Farmers Fight Tariff Reductions

Denver.-The report of the sugar
beet committee of the Farmers Edu-
cational and Cooperative Union Of
Colorado was embodied in resolution
offered before the annual meeting in
the Albany hotel. More than 100 del
egates from the various chapters Of
the union throughout the state attend
ed the gathering, which closed follow
ing the election of officers and BAN
quet.
Last September the northern dis
trict board of the union selected a
committee of six, of which three were
sent to Washington to present the
conditions under which Colorado farm
ers raise sugar beets, in relation to
the proposed downward revision OF the
tariff.
According to the resolution submit
ted, the committee proved to the sat
isfaction of their hearers in Washing
ton that the average yield per acre
was 10A tons, and that the average
price paid for the beets is $3.50, and
that this barely allows the beet grow
er to break better than even on his
crops. Any reduction in the tariff
would fall directly upon the farmers,
1t is declared, and to decrease the
price would reduce the price of beets
below the cost of production, they de-
clared.

GERMAN EGG-LAYING TESTS
Results Given OF Experiments Made
to Determine Effect Of Various
Meat Meals on Poultry.

Tests were made short time since
In Germany to determine the effect Of
different meat meals on poultry. Dur
ing these experiments 1t was found
That the egg production ceased earlier
than with normal hens. Fish meal
was more favorable for egg produc-
lion than meat meal. The eggs were
of poorer flavor than normal eggs,
and could not be preserved in the
usual way.
The meat meal increased the in
tensity of the yellow color OF the yolk.
The flesh of the birds fed meat meal
was normal as regards taste and
odor, though slightly changed in color,
melting point and fat. which were
higher than normal, but lower than
normal with fish meal. When fed
cadaver meal the flesh OF the fowl
had rancid taste, and whenever fed
should be free from fat as possible.
tuberculosis beef did not cause tuber-
culosis in the hens.

But the rest of the joke is funnier

The Essential Facts.

Carefully analyzing all of Mr.. Roose-
yelt's various statements in regard to
the Standard Oil contribution, we
find the facts to be essentially as fol-
lows:
1. The Standard Oil company new
er contributed to his campaign fund
2. If the Standard Oil company did
contribute 100000 to his campaign
fund he never knew about It,
8. As soon as he heard of the
Standard Oil company's contribution,
he ordered the 800, 900 returned.
4. The money was not returned
but If 1t had been returned Prick Of
the steel trust would have made good
the deficit
