FEED WHEAT TO HORSES.
Interesting Experiments at the State Ex.
detrimental Station.

The director of the State Agricultur-
al Experiment Station at Pullman has
under consideration an experiment in
the feeding of wheat to work horses.
Feeding experiments conducted there
for the past ten years have shown in
the case of cattle and hogs that wheat
as feed yields the best results of any
of the cereals. A chemical analysis
of wheat shows very high percent
age of nutritive value. The world
has been drifting to wheat as the
great bread food for man, even the
most immovable of the older nations
gradually discarding rye and barley
as bread foods for wheat.
Oats and barley have in the Pacific
northwest been the traditional and
favorite feed for horses. Wheat has
been used somewhat, both alone and
in mixture, but there is a popular
fear of founder from it, and an idea
that it is too cheating" food. The
quantity of any food used is so per-
fectly under the control of the feeder
that it may well be doubted if this
objection is very serious. Difficult
ties of mastication and digestion, if
any exist, are also easily controlled
by food mixtures. In the case of hog
and cattle feeding such uniform and
such good results are gained that it
would seem unlikely that horses would
be peculiar in this respect. Custom
and prejudice go so much farther
than rational action based on scien.
tific data in such matters, that il
is well worth while to determine the
facts in the case. Just now oats are
worth 80 per cent. more on the market
than Red Russian wheat. The differ.
ence Is likely to be SO per cent. OF
more. Several times lately it has hap.
pened that there is greater or les.
differential in favor of wheat.
To be able to take advantage of thi.
in the vast quantity of feed consumed
by work horses, would be doubl,
profitable. First, there would be ;
great saving in the cost of feed. Sec
ond, there would be better marke
for wheat, particularly for light or off
grade wheat. A pound of wheat
little lighter than the test has pracLi
cally the same feeding values as o
; full test. Besides, it was shown il
the steer feeding experiment last win
ter, that wheat which had been we
, to the point of sprouting, when drie'
gave practically the same feedin
. value as when uninjured
Il The more the uses of wheat at HON

Y an accepted rule that five pounds G
ground wheat will, under favorabl
conditions, make one pound of porl
and also that wheat can be use

1t is fairly probable hat the vas
number of work horses on the farm
, in the towns and cities and on tn
- many construction lines for railway
and irrigation enterprises can us
wheat as the foundation, and the larl
est part of the ration. To get exae
data on this point and thus promot
the interests of both consumer an
producer, is the object of the project
ed experiment at Pullman. The r,
suits of the experiments will be mad
public later.

MAYOR THoMPsoN's MESSAGE.

The annual message of Mayor
Thompson contains little of interest or
Importance. It's feebleness goes to show
the truth of The Herald's Often-made
contention that Mr.. Thompson is per
sonally a mighty entertaining, whole
sOuled fellow, but he simply will not
devote any time to a study of munich
pal conditions. The message does not
read as though any time at all had been
age intelligence could have written one
more comprehensive. one that showed
d better idea of city affairs.
We note with some satisfaction the
mayors recommendation for a continu-
ance of the waterworks improvements
inaugurated under the Democratic ad-
ministration. The executive practically
comedies that the Morris plan is the
only available one and he urges that
the work be completed at the earliest
possible moment, though he suggests
that due care be exercised in the ex-
penditure of the funds.
This last recommendation, if we may
Judge the future by the immediate
past, will be met with amusement in
the council. The only object of that
body seems now to be to spend the
money, regardless Of what the city gets
for it. This is evidenced by the profit
gate manner in which salaries are be-
ing raised and changes made in the Big
Cottonwood conduit for the benefit Of
a favored contractor.
Mayor ThompsOn's recommendation
that steps be made to force sewer con-
nectiOns in the sewer districts is a good
one, but it lacks the merit of original
ity. The same thing is true regarding
his other recommendations except those
regarding additional help and increased
pay for city officers. He is very care
full to put himself on record as being in
favor Of all of them.

Governor Wells declaration is interest
ing only as proving his own presence
at banquet with the men who wrought
his defeat and danced on his grave
while it was fresh. And in that, it
showed the governor was still banker
ing for the fesh-pots of public life and
has not altogether given UP hope of the
toga which once allured him to his I'M
doing.
Finally, the banquet was even more
significant for it's absences than for it's
attendance. Senator Kearns was not
there, Ezra Thompson was away, David
Keith was absent, Frank Knox forgot
to be present, H. G. Mcmillan was too
far to reach with oratory, Willard Sny-
der was too busy to go. All the Amer
leans who were wont to furnish the
steam for Republican campaigns in
days gone by were omitted from the
invitation list. Counting by votes, there
were more absent Republicans by about
ten thousand, than there were present.
All the oratory, the senatorial letters,
the brass bands and flowers and food,
could not conceal the division in the
ranks which has shorn the party of its
strongest men.
Truly, it was no feast at all; only
weird, uncanny semblance of a Repub-
Iican celebration, where dirges and
funeral baked meats, crepe and rue
would have been the fitting accompani-
ments.

CT. VALENTINES DAY.

st. Valentines day with its pretty
customs has come around again, and if
the sale of tokens by the local mer-
chants may be taken as an indication
the day will be observed in Salt Lake
even more freely than usual 1t is
pleasant to note one fact about this OBJ
servance. That is the decreased sale
Of alleged comic valentines The day
of the comic seems to have passed en-
tirely, the time gone by when atrocious
pictures and more atrocious rhymes
can pass as wit.
It is difficult now to understand the
wide popularity reached by the comic
valentines. People who ordinarily We're
possessed of, some of the elements of
decency had a habit Of insulting their
friends-and their enemies-with these
sheets. Nobody who received a comic
valentine was supposed to become an
CRY at it, but few could repress en-
tirely a feeling of indignation, a feeling
that they had been offered an affront.
The other way is far better. st. Val
entine's day should be given over en-
tirely to the lovers, even as the good
saint was the lovers patron. Many a
bashful youth has been helped out
nightly in his counting with a creation
in paper lace and gay colors, with a
rhyme something like this neatly
printed on a heart:
"As sure as the sun and stars do shine,
You are my little valentine"
or words to that effect.
Valentines of the dainty character
are not transmitted except between
those who have a real affection for one
another. Of course, therefore, Senator
Smoot VIII send a beauty to former
Senator Kearns, and the latter viii re-
spond in kind. There viii likewise be
exchanges between Marshal Spry and
ex-Marshal Haywood, Senator Suther-
land and our morning contemporary,
and so on along the line.

EQUAL TAXATION.

Mcconnell, the gentleman who ap-
pointed himself president Of the anti
taxation league, has apparently drop
ped out Of the game. The people re-
fused to tag along behind procession
headed by one Of the most notorious
political shysters that ever buncoed
Idaho voters, and even equal taxation
wasn't sufficient bait to cause a STAN
pede. There is really plenty of room
for honest tax reform in our state, and
the people will be glad to see any in
qualities remedied. But this fact will
not cause the voters to loose their
heads entirely. The News favors equal
taxation, and has many times pointed
out needed changes. Mines and rail-
roads must not be favored to the de;ri-
ment Of farmers and other citizens.
There must be square deal. But we
are not ready to bolt the republican
party, at least not until that party has
refused to do its duty. If there is any
thing wrong let the republicans go into
the primaries and conventions, and
there write in the party platform a
plank, strong and clear, pledging the
party to equal taxation, and then nom
mate men, not only willing, but
able, to 60 to the state legislature and
work for and pass equal taxation laws.
The record OF the republican party
in Idaho, during the past two years, is
a sufficient guarantee that any pledges
made or promises given, will be faith
fully performed.
But the above plan is not warranted
to land w. J. Mcconnell in a fat office
nor supply pie to any Of his crowd, and
for that reason is not likely to meet
with their approval. But it will give
the people the desired relief and for
that reason will succeed.

WHO SHOULD HAVE 1T?

The announcement is made that
Congressman French will not leave his
work in Washington until Congress ad-
iourns, even though a campaign,
involving his reelection is now on
hand. This is certainly showing the
proper spirit. For four years Burton
L. French has served this state as its
representative in the lower house, and
the people ought to be able to decide,
from his record, whether or not they
desire to retain him. The case in
wolves but one question: Has Mr..
French, as congressman, done his
work as well as the state has right to
expect9 If he has he is entitled to
reelection. If not, and some other
man can do the work better, and can
more for Idaho, then elect
the better man. But let Mr.. French
be treated fairly and honorably. The
people owe him that much. Those
demanding his defeat must point out
another man would have ac-
complshed more, and show plainly
where Mr.. French has fallen short of
his opportunities. If this cannot be
done what is the state to profit by
sending a new and untried man to

TIME TO QUIT.

There is something grimly humor-
GUS in national policy which puts a
heavy tariff upon foreign-made goods in
order to protect the American laborer,
thus bringing up the cost of commod-
tiles consumed at home, while at the
same time ship loads of cheap foreign
labor are brought into this country to do
the manufacturing. Is not the cheap i'm
migrant as Objectionable as his wares?
America undoubtedly needs immigra-
ton of the right sort-the kind that will
adopt a proper standard OF living, but it
is unfair to expect the American laborer
to bring up family in accordance with
American ideals and at the same time
compete with the European laborer who
has been educated to desire nothing bet
ter than hut, loaf Of black beard and
a bowl of soup. Our immigrant laws are
at present inconsistent with the high tariff
upon necessities, and it is evident that
both need readjustment if they are to
work for the benefit of the many instead
OF the few. There was time when the
infant industries" of this country need
ed protection-and they still need
certain amount of it, but most of
these industries Of years ago are man.
moth trusts now. They have long ago
ceased to wear kits and need a re-
straining halter more than they do

A democratic paper of Boise says:
"Gooding is dead one." This may
be taken as positive evidence that the
republicans will again carry Idaho by
an overwhelming majority, and Frank
R. Gooding will head the state ticket.
Did you ever know of a democratic
political prophecy to come true?
Think of i'll The democrats have
predicted failure and ruin for half a
century, but the only time anything
serious happened was when the demo
Gratis happened to get in control of the
government. Even after fifty years of
failure you can't convince some demo-
Gratis that they are not bowling sue
cess at the prophet business.

When somebody or organization as
sassinated Ex-Governor Steunenberg
was it the duty of Governor Gooding
to use all possible means within, his
power to ferret out the criminals and
aid in their conviction? 1t certainly
was. Then consider the contemplate
efforts Of those who are trying to
make political capital of the dreadful
affair, that they may ride into office.
But neither decent democrats nor
respectable republicans will sanction
this sort of rot, and the more this
charge is pressed against the governor
the more certain will be his re-elec-
ton.
