Special to The Washington Herald.


New York, Oct. 1.-The second week
of the New York Herald's Presidential
forecast shows Mr.. Hughes still ahead
and by slightly increased margin, but
still not sufficiently in the lead to justify
prediction on the result of the cleo
ton. Conditions are changing. Peopse

next two weeks should give definite
indication about what will happen on
November T.
No fght for the Presidency in the last
twenty-eight years at least has, at thu
corresponding stage OF the campaign,
given such promise of q close race.
From all that can be gathered from
5,2s straw votes. taken In twenty
eight states-the ten Southern States arc
omitted from the canvass, being solidly
Democratic-it appears to be a safe as
sertion that the Republicans have a
shade the better Of the contest Just now.
The situation might be summarized as
follows:
President Wilson is stronger than his
party.
Charles z. Hughes perhaps is not quite
so strong as the Republican party in
the days before its split in two in Chi
cago, four years ago.
In other words, the margin of difference

Even at such prices, which are much

cially in those sections where the ra-

and corn stover, providing the price

seed Meal for Feeding Beef Cattle"
the attention of feeders is called to
the following points:
l. Do not feed young calves heavily
on cottonseed meal.
2. Secure prices on both cottonseed
meal and linseed meal and use the
cheaper feed.
3. II cottonseed meal does not cost
over $34 ton 1t can probably be used
to advantage in wintering the breeding
herd.
4. BY feeding ration Of two pounds
or cottonseed cake with corn silage,
or 2ls pounds Of cottonseed cake with
coarse roughages, such as oat straw.
corn slower, ETC., mature cattle can be
wintered very economically.
s. One pound Of cottonseed meal is
usually worth as much as two pounds
of corn for feeding cattle.
g. In sections where much corn, sto,
yer, fodder, timothy or other carbohy.
drate feeds are used, it is extremely
important that some feed like cotton.
seed meal be used.
Z. Cottonseed meal stimulates the
appetite Of fattening animals and
causes them to consume more feed and
likewise to make greater gains.
5. Heavy feeding of cottonseed meal
should be discontinued after 100 to
1870 days where dry roughage is fed
and after $50 days where succuent
feeds are used.
8. Cottonseed cake can be used very
proitably as a supplemental feed for
fattenfng cattle on pasture.
