Wheat Straw as Feed.


An Iowa farmer says in farm ex-
change: We were unlucky enough TO
SOW some of the so-called Northern
wheat sold by our local miller here
last spring, and like all my neighbors
who did likewise had to put up with q
bushels of chicken feed per acre.
When we thrashed we put this rusty
straw in the bottom of the straw stack,
thinking 1t of no value except for ma
nure. There was only about four
acres of it, and we thought to use it
to keep the good straw from the native
wheat, which was nice and bright, off
the ground. Now we are very much
surprised to find the cattle eating the
very bottom out from under the straw
stack. They get down on their knees
and reach as far as their necks will
stretch for a bite of that rusty straw
and the stack is about ready to tum-
BILE. The bright straw that looked so
traction for them. They leave good
corn fodder half cleaned UP to rubber
for that rusty straw. Prairie hay
don't seem to be any better TO them
and it looks as though l will have to
fence that stray stack to keep them
from getting killed when it falls. This
confirms in a convincing way the re-
port recently published in Wallace's
Farmer of the analysis of bright and
rusty wheat straw in which it was
shown that the rusty straw contained
the most nourlshment This is also
another proof that cattle are pretty
good chemists and often know better
than their owners what is best for
them.

NIoIes.

The Kansas Agricultural College has
just issued newspaper bulletin on
moles. 1t says, greatly condensed:
"AIoles have few natural enemies, as
they seldom come to the surface
Their food consists chiefly of earth
worms and insects that live in the
ground, and the presence of moles in
large numbers is evidence Of the. album
dance of their food. They destroy
noxious insects in great numbers, es-
pecially the grub worm or May beetle
larva, and were it not for the damage
they do to lawns and crops by throw
ing up their ridges, they would be
more beneficial than harmful. They
seldom eat grains of newly planted
corn. This is done principally by field
mice that follow them. In killing them
by poison the best method was to pol
son green corn Gn the roasting ear
stage with strychnine and placing it
in their burrows. Unroasted peanut
kernels. poisoned, were also quite sue
cessful, as was shelled corn soaked
In syrup and strychnine. Bits Of meat
and dead insects. poisoned, lave been
used successfully, but there is more
danger Of poisoning dogs when meat is
used. as the burrows lie close to the
surface.
Traps for catching moles are sold
in most of the hardware stores. Near
ly all of them work by the use of
a spring coil, which, when released,
drives a number of sharp tines into
the ground and through the mole
Some experience in setting these traps
will lead 10 the best results; but trap
ping is a much slower process than
poisoning.

TALK OF BRITISH ALLIANCE
By Associated Press.

| By Associated Press.
TOXIC, May 9.-The feeling Of re-
sentiment against France for the assist
ance given to the Russian second Pa
cific squadron continues to run high
and is finding expression in a variety of
ways. The nearness Of the Russian
squadron and the nature of the pre-
parations which Admiral Rojestvensky
Is known to have made in French
waters seem to have suddenly convinc-
ed the people that it would have been
impossible for Rojestvensky to come to
the far east without outside assist
ance, and this has given a sinister
tone to the popular resentment. In the
crisis many eyes are turned toward
Great Britain for assistance.
1t is argued that France rescued Ro-
jestvensky from absolute failure to
reach the China sea, and that the final
aid given to the Russians in Indo-China
amounts to an act of belligerency.
Hence there are many demands that
Japan invoke the alliance with Great
Britain.
Formerly large section of the public
was inclined to view with leniency the
French acts of friendship for Russia
on account of the formers delicate posi-
tion as an ally and creditor. The sus-
picion that Rojestvensky was not a
welcome guest at Kamranh bay and
that he was presuming upon French
hospitality also tempered the feeling of
resentment. but recent events are re-
moving these attitudes and the national
sentiment is uniting in unconditional
insistence that France preserve neu-
trality.
The Japanese government has not
taken the people of this country into
it's confidence. Since the Kamranh bay
incident nothing has been officially
made known except that the govern
ment was making vigorous representa-
tions at Paris, although proceeding
carefully and cautiously, not desiring to
resort to extreme measures while hope
of an adjustment exists.

BALFouR MAKES REPLY

LONDON, May 9,-The situation

alleged violation of French neutrality
in Indo-China by Admiral Rojest-

of Great Britain becoming involved,
formed the subject of a question to

"As soon as the French government
was aware of Admiral Rojestvensky' 6
presence at Kamranh bay representa-
