There is especial interest attached
to this particular lot of cattle as Mr..

Iowa Agricultural college at Ames at
his feed lots. He has just compiled
report of the feeding transaction
and has sent the college professors
copy. He is of the opinion that he
made better gains than at a similar
test at the college.
The rations used by Mr.. Smith
were corn and alfalfa, and he figures
he got 40 cents a bushel for his corn
and 81 a ton for his alfalfa. Besides
this he allowed his cattle to feed at
his strawstacks and forage through
his corn field.
These cattle were purchased at a
weight of SAC pounds and made the
remarkable gain of 2S5 pounds to the
head in the five months feeding, av-
eraging 1131 pounds when sold To
accomplish this Mr.. Smith figures
that it cost him 16 1-2 cents per day

FAIR EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.
Thoroughly Equipped Sick and Sur
gerry Wards to Be Established at
Lewis and Clark Exposition,

DR.. F. A. j. Mackenzie has been
appointed medical director for the
Lewis and Clark exposition. Two
surgeons and a staff of trained nurses
will assist the medical director dur
ing the exposition period.
An emergency hospital will be es-
tablished on the grounds, in a build
ing now being constructed for the
express purpose. The exposition Of
ficials are taking this precaution to
provide against any emergency that
may arise, though it is not regarded
as likely that there will be any great
need for SUCH a hospital.
At expositions held in the East
there have been a number of prostra-
tions from heat. Oregon's mild eli
mate gives promise of a very low per-
centage of heat prostrations; in fact
the physicians scarcely expect any
but they will be ready in case their
services are needed. There is also
much less liability of accidents at the
| exposition, owing to the, substantial
| character of the buildings and the
fact that no intramural railway is re-
quired.
An ambulance wagon of the latest
pattern will be provided, manned by
a hospital corps selected by Adjutant
General William FINER of the Oregon
National Guard, from among his best
men.
