To the judges and clerks and all other persons who helped to hold the general election of 1916:
 We the election commissioners desire to thank each of you for the careful and diligent manner in which you have performed your duty as such officers. The remuneration in dollars and cents is inadequate for the services rendered, but the satisfaction that you have performed your duty we'll together with the re- suits of same should be sufficient recompense.

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Havc Two Views as to
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.

Most of the textbooks suggest that
temporary stars, or "novae," may re-
suit either from the collision of two
bodies in space or from sudden ex-
plosion or eruption of single body.
Professor Hale, in his recent review
Of the last ten years work at Mount
Wilson, states that more plausible
hypothesis is that of faint star sud-
denly plunging into gaseous nebula.
The spectra of novae. after passing
through remarkable changes, have usu-
ally been supposed to correspond
closely in their last visible stage with
the spectra of nebulae. Observations
at Mount Wilson, however, are in har-
mony with an observation OF Hart
mann in showing that there is, at least
In some cases, a still later stage. in
which the characteristic lines Of the
nebular spectrum disappear. as il the
star had finally passed out of the ne
bula which caused its sudden outburst
of luminosity. On this hypothesis, the
temporary brightness of these stars
would be analogous to that of a me-
.eorite passing through the earth's at
nosphere and raised to incandescence

manure a ton per acre may be used
to advantage. Apply 1t broadcast.

four or more per cent of nitrogen,
and about eight each of ohosphoric

obtainable.

Grow more alfalfa" is the sugges-
ton of Ralph Kenney, assistant pro-
fessor of agronomy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college, to farmers
of the state
Alfalfa production in Kansas has in
creased in the last 25 years approx
imately 1900 per cent, but should in
crease still more. 1t has a wide dis
tribution in Kansas, being grown all
the way from the western section of
the state, with rainfall of Is inches,
to southeast Kansas, where the aver
age rainfall is 30 inches. 1t is the
most profitable of all hay crops under
irrigation, and because of this ex-
treme range of adaptability there is
little doubt that 1t will be ranked as
one of the most important forage
crops in practically all states within
the next so years.
It's acreage is now greatest west of
the Missouri river, but it is found in
nearly all counties of states farther

RUSSIAN THISTLES
RELISHED BY COWS
Animals GreediIy Devour Young
Plants Along With Other
Weeds and Grasses.

(By H. S. EAKINS, Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins, Colo)
In certain parts of the West when
dairy cows are placed on grass range
In the spring, they greedily devour
the young, tender, Russian thistle
plants along with other weeds and
grasses, without any apparent injury
resulting.
However 1t has been noticed that
after thistle barbs have formed, and
while the plant is yet green, that
some cattle persist in ingesting, under
conditions of short range, quantities
of these thistles; sometimes with se-
rfous results which may end fatally
The barbs penetrate into the mucous
membranes, especially of the first
stomach setting up a severe hemor-
rhagic Inflammation. The animal
goes off feed" the flow of milk de-
creases, bloating generally occurs and

SKIMMILK USED TO
MOISTEN FEED MASH
Two Interesting Tests Conducted
by the West Virginia Ex-g
pertinent Station.

Two tests are reported from the
West Virginia station of the value of
skimmilk compared with water for
wetting feed mash. In the first test,
which covered 122 days, % hens fed
skimmilk laid 1,244 eggs as compared
with 996 egs laid by the % hens fed
mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second
test, 60 hens fed the skimmilk ration
laid 1862 eggs in 81 days, as compared
with 632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed
no skimmilk. In the second period.
which covered Sc days, the rations
were reversed. The chickens fed
skimmilk laid 1920 eggs, as compared
with 97S In the case of the lot fed no
skimmilk. In every case the pens con-
tanned one cock to ten hens. In both
experiments more eggs were produced
when skimmilk was substituted for
water for moistening the mash.
Under the conditions prevailing In
these experiments, and with eggs SELL
ing for 20 or 25 cents per dozen, the
skimmilk used for moistening the
mash had feeding value of from III
to cents per quart. In these trails
802 quarts of skimmilk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase in the egg pro-
duction of 702 eggs, or almost an ex-
ira egg for each quart used.

METHOD OF FEEDING
THE YOUNG TURKEYS
Bread Crumbs, Rolled Oats, or
Sour Milk Should Be Espe-
ciaIIy Suited to PouItS.

Replying to letter asking for In.
formation regarding the feeding OF
young turkeys, DR.. R. H. Williams
animal husbandman of the University
of Arizona agricultural experiment
station, says: Bread crumbs, rolled
oats, bran, sour milk or cottage cheese
should be especially suited to the
poults. / am afraid that the cause of
their dying is due to getting out into
the damp alfalfa early in the morning
1t is wise to keep them out of this un-
til the alfalfa becomes quite dry.
do not think that the bran would cause
this trouble. No doubt the regular
chick foods prepared by the various
manufacturing companies would be
suitable but / believe that you could
prepare home mixtures of equal value
with less cost

cred in the successful management of
sanitary place, avoid overcrowding
and give them q variety of feed, In
Guiding green substances. After the
poults become six weeks old they are
usually hardy and less care is neces-
sary. The first feed should consist
of hard boiled unfertile eggs chopped
fine and mixed with equal parts of
rolled oats and fed three times day.
Do not feed more than they will clean
up in 20 minutes. At the end of the
first week 20 poults should eat about
three eggs and an equal amount of
oats per meal. After the poults are
four days old, cracked corn, hulled
oats. wheat, kafir corn and other
grains may be scattered in short grass
Or in light litter on the floor of the
pen. This will encourage them to
take more exercise and learn the habit |
