TIMOTHY HAY Is NUTRITIOUS

DigestibIe Nutrients as There Is

In 100 pounds of timothy hay there
are 1873 pounds of digestibIe nutrl-

as there is in corn sllage. Corn silage,
being a succulent feed and more pala-

Tune, this apparently has not been
found true In practice
Four-Horse Teams Preferred.
The greater number of faur-horse
teams and even some five-horse teams
on 14-inch sulky plows for fall plow-
Ing is accounted for by the fact that
blowing in the fa'l is usually about one
inch deeper than in the spring, and
also by the fact that the ground Is gen
orally dry and hard TO turn. On an
average. outfits of the same size cover
about half acre less per day in the
fall than in the spring, due not only
to the more difficult conditions men
toned above, but also to the fact THAI
the time spent in the field Is about two
thirds of an hour less per day in the
fall
AS is the case In spring blowing, the
l4-inch pillow seems to cover practi-
cally as much ground per day as the
l6-inch size. provided both are drawn
by the same number of horses. The
addition of the fourth horse increases
the efficiency of the unit by about 10
per cent and the addition of the fifth
horse to the 16-inch pillow results In
similar increase. Excepting under
favorable conditions, sulky pillow
seems to be somewhat of an overload
for three horses of the size and type
used on these farms
Many Gang PIows Used.
Over $50 men reported using horse
drawn gang plows on their farms.
About so per cent of these plOws have
14-inch bottoms. Most of the remain
Ing plOws have 12-inch bottoms Some
plOws with 13-inch bottoms were re-
ported, but the number was so small
that no figures on their performance
are given. Over three fourths of the
men who use gang plows also reported
the use of sulky plows.
comparison of an average days
work for 16-inch sulky plOws and 90
inch gang plows shows that so far as
horse labor Is concerned the gang pillow
drawn by four horses Is the most eff
Client unit in both spring and fall In
the spring this outfit covers one and a
quarter acres per day per horse, while
both the Sulky pillow drawn by three
horses and the gang pillow drawn by five
horses cover one acre per day per-
horse. The gang pillow drawn by six
horses covers but nine-tenths of an
acre per horse
In the fall four horses with the gang
pillow cover 1.02 acres per horse, while
three horses on the Sulky pillow and
five horses on the gang pillow cover SO

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, May 1O.--The local mar ket for raw sugar was unchanged with buyers and sellers apart. Re- liners continue to bid IS 1-2 cents for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 1856 for centrifugal, while there were rumors that outport refiners had paid over cent above these prices. Late last week there were sales of about 16,OOO bags of Porto Ricos for May shipment at 1856 for centrifugal or about the same price as refiners are willing to pay for Cubas. The undertone, however, is strong and at the close there was nothing available, which holders showing no willingness to meet re- liners ideas.
 Prices for refined sugar were ad- vanced ore cent a pound by lead ing refiner, fine granulated now ran ging from IS 1-2 to 23 cents. The demand is still active and much in excess of the supply.
 Sugar futures were little more active and prices were strong and higher on covering and buying by trade interests, prompted by the firm ness of the spot market Closing prices were 30 to 45 points net higher

Contest Will of
 Marshall Field

Chicago, May 10.-What Chicago at torneys say will be the most expon- sive array of legal talent ever called in a case here, will appear next Tues day before Judge Foell of superior court to argue for an intetrpreta- tion of the twentieth article on the Marshall Field will.
 The article provides that two- fifths of the residuary estate should go to Marshall Field II, two-fifths to Mary Field and one-fifth to Gwendo- lyn Field, provided they all reached the age of fifty. Upon the death of any with issue, the share was to be held in trust for the children until they reached twenty-one.
 Peggy Marsh, English actress, as- serts her son, Henry Anthony Marsh, is an issue of the late Henry Field.
 Judge Focll will be asked to con- strue the term tissue" as to wheth- CT legal issue" was meant, or any issue. Marshall Field III contends, in the present action, that the share of Henry Field should be turned over to him and his sister, Gwcndolyn Field, at once. Whether CT not Nancy Perkins Field Tree, Henry Fields widow, is entitled to dover rights is another question.

 The early selling was based on the fact that outside of Texas virtually no rain was shown in the cotton belt on the weather may, while tempera- lures were seasonable in all districts.

 We went downstairs together. Tony caught me firmly by the elbow. He led me into a small, secluded reading room just off the public lounge.
