BULLETIN ON STEER FEEDING
Texas Experiment Station Finds Cot
ton Seed Meal and SiIage Ration
Most Profitable.

The following Is the summary Of
Bulletin No. 1859, OF the Texas expert
ment station, on steer feeding, by
Prof. John c. Burns:
l. Though all were fed profitably,
the ration of cottonseed meal and
silage was considerably more profit
able than either the ration of cotton
seed meal and hulls or the one Of
cottonseed meal, hulls and silage.
z One and two-thirds tons of sill
age was found to be equivalent to
one ton of cottonseed bulls in feeding
value.
3. Lot l paid $11.30 per ton for cot
tonseed hulls and lot ii, 1915 per ton
for silage.
4. Cottonseed meal at sgt per ton
was more profitable than cotton seed
at SIT per ton in experimenting sill
age to form fa&tening ration.
B, The shripkage in shipment to
market was much greater in Lots I
and III, that were fed cottonseed
hulls, especially in lie I, than in Lots
II and w, that were fed only silage
as roughage.
6. Though the dressing percent
ages Of Lots l, II, III and ", did not
differ much, the highest yield was
in Lot l, fed meal and silage, and
hulls.
7. One hundred pounds of sorghum
hay was equivalent to los pounds of
cottonseed hulls in feeding value.
8. Though yielding slightly larger
gain, sorghum hay at $12 a ton was
not as economical at cottonseed bulls
at 81 a ton.

The pig that is fed enough food to
keep it growing rapidly from the start
to finish, is usually the most profitable
porker.
In some sections where there is SUI
lcient waste crop to fatten the hogs,
it may be profitable to allow the
shoats to shift for themselves.
However, usually the pigs that are
allowed to shift for themselves. and
get fat on the waste, are easy victims
Of cholera, and swine-plague.
There are quite as many hogs that
die from cholera In certain parts of
the country as ever reach the pork
barrel. Hog-raising as a business
must be treated In a business-hke
way, and If it is conducted without
cost there Is little profit.
If there is fair profit in feeding
hogs. the business should be con-
Quoted in as careful and business-like
way as the feeding of cattle and sheep.

Improve the Cattle.

The best way for the dairyman to
improve his herd is to replace his COM
mon cows with their daughters by
pure-bred sires from advanced registry
dams
The high prices for some of the
best dairy animals need not discour-
age dairymen from improving their
herds by the introduction of good
blood, for the obstacles can be over
come by neighborhood cooperation in
buying new sires.
What would be big price for one
man to pay for a registered sire could
be made very small Investment by
joint purchasing.

Many farmers think that they can
not afford to feed the pigs literally
during the summer season. The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves In
many instances. and of course do not
make much growth, but one may see
a pretty good profit in feeding at the
present high prices of both feed and
pork.
The hogs will Just about live on the
pasture they can gather from the field,
and what grain is given them goes to
growth; and any one who has tried 1t
has found that only moderate ra-
ton fed to the shoats on pasture will
make a good growth throughout the
season.
Early spring pigs of any good breed
can be made to average a pound Of
gain a day by the time they are eight
or ten months old. and large part OF
this can be made on pasture.

CHAPTER XIII.
courtlandt Tells a Story.

The colonel and his guests at lunch
con had listened to Courtlandt without
sound or movement beyond the occa-
sional rasp of feet shifting under the
table. He had begun with the old
familiar phrase-"Ive got story"
Tell it," had been the instant re-
quest.
At the beginning the men had been
leaning at various negligent angles
some with their elbows upon the table,
some with their arms thrown across
the backs of their chairs. The par
fridge had been excellent, the wine de-
licious, the tobacco irreproachable.
Burma, the tinkle of bells in the tenn
pies. the strange pictures in the
bazaars, long Journeys over smooth
and stormy seas; romance, moving
and colorful, which began at Ran
COON, had zig-zagged around the world,
and ended in Berlin.
And so," concluded the teller of the
tale, that is the story. This man was
perfectly innocent of any wrong, a
victim of malice on the one hand and
of injustice on the other"
'Is that the end of the yarn?" asked
the colonel.
who in life knows what the end of
anything is? This is not a story
out of book" Courtlandt accepted a
fresh cigar from the box which Rao
passed to him, and dropped his dead
weed into the ash-bowl.

COSTLY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
PhrenoIoeist Probably All Right In
His Profession, but He Didn't
Know Much About Horses.

A Boston man tells of an innocent
farmer who once sought out phre'
nologist at the Hub and asked that
his bumps" be read.
In revealing to the farmer his tenn
permanent as shown by the aforesaid
bumps, the professor said
Your tastes are the simple, homely
ones of the farmer. You are farmer,
are you not? All! thought So!
And am right as to your tastes, am
not? You are sadly deficient in
judgment, and have little knowledge
Of human nature. Your innocent and
trustful disposition renders you an
easy dupe to designing men, and your
own perfect honesty prevents you
from either suspecting or defrauding
anyone"
The following week, it appears, the
phrenologist bought horse from the
innocent farmer. Although the nag
was old and in bad condition, it had
been made to appear young and ekit-
tish. Moreover, though the farmer
had paid but SIS for the animal, he
oontrived without difficulty to unload
him on the professor for $40
tits wonderful" said the farmer to
friend. as he proceeded to a bank
to deposit his money. ITS wonderful
that a man should know so much
about men and not thing about
horses"

CHAMPION RAT CATCHER DIES
W. A. HeitIer Used Pair Of Tongs to
Nab Half Million Rodents in New
York City.

New York.-William A. Heitler, the
Oldest rat catcher in this city, who
has caught half million rats alive in
the As years he has been in the busi-
ness, is dead. The little store over
which he presided at 392 Broome
street until his death will not be
closed. His wife and daughter will
carry on the business and do every
thing except catch the rats them
selves.
Henry Dayye of Paris, called the
king of rat catchers in 1870, Harry
Jennings, called Dick the Rat, who
came to New York in 1888, and Will
lam A. Heitler, who took up Jennings
work in 1869, have been classed as the
three best known rat catchers since
the public has awakened to the fact
that the rat is a breeder of disease
No one of the three ever let the public
know their secrets OF, rat catching.
Heitler used his bare hands and
pair Of tongs as did Dayve and Jen-
nings, taking the rats one by one, ex-
amining them and placing them alive

in North America have been almost
entirely in the western section and in
Canada, although isolated instances
of poisoning are known H. the East.
In the cattle ranges of the West prob.
ably no poisonous plants. with the ex-
ception OF the loco weeds have
caused such heavy losses to the stock
men.
It is difficult to estimate with any
degree of accuracy the extent Of these
losses. A conservative estimate based
on reports from a large number Of
ranges indicates that the annual loss
is from to per cent. A great many
OF the stockmen who have reported
upon this subject have given an esti-
mate Of 8 per cent. Specific cases are
known where from 20 to 80 cattle
have died out of a single herd within
q few hours, and other instances are
recorded in which individual stock
men have lost as many as 200 head in
@ season. These losses are attributed
to larkspurs, since they have occurred
on ranges where larkspurs are abun-
dant
Small quantities of larkspurs can
be eaten with impunity. Experiment.
al work shows that an animal must
eat about per cent Of its weight
before being affected, and that aver
age cases eat from s to 9 per cent Of
their weight. Horses are not poisoned
unless they eat a considerable quanti-
ty.
The low larkspur is poisonous dur
ing the whole of it's life, but the plant
| disappears the last of June or early
in July. Poisoning from it occurs,
therefore, only in the months Of May
| and June. The tall larkspur grows
through the entire season, and as 1t
natures the leaves lose their poison
our properties, so that after the mid
die of August they cease to be poi
sonous. The seeds are more poison
Gus than the leaves, and occasionally
cattle die rather late in the sea
son from eating them.
The first symptom of larkspur poi
soning is ordinarily the falling of the
animal. In the experimental poison
ing it has been found that this falling
was preceded by lack Of appetite
and general uneasiness, with stiff
and staggering gait. When the ami,
NAL falls it goes down suddenly, the
legs appearing to crumple up under
it. In the lighter cases the animal
will hold its head erect and after a
time will get upon its feet. only to fall
