Work of Sugar Factory

At the close of business October 81,
the Iowa sugar factory had received
20 tt ain loads of 30 cars each, 600 car
loads, or $4,000 tons of sugar beets.
These trains in one line would reach
over five miles of track. This is not
counting the tons of beets that have
been delivered by wagon. Somebody
has been working. Since the 1911
campaign began, the factory has ship
ped out Is carloads of sugar mostly to
Iowa cities. There are 300 people
working in Waverly for the sugar fac
tory. At the weigh stations outside of
Waverly there are rs men employed.
And there are l,40O men, women and
children in the fields helping the far

Winter rood For Sows.

In wintcring young sows ration
of 1-35 meat meal showing GO per
cent protein is more economical than
corn alone. In experimental work at
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
Station it was found that pound of
meat meal replaced as high as seven
to ten pounds of ear corn in feeding
winter gifts. Alfalfa hay is held out
as good winter food for sows and
the Iowa Experiment Station says
that for old sows it is very profit
able and economical.

Preparations for the 1911 Inter
national.'

A babel of noise is churning the at
mosphere of the scene of the greatest
of all live stock displays, the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition at Chi
cago. Preparation is being made on q
stupendous scale for the largest dis
play of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep
since the inception of that magnificent
enterprise. An army of mechanics and
laborers is on the ground setting the
gigantic stage on which the show will
be presented to the people of the North
continent. If the largest
list of entries on record warrants such
prediction, the 1911 International will
throw its forerunners in the shade and
each of them was credited with ha:ing
marked climax.
The spacious grounds will be taste
fully decorated and brilliantly illumi-
mated, the night setting of the exterior
being an added feature. The interior
of the mammoth pavilion will present
a series OF surprises when ready for
occupation by the equine and bovine
contenders for honors.
Preparation for the International
Live Stock Exposition, which will this
year be held from December End to 9th
is no insignificant task. Hundreds of
artisans consuming month or more in
out plans laid down long pre-
viously. Material by the train load is
consumed and each year finds new
ideas adopted for the benefit of show
men and the comfort of visitors.

Criminal Law and the Beef Packers

Criminal Law ana the beeI FaCAeIs
The government first instituted pro-
ceedings against the Beef Trust on
May 10, 1902. fling petition for
temporary injunction. That was nine
wears and five months ago.
Ten days later the temporary injunc-
ton issued year and seventeen days
thereafter it was made permanent and
on Jan. 81, 1905, it was sustained by
the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
The last six years have been occu-
pied with Investigations by five federal
grand juries, the return and amend
ment of indictments, hearings on de.
murrers, special pleas and other mat
tiers interposed for delay.
Federal Judge Humphreys famous
Immunity BATH" for issuing which
President Roosevelt scathingly denoun-
ced him, for years kept the packers
from facing a jury to try them for
their liberty.
On Tuesday the indicted packers sur
rendered themse Ives in Judge Kohl
saat's court and their attorneys ap-
piled in their behalf for writ of hab-
cas- corpus sought on the ground that
the criminal section of the Sherman
law, under which they were indicted,
is unconstitutional for vagueness in not
describing the act constituting the al
legged crime. The court released the
prisoners on new bonds and the hear
ing on the application now engages
him.
The effect of this course is to secure
a delay of several years more. The
contest between the government and
the packers will centre about the con-
stitutionality of the criminal clause of
the Sherman act. Finally held to be
constitutional that door will be shut
against the packers, but the versatility
revealed by their lawy ers indicates
they may find another door open.
Even if the packers shall 60 to trial,
several years additional must elapse
before their conviction-should they be
convicted-shall be confirmed by the
court of last resort.
There seems every warrant for the
assertion that when the time comes for
the government to swing shut the
doors of prison cell against them
they will be dead.
The delay attending the criminal
prosecution of the packers constitutes
q scandal without parallel in Ameri-
can legal Jurisprudence. Even if the
prosecution shall fail of its purpose to
put law.breakers behind the bars it
cannot fail forcibly to remind the pub
lie of the difficulties besetting any at
tempt to put the stripes upon rich
criminals, nor fail to stimulate COM
polling demand for reform that shall
give the prisoner at the bar no more
chance than has the prisoner at the
English bar.
1t is a remarkable fact that since
the rules of our court practice were
laid down more than century ago
they have not been adapted to meet
changing needs and are wholly made
auate for dealing with that promptness
and justice imperative in the govern
ment's relation to offenders against its
laws.
Desirable as is the conviction of the
heads of the lawless trust, more de-
sirable and necessary is it that the
weakness of our present practice be
remedied so that in future the heads of
the one hundred and one other crimi-
nal trusts may be speedily required to
expiate their offenses in prison.

Fattsnins Steers on si'ase.

Fattsnins Steers on siage.
Corn silags is a cheap and efficient
meat producer.
Thorough tests made at the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Station
demonstrated that conclusively. A
lot of ten two-year-old steers fat
tened on ration consisting chiefly
of silage and sold on the Chicago
market brought better net returns
than three similar lots which had
been fattened on other rations.
Though they were sold on disas-
trous market, such as old-timers had
not seen for many years, the silagc
fed animals lacked only 2 cents per
hundred weight of beef of bringing
enough to pay for every pound OF
feed they ate. The other lots lacked
from 5 cents to % cents per hundred
weight.
The rations fed the four different
lots, which comprised animals which
were as uniform as possible, were as
follows:
Lot 1-Shelled corn, cotton seed
meal, clover hay.
Lot 2-Shelled corn, cotton seed
meal (for last sixty days only, Glow
er hay and limited silage.
Lot 3-Shelled corn, cotton seed
meal, clover hay and unlimited sill
age.
Lot 4-Shelled corn, cotton seed
meal and unlimited silage.
Estimating carefully the value CT

the $50 days of the test, and includ-
ing the profits from the hogs which
were fattened 9with the steers, Pro-
lessor w. J. Kennedy and Expert

Of the work figured the necessary

nav for fsod consumed to be as fol-
lows:
Necessary price, lot 1, $500; lot 2,
1918; lot 8, $6.15; lot 4, $500.
Actual selling price, lot l, $500;
lot 2, 500; lot 8, $40; lot 4, $500.
These figures show that the re-
turns from the animals in lot 4, fed
chiefly On silage, came nearest to
paying for the feed consumed and
lacked only a little per steer of do
ing so.
The experiment demonstrated es-
pecially the value of silage for short
feeding. In other words, the silage
cattle did she best in comparison.
