Gov. Bell Does Not seek a denomination.

Friends Of Gov. Charles J. Bell make
no secret of the governors own frank
declaration to them that he is not, has
not been, and will not be a candidate for
denomination for the governorship. and
that he is in no way connected with any
political combination to put a candidate
in the field against Fletcher D. Proctor
or anybody else If any such combination
actually exists
OF course Gov. Bell is not unmindful
OF the proprieties Of his official station,
and is not to be reckoned upon either one
way or the other in the coming campaign,
anyway. One of his friends is authority
for the statement that the governor would
have made some public announcement Of
this fact in the press but that he was
unwlling to rush into print to deny what
was on the face OF it plainly enough to
thoughtful men nothing but u ridiculous
rumor.
1t is in the air. too, as coming from
reliable sources, that DR.. w. Seward
Webb will not be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the governor
ship next year. and it appears that pres
ent-day plans Of the politicians do
not reckon upon the doctor as a prob

Prof. J. c. Mosher Conducting Soil
Survey in the State-meCuIloch
Talks Of Good Roads.

Highly instructive addresses were
heard this morning at the annual meet
ing OF the Rock Island County Farm
ers' Institute in Port Byron. Frank II
Hall OF Aurora was the first 10 speak
and there is no question that muc4
good will result from his address
which dealt with education in agricul
ture. The parents were urged by him
TO bring their children TO fun know
ledge OF the things il Is their oppor-
tunity to know in this day in connec.
tion with scientific agriculture. Sim
pie are many of the things that are OF
great value. such as the reading of the
bulletins with understanding. Mr.. Hall
turned his audience temporarily into
a school. showing the farmers how
they in turn might see that their child
rem are properly instructed.
Professor ). q. Moshrr.
The remainder of the morning was
taken up by Prof j. G.. Mosher of the
Unive rsity of Illinois, whose remarks
were measured with great value. Prof
Mosher is conducting a soil survey in
this state and has covered 1G counties.
The condition OF the soil 20 a depth of
40 inches is determined on every 10
acres. and by this work his address up
on the subject. Physical Improvement
of the Soil" is received as so much
valuable information He impressed
upon his hearers the point that thew
must learn the deficiencies of their
soil before they can fertilize il accord
ing to any system. Much fertilizer
Is scattered without any knowledge OF
the soils needs and thus become tina;
much material wasted His soil sur
veys are TO continue until the state is
covered. which will probably be done
years hence. but when such a time
comes the farmer will have something
of great value al this time when land
prices are high and the agriculturalist
must get the most there is in his soil.
This afternoon Supt. Ferguson. Prof.
Smith of Port Byron, and C. ID. Nc

institute. Last evening the quarters

season is not warranted. The profits OF
feeding ear corn are fully twice as
large as those secured in feeding corn
meal or corn and cob meal.
The feeding of silage in moderate
quantities is not necessarily conducive
10 heavy shrinkage in shipping or small
percentages of dressed beef. Do not
conclude that since the feeding of sill
age was not followed with as large
profits as the feeding of several other
ratiOns. that il has no place in beef
production Its use in growing young
cattle and as a part of the ration of the
breeding herd promises well in the
hands of the experienced feeder. but
TO just what extent it may be profitably
used for these purposes remains to be
determined by future investigations.
Many who advocate the feeding of
ear corn 10 cattle if hogs follow. advo-
cate the feeding of meal if for any
reason il seems desirable to eliminate
the hog. After eliminating the hog
from the cattle feeding operations here
presented the feeding of broken ear
corn was followed with larger profits
than the feeding of meal.
Since the profits in feeding shock
CIR fodder corn and ear corn are ap-
nroximately the same, the speaker is
inclined to favor the feeding of ear
corn in preference to fodder corn be
cause in feeding fodder corn one is
sometimes obliged to get on the land
when it is too wet This statement ap
plies especially to seasons of the year
when bad weather is likely to prevail.
While the results of this experiment
show that it does not pay to grind corn
for winter feeding it should not be as
sumed that it does not pay to grind
corn for cattle that are being fattened
in summer on grass.

I speaker of the afternoon. His subject
was How to Get the Most Out of q
! Bushel of Corn in Cattle Feeding" Mr.
Mumford started with the intention OF
considering this from four standpoints
that of preparation of the corn, the
grade of cattle, age as a factor. and
care and management. Time prevent
ed his giving consideration of any
length to the subject except under the
first head In this connection he de
tailed the result of an experiment made
al the state school to demonstrate this
particular point Ten carloads of cat
tie were bought in the Chicago market
for feeding purposes. and they were
evenly divided into 10 lots with equal
advantages. One pen was fed with
ensilage as the principal ration, one
with shock corn, two with ear corn,
two with cob meal. two with shelled
corn meal, and two with shelled com.
Gluten or oil meal or both were fed
also except in one case and clover hay
was the forage. Summarized. Mr.. Mum
ford drew the following conclusions:
For profit TO the cattle feeder the
three rations giving best returns rank
ed as follows: Ear corn supplemented
with oil meal and gluten meal; shock
Or fodder corn and ear com; and ear
corn without supplement. clover hay
being fed in all the lots. The profits
n these lots, ?. 3. and s, were SO near
" alike that the conclusion that the
feeding of any of these ratiOnS would
De followed by larger profits than the
feeding Of the others would be unwar-
ranted.
The three rations giving smallest net
profits were shelled corn mud lott,
corn and cob meal. corn meal ebay
chaffedD. In each of these instances
the corn part of the ration was supple
mented with oil meal and gluten meal.
The cost per pound of gain on the
steers varied with the different meth
DDS of feeding from SO TO 10 cents PEI
pound.
There was a difference of 20 cents
per hundred weight in the marketable
finish of the various lots.
The net profit varied from S413 to

sary for coming out even. The meth
DDS involving least labor requiring
margin of approximately s1.00 per hun

hose requiring a maximum amount OF
labor require a margin of about S1.5C

former method are not as a rule in as
desirable condition as those fed by
more complex methods, hence, the lat

The results of this experiment are
so striking that it appears that tn,

If every farmer in Illinois would fol

yesterday afternoon. all the dirt roads
in the state would be made as smooth
as brick pavement within an hour
and a half when conditions become
right for the use OF the split log drag.
Mr.. McCulloch did not cali upon all
the people of the state TO act. but he
did appeal TO the people of Rock IS

TO dry out after the next rain let him
hitch a team 10 il and go over the road
toward town TO the gate of his next
neighbor. II is safe TO say that the
work would be done in an hour and a
half and all the roads in the county
would be repaired"
Mr.. McCulloch spoke from expert
ence. he having recently made and
used one of the drags and he stated
that the results came up TO his highest
expectations. Not only did he advo
cate this implement as a smoother for
the highways, but he said ii could be
made TO take the place of the heavy
and awkward road grader. Where a
road has been made and il is only ne
cessary to repair and smooth il. he de
clared one man with a drag and four
horses will do as much work as two
men with six horses on a $500 grader.
With the assistance of a pillow he be-
lieved that roads could be entirely
graded.
How Drag Was Made.
Mr.. McCullOch made his drag after
the plan recently given in The Argus,
the log used being II inches in diam
eter and 10 feet long. He placed them
three feet apart and operated at
slant so that the cutting end was IS
inches ahead of the other end After
going once along each side of the road
he hitched in the middle of the drag
and went back and forth once in the
middle of the path to finish up the job
Bad roads help to drive the boys and
girls from the farm to the city. said
the speaker. and therefore the split log
drag if properly used will be power
full agent in keeping them on the farm.
as there any danger in riding on
this thing?" asked H. B. Carpenter, OF
Not unless the farmer takes his
corn in liquid FORM" came the quick
reply. Mr.. McCulloch then went on to
say that if the drag is heavy he believ
ed that there was little danger of its
overturning if it should strike an i'm
movable obstruction. 1t would stall!
