GUARBSNER SHY
At BIG WAR
GAME
IFrom Monday s Advertiser.l

AAAum Muhude = AuNehNittisl
Army maneuvers, in which all the
branches of the regular army stationed
in Hawaii will take part and which will
be held on the Island of Hawaii in
October, are now being planned by a
special board, appointed by General NJ.
NJ. Macomb. The members are Captain
c. G. Carter, Major Wiley and Major
Mcclure. For some reason, concerning
which the regular army men and the
militia men are reticent, the militia
will not take part in the maneuvers
this year.
Adiutant General John W. Jones, in
command of the local militia, after some
hesitation stated last night that there
were "many reasons which would
justify the militia in keeping out of
the big drill. Two Of these reasons
said Colonel Jones, were that: "The
militia men receive no pay from the
Territory for their service during
maneuvers and many Of them cannot
afford TO sacrifice the time without
recOmpense, and secondly they would
be unable TO take part at the time APP
pointed by the board
Apart from these plausible grounds
for withdrawing from the regular
army's exercises, il is rumored among
army men that there were misunder.
standings between the two branches of
the service in the islands which per.
haps do not amount TO III feeling, but
have been sufficient to prevent the com.
bined field practise.
In appointing the board which is
working out the detailed plans for the
October outing the commanding officer
instructed his subordinates TO give out
no information upon it and when inter.
viewed last night he did not volunteer
any enlightenment, so the exact time,
place and general character of the
prospective work is not known. Con.
corning the militia General Maeomb
said systematically, "The militia can
come in If they want Ia"
Captain Walter johnson, the regular
army officer detailed as inspecting in.
structor to the militia, stated empha.
tically last night that the militia would
not participate in the maneuyers, and
said further that he did not care to
give the specific reason for their atti
tude in the matter.

POISONING BY coTTCa SEED
One Of Best Of Fattenins Agents for
Live Stock, but Injurious II

II is . well established fact that
cotton seed, in the form OF meal or
cake, is one OF the best OF ~fattening
agents for live stock.y 1t is also well
established that II viii poison stock

enough and in large quantities.
With the idea OF finding the toxic
principle II possible and the length
Of time within which cotton seed
may be fed with safety the Arkansas
station has conducted a series OF eT.
periments from which the following
conclusions are drawn:
With two lots OF steers which were
fed a daily ration of AZ pounds and
3.6 pounds, or O.9 pounds per 100
weight OF live animal, the length Of
time which elapsed before symptoms
Of poisoning appeared was 70 days.
where the larger, amount was fed,
and 116 days with the smaller
amount. This means that in case Of
the larger ration the animals ate rs
per cent. of their own weight before
poisoning appeared, and with the
smaller ration they ate 1OS per cent.
From these experiments It would
appear that the usual custom Of feed
ing cotton seed meal to cattle during
the whole period of fattening full
fed steers is wrong ana likely to re-
suit in damage, but II used curing
the latter part OF the feeding period
or on short fed steers the danger Is
either eliminated or greatly lessened.
Ordinarily, cotton seed meal can
be used in the fattening ration with
perfect safety, provided that care is
used to see that the animals do not
get during the fedIng period an
amount Of the meal approximating
10 per cent. OF their live weight.
In the experiments referred to the
poisonous principle was not found,
though 1t is suspected to lie ip the de-
composition and putrefactive changes
which take place in the digestive
system Of the animal.

orably contracted for.
You are rude, sir" snapped Gabriel
