Report was made last week that
Chancellor Ross had been suggested
By Attorney General Dougherty to
succeed the late Federal Judge John
E. Mccall and that President Hard
ing would this week send his nomina-
ton to the Senate; but Congressman
Lon Scott has succeeded in holding
up" the appointment and those back
here who are aiding and abetting
Congressman Scott in opposition to
the appointment of Chancellor Ross
are said to be moving the heavens
and the earth" to dig up anything
they can to the detriment of the Chan
cellor. Not single one of the oppo-
sition to Chancellor Ross have had
the hardihood to make the statement
that if appointed he would make a
Judge who would adorn and honor the
Federal judiciary.

BRINTON'S

j. W. Brinton is not popular Just
now with the Socialist politicians and
press. 1t is quite natural that he
should not be. He makes serious
charges against officials of the state
and leaders in the political move
ment which has resulted in the PRES
ent muddle. His charges may be
false. If so he is liable for perjury.
In so far as his charges tend to in
jure the reputation Of any individual,
he is subject to proceedings for
libel.
He has challenged his opponents to
bring proceedings against him. Should
the challenge be accepted, the hand
ling Of the suits on the part OF the
c%omplainants will be in the hands of
those affiliated with the Nonpartisan
league. There can be no suspicion of
whitewash under the circumstances.
In criminal 8 against Brinton the
prosecution will be in charge OF Attor-
ney General Lemke, who, it is to be
presumed, would prosecute with all
the vigor at his command.
Do they dare arrest Brinton?

Farming in the N northwest
For More and Better Livestock
FEEDING TO FATTEN-SIXTH ARTICLE.
By j. G. Haney, Agri. Exten. Dept, International Harvester ~

The feeding of cattle for the pur-
pose OF fattening them has been Civ
en- very little consideration in this re-
gion. However, there is no reason
WIN many more cattle should not be
fattened here. 1t has been proven by
experience that our dry winters are
very favorable to feeding cattle.
For the past six winters on our
farms we have fattened out cattle
and sold them on. the markets. This
has largely been possible because OF
the fact that we had corn and alfalfa
to feed. The cattle fed have ranged
from two-year-old steers to old cows,
and in all instances the results have
been satisfactory. Our experience in
dicates that cattle that are to be fat
tened should be bought in the fall
when they are in fairly good shape,
and fed q little more than a mainte-
nance ration during the fall and win
ter. That is, they should be fed suf-
fcient to keep them in good shane
until h last of February. and then
fed more literally until time to mar
ket. which would probably be about
the first of June.
The feeding of cattle, even in the
corn belt. Is being conducted along
very different lines than it was twen-
tN a. ago. A great, many feeders
used to believe, and practice, that it
required a year or more to fatten
steers. Now a great many feeders do
not figure on feeding longer than sew
enty-hve to a hundred days.
Our method has been to buv the
stock in the fall, and as stated we
have fed them a fairly good ration of
alfalfa: silage and straw. until about
the middle of March, when we have
begun feeding grain, and fed until
the first of June. We also figure thai
there is more profit in feeding a. rath-
er light ration of grain. That il.
.two:year-old steers weighing eight or
nine hundred pounds, should eat thir.
ty to forty pounds of grain per day
on full feed. Our practice has been
to limit them to about half this
amount. which would call for their
eating a large amount Of other feed,
such as silage and alfalfa.
While it is not possible to put the
same finish on cattle with this method
of feeding, that it would be feeding
them a full grain ration Of grain for q
longer time: there unquestionablv IL a
greater profit made in this way OF
feeding. The Experiment Stations.
especially of South Dakota, have
;demopstrated this by carrying on ex-
along this line. Where the silaxe II
available. 1t would Of course be al
visable to feed all ths corn silage that
the steers would clean up once a day.
And also have available about ali the
alfalfa hay they would eat. The
practice has. been to begin about the
middle Of March by adding chop or
Grain to the silage. IN some cases

"A TEST OF LEGALITY.

The action of certain labor leaders
in Kansas in calling a strike of min
ers in defiance of court orders in
wolves more than controversies be-
tween employers and employees in the
particular mining districts affected.
The real issue in Kansas is the legal
ity OF the industrial court recently
established, and a collateral issue is
the influence which the decision in
the case will have on legislation in six
or seven other northwestern states.
The new Kansas industrial law
provides for the creation Of an In
dustrial court which is vested with
authority to determine controversies
involving labor in all cases where a
satisfactory adjustment cannot be
reached between the original parties.
The Law is based on the assumption
that the rights Of the public to goods
and services are paramount, and that
disputes among individuals must not
be permitted to interfere with the
enjoyment of those rights. The court
has been esta bllshed, and is func-
tioning. If it is established as a law
full body, with lawful authority. the
DISCRIMINATION of industry by strikes
or lockouts will be possible only by
direct violation of law.
Bills for the creation of similar
courts have been introduced in the
legislatures of several other states,
and upon the standing of the Kansas
statute depends very largely the sue
cess of the movement in these other
states for the adoption of this legis-
lation. Hence the legal phases Of
the present Kansas dispute will be
watched with more than ordinary in
~terest.
