BUYING DAIRY FEEDS.
the Amerinan CnltlNator.

From the American Cultivator.
 The cattle feed question is handled with out gloves by Prof. J. B. Lindsey in his bulletin No. 10S of the Massachusetts ex- pertinent station A long list of analyses is given, showing the results from vari- ous samples obtained from feed and sup ply stores throughout the state The un- satisfactory results secured from Nari- ous ready mixed foods causes the writer to ask the following questions:
 Gan you afford to buy attractively named stock foods. consisting of oat offal mixed with more or less corn-freauently of inferior quality-when clear corn or hominay meal can be had for the same money?
 Isn't 1t more economical for you to buy standard concentrates and mix your own grain rations. rather than purchase uncertain mixtures, and at the same time pay somebody else for doing the mix ing?"
 Professor Lindsey evidently believes that no improvement can be made on the standard grains and byproducts bought in their pure unmixed condition. and with thls conclusion the average dairy man who has tried both plans will no doubt be inclined to agree.
 Speaking of the various byproducts, the comments are of interest Thus blood meal is reckoned twice strong as high grade cotton seed meal as d source of protein. and is considered beneficial for hard worked horses or even as a part of the daily rations for cows. also as a rem edy for SCOUTS in calves. Cotton seed meal, thinks Professor Lindsey. should be sold on the basis of it's percentage of protein.
 Certainly there is much difference be- tween the value of SS per cent and

next days churning. Then it becomes necessary to use a starter.
 The starter Is simply ripened milk of some kind. When it Is added to cream, and well stirred in, the germs began to grow rapidly and in this way ripening is brought about. The starter most often used Is buttermilk. This will do if the butter of that churning was of good flavor. If the butter was off in flavor buttermilk should not be used. A better method Is to take skim milk as soon as f is separated. set 1t in can. and raise the temperature to 150 degrees Keep it at this temperature for ten or fifteen minutes. then cool down. and add to it ten Or fifteen per cent of buttermilk, and keep 1t we'll covered. at temperature of 60 to 65 degrees. This Is used for next days cream.
 The amount of starter depends upon the condition of the cream temperature of cream. and length of time the cream has to stand. Generally from eighteen to twenty hours are required for cream to ripen. Ripened cream has a very fine granular appearance, and slightly acid taste.

Celebrating Famous Prayer Meeting.
Prom Leslie's Weekly.

One hundred years ago next summer, probably the most famous prayer-meeting ever held in this country was held on the grounds of farmer adjacent to Williams College, Willianistown, Mass. It was held by five students. They were auerying what they could do for the benefit of mankind. A thunderstorm occurred and took refuge under a haystsck and contin- ued the meeting Seemingly the students alone, for the time being. knew of the meeting For years the place was un- marked and the event uncommemorated. But those students originated the foreign missionary movement in this country for the benefit of all lands and peoples. Sub sequently Williams College acquired the property named it Mission Park and erected a monument commemorative of the great result. It consists of a shaft of granite twelve feet in height. bearing a globe three feet in diameter, representing the world. The legend on the shaft is. "The Birthplace of American Foreign
 Missions" Underneath are the names of

SPRING GOSSIP IN THE
 FASHIONABLE WORLD
The Modsh Woman Must Possess "Sunhower" ParaSoI
 Perched on Long Slender Stems.

Must I carry a sunf1ower parasol9' is a question that the smart woman is ask ing. Women who know the importance of the little things" have accepted the new decree that parasols must be small eye shades they call them in Paris. They are described as about the size of full grown sunnowers and are perehed on long. slender stems, absurd things, but fashion can be as absurd as she wants to-it makes little difference.
 Here is what a Paris authority says Of the new parasol:
 The sunshade is so ingeniously made that the sunfower part of 1t can be folded up so that 1t loses it's parasol identity and becomes fan as far as ap- pearances go.
 Of course it Is made of the finest lace and silks. Paquin has endorsed 1t, and the extremely fashionable cannot afford to appeal from that decree.
 Among the prominent American women who have promptly adopted the novelty Is Mrs. George Herbert Winsow She is one of the leading spirits in the Ameri- 0uH tOlODg dDu Ol tOuISft VIII nave Iiu- merous followers She Is a daughter of Captain and Mrs. Duncan of Cleveland, O.. and a niece of the late President Me- Kinley. Mrs. Winslow is always a model of the latest elegance, and so when she goes out for her daily drive with one of the "sunnowers' in full bloom that Is enough to brand 1t as eminently proper.
 These parasos have already been nick named "eye shades" because of their lili- putian dimensions It is manifest that those who have had the courage to adopt them have had careful drill in manipula- ton, for they manage them in identically the same fashion. whether to give the artistic "cut" wave a graceful welcome or pose in a studied figure of boredom.

 Agricultural News.
 For the past four weeks l have been working our lines between St Louis and Memphis, up the river route, where the weather during this time has been very bad. Farmers are very much delayed in all their farm work throughout this section. Nothing Is planted yet not even a garden. No oats have been sown and very little land has been plowed Tor corn and cotton. The early potato crop VII be almost abandoned as it IS now past the planting season in this section.
 There is quite an acreage of wheat Tn this section but much of 1t is now under water and unless the rains stop soon u will be a clear loss Recently was at Charlottesville, Mo-, where it poured down rain all day. All this great valley here is as fertile as the Nile. but It IS a question of how to get clear of so much water However, the time may come when this water will be put under con trol. The timber is being cut and shipped out and when it is gone the people Will have to look to other sources for reve- nue.
 When with a densar population there is no doubt that more drainage and storage canals will be made and the water put under control When this IS done this section will produce a large line of farm crops.
 There are a number of large mills on this line and the millers here, as else where. complain that farmers are allow ing their corn and wheat to run down to such 8 poor quality that 1t is impos- sible for them to make good meal or flour. One miller said that for years he had been having a great trade in the south on meal and that he had been com plimented on it's quality but now the farmers have gotten their corn mixed with yellow corn that his customers were beginning to complain. The milllers are very glad to have me come into their territory and are doing much to help me in trying to get the farmers to grow better grain. I think much good along this line is being accomplished.
 My meetings in this part of the country are well attended.

PEACHES GROWN ON SOD LAND.

From the American Fruit
 In proof of his assertions that peaches grown by the sod method taste better and are of better keeping quality Mir II. M. Stringfelow of Lampassas, Tex, on July IT, 1905, shipped to the editor of American Fruits d basket of Elberta peaches from an orchard in Texas with instructions to keep the fruit in a cool place not on ice, and note the length of time that it would keep in perfect con- ditlon. The peaches were sent by ex- press in the primary way Of sending ex- press packages, and arrived on the even ing of July 22. All were r1pe and ready to eat at that time. Some of the highly colored and fully developed, perfect spe- ciments were eaten at once. others were rewrapped in tissue paper and again in

On August g. two weeks after their arrival and nearly three weeks after ship ment, the remainder of these peaches were eaten and were found to be in as perfet condition as were the first of the lot. Those who have purchased baskets of peaches for canning and have found them in deteriorated condition a day or two afterwdrd if canning was delayed, will appreciate what the keeping quality of Mr. Stringfellow's peaches means.

4S per cent meal Even at the advanc- ing prices cotton seed is pronounced one of the cheapest sources of protein Gluten feed is commended for it's dgestibility and is declared one of the best feeds for milk production at prices usually prevailing Certain makes of distlllers' dried grains are pronounced free from the burned, smoky odor. This odor is accompanied by taste in some products, which no doubt occasionally affects the flavor of the milk when made largely from this feed. Various samples of wheat middlings and wheat flour are criticised as containing too much ground hulls, weed seeds corn, etc. Speaking of ready mixed grains, Professor Lindsey pointed ly asks, Twill you buy your concentrates and mix them yourself, or hire somebody to do it for you?'
 The new molasses feeds have been sell ing in great quantities of late. Buck wheat feeds are pronounced of rather an inferior character. Rye feed was pro- nounced worth about the price asked. The leading kind of patent calf meal was found composed of llnseed, cotton seed meals cereals. carob bean and genugreek and pronounced a satisfactory milk sub stitute for robust calves. Among the poul- try feeds, granulated milk was pro nounced probably similar in feeding value to animal meal, costing about the same. Dried ground fish had somewhat lower feeding value than the better grades of animal meat The various prepared poul- try feeds, scratching grains, clover meals. etc, were considered rather high in price in proportion to their feeding value

KEEPING 1000 HENS.

From the American Faneier.
 The average cost of feeding a hen for a year-one dollar-woud make the out lay Or expenditure for food one thousand dollars per year. If the hens each pro- dueed one hundred and twenty-five eggs and these eggs sold for a cent and a half apiece, there would be eighty-seven cents made on each hen. If these hens could be so handled as to produce one hundred and fifty eggs each per year, there would be one dollar and twenty four cents made on each hen. If these same hens could be induced to lay one hundred and sixty eggs per year. you would have a profit of almost one dollar and half from each hen. Therein is the secret of success in keeping hens for producing eggs for market. We read so much of the flocks that produce two hum dred eggs each. We know for fact that there have been many hens that have produced two hundred eggs each and over: but there have been few instances where large hocks of thousands have been kept that have exceeded very much the average of one hundred and thirty eggs each.
 It is within the possibilities 10 have large flocks of hens that will produce on ar average Of one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty eggs each. and We know of some breeders who can han de large fiocks and do better than this; but when speaking of the probabilities Of the market egg business, we must give the average and not the exception to the rule. Any one that can gain over one hundred and twenty-five eggs from each hen per year, if good managers, can make more thap a living from thousand hens; but you must be up and doing and caring for them, as they should be cared for, if you expect to make a profit. Neglect ed hens never do well either summer or winter. and those who hope to make money from hens should make up their mind before they embark in the business that they must be industrious, careful and alert, and ever willing to do all the necessary work

A row occurred among four men at the
corner of Sd and X streets southwest last
night between and 10 O'Clock, and two OF
the participants had to be taken to the
Emergency Hospital for treatment. One of
them Is George Jordan, twenty-five years
of age, whose home is at 10 Quander
street southeast and the other is Antonio
Remus. The former Is suffering from a
knife wound of the hip and the latter COM
planned of an injury to his head. He ex-
planned that the hurt was inflicted with a
brick thrown by Raymond Harris. coiored,
who is employed as driver of a garbage
wagon. At the hospital the physicians
found that he was suffering from concus-
sion of the brain and that his condition is
serious.
Jordan claims that he was attacked by
three men and says the brick that struck
Remus was intended for him. The police
Of the fourth precinct learned of the affair
and several Of the men were sent out to
make an investigation. Detective Weldon
was sent from headquarters to work upon
the case. 1t was stated fourth man,
known as Horse was in the party, but
the police were not told that he took an
active part in the affair. They were in

wound in his hip, was standing on the cor

started the trouble.
When Remus reached the Emergency
Hospital his condition appeared to be seri-

that he would probably recover. Descrip-
