Another High Class Appointee
Hon R. V. Fletcher, the efficient at
torney general of Mississippi, has
been elected president of the national
association of attorney generals, this
honor having been bestowed upon him
at the annual meeting of the Associa-
ton which was held in Denver last
week. Taking into consideration the
fact that every state in the union is
represented in this association and
many of the foremost lawyers of the
country are numbered among it's mem
bers, the honor conferred upon Gen.
Fletcher is indeed great and is high
tribute to his ability as a jurist. All
who have followed Gen. Fletcher's
career realize that the honor was
worthily bestowed, and Mississippians
generally are sincerely glad that his
abilities have received national recog
nation.-Columbus Dispatch.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1908-11-19

Winnisheik, Iowa, was suddenly re-
stored to reason and his mind is now
clear but the thirty years are blank,
says the Elgin, Iowa, Echo. At the age
of twenty-three he was kicked on the
head by horse and short time after
wards he lost his reason. His parents
then lived near Castalia. Henry was en-
gagged to marry young girl but after
he was taken to Independence she was
wooed and won by another. She is now
mother of large family. About the
first inquiry Baker made was for the
girl. Then he inquired for his parents,
dead long ago. The friends of his boy
hood have scattered and gone and he
does not know those who call to see him
but remembers them as they We're thir-
ty years ago. Doctors assert this is the
strangest case on record.
"A severe accident happened to Ole
Gilbertson last Monday morning, at his
home two miles south of this village.
He was engaged in shredding corn and
in attempting to remove an ear of corn
that got fast in the shredder, his right
hand got caught in the rollers, tearing
and crushing it as far as the wrist, The
fact that they were running slow, as
they had finished the job and were shut
ting down, is all that saved his arm
and possibly his life. The engine was
stopped, the belt thrown off and the
large wheel turned backward to release
him from his perilous position. DIR.
Mcdonald was called and found, beside
the crushing, that the middle bone of
the hand was torn out 1t took forty
stitches to close the wounds, but the
doctor has some hope of saving the
hand. = Hollandale Review.

SILAGE FOR BEEF CATTI,

u.
Professor Soule, of the Virginia
station, recently made the following
report of cattle feeding test:
During last winter an interesting
experiment with sixty head of beef
cattle was conducted at the expert
ment station. The twenty cattle fed
silage made an average gain of 1.46
pound per head per day, the twenty
cattle fed timothy hay, Ito pound
per head per day, and the twenty cat
tie fed shredded corn stover, OF
pound per head per day
There was thus difference of one
third to one-half pound of gain per
head per day in favor of the silage
fed cattle. The silage fed cattle n
ished off the best and showed more
quality than the others and in any
discriminating market would have
brought considerably higher prices.
The strong prejudice against using
silage for the winter feeding of beef
cattle is hard to understand, for it
has been fully demonstrated that
silage fed cattle will kill out quite as
well as the dry fed cattle, and the
meat is, generally speaking, of a
superior quality. Whereas the silage
was all eaten up. 1875 of the stoYer
and AIS per cent. of the hay were
wasted.
The gains show that the cattle fed
were not of satisfactory quality.
In previous experiments pound Of
gain has been made for a consump-
ton OF three to four pounds of grain.
The silage fed cattle in this test con-
sumed 6 81 pounds of grain for
pound of gain, the slower fed cattle
Ills pounds, OF about twice as
much, and the hay fed cattle S.99I
pounds, or 2.45 pounds more per day
than the silage fed cattle.
With better bred animals fed in
previous experiments, the average
gain per head has often been eISI
pounds throughout the six months
feeding period. which again testihes
TO the unsatisfactory quality Of ,bs
animals fed in this test.
