banks spineless cactus in the deserts of

Law for Feeding Stock Disregarded

A Federal statute requires live stock
in transit to be unloaded, fed and
watered at intervals not longer than 2s
hours. 1t is agreed that it is cruel to
keep animals longer than this without
food and water, aud that their meat is
uot so healthy if they are feverish and
hungry when killed. The Chicago
Tribune, referring to this law says
Investigations by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson reveal that the law has
been violated 400 times in three months.
Like many other enactments. State
and National, for the regulation of
railroads. it is habi ually violated.
Where obedience to a law is incon-
venient or expensive. the law is disre-
garded" +"

EQUITABLE INSURANCE COMPANY
Investigating Committees Report
Demands Removal of Head Officers.


Some time ago a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the condition Of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
whose affairs have been so much aired
of late. The committee has finished its
labors. and its report is scathing ar
raigment OF the officers Of the company.
Here are few of the conclusions Of the
committee:
1t practically demands the removal
of President Alexander, Vice President
Hyde, and Second Vice President Tar
bell. 1t declares that every officer and
director of the company has profited
through the misuse Of the company's
funds. and demands that large amounts
be restored. Waste. extravaganza aud
negligence are the words used in appli-
cation to the manner of conduct
ing the offices of the concern. It
declares that millions of dollars have
been deposited in different institutions
for the personal use of certain officers
of the society. Misuse of funds, pri-
vate gain, vast extravagance. and cri-
minal populations are found ON all sides.
When the report was read three of
the leading fnanciers of the country.
Henry @. Frick. Corneliuss Bliss and
Jacob Schiff. engaged in bitter alter.

WILL TOMLISON MAKE GOOD?
Secretary of New Stock Organization

From Denver Post, May 81, 1905.
Has the new Live Stock Organization,
formed a few weeks ago to fight the
beef combine aud the railroads, secured
a representative of the Beef Trust to
fill one of its most important offices?

Accuse TOmlinsOn.

Siid a stockman to-day "Tomlinson
is hand and glove with both interests
and his selection would seem to mean
that the packers and railroads had
enough influence to force his appoint
ment. How it was done. if there was
any jobbery in connection with the
matter. those on the outside can't say. "
While working for the Chicago juno
ton Railway Company, of which John
A. Spoor is President, Tomlinson is al.
legged to have made the 81 terminal
charge, which has been roasted by
every big stockman in the country.
Tomlinson is regarded as one of the
best authorities on railroad rate MAX
ing in the country and his knowledge
of such matters would be of great use
to the American Stock Growers Asso-
citation in its fight for lower rates.
However, the fact that ne has been in
the employment of company owned
largely by the packers makes him lose
prestige in the eyes of certain stock
men.
The assertion is made that Tomlinson
will direct the attack of the new or
ganization against the railroads solely.
Meanwhile. it is said, the beef combine
will continue its work of oppression.

Peculiar State of Affairs.

A peculiar condition of affairs ex-
lists in Alpine county, California. A
man is accused Of murder and has
been indicted by the grand jury for
the crime, When his trial takes
place next month there will be only
City people in the county available
for jury duty. This panel could be
easily exhausted for cause even with
out the peremptory challenges which
the laws Of California provide for,
II the accused possesses shrewd
counsel he will have no difficulty IN
preventing the getting of a jury.
The law of that state does not allow
the district attorney the right of
change Of venue and the case cannot
be transferred upon the application
Of the prosecution to another court
and the alleged murderer will thus
90 scot free. Such a condition OF
affairs would be obyiated if the coun-
ties Of California lying east Of the
summit Of the Sierra were annexed
to Nevada, which IS not only earn.
estly desired by the people Of this
state, but by a majority Of the resi-

in an increase of population, which
would restore Alpine county to its
former hourishing condition, ever
il there were no redistricting Of the

The Ynlne sIInrc.

The best milk produced I'm the Unlteu
States, says G, n, Knapp, of the Wis
consln Station, as well ms the milk pro-
duced at the greatest net profit, is
milk produced from silage. The cows
producing this milk are, of course, not
fed exclusively on sllage, but it is be-
cause of the cheapness of silage and Of
the intrinsic value of sllage as a feed
that such milk can be produced and
produced so cheaply.
In the corn belt wi ere cattle are fin
ished for market anf men of long eX-
perience make business, or profess
sion, of producing beef, they find that
better beef, as well as more rapid
gains are obtained by feeding silage.
The steers are not fattened on silage,
but sllage is a very important supple
ment to the fattenlng ration. Sheep
are found to utilize sllage to good ad-
vantage; many feeders make silage
more than half the winter ration for
their sheep. Hogs and horses are also
fed silage to advantage.
Because of such facts as these, which
are becoming more and more apparent,
the interest in silage and silOs is grow
ing rapidly among farmers who appre-
ciate the necessity of cheaper ration
as we'll rs the Importance Of a succu-
lent food. Silage is coming to be re-
garded as an indispensable adjunct to
successful farming.

The Department of Agriculture has
in preparation farmers bulletin, the
advance sheets of which indicate a
number of instructive discussions.
In an article on "Grain Rations For
Animals" the statement is made that
it is better to use two or three kinds of
grain in making up ration than to
feed one exclusively, and the feeder
should always aim to prepare palatable
grain mixtures. Rations should also
be bulky, to avoid digestive disturb
ances Many feeders use from one
third to one-half wheat bran in order
to obtain the necessary bulk. Corn
silage and chopped hay constitute dilu.
tents or distributors of the heavy con-
centrates. Among tables given the fol-
lowing are selected:
1-One-third bran, one-half gluten
feed and One-siXth cottOnseed meal.
2-One-third bran, one-third cotton
seed meal and one-third corn meal.
3-One-half bran and one-half gluten
feed.
4-One-fourth malt sprouts, one
fourth mixed feed, one-half gluten
feed.
5--One-fifth malt sprouts. two-fifths
corn meal and two-ifths gluten feed.
G-One-third cottonseed meal, one
third -four middlings and one-thrd corn
meal.
7-One-half corn meal, one-fourth
cottonseed meal and one-fourth ont
mlddlings or rye feed.
Seven pounds is the usual quantity to
be fed daily to cows producing ten To
OIL MIX. The richer the
milk the more feed needed. Many
feeders find it economy to use but five
pounds of grain daily and feed maxi
mum amounts Of roughage.
