question has a strong booster In this
gentleman, who has been practicink
what he breaches for many years past.
Each year he has been in the habit Of
feeding a bunch Of purebred baby
beeves for the summer market, and
each time has been successful in get
ting out on the venture. At his farm
he maintains drove Of Hereford cat
tie and aside from the regular breed
ing business, he raises drove of steers
for the killers each year.
Many feeders think that purebreds
are for breeding and most anything
will do for the killers, but cases Of
this sort argue well for cattle Of good
blood to be finished for the market.
The feeder who recently made these
remarks Is emphatic in saying that 1t
pays to raise purebreds for feeding
purposes, and his advice to young men
just getting into the livestock business
is to get a start on purebred herd as
soon as possible. A good start short
ems the road to successful ending in

WILL WORK INJURY
FiIipinos Not Benefited by Ad-

Pledge to Grant Self Government at
an Indefinite Time Is Merely
Piece Of Bryan Moral
istic Buncombe.

The Philippine bill, it seems does
not define the period during which. ac-
cording to Democratic doctrine, the
peoples of the islands are to ripen into
fitness for government. In place
of this definite pledge the Filipinos
have a promise that when they are
ready for it they are to be granted
independence.
How this squares with the Demo-
cratic doctrine of noninterference, so
continually worked out in our Next
can policy, it is hard to figure out.
Probably the Democratic upologists
will not pause over it any longer than
Senator Walsh was inclined to pause
over the topic Of southern control. But
meanwhile Americans who permit their
common sense to play upon the sub
ject will be able to predict the effect
upon island sentiment and island pc.
liucal ambition of this glittering gen
eral promise. What the bill does is
to fix In Philippine politics for an In
definite time to come, If not perma-
nently, an incurable disease, a peren-
NAL source of political demagogy and
party tactics, Il curse put upon the
islands to pacate sentimentaiists and
impracticals at home and seem to keep
a pledge while evading it.
There was no need for such a pledge,
which means literally nothing so long
as we retain, as the pledge implies, the
right to decide when the islands are
fit for Independence. All that it is is
party hocus-pocus. a piece of Bryan

FLEECED LAMBS MAKE GAINS
Old Idea Regarding Refrigeration sus-
tanned by Test at Nebraska State
Experiment Station.

The old idea that shorn lamb will
regain in week or ten days the
weight of the wool removed from it at
shearing time was indicated recently
In an experiment at the Nebraska
state experiment station. Five lots
of IL lambs each were used in the
experiment, each lot fed little diff
ferently. AS the lambs were too heavy
to hold for the experiment, there was
an average loss of five cents per ami
NAL, but the fact that the lambs did
especially well after the fleece was
removed proved the old theory The
daily gain was 81 OF pound.

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW
Summer SiIo Gaining Favor as Source
Of Succuient Feed-Some Grain
Should Be Given.

The summer silo is gaining favor
rapidly as a supply source Of a suf-
f1cient amount of succulent feed. Many
dairy farmers feed silage every day in
the year and especially when pasture
is not to- be had. A small silo built
and filled in the fall to be opened in
July is the most economical method OF
supplying a succulent ration during
short pastures.
Silage left over from winter feeding
may be kept with very little loss I'M
til midsummer. Cows should be fed
from 40 to so pounds of silage each
day. Silage alone does not furnish a
balanced ration SO some grain should
be fed, especially to the cows that
give the most milk.
At least one pound of cottonseed
meal should he included on the daily
grain ration.

did Mr. Hughes in his address before

their important role in national af-

form of speech adapted to a lighter
type of intellect did Mr.. Hughes greet
them. To him they were fellow citi-
zens and he addressed them as such.
