Why the Cost of Living

Senator Crawford, of South Dakota,
Friday gave his approval to a proposal
of Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale univer-
sity, that an international commission
be created to study the causes of the
present high cost of living and to
report to the respective governments
what remedies should be applied. This
proposal was made by Prof. Fisher at
one of the sectional meetings of the
American Economic association in ses-
sion then in Washington. Senators
Crawford, Lodge, of Massachusetts,
and Smoot, of Utah, were invited to
attend. Each made a speech indorsing
the plan of an international commits
sion.
Mr.. Crawford expressed the hope
that the idea would be brought TO the
attention Of congress and embodied in
appropriate legislation. He pledged
his support to any measure that might
be presented in this connection. Sem

belief that the problem of high prices
was universal and for that reason the
subject should be treated by an inter-
national body having the support of
the powers of the world. Inquiries
made by congressional committees, he
pointed out, were powerless to get at
all the facts, which could be adduccd
only by a commission, backed by
authority, and representative of all the
countries affected.
The statements of Senators Lodge,
Smoot and Crawford, together with
those made by many eminent econo-
mists, will be brought to the attention
of President Taft with a view to induc-
ing him to invite the powers to join in
a conference as a step preliminary to
the creation of commission for the

gree. Here is a cow that can be a
fairly good milker-sometimes a rec
ord breaker-and at the same time has
good leshing properties. so that a steer
from her would make a fairly good
beef animal and sometimes a prize

The dual purpose animal, while 1t
will respond to the best feed, good

along without these better than can
the highly specialized animal. Dual
purpose cows are less liable to disease,

fore, ' len it was found that the ration
containing nitrogen invariably cost
more than the ration of corn alone.
Furthermore. the relative cost of each

the lots receiving rations in which
nitrogen formed a part. The greater

Wheat bran and oats are what
make the bones strong in a colt.
Hay should never be combed

Colts and mares which have
been on pasture all summer
should he fed a little grain daily
for two or three weeks before
they are changed to dry feed for
the winter.
If possible every horse stall
should be six feet wide and nine
feet long, for then the animal
can turn around and lie down
comfortably. The floor, too,
should be nearly level.

The indians object

The Standing Rock Soiux have just
ended what will probably be the last
general council they viii ever hold, con-
corning tts disposal OF their surplus
lands.
They are strongly opposed to the
opening Of the remainder of the reser-
walton at this time, and have selected
a delegations of eight men to present
their views to the Indian committee.
Their main objections appear to be that
there is such a small amount of surplus
land left. and the most of that only
grazing land. They say it might as well
be left for the Indians intact.
They also point out that there thous~
ands of acres of good lands vacant left
in the portion opened in 1908, and that
it would be better to settle that first
before opening any MORE. The Indians
will make the fight of their lives to
retain their diminished reservation
intact, mainly because the want to
have free range for their cattle and
horses. The Sioux on the Standing
Rock reservation have become success
full stock raisers and take naturally to
the cowboy life. They have before
shown much aptitude for farming.

open reservations to settlement regard
less of the wishes Of the Indians, it has
always been customary to consult with
them before passing any Legislation

BLUE GRASS FOR E E

Interesting Experiment In Feeding at
tne Missouri Station.
1t remained for the Missouri expert
ment station to conduct a careful test
showing what feeds could be most
economically used in connection with
blue grass. says Orange Judd Farmer
The work was done under the dIrer
ton of Professor +. Il. MumfOrd. The
main object Of the experiment wa
to determine how to most rapidly in
crease the weight of cattle during their
fattening period and also how to i'm
prove the quality of the beef. Repre-
sentatives of the Hereford, Shorthorn
and Angus breeds were used in this
test. They were good cattle and Were
high grades, containing from one-halt
to seven-eighths pure blood.
The average of the five years work
shows that where heterogeneous supple
mentary feeds were used with young
cattle, the rate Of gain was greater
than when corn alone constituted the
sole grain ration. This is in line with
other tests Of the kind and was to be
expected. One explanation given by
Professor Mumford is that the larger
gains resulted because of the palatabil-
ity of the supplementary ration, result
ing in the consumption Of larger guam
titles of feed. 1t was quite fully demon
strated that 1t is highly profitable to
feed at least a limited amount Of nitrog-
enous food during the latter stages of
the feeding period. particularly to
cattle that have been receiving a grain
ration consisting of corn only.
The character Of the food had a great
deal to do with the quality of the beef,
as shown by slaughter tests. 1t was
found that where heterogeneous rations
were used, the beef was Of a higher
character than when corr alone was
fed. 1t was also found that more uni
form and consistent gains resulted
from the feeding Of some heterogeneous
