trade
in itself Old methods involving the
use of shelled corn and straw or prai-
RE hay will not do. An OK may get fat
on these foods, but the baby calf must
have something to grow blood, muscle
and bone. He must have a balanced
ration-a homemade ration will do
but it must be made up to suit him.

Glover or alfalfa hay and shelled corn,
with a little oats or bran added, will
I'VE sometimes think oil meal is too
alone cannot be fed with profit.
I'VE sometimes think oil meal is too
high to make it profitable to feed to
steers. In every instance where the
Nebraska station has compared corn
with corn and oil meal the addition
of 10 per cent oil meal GOO pounds
of oil meal to eighteen or twenty bush
els of corn has lessened the cost of
producing beef. If you can furnish
this protein food in the roughness
Glover and alfalfa hay) it will cost
less money, but it must be supplied,
and the younger the animal the
greater the need for a carefully pre-
pared ration.
MANY farmers who plan to feed the
corn they produce do not appreciate
the value of good quality of rough
ness. Land is kept continually in corn
when a portion of it, perhaps one
quarter of the farm, should be kept
continually in meadow and pasture.
This method will provide clover or
alfalfa hay and at the same time i'm
of grain per acre by rotating the
meadow and cultivated land. With
a high quality of roughness there is
money in baby beef. With poor
quality of roughness one had better
feed older cattle. Good roughness
lessons materially the amount of grain
necessary and the cost of grains may
be materially lessened on young cat
tie by the use of smaller grain ration
and the extension of the feeding per-
iOd.
Zone of our leading Nebraska feed
ers of large experience buys cattle of
medium quality in years of cheap corn
and in years of high-priced corn buys
a much better class of cattle. We
seem to come to the end of years of
cheap corn, and we cannot afford to
put our corn into cattle which realize
only about three-fourths of it's value
through producing an inferior quality
of meat.
Summer feeding often pays better
than winter feeding. Many farmers
who have never done so could summer
feed quite as we'll as winter feed, thus
distributing the supply of fat cattle
throughout the year.
'"That animals must be kept on the
high-priced land in the corn belt to-
consume the roughness and utilize
much of the grain is no longer dis
puted. Land must be laid down to
grass to restore its fertility. Crops
must be marketed more through live
stock and less through the elevators.
Rotations must be practical. Cattle
feeding must be followed because it
fits into a plan and consumes the
crops grown on the farm for that pur-
pose.
'It is safe to say that in these days
of severe competition the man who
thoroughly understands his business
and practices the best known methods
will be most successful"
