NeqO Feeding Methods.

THE drought conditions and the great
surplus Of wheat this year have tended TO
revolutionize farm live stock feeding methOds.
In poultry yards for instance. the greater pdr-
ton Of the feeding formerly was based on corn
because of its cheaper price, with wheat added
as long as it was practical to stimulate egg
production.
Now, however, with corn prices high and the
crop somewhat shorter, farmers are finding It
cheaper to feed wheat.
The Department of Agriculture In an en-
deavor to obtain information on feeding pro-
grams and just what might be expected In the
way of employment of the huge stocks of wheat,
sent out 10000 questionnaires to farmers and
$4,000 more to poultry raisers elevator opera
tors and commercial feed manufacturers
1t is estimated that the supply of corn, oats,
barley and grain sorghums is about 10 per cent
or 100000 tons, below last year, with the hay
crop Is per cent, or 100000 tons. below.
The replies to the questionnaires indicated the
intention of farmers and others to use 1885,
COCO bushels Of wheat weighing approGI-
mately 100000 tons, In feeding In excess Of
the amount used In normal years. @a 3a -t>f

WOMAN BULL FIGHTERS

ALGES, Spain (P1.-At bullfight

strong team of men "toreadors" in a
test of pluck and skill.
After the "dartsmen" have finished
with the bull, a group of "forcados'
Cpitchforkers) entered the arena and
while one seized the bleeding bull by
the horns the others held 1t fast by
sheer weight. This is called ''pega"
or catch. The secret of the ''pega" lies
In good team work, and the women
forcados so far outdid the men in this
contest that they were awarded the
honors.
Bullhghts recently have suffered an
eclipse. All kinds of improvements and
sideshows failed to stimulate interest in
a game which the majority of the P0r-
tugueSe condemn as cruel and unsports-
nlanlike. The appearance of woman
bulIfighters drew crowds and have
added a new lease on life TO the ma

~ Radio to The star.


SHANGHAI, China, September Ia
Calling on all his divisional command
ers to exert their fullest efforts to win
the war, Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, Presi-
dent OF the Marking government, has
announced that the final drive Is now
in progress Reports reaching here in
dictate heavy fighting along the Pieping-
Hankow and the Lunghsi railroads,
with considerable gains against Gen.
Feng Yu-Hsiang's retreating troops.
The Marking government also has
announced the receipt OF encouraging
news from its delegates at Mukden to
the effect that the young marshal, Gen.
Chang Hsueh-Liang, Is prepared to lend
q helping hand. This report Is largely
discredited here as being an attempt to
bolster the optimism of Marking adj
herents while the final push is under
way.
Sapping this optimism is a report in
the Chinese press that Marking in
tends to float another $50,000,000 loan
for the purpose of financing Manchu-
ria's war The loans will be known as
1880 customs treasury notes" Local
property owners, by paying two months
advance rent, are expected to raise
