The spectacle was one wholly new
to Berlin, where the bill board priv
ileges are strictly confined to the ia
mialiar columns on the street corners
while the distribution Of hand bills is
ordinarily restricted by police regula-
tons. Today, however, the house and
fronts on Inter Den Linden from the
Pariser Platz to the opera house was
one continuous bill board appeal to
the voter.

The entire apparatus of the govern
ment was. set in motion for the ma
jority socialist campaign. The inde-
pendent socialists confined their at
tempts at vote getting to public meet
ings. The German democratic party
carried on an active house to house
canvass. The conservatives, clerical
and national liberals relied chiefly on
the party newspaper organs.
For the purpose Of protecting the
polling places. a machine gun squad
was in position within a hundred feet
OF each voting place. while strong mil
itary police patrols also were on guard.

In the formation of long lines of men

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Feeding cOttonseed cake to steers as
supplement to summer pasture in
creases materially the rate of gains
made by the animals, causes them TO
finish more quickly and take on a high
er degree Of finish, and increases the
margin between the buying and selling
prices, specialists of the United States
department of agriculture say in Bull
letin III, just published by the depart
ment. The bulletin is report of ex-
periments in fattening steers on sum-
mer pasture conducted comparatively
by the department and the Alabama
experiment station in 1912 and 1913,
and the Mississippi experiment station
in 1915 and 1916.
All the experiments were carried out
under actual and typical farm condi-
lions. Consequently the results may
be applied directly in many regions to.
the management and feeding of cattle
on pasture. In each experiment,
groups of steers were kept on pas
ture alone; on pasture with a supple
mentary feed Of one-half corn chop and
one-half cottonseed cake; and on pas
ture with supplementary feed Of cot
tonseed cake. The average daily gains
for each animal, which may be consid-
cred the most valuable standard in
judging the efficiency of rations, were
1.49 pounds for the steers. getting pas
ture only; 1888 pounds for the steers
getting cottonseed cake with pasture;
and LIB pounds for those on pasture
supplemented by the mixture Of cake
and corn chop.
The initial cost Of the steers per 100
pounds of the three groups was the
same for any one year, but in each
case the steers on pasture alone sold
for a lower price. The margins be-
tween the buying and selling prices of
the cattle were always in favor Of
those which were fed supplements with
their pastures. The margins aver
aged less than % cents a hundred
pounds for the steers on pasture alone,
compared to 30 cents for animals
which were fed cottonseed cake with
pasture, and 811a cents for the ami
mails whose pasture was supplemented
with the mixture of cake and corn

hearts will succumb more easily. Herr
Schmidt reports to his own obvious
satisfaction that the women are hav-
ing little success, and the prisoners In
huge majority announce their inten-
ton of standing by the empire. There
is. however, minor element among
the prisoners themselves that promises
possible trouble-that element which

butchered inspection showed that the
steers which were fed cottonseed cake,
or a mixture of cake and corn with
pasture dressed out higher than the
cattle which had pasture alone.
While the steers that had pasture
alone made gains cheaply, the total
gains were not large, ard the steers
did not take on high finish. Their
unfinished condition is reflected in the
small margin on which they were sold
and low dressing percentages. Thus
the profits they returned were smaller
than for the steers in the other two
groups.
The cost of gains of steers on pas
ture is greatly increased by feeding
cottonseed cake, it was found, but the
better market price received for cake
fed cattle usually pays for the addi-
tional cost of feeding cake, and re-
turns greater average profit than
is realized on the CRASHED cattle. One
of the distinct advantages of supple
menting pastures for concentrates Is
the fact that steers SO handled can be
finished more quickly and can be mar
keted earlier than steers getting grass
alone. Thus the cattle can be sold be-
fore the rush of CRASHED cattle glutS
the marked and depresses prices.
Moreover when cattle are marketed
early, the pastures have time to re-
cuperate and furnish good grazing for
other stock during the fall.
There is only one case, says the bull
letin, when pasture alone is prefera-
BILE to pastures with concentrates.
Steers Of inferior quality may return
more profit by grazing alone than by
grazing with the addition Of supple
Inentary feeds, especially when they
are on good pastures that are cheap
Scrub steers do not respond readily
to the use of good feeds, and even
when well finished do not command
satisfactory prices in competition with
gell-bred cattle similarly finished. The
better the quality of the steers, the
safer it is to give them high-priced
leeds.

rejoiced at the action of the officials
of the railway brotherhoods giving the
workers permission to take such ac-
