sTEER-FEEDING EXPERIMENT
cottonseed Meal and Velvet Beans
Used With and Without Add
tion Of SheIIed Corn.

In a steer-feeding experiment con-
Quoted last year on the government
farm at Beltsville, Nd, four lots of
two-year-old steers were fed. The pur-
pose was to compare cottonseed meal
and soaked velvet beans when used
with and without the addition Of
shelled corn.
The addition Of corn to ration
composed of corn silage, cottonseed
meal and wheat straw did not pay.
The addition of corn to the ration Of
velvet beans and corn silage was
profitable.
The lot receiving corn silage and
soaked velvet beans with small guam
tity Of cottonseed meal as an appe-
tizer produced the most economical
gains and showed the greatest profit,
even though the daily gains and the
selling price of the cattle were lower
than those Of any Of the other lots.

FERMENT OF PoPuLATioN-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mayence, April 8. Disturbances
broke out in Frankfort, but energetic
intervention by the French troops re-
stored order. From German sources
it is learned that six Germans were
killed and thirty-five wounded. 1t is
reported that the manifestations which
gave rise to these incidents were due
to an order originating in Berlin. "The
first day of the occupation of Frank
fort passed without incident. The re-
ception by the population was almost
cordial" said General Degoutte, the
French commander, on his return from
tour of inspection.
Then, suddenly, on orders from Ber-
lin, a certain ferment seized the popu-
lation. This ferment degenerated into
aggression and our soldiers, in self
defense, were obliged to use. their
arms So far as l know we had no
losses.

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams
That Put Up Good Exhibitions
of the National Game.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have
baseball teams composed of inmates,
and the national sport has done much
to revive the health and spirits of
prisoners. These baseball teams are
uniformed and play a regular schedule
of games, but of necessity these games
are always played on the prison home
grounds.
One of the best known prison teams
is that of Sing Sing. 1t is known as
the Mutual Welfare league team, and
last season it won more than 90 per
cent of games played with visiting
mines. The prison baseball field has a
splendidly graded surface, and there
are bleachers for spectators. The team
plays Saturday and Sunday after
Moons. Visiting teams come from New
Jersey and Connecticut. The prison
team has won from some of the best
semi-professional mines in these states.
The Eastern penitentiary in Philadel-
phia has long maintained a baseball
team. and has developed many good
players.
