RED SAUNDERS
By Henry Wallace Phillips
The story of that celebrated cow puncher, some time
miner and later peaceful citizen most charmingly told.
Illustrated by Berneker.
You have had glimpses of Red Saunders in the
magazines from time to time and have doubtless split
your sides laughing at his funny adventures.
In this we follow Red Saunders through some
hair-raising adventures with Indians, jolly experiences
on the ranch and his lucky hit in placer mining until
he turned up one morning in his native New England
village with his pockets full of money, greatly to the
surprise of his cousin Mattie living alone in the old
home.
You can bet your last dollar there was something
doing every minute after Reddy struck that village
not painting it red either, for our cow punching hero
had the elements of true manhood in him.
We leave you, gentle reader, to find out how it all
ended. It will prove a most delightful quest, for while
the story is interesting to the point pf enthrallment it
possesses also the rare quality of humor. It will be

FINISHING CATTLE.
What Every Feeder Wanta ' to Know
, About Methods.
Two methods of finishing beef cattle
which stand out most prominently are
those known aa stall feeding and grac
ing. In one instance tbe cattle are
placed on feed In tba early autumn and
pushed vigorously until ready for mar
ket In the other case they are fed a
little more than maintenance ration,
the Idea being to carry them through
the winter aa cheaply aa possible and
finish them on grass the next summer.
This method finds favor In all sections
where grazing is abundant, while stall
feeding must be resorted to in those
localltlea where grass la difficult to
obtain.
The relative merits of these two sys
tems of finishing cattle, la a matter
of grave economic Importance at the
present time. The stall feeding of cat
tle can only be successful from a finan
cial standpoint when the animals are
bandied on a minimum grain ration
and fed some form of roughness that
will be highly palatable and act as a
satisfactory substitute for grass.
8tall Feeding Versus Grazing.
At the Virginia experiment station
atall fed cattle were given silage, hay
and atover, with different forms of
corn combined with cottonseed meal,
tbe object being to determine the af
fect of a succulent ration on tbe fat
tening process snd tbe best form In
which to feed corn with, cottonseed
meal. Grazed cattle were fed on dif
ferent forms of roughness, soma of a
succulent and some of a nonsaccolent
nature, for the purpose of comparing
the residual effects of these foods
where animals are finished on grass.
It haa been thought by many that cat
tle fed 'on a succulent ration and
grazed would not do well, a belief
which is not borne out by the experi
ence of the past year. The : experi
ments in this instance were so planned
that a comparison of the coat of feed
ing cattle in tbe atall and on grass
could be made, and the deductions Jos
tilled by the experiments cannot fall
to bo of special value to all who are
interested In the production of beef.
Soma of them are as follows; .
Results of Experiment. '7
It appears that cattle can be handled
advantageously as stockers and finish
ed on grass on a margin of 25 cents
where silage or stover or other inex
pensive forms of roughness are rased
during the winter. Mixed hay proved
so expensive that there was a loss with
It on a margin of 60 cents.
Tbe cost of a pound of gram with tba
staU fed cattle varied from 7.88 to 901
cents; with the stocker cattle from
4.12 or 6.64 cents. It cost, therefor,
nearly twice aa much to make a pound
of gain on the stall aa where tba ani
mals were finished on grass. . '
Tba cost of maintaining a stocker
through the winter varied from 97.M
with tba atover fed group to 16L2
with tbe hay fed group. The average
for all groups was 810.01. ,
The cost of finishing a feeder varied
from 822.83 to 825,82. or mora than
twice aa much aa it cost to carry over
a stocker. The difference in food cost
Is largely offset, however, by rent of
land.
Tba deductions to be drawn from the
experiments with feeders sre ss fol
lows: Feed a small grain ration, not
over two pounds per bead per day to
commence with, and Increase It grad
ually until tbe cattle are ultimately
consuming fifteen pounds per bead par
day. A liberal ration of silage should
be fed tbrmigboat tba tost, decreasing
tba amount consumed toward the close
of tba feeding period. Only a mini
mum amount, not over two to font
pounds, of stover or other dry inex
pensive forms of roughness need be
fed. . V
16 would sppesr that silage may con-
atltuts tba chief source of roughness
for stockers; that a grain ration ot two
pounds per bead par day is sufficient to
insure their making substantial and
profitable gains during the winter; that
the best results will bo obtained whan
the ration consists of equal parts of
corn and cob meal and cottonseed meal
or some other food rich In protein.
' ' ' Troublee of Young Pigs. '
Among the early disordera of small
pigs Is thumps, that trouble that at
waya take the prettiest and bast and
the one w fancy for tbe show ring.
This trouble can bettor be avoided
than treatment when one acquired.
I have tried a nomber of so called
remedies, but there is not one of them
that I would' recommend. Continual
watchfulness Is what count her. Ev
ery pig that shows a tendency to got
to fst should be mad to oxarcisa,
and if this cannot be don sufficiently
it should be removed from the sow
and kept away at least a part of sack
day. Treated la this way they wBJ be

done the danger win be past.

Notional Capital Notes.
Now that the worst ol the finan
cial panic is past, the banks appear
to be doing just what they have been
blaming their depositors for doing,
namely, accumulating gold and
keeping it out of circulation by
locking it up. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the Treas
ury Department and it may result
in measures being taken to force (he
banks to make cash payments under
penalty of having their deposits of
Povernment money withdrawn.
The whole trouble in the financial
world has been a lack of confidence
coupled with a lack of coin. Bus
iness has grown far beyond the pos
sibility of the cash in hand going
round. The result hus been that
checks, drafts, and securities of ono
sort and another have been substi
tuted for actual cash. This was all
right when they were backed by
actual values in crops, manufactures,
or manufacturing plants. The trou
ble came when some bank depositors
got frightened and demanded im
mediate and actual money payments.
Then it was found that many banks,
while perfectly solvent, did not have
coin enough for their immediate
use. Aa soon as confidence was re
stored And tbe runs checked, every
one got along quite as well with pa
per credit as they would hare with
actual gold. The Government came
to the rescue with about $25,000,
000.00 of extra deposits in National
Banks and urged the banks to in
crease their note circulation to the
legal limit. Gold has been import
ed and the supply of money thus
augmented. But the Treasury is
informed that the banks have gone
to the other extreme and are look
ing op in their vault? all the money
they can get hold of, and, foroing
their customers to do business with
credit checks and similar fiat cur
rency that may be deposited in their
banks but not drawn against for
actual cash. The Comptroller of
the Currency hs advised the with
drawal of Government Funds from
banks that are thus unfairly hoard
ing gold, the chances are that this
threat will be enough to make the
banks loosen up.
The Treasury itself has taken. a
step of questionable expediency in
refusing to make public any more
national bank failures. This has
always been a m titer of legitimate
information and such failures were
posted daily in theTreaiury De J
partment for tbe benefit of news
paper correspondents and others
interested. ; Information as to such
failures was freely given out. It is
claimed, however, that the publica
tion of such news lends to destroy
publio confidence, so this avenue of
information has been closed. Of
course the failures cannot be con-1
coaled and it merely mns putting
tbe newspaper correspondents to
some inconvenience snd getting t J
information from unofficial imtead
of official sources. Such conceal
ment is not at all in line with Amer
ican policy and is calculate i do
more barm than good.
- There was an accident in tbe De
partment of -Agriculture this weak
the effect of which will be felt by
many of the farmers of the country.
The seed distributing warehooseof
tba Department whence the seeds
were distributed each year was burn
ed and almost the entire stock on
band was destroyed. Tbe actual
lost amouot to about $100,000, bnt
tbe practical lost will be much great
er. Of course there were many com
mon varieties of seeds and there baa
been long and heated discoaejoo as
to whether any good was done by
the distribution of socb seed through
tbe member of Congrr. But
leaving this distribution out of the
question there were many other va
rieties of seeds, the lose of which
will be keenly felt. Tbe Depart
ment baa been working for years on
plant breeding much after tbe man
norof breeding farm animala There
have been valuable strains of corn,
wheat, and other cereals produced
that were In coarse of distribution
to special experimeatare and that
i tending lo largely increase
these particular crops. Tbe D
partment also bad produced very
valoabM strains of long eUpl up
land cotton. There were many for
eign sdadroorbUrcaisting varieties
of alfalfa, and tbe Eke nil of which
were being put to excellent ose. It
ig not bolkved that any of the
train war completely wiped out
but the work was giveo a sorr
cboc ; by tb fire, and ilwlllUks
sots time to get it Into thorough
working order again.
An interesting report baa been
inroed by tb Navy Department
showing (hat the United States now
stands second among the Naval Pow
ers of the world in actual tonnage
of warships. Its nearest co cpetitor
is France, and the leader of the list
is Great Britian. A year ago France
was a little ahead of the United
States, but at present the tonnage
of American warships is 611,619 and
that of France 609,079. France
will be ahead of us again in anothe
year for her building program con
templates the completion of war
ships amounting to 836,112 tons,
while at the same period the United
States will have only 771,758 tons.
Tbis does not include transports,
colliers and repair ships, or convert
ible merchantmen under 1,000 tons,
but does include torpedo boats, sub
marines and destroyers. . Ureal
Britain on. the other hand has
the, present enormous tonoag) of
1,633,116. This is owing to ber
traditional policy of the ''two pow
er standard". This means simply
that she insist on keeping her na
val strength up to that of her two
nearest competitors. At present it
will be seen that it is considerably
in advance. Great Britian intends
to keep it so and no matter what
building programs other countries
may adopt she will always insist on
laying down two ships for one.
For the first time in the history
of the country West Point is finding
difficulty in keeping up its cadet
crop to tbe maximum strength.
This was announced in a report just
made by tbe superintendent of tbe
Academy to the War Department.
There are now 72 vacancies in the
corps. , During the past jear several
of the cadets hsve resigned to accept
positions in civil life. There has
been even a larger reliremen' of
officers from the active list for the
same -reason. This, coming with
the difficulty in recruiting the en
listed atrsnglh, makes the outlook
for tbe army not at all encouraging.
