six-Foot Channel Predicted by Engi-

ers Of Note at Gathering Of
Mississippi lmprovers.

St. Paul. - Officers, delegates and
guests attending the ninth annual
convention of the Upper MISSISSIPPI
pi River improvement Association
gathered about the banquet board
at the Commercial club. Oratory, wit,
humor and sound logic flowed for five
hours in deepened channel without
striking an obstruction.
It was the first and only social event
of the convention. F. J. Waterous,
POSTMASTER. rose to the occasion like
boat on a wave in assuming charge
Of the program following the banquet.
Two hundred delegates and distin.
guished citizens greeted his prelimin.
airy remarks with applause.
At the speakers table were the ON.
GERS and leaders of the deep channel

Senator Moses E. Clapp, Mayor James
G. Haynes, Mayor Herbert Keller, Eli
S. Warner, president of the St. Paul
Commercial club; H. A. Tuttle, presi.
dent of the Minneapolis Commercial
club; Congressman F. w. Stevens,
Congressman Halvor STEVENSON, and
many others.
Eli S. Warner declared he would live
to see the day when there would not
alone be deep water channel to the
Twin Cities but a channel connecting
the Mississippi and the head of the
lakes.

Mayor Keller Talks.

when I was school boy" rumi-
mated Mayor Keller, the boy executive
of st. Paul, Il learned in my books
that st. Paul was the head of naviga-
ton. That is true today, it will be
true when the deep channel is complet-
ed and it will continue to be the head
of avigation-until the Mississippi is
connected with Lake Superior and
then there will be no head of nayiga-
tion."
The inference was that Minneapolis
might be extended the courtesy of
shipping it's commerce to st. Paul by
rail to be thence transported by boat
to deep water and that St. Paul would
condescend to give it wharf space
pending transfer. He proceeded to
elaborate on the new depot plans, de-
claring the Strengthening of the river
at Sibley street would give space for
it, and would provide so acres of land
for wharfs, warehouses and railroad
terminals.
Mayor Haynes was delightfully."- face
tious in his response, also kindly and
considerate to St. Paul, almost apollo
giving for placing Minneapolis on the
deep channelled Father of Waters
map.
when we get our DAM" said he,
(which we shall get by the grace of
you gentlemen and the government at
Washington, we shall have nine-foot
channel at Minneapolis, making the
head Of navigation, not st. Paul, not
Minneapolis, but the Twin Cities.
Archbishop Ireland waxed eloquent
and was interrupted by repeated ap-
plause as his eloquence poured fourth
like water flowing over a dam.
"The Mississippi is river that for
centuries has enthralled scholars and
poets" he exclaimed. "Finding it's
source in the crystal lakes of northern
Minnesota, flowing through the fairest
land that earth ever knew, 1000 miles
long, it's fame has for centuries spread
throughout the world. When De Soto
saw it he marveled, it's fame spread be-
yond the Pyrenees to France and
thence came Hennepin, Radisson and
those missionaries. Hennepin saw the
site of st. Paul, saluted st. Anthony's
falls and knew it would never do to
return to Europe without visiting the
site of Minneapolis, so he saw that,
too.
Europe envies our river, not a ma
ton but covets it. In 81 an effort
was made to divide this nation and
one of the happiest results of that war
is that the Mississippi river is left in
one country so that it can be improved.
Seventy years ago this city was
but hamlet. Eighty thousand square
miles of land in Minnesota, capable of
supporting 100000 people and with
only 100000 people here! The soil
has scarcely been touched by the pillow,
This nation is but started in it's de.
velopment; we need railroads and we
| need rivers and we need lakes and we
ned everything that will bring this
nation to its manifest destiny.

It follows that fod- der crops should be cut for hay before they reach maturity. and experimental work and general experience have fully demonstrated that these crops should be cut immediately full bloom is reached Alfalfa is an exeep- ton to this. because it very rapidly becomes fbrous and should be cut In the early blos- soming stage to obtain the best results.
 Regarding the root crops it has beer found that while fodder crops deteriorate toward maturity, because of the conversion of soluble forms of carbohydrates into the insoiIbie and ndigestible fiber, root crops such as. mangels and potatoes. improve, ow ing to the carbohydrates produced in this case being sugar and starch. both of which are oi great feeding value.
 The root crops do not contain very large amount of the valuable food constituents, but when fed along with the dried folders they probably have d food value much greater than their composition indicates This is due 10 the.increased succulency which they impart to the ration.
 Peamcal lnseed meal gluten feed wheat bran and middlngs are foods rich in protein and are, therefore, most valuable components for ration intended for dairy cows. On the other hand, it is evident that oat hulls dried beet pulp, corn bran and such low grade materials cannot build up the protein side of a ration They are also entirely unfit to be used as substitutes for linseed meal. gluten meal. gluten feed ana such ni- trosenous materials
 When purchasing foods the percentage of protein they contain is of prime importance The home grown crops. especially the grasses and cereal grains are more likely to be de- ficient in this than in any other constituent but when clover or alfalfa hay are used as the coarse foods the of concentrates

slider the composition and feeding value of some of the foods or rather groups of foods in common -l tef
 The feeding value of food is largely de- termined by two factors: u) it's composition. @ its digestibility. The first of these deals with richness of the food in protein. fat. carbohydrates and ash materials. The sec ond determines the extent 10 which these various constituents become available in the body. knowledge of the compost tioa of a food is important if it is to be used intel ligentIy In the light of previous statements naturally consider those foods which con- tain the largest amounts of the protein anc rat and the smaller percentage of crude fiber as the most valuable.
 The valuable forage plants of this country belong mostly to two families, the grasses and the Iesumss. June grass. red top. tim othy. and the c, real grain plants are types Of the former. and the ciovers. alfalfa and peas of the lattec. The most essential diff ference between the members of the two families of plants when considered as feed ing stuffs Is in the larger proportion of the protein m the fegurnes. For this reason they for growing stock and for general use on dairy farms.
 With reference to the composition of all dried folders and roots. foods that are fed fin immature state it may be stated that they are liable to considerable variation. We find that the composition depends largely the stage of maturity at which they are cut and also upon the character of the natur- ing. In general it may be said that a plant natures the proportion of water, pro- tein and ash matter decreases while the proportion of carbohydrates, especially of fibrous material. increases. Az this latter substance is largely indigestibles fodder crops detsriorate toward maturity. Young grass is much richer in alb,Imnoids and contains . smaller proportion of, indigesribls fiber than

Tapeworm of Dog


 X LITTLE rat terrier we own has fits of n pain and indigestion and passes small white fiat objects which take to be pieces of tapeworm. How can we get rid of these? The dog Is losing flesh and doing poorly in every way.-N. M. l., Missouri.
 Reply-Tapeworms cause disturbances such As you describe and the segments seen in the passages confirm the suspicion that tspeworm is present Starve the dog For eighteen hours or more; then weigh him and give one and one half grains of freshly pow dered areca nut in cream or milk for each one pound of live weight. Follow with 6 smart purge of castor oil in two or three hours. few drops of turpenttne may be added to the dose Of oil. The treatment has to be repeated whenever the dog shows that the first treatment has not fully removed the pest Santonin also is effective remedy. It is given in two to four grain doses once daily to a small dos and is followed by pursatiye once a week. Do not soon repeat the dose if the first one causes great dis turbancs and when this medicine Is given again give q lees dose than the first.

Some of the older farmers have warned me saying would run the danger Of bloss expected to feed forty four head on f0rty acres of clover and fifteen acres of timothy and bluegrass. Is the element os danger great one and how il be avoidede'
 There Is. of course some danger from
 cattle bloating on clover, buT clover Is Ire qUently pastUred by cattle without loss ms I would suggest the following precautions as there is much less danger of eiSating then cattle are oa full feed than when they arc to clover pasture alone. I under stand that you are t0 continue the corn ra- tion while the cattle on grass. IL is also better. as you suggest. to have d timothy and bluegrass pasture avaiiahie>es The greatest danger comes from turning cn11nson the clover the fest time. We have alW0Un made it a rule not to turn them on clover uno1us when it was wet or the dew was on in ehn, morning and to see to it that the cattle SO onto the clover with a full stomach. If this is done the first time We have never lost an animal, although there has been some blost- ing.
 Some recommend putting them on first for an hour. and the next day for two hours and on until they are gradually sccus- toned to the clover. Personally I prefer turning them on when they are f1ll and when the cover is dry and leaving them on In any event they should be watched closely until they are thoroughly accustomed to the clover.

 Reply-Mix together two parts of oil of tar and one part oil of balsam of fir, and use ss paint once daily, applying it at the juncture Of hair and horn. This tends to tougher the hoofs that they will hold nails. If the hoefs do not grow down well in six weeks or So, then clip the hair from the hoof- head and blister every two weeks with cerate Of can tharides.
