CATTLE MEN AT MANHATTAN
Large Attendance at Fourth Annual
Meeting at State Agricultural Col
lege Experiment Results.

Announcement of results of calf
feeding, pasture Improvement and
blackleg serum experiments, that are
expected to put the cattle industry
! in Kansas on paying basis, and Incl
dentally place millions of dollars in
! the pockets of Kansas farmers, was
the feature of the fourth annual cat
tlemen's meeting at the Kansas State
! Agricultural college. The meeting
was attended by several hundred of
! the leading live stock men of the
state.
Corn and kafir for beef production
compared In the tests covering
period of six months and conducted
under the direction of w. A. Cochel,
professor of animal husbandry. One
hundred high-grade Hereford calves
were used, being divided into six lots,
each of which was given a different
feed combination.
The greatest profits were made in
corn combinations. Shelled corn,
cottonseed meal, alfalfa hay and sill
age proved most remunerative-the
average profit per steer was $15.26,
and the total gain in weight 1859
pounds. In the lot fed ground corn,
cottonseed meal, and alfalfa hay, a
gain in weight of 441,9 pounds was re-
corded, but the higher feed values re-
duced the profit to s18.25 for each
animal.
The kafir combination that brought
the best results consisted of ground
kafir, cottonseed meal. alfalfa hay
and silage. The gain in weight shown
was .4241 pounds and the profit
$1314.
Announcement was made by DR.. F.
S. Schoenleber, professor of veterin-
ary medicine, that his department has
perfected a practical method of abso-
lutely preventing, stopping and con-
trolling an outbreak Of blackleg
among cattle.
"A hyperimmune serum has been
perfected" said Doctor Schoenleber,
(which will Immediately stop the
progress Of the disease in herd and
which when used in connection with
blackleg virus will immunize the
animal against the disease. This
serum and virus has been used sue
cessfully on more than 10000 calves"

self to the idea of death and suffering
inflicted under her very eyes.
An oath from Upton made Kynas-
ton turn. He saw John Wilkes, the
cid engineer, step to the table and,
picking up the dipper, help himself
to a drink of water.
The dipper was still immersed in
the water when there came another
flat, smacking report, followed by a
crash as of stone on board. The
bucket broke into fragments and fell
from the table, the water dripping
down upon the floor.

slow advance of their besiegers. The
Mexicans did not dare advance across
the open under the fire of the rifles
from the house. They were obviously
waiting for night to cover their real
approach. Kynaston dreaded what
the night would bring, for there was
no way to prevent the Mexicans from
getting to close range under cover Of
the darkness. Then, when the be-
siegers were within striking distance,
it would be difficult indeed for the de-
tenders to reply to the overwhelming
intensity of the fire that would be
opened upon the house 80 soon as day
light should come.
While Kynaston was cudgeling his
brains to find some solution to the
problem he saw old Wilkes pottering
about the house, carefully gathering
up all the empty tin cans. These the

HAVE PROMISE OF MORE GAS
Contracts Already Made Will Increase
Supply by 100000 Cubic Feet
Official Says.

The receiver for the Kansas Natural
Gas Company is making a real effort
to obtain more gas, according to Rob-
ert Stone, one of the attorneys for the
receiver.
I'VE have just closed contract
with the Braden interests in Okla
homa for 30 million cubic feet of gas a
day next year." Stone said, I'VE have
been getting IL million cubic feet
day from this company, and this will
be an increase of 18 million. We have
started negotiations with several 9TH
er large holders of gas properties and
expect to get a contract with some Of
these in short time that will increase
the supply 40 to so million cubic feet
a day.
"The first move to be made will be
to get the gas contracts. Then pipe
lines will be laid as rapidly as we can
get material. AS soon as we are as
sured of a sufficient supply Of gas
the contract for building the new
pumping plant at Scipio will be let.
We will know in few weeks whether
conditions will warrant the building
Of this pumping plant"
S. M. Brewster, attorney general,
announced he would call a meeting of
all Interests involved in the natural
gas litigation to discuss any further
legal steps. 1t is the idea of the at
torney general that the Kansas Natur-
al ought to be removed from the courts
and the litigation ended. A proposal
to have this done will be taken up at
the meeting next week.

CHAPTER V-contlnued.

So Upton, laying aside his rifle,
went down the hill to meet the pseudo
officer, who, with an orderly behind
him, was signaling for an interview.
well, what is it you pirates
want?" he asked truculently. Are
you tryin' to make livin' by your
own unaided efforts?"
1--WE have come to collect from the
holders Of Mexican property a part
of their illgotten gains in order, senor,
that the brave and patriotic defenders
of the republic shall not be hungry"
well, you've undertaken grown
mnn's job. then,' snarled Upton.
I'VE demand the payment by the
Santa Cruz mine of five thousand dol
lars in cash and the surrender of all
the arms, ammunition and powder, in
cluding dynamite, that you have, as
well as the permanent loan Of all your
able-bodied horses"
Him! And what do l get out Of
it?"
"You will have our protection and
our assurances that you will not be
bothered or annoyed by any further
compulsory loans made to the provi-
sional republic"
Upton fumbled for moment in his
pocket, from which he finally produced
two papers. These he handed to his
interviewer.
There are two other projections
given me last month";" he said tersely.
"You will see that one is for two thou
sand and the other for fifteen hun
dred."
I'VE will guarantee you against
any further contributions" said the
other ingratiatingly.
"If your own force isn't strong
enough to take my place it certainly
isn't strong enough to protect me
against anything. No, senor, l won't
pay you a single cent-not a sou
markee. I've stood all I'm going to
stand from you fellows. Now I'll ap-
peal to the American consul"
The other spat derisively.
Better trust to mel" he said vain
gloriously. But If you do not sur
render Immediately but compel me to
take the place, tell you frankly,
senor, l shall show no quarter"
We'll, l can't help that, can 1?
will give you, sir, exactly what you
can take-an' it won't strain your back
