light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight mares"
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques-
ton being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding of
horses, What kind of mares should
l use? / want to know all things con-
sidered, whether | should buy a 1900
pound, 1,400 pound or a 100 pound
mare?" In other words, the land
owner as a business man wanted to
know What would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative eff
cheney on the farm and what the rela-
tive market value of the colts pro-
duced, of these three classes of mares.
Here is how he thinks out the mat
ter and his thinking was based on eX-
tended observation and experience:
All three classes can, of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen.
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency, if we rate the LOO pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
anee Is made if the l, 450 pound horse
is credited at 80 per cent, and the
1900 pound horse at so per cent The
colts bred to a good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1900
pounds; colts from 1850 pound mares
1000 to LOO pounds, and colts from
LOO pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years Of age. The
same is true of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing the
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier,
or If carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices adj
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
more than $40 to $175 on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to LOO
pounds will bring 5000 to $240, and
heavy weight geldings will bring $500
TO $3.50. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

USING GROUND
FEED FOR HOGS
Fed An Conjunction with Corn
VIII Bring Animals UP to
Large Weight IN
Short Time.

In finishing hogs / make a slop of
ground oats and shelled corn (ground)
and a small handful of oilmeal to each
hog, says writer in Swine Breeders
Journal. This feed, in conjunction
with ear corn, or shock corn if posi-
BILE, will bring hogs up to large
weights in a surprisingly short time.
l believe that most up-to-date stock
raisers will agree that with such kinds
of grain as wheat, rye and barley,
grinding and mixing with other feeds
is absolutely essential. For example,
no one would think of feeding wheat
to hogs without first thoroughly soak
ing it or running it through a feed
mill. 1t may not be necessary to grind
it very fine, but it should at least be
crushed pretty completely, or ground
fine enough so that the hard, compact
portions of the grain will not go
through the animal, undigested. This
is true for old as we'll as young ami
mails.
Another point upon which most peo-
pie will agree is that for the young
growing stock, especially animals
which do not have a full set of teeth,
grinding is necessary. 1t not only en-
ables young animals to get more of
their feed, but they eat greater guam
titles and grow much more rapidly.
On unground feed of the type noted,
a young animal would do very little
good; but If wheat, barley, rye, ETC.,
be ground and mixed with little corn,
they will thrive.

moisture by evaporation. When the
ground is kept fine and level, less sur

DIED OF FALL FROM WAGON.
Albert Franz Mas Four Ribs prlv.
on Into Me Lungs.

Albert Franz, whose home was
Is miles northwest of this city,
fell from his wagon while driv-
ing home Sunday, Oct. goth, and
died on the Wednesday following
from the injuries he sustained.
He had the wagon loaded with
coal, and what happened can only
be conjectured from the nature
Of his injuries. It would seem
that he had fallen from the wag-
on and that the wheels had passed
over his chest, for four of his
ribs were broken and the ends
driven into his lungs. He also
suffered from hemorrhage of the
brain. He was found about an
hour after the accident crawling
on his hands an. dknees towards
home. He was given every possi-
BILE care, but his injuries were
too great for any human aid to
overcome and death relieved his
sufferings.
He was 81 years Of age at the
time Of his death and leaves a
wife and large family of child
rem to mourn his loss.

New York, Nov. 6.-Overturn-
ing big republican majorities in
states never before captured by
the democrats in a presidential
election, the Wilson-Marshall
ticket swept into victory and car
rid with it state Offices, congress
sional seats and the control of
several legislatures that will have
the opportunity to oust republi-
cans from the United States SEN
ate and add to the democratic
strength in that body.
Second only in interest to the
ovrwhelming victory Of Governor
Wilson and his running mate,
Govrnor Marshall Of Indiana, was
the strength shown by Colonel
Roosevelt in Illinois, Pennsylvan
ia and other states. On returns
received up to { o'clock yesterday
afternoon from states where the
results were reasonably certain
it appeared that Governor Viii
son would have 400 of the 63i
votes in the electoral college, and
that Colonel Roosevelt would
have nearly 100. President Taft
had received ~ votes, those OF

LODGE CASE
IN the COURTS
increase In Rates Held Equivalent
to Reducing Benefits In the
Woodmen Fight.

Des Moines; l,wa, Oct. 22.--
The insurgents won every point
in the famous Modern Woodmen
of America case in an opinion
handed down by State District
Judge Charles Bradshaw here to-
day. He denied the proposed in
crease in the rates of fraternal
insurgent society.
Judge Bradshaw held that the
proposd change in the law was
a direct violation of the vested
contract rights of the insurgents
as we'll as other members and was
null and void so far as it attemp-
ted to change the rates without
the consent of the members; that
the amendments to the articles Of
association were illegal and void
because not adopted by a two
thirds vote Of the members that
the new law proposed to change
rates and plans of insurance and
both are part of the members
conract; that there is no differ
ence between reducing the a.
mount of the benefit and increas-
ing the amount charged for the
benefit.
The decision is sweeping and
the head officers who are oppos-
ed to the action are expected to
appeal. The decision affects ev-
cry one Of the 100000 members
of the society which is twenty
eight years old and covers the
entire country.
