The British market does not discrim-
mate against heifers ~ the American
market does. In fact. 1t pays a slight
premium for them, claiming that they
have more f1esh In proportion to bone
and finer flesh than steers have, says
National Stockman. /.
That a part OF the discrimination
against heifers Ia u~nwarranted the

finishing steers and heifers, selling

was found that while the steers, killed
sfightly better there was not enough
difference to Justify the premium Of a
dollar per hundredweight alive, at
which they sold. Based on the returns
made by the dressed carcass and the
b~yproducts, the relative prices were;
Steers, SOL per hundredweight: spray
ed heifers. $5.37 per hundredweight,
and open heifers, $5.32 per hundred
weight. No material difference was
found in the quality of steer and heifer
beef.

Value Of Slaughter House Byprod-
ucts as stock Feeds.
Three general classes of these by
products are used successfully as feed
ing ~stuffs-yiz, blood meal or dried
blood, tankage and meat scrap and
meat meal. lays Rural New Yorker.
dDried blood or blood meal lis made
from the blood OF cattle, sheep and
hogs. The blood is conveyed in pans
from the killing room to the drying
room, where il Ia cooked in small tanks
until the clot separates from the water.
1t Is mex pressed to remove the water.
aud the pressed cake Is dried In a
steam drler until 1t contains only about
o per cent OF moisture. Then it is
ground to a fine meal and sold in hun
dred pound sacks.
Dried blood has been successfully fed
to lambs In place OF milk by German
experimenters. They fed about half a
pound daily for a hundred pounds live
weight Of animal. 1t has also been
used with good results Ur curing and
preventing scours In calves. The value
OF this feed and OF those made from
tankage and meat scrap lies In their
muscle and bone building properties.
When properly fed they have a stimu-
lating effect on the hair. making the
coat silky and glossy. They are valued
according to their content Of protein
and should be bought only on a guar
antee OF specified protein content.
Tankage consists OF meat scraps,
trimmings. bone. blood ms various
other waste heterogeneous matter from
the packing house. 1t IL cooked In
large tanks under a steam pressure OF
about forty pounds for seven or eight
hours. which cooks out the taliow and
grease. 1t IL then allowed to settle. and
the grease Is drawn OF. The solid resi-
due Is then pressed further to remove
the fat and moisture. 1t Is next dried
and ground. When dried 1t contains
only 0 to 7 per CEN moisture and from

Selby Record Gives Account
of Details of Walworth
County Seat Fight.

The contest instituted by Selby
and Bangor on the county seat
question resulted the first Of the
week in an order from the circuit
court favorable to Selby and the
issuance of an execution, which was
placed in the hands Of the sheriff,
who, Tuesday and Wednesday,
removed the records and county pro
perty to Selby. Without desiring
to refer nor than necessary to an
irritating subject, the Record will
state that no contest would have been
constituted had il not been known
that the desire Of go per cent and
considerable more Of the voters Of
the county did not receive a free
expression at the polls, and that the
means employed by the opposition
10 prevent this free expression JUST
fed and warranted the opponents of
Selby in seeking any redress that
the law allowed them. Conse-
quently when sufficient evidence had
been collected the contest notice was
served personally upon all members
Of the board OF county commissioners
who, in view OF the fact that the law
did not compel them to make nswer
and saddle an expensive suit upon
the county, refused TO make answer
and left a copy OF the notice Of con
test with the county auditor. This
procedure allowed any individual
then TO make any defense, with the
consent of the court. Although the
adherents Of Bangor had due infor-
nation OF the contest on the 18th,
no action had been taken by them to
answer by the 18th, and judgment
by default was taken and the county
property moved as before stated.
The procedure was not as the
Selbyites had anticipated, for it was
expected that Athe case would be
fought to a finish and that the evi.
dence collected would have to be
presented in full to maintain the
contention made. BY appear
ance Of the opposition the case was
disposed of without further friction,
and it is to be hoped that the moi
dent is closed and that the embit-
tered feeling caused by the county
seat fights OF four years ago and the
last election will soon die away.
The promises made by Selby pre-.
vious to election will be kept to the
letter and no expense will be put on

the property or the furnishing 81

year, when the harvests are all over

over the ABUNDANCE of their stores
and it is right they should. But
there is a more significant meaning
one of greater Importance, and that
is it is day set apart especially for
irving expression of gratitude to the
Great Give, of all gifts, the Lord
and in our festive hours, we should
not forget to render unto Him fit

the day, but those who fail to attend
need not forget the meaning of the
day, or neglect to give thanks unto
the Lord.

spirit of the critic is usually his own

ones self against others because they
do not the things one may think
ought to be done. The criticism
made by some of the city admins
tration is not meant for the improve
ment of conditions. but is made in
the lone of dcmoralizing IT, and, if
possible, to overthrow it that others
may take up the reins of government
and bring about conditions that Will

critics to offer in place of the things
they are displeased with? Have
they made a single suggestion, or
have they even attempted to make
such suggestion? The fact that
they have not is evidence sufficient
that their purpose is not one intend
cd to benefit the people.

MALICE PROMPTS NEWS,

If the News would but familiar

as a basis for berating city officers.
it might not fall into the habit oil

sensations, though there are but few

slightest degree, and especially do
not those who know it best.
For instance, the chief of police
is berated for something, which Is
pronounced false by at least two or
three persons besides himself. lie
denies and is supported by these
men, whose veracity has never been
a matter of dispute or question, that
he took any prisoner from a con-
stable or other state officer. Nor
did he rush any prisoner off to an
attorney, and he says he protected
none such from the law, though he.
may have seen that such prisoner had
fair play, considering the stories of
blackmail that had come to his ear.

grom does not here undertake to say
they are true for the simple reason

Fhe arrest of the negro. whether
affected or not by the officer

because it is believed that he merits

should officers he berated, when the
criminal is under arrest and serving

demned because of such facts, even
il a crime happens, which they do
not personally see and are assisted by
Others to find the criminal?
