FOOD FOR BEfvFS
How to Procure Largest Gain in
Weight OF Cattle
SCIENTIFIC FEfDlN 6
Valuable Suggestion 0ffere d by
Those Who Have the Matter .
Subject of Study

The following articles are taken
from the University Farm Press News !
and contain valuable suggestions:
Under the direction of Prof. T. L.
Hacker, the Division of Animal Hus-
bandry at University Farm is carry
ing on series of experiments which are
expected one day to furnish to the
stock-raisers of the Northwest an in
valuable guide for the feeding of beef
cattle, so as to secure the largest,
most steadily-progressive gal n in
weight from the amount feed given,
ar d at the smallest proportionate out
lay. A system of minute observation
and4recording has been adopted, SINH
lar to that which, carried on for if
teen years, enahfsd' Prof. Haeeker1 at
last to formulate table of ,rations
for dairy cows, the systematic Use of
which is today enabling dairymen to
secure far larger returns, in milk and
butter-fat, from COWS of whatever
breed, than was before deemed prac
ticable.
Commencing: in 1907, a certain num-
Der of calves have been bought each
year, and fed ''from birth to block"
in such manner that the effects of
different combinations of feed are
made apparent. Every mouthful. .of
feed is carefully weighed, and the pro-
portion of each ingredient in the days
ration noted. This work is to be car
ried on until the Observers shall know
exactly what and how much food it
requires to produce certain gain in
the period from birth to any given
time in the steers life. The, element
of chance will thus be practically
eliminated from the StOcK-ralSlng IN
dustry, SO far as the productionsof
beef is concerned: to eliminate it from
the marketing is another question:!
One thing is already demonstrated:
that the cattleman who fattenS his
animals ''from birth to block" has a
much better chance of satisfactory
returns than he who sells half-groWn
feeders for some one else to "finiSh"
for marketing. The latter turns over
to the stock-yard men, to feeders and
the railroads very large share of the
profits which might have been his.

The value of farming land depends
very largely on the distance from a
market. A good road has the effect
of shortening the time required for
carrying load of produce to market,
which is practically the same thing
as shortening the distance, Howard
H. Gross, in the Two Harbors (Minn.)
News, relates the story of a hard
headed German farmer at Sheboygan,
who, in very graphic and compre-
hensive way, told of the value of good
roads as it appeared to him. He said:
"My farm is ten miles from market.
If it was only five miles from market
it would be worth Sl5 an acre more.
/ cannot move my farm in, but if we
can build good road to my farm /
can come in the ten miles with my
produce easier than l could come in
five miles TO town."

Lillian will offer here upon the occa-
sion OF her visit is quite new having
been launched about a month back in
Chicago II is a breezy story of mod
ern tendencies with a wealth of hui
morous detail worked out of novel sit
uaticns and a theme that is a novelty
in itself The story concerns the ef-
forts of Georgiana CLAIBORNE dash
ing widow, to find second husband.
She has declared 10 her intimates that
she viii not marry anybody but prov
en- sinner. Her reasons date back 10
recoliections of boredom spent with a
husband who was 100 good to be COM
panionable. Following a proper per
iod OF mourning the widow meets
man she can like ano is disappointed
10 find that he is looked upon as a
paragon of ne virtues. Being believ-
er in the silent forces CT suggestion
the widow impresses her yearning up
on this innocent victim and would have
him believe himself a sinner that ne
might qualify for her hand She sue
ceeds in her desire 70 an extent that
alerms her and then she finds that af-
Ter al she does not want any different
man than the average woman. In de-
veIoping these IDEAS Miss Thompson
has shown ingenuity in construction
and an invention of humorous detail
that is prodigious. The very novelty
OF the theme makes il lauEhable and
she Keeps the fun going ar d merry

to the stage The Three Twins" he
entirely changed the prevailing style
of musical comedy. Up to that time
musical plays had depended almost up
on their music and their chorus, the
story counting for little. But in Three
Twins Mr.. Gates gave the stage a
real comedy Hith a musical setting, a
comedy that had stood alone without
the musical accompaniment. Since
then other managers have attempted
the same thing with more or less sue
cess but it has remained for Mr. Gates
to offer a real companion to Three
Twins" This companion is Bright
Eyes" which comes to the Grand.
Davenport, for two nights, next Sun

"Incog'' and Bright Eyes" is a must
