FEEDING ROOTS TO CATTLE
Enaiish stoekmen Feed Enormous
Quantities Of Turnips and eests-
Best Methods Of Feeding.

Turnips and beets are grown ant
fed in enormous quantities by Englist
stockmen and farmers. They do not
have silage because Of climatic condi
tions unfavorable to corn. Amerie
farmers who use roots to come exten'
can wisely profit by English experience
in feeding them.
An authority advises that they
should always be cut or pulped. and
never fed whole to cattle. When fec
whole there Is greater danger Of chok
ing, especially with the last piece. anc
also greater loss or waste by tram
pling under foot.
The best method of feeding is to Gu,
or pulp the roots and mix them with
cut hay, straw or chat. allowing the
pile to heat for q few hours before
feeding. This has the merit OF warm
ing up the roots, which are generally
a cold feed. and of making low-grade
roughage more palatable. Cattle fec
in this manner through he winter
come out in much better condition
than II given the same amount Of feed
uncut and not mixed.

Early this afternoon throngs appear

the fact that many of the promenaders

SAN FRANCISCO, April A sprig
of shamrock, a bit faded and crum-
pied as the result of it's long journey
from Kerry, was the means of uniting
Mrs. Margaret Murphy and her .hus-
band, John, in Superior Judge Floods
court after they had decided to part
forever.
Margaret claimed John was cruel, and
would sooner 60 to soccer games than
eat her Sunday dinners. She left him
and filed a divorce complaint. The day
after she quit her home a letter came
from her mother in Kerry. John took 1t
to her when he was summoned to court.
She would not receive 1t from his hands,
and he had to give 1t to her attorney,
Joseph Taaffc, who passed 1t over to
her.
Mrs. Murphy opened 1t and out fell
the sprig of shamrock. The letter ex-
pressed tho hope that she was getting
along well with her husband, and was
full Of well wishes for them both.
Margaret picked UP the bit G. verdure
and looked at John. He had b en- watch

she tore the sprig In two, and, going
in his hat.
