SUNSHINE IN CATTLE STABLE
Animal in Sunlight Takes on Flesh More Readily-Southern Expos
 ure Is Favored.

A farmer, whose cattle have always been kept in a stable on the north side of the barn, well lighted and venti- lated, had occasion to enlarge his stable, building the extension with 8 southern exposure, into which the di- rect rays of the sun were permitted to enter with no obstruction.
 He discovered by accident, what he subsequently demonstrated by repeat ed experience, that the same creature in the sunlight took on flesh more readily. ate less and produced more than when kept in the stable where the direct sunlight never entered.
 More than this. he proved conclu- slvely that creatures suffering with va rious diseases, or reduced physical condition from divers causes, recov- cred more readily when afforded the energizing influences of the sunshine.

RESIGNS;
 CRISIS IN CABINET
UNlONlST LEADER MAY NOT Ac. CEPT OFFER OF kING-LLOYD-
 GEORGE MENTIONED.
AsQUITH REASONS YELLED
Surmised to Be Insistence Of Lloyd George Faction That He ReIinquish Direction of Affairs Into Hands of
 Small Cabinet Directorate.

London.-Herbert H. Asquith re- signed the British premiership, which he had held during eight stormy years of domestic and foreign history, and the government crisis found a solu- tion which had been considered the least probable of practical alterna- tives. The Unionist leader, Andrew Bonar Law. was summoned to the palace immediately after MT. Asquith had departed, and the king offered him the prime minister's commission which he had just accepted from Mir Asquith's hands.
 No announcement regarding Mir Bo- nar Laws decision has yet been made and there are some doubts whether he will accept the heavy resonpsbil- ity. If he declines. it is considered certain the honor will fall to David Lloyd-George. The continuation of the coalition cabinet, with some changes. and the speeding up of the war man. agement will be the policy in either event.
 The premier's decision to resign and advise the king to summon An. drew Bonar Law to form cabinet was taken after a day of extraordinary political excitement There were constant comings and goings of the political leaders between Downing Street and the government depart ments. MT. Asquith consulted with several Unionist leaders, including Earl Curzon. Lord Robert Cecil and the earl of Derby
 Noticeable ebsentees from this con- ference were A. J. Balfour, who Is ill Andrew Bonar Law. J. Austen Cham. berlain and Walter Hume Long.
 In the afternon the premier met his supporters, including Viscount Grey. Lewis Harcourt Edwin s. Montagu the marquis of Crewe. Reginald Me kenna, Walter Runciman, Lord Buck master, II Samuel. Lord Reading and Arthur Henderson. It is supposed Mir. AsQuith explained that he was faced by almost insuperable obstacles to the reconciliation of the conflicting interests and intended to resign. Al most immediately the premier drove to the palace and had an audience with the king.
 The precise reason which determin- ed Mir. Asquith to give up the power Is not yet known. but it Is surmised to DC the insistence of the Lloyd George faction that he relinquish the rural direction of affairs into the hands of small cabinet directorate.

The bluejacket had been in the bat tie or Jutland. and in the railway com partment every one addressed him re- spectfully. Incidentally he was the recipient of numerous fine cigars. He conducted himself with becoming dig nifty, and when the foreign-looking gen tleman who had kept silent went out at a roadside station the audience set tied down to hear the yarn. Nodding his head toward the dark stranger on the platform, the bluejacket remarked with grin. "'E thinks e as lost some think ed like to hear, e 'as.

HAPPENING OF BEEF CATTLE
Value of SIage Strongly Emphasized by Indiana Station-Ration for
 Substantial Gains.

The value of the silo in fattening cattle was strongly emphasized by the Indiana station. In this experiment substantial gains were made on the following ration:
 2.5 pounds cottonseed meal.
 A pounds clover hay.
 IA pounds shelled corn.
 PIT pounds corn silage.
 When silage was fed the cost Of gain was onehaf cent pound less than with dry feed and the increase in profits amounted to from S3 to $S

per steer. The cottonseed meal gave much better results than oil meal and tended to produce tirmer flesh with silage.
 Where there is not an abundance of grazing when cattle are fed the silo will be almost indispensable to econ- omy in feeding. The amount saved in feeding silage will soon pay for the silo. It helps utilize the coarse feeds, and 1t takes the place of green pasture when this is not available.

 Porto Rico's Needs.
 The argument for the proposed
 amendments of the organic law of Por- to Rico is brief and conclusive. The
 present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of its people are not just. We have ere ated expectations of extended privi- | lege which we have not satisfied. l There is uneasiness among the people | of the island and even a suspicious 1 doubt with regard to our intentions concerning them which the adoption of | the pending measure would happily re move.

night Of pleasure to all who at
tended the merry dance at the
ranch home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.

arrived from far and near. From
Benson, Pantano and Mescal they
came, and from many ranch homes
from all around and in between,
some in their gasoline roadsters,
some the good old blackboard
still and the rest rode the faithful
horseback way.
The success of the evening be-
gan with the first waltz, when all
joined in, with tingling music and
the sound of many merry feet
went on till broad daylight.
Not just a light luncheon was
served. some time IN the wee small
hours. but a loaded table of roast
beef, pickles, sandwiches, coffee
and cake galore, stood groan'ng
with it's weight OF good leafs" to
tempt and satisfy each hungry
one.
When at last leave-taking time
came, the one big echo was all one
could hear-"What good time we
all have had"
Mr.. and Mrs. Price proved a
host and hostess without compare.
The occasion was a feast to all and
a Joy forever.
