rect legislation. They will see that
the administration important meas
ures are not sidetracked and juggled
on the calendar and that the measures
provided in the 1914 platform are
given consideration on the floor. With
the Republicans organized and ready
to face any emergency, house Demo-
Gratis will this week hold their first
real caucus of the session. In the
senate the Democrats have held nu-
merOus caucuses. Now their example
is to be followed by the house minor
ity.
The result of caucus organization
will show its effect this week when
the legislature gets it's first whack at
the state administrations economy
program. Governor Capper's recon-
mendations to the effect that there are
too many commissions and boards and
useless employees was applauded by
the Republicans. So the Capper adj
mirers Immediately made plans to
legislate into effect the new governors
ideas. Their proposed legislation,
however, has been in the nature of
bills providing for the legal removal
of few Democratic appointees. All
of which should insure a genuine bat
tie when the bills come up for con-
sideration on the floor of the house
and senate. And so the Democrats are
making plans for the future. They
object not at all to Governor Capper's
program for economy. They merely
want it tried on Republican ap-
pointees.

sELF-FEEDER FOR FATTENING
Method Is Practical Under Some Cir
cumstanees and Will Give Good
Results in Saving Labor.

The self-feeder method OF fattening
hogs is practical under some circum-
stances, and will give first-class re-
suits at a saving of labor. Many in
quiries come to the Iowa State col
lege on this question, and consider
able investigation has been collected
concerning IT, In one experiment in
which handled and settled hogs were
compared as to the rate of gain, those
which ate from self-feeders. getting
corn in one and meat meal In the
other, made the largest and cheap
est gains, reaching the weight of 250
pounds the quickest, and paid the big
gest profit on bushel of corn. They
weighed $50 pounds at eight months
old, and were sent to market rs days
before any of those from other fields
had reached the same weight.
One thing which this experiment in
dicated was that hogs which are grow
ing and fattening on alfalfa pasture
and receiving a full feed of corn,
need a protein supplement in the ra-
ton. 1t also showed that self-feeding
OF corn and meat meal separately is
practical and economical with hogs
that are running on alfalfa.

MARKING THE EARLY LAYERS
Band Placed on Leg OF PuIlet 5esir-

Selection Of Breeders.

The pullets that begin laying frs .
are as rule the best layers; It is
from these pullets and hens that we
should hatch our breeding birds. Col
ored leg bands are useful for marking
birds with special points; a red band
on the leg of each pullet that begins
to lay in October will make the selec-
ton of breeders next spring easier.
The Missouri state poultry experiment

from good layers which began 10 lay
