Gen. Smirnoff writes Of Gen. Sto-
essels conduct during the siege of
Port Arthur. The timidity of
Stoessel was such that he never ap-
peared in the fighting lines. but he
abused the population as poltroons
and 'rascals. When, in September,
several shells fell near our lodgings,
Stoessel moved to the house Of Gen.
Nolkog, in another part Of the town.
His flowers and part OF his houae-
hold things had been moved when a
she'll struck VolkoTs house. The
things were then taken back to the
old place. Toward the eud OF Nov
embor the enemy began shclling us
from ll-inch mortars, and Stoessel
again removed, this time TO the VIC
Unity of the barracks of the 10Th
regiment, which was out OF range
There he lived in perfect safety un-
I'll the enemy was able to shell this
quarter also. Thereupon he hasten
cd TO surrender. Such pusillanimity
made him the constant laughing
stock not only OF the officers, but Of
the rank and file and civilians as
we'll, but whenever he caught any
one ridiculing him he took the cruel
est vengeance.

what compensation the railroads

"Mr Chairman, in delivering my adj

Until March, .. 1907. the dopart.

slLAoe ron BEEF CATTLE
The Best Food for Conditioning for
the Market

The somewhat prevalent idea
among farmers that beef cattle fed
on silage do not go to the block in as
good condition as those fed by ra-
tions of roughage has been disprov-
cd by series of important investi-
cations and feeding tests of the de-
partment of agriculture. The great
value of silage as a meat producer as
well as for dairy purposes is con-
iclusively shown. In the tests report
ed by Prof. Soule 70 the bureau OF
animal industry as conducted at the
Tennessee government experiment
station with nine groups of feeders
covering periods of 100 days feeding
ior market, cattle fed on stover as
the rough portion of the ration made
good gain of 1.27 pounds a day; but
those receiving suceulent ration
did much better, making an average
gain of 1.75 pounds a day. The farm
er who feeds for the market, cannot
afford, 1t is stated, to be without a
silo. Silage makes most excellent
feed for both beef and milk produc.
tion and one that in the long run
will make an exceedingly cheap
pound of gain, by reason of the small
amount of concentrated feed stuffs-
grain, cottonseed meal, etc.--requir-
ed to be fed with II.
The prejudice against silage for
beef cattle has undoubtedly come
largely from the demands of the
butchers, who have maintained that
beef cattle so fed were inferior meat
producers. The important result,
therefore, Of the slaughter test of
these cattle, is found in the fact that
the silage fed cattle showed the high
est per cent of good meat, thus over
throwing the impression that such
cattle will not kill we'll" The
slaughter test of Is dry-fed cattle
showed total of S,106 pounds of
good meat, while that Of IS succulent
fed cattle was 1858 pounds, gain
in favor of the silage fed cattle Of
j77 pounds of salable meat. When
the cattle in one OF the experiments
were offered for sale, the butcher
proposed to discriminate against
those fed silage, maintaining that as
they would not dress out as we'll aa
the others, he would not be expected
TO pay as high price for them. "The
slaughter tests spoke for themselves,
said Prof. Soule, "and sounded the
death knell of prejudiced and abb
surd belief"
Nor does the item OF feeding cost
show up TO the disadvantage of sill
ace, but the contrary. A pound OF
gsin in the stover-fed cattle cost an
average of 5.S cents while with silage
fed cattle a pound OF gain under the
same conditions cost an average OF
5.G or difference of $40 hundred
weight. Silage, 1t may be generally
remarked, has very wholesome e.
feet on the handling qualities of cat
tic, making the hide soft, elastic and
flexible, and the hair glossy and oily
to the touch, as compared with a
coat that is inclined to be rough, dry
and shaggy with the stover-fed cat

WHERE DID YOU GET ITT

His Wealth.

Spenker Cannon intimatPd that Mr..
Bryan had become a millionaire. The
speaker was speaking in his home

The following day Mr.. Bryan, speak

of the American people and showed
that he is worth approximately Slj0,-

Having thus accepted Speaker Can
mons challenge TO "'feSs up," Mr..
Bryan demanded in return that
Speaker Cannon "snitch on himself"
that is, that Mr.. Cannon also "'fess
up" and relate just how he got ms
wealth.
1t is perfectly proper thing, too;
for some people have been worried
that Mr. Bryan has succeeded by his
great industry In upbundlng a com

"It was from what saved from my
congressional salary, and gained from
lectures and books and the profits Of
The Commoncr' that got what
money and property have Mr..
Bryan answered, in substance. "Will
Mr.. Cannon now tell the people how
he amassed his wealth? He has been
hampered more or less by official
duties during his term OF service in
the congress- yet in spite OF that OBJ
stacle, he il commonly presumed to
possess considerable of this worlds
goods"
Now "Uncle Joe's" Turn.
None will deny that it is now Uncle
Joe'S turn TO take the people into his
confidence Down in Dauville, II is
true that Mr.. Cannon and his brother
as bankers are thought each 10 have
amasscd much more than $1,000, 600,
Certainly, his credit in the financial
| world rests on the general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possessions.
If that be true, II IL to be hoped
that the speaker will give details as
TO how he got it. If it be untrue. then
let him toll exactly how much he Is
wort. and OF what his wealth con,
