Snowfall in the mountains.

During February the snowfall was
in martcd excess of the normal over
the upper drainage areas Of the Rio
Grande, the Qunnison and the streams
OF the extreme southwestern part OF
the stnte. Over the Arkansas and
the South Platte watersheds the dis
tribution was uneven: Hs a. whole the
fall on those watersheds was some
what below the average for the las,
ten or fifteen years. but double that
for February. 1904. As a result Of the
warm spells there was ,, considerable
settling: the present depths. however
are much greater in all districts than
was noted at the corresponding date
last year. The consensus of. opinion Is
that the melting of the present stock
Of snow will furnish good flow. the
ground being unusually well hlled with
moisture. '.,ir,-

Strange Inconsistency

The ballot and election law is being quite
generally discussed. One change advocated
is to have the intention of the voter to be con-
sidered in counting ballots. This suggestion,
singularly enough, comes generally from those
persons who opposed the adoption of the
franchise amendment recently submitted to
the voters of the State. These anti amend
ment people talked strongly against the right
to vote being submitted TO the discretion OF
two registrars of voters, one of each political
party. Had the amendment been adopted all
persons, except those who were voters III this
or any other State prior to 1869 aud their de-
scendants, would have to give reasonable
explanation of some section of the Constltu-
ton of MARYLAND before being entitled TO reg
lister. The opponents of the amendment
assumed that the registrars would be dishon-
est-''unconvicted felons'' Mr.. Rayner deslg-
mated some of them-and would use their
positions to disfranchise whom they choose
This was an unfair assumption-an insult to a
large number of respectable and Intelligent
citizens and to the appointing power. Their
power would have extended to the reasonable
ness of an explanation given by an applicant
for registration. They were to determine
from spoken words. Now these anti amend
ment people would give to disreputable(D
registrars and judges the power to determine
a voters intention in marking his balloi-to

tended. not in accordance with the marks he
niade. He may have been paid to mark hls
ballot so that it would be thrown out, but The
iudges may conclude to count it.

FATTBNING STEERS.
Points of Value in Feeding Corn and
Glover Hay.

II w. Mumford of the Illinois expert
mept station has recently announced a
number of conclusions from test with ten
lots of steers to determine the most protita-
bic way of feeding corn and clover hay to
cattle They are as follows
Silaoe ranks with ear corn, cornmeal
and corn and cob meal in its ability to
make rapid gains on fattening cattle.
Cornmeal and corn and cob meal seem
to be about equally efficient in producing
quick finish.
In this test more rapid gains were Sc
cured with whole than with shelled corn
and equally as good as with meal
A reasonably quick finish may be secured
without the feeding of an excessively heavy
grain ration. In this test the largest
average amount of concentrates fed daily
throughout the experiment was in lots 2
6, I and 8, in all of which the cob is IN
cluded. The daily ration of concentrates
in these lots varied from % to %. > pounds
or approximately one peck of ear corn and
three pounds Of gluten meal or oil meal
per 600 pounds live weight of cattle.
The feeding of a heterogeneous concentrate
! to supplement corn undoubtedly stimulates
the appetite and increases the capacity OF
the steer for consuming TO advantage large
quantities Of concentrates. Hence this
system of feeding Is to be recommended
where quick finish Is desired.
Where conditions are such as prevailed
in this experiment corn and cob meal l. no,
so valuable for fatteuiug steers. pound for
pound. as cornmeal The presence of the
cob in ground corn does not appear to ma
terially increase the efficiency Of c,rn for
beef production or for combined beef and
pork production under conditions prevailing
/ in this test.
A iven amount Of corn and cob mrai
did not produce any more beef and eousid-
erably less beef and pork combined than
did ear corn.
Cornmeal proved much more efficient tor
/ beef production than shelled corn, while
for combined beef and pork production
they appear to be about equally efficient
1 Cornmeal Is not more effcient for beef Pho
/ duction than Is ear corn.
Ear corn Is much more efficient for beef
production than Is shelled corn.
This test indicated thai the supplement
/ ing of corn with heterogeneous concentrates
used in this instanc, increases the efficiency
! Of corn and clover hay for beef production.
