Feeding Alfalfa

Timothy and clover have always been
regarded as staple hays in this coun-
try, and they have served US well, but
there is another forage, though not so
we'll known to us, of which there ap-
pears no record when it was not, in
some portions Of the world, known and
appreciated. Alfalfa is being grown
successfully by farmers in every state
of our union, and it is onlyl a matter
OF a short time until ii will be grown
to a greater or less extent on every
farm in Illinois. This fact being rec
ognized, the various agricultural exper-
iment stations have been making tests
to determine its feeding value, and the
following is brief resume of some Of
the more important results obtained:
Nebraska bulletin No. 109 says:
Under conditions existing on most
farms, ton of good, bright alfalfa hay
is worth about the same as a ton of
wheat bran or shorts; possibly more"
Missouri bulletin No. IS says: For
wintering yearling cattle. alfalfa in its
best condition is without doubt more
efficient than either clover or cowpea
hay"
The New Mexico station fed two
year-old range steers, averaging $50
pounds, on alfalfa alone and secured a
gain Of 205 pounds per steer in 12O
days
The Utah station reports test in
which 100 pounds Of gain from feeding
alfalfa hay to cattle cost 1916, from

MAKES NOVEL PLEA.
Frank SamueIs Protests Against
Duty on Ferromanganese.


Duty on Ferromnng ganese.
The Senate Finance Committee yes
terday continued hearings on the I'm
derwood bill revising the metal sched-
ule OF the tariff act. Most of the wit
nesses heard protested against the pro-
posed reductions of the measure, but
there was one novelty injected into
the proceedings when Frank Samuels.
an iron and steel manufacturer, of
Philadelphia, made vigorous protests
against an increase in one paragraph
of the bill. The increase relates TO
the duty on ferromanganese ore. He
said the ferromanganese was a decar-
bomber of steel. and was used In the
manufacture of open-hearth steel. The
proposed increase in duty would in
crease the cost OF production, and at
the same time. he said, the bill reduced
the rate on the finished product 1t
was practically the first instance
where an objection had been made to
increasing the duties.
other witnesses heard in opposition
TO reductions were A. L. Davis, repre-
senting the Pittsburg Aluminium Com
pany; W. L. Kann, representing the
Crushed Steel Company; E. X. Bacon.
OF Mansfield, Ohio. representing the
Globe Steel Company, manufacturers
of shot; Robert z. Hastings, OF Phila-
delphia, and w. F. Boardman, shot

CLARK SAYS PROBE
WILL GO In DEEP
Speaker Issues Statement Guaran-
teeing Thorough Money Trust
Investigation.

Champ Clark, Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives, yesterday made the
following statement:
''On Monday morning the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency will
open a vigorous. thorough, and far
reaching investigation into the money
power. In conducting its work, the COM
mittee will have at its command every
facility within the gift Of Congress. 1t
will be empowered to subpoena and COM
pei the presence of witnesses; it will
have the right 20 punish with contempt
all who refuse to answer questions.
"A resolution comforting such power
will be reported Immediately following
roll call to-day and will be passed by
the House of Representatives without
delay The people have demanded that
an investigation Nto the money power
shall be made. Therefore, II must be
made as complete as human intelligence
will permit. The best possible legal tai
ent will be employed to aid the commit
tee The first witness to be summoned
will be Lawrence Murray. the Comptrol-
Ter Of the Currency. BY virtue of his po-
sition. this Official should have intimate
knowledge OF the money system as 1t
'exists. Therefore, it is wise to begin
with him.
reel sure. lIdI III His SAdAGIHthl
Samuel Untermyer is correct in at least
a number Of particulars. Issues OF bonds
should by all means be controlled by
law.
For instance. it is neither just nor
equitable that a railroad company or
other corporation should be permitted 10
put a new issue of bonds upon the mar
ket without first fling with the proper
authorities proof that II Is possessed OF
property covering dollar for dollar the
value OF those bonds. Otherwise. the pur-
chaser is without assurance that he Is
receiving value for his money
"A law is needed also to prevent bank
ing reserves throughout the country from
being drained into New York. / believe
that such a law would help provide
remedy for at least part Of the trouble.
But the people may rest assured that
the investigation about TO begin will
reach the very nerve centers OF the sit
uation. The members of the committee
realize the necessity for action and are
enthusiastic in their work"

SHERMAN GIVES
TAFT ASSURANCE
New York State Will Be in
Line for the President,
Is His Report.
POLITICS FROM WEST

Vice President Sherman called at the
White House yesterday after a trip 10
New York State and assured the Presi-
dent that he would have practically a
solid delegation from that State. The
Vice President Acknowledged that Mr..
Roosevelt has some strength in several
Of the upstate districts, but he is con-
WINGED that the colonel will be unable 10
carry more than one or two Of the Con-
gressional districts in the entire State
against President Taft.
The Vice President also brought as
surances to the President that Chairman
Barnes, of the Republican State commit
tee. is for Taft and that he will be
found standing firmly in line and doing
his best for the President from now on.
The attack made upon Col. Roosevelt
and some Of La Follette's supporters by
| w. L. Houser, La Follette's manager,
created a stir in Republican circles here
yesterday. The statement by Houser, in
which he accused Roosevelt of treachery
TO La Toilette. is added evidence OF the
serious split that has occurred in the
Progressive Republican ranks. Many Re-
publicans are of the opinion that La Fol-
lette's bitterness toward Roosevelt is so
keen that he will do everything possible
to prevent the Wisconsin delegation from
being thrown TO the colonel in the Chi
cago convention even II 1t finally has to
support President Taft.
Seeks other ScaIps.
But the most interesting feature of
the Houser statement was the intimation
that La FoIlettte at The proper time will
start after the scalps of Senators CIapp
and Cummins and other erstwhile sup
hn and
turned to Col. Roosevelt These men are
fully aware OF La Follette's persistency
and vindictiveness aE a fighter and Of
his ability to make trouble for them.
One thing, however, is now APPARENT, and
that is that the insurgent forces in the
Senate are so badly shattered that they
probably will be unable TO cooperate
effectively with the Democrats in bring
ing about any tariff legislation. La Fol-
lette was head and front OF the insurgent
tariff movement in the special session OF
Congress. but under present cirCum-
stances it will be impossible for him TO
work at all cordially with his former
friends.
Ernest Poindexter. a lawyer of this
city, and a brother Of Senator Poin-
dexter, of Washington, who is known as
an extreme radical, offered TO bet S2,OOO
even that Theodore Roosevelt would be
the Republican Presidential nominee and
another $2OOO on the same terms that
Champ Clark would be the Democratic
selection. He is sorry that he made the
offer, for IL is said that he has had
more than 10000 of good hard cash
offered TO him on the other end OF the
bet
Mr.. Poindexter said last night that
there was no use of anybody else with
money coming to see him, as he had
made a bet with a friend who does not
want his name known.
Mr.. Poindexter seemed anxious to make
it plain that his brother, the Senator,
had nothing to do with his offer to bet
on the Roosevelt-Clark choice.

CLARK HAS SIXTY
INSTRUCTED VOTES

Information received from oklahoma
yesterday at the headquarters Of Speaker
Champ Clark in the Ebbitt House is &c
the effect that the delegation from that
state will be instructed for the Speaker.
Former Gov. Haskell wired that there
was no doubt about Clark getting the
solid delegation.
News also came from Guthrie that the
supporters of Gov. Wilson were seeking
TO compromise with the Clark people and
get them to consent TO a divided dele
cation. It Is not probable that Mr..
clark's managers in Oklahoma would
accede to any such arrangement.
With Missouri instructed for Mr.. Clark
and the full delegation from Oklahoma,
together with four delegates from two
Congressional districts in Kansas that
already have instructed, the Speaker VIII
have sixty delegates. None OF the other
candidates for the Democratic nomination
has any delegates.
