FEEDING PRIZE CATTLE.

Methods Pursued at the Nebraska Ex-
pertinent Station.
The Nebraska station was particu-
larly fortunate in the awards at the
recent international show in Chicago.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
in fitting fat cattle continuous devel-
opment is desired, writes Professor
Rail of the University of Nebraska
Beginning with the calves, as young
sters of from ten weeks to three
months of age, they are fed literally,
so that growth is never checked. The
steers are housed at night in winter,
but run in the yard during the day
unless the weather is very bad. Grain
is fed inside, each steer having his
own feed box. Such feeds as silage
and roots also are usually fed inside,
though silage is fed also in the large
feed bunk outside. Hay is placed in
large rack in the open yard. The
aim in feeding the steers over winter
is to carry them in good growing con-
dition, but not to get them too fat
This general scheme of feeding and
managing continues throughout the
winter, the cattle getting sufficient ex-
ercise in the lot or from being used in
the judging classes. When spring ap-
proaches and the warm days begin to
bring flies the steers are no longer out
during the day, being stalled then, but
they are turned out overnight on blue
grass pasture. Grass during the night
and moderate allowance of grain
morning and evening is the usual plan
of feeding during spring and summer
Cool quarters, free of flies, are provid-
ed during summer and fall In the
early fall the rations are gradually in
creased, and early in the season the
steers are practically all on a full feed.
The foodstuffs used at the station
are corn, oats, bran and oilmeal for
grain rations, with alfalfa as a prin-
cipal roughage. Occasionally a bit of

MiChelin Anti Tires

The Michelin Tire Company of Mill

established principle of educating au'"-
mobile users not only as 10 the b ST
methods of caring for their tires. bu also
regarding the selection of the most SUIT
able equipment. is now giving wide pub
lcity to their well known anti-skids.
Anti-Skid tires were invented, patented
and first marketed by Michein in 1905.
Their first public appearance was just
plor to the Gordon Bennett cup race of
that year when the late Leon Thery, one
of the worlds most famous drivers, came

ped with Michelins.
The tread of the Michelin Anti Skid,
and the wearing surfaces of the side walls
are protected by tough but flexible
oX-hde band, which is an integral part
of the tire, and not an attachment. In
this leather tread are imbedded from
three to five rows of hardened steel riVets
or studs. The Michelin Company does
not endorse the various detachable anti
skid devices now on the market, which it
is claimed are injurious to the rubber
envelope, and destroy its fiexibility.
In the Michelin construction toe full
resiliency of the tire is perseved, because
the lower side walls, Immediately above
the beads, are of rubber, which permits
the tire to absorb all shocks or jars, the
same as any other good pneumatic tire.
At the same time the OX-hide leather
band protects the tread from cuts and
punctures, prolonging the life of the en-
velope.
The Michelin Company states that over
half of all the pneumatic tires used in
Europe are Michelins, and of this number
more than sixty per cent are Michelin
Anti-Skids. The Company makes it clear
that anti.skid tires are advantageous at
all times, regardless of the season and are
just as necessary in spring as in fall and
winter.

SiIaue For Sheep,

A series of exhaustive tests at the
Indiana experiment station has DEM
onstrated beyond doubt that good ST.
lage used judiciously is an extremely
desirable feed for sheep in winter. 1t
has an excellent effect upon the d.
gestive system and upon the general
health and thrift of the lambs. Ewes
fed during the winter on ration in
eluding a liberal amount of silage
gained an average each winter of
twenty pounds, while those similarly
fed without the silage gained only If
teen and half pounds. Those receiv-
ing the silage also consumed more
than Z per cent less grain and over
30 per cent less clover hay than those
maintained exclusively upon dry feed.
1t also had a valuable effect upon the
fleece, those receiving silage having a
slightly heavier coat of wool.

prairie hay is given if an animal has
osereaten of alfalfa and is a little
loose. Roots and silage are used some
what, more as variation and appe-
tier than as a steady diet, though a
few pounds of silage per day per steer
will be fed for several weeks along
through the winter The standard
grain ration is oats twenty, corn fifty,
bran twenty and oilmeal ten. This is
fed to steers of all ages, together with
about one-half pound Of alfalfa hay
per hundredweight. When full feed
of grain is allowed the hay is kept
down so that sufficient grain is readily
taken. The difference in rations for
older and younger steers is more in the
amount allowed than anything else.
A careful analysis of our methods of
feeding will show that they approach
very close to the practical and that the
feeds used are those most easily OBJ
tanned and most economical.

WASHING DAIRY UTENSILS.

Washing dairy utensils is an
important operation, though it
) involves but few simple con-
siderations. Always use brush;
) never use cloth, as the latter
cannot be kept in sanitary con-
) dition. First rinse the utensil in
cold or lukewarm water, never
hot water, as the latter tends to
cook the milk fast to the tin. In
this way the bulk of the adher-
Ing milk Is removed. Then water
should be used containing sal
soda or washing powder, but I'M ,
der no circumstances should
soap be used. Thorough rinsing ,
after scrubbing in hot water and
washing powder is essential,
after which steaming should
take place over n steam jet or in .
an oven or chamber constructed :
for the purpose. After being :
steamed the different pieces ,
should never be touched with a ;
cloth, but allowed to dry of their
own heat .

FOSTER QUITS CHARITIES
 BOARD TO RELIEVE MAYOR
 OF MUCH EMBARRASSMENT
Wilson to Name E. w. Behrens Outgoing Commissioner for Unexpired Term-This Will Allay the Ire of the Germans, Who Had Concluded They Were to Have No Recognition.

The new administration, with its plans for the distribution of the vari- ous commissionerships all well made, has been relieved of an embarrassing situation with regard to the German American vote, by the voluntary res- ignation of John E. Foster, member of the board of charities, to take ef- feet on Jan. 1.
 MT. Foster has volunteered to give up his place on the board of charities that F. w. Behrens, the other Repub- lican member of the board, may be continued as a member to succeed MT. Foster. MT. Behrens is to be reap pointed ito the board of charities on Jan. 1. He is one of the best known of the German-American Republican residents of the city.
 MT. Fosters act is a great help to the administration in it's present diff 1iculty. The administrators plans were so we'll laid for the police and charities commissionerships that there was no place for Behrens on either board. The new clergymen- commits sioners had been decided upon TOT tne board of charities, so that Behrens could not be placed there. The Re- publican police commissioner is to be George s. Hill, former president of the Algonquin Club, and foreman of the accessories department of the Warner Bros. Go. Behrens could not be placed there, and notice to that ef- friends several days ago when they began to get busy inN his behalf.

After having been a fugitive from this city for eighteen months. Nicho- las Kalal, alias Nicholas Smith, is the crime of arson, the same offence for which the local authorities have long been eager to lay their hands upon him. Word was received al police headquarters from Nashville today and it is likely that Kalal will be brought to this city in the near future to answer to the serious charge which stands against him.
 If brought here, one of the prin- cipal witnesses against him will be James Hadad, a youth of 19, who was made the scapegoat by Kalal in the Bridgeport case and served 10 months in jail.
 Acting under the influence of the older man, young. Hadad, who is not over bright, entered the store kept by Kalal and his partner Sevan Selby at 2030 Main street. The youth. who was armed with two huge pistols and a hunting knife, sprinkled gasoline about the store and prepared to set the, place on fire in accordance with the instructions of, the others, who planned to collect the insurance.

Henry Beutelspacher, head of the Ger man-American Central Verband, the central body of all the local German societies, bes named as Democratic po- lice commissioner. The Mayor couldn't give any assurances to the delegation. The new Democratic commissioner is said to have been practically decided upon, but his identity is we'll guarded. Former Commissioners Hurley and Coughlin are out of the race. There was no place for Beutelspacher on the police board, nor for Behrens there. The Germans wanted recognition on one of the two boards. Announcement had already been made of the admin istration's plans to select two clergy men.
 Then Behrens' friends laid the sit uation before Commissioner Foster. He said he wasn't especially keen about continuing on the board. He would give way to Behrens if it would help out the situation any, So there were a couple of hurried conferences, and the administration was quick to grasp the opportunity. Foster was as- sured that if he resigned, Behrens would be appointed to succeed him for the balance of his term, one year.
 Commissioner Foster said today that he would send his resignation, to take effect Jan. 1. to Mayor Wilson either today or Monday. He said he had been assured that MT. Behrens would be named to succeed him on the board.
 The makeup of the board, after Jan. 1, will be as follows: Hon. Patrick Kane. F. William Behrens, terms ex- pire January, 1913. and Rev. John Mac Laren Richardson and Rev. Father Matthew Judge, terms expire January, 1914.

Death Comes Suddenly
 to William C.. German

Friends of William G. German, a well known polisher employed by the White Mfg. Co.,. were shocked today to learn that death claimed him at his home at 8:30 last evening. Tester day he was at his employment as us- ual, apparently in the enjoyment of the best of health. Only 29 years of age, possessing robust constitution, he was in the best of .alth and spir- it's when last evening he bade his as- sociates at the White Mfg. CO. good night.
 Shortly after supper he went to the second floor of his home, 55 Frank street. A moment later there was the sound of the fall of his body. His wife hastened to his aid and found him at the point of death Before Am bulance Surgeon McQueeney arrived, he had expired. Medical Examiner Garlick reported death due to heart failure.
 The widow and two small children, his parents, four brothers, John, Jo- seph. Francis and Charles, and four sisters, Mrs. Charles R. Reilly, South port, and Mrs. George Hewitt, Mrs. Samuel Knapp and Mrs. Margaret Cabe, all of Norwalk, survive him.

HALF WITTED
 YOUTH CAUSED
 NEAR-DISASTER
Second Federal Express Wreck Averted Only by
 Engineers Instinct
Sudden Stopping of Train Broke Car Spring, Which Nearly Derailed Train on Viaduct.

That another Federal Express wreck on the railroad viaduct in this city was narrowly averted yesterday after noon was learned today. The fact that an accident occurred was told ex- clusively. in The Farmer last even- ing.
 John J. Conway. aged IS. of New Rochelle, a half witted youth, was in- directly the cause of the accident which delayed the 12:S0 train for New York nearly half an hour. But for the delicate mechanical sense of the engineer, there would undoubtedly have been a serious wreck. 7 Young Conway clambered onto the railroad viaduct near the corner of Main and when the express came fly ing along, bound for New York, he stood directly in the track and waved for the train to stop. The engineer, supposing it to be danger signal: ]: damned down the air brakes so hard that the passengers were fairly yank- ed out of their seats by the momen- tum.
 It is believed that this sudden atop page proved too much for one Of the baggage cars and broke one of the main forward springs, allowing the car TO sag 0OWn OduSSIOuSiy. OOAWdy was arrested and the train proceeded on its way. Just before the spot where the Federal Express wreck occurred, the engineer began to notice that bis was not pulling right His delicate mechanical sense took alarm and he again stopped the train. Ex- animation showed that the broken spring onA the baggage car was in a position to wreck the train in mo- ment or two more and that 1t had been stopped just in time.
 So dangerous was the situation that the engineer did not dare to push the train back to the depot, but "dinky engines from the freight yards were and pulled the heavy train back into the city, where the injured car was kicked off, and the train pro- ceeded on it's way, at least half an hour late.
 Young Conway. the half witted youth who was the cause of all this, was locked up over night at police headquarters while the authorities in- vestigated his case.
 They found that he is the victim of physical and mental disorder and that he has been an inmate of the Hudson River Insane asylum in New York state several times. His home IS at SS 4th street, New Rochelle, New York. He has been working in this city for James Kashea of PA Main St.
 Conway was taken to sLakevfew home today. The authorities will probably arrange to have him taken back b New Rochelle.
