Attention Feeders!

1t is to the interest Of every feeder in
this state to know the exact condition
of the feeds he is using. We are paying
annually over five million dollars for
concentrated feeds and of these not one
pound is being bought under a state
guarantee. The stockmen and feeders
who are interested in knowing what
their animals are eating should join in
making a thorough investigation of the
present state of the feeding stuff bust
ness.
BY concentrated feeding stufs is
meant any article of commerce used for
feeding stock except continental foods,
hays and straws, whole seeds and I'M
mixed meals made directly from the
seed of wheat, rye, barley, oats, Indian
corn, buckwheat, or broom corn, and
feed ground from whole grain and sold
directly from manufacturer to consumer.
Thoroughly mix the feed you are US
ing and take about a teacup full for
analysis. Place the teacup full of feed
in a paper sack. In the sack place a
card upon which is written the name of
the feed, the name of the manufacturer
the name Of the dealer from whom you
purchased it, your own name and the
price you paid for the feed.
Send the samples direct to Chemical
Section, Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa.
Only those samples sent by feeders
will receive attention. The results of
this investigation with all analyses and
datawill be published and distributed for
the instruction of all feeders and deal
ers throughout the state.
Yours truly,
CHARLES f. CURTISS,

AS usual ! suppose you all had a
merry Christmas and wish you happy
Jew year. Our Christmas was also a
merry one; "old Santa" found us all,
even away out here. There was union
Christmas tree at the school house and
all enjoyed the exercises.
With the exception of one or two
storms early in the fall, this has been
the finest fall and winter | ever saw.
Land here is on the boom and is
changing hands good deal. A great
many that lived on their claims have
proved up and are selling out, as they
were only holding it for speculation.
Claims are selling as high as $4,000 and
go quick for that. The ones that are,
coming in now are coming to stay.
We have fine school. Over fifty
scholars enrolled. Also have Sunday
school and church every Sunday. The
country has progressed rapidly and
does not seem like new country to us.
Milo has bought half interest in the
large general store here SO we are quite
busy now as just he and l are alone in
it, and as the post Office is also in one
part Of it, and am assistant post mas
ter, so we have all we can do.
Zena hasn't missed a day of school
since it began in September, but Eliza
was sick two days. The rest of the
time we have all been in the best of
health.
There is good prospects Of a railroad
through this country in short time.
Stock is all doing nice and look well
and are still running on the range.
Have not had to feed them much yet.
We are still we'll pleased with: this
country and have no regrets that We
came. Yours respectfully,
MRS. MILO MOORE.

Saturday night between J. II. Alldredge
of Leon, and Lewis Andrew, of Grand
River, was won by Andrew. Under the
terms of the match Alldredge had agreed
to throw Andrew six times in forty
minutes. He threw him five times in
thirty-three minutes, but Andrew
managed to keep away from him in the
next round until time was called. There
was a large crowd present and the
match is said to have been good one.
Young Andrew is only % years old, and
has had no experience as professional
wrestler, but Alldredge says he is one
of the strongest and quickest men he
ever went against.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Will be About Half as Long as the
Presidents.

Des Moines Capital Governor
Cumins' message to the coming legisla.
ture will be about half as long as that
of President Roosevelt, recently sent
to congress. The governor is now rap
idly getting his message into form and
expects that it will about fill news
paper page ofseven columns. He intends
to follow out his custom Of reading it in
person to joint session of the legisla-
ture and it will require about two hours
to complete the document. For that
purpose the senate and house will
probably meet in joint session in the
house chamber the morning of January
8, or else early that afternoon.
1t is known that the governor will
discuss at a considerable length in this
message the enactment of a statewide
| primary election law and will outline
the provision Of bill on which he will
attempt to make an issue. Antipass
legislation will also be strongly urged
by the governor and he may recommend
giving more power to the state railroad
commission. A single board of control
for state educational institutions is
also expected to meet with the favor of
the governor in his message, but he
may not go into details as to its organi-
Zation. A child labor law and pure
food law are also to be urged by The
governor.
In the line of State Auditor CAROLS
recommendation that the insurance laws
of the state be revised, the governor
will ask the Legislature to take up this
subject. He may also make some de-
finite suggestions for new insurance
legislature and his discussion of that
topic will be eagerly watched by insur.
ance companies of the state.
