ROUGH FEED FOR EOGS.
Animal Man Makes Many Observa-
tons, and Gives Out Results of
His Experiments.

George M. ROmmel. of the bureau of |
animal industry of the United States |
department of agriculture, has been !
making some very interesting observa-
tions for several years relative to ex
periments along the line of feed for
hogs Although the capacity OF bulk
found in cattle and sheep is generally
lacking in hogs, Mr.. RommePs observa-
tions show that hogs will thrive on
reasonable amount of roughage.
The results of investigation conduct
ed by many experiment stations are
given:
The Kansas experiment station has
reported a series of experiments with
drought-resident crops. Three OF these
experiments had to do with alfalfa
hay. In the first place, the hogs used
were of mixed breeding -Berkshire and
Poland China-representing about the
average of Kansas farm hogs. The al
falfa was of good quality.
Two lots were fed, one receiving the

would consume, the other having

meal-fed lot received some cotton-seed

In the third test the grain was wet
with water at the time of feeding. Inc
alfalfa hay had been cut late and was
rather woody.
The Utah station fed one lat OF hogs
on a mixture of equal parts by weight
of chopped wheat and grain, wet. An
other lot had the same grain ration
with chopped alfalfa hay added Inc
alfalfa used was well cured and was
prepared by running through an ensi

Power of Public Opinion.

The man who defined public opinion
as "the stupidity of one multiplied by
the stupidity of many" preferred cpl
gram to truth. 1t is sometimes the
outgrowth of an impulsive Jumping
at conclusions" But public opinion is
fundamentally honest, and when it
jumps at conclusions 1t is usually
found condemning something which,
at the time. has the appearance of
evil. The man who is scrupulous in
his business dealings and who
evinces a fine sense of morality in
the conduct of public Office need never
fear public opinion. This has the pow
er to help along public morality by
demanding closer adherence to high
ideals than the law can possibly pre-

poa FoiIs Dynamite Plot.

Thermopolis. Wyo., July 29.-An in
teresting story is told OF the manner
in which the deposits of dynamite
were found under the cabin of the late
Bob" Mccoy, the cattleman who was
recently assassinated and his body
cast into the Big Horn river.
The dynamite. consisting Of six large
sticks. with long fuse attached, was
placed under the house. and directly
under the room in which Mccoy slept.
While the plotters were waiting to
spring their death trap McCoy's dog
dug hole under the corner of the
house and exposed the fuse. Mccoy
found the fuse and dug 1t up.
1t has developed that the assassins
intended to blow Mccoy up several
days before the dog uncovered the
fuse, but in the meantime the cattle
man engaged a housekeeper, and not
wishing to kill her. the plotters were
awaiting a time when Mccoy could
be caught in the house alone. The
dogs curiosity foiled their plans, but
they finally succeeded in numbering
the unfortunate ranchman.

LUXURY OF NO USE.
Mahogany and White Marble of Little
Value to Railroads.

On American railways the interiors
of stations are sometimes finished in
white marble, and parlor cars are
done in mahogany. Take trip into
Mexico. and on the Mexican Gulf rail-
way you will find mahogany sleepers
under the metals and whole bridges
built of beautiful white marble. Ma
hogany and marble are so abundant
along the line of the road that 1t is
cheaper to use them for construction
than to import from far away
forests and quarries less expen-
siye material. In West Mexico an
other railway ballasts its line with
silver ore. drawn from mines along
side the right of way. Such luxury is
of no use; the rock ballasted line is
smoother and more comfortable than
this ore-bult roadbed. The iron
bridges of our roads are stronger,
firmer, more easily repaired. Many a
Cuban land owner wishes soft pine
would replace the sometimes valuable
but to him worse than useless, hard
wood that covers his estate.

Loafinq In House Of Commons.

T. P. o'Connor, the brilliant 20.
licist and member of parliament, says
in late article that the house Of
commons is house of loafers. He
contrasts the dogs life" of mem
ber of the house of representatives
in Washington with the idleness of the
average NJ. P. Men noted for their in
dustry in literary, professional or
business lives entering parliament are
at once struck with the unbusinesslike
methods prevailing. They struggle
against the feeling of inertia, but
gradually become so accustomed to
the creaky, unwieldy, cumbrous, i'm.
mutable parliamentary machine that
they lose courage. hope and even
faith" 1t is impossible to do any
work in the house of commons. Mr..
O'Connor asserts from experience and
observation. although he notes one or
two exceptions to the rule.

Western Live Stock Show.

Interest in the big live stock show
to be held in Denver next January is in
creasin, and the affair is commencing
to take en- the appearance of an event
of national importance, says the Den
yer News. The first intention was to
make it an exclusively state affair, but
the demands from all over the West
for a chance to get in has resulted in
throwing the competition open to the
whole West. The board of directors
met at the Union stock yards yester-
day morning and completed the work
of organization. The board was in
creased so as to include representation
from other western states and
call the show THE Western
Live Stock Show and the
week of January 20, 1906, was set as
the date of the first show, for it is now
generally agreed that if the first show
is a success it will result in a perma-
nent organization and an annual event
to be held at Denver. The big national
live stock organizations have already
given the show their hearty indorse-
ment and promise to cooperate. II
is expected that the annual live stock
conventions will be held here during
the week of the show. and the com
bined events will bring thousands OF
visitors TO the city and state.
The organization as completed yes

THE FARM AND RANGE
Circular to HortleuIturlsts.

Tho State Horticultural Society has
issued the following circular to the
horticulturists of Colorado:
The Denver Chamber of Commerce
is placing before the public valuable
and permanent exhibit of the agricul-
tural and horticultural products of the
state, such as has never been at
tempted in Colorado, to the end that
strangers, travellers and tourists may
see and know the great resourceful-
ness of our soil and be led by ocular
demonstration to seek and make
homes amid the farms and orchards
of our commonwealth.
Having, as nucleus, a large portion
Of the agricultural display, sent to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St.
Louis, collected and prepared at great
expense, the foundation is hereby laid
for an exhibit OF inestimable educa-
tional value.
The chamber, therefore, appeals to
the horticulturists of the state to as
sist in this laudable undertaking by
adding horticultural features charac-
terlzing the orchids and gardens of
Colorado, and it has requested the
Colorado State Horticultural Society
TO supply these features. In response
d
executive committee of the society, it
hereby undertakes to comply with the
chambers request and has designated
Mr.. w. G. NJ. Stone. chairman of the
executive committee, to proceed, take
charge of the work and represent the
society.
The agricultural exhibit, now in
place. represents twenty counties and
contains 557 specimens of cereals,
grasses and plants. 1t was carefully
collected and artistically arranged at
an expense of s7,676.26.
The exhibit at st. Louis consisted of
116 trays and took six grand prizes,
eighty-four gold medals, 14T silver
medals and 1876 bronze medals. en-
bracing the greatest number of awards
OF any state in the Union. And yet
strangers think of Colorado as min
ing state only, whereas the farm and
its adjuncts produce more than double
the value of the precious metals.
The exhibit is being placed in the
large auditorium of the Chamber of
Commerce building at the corner of
Fourteenth and Lawrence streets, only
one block from the street railway loop.
This spacious hall has recently been
artistically decorated and is one or
the prettiest rooms in the city of Den

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER.
Social Conscience Beginning to Make
Itself Felt.


Conscience in many respectable peo-
pie consists in denouncing the sins of
other people. What respectable citi-
zen likes to call himself rascal? He
never bribes. He is held up by labor
organizations, city councils and state
legislatures. He does not graft. He
does not expect to apply the Sermon
on the Mount to business. He con-
tributes to no corruption fund. He
only helps to save his country with
his money. Other men may water
stock. He simply capitalizes his COM
pany on the basis of its earning capa-
city. There are bribers and corrup-
tlonists and stock gamblers. He la
ments the fact and writes essays on
the morals of the country in which
such evil men live. And he is worse
than the men he condemns. He is a
hypocrite. We are just now seeing
the social conscience awakened to the
dangers from such responsibility. 1t
is movement which cheers the opti-
mist and even halts the cynic.-The
