Protein-What It Is.

Protein is taken from a word which
means "first." 1t is really the "frst"
food element in the feed of man or
animals. Feeds are valuable on the
market for the amount of protein they
contain. Foods with a great deal of
protein sell for more than those which
contain less protein. Meat scraps and
dried blood are more than half pro-
tein and they are the highest priced
concentrates on the market Next to
them comes cotton seed meal, which
is nearly four-tenths protein. Next
come the oil and linseed meals which
are from fourth to third protein.
Bran and alfalfa hay have from 10 to
I3 per cent, while clover has from
7 to II per cent.
Protein is needed to form red meat,
blood, hair and milk If the animal
does not receive a sufficient amount
Of protein, the formation of these
will be retarded. Since meat, blood
and hair are formed before milk, the
formation Of milk will be the first to

Silk Culture.

We notice that some Of the Coach
ella Valley people are being inculcated
with the silk culture craze. "Enor-
nous profits in the industry" says the
Submarine. The profits in silk culture,
like the profits in opium growing and
perfume making, depends, not on the
selling prices of the products, but on
the expense of getting the products
ready for the market When wages
are high and labor utterly unreliable,
none of these things are, or can be,
profitable in the United States AL
most forty years ago, an expert in
silk culture selected a tract, now in
the city Of Riverside, for silk culture,
but the experiment never was put in
practice. The growing of silk is per-
fectly successful in South Carolina, but
the profit is nil.-The Citrograph

An ample amount Of clover or al

THE JOINT ENCAMPMENT.

The idea of those in charge OF the
war department to make the state MIL
itia more and more a sort of reserve
army to supplement the work OF the
regulars in time of emergency seems
to be meeting with increasing favor.
When it was proposed, year ago, tnat
the summer encampments OF the mill
tia should be combined with special
gatherings of the regular forces opln-
ion was divided, and in some states the
response to the suggestion of the Sec
rotary of war was not hearty.
1t is now said that the indications
are favorable for large and successful
joint encampments during the coming
summer, many inquiries having been
received at army headquarters ana
much interest shown. On the face or
it the proposition is a good one. If the
militia in the several states wear the
same sort of uniforms as the regulars,
have the same equipment throughout
and are drilled in the same tactics,
transformation in a day of emergency
from citizen soldiers under the contrOl
of a state to members of the army OF
the United States may be brought
about in a much simpler way than
where varieties of uniform are many,
equipment materially different, and
tactics essentially distinct. From the
standpoint of efficiency of reserve
force the plan of joint encampments
is desirable.
Some objections suggest themselves
as likely to be effective. The militia
regiments encampment often takes
much the guise of a junket. in which
an outing is Joined with parading and
display of military paraphenalia. To
be in the militia for recreation and
pleasure with a minimum of danger OF
being required to render service of an
unpleasant nature is one thing. To
look on militia service as the training
school for real fighting is another. If
the militia are to be a reserve force OF
any effectiveness they must be drilled
hard and must be made conversant
with the art of war as the members
of the regular army are That many
regiments have expressed a desire to
have their summer camps made
schools of instruction in connection
with the regulars shows that there are
those who are resolved to be other than
mere holiday miltiamen. A few sea-
sons of Joint encampments ought to
show results along the lines of Sec
rotary Tafts EXPRESSED hopes.

FIERCE TIGERS CHEW up
MUDDY WALLA WALLANS

Tacoma Tigers and Walla Walla
Wonders played an impromptu game
of ball yesterday afternoon.
The game had been called off in the
morning on account of the weather so
that when afternoon came it was hard
to find enough local balltossers to fill
the positions. Finally nine with the
necessary good nature and skill, were
mustered in and the game in the mud
began.
It was too onesided to describe. Many
of the Walla Walla team had not
played for years while the Tigers were
in excellent condition. They pounded
the pitcher which they lent Walla Wal

smiling around the diamond.

THUMPED THEIR OWN FATHER.
Exciting Experience of Man Who
Welded a Young Woman.

CENTERVILLE, Tenn, April s.
Will Nicks, aged about so years, re-
Gently married the second time, his
choice being a woman of about 20
years. He carried her to his home on
Ugly creek, and his daughter and son
left and went to reside with Mrs. Lam
bert, sister, whose home is nearby.
The next morning Nicks went to see
his children for the purpose of recon-
Cling them to his marriage. Mrs.
Lambert met him at the door and for
babe him entering the house. He then
called his son to the yard to discuss
the situation and the verbal argument
soon progressed to a fistic encounter
with the old man too much for son. The
sisters took a hand in the affair. and
with the aid of their brother, pum-
meled their father until he was down
and out.
Later the trouble was renewed, with
the same result and. as so much do
mestic infelicity was too much of a
burden for the elder Nicks on Thurs
day he disposed of a portion of his
worldly possessions and fed the coun-
try. leaving his young wife and chill
dren to settle the family feud. She
retains possession of the home.
