bran and oats may be dropped from the ration and the more concentrated feeds such as corn, cotton seed or linseed meal increased according to appetite, and fed in connection with good roughage during the winter.
 This method of treatment will re- suit in an increase of approximately two pounds per head daily for six months. When high grade calves arc given a full feed during this period on such rations they will sell from 25 cents to 50 cents per hundred below the prices paid for cattle of equal quality and type on the central mar kets and will require from three to four months of full feeding to make them prime.
 The following report of the experi- ments shows decided advantage in favor of dry-lot feeding.
 The cattle used were high-grade Hereford steers. The dry lots were not we'll adapted to summer feeding, for the sheds were low and therefore hot and the flies could not be kept out of them. The pasture consisted or nine acres of mixed timothy and clover. which furnished more grass than the cattle could consume from the middle of May to the middle of August.
 In each of the tests the dry-lot cattle made the greatest gain during the first month, but there was a de- cided decline during the next two months owing to their becoming fat. ter and the condition of the weather.
 The cattle in the pasture made the smallest gain during the first month due, of course, to the change from dry lot to pasture and the decrease in the amount of grain they would eat.
 The steers in the dry lot made a gain of s94 pounds in excess of those on pasture during the first month of summer feeding. but the second month the difference was only 90 pounds and the third month those on pasture gained 63 pounds over those in the dry lot.
 This shows that in the superiority of the dry-lot method the feeding was due entirely to the behavior of the steers the first month, after which the pasture was superior.
 The results of three months feeding show difference of TAI pounds gain in favor of the dry-lot cattle during the three years. which was sufficient to overcome all the other advantages of pasture feeding when considered in connection with the added bloom" ana higher market price of the dry lot at the time of marketing.
 Our conclusions were that if 1t were possible to turn them out early in the season before the grass starts and continue the feed used in the dry lot so that the steers would be accustomed to the grass gradually. then there would be an advantage of dry-lot feeding in the summer, except for that which Is due to the premium trade for dry-fed cattle on the central markets, caused by the general belief that carcasses from such cattle are superior to those from grass-fed ami mals.

tin in the feet and they add very ma terially to the stock pot. There should never be bone, raw or cooked, thrown away until it has passed through the stock pot The trimmings from meat and many vegetables are also an addition to the soup stock flavor. The tough end of steak, if cut in small bits and cooked with vege tables. will make most tasty stew. or cooked with macaroni and' gravy makes a most hearty supper dish for a chilly. cold night. A speaker promi- nent in household economies is quoted as saying that no economical woman needs a garbage pail" The garbage pail is too often the little leak that sinks the great ship of household ef- ficiency.
 What would one say to the woman who removes the marrow from the bones of steaks and stews and puts it into the garbage? Yet this is a com. mon occurrence in many homes. Bits of fat that are not liked when cooked or are left after serving may be ren- oCASt anu thth uoCu ioi shortening. Fats from ducks, chick. ems and geese are by many considered much better than butter for fine cook. ing.
 The small bit of fat which seemed too small to save might have been used to brown the vegetable for the stew or chowder. Egg shells are use full to settle coffee and clear soup. Wash eggs as they come from the mar. ket and the shells will then be ready to use. A half cupful of potato or cabbage may be used to flavor a cream soup.
 If cupful of cold rice is left, add it to two or three beaten eggs and have a good. hot supper dish. Cold eggs, either soft or hard cooked, may be used for garnishing. The soft eggs should be further cooked until hard. Chopped egg added to a white sauce and poured over toast will make the children a good supper dish.

 Hungarian Goulash.-Cut a quarter of pound of salt pork into dice and cook in a hot frying pan until crisp and brown. Cut two pounds of round steak into small pieces, roll in flour and brown slightly in the pork fat Add two cupfuls of tomatoes, two minced onions, one bay leaf, three cloves, six peppercorns. and half cupful of diced celery. Add seasonings and cook all together until boiling hot Set in the cooker to cook for two or three hours. Serve with potatoes or potato pancakes.
 Fowl in Cooker.-Dress and truss the fowl as for roasting. Place it in a large vessel of the cooker, add boil ing water to cover, an onion stuck with three cloves, two tablespoonfuls of rice, and little coarsely chopped celery. Bring very slowly to the boiling point. Cook until boiling hot. place in the cooker and let stand two or three hours. Remove and reheat, sometimes all day to have tender chicken.
 Corned Beef-Place the piece of meat in cold water to cover, bring to the boiling point, and if the water seems very salty discard it and add fresh boiling water. Put boiling hot into the cooker and let cook over night If one desires vegetables with the meat they may be added while relocating the meat, then cook for another three hours. If the cooker is opened during the cooking it must be brought to the boiling point again, as the steam escapes, losing much heat. Cabbage. turnips, carrots and all vegetables which are cooked with the meat should be boiling hot before being put into the cooker. It must be remembered that a much longer time is needed to cook all foods in the cooker.

WHEAT DECLINES

Corn Also Lower, but Oats

Price Changes.

Chicago, March 25.-What was
termed "peace feeling" had much effect
to-day in lowering the value of wheat.
The market, which leaned heavily to
the bear side, was weak at the close

from 7s01c. decline to &c advance.
In provisions. the outcome ranged from
2l9c. decline to a rise Of 5Q712c.
Most of the traders in wheat ap-
peared to be governed by indefinite
rumors that an early end Of the war
might now be assumed as a fact Al
though no more precise basis for the
reports could be found than the pros
pect of additional European countries
becoming involved, and the outlook for
an important fresh advance by the Rus
sian army, selling here began with q
rush, and at no time had to encOun-
ter any determined buying support.
Sharp watch was kept of the develop

COTTON MAKES
SHARP ADVANCE
Trading Active and Setbacks OF
Little Importance-Spots
Also Gain.

The cotton market showed increased
strength and activity yesterday. with
all the active months making new high
records for the season on a broadening
demand. Realizing sales were readily
absorbed, and the close was firm at a
net advance of % to 26 points.
The market opened steady at an sd-
vance Of 2 to points on overnight
buying orders attracted by the strength
of Wednesday. Realizing was heavy
enough TO check the advance for a mo-
ment, but the steady showing of Liver
pool encouraged bullish sentiment, but
fresh buying orders reached the ring
in great volume. After showing net
advance of about 20 points there was
small setback, but the demand again
expanded and the market reached the
high point in the late trading. May
contracts sold at 964c. and October at
l0.23c., the general list showing net
gains of from 26 10 20 points, with
early net crop deliveries selling about
$500 a bale above the low level reached
on the break Of March l. Closing
prices were within or points Of the
best.
Exports for the day, 1858 bales;
port receipts, 42.790 bales. Southern
spot markets were unchanged to 20
points higher and the local market,
while quiet, advanced 25 points TO

HEARST MANAGER
RATES A. P. HIGH
Carvalho Declares It Is
Almost Essential to
Morning Papers.

Solomon S. Carvalho, general man
sger Of the Hearst newspapers, on the
stand IN the Supreme Court yesterday
told of the value Of an Associated
Press franchise to morning news
papers. His testimony was given in
the proceeding by William r. Hearst to
restrain The Associated Press from
disciplining him for circulating in Oak
land, Cal, an edition of "The San Fran
cisco Examiner" with the heading
Oakland Edition" "The Oakland Trib-
une," also a member Of the news or
ganization, protested that this was in
violation of its rights.
Melville f. Stone, general manager
of The Associated Press, also a witness,
when asked by Samuel Untermyer,
counsel for Hearst, whether "The San
Francisco Examiner" did not have q
wide reputation, replied that it had "a
certain reputation" The answer was
stricken out by order Of Justice Ben
ton.
Mr.. Carvalho, thirty-seven years in
the newspaper business, Of which he
has spent eighteen In TIE Hearst
service, declared that II a newspaper
property were sold it would not bring
half as much without an Associated
Press franchise as with one. Under
examination by Frederick B. Jennings
counsel for The Associated Press, Mr.
Carvalho explained how "The Evening
Journal" without a franchise, earned
larger profits than THE American,
with its franchise. He said the after
noon publications were not the COM
plete newspapers that the morning edi-
tions were, but merely bulletins. They
exchanged news, he declared, without
much effort to protect copyright.
"The Chicago Examiner" morning
Hearst publication without franchise,
is successful, said Carvalho, but would
succeed better with a franchise, which
it wants to get.
Reference to "The New York Suns"
Press brought an objection from Inter
myer, who said: "We don't know how
much it cost The Sum to get the
news or how successful it Is. It is
undoubtedly great hardship to The
Sun to depend on its own service"
Mr.. Stone said he considered the
Oakland edition" a deception on the
people of Oakland. He replied to ques-
tions that he did not know "The Exam
iner" was the "leading paper west OF
the Rocky Mountains" and that he did
not know it had good reputation, hav-
ing heard it freely criticised The wit
ness said he knew it to be paper OF
large influence. He said he had con-
cluded that "The Examiner" was try
ing to usurp the business Of another
Associated Press member.
The lawyers will sum up and submit
briefs tomorrow.
