Some Early History.
September 10, 1889, the Santa Fe
company withdrew its appropriation,
but gave the use of the building. De-
cember %, 1889, Mr.. Roberts left and
was followed by J. NJ. Davidson. Then
came Matthew Francis. From 1890 to
1892 Charles Miller and Ernest Mills
filled the position of general secre-
tary, and in 1892 George Ierr1go, a
young man from the general office
building was called. During his term
of office a number of improvements
were made and the work put on
good foundation. Mr.. Lerrlgo was
called to the general secretarysh1p OF
the Central Department of Topeka in
1895. c. NJ. Jones was the next secre-
tary, staying but one year. G. NJ Cot
trell followed and stayed for year
and a half, making special effort on
the financial and membership work
He left to take the passionate OF
church in Louisiana.
2 John Caldwell, an old worker in the
Y. NJ. c. A, was next called and dur
ing his administration the building
was remodeled and made much more
comfortable and more fitted to meet
the demands of an up-to-date inStitu-
ton of it's kind. 1t was at this time
the membership fee was raised to SIS
per year.
Secretary Caldwell left August Is,
1900, to take up the work in Texar-
kama, Texas, and Thomas E. Prout,
the present general secretary, was
called to fill the vacancy.
There were 365 full paid regular
and sustaining members in 1900.
n Blessing in Disguise.
April IS, 1902, at 6 80 Saturday eve
ming when the building was crowded
with men taking baths fire broke out.
After the smoke had cleared away
there was about a foot of water on
the ground floor and daybreak had
arrived. Who knows but that the
fire came as a blessing in disguise,
for out of the ashes of the old came
the agitation for a new building. At
the time of the fire there were s21
members. The association did not
close its doors but went right on with
the work and the membership con-
tinued to grow President Ripley of
the Santa Fe agreed that if we
would raise $4,000 he would give us
$4,000 toward the erection of a new
building, and we Immediately went to
work. One firm in Topeka gave $3.50,

Then Mrs. Bowser began to laugh.

More Hay in Ration
Lowers Cost Of MILK

LEGE, CORVALLIS. Jan. Hay is
usually the most economical feed
that can be given to dairy cows and
If it is supplied in palatable form
so that COWS cat it more literally,
the production cost of the milk is
generally lowered.
Most dairymen use too little hay
and hay Of too poor quality" say the
dairy experts of the Agricultural
college. "The reason that more Is
not used is generally because hay Is
poorly cured so that II Is dry and
woody, or partly spoiled so that 1t
has a bad favor, and cows do not eat
enough of 1t to balance the rations
properly.
When hay Is unpalatable COWS
will not eat more than ten pounds
each per day and this shortage must
be made up by more Of the expensive
grains. On the other. hand, good
palatable hay is eaten to the amount
OF about twenty pounds per day.

The British government is now hold
ing nearly $4,000 horses and mules
at Lathrop, Missouri. and Port Chal-
mete. La, and other points pending
the completion of shipping arrange
ments across the Atlantic.
The food bill for the animals held
at Lathrop alone is more than $1,000
daily.
In times Of peace the shipment Of
mules and horses ON the seas is an
Insignificant business, and few of the
steamers are equipped to handle this
traffic. AS result, it is necessary
to rebuild steamers to equip them to
carry mules across the ocean.
