RESULTS ON GROWING COLTS Come of the Animals Raised Entirely On Alfalfa, While Others Were Not Given That Feed. Tlic Nebraska Agricultural Experi ment Station has just issued Builetiu ISO, entitled “Forage Rations for Growing Horses." This is Builetiu No. ll of the North Platte Substation eeries. The bulletin gives the resillts of growing three lots of 10 colts each front weaning time until January 14 of the winter after they became three years old. on different pasture and forage rations. ix>t 1 ate alfalfa hay duriug the winter and grazed on alfalfa pasture duriug the summer. 1-ot 2 ate alfalfa hay during the win- | ter and grazed ou native grass pas ture uiiring the summer. Lot 3 ate prairie hay and cane hay during the winjer and grazed ou native grass pasture during the summer. Each lot was fed grain during the first win- ! ter. Lot was fed graiu duriug the second winter, also. During the third : summer all lots were given the same feed, and the colts were all worked Some. The gain on alfalfa pasture during the first summer was more than twice as much as on the native grass pas ture, but duriug the second summer the colts that did not have alfalfa at any time (Lot :i) gained more on the | native g:ass pasture than the colts in I-ot I gained on the alfhlfa pas ture. During the first winter the gain of ! the clots fed alfalfa hay was about HO per cent more than the gain of those not fed alfalfa hay. After the ; first year, the rate of gain depended i largely on the condition of flesh of I the colts at the beginning of the per- i iod under consideration. The colts fed prairie hay and cane hay in the 1 winter made a faster gain during the rummer than those which had been led alfalfa during the winter. Also ! the colts that grazed on native, grass pasture in the summer made more ; gain during the winter when fed al- j ldlfa than the colts which grazed on j alfalfa pasture in the summer and were fed alfalfa in the winter. This may he explained by the fact that an ■ animal thin in flesh gains faster ! when given good conditions than an animal already in good flesh. During the entire experiment the relative gains of the three lots were: Lot 1. 100; Lot 2, 90 - Lot 3. 80. The colts in l-ot 1 gained’70 pounds more per head than those in ix>t 2 and 140 pounds more per head than those in Ijof 3. The cost of growing the colts in Lot 1 was $65.30 per head, of those , in Lot 2. $52.48 per head, and of those in Lot 3 $45.48 per head. The profit per colt was $27.46 after pay. ing for all feed eaten, interest on the investment and loss. The labor of caring for the colts is not considered. The author concludes that it was not profitable to pasture the alfalfa, at least after the first summer, under the conditions prevailing at North I’laite. i'nder certain conditions it may be profiatble to pasture alfalfa. Feeding alfalfa hay during the win ter was profitable. This bulletin will be sent to resi dents of the state on request to Di rector E. A. Burnett, Lincoln, Ne braska. The stock judging team sent by the university state farm to the American royal cattle show at Kansas City, won the first prize. Dwyer Opposes Land Purchase. D. O. Dwyer of Plattsmouth is op posed to the purchase of the fifteen acres of land adjoining the deaf and dumb school at Omaha, which has been under consideration of the board of trustees, of which he is a member. At least he does not believe it of suf ficient importance to the welfare of the school to pay.$14,500 or any sura near it. Wanted to Serve Out Sentence. Charles D. Patterson, after being converted through the efforts of the city mission workers, iast week went to the state penitentiary and offered to serve six months’ sentence which had been suspended when Patterson was released six years ago on parole. Patterson broke the parole and since that time has been at liberty. He de clares that his determination to serve his time was the result of his conversion. He met the pardon board at the penitentiary and offered to serve his time. The board, after hearing his story, told him to go hack to Lincoln and go to work. - » New State Building. I^and Commissioner Cowles reports completion of a new laundry building at the asylum at Hastings. The building cost $20,000. It is 126x142, all one floor, of cement. An average of 9,000 pieces go through the laun dry every work day. The old laundry building which has two stories will be divided into small rooms for the use of nurses and attendants who now oc cupy rooms in the wards. This will give room for forty additional patients in the wards. At the Hastings asylum 100 cows are milked. Tiniey Home Hearing. There will be a hearing before the State Board of Health, consisting of Governor Aldrich, Attorney General Martin and State Snuperintendnt Del cell. soon on an application to have the license of the Tiniey home at Omaha revoked. This home has been running under the supervision of a woman known as. “Mother Lee” for several years as a maternity hospital. The home Is situated in a very de sirable and popular residence district of the city. Those owning property there want it removed. WORK OF IRRIGATION. Matters Discussed in the Late Con gress at Salt Lake. Labor Commissioner Uuye and As sistant State Engineer Roberts have returned from the national irrigation congress held at Salt Lake City last week. The meeting was an important one in that it took up some matters that it is thought will be beneficial to the country in the future. • One of the important matters dis cussed was the opening up of new lands in the irrigation districts where results have not beeu what they ought to have been. Formerly contracts I have been made with settlers to fur nish them water at $35 per acre, pay able in ten installments, with a pro viso that two crops can be raised be fore the payments begin, it has been found necessary 10 change the time of payments, as two years is not suf ficient time to enable a settler with little means to develop the land, and - new contracts were made giving an ex- t tension of time some time ago and ; making the paymenis $15 per acre, it is said that a new settler who under stands little of the science of irriga tion cannot hope to develop his land . so that he con raise crops at a profit ' for nearly five years, because of the long time it takes to get the land brok en up. the making of laterals and other necessary things to learn to make irrigating farming a success. Mr. Roberts says that it is recogniz ed that for the time Nebraska has been in the irrigation business the state has made a greater success of it than any otheV state. To show- what irrigation has done for Nebraska iu tae northwest portion of the state, F. A Wright, an attorney of Scottsbluff who attended the con gress in Salt Lake City anti called ai the state engineer's office, says: •'Probably no section of Nebraska has shown a greater percentage of prosperous growth than has the sec tion around Scottsbluff. This is due to two causes—water and sugar beets. The sugar beet factory at Scotts bluff this year will pay to the people within its territory over $1,00". 00". There are now being prepared for market and already sent to the Scottsbluff factory 135.000 acres of sugar beets. The factory pays $5.50 per ton on the track, and the beets ; will run about filteen tons to the acre, in addition to this the tops, which are cut and left on the ground, are sold | to feeders at from $:’> to $4 an acre. The operating expenses of the factory for the run of 120 days, beginning September 20. is about $250,000. A.l this money passes through the banks of Scottsbluff and you can imagine what that means to a town of 2.500 people. "We are counting a great deal on the next session of the state irrigation congress, which meets in Bridgeport on October 22, 23. and 24, to do much . toward bringing about a better condi tion of things between the farmer and the government.” continued Mr. Wright. “While we are doing pretty well ourselves, the new settlers need a better chance to make good and we hope that we can ineke the powers that be see things in the same light as we do who have ar. object lesson before us every day." A Wilson and Marshall club w as or ganized by Fremont democrats at the | close of an address at the court house by Congressman Dan Stephens. _ Wife Desertion. In company of a sheriff. Forrest Joy left Lincoln for Mount Pleasant. Ia., where he is charged with wife deser tion. Joy was located anti arrested at Fairbury. •'Education in Other Countries.” Hon. W. J. Bryan's topic of dis course when he speaks before the Ne braska Teachers' association in Oma ha November 7, will be "Education in Other Countries.” It will be his first speech following the national election, but he will not mention politics. School for the Deaf. To oppose the proposed purchase of land for the state school for the deaf in Omaha, D. O. Dwyer of Plattsmouth, trustee of the school, visited the board of public lands and buildings. That the school board should be self-sup porting or at least, partly so. Is the opinion of Mr. Dwyer, who is in favor of purchasing property in the country so that the students may be taught the methods of farming. By this means, Mr. Dwyer says, the school will be ! largely self-supporting. — Nebraskan to Have a Place. A Milwaukee dispatch says that ; Nebraska will have a notable place at < the coming international dairy show, , for the prize herd of Smith & Roberts | of Beatrice, Neb., will be given an im j portant position among the exhibits. ■ The Nebraska farm is considered one : of the leading Jersey establishments i in America, but its entries in the ex- 1 hibition will be placed in contrast 1 with the best there are in the country, including Ohio and particularly M&ssa- i chusetts dairymen's herds. - . i New Institution Incorporated.

Aa to Boarding Prisoners. In the district court here the demur rer of the state to the petition of j Sheriff F. J. McShane of Douglas county was sustained thus allowing the plaintiff 19 cents per day for board ing prisoners after conviction. This Is the same amount allowed for their board previous to conviction. In all of the counties of the state the sheriffs are allowed 50 cents a day for board ing prisoners after conviction. Sheriff McShane sought to bring his county on a par with the balance of the state and according to the 190? legislation CONVICTS IN FIGHT TWO OUTBREAKS IN WYOMING PENITENTIARY. ONEKILLED ANOTHER WOUNDED Prisoners Get Free, Flee to the Hills and There Engage in Desperate Fight witn Officers. Wawlins,4 Wyo.—A battle is raging in the state penitentiary. Gockea in side Rie walls with hundreds of mu tinous prisoners a few guards are fighting desperately to restore order and prevent a wholesale jail delivery. Camped outside the walls is a force of citizens, heavily armed, ready to drive back the convicts if they mur der 'he remaining guards and make a rush through the gates. Shouts and occasional shots tell the story of des perate fighting within the walls ar.d it is rumored that several guards and convicts have been killed. Another battle is in progress in the hills south of Rawlins, between a posse oi citizens and from twenty to forty escaped prisoners. Two men have been killed in the streets of Rawlins, one is desperately wounded and two convicts have been recaptur ed following the escape of from ten to thirty prisoners Saturday after noon. 1 he town is in a panic. Fran tic telegrams have been sent to Gover nor Carey, now at Sheridan, implor- I ing him to send troops to protect the j citizens. Townspeople are barricaded ) in their homes or. heavily armed, are J patrolling the streets guarding their own homes and the houses of those 1 engaged in the man hunt in the hills | or in tl.e vigil before the prison walls, i A mass meeting of terror stricki n citizens held at nightfall sent a tele gram to Governor Carey demanding j the protection of the state militia. The mutinous prisoners were sub- j dued Sunday night and locked in their cells. Early reports of the killing of , several men inside the penitentiary i have not been confirmed. At 11 o'clock Marshal Hayes re turned to Rawlins from the man hunt in the hills, bringing one cf the men escap’d whom he had shot and wounded. The man was placed in the prison hospital. Two of the. twenty i escaping Saturday were recaptured reducing the number of original fugi tives at liberty to nine. The men who escaped were led by Antoae Pazo. a life-term murderer, who a few months ago, in the prison dining room seized a knife and al most disemboweled a fellow prisoner, j Pazo stabbed a livery man after the escape and was shot and kilied by an officer. Until the prisoners are mustered 1 for breakfast Monday morning it is not believed the exact number who escaped will be known. The outbreak Sunday was the sec ond within twenty-four hours. About j 3 p. in. Saturday twenty prisoners es i caped and nine were recaptured be fore 8 o’clock. At 2:30 Sunday afier uoon a party of desperate life-terme-s overnowered the cell house keeper, took his keys and released their com rades from their ceils. Every prisoner willfng to risk a battle with the guards made a rush for the gates. Shot by His Son-in-Law. Council Bluffs.—Charles Birwith, for many years connected with the ho tel business in Council Bluffs, was shot and killed shortly before 5 o'clock Sunday night at the Tremont House, corner of Broadway and Ninth street. Council BlnfFs.

DANISH WOMAN IN NEW ROLE Daughter of Prime Minister Berntsen Has Had Herself Apprenticed to a Cabinet Maker. Copenhagen.—Every now and then Denmark sets class distinctions at Qaught and achieves, for an old world coutry, new records in democracy. Peasants become cabinet ministers nowadays without exciting much com ment, but there was something of a sensation when the daughter of Ole Hansen, then minister ef agriculture, went in for domestic service. She. however, has now been out done by Miss Annv Berntsen. daugh ter of the present prime minister, Mr. Klaus Berntsen, who has had her self apprenticed to a cabinet maker and is daily undertaking the ordinary work of a male apprentice. True, the cabinet maker is herself a woman. Miss Katrine Horsbol, who in her time served her apprenticeship in works where she had only male work men as companions. Since she began business for h'-'-elf she has developed / III f Miss Amy Berntsen. a strong trade connection, and her es tablishment now ranks among the best in Copenhagen. Premier Berntsen has proved an able leader of the government, his long experience in the lower house proving of the utmost value. His daughter is engaged to be married, but he fully approves of her developing her manual and mental capabilities to the greatest extent so that she may become as efficient a cabinet maker as he is a cabinet minister. MARBLE LIGHTS ARE BEST German Inventors Patent New System of Illumination That Is Like Day. Berlin.—Patents have just been taken out for using marble instead of glass in lamps, which has the effect of making the illumination scarcely dis tinguishable from daylight. Innumerable experiments have been made with tinted and patterned types of glass with the idea of producing this effect, but all have been failures. As a last resource a sheet of white marble was planed down until it wa3 semi-transparent and then different in tensities of light were shown from be hind. The result was exactly what so mafiy hundreds of experiments had failed to produce. Developing this discovery, the pat entees have fitted lights to the cornice of a room with such success that it is difficult to convince anyone that it is artificially lighted.
