PROPOSED RECOUNT
is GIVEN SETBACK
Ruling by NttOrncy-Gcncral Bars
Election Board from Action
ON Murray Motion.


Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. S.-The
state election board has no authority
to order a recount of votes in coun-
ties whore returns have been certi-
t.Cd to the state board and the latter,
acting in a mininterial capacity, is
bound to issue certificate to the can
didate having the highest number of
votes as shown in the returns sent to
the state board. This is the holding
of the attorneN-general today, an
sWering an inquiry of the state eleC-
ton board, following the application
of W. ii. Murray, congressional can
dld&tc for nomination, for a recount
of votes in several counties in the
Fourth district.
The returns show that Judge Tom
McKcown OF Ada is nominated over
Murray and II. n. Smith. Murray
claims that mistakes were made in
the counting of votes in some Of the
counties, and that "A recount would
show him to have received the
nomination. He filed his order for a
recount with the state election board.
While the attorney general said what
the state board could not be com
PEELED to do, he did not intimate what

the contestant in the election, but it
is the opinion Of lawyers that the
only practice would be for Murray
to make his application for a recount
to the county election boards in the
various counties in which he believes
the votes should be reCounted
1t is understood that a contest is
Icing made in Pttshurg county over
the returns for members of the legis-
lature. This has not come officially
TO the state election board. and it is
possible, after the opinion from the
attorney general, the matter will be
settled in the county where original

in the election, and that fair count
was had in every county.

VALUE OF CORN SILAGE
AS feed FOR LAMBS

The purpose Of recent Nebraska
lamb feeding experiment was to find
out the comparative value Of corn and
alfalfa hay fed in various forms, with
and without corn silage, says the Or
ange Judd Farmer. The addition Of
corn silage to ration of shelled corn
and alfalfa hay increased the daily
slight gain per lamb and increased the
cost Of production cents per 100
pounds, but did not affect the net profit.
The addition of silage to ground corn
and ground alfalfa did not increase the
gain, but reduced the cost of 100 pounds
gain 81 cents.
Whole grain and hay in conjunction
with the silage was the more econom-
ical of the two rations. Lambs on
ground corn and ground alfalfa hay
made daily gains of O.371 pound at a
cost of $612 per 100 pounds, while
those on shelled corn and alfalfa hay
made daily gains of O.396 pound at q

Standard Bred Horses.

Thoroughbred is the name applied
to the English running race horse and
is the name Of a breed. 1t is in no
way associated with such terms as
pure bred or pure blooded. The thor
oughbred horse came from oriental
stock and was developed into definite
breed about the year 100 in England.
The standard bred horse is not strict
ly breed, but includes animals which
are bred to a standard Of perform
ance. They must trot one mile in 2:3O
and must pace it In 2:25 or better. This
breed, If it may be called a breed.
was developed in Orange county, N. Y,

the two feeds and mixing together did
not produce sufficient added gain to
pay for the cost Of grinding.
In test to compare good versus poor
alfalfa hay as supplement to corn in
mutton production it was found that
good alfalfa was worth double the
value of poor alfalfa hay. Corn and al
falfa hay made the best gains at the
least cost in an experiment Of four lots
of lambs receiving different rations.
The other three rations were corn, al
falfa and silage, ground corn and

and prairie hay. The most expensive
gains We're in the prairie hay lot. The
actual cost of the feed in this expert
