CATTLE FEED DAY
Nearly $500 Kansans Will At
tend Manhattan Meeting.
College Authorities VIII Ex-
plain Feeding Discoveries.

Manhattan, Kan, April S.-Winter-
ing of calves, what it costs and the
conditions of the calves in the spring,
are questions that interest all farm
ers and particularly cattle feeders.
The animal huSbandry department of
the Kansas Agricultural college will
answer these questions May 2, when a
Cattle Feeders Day. is to be OBJ
served at Manhattan. The $500 re-
corded cattle feeders in Kansas will
be invited to attend the meeting.
The calf experiment was announced
through the press when it began in
January. Briefly, it consists of feed
ing five lots as nearly equal as posi-
bic in age, size, quality and condition.
The five lots numbered fifty, high
grade Hereford calves, bought from
c. A. Johnson of Russell county. The
purpose in the first three lots is to de-
termine the comparative value of corn
kafir and sorghum silage for winter
ing growing calves, by using cotton
seed meal as q source of protein. In
lot 4 alfalfa hay has been fed in such
quantities as that the total amount of
protein consumed would be the same
as in lot 1. In other words the COM
pariSon between lot L and lot is one
regarding alfalfa and cottonseed meal
as source of protein. In lot the
alfalfa has been limited to the same
quantities as that eaten by lot f. Cane
slower has been fed according to appe-
tite and in addition, a sufficient amount
of shelled corn has been fed to equal
that contained in the silage fed to lot
4. This is the menu:
Lot Corn silage according to ap-
petite. One pound of cottonseed
meal to the calf, daily. Lot 2-Kafir
silage according to appetite One
pound of cottonseed meal. Lot 5
Sorghum silage according to appetite.
One pound of cottonseed meal Lot
Corn silage according to appetite.
Alfalfa hay according to appetite. Lot
5-Alfalfa hay according to appetite.
Corn slower according to appetite and
a limited ration of shelled corn.
The calves will have been on these
rations for 100 days, May 2, when the
animal husbandry department will re-
port the results to the cattle feeders.

Healthy Baby is
TT cious Blessing
To Make 1t Healthy and
Keep 1t Healthy Use a Re-
liable Baby Laxative

In spite of the greatest personal care
and the most intelligent attention to
diet, babies and children will become
constipated, and it is a fact that con-
stipation and indigestion have wrecked
many young life. To start with
good digestive apparatus is to start
life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great

DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal
medicine for children, and it is also
very pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure
in its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little of it is required and its
frequent use does not cause it to lose
its effect, as is the case with SO many
other remedies
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc, among them

Judge Sustained Demurrer.

Fort Scott, Kan, April S.-The case
of Daniel Belcher, of Arcadia, against
J. T. Fowler, administrator of the es-
tate of the late D. L. Mohon and the
heirs of the estate, which is said to be
one of the most remarkable law suits
ever brought in a district court in Kan
sas, was ended in a manner most I'M
expected by the plaintiff and his attor-
neys. when it was thrown out of court
by Judge Curran on a demurrer to the
evidence. Attorney Hubert Lardner of
this city was associated with Judge j.
J. Campbell on the defense, while the
plaintiff was represented by Attorneys
Sheppard, Boaz, Johnson and w. h
Spreched. The case attracted much at
tention in Crawford county and here,
as the plaintiff had been resident
there for many years, and was suing
the Mahon estate for money alleged to
be due for his life's labor, performed
during a period of twenty-eight years.
Belcher alleged that l. w. Mo-
hon. father of Dennis Mohon, left
Kentucky in 1866. taking with him the
plaintiff who was then Z years old, ana
went to Arcadia, where he engaged IN
the stock raising business and pros
pered.
ReIcher stayed with Mohon and when
he was entering upon manhood his en-
ployer promised him that, If he re-
manned with him he would give him
property when he lied. So Dan T.
stayed on the farm. helping Mohon
amass property until he became one
of the wealthiest men in the county.
In 1896 L. w. Mohon died and Belcher
heard the careful reading of the Will
which left him nothing. He engaged a
lawyer to bring suit.

renewed the promise of property, speci-
fving so acres. and was so frank in MS
dealings that he stayed on the farm
and did not leave.
In 1909 Dennis Mohon died and MS
will did not leave property to the ser
want of IS years.
