ECONOMICAL HEEF FEEDING.

ECONOMICAL BEEF Feeding.
The Nebraska. state experiment sta
ton at Lincoln published the middle
Of December bulletin on Economical
Beef Production" which contains
number Of suggestions which should
be valuable TO feeders Of beef cattle
AS a result OF a number OF carefully
conducted feeding tests It was found
that old process linseed meal coarsely
ground had a slightly higher feeding
value than cottonseed meal, while ei-
ther Of these feeds was considerably
better than wheat bran as a protein
concentrate. One experiment showed
that cold pressed cottonseed cake fed
with corn and corn stOver gave larger
daily gains than any other combina-
tIon OF foods used. The results in
three experiments made showed that
beef could be produced more cheaply
by the use OF alfalfa In connection
with corn than by the use OF any or
the three concentrates-linseed meal.
cottonseed meal or bran-when the
roughage consisted of prairie hay. The
conclusions derived from some other
feeding tests showed that with corn
at from 80 to 80 cents per buahel and
alfalfa hay at 81 per ton or lower less
than full feed Of corn--from four
teen to eighteen pounds-was a more
economical ration than when a full
feed was used and that II corn was
worth from 80 TO 90 cents per bushel
II was more economical to reduce the
corn ration 70 n half feed, or from ten
10 twelve pounds. A comparison OF
the quarters after the animals we're
slaughtered showed that the groups
fed on alfalfa gave better quality Of
meat. as shown in the color. marbling.

CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS WAS
 ABLE TO SIT UP FRIDAY
Suffering from Nervous Breakdown Resulting from Overwork at Wash inqton.

Congressman Higgins is ill at his summer home at Massapeag, suffering from nervous breakdown due to over work in Washington. When he re- turned from Washington he was not feeling well, and for the past week he has been abed. On Friday for the first time in the week he was able to sit up for short time but Dr. w. K. Tingley, who is attending him, stated Friday evening that he is in need of long rest. He seems to be unable to take nourishment and has had the at tendance of the doctor every day dur ing the week and one day he was there twice.
 It was stated by Charles w. Com stock before he left for Canada last week that Congressman Higgins was suffering from overwork.. but it was hoped that he would be able to join tho hunting party into Quebec when several other members go north this month. It is doubtful if he will be able to go into the wilds. He is quite weak and will probably be confined to his home for some time yet.

and 63 years of age. in broken health and he urged len1ency in the matter.
 Record Against Him.
 State Attorney Hull said he had no doubt that the son John would commit the crime, out the statement of Lafay- cite Maine would be as unreliable as anyone's could be, in his opinion. He showed the courts record that Amasa D. Maine had been, sent to jail once for six months for stealing poultry and on the second time he was given one to two years in state prison.
 He was probably under the influence of cider. He has a bad record and reputation. There is no doubt but he committed the crime Lafayette Maine, if he had any knowledge about John, could have found the testimony in time but the admission of John would not be of the slightest importance. A. D. Maine is an habitual criminal Usual- this is generally the result of the use of intoxicants. He thought there should be a substantial sentence.
 Sent to Prison.
 Judge Reed said he thought the jury was right in it's decision. He said the offense is trivial, but the matter of value should not enter into ,consid- eration of this matter. The man has failed to learn a lesson iris his two experiences and he did not think, with his record, that he deserved much sympathy. He sentenced him to not less than one nor more than three years in state prison and later modi- fled that to not less than one nor more than two in state prison.
 Rossi Given Four Months.
 James Rossi pleaded guilty to steal ing s15 from the person of Ferdinand di Bennetto in New London June l. He told the pudge that he took the money when under the influence of liquor. He had been in jail some time and during that time his father died. He was penitent and believed he could do better if given chance. He cried as he talked with the judge. He was given four months in jail.
 Fined $50 and Costs.
 Harry ,Nosorwitz pleaded guilty to the assault with a knife upon a fellow countryman,, named Mike Lazike, in Montville. June 4. Attorney Hall spoke for him, saying that the affair took place at a Polish wedding, where he claims he was struck by man much larger than himself, and two other men beat him down. While o-l his hands and knees he drew a jackknife and stabbed the fellow in the leg, infiictine deep cut. He has been in the coun- ty two years and claimed he made the assault in self defense.
 State Attorney Hull said the trouble arose over a girl. The accused wanted to dance with a girl there, and the fel- low dancing with her erfused to release her. He started a fight when he said he was going to dance with her. The cut he inflicted was in the groin. Ii fined, he thought it ought to be sub- stant1al.
 The judge thought there was little ground for self defense. He fined him $50 and costs. amounting to $116.29 which he paid.
 This completed the business of the afternoon and court adjourned until Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, when the Courtland Maynard case is ex- pected to be put on He is charged with arson in Waterford.
