WHAT THE EXPERIMENT Shows
"The experiment demonstrates
conclusively that corn silage sol.

cattle feeding in the South. Pro
fitable cattle feeding in the South
is dependent upon home grown
roughage and to use in conjunc-
tion with silage in order to finish
the beeves we have cottonseed
meal which with US is abundant
and cheap. We can fatten steers
in Mississippi on corn silage and

cost than you can feed them

The winters are mild and we
can feed in the open all the years
round and moreover have a long
grazing season.
"Our great drawback up to the
present time has been the pres

er, we are making more progress
in wiping out the tick than any
other state in the South. By the
end of the present season we ex-

of Mississippi free of all ticks and

friction in cattle and northern
breeding stock may be brought
down with no fear of conse-

wonderful opportunity for the de
velopment of commercial cattle

In connection with the remarks
of Prof. Smith we might state
that he speaks with authority
about the cattle tick work as he
has charge or the eradication OF
the pest from Mississippi.
The college cattle were bought
today by Armour & Co. That
packer will slaughter them early
tomorrow morning and keep a
record of the percentages the diff
ferent lots dress, quality of beef,
etc. These figures will be used
by Prof. Smith in getting up a
cattle feeding bulletin which
will be issued by the college pro-
badly within the next sixty days.

purpose of demonstrating the efli
cheney and economy OF various
native feeds the cattle had been
handled in four lots. Two lots
fed on cottonseed meal and silaec

on cottonseed meal, hulls and
corn stover sold at $40.
TO a representative OF the Re

"We divided the cattle int"

We started them at 5 pounds ol

per steer. We gave them all the
silage they would clear up, which
was about 40 pounds per day

AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
Prof. O'Gara and Others Recognize
Waves of Shock, According to
MedfOrd Sun.

Medford Sun: An earthquake of
five seconds duration, in two dis
tinct shocks, was felt in Medford
Saturday by Prof. P. j. O'Gara and
score of others. The temblor Gre
ated no damage aside from the
cracking of the pavement on East
Main street. The first shock was felt
at 12:40 and was of two seconds
duration. The second came fifteen
seconds later and lasted for three
seconds. AS far as the weather de-
partment records show this is the
first shock in this valley.
The effects of the quake were
most perceptibly felt in the Garnett-
Corey building. The elevator man
reported that the cage rocked and
that the cable swung back and forth,
as if man was shaking it with his
hands. In DR.. Tylow's office in the
same building dishes ratified and
some dropped from the shelf to the
floor Mrs. Phil Hammil was one of
those who noticed the shock.
Professor OGara was seated at his
desk when the first shock came, and
instinctively looked at his clock. His
first impression was that the build
ing had been struck by some heavy
object. A few seconds later the sec
ond quake came. II lived so long in
California" said Professor O'Gara
that l at once recognized the ma
ture of the disturbance.
"The course of the quake seemed
to be from north to SOUTH" said Pro-
fessor O'Gara, "and was probably
caused by a slippage of rock in the
earth. The disturbance was second
ary and the parent quake might have
been in the middle of the Pacific
ocean. AS far as ! have been able
to find the seismograph stations at
San Francisco and Seattle failed to
record any disturbance.
Very few people knew that al
earthquake had visited the city, and
the crack in the pavement on East
Main street was mystery. 1t is Y
shaped and about len feet long.

E. A. Sherwin, one of the best

a narrow escape from death Friday
night. Mr.. Sherwin, who was COM
PEELED to resign the management of
the local telephone exchange some
months ago, because of continued i'll
health, was stricken with nose
bleed Friday night. Drs. Parsons
and Boslough were called and
worked several hours before the
hemorrhage was stopped, and then
only by means of plugging the nos

win very weak, but at last reports
he was holding his own.
Mr.. Sherwin is secretary of the
various Masonic bodies in this city,
and one of the best-known Masons
in southern Oregon. A host of
friends and brothers pray for his
speedy recovery.

Bad MorHERs. BEST oHIIDREN.
Psychologist Also Declares Equal
Suffrage a Failure in Australia.

Washington, March 15.-That bad
mothers raise better and more vigor-
Gus children than good mothers was
the assertion made last night by DR..
Gustave Blumenthal, a noted physi-
ologist of Australia, before the Home
and School Association. DR.. Blumen-
thai also declared suffragists were
"spinsters who had missed the matri-
monial market" He asserted that
woman suffrage was a complete fail
ure in Australia.
Good mothers send more boys TO
Jail and into the evils of crime" he
said, than do bad mothers. The
indifference of bad mother is bet
ter for the child in its battles with
life later on than the pampering love
lavished on him by an over-fond par
ent."
Blumenthal would encourage fight
ing among boys, and said he would
even go SO far as to give his boy a
reward for every black eye the lad
gave his opponent without receiving
one in return. He declared there
were too many ladies and gentlemen
and not enough men and women in
the present age.

ENTERTAINMENT A DECIDED SUCCESS
PROGRAM GIVEN BY GRADES OF WEST SCHOOL, FRIDAY EVENING
NETTED $40 AND REFLECTED MUCH CREDIT ON SCHOOL

kept the audience in a roar from
start to finish.
The boys of the second and third
grades sang the "Gobblers" song
with motion accompaniments. 1t
was well done.
Clare Tucker gave a recitation
which was well received, speaking
clearly and with good expression.
patriotic drill by girls of the
fifth grade, accompanied by the
singing of Columbia, the Gem of
the Ocean," was certainly we'll done.
and was well received and heartily
applauded.
Four little girls of the First
grade then sang a cradle song to
their dollies, which drew much ap-
plause.
Ernest Abbott gave a humorous
recitation which made a decided hit.
Bernice Myer and Edith Moody
gave piano solo which pleased the
audience and showed much pro-
ficiehcy on their part.
The program closed with a Japan
ese drill and song by girls of the
fourth grade. 1t was done in cos
tune, with parasol and fan, and
was very picturesque as we'll as ex-
cellently done.
OF the proceeds $40 have been
given to the West Side Parent
Teacher Circle to help fit up the
rest room. The rest will go to the
library fund.
If the Tidings might make a sug-
gestion it would be that a portion
of the money received be diverted
to the equipment of a rolling curtain
for the front of the platform. A
poorly working curtain mars more
entertainments in rooms not espec-
tally provided with a good one, than
any other one thing, and an awk.
ward delay because curtain will
not work has ratified more young
sters in school entertainments than
all other things combined. A good
roll curtain could be provided for
the center of the room and ordinary
curtains used at the sides at COM
paratively small cost and could be
so arranged as not to interfere with
the regular use of the school room.

CASHIER SHY 100000
Trusted Employe of Crocker Ma
tional Bank at Oakland is a
Defaulter. }

San Francisco, March 14-WhiIe
the United States marshal waited at
the Oakland home of Charles f. Ba-
ker, assistant cashier of the Crocker
National bank, for him to become
sufficiently well to be placed in Jail,
the completed investigation into his;
defalcations shows him embezzle-
ments to total 100000 in round
numbers, according to a statement
from an official source Two com
plants against Baker were filed to-
day and warrant issued for his ar
rest.
In the local financial circles it
was predicted freely three brokerage
houses with which Baker became in
volved through extensive stock spec
ulations may share his downfall
through losing membership in the
New York stock exchange.
This idea is based on a ruling OF
the exchange some months ago that
any member accepting business from
an employe of bank without the
approval of the board OF directors of
the bank should he subject to dis
missal. Apparently all the money
which Baker misappropriated was
used in playing the New York stock
market.

PLOT TO ROB OLD BANK
Pioneer Institution at Jacksonville
Was TO Have Been Victim of
Yeggmen.

Medford Sun: A yeggman's plot
to rob the Bank of Jacksonville,
owned by c. c. Beekman, was
thwarted the last ten days by the
sheriff's office through "tip" fur
nished by the Pinkerton Detective
Agency of Portland. For the last
week men have guarded the building
in anticipation of the coming of the
safe-crackers. AS a precautionary
move, the largest portion of the
money in the safes of the institution
and valuable papers were shipped
away.
The tip that the bank was to be
robbed came first from the Pinker-
tons at Portland, where the plot was
Matched and the details of the raid
made The plans Of the robbers, six
in number, were told to the detec-
tive agency by man ION the i'll
side" The Pinkertons have charge
of the protection of the bank, and
sent man to Jacksonville and laid
plans for the capture of the yeggs
Every train reaching this city was
also guarded by Pinkertons, to
shadow the suspects when they ar
rived.
AS soon as the news became
known the sheriff's office placed q
guard around the bank. 1t was in
tended to keep the news secret, but
citizens of Jacksonville were curious
to know why armed men were wan
dering around the building at night
and the information leaked out that
plot to rob the bank was being
watched The sheriff's office admit
ted last night that they had been
guarding the bank for week and
that the money had been shipped
away.
The Bank of Jacksonville is one
of the oldest and richest financial
institutions institutions in the state
and its vaults are generally well
laden with gold dust and money. Be-
cause of it's isolation and the lack OF
police protection it was viewed by
the yeggs as soft"

Smooth Confidence Man and Check
Artist Tried to Pass Checks
Here But Failed.

The police of California are look
ing for a smooth confidence man
who tried to operate here last week
under the name of Howard Taylor.
His scheme was to pose as a repre-
sentative of the Euick automobiles,
and after establishing himself in the
confidence of the would-be agent he
got him to cash a check.
While here he approached the
Fourth street livery and made ar
rangements to place the agency with
Mr.. Daney and they got the place
prepared for four machines which
he was going to send them. But
when he sprung the checks on Mr..
Daney and Mr.. Steele they refused
to bite, and he left on the 1875
train one forenoon That afternoon
at 1880 Chief Oien received tele-
gram from Roseburg asking his ar
rest on the charge of cashing forged
checks there.
He was afterwards arrested at
Dunsmuir but escaped from the Of
ficers. He is described by Chief
Oien as being 5 feet inches in
height, dark complexioned, and be-
ing apparently OF French or Italian
nationality, speaking the English
language imperfectly. He is very
we'll dressed and when he arrived
here wore neat gray Dusinesssuit
and when he left was dressed in
blue.

HAS SAME OLD EXCUSE
Medford Papers Put Up Chestnut
Squeal Over Basketball
Game.

Medford Sun: The Ashland bas
ketball teams carried off both games
with the Medford high school at the
Nat Friday night. The Medford
girls lost Is to IA, and the boys
we're defeated rs to 80. The game
was featured by some old-fashioned
roofing, the biggest crowd of the
season, and the pathetic attempts of
Archibald of Corvallis and Ashland
to act as an official in the game.
Archibald by one high-handed de-
cision took the victory away from
the Medford girls and handed it to
Ashland. This actio nwas so appar-
emily in error that even the highly
partisan Ashland rooters filed loud
protest of disapproval. Helen Pur-
tucker threw basket that decided
the game, and thcn through incom-
potency on the part of a referee was
disqualified.
The boys game was hotly contest
ed and Archibald again made a raw
ruling, exactly like the one perpe-
trated on the Medford girls, that
robbed the boys of the lead and left
the two teams tied. This was in
the first half, and in the second
period the visitors managed to nose
out victory.
The Ashland teams are strong and
fast and with Archibald as an official
can beat any basketball team in the
world.
