Pea Hay.


Pea hay, or straw has a nutritiye

therefore, in itself constitutes a fairly
well-balanced ration and compares in
this respect very favorably with alfal-
Ia, which, at the same station at the
same time was found to have a nu.
tritiye ratio of 1898. The difference Is
in favor of the pea hay. The same ex-
periments show that larger percent
age of the dry matter, either extract,
crude fiber, crude protein and nitro
gen free extract, are also more digesti-
BILE than the same constituents of all
falfa. In ash, alfalfa has the higher d.
gestion coefffcient: that fs, a larger
percentage of the ash OF alfalfa was
assimilated by the animals than of the
ash of the pea hay. The digestion CO.
efficient of the crude protein and nj
trogen free extract of the pea hay
were exceedingly high. The animals
used were sheep. The pea hay is stated
to have been in poor condition, due to
overripening, most of the peas, on this
account. falling out. The alfalfa was
In good condition and was considered

The experimenter explains that the
pea hay in the experiments was not
of the best quality, hence the results
should not be taken as representing
such tests under the most favorable
conditions.-Wisconsin Agriculturist.

VERNON Doss VICTIM
OF A NIGHT ACCIDENT

Badly Stunned, Bruised and Col

Last Thursday night Vernon Doss
met with an accident that might
have proved fatal. He came out Of

bruised body and severe jolting.
up. He had been down in Shannon
county with party Of hunters and
had left them and was returning
home by himself In n buggy. A
ditch had been dug partly across the
gravel road near State Hospital No.
4 for the purpose putting in aculvert,
and no danger signal light was placed
there. In the darkness he drove in
to this ditch. The buggy was over
turned and the horse tangled up in
the wheels SO 1t could not move.
Vernon was badly stunned and
doesn't know how long he lay there
unconscious, but finally came to
himself, and In a dazed condition
made his way to small building on
Mr.. Gould's place, where Rev.
Bumpus lives, and procured Ian
tern. About this time Harry Lott
and Warner Rariden happened along
and helped to extricate the horse,
which was still PROSTATE with Its
head and feet fastened in the wheels
of the buggy, after which they took
Vernon home. At first II was Thought
no bones were broken, but IA later
examination proved that his collar
bone was fracrured near the left
shoulder. The failure of the one

culvert in not placing signal light
there at night was certainly very
careless.

NEW SCHEDULE ON THE
ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

With view to accommodating
the public and giving them the bene-
fit o! the train which the Iron Noun
tain began to operate Inst Sunday,
the schedule of the Electric Rail-
way has been re-arranged and n new
car installed to meet that train.
This car leaves the Power House at
4 a. M, leaves the Post Office Mt
4:l7 n. M, and arrives at DeLassus
In time to meet the north bound
train on the Iron Mountain at 4:iO
n. IN. This train is made up of n
through sleeper and day coach be-
tween Charleston and st. Louis. 1t
arrives in st. Louis Mt S:l1 n. M.
For the present thecar which leaves
the Federal at $40 p. m, will leave
the Post Office at 5:i2 p. m, and

SOME Ell ECEI0g TOTALS.

Essentially officialreturns from
the presidential election are now
available, and they reveal the
fact that nearly Is 900, 900 votes
were cast. The exact number is
IA. 1852, 239, but probably it is
not far from the fact to assume
that enough faulty ballots failed
of record to augment this total
nearly to 5000, 600, if not even
TO exceed that stupendous figure.
No electoral event is the world S
history approaches this With
respect to the magnitude Of the
plebiscite. A colossal vote in
deed was that of four years ago,
vet it fell 1,341, 531 below the
aggregate this year.
Taft's plurality over Bryan is
1884, 494-wh;eh quite nearly
equals the excess of the total
vote over that of 1904. His
total is 7,637,676, Bryan's 6,39-
1872. Taft has clear major
itv over all not much under a
half a million-thus giving him
unmistakeable title to the pre-
tension of being emphatically
the popular choice. The Prohi-
bition vote is 1924 less than
that of four years ago, while
the socialistic is Ell ,498 greater
