Managing the workers on Y farm ID
a science In itself 1t Is a science that
few have studied sufficiently. Plan

done In the best mahner and in the
least time Is equivalent to a saving In

work be properly done and at the right
time. but the time between different
pieces of work should be as small as
possible. Here is 4 point at which

Feed Cows Their own MIX
An endless chain arrangement that
on Its face appears to be the most
economical scheme ever devised has
been started by Prof. Err. Of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College. Prof.
Err takes the milk secured from cows
on the college farm, converts it into
powder and feeds 1t to the COWS, max
ing what Is declared to be the cheap
est of all the COW foods.
The food invented by Prof. Err Is
made Of buttermilk. He has perfected
a system of drying buttermilk and
then converting 1t into powder. This
dried buttermilk contains about 10 per
cent Of protein. twice as much as cot
ton SEED meal containns, and can be
manufactured for one and half cents
a pound. Thus food twice as rich a.
cotton seed can be manufactured at
approximately the cost Of the latter.
One hundred pounds of butterinilk
will make from nine to ten pounds Of
the finished product and as the esti-
mated waste Of buttermilk In the
creameries Of Kansas IL 100000
pounds daily. 1t Is figured that BY the
adoption Of this progress saving Of
100000 can be made yearly In Kan
sas alone.

YUMA SOLDIER BOYS
 ON THEIR METTLE
Ask to Be MuSterd from Ari- zOna Guards Because of
 Bad Treatment.

The big row in the territorial mill tia growing out of the encampment at Camp Brodie is rapidly spreading and there is now strong likelihood of the disbandment of one or more com panies of the National Guard says the Tucson Citizen. The petition of a large percentage of the Phoenix com pany to be allowed to resign was pub lished in last Wednesdays Citizen and at the same time the vOciferous kicking of soldier boys from other towns was commented on.
 A report from Phoenix today says that the trouble in that city has been practically settled, but that several members of the company there are still inclined to be belligerent. Now comes forward Yuma with the loudest kick of all. From captain to high private the entire company de- sires to be mustered out. A round robin is being signed by all the men of the company setting forth their grievances and asking for their i'm mediate discharge. while the officers will back it up with a strong recOm- mendation that the wholesale request for discharge be complied with. and in turn rendering their own reS'Sua tion.
 The letter being signed by the men is evidently a red hot one. A copy could not be secured, but of ics con. tents the boys, who contained them selves in silence for a few days, arc now willing to talk freely.
 They charge that throughout the en- tire encampE-nt Company H was treated atroCiously. The Yuma sol diers were made the victims of many times mere than their share of the camp drudgery, while the discipline they were subjected to was decidedly tempered in its application u the favored B and c companies, Of PhCe- nix. and Tempe respectively. In the matter of policing the camp, guard duty lld the like. Company H was rc peatsdly and regularly imposed upon.
 But it is against Quar;ermaster Captain Frank Alkire and Captain 3f Commissary George Alkire of Phoe- nix that the bitterest feeling is rli- rected. From these men, the Yuma soldiers claim. they received disgust ingly unfair treatment. and their cum plaints were jeered at Their rati0ns
 
 fiji to eat. and some of the boys inti- mate that they could smell graft. One of the officers Of Company H cites as an instance of the unfair treatment accorded them in the m9r+er of Ia tions. that on one of the last Jays of the encampment they asked for their ration of fresh meat, it being q fresh meat da..-and he were given rotten bacon.
 As to the complaints Icing directed toward Major COggins of Phoenix by certain men of company E. the Yuma soldiers assert that ,h.v are ground less. Major COggins was criticised because of his selections of tIs Camp Perry shooting team, but the Yuma men claim that the major was very fair in his selections. and that he Was really the most decent If the resi- mental officers.
