Versus the Octopus.

Kansas Is talking of starting an oil
refinery of her own to buck the Stand
ard. What John ID. Rockefeller ct
id genus omne will think of that this
deponent saith not, because he know
eth not, being in no way authorized to
speak for the kerosene magnates. But
If Kansas can do as well with her Oil
refinery rs she has done with her
binder twine factory she is to be both
congratulated and encouraged In her
undertaking. She proposes as n start
er to appropriate $4,000 for her new
enterprise. Agents of the Standard
turn up their scornful noses and de-
clare that that Is not a drop In the
bucket. Perhaps not, but Kansas is a
great, rich commonwealth, much in the
habit of doing as she pleases. If she
has set her head and heart on an oil
refinery of her own the chances are
that she will achieve it, even If she
has to appropriate $50,000,000 instead
Of paltry $4,000. 1t will be remem-
bered that fun was poked at her when
she began to make arrangements to
manufacture her own binding twine
but she pursued the even tenor of her
way ana despite prophecies of utter
failure, made bowling success of the
venture, 30 much SO, indeed, that
Missouri and Minnesota have both fol-
lowed her example and are now engag-
ed in making their own twine. BY SO
doing Kansas reduced the price OF
twiQe to Kansas consumers some or
o cents on the pound. If she can ac-
complish that result with binder twine,
why may she not do the same or even
better with oil? "Others, seeing her
good works." may go and do likewise.
1t would be a strange and exhilarating
performance If Kansas should prove to
be the David of the Standard Goliath.

THE FEEDERS CORNER

Judgment is needed in the feeding of
roots to hogs. They like the roots and
will sometimes eat more than IL profit
able for them to eat-that is, they fill
up on roots and the work of the stom-
ach goes to digest lot of material
that has in it very little nutriment
When water is given In addition to the
roots the result is even more in the
direction we have Indicated If the
hogs have good quantity of roots.
they should not be given water, for the
roots are almost nlne-tenths water
But 1t Is better to give the swine some
water and reduce the amount of roots
they are to receive. Roots are great
adjunct to the grain ration.
Grain For Sheep.
In feeding grain to sheep besides
leading to larger development of
young sheep it will increase the weight
of mutton sheep and improve the quail
ity of the meat as nothing else will.
1t increases the weight and quality of
the fieeces.
Best Feed For the Horse.
Oats contain the greater proportion
of flesh forming elements and corn the
greater proportion of fat forming ele-
ments, and this is why oats are the best
food for horses.
Pumpkins as HOG Feed.
The Oregon experiment station made
a test OF the feeding value of pump
kins in which they We're valued at
$3.50 per ton and shorts at $12 per ton.
These two foods were fed a period of
nearly two months. The pumpkins
were cooked and fed at the rate of
6.14 pounds to each pound OF shorts.
This ration proved satisfactory, and
the pigs gained 400 pounds at cost of
$3.50 per hundredweight. The total
consumption was 1923 pounds Of
pumpkins and 924 pounds OF shorts.

The InoaIIs Statue,

The crowning honor which the people
Of any state can pay to one of its citi-
zens is to place his efligy in Statuary
hall, the great American Valhalla. Yet,
sad to say, there are perhaps more in
artistic statues therein than were ever
congregated anywhere else. 1t Is said
that one of the best. most llfelike, is
that of the late Senator John James
ingalls, of Kansas. 1t is an open secret
that one reason of its excellence is that
the senator's son Ralph, who much re-
sembles his illustrious father in stature,
build, ETC., posed for the statue, dressed
in suit of his fathers clothes, includ-
ing even the overcoat. This was GER
tainly happy thought on the part Of
the artist, and he has his ample re-
ward in the universal and unstinted
praise which his work has elected.

Feeding Steers
For Market

1t Is by no means necessary to have
cattle as highly finished as the show
ring specimens to make good beef. says
G. t. Curtiss in Breeders Gazette.
The tendency is to discriminate more
and more against the heavy, overfat-
tened. wasteful bullocks The reason
that the market favors the younger
animal is that there is proportionately
less fat and less waste in the carcass.
At the first international live stock ex-
position, held in 1900, one of the largest
bullocks of the show, q prize winner in
the two-year-old grade classes, pre-
sented four inches of tallow covering
over the ribs before any lean meat was
reached. This was an extreme case
where the formation of fat had taken
place at the expense of lean. 1t may
be safely said, however, that four
fifths Of the single bullocks exhibited
In the twO-year-old classes at the inter-
national are entirely too fat for prime
Of all of the aged animals exhibited In
the breeding classes.
There are times when the market de-
mands q little ripper carcass than the
judging on the block would indicate.
This accounts for the slight premium
paid for the highly finished steers. The
extreme finish, however, does not pay
from practical or commercial stand
point aside from the show value and
the prize winning feature. AS busi-
ness proposition, steers that have
breeding and quality and that conform
to the beef type and that are thick in
the high priced cuts will return to both
producer and consumer a greater profit
when finished to medium degree
than whep fed out to show form.
Pure Bred Cattle Scarce.
We are inclined to get the impression
from live stock shows and advertise
ments that this country is filled with
pure bred stock, but upon careful inyes-
tigation the fact is revealed that we
have only 100000 head of pure bred
cattle in the United States out Of to-
tai of 68,00o,000 head. We have 5,74O,-
900 farms, which means that only
1.2 head of pure bred cattle on an
average are found on each farm. If
we assume that half of these animals
are males. which they probably are
not, and about one-half Of these are
Of breeding age, we have only about
one pure bred bull for each thirty-five
or forty farms. These few figures
show most strikingly the well known
fact that farmers should pay more at
tention to cattle breeding as well as to
horse breeding.--Farmers Tribune

Feedinr the Brood sow.

Feed sows slop made of middlings
and milk or warm water once day
and moderate ration of whole oats
one part, corn one part, once a day.
Clover hay may be fed chopped or
whole. If chopped or cut it may be
well mixed with the slop, in which
case it would be found very satisfac-
tory supplement to mIddlings. On well
managed hog farms breeders have a
supply of roots, such as sugar beets
and mangels, as succulent food Of
some sort is very desirable. The sows
should also have access to salt, char
coal and ashes.

Tho Deficit.


The Washington Star thus comments
on the treasury situation:
The treasury, receipts and expenditures
for the seven months of the fiscal year
ended today show total receipts of $32l,-
060,13S and expenditures of s349 656, 445, MAX
ing deficit of $28.5963O7 for the year so
far. At the same time in the last fiscal
year the total receipts were 1913. .425, ,843 and
the expenditures $317,s51,G09, surplus Of
S57+234.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the off,
cials of the treasury that from now on
the treasury will make better showing
and that the receipts will probably exceed
the expenditures the remainder of the
year by at least $10OOO.OOO. which would
make the deficit for the year close to the
estimate of Secretary Shaw-$1S, 100000.
For the month closed today the total re-
ceipts were $l3, .2S5 and the expenditures
49, 200, making deficit for the month
of $6,21s.714. For the Same month of the

Naturally enough many of the most
ardent opponents of any limitation
to the time for labor in unhealthy or
unsafe pursuits are actuated more By
anxiety to profit by the long hours
of toll of others than by any desire
to labor SO long themselves. while
some of the worlds most eminent
minds have favored such limitation.
Before the invention of many of the
most ingenious labor saving devices
with which We are blessed today, and
consequently when tue effort required
to support the world was LIuch greater
per capita than now, our ever es-
teemed patriot, statesman and philoso-
pher, Franklin, proclaimed that by the
proper or equal distribution Of labor
no one would need to toll one half 80
long as the time for which petitioner
contends. President Harrison in his
annual messages Of 1889, 1890, 1871
and 1892 urged upon Congress tho
necessity of requiring appliances to
prevent injuries in the coupling and
braking of cars engaged In interstate
commerce and legislation to that end
was sustained recently by the Su-
preme Court Of the United States in
johnson against the Southern Pacific
Company. Count Tolstoi favors tbs
reduction in the hours of labor for
employees in factories and mills and
President Roosevelt in his message
ito Congress last December advocated
a restriction in the hours for trainmen.
While governor CT New York he rec
omended and signed a bill which made
an eight hour day for the employees
iof that State. He and Presidents,
Grant Cleveland and Mckinley fav-
ored the limitation to eight hours of
labor on government work.
The fact that the avocations men.
toned in the Statute, including the
one of milling ores, are injurious 10
