GLUTEN FEED TO DAIRY cows
Good supplementary Food May Be
Prohtably Given In Place Of Bean
Meal-Other Good Feeds.

Gluten feed forms good supple
mentary food for dairy cows and may
be profltably fed to take the place Of
bean meal in forming the concentrat-
ed part Of the ration.
Cows eat gluten feed regularly and
1t may be safely given up to seven
pounds day, though smaller quaint
ties fed as part of a mixture will prob
ably give the better result.
Bean meal and crushed oats have
fully maintained their past reputatiaVS
Of being an excellent food for dairy
cows, but the mixture is more ex-
pensive than an equal weight Of
gluten feed.
Sugar beet is an excellent food for
the dairy cows. There is little dtfli-
Guilty at first in getting some animals
to take to it. It.shows a very marked
effect In stimulating and maintaining
the yield of milk, even when the cows
are advanced in lactation.
Cows fed on sugar beets produce q
cream more difficult to churn than
those fed on an equal weight of tur-
nips and the butter is very pale in
color
Gluten feed is the refuse after the
extraction Of starch from grain and
may be had in two forms. either as
gluten meal or as gluten feed, the lat
ter consisting Of the hull. the gluten
layer and the germ, the hull being alb
sent in the case Of gluten meal 4
The gluten feed is naturally the
lighter fed Of the two and may be
fed to the extent Of seven pounds or
eight pounds daily. It's feeding com.
position approximates fairly closely to
beans and peas and it keeps well.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Cow Should Have Large Middle and
Strong constltutlon-Real Good
Sires Are Rare Thing.

By PROF. W. J. KENNEDY. Iowa Sta
tion.)
In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester. The COW Is a machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have large middle and strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean In ap
pearance; the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch. In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have already
demonstrated their worth as sires or
younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest will always fol-
low the use of a mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records. A
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old; in
fact, as long as he is q sure sire. Real
good sires are 30 rare that when we do
find one he should die only Of old age
All breeders Of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. It II the COW

THE ALASKA RAILROAD
Weekly Letter to Republican.

Weekly Letter to Republican.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
Something has at last been accomp-
lished, or is very near accomplish
ment, for Alaska. The stepdaughter
of the United States has gone with
out recognition for long time-for
SO long time that the country was
beginning to wonder why the govern
ment ever purchased the rich ter
ritory.
Now, however, the senate has
passed the bill directing the presi-
dent to purchase or construct 1000
miles of railroad in Alaska at cost
not to exceed $4O,O00,0O0. The bill
provides for a redemption fund into
which shall be paid rs per cent Of
all moneys derived from the sale OF
public lands in Alaska or OF the coaI
or mineral contents thereof.
One swallow does not make a
summer, nor will one railroad make
Alaska. In fact, the action OF the
senate in passing the bill, while
celebrated with torchlight process.
sions in Seattle and in Alaska, is
merely the first definite step toward
the long-desired end. The house
must yet pass the bill, and it il
devoutly hoped that the lower branch
will take action as speedily as pos
sible. A single railroad running
from tflewater to the interior of
Alaska will not turn the treasures or
that territory into the lap Of the
United Staes without further effort.
There will not be much business for
the railroad unless definite policy
Of encouragement is adopted in
Alaska all along the line.
We have tried in Alaska a policy
entirely different from the one un-
der which the great northwest was
built up, and it has not been success
full. The policy of exclusion ana
encouragement has never worked in
any deserted territory. The man
who invests his money in Alaska
will have to wait long time before
he can expect any returns. He is
entitled therefore to bigger profits
than he should get from a safer and
quicker investment
The passage of the Alakan bill is
the first step in the development Of
Alaska.

the railway through the Targhee
forest to the park, this being the
most feasible and practical route.
The main obstacle to those travel
ing to the greatest wonder in
America today, is the poorly con-
structed roads through this forest
reserve.
The State of Idaho has appro-
priated $4,000 to pay the expense
of surveying and locating the high
way and the different counties have
at considerable expense built fairly
we'll constructed roads through their
respective territories and are willing
to complete the highway in connec-
tion with the state if the government
will appropriate sufficient sum to
properly build good wagon road
through their foresst reserve. The
fact that the government exercises
I'll control of and collects all the
revenue produced in the reserve,
there is no reason why this money
cannot be used in the building Of
this road through the reserve for the
use and benefit of the people of the
United States who desire to visit
Yellowstone national park.
The Upper Snake River Valley
Good Roads Association, having a
large cash contributing membership,
as well as the county commissioners
of the various counties have pledged

our leading dsirymen have silos and
feed epsilager nights and mornings and
a, feeding OF hay at noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres
ent prices. The best wheat feeds, glu
ten and cottonseed meal, are the prin.
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding beet
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking IL COWS told me
a few days ago that since he COM
menced feeding this with the same
amount Of grain, his cows had gained
a little over a 40-quart can of milk Der
day, says writer in an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton in car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to feed per COW twice day.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8
Representative Addison Smith has
secured through the Department of
Agriculture for distribution a large
supply of alfalfa seed, field peas and
millet, peculiarly adapted to dry
farming and which will be distri-
buted to those who desire to expert
ment in dry land farming.
Each package contains sufficient
seed to plant one acre and will be
accompanied by printed slips giving
cultural directions.
The department experts have been

crops of alfalfa, millet and peas can
be raised on arid lands in Idaho

Varied Rations for Cows.

Cows should not be kept too long
on one particular ration, good though
1t may be, and the feed should consist
of a variety Of materials rather than
any single one. A sufficient ratioA.
must be given for the maintenance of
body and the production of milk. 1t is
false economy to allow q COW to pro-
duce milk at the expense Of her own
body.

healthy. In many herds in Scotland
are COWS 40 years. old. and still good
producers. but, the herds which are
fed heavily on grain, they do not last
as long. and the oldest COW Ia not
more than twelve years old. For
the American dairyman, the striking
features of Scotch dairying are the
uniformly good cows kept, the excel
lent care given them, and the atten-
ton paid to feeding them economic
ally on small amount Of grain, new
er wasting concentrates on cows that
are not producing heavily. When we
consider the low efficiency of the av-
erage COWS MIXED in America COM
pared with the average Ayrshires
MIXED in Scotland, 1t is easy to see
the great possibilities yet unattaine@
by the dairymen of this country.

Although Matt Brock still rules ia
 orite in the bout at the Auditorium
 heater Monday night, when he meets
 hip Murphy of Indianapolis, yet
 here are many here who will take he long end Of the chance, and string long with the Hoosier hoy.
 Tn the former bout there were very ew who took a chance with Frankie Wade because the latter was hardly lp to the class of the Cleyelander, who is entitled to backing against any man in the country at his weight. But in this second engagement with Murphy, Brock is meeting as tough a yomgster as there is aspiring for the featherweight title. and ii not in frequently happens that the long shot wins in the roped arena
 Murphy continues his training wOrA at the Maurice gym, where there are daily gathered a number of admirers to get a line on the Indianapolis kid. Brock, taking into consideration the chance he takes meeting Murphy has not gone 10 the battle without preparation, however, and is getting himself in the best possible condition SO that he will not lose the future that he puts at stake when he meets the Hoosier.

 Eddie Hearne Of Chicago was the next driver to follow Disbrows plan to come to the springs, and he will probably be the first man on the scene. He will bring his big racer here a week in advance to test it out properly before the race.
 The wide interest being taken in the Hot Springs meet all over the country has assured the promoters an agreeable surprise With good weather now there will be nothing to interfere with the speed program
 The Oaklawn course, which is one of the best in the world, will be properly prepared for the meet by Manager Shrader, who is great
 aciag enthusiast himself. He un- derstands what is needed to make a good course and he is just as anx- ious to have a couple of new worlds records on the Oaklawn track as Hot Springs boosters are to have the name of the city carried in the nun dreds of sporting annuals.
 And if the St. Patricks day race meet proves as big a success as the other big dirt track meets of the country it will immediately take it's place as a big annual event.

 The weather yesterday was glorious. ly perfect Old Sol reigning in all his glory and the thermometer stand ing around the 60 degree notch tAroughout midday, Consequently, the maiden days workout of ye Bos. ton Red SoX was eminently satisfac- tory to Manager Carrigan. The play. CTS, too, seemed to enjoy cutting up capers
 The one drawback to the days suc- cess, from the standpoint of the ath- letes, was Carrigan's failure to take any cognizance of the lunch question The work at Majestic Park ran from II o'clock until about f;15. Then, the faithful band Of fourteen logged into the Buckstaff bath house, which is a hike of something like two miles.
 Rather the bath house was the des. tnation, but when the squad ap- praoched the West mountain which lies to the rear of ye celebrated bath house row, Carrigan prescribed run around it's cluster of lower paths and this consumed some fifteen addl- tional minutes Then, followed the rub and scrub in the tub and the official confab No. i in the gym which is again the exclusive property of the Red Sox.

 FOR THE RACES
MAD LOU" HEINEMAN, FORMER MEMBER OF HARMON TEAM,
 ENTERS FOR BIC RACE.
To Be Held at OakaWn on St. Pat rick's Day-DisbroW Hearne and Horey Entered.

Mad Lou Heineman. former mem Der of the Marmol racing team, anu racing partner of Barney OldHeld in
 1912, sent in an entry for the ope- ing worlds championship dirt track meet for the season of 1914, which is to take place on the Oaklawn course in Hot Springs on St. Pat rick's day
 Heineman has a long chain of vic. tories to his credit, and has been prominent in the racing sport since 1909. when he joined Ray Harrom at the Marmon factory at I1dianap- oils and helped design the famous Wasp, V which won the first great Indianapolis sweepstakes race
 At Savannah. Ga, in the fall of 1911, Heinemaa finished second in the Savannah light car contest. He drove a great race and would have continued a member of the Marmor force had not that factory decided to abandon the racing game
 Heineman is now a member of the great Case team which will be on, of the principal contenders in ta. hotel sweepstakes on St Patrick day. the feature of the automobil, meet which will usher in the seasol of 1914 in the east.
 It was Heineman's brain that made the success of the Christy front driv, ear which Barney Oldfeld is nov pilotilg possible. and the veteran driver is enc of Heineman's best boosters in the racing world
 While great many visitors to Hot Springs will recall Heinoman's daring on the circular dirt tracks of the country, he is a stranger to the Ar kansas auto fans He comes here however, equipped as few drivers in the world have been equipped to win dirt track laurels During the past winter Heinemal designed and built the greatest freak speed creation auto the world has ever seen It weighs but 2000 pounds and develops loo horse power It measures four teen inches in width in it's widest part and resembles in many respects the famous Marmon Wasp. which Heinoman suggested to Ray Harrouu. It Is of the regular standard tread and is equipped with a triple waived engine, desieend for great speed.
