| University lnVestlgatioh'
The legislative university lnVesti-
! eating committee continues it's sit
tings. Burton NJ. Parson head OF the
Parsons Printing and Stationery
company, Of Madison, who was the
first witness called, testified that Sec
rotary f. F. Reilly, of the board Of
regents of the university was stock
holder in his company until last fall
and that while Mr.. Reilly was stock
holder the Parsons company COM
peted with other printing companies
for university printing contracts and
secured some of them Members OF
the investigating committee say that
from all Of the evidence that they can
secure, the Parsons company Sc
cured its contracts as the lowest bid
der in an open competition, and that
no complaint has been filed with 1t
by any printer against the contract
awards. Former Gov w d. Hoard, OF
Fort Atkinson, appeared before the
committee and was questioned re-
garding the general standing among
agriculturists of Prof. w. l.. Carlyle,
formerly superintendent OF animal
husbandry at the university and now
at the college of agriculture of Colo
RADIO. The gist of Gov. Hoard's testi
mony was that Prof. Carlyle was not
generally considered such an emf
nent and reliable authority on live
stock problems as some Of his ad-
mirers and followers believed him to
be. Copies of Hoards Dairyman were
presented TO show that the former
governor frequently differed with
Prof. Carlyle on important live stock
matters. Bulletins containing the re-
suits of Prof. Carlyle's experiments
were often attacked by the Dairyman,
President C. H. Van Hise, Of the uni
versity, was also before the commit
tee for a short time and was ques-
toned on several matters. Col. w. +.
Villas, for some years a member OF
the board of university regents, and

Uses for the Gasoline Engine.

The Ranch would like to hear from
such farmers as have had more or less
experience with gasoline engines, re-
CARELESS of the purpose for which they
were used. This class of power is
gaining such popularity in the north
west that your experience, If detailed,
will be the means of assisting others
who are probably inexperienced and
would welcome some light on the sub
iect. The writer of the following artl-
Gle lives outside of Washington, but
his experience is none the less valu-
able:
81 have used a gasoline engine for
some time, and it surprises me what
power it produces, and how much
easier it is to get said power out
of gasoline engine than out OF any
other machine on the farm that pro-
duces power.
s.In the first place l would buy OF
company that is reliable. Then where
to locate. Some say by the granary,
some by the barn. If the engine is
bought for grinding, as mine was, the
granary might be all right, but L
think it makes some difficulty about
cooling the engine in the winter,
which is one of the main things to be
taken into consideration. | have mine
in the barn with tight wall between
it and where I keep the stock, SO
that the sweat and damp air is kept
away from the engine. The water tank
from which the engine is cooled is
where the stock is kept. The farmers
can hardly afford to keep red not
stove by their engine in the winter
like the elevator men do.
eff some wish to run the pump, they
can run it from there with wire
a half-mile away. l used to run my
pump over a hundred yards away,
with wire. By having the engine IN
the barn it is very handy to run
feed cutter, cream separator, etc., ana
as the grain is mostly fed in the barn
it might be just as handy to take 1t
there before grinding as after.
81 would not buy too small an en-
CINE. One of my neighbors has
small engine and he is using as much
gasoline per hour as l use, and ne
don't grind one-fourth as much per
hour, and | think if an engine is not
overworked it will last longer
