Testing METHODS
OF Feeding
CATTLE
PROF. SMITH SELECTS 8 FARMERS
TO FEED STOCK UNDER HIS
DIRECTION.

Agricultural College, Jan. 31.-Prof.
Archibald Smith has inahgurated a
way of extending an interest in live
stock that is of great practical value.
He has selected three men during the
fall who promised to feed cattle under
his direction. Mr.. Olson of Elliott has
been feeding cotton seed meal and
hulls; Mr. ]. w. Powers of Durant is
using lespedesa hay, corn, cob meal
and cotton seed meal; Mr.. ]. M. AID
rich of Michigan City feeds on corn
silage and cotton seed meal. The idea
of this work is to demonstrate right
on the farm the profits to be derived
from finishing cattle for the Chicago,
st. Louis and Kansas City markets.
The farmer too often thinks that he
cannot do what the experiment sta
ton does as he has not the facilities.
When this work is done by a practi-
cal farmer and his neighbor can see
that he can do 1t without state money
it encourages him to see that farmers
can do what the experiment stations
do.
Professor Smith is willing to CO.
operate with a number more of feed
ers during the next year with view
of getting accurate information rela-
tive to conditions best suited for feed
ing cattle for the market. The cost
of grain and the profits will be fig
ured. The prime object Of this work
is to get fertilizer by marketing the
farm crops through cattle and keep
ing the fertilizer value on the farm
thereby making a profit by the sale
in this way and obtaining needed fer.
tilizer without buying it from fertilizer
factories.
1t does not take man Of experience
to do this work, as Professor Smith
will furnish the information on his Wis
its to the farmers.

KICK FROM MULE
WAS WORTH $500

Enid, Okla, Jan. 31.-A kick on the
head by mule was worth $500 to
John Allen, farmer living near here.
Immediately after Allen was operated
on for fracture of the skull which
the mules hoof bad inflicted last Sat
urday, he remembered where he had
buried that amount of money during
the financial panic of 1907.
Aliens memory was impaired by an
injury he received when his team ran
away and threw him out of a wagon
a few days after he had buried the
money. 1t was known that he had
withdrawn the money from bank
and several persons suspected oil
stealing Aliens hoard were arrested
but meme was convicted.
After the operation made necessary
by the mules kick, Allen seemed en-
tirely to have recovered his memory

Except for the visit of Representa-

Mr. Glass gave Mr.. Wilson an &C.

"Mr. Glass pleased me-" said the
governor, "by telling me that the at

While talking about banking re-
