SOFT CORN.
Cattle Made Heavy Gains on II Last
Year and Finished Well.
BY w. j. GIBSON. Iowa.

BY w. ]. GIBSON. Iowa.
The corn crop improved in condition
on the whole with various spells of ia
yoraOle weather in the latter part of
the season, yet there will be many
cases where soft or light and chaffy
sOrn will be cribbed.
The Iowa Homestead recalls an in
stance of last year where crib con
tanning 1000 bushels of fairly good
corn was almost ruined by simply
throwing in the soft ears as well as
the firm ones, although probably not l
per cent of the corn was soft, and
says: Yet this small percentage did
an immense amount of damage. Each
soft ear proved center of decay and
worked its way through the sound
corn
There will be many fields that had
good yield this year, but which contain
Il certain percentage of soft ears, ac-
cOrding to the same authority, and it
is suggested that these be put in IA 10
cation by themselves, where they can
be spread out and kept from rotting.
While mature corn would Of course
be preferred for feeding in beef pro.
ductjon. vet If there is soft corn and
it must either be left to rot or fed to
stock it is matter of interest to know
what its value may be for the latter
purpose This was investigated last
season. when so much of the crop was
soft, by the Iowa experiment station,
and the following conclusions We're ar
rived at:
Eirst.-Ihat soft corn grown on the
college farm in 1902 and containing 30
per cent of moisture ut the beginning
Of the test, pound for pound, on wa
ter free or dry matter basis was fully
equal in feeding value to mature corn
grown in 1900 when used for fatteuing
cattle.
Second That cattle fed on such soft
corn made nearly as heavy gains and
finished equally rs well as those fed
on mature corn grown in 1900.
Third.-That when soft corn similar
to that used in this test could be pur-
chased for 80 cents per bushel, the pre-
valIng market price, gains on fatten-
ing cattle could be made at cost of
3.O3 cents per pound less than when
mature corn, costing 30 cents per bush
cl the prevailing market price, was
fed under similar conditions.
The term soft corn" is indefinite
because meaning in different parts of
Il tn
of moisture in the corn; hence con
clusions us to the feeding value of soft
corn are somewhat difficult to fix.

The shepherd of II dock in certain
suburb of Chicago had been finding it

outward show of general friendliness,
there was under the surface a bitter

In anything but respectful terms OF

One Sunday morning just after the

to him had been in conflict at bust

pulpit and began to tell his hearers
of experiences that lie had undergone

is that God sometimes does his work
In mysterious ways. People who had
previously been enemies We're brought
together In loving friendship by the
affections that We're put upon them
during those trying days. Old quarrels
We're forgotten, spirit of religious
fervor swept through the town, and |

After that the breach seemed to

POETS DAY"
Will be July 18th at the Portland
Fair--Especially Dedicated
to Joaquin Miller.

Portland, June 1st. Saturday, the
18th day of July, has been dedicated
by the Lewis and Clark Exposition to
joaquin Miller. and the famous wes-
tern poet will be present on that day
to meet and greet his old friends in
Oregon, and also to fraternize with a
number of other poets and authors
who will be in attendance.
joaquin Miller day will close Wes-
tern Author s Week at the big fair. All
authors Of books in any field of litera-
ture, residing west Of the Mississippi
river, and many in the east who have
written notably of western topics, will
be specially invited. It is also the
hope of the exposition management
that eastern authors, whether or not
they receive invitations. will attend
the exposition during that week and
help to make this the most memorable
gathering Of American authors ever
held. This is the first time that any
exposition has homo red the profession
OF authorship. 4
joaquin Miller himself insists that
the day named for him be- called
ssPoets' Day, and that all Of the
poets be- invited. Accordingly, efforts
vii be made to insure the attendance

MASONS MEET
A Big Time at Willow City
Last Night.
HAD SPECIAL TRAIN ['
About q Hundred Arrived In Willow City
Last Night on Special Train Char
tered for the Occasion. A
Splendid Banquet.

There were big doings in the Ma
sonic hall at Willow City last night.
About hundred Masons from West
hope, Souris, Bottineau, Omemee and
Rugby assisted Willow City with de-.
gree work. It was jolly crowd that
went down the line on special train
at 7:45. Several members who ex-
pressed an intention to remain at
home were forcibly detained at the
depot and assisted to get on the train.
Some of the Omemeeites received
equally pressing invitations to go
down to Willow. Too much cannot be-
said for the hospitable way in which
the Willow people took care of the
visitors. A splendid banquet was
served in excellent style. Rev. White
acted as toastmaster. The responses to
the toasts were bright and witty and
were greeted with roars of laughter.
Excellent music was furnished during
the service of the banquet by the
Westhope orchestra, assisted by Messrs
Stafford and Rvgg of this city. Songs
by several we'll known vocal artists
were enthusiastically applauded.
When the tables were cleared away,
dancing was INDUCED. in for short
time. The special train left at $40
a. m. and the boys We're still cheering
for Willow City when we arrived
here. ~; .

Miller is the dean of western poets.
He was born in Indiana, but grew up
in Oregon. His career has been pic
turesque. He is famous both in
Europe and America as ''the poet of
the Sierras'', his Songs of Sierras''
and ''Songs of the Sunlands" having
been widely read in many lands. Mil
Ter is now past GO years of age. He
lives near Oakland, California, at
home which he calls "Ihe Heights. -

Memorial Day.

Turtle Mountain Lodge of Odd
Fellows celebrated Memorial day in a
beautiful and fitting manner. After
Memorial services and commemorative
addresses in the hall, the lodge
marched in body to Oak Creek
Cemetery where an impressive decora-
tion service was performed. Each
grave was decorated by a floral en-
blem-the three links Of Odd Fellow
ship. The grave of Angus McKinnon
was the first visited. then those of DR..
j. A. Greie and wife and last that of
Alexander Frazer. A short biography
was read at each grave. The cere-
mony was a beautiful one and of deep
significance. About fifty members of
the lodge took part in the exercises.
