Food for the Stock.

Those who have tested the use OF
cooked and uncooked foods for stock,
more particularly for swine, agree that
the uncooked foods are by far the most
digestible. This opinion would delight
the vegetarians who urge uncooked
fruits and vegetables as being more
wholesome. Yet there are two sides to
the story as usual. There seems to be
no denying the value Of the uncooked
food, with animals at any rate, but we
all know that a quantity of raw fruits
and vegetables eaten by humans during
the summer Is apt to create a disturb
ance of the digestive organs. Not al
ways does 1t cause a looseness Of the
bowels. but acidity Of the stomach,
which is very painful. Is it not fair to
assume that II uncoOked food has this
effect on the human stomach that 1t
must have some bad effect on the stom-
ach of the farm animal
This may be little far-fetched. but
experience has taught the writer that,
without exception, one warm meal
day during the winter is beneficial to
the animals. Even our horses have
warm bran mash, and 1t has been we'll
cooked, too. The poultry have the
warm cooked mash and the hot corn
at night every other day, and thrive
on It, This being our experience, our
argument is that animals should have
cooked food occasionally, but that
most Of their meals should consist of
food not cooked,

SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES

Senator Bard Ma IS dhnrges in Com
mittee Room.

mittee Room.
Washington. Sensational disclos-
ures in relation to the alleged use of
Indian trust funds for the support of
sectaiian schools were made by Senator
Bard in statement to the senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs.
Senator Bard addressed the commit
tee after statements had been made bv
S. M. Brosius, agent of the Indian
rights association, and Francis Leupp.
commissioners of Indian affairs. The
senator said that he had been visited bv
DR.. e. l.. Scharf, an agent for a
Roman Catholic mission society. and
asked to use his influence with repub-
lican members of congress looking to
forwarding the interest of Catholics in
getting a diversion of the Indian trust
funds for the support of the Catholic
schools on the reservations. He quoted
DIR Scharf as saying that if the repub-
ans would agree to help the desired
legislation, the Catholics would see
that the Twentieth congressional dis
trict, in which the republicans were
weak, was carried for the party.
Senator Teller questioned Senator
Bard as to his construction of the offer
of DR.. Scharf and received the reply:
Il thought it purely political and at
the time placed little credence in it,.
Senator said that if it was proven
that the statement of DR.. Scharf was
made in earnest there was more cause
70 complain of the interference of the
Cath' C church than of the Mormon
church in the political affairs of the
country.
The remarks of Senator Bard at
tracted attention to letters hat had
been put in the record by Mr.. Brosius.
Among these were a number from
priests in relation to the use of Indian
trust funds. Two of them alleged that
the president was favorable to the di-
version of the funds for the promotion
of the Catholic schools on the resera-
tions.
