THE CHILD BORN

Mrs. Geiger, daughter of James
Wrisinger, the Brush creek ranch
man, last night gave birth to a
boy. 1t will be remembered that
Wrisinger was arrested on the
charge of incest upon evidence
given by his daughter, Mrs. Gel
ger. This week the charge against
him was dismissed, Prosecuting
Attorney Greenfield learning of
some new developments.
Mrs. Geiger has made affidavit
that her father is not responsible
for the illegal child, but i~mplicat-
ed a young man of the Platte Val
ley. She also further tells of a
Matchmaking scheme which caus-
ed her to inform against her ia

river was only partially success

only once in the history of this
country was it cold enough to
freeze the water pipes.
Another thing that will strike
the traveller from Wyoming is the
fact that all of the hay of this
country is either alfalfa or baled
oats. No hay. in the sense that
We speak of hay, is grown in this
country. They get from seven to
nine crops of alfalfa in the coun-
try down about Los Angeles, but
by far the greater part of the
hay OF the entire coast is oaled

fore they ripen, stacked and then

The hay baler is every where in
evidence. as also is the bean
thresher down here in this coun-
try. One sees great fields of Lima
beans here on every hand. The
beans are cultivated like potatoes,
then harvested by means of a kind
of harrow, which gathers up vines
and all, dumping them in winrows
after which men come along with
forks and pile them up in punches
to be hauled in like hay to be
stacked. Then comes the thresh-
er and the beans are sacked and
the sacks corded up out in the
field to await a convenient season
for hauling them to market. These
ricks of bean sacks are to be seen
all over the country exposed to
the weather, but you must remem-
Der hat they don't have any wea-
Their here-just simply sunshine,
day after day, until the rainy sea

to look for that and govern them
selves accordingly.
1t is astonishing to see the scale
upon which these people farm
down there. One man devotes
his entire 40. 100 or 100 acres of
land as the case may be, to some
particular crop. One man will
raise nothing but water melons:
another cantaloupes; another to-
matoes, still another goes in for
strawberries. We saw the ranch of

Cotton Seed Meal For Hogs.

The Texas Experiment Station
has sent US bulletin rs experi.
ments in feeding fermented cot
ton seed meal to hogs.
The following is a summary of
the bulletIn:
l a comparison of the results
Of this experiment with those of
other stations at which cotton
seed meal was fed in the ordinary
way Indicates that cotton
seed meal may be used IN
larger quantities and for longer
periods when fermented and fed
In a slop.
2. The reports of feeders who
have used cotton seed meal for
hogs indicate that a light feed of
cotton seed meal may be con.
tinued indefinitely, and that the
consumption of green feed les
sens the danger of death from
feeding it.
3. In this trial the hogs were
yard fed during the hot summer
season, consequently they we're
under conditions making the trial
as severe as possible. Under
such conditions fermenting cot.
ton seed meal does not entirely
remove it's injurious effect when
fed to hogs.
4. The results of this expert
ment show that for the first 43
days Of the feeding the mixture
containing cotton seed meal and
corn gave larger and cheaper
grains than the straight corn ra-
ton, while during the second
period of 40 days the results
were reversed. This leads to
the suggestion that to improve a
corn ration it would be advisable
to add cotton seed meal to it for
about 40 days, preferable for
other reasons also, during the last
40 days of the feeding.
>. The hogs that received cot
ton seed meal as a part of their
ration in this trial showed less
fat and more lean meat in the
carcass.
q. The carcasses OF the hogs
that received cotton seed meal,
contrary to the previously ex-
pressed opinion of the packers,
were tirmer and therefore more
acceptable to them than those of
the corn fed hogs.
