 This will be treat for it is an awe-inspiring sight to witness a total eclipse. Being in June chances for clear weather are more favorable.

FEEDING GRAIN FOR
BEEF PRODUCTION

Professor T. L. Hacker, who has
charge Of the animal nutrition work at
the Minnesota experiment station farm
at st. Paul, believes that even in that
state beef production can be made
profitable under rational systems of
feeding. Professor Hacker has for
nine years been experimenting in fat
tening cattle and as a result has drawn
the conclusion that the most important
point In increasing the profits is to re.
duce the amount of grain nearly half
and increase the amount of roughage
The feeding experiments started by
Professor Hacker In 1907 dealt with
1874 beef bred steers. These were fed
In eight different groups under varying
conditions. In every case the steers
more than paid for the feed given
them. Steers that were stall fed all
their lives brought more at market
prices than their feed cost Steers run
on pasture for two seasons brought
from $40 to $25 more than the cost of
feed,
Mr.. Hacker says that nearly twice
as much grain is given under ordinary
conditions Of beef feeding as can be
used. 1t does not add to the farmers
bank account to overfeed the cattle and
expect the hogs to dig the waste out
of the manure pile. Feeding expert
ments commonly used before this from

Big Circus to
Come to Dresden

The big show is coming. Yep!
Sun Brothers. This show will
come by train bright and early,
with a long string Of handsome
steel cars and will bring a retinue

wonders.
The advertising car and advance

the first time many new animal
features, but the monkeys are the
same, and the elephants, too, as in
the days OF long ago. However,
the latter are now doing routine
of acts, notable original tricks,
being a stir on the great American
craze, the tango dance. These
big giants are certaingy some
dancers" They must be seen to
be fully appreciated. They also
do a great base ball scene and a
new and novel brass band stunt.
The equestrian and riding seals
and sea lions are also among the
new novelties this season. The
big show programme is rich and
fairly teens with the finest foreign
and American feature aeriaIlsts,
acrobats, jugglers, contortlonlsts,
equilibrists and general perform
ers.
The clowns are predominating
attraction and they are better than
ever, with a routine of new funny
scenes, and are this season headed
by Billy Zanfretto, the we'll known
Hippordrome clown and pantomi-
mist.
As special. free attraction the
Sun Borthers' will present at
noontime, on the show grounds, a
great European thriller" said to
be the greatest free attraction ever
offered by a tented aggregation.

Sensation in Negro
Religious Circles.

Quite a sensation was createc
here last Thursday in negro re-
ligious circles, when the twelve
year.old daughter of John Mailing
porter at Madden q Pointers
barber shop, reported that q
negro preacher from Union City
had tried to ravish her at the
home of Green BrasdeId.
The accused negro, who is very
large, weighing something like zoe
pounds, had been here holding a
revival meeting at the G. M. g.
church, and it is said that he was
powerful in the pulpit" 1t is
alleged by the girl that he at
tempted to rape her. She cried
out and Green Brasfeld rushed
into the room. 1t is stated, we
have been informed, that when
he got into the room where the
preacher and girl were he saw
nothing out of the way The
negro left here on the afternoon
train, going to Mckenzie, thence
to Humboldt and from the latter
place to his home in Union City,
where he was subsequently placed
under arrest and brought to
Dresden Saturday morning and
given hearing before ESQ. I. A.
Lewis. Hon. Rice A. Pierce
represented the accused negro.
Esq. Lewis bound him over to
the grand jury, the negro giving
bail for bis appearance and re-
turning to Union City,

Tobacco Barn Falls
While Being Filled.

What came near resulting
seriously for several hands oc'
Cured on the John Nowlin farm,
near Sharon, on Thursday OF last
week, when a tobacco barn, which
was being filled with new-cut to-
bacco, gave way at the founda'
ton and came tumbling down
with a terrific noise. Fortunate
" the hands made their escape
without so much as a scratch.
The barn was an old one and
was being filled, the crop from
seven acres being housed in the
structure. Willing hands soor
gathered and worked all night
rebuilding the barn and saving
the crop OF tobacco. which was O.
an excellent quality.
Always at this season there are
many barns burned in the coun
ty, but in all our experience re
cording news events we do moi
remember one having fallen be
fore this. The friends of Mr.
Nowlin, who has been in very
poor health, hope the loss viii
only be a trifing one.

ten to twenty pounds of grain per day
during the fattening period MI.
Hacker never succeeded in feeding
eleven pounds. To feed a steer from
the time he weighs 100 pounds until he
weighs 1,20O pounds, according to the
tests, requires on the average the fol
lowing amounts of feed: Grain, 2,20S.2
'pounds-consisting Of approximately
eighteen bushels Of corn, five and
quarter bushels of barley, nine and
half bushels of oats, 76S pounds of
bran, GAS pounds Of oilmeal ana 325
pounds of middlings, 2S0O.5 pounds OF
hay and 3,2409 pounds of silage.
The grain cost for the five CHER
groups of steers averaged for the first
year S1432 a head and for the second
year 1892, making a total cost OF
S5424 for the grain feed for TWO
year-old steer finished for market,
A small daily gain was found to be
most profitable. A gain of little less
than two pounds day was kept up Oh
these steers. 1t gave better results
than heavy gains for a few weeks that
couldn be maintained.
The cost of producing additional
gains increases as the cattle become
heavier. The tests show that the cost
of feeding calves to weight OF loo
pounds is about 10 cents a pound
From 200 to 800 pounds the feed costs
40 cents a pound. A pound IN the
900 to 1000 pound period costs 9'3
cents, and In the 400 to 1,5OO pound
period it costs 1874 cents.
Heavy grain feeding is wasteful anu
increases the cost Of the cattle without
making the product any bigger or any
better.

WalnutS and Hickory
nuts on the Same Tree

Mr.. Jack Thompson - jolly,
iovial Jack-brought half a dozen
"wal-hickory' nuts to Dres-
den on Monday morning, leaving
them at the Enterprise office for
inspection by those interested in
this peculiar freak,
These nuts grew on a black
walnut tree, hard by which is
located a scalybark hickory tree,
and these mixed. breed nuts are
the result Of the pollen from the
hickory tree being developed by
the flower of the walnut tree.
We never saw anything like it
before. One is a perfect walnut.
Another is about half walnut and
half hickory nut, and another
is nearly all hickory nut, with just
a bit of walnut at the base,
and still another is hickory nut
covering over the walnut.
1t is worth your trouble to
come and look at them. Mr.
Thompson says he never OBJ
served them growing this way
before. He picked these up un-
der the walnut tree on Monday,
bringing them to town.
