The alfalfa hay used was good first
cutting; the sweet clover was coarse
and stemmy; the pea hay was some

mixed wild grasses, containing a con-
siderable quantity of wire grass.
The corn and barley were from Nebras-
ka: the spelt was raised on the Lara

The lambs on native nay ate less
hay than those fed alfalfa, and the

of hay per bead, which was less than

The most striking feature is the
central hail. with its stone chimney
where on wide open hearth spruce,
pine and maple logs b1azed cheerily

in Washington people were seeking
the parks and housetops to get refuge

Il feel that the head of this depart
ment ought to know something about
fishing" said Secretary Straus, almost
naively, las the bureau of fisheries is
under his Jurisdiction, and in order to
learn about fishes you must love the
sport Of taking them"
One would have to go far to find a
more ardent sportsman and outdoor
athlete than the postmaster general Of
the United States, George Won Len
gerke Meyer of Hamilton, Mass. With
him athletic exercise is little short Of
religion, and with his so years sit
ting lightly on him he can outride and
outwork most younger men. What he
goes through during his vacation
would kill any man whose nerves were
not in perfect trim, whose muscles
were not like whip cords and whose
digestion was not capable of assimilat-
ing the heartiest viands.
But the postmaster general does not
try to crowd into a brief vacation all
the exercise and open-air recreation of
an entire year. Every day he jumps
on his horse at seven o'clock in the
morning and takes a ride at a rafting
pace over country roads and cross
country in the br2cipg morning air.
He is an accomplished and daring
horseman.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, is no sport. When he wants recre-
alton he exchanges one kind of work
for another, and even when at home
in the bosom of his family he is not
wont to indulge in cards or checkers
or chess or any other of the games
commonly resorted to for recreation
and amusement
Victor Howard Metcalf, the recent
secretary of the navy, is as fond OF
sport as when at Yale he led his boat
crew to Victory, but he now finds
recreation in other ways Fishing.

his chief amusements during his vaca-

scours almost constantly. What gain
is made is chiefly framework and mus
Gle and little fat. Pea hay that was
well cured before the stalks became
stringy, undoubtedly would show bet
ter results than those given above,
but when compared with alfalfa and
corn the pea hay is a poor ration.
By comparing Lots and s we find
that Scotch barley and bald barley are
practically equal in value when fed
with native hay and oil meal. A study
of Lot 8 shows that spelt is not near
~ equal to either bald or Scotch bar
ley when fed with native hay and oil
meal, giving a gain of only 1873 pounds
in IA weeks, or less than pound a
week per head.
The peas in the field gave a gain
of 1873 pounds per head in IA weeks;
.95 of an acre was required for the
production of 100 pounds gain. An

EXPERIMENT IN LAMB FEEDING

The Wyoming experiment station
have Just concluded years investi-
cation in lamb feeding with a view to
ascertaining the best ration.
Three experiments were carried on
at the same time. Previous expert
ments with small numbers of lambs
had shown that oats and oil meal
seemed to balance the native hay ra-
ton about as we'll as any grains tried.
Therefore, one lot of 40 lambs was fed
this ration and another lot was fed al
falfa hay and corn. Shropshire Meri-
no cross-bred lambs were used.
A comparison of peas in the field
and pea hay was made with two lots
OF Cotswold grade lambs, having 40
lambs in each lot
All the lambs were fed in uncovered
yards protected by high board fence,
with the exception of the lambs, upon
peas in the field. These were run in
small areas fenced with woven wire,
the fences being moved as necessary,

stemmy. The lambs liked it, however
and showed a steady appetite for it.
There was not the slightest difficulty
in getting them to eat it at the start.
The lambs eating pea hay made the
low gain of 1863 pounds per head in
IA weeks. 1t required 1,472 pounds of
the hay to produce 100 pounds gain
in live weight. This poor showing for
pea hay is borne out by the results
gotten with Lot TO- which contained
a very different class of lambs and
was not carried on in comparison with
Lot. 6, but which shows a still poorer
gain of only SIS pounds per head in
IA weeks.
The pea hay seemed very unsatisfac-
tory, and while nothing is definitely
established by this experiment with
regard to the amount of pea hay need
ed for the production of 100 pounds
gain, yet it can be definitely stated
that it gives unsatisfactory results for
fattening lambs. The lambs do not

FOND Of ATHLETICS
PRESIDENT HAS SET GOOD EXAM
PIE FOR CABINET MEN.
His Fondness for Healthy and Manly
Sports Has Been Contagious
with Advisers-Wilson
Not Sport.

Washington.-Not the least good
that Theodore Roosevelt, as president
of the United States, has done his
countrymen has been to quicken by
precept and example their love and
appreciation of healthy, athletic and
manly sports. AS hunter, a horse
man, a pedestrian, tennis player,
boxer, an exponent of jiu jitsu-in
short, a follower of every wholesome
form of exercise and manner of sport
the president has set an example
that has been contagious and that will
bear good fruit for many day to
come
The eight serious and one jocund
gentlemen who stand at all times
ready, if not anxious, to lend their
counsel to the president regarding the
plotting of the ship of state are not
unlike him in respect to their fondness
for athletic recreation.
Secretary Straus, who has had con-
siderable experience in the service of
his country both at home and abroad,
and who is now at the head of the
manysided department Of commerce
and labor, is an ardent fisherman and
an enthusiastic pedestrian. He found
ample opportunity to crafty both his
fishing and walking propensities dur
ing the past summer.
The entire month Of August was
spent in the Maine woods, in company
with William Loeb, Jr., secretary to
the president There, in a little cabin
of logs, which Secretary Straus asserts
cost him the munifcent sum of $3.50,
far from civilization and close to the
heart of nature, where the deer came
curiOusly up to investigate the in
truders and the brook trout rose

be the best of those tried, the lambs
making a gain of ia pounds per head
In II weeks, against ESQ pounds made
by the lot on alfalfa hay and corn. The
present experiment with 40 lambs in
each lot shows an average gain of
20.3 pounds in IA weeks by the lambs
on native hay, oats, and oil meal, and
343 pounds by the lambs on alfalfa
hay and corn.
The amount of feed required was
607 pounds of native hay, 400 pounds
OF oats, and 25 pounds of oil meal for
100 pounds of gain. IN the previous
experiment 574 pounds of hay, sol
pounds Of oats, and Sc pounds of Oil
meal were required for 100 pounds
gain.
The results of these two expert
ments indicate that the native hay,
oats. and oil meal ration will produce
somewhat less than two-thirds the gain
produced by alfalfa hay and corn in
the same length of time, and also re-
auires considerably more feed to pro-
duce 100 pounds gain.
Wild sweet clover is common along

and since it withstands alkali well
and gives heavy tonnage of hay, it
should prove a desirable hay crop in
many sections. Stockmen commonly
believe that sweet clover is useless
as forage plant, but cattle and sheep
will eat the growing plant if it is
not too large and coarse, and the ex-
pertinent here reported shows that
lambs eat the hay readily and make
good gains from it.
Comparing Lots 4 and 5, we find
that the sweet clover lambs made an
average gain of 30.7 pounds in IA
weeks, while the alfalfa lambs made
344 pounds gain. The former ate
one.slxth more hay, somewhat more
corn, and small amount of oil meal.
The larger consumption of sweet clo-
yer hay was due to the fact that it
was cut late and was very coarse and

BOARD MEMBER DEFENDS VETS.
Says That Whiskey Consumed
Amounts to One Drink a Day.

Former State Senator G. H. Vandiver
of Higginsville, Mo-, member of the
Board of Managers of the Confederate
Soldiers Home at that place, says that
the report that the 800 old veterans of
the home consume sixty gallons OF
whiskey a month, is untrue.
What they do drink and that in
cludes the whiskey used in the
hospital, is about three barrels annual
ly,'' he said. That would be about $50
gallons of whiskey and would mean
less than half gallon for each person.
That would mean probably one little
eye opener a day. When the iunket
ing committee came there one of tht
members said we were using too much
whiskey, but | told him he was mis-
taken. Those old fellows need a little
nip now and then to brace them up.

Starch were used. In order to get the

sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
