Weight Is the main object of the
farmer In fattenIng stock for market.
and this weight Is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by ex-
p~erience that fat is a desirable quality,
and that 1t adds to the attractiveness
Of a carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
tons, however, that the weight a be
secured at less cost. with a greater pro-
portion Of lean interpreted with the
fat, by feeding a heterogeneous ration,
which means that, In addition to a lib
eraI supply Of corn, an animal should
receive a variety OF food that is not Sc
rich In oil, starch and sugar as is corn
This fact Is worthy Of consideration.

SAINT RATRIcKs DAY

One might think from the predomi- nance of green in the town today that the season had already far advanced into spring. Ala,kans especially seem to do honor to the memory of Saint Patrick. They are probably grateful for what he ha, done for the North land. It has long been known that although Patrick was born in Scotland he took deep interest in the Irish. He wanted to convert them from the error of their ways, and either as a preparation f0r tine conversion, or to make the marrow path easier 10 walk in after they were converted, the good saint drove the snakes al, out of Ire- land. There are some reports that Iri,hmeu have since seen snakes, but that Is probably pipe-dream. Before Saint Patrick did the snake act for Ireland he eNerred his power in behalf of Alaska to such an extent that no snake appears within the territory. It is possible that he did this kindly act especially for the benefit of his namesake, Fitzpatrick, who extends the genial invitation, Meet me at the Branch.
 Saint Patrick did great work for Ireland in establishing schools through. out the land and in preaching the Gospel. When he was pressed for an explanation of the rather complicated doctrine of the Trinity, he stopped tc earth and plucked from the green sod a shamrock, and holding up the tre, foil said behold one in three, three ir one. In memory of Saint Patrick the shamrock will be worn today in all parts of the world.

for the ostenSible purpose of benefit ting the needy. There is no question but that much good has been ac- complished by means of moneys raised by benevolent societies through out the country, and it is just as little subject to question that an undue pro- portion of the funds have been spent in maintaining fine buildings and pay ing salaries of unnecessary officials.

MiIIionaires in the Senate

Wa,hington-In the United States senate every third man is million aire: in the house of representatives one man in twenty seven is reckoned worth a million or more dollars. To be explicit, the senate has th,rty.two millionaircs and the house fourteen.

The man with a hundred thou sand dollars often makes more display than man worth hundred times as much When mans fortune is ten millions or more it is impossible accu- ralely to gauge it. That much wealth in certain lines Of investment, might we'll shrink or swell a million dollars over night.

The placing of his wealth there at $6O, ,OOO,O GOO is the result of compro- mise. The estimates run all the way from $2O,OOO,OOO to $lOO,OOOOOO, Best informed opinion places it between O,OOO, ,OOO and $75,0OO,OOO.
