FIND BODY IN SAGEBRUSH

WILSON CREEK, Wash.-A sing
ular case whether murder, suicide or
death from natural causes-came to
light here yesterday. Some days ago
one of the Kennedy brothers ranch
ers six miles west, discovered a hat,
coat, pair of socks, a couple of hand
kerchiefs and a quantity Of bread
wrapped in a newspaper in the sage
brush near Round lake.
Yesterday afternoon while round
ing up some horses that had strayed
away the brothers found themselves
in the same neighborhood and on
searching the sagebrush discovered
the body of man in an advanced
stage of decomposi ton. The re-
mains were evidently those of a
young man, clothed in pair of over
alls and suit of underwear. The body
lay on one side, with the arms shield
ing the face.
The authorities were notified and
DR.. Mikkleson of Ephrata sent to
make an examination. The body
was shriyelled and did not weigh

GRAIN HAY FOR FEED
Professor Thatcher Gives Instruc-
tive Letter on Feed Value
of Grain Hays

1t is the very common custom,
throughout the grain growing
districts of eastern Washington,
to cut certain portions of the
wheat, or other grains, which
for some reasons are unsuitable for
threshing, for hay In the main,
this is a very satisfactory prac-
tee, since in this way there may
be obtained large yields per acre
of hay of high feeding value. But
possible feeding values, the grain
must be cut at the right stage of
growth, since if cut too early
there is serious loss of yield per
acre, and if allowed to grow too
long before cutting the grain
rapidly becomes woody and
the feeding value Of the resulting
hay is seriously lowered. With
the view of determining which
of the common grains may best
be used for hay-making, and at
what stage of growth these are
best suited for the purpose, con
siderable number Of analyses have
been made at the Experiment Sta
ton laboratory during the past
two or three seasons. The sam
Piles were all taken from hays
grown for that purpose on the
{ al In, la
grain was cut at two or more
different stages of growth, in or
der to determine at which stage
the crop produced the hay of the
best composition for feeding pur-
poses.
The amounts Of digestible nu-
trients. or valuable clements OF
food, found by the analyses, are
shown in the table below. Protein
is the material in feeds which
builds up the flesh, blood, brain,
etc, or the So-called tlesh-fOrmer,
while fat and carbohydrates serve
to keep the animal body warm and
supply the energy necessary to
put the various parts OF the body
in action. Fats supply two and
quarter times as much heat or
energy, pound for pound. as do
the carbohydrates. hence these
are determined and reported
separately. In the last column

es of growth. The feeding value
of wild oats falls off very rapidly
as the crop approaches maturity,
however, and when nearly ripe it
yields a poorer hay than any grain
we have ever analysed. In order
to obtain a Wildcats of as high
feeding value as that from other
grain hays, it is necessary to cut
the crop early, not later than when
in full bloom. The yield per acre
at this stage will be considerably
less, but if allowed to stand until
it reaches its maximum growth,
the quality of hay is seriously re
dueed, Hay of high protein con
tent can be obtained by cutting
the crop very early, say at the
time when heading begins, but the
yield per acre at this stage will
be very low.
The bald barley, speitz, and oats
all show a decrease in percentage
of protein as they approach ma
turity. with a resultant widening

Special attention should be

MAY START MILLS
Y. G. Mansfield Puts it upto"
the Millers to Pay Fair
Prices for Bluestem

To the millers of Washington
and Oregon In the name of the
blueStem wheat raisers of the In
/ land Empire | appeal to you to
pay to us the value of our blue
stem wheat. You all frankly al
init that our bluestem wheat is
worth from 10 to - cents per
bushel more than club or red
wheat, but at the opening Of the
market You rarely offer more than
u cents more per bushel. Now,
would it not be better for you as
we'll as us to pay us what cur
bluestem is worth? In that way
you would encourage instead of
discourage us in the way of rails
ing high grade wheat. Bluestem
wheat is not heavy yielder; it
rarely goes more than 30 bushels
and often not more than 10 bush
els to the arce. Other varieties
run from - bushels to 80 bush
els to the acre. Other varieties
are dropping the bluestem and
raising lower grades of whent.
Now this must work great hard
ship on the milling industry, for
YOU certainly can not expect to
compete in the world s market
with -four made from low grades
of wheat alone In fact, you are
losing a good deal Of your home
market by not having more blue
stem wheat to grind. For people
will have good flour if they have
to have it shipped from the east
to get it.
Now, looking at it from a pure
! ly business standpoint, will it not
pay you better to pay us fully
what our bluesrem wheat is worth
and thereby encourage us in its
production, than it will to rob us
Of from s to ID cents per bushel
on it and discourage us in its pro
luction
The warehouse men were not
satisfied with an eXceedingl " good
thing They thought they could
ciuch us a little harder.
Today they are sorry that they
ever had that thought. For today
we have our own warehouses at
nearly IA hundred stations and in
two years more the old ware
house man will be thing of the
past.
Now the question is. do you
milIers want rs to build our own
mills? We can do it.

stem. If you rob us of 8 cents a
bushel on it, as you usually do,
you will rob us of $4,000. Now,
! 600 will build us a mill that
will grind that wheat.
1t is up to you. Do you want
us to 90 into the milling business
We did not want to 90 into the
warehouse business; we were
/ forced in.
Are YOU going to force lis into
the milling business? 1t is only
one step further We can take
that step.

ton with any other properly bal
anced ration, with the assurance
that its valuable nutritive ingred-
tents will be fully utilized. Oats
and peas make by far the most
desirable hay crop for the Palouse
section. both from the standpoint
of composition and that Of large
yields per acre.
Other things being equal, pre-
ference should always be given
to those hay crops rich in digesti-
bic protein, or with a narrow nu-
tritive ratio. since it is easy to
remedy an excess of protein in
the feed by the use Of some grain
or straw, etc, rich in carbohy-
drates. But if the hay is too rich
in carbohydrates, it is difficult
and expensive to purchase the
necessary supply Of protein to
properly balance up the ratio Sc
that no loss of digestibIe nutri-
ents in feeding may occur.
