SILO TO RESCUE
Cattlemen of State Say Fatten
Jug1 Stock Is Poor Business.
Costs More for Feed Than They
Get for Animals.
MANY CORN SUBSTITUTES TRIED
Molasses 50 Per Cent More Fat
tening, Experiments Show.
Silage and Cottonseed $13.54
Ter 100 Pounds Gain. '
Manhattan, March 20. Cattlemen
attending the annual convention of
the Kansas Live-stock Feeders' associ
ation at the state agricultural college
here today heard ample coroboration
of their general assertion that fatten
ing cattle is a losing proposition. An
important feature of the program was
jl report on the colleges experimental
work in feeding cattle, sheep and hogs.
This report stated:
'Even tho fed the most efficient
and practical rations, the steers lost
from $10 to $30 a head. These care
fully conducted tests demonstrate the
fact that the prevalent complaint of
losses from cattle feeding operations
have been based upon fact."
The silo has come to the rescue of
the livestock feeder in this age of high
priced grains. "The cheapest grains
in feeding cattle for market can be
secured only by the maximum utiliza
tion of siluge." the report said, "and
even then heavy losses will result, at
' present prices of cattle, labor and
other feeid necessary to balance the
ration."
Molasses Cheaper Than Corn.
Some results proven by the experi
ments follow:
.Molasses was found nn economical
substitute for corn, it being" cheaper
per ton than corn, and may be substf- !
tuted up to 6 or 8 pounds a day. As
a food, 100 pounds of molasses was I
equivalent to 150 pounds of corn.
Feeding baby beef is more profita
ble than feeding mature steers, be
cause he calf requires less for mainte
nance and grows while he fattens.
But it requires a longer period and
more grain to make the baby beef
weighing 800 to 1,000 pounds at 12
to 1 4 months of age than it does to
fatten mature steers.
In wintering calves, each 100
pounds made on silage and cottonseed
meal cost only $13.54.
Under similar conditions, pigs fed
on corn and tankage made faster
growth than those fed on barley and
tankage. Dry ground barley was
found superior to soaked ground bar
ley, which in turn gave greater gains
than soaked whole barley, but consid
ering the cost, more economical re
sults were obtained with barley in
stead of corn.
..Several small grains were fed to!
fcogs as substitute for corn. Shriveled
wheat is a good hog feed and often
can be fed with bigger returns than
when sold on the market. In four ex
periments, shrunken wheat in each
case made better results than equal
amounts of corn. Whole wheat and
tankage was found to be the most
profitable way to feed that cereal.

Grave of Famous Indian Chief Is
Hidden in Wheat Field Near Topeka
Marble Shaft ' Marks Abram
Burnett's Resting Place Once !
National Character Forgotten. I
Stone Bridges Older Than Mem
ory of Man Nearby Treasure
Seekers Dug Holes Around I
Chieftain's Cabin. I
Half hidden in the corner of a
wneat iieia on tne trann j-jeim iarm, ,
six miles southwest of Topeka, is a j
white marble shaft twelve feet high.
Beneath it rests the bones of Abram
Burnett, once chief of the Pottawato
mie Indians.
Thrown loosely around this monu
ment are several smaller markers that
once disclosed the resting places of
several other members of the Potta
watomie tribe. The original burial
plot, thirty feet square, has yielded to
the encroachments of the plow and
the surrounding wheat field.
Forgotten Even by "Old Timers.
Lost in the mists of half a century,
the grave of Abram Burnett has prob
ably faded from the minds of even
the "old timers" in Topeka. Most of
the present generation never heard of
it. The monument is half a mile from
j the nearest road and quite concealed
from the traveler who passes along
the highway. The burial plot is situ
ated two miles west of Burnett's
mound.
John Wilson, wlioe wife originally
owned the land now occupied by Helm,
deeded the burial plot to Mary Bur
nett, widow of the famous chieftain.
in t870. at the time of Burnett's!
death. After her marriage to Charles!
Buzbee, Mrs. Burnett Bold the tract j
of land on which the Burnett cabin
stood, three-quarters of a mile west
of the mound.
Bridges Older Than Memory.
Two other features of interest in
the vicinity of Burnett's mound are j
trie etone Driagf s nunt inoie man
fifty years ogo by the Pottawatomie
Indians across the Shunganunga creek.
No one appears to remember just
when they were constructed, or who
directed the work. Indian labor, it is
conceded, laid the stones in their
places.
The bridge shown in the accom
panying picture is the one on the east
and west road that runs along the
north base of the mound. Jt is lo
cated near the former site of the Bur
nett cabin. The other structure is a j
half mile north of the mound on the
. v, V. marl tViat ontora Sc!i.-
brook.
Indian Vn tr-u n. Tnnmie Twister.
Chief Burnett was the eon of Kaw-kee-me.
He was born in Michigan in j
1811. Hi Indian name was Kah-he- j
ca-wa-ti-an-erah. His family lived '
near Lake Michigan and were persons
of importance in the Pottawatomie
tribe. He was educated in the mis
sion schools of Fort Wayne, Ind.. and
Carey, Mich. In the Chicago treaty
of Ann-list 29. 1S21. reservations were
given John, James. Abram, Rebecca
and TCaaev. all children of Kaw-kee-
me. In several later treaties between
the government and the Pottawato
mie, Abram Burnett's name is found
as one of the signers.
The Pottawatomies Trere at last re
moved to the Sugar creek lands in
southeaatern Kansas and by the treaty
of 1846 these lands were exenangeu
for some along the Kaw river. A
tradrnsr cost for the Indians was estab
lished by the government at Union-
town, about fourteen miles west oi
Topeka, and placed under command
of Col. Thomas X. Stinson.
Burnett and his family came up
from the Sugar creek lands in March,
1848, and settled along the Shunga
nunga. The old cabin, which was torn
down several years ago, stood three
quarters of a mile west of the mound.
In one end was a cupboard in which,
it is claimed. Abram kept his stock
I of "firewater." Whenever he was en
gaged in a cattle traae ne xook i
prospective buyer Into the house and
"set him up."
Treasure Hunters Got Busy.
The Indian chief was supposed to
have been wealthy and to have buried
his money after the manner of his
people. About the time the cabin was
torn down great holes were dug in that
vicinity by enthusiastic treasure hunt
ers. The fortune, however, was never
found.
Buried in the same plot with Burnett
were a minor grandson whose name is
unknown; Mattie Knoffloch; an Indian
named Lykins, buried in a sitting posi
tion in a grave walled with stone: Pru
dence Lykins Wilson, and Notch!, or
Mrs. Joe Burke. It is believed that the
Indian buried in the sitting posture
was Johrt Lykins. wl.o settled on the
land in 1847 and died in 1859. His
widow. Prudence, later married John
Wilson.
Foiled Souvenir Seekers.
The maiden name of Burnett's wife
was Mary Knoffloch. a German
woman whom he married in Indiana
in 1842. She kept his death a secret
for several days until she had time to
hide his guns, saddles, bridles and
other possessions, for it was the cus
tom of the Indians to come- in and
take away something that belonged to
the deceased as a souvenir. Mrs.
Hurnett is buried at Sacred Heart,
uHia.
Chief AVeljrhcd 430 Pounds.
Chief Burnett weighed 450 pounds.
It is reiated that, when he became ex
cessively drunk, it took seven men to
lift him into his wagon, until someone
devised a chute by which he could be
rolled uphill like a barrel.
The only real social event In the
chief's life, so a story goes, he spoiled
himself. He had invited several men
from Topeka to attend a party at his
cabin southwest of town. When they
arrived he had drunk up most of the
whisky he had purchased for them,
and being in a "playful" frame of
mind, greeted his visitors with a fusil
lade of chairs and other household f
rurniture. They dtd not tarry to en
joy his hospitality.
COMMUNISTS INVADE ENGUXD.

London, March 20. Steps are being
I taken in Great Britain to form a
communist party affiliated ' with the
third internationals, the aim being to

It is hoped to form the party from

San Francisco, March 2 0. Maxine
Dempsey, a wisp of a woman the
government's chief weapon in its at
tempt to brand Jack Dempsey as a
slacker has seen her love for Jack
turn to hatred, she said today.
Prior to the arraignment of Jack
Dempsey and Jack K earns, his man
ager, on a charge of conspiring to
evade the draft Maxine. at her hotel
here, told the story of a woman
scorned. She is anxious for the time
to come when she can appear against
the world's heavyweight champion,
her ex-husband.
Maxine had not decided whether she
would attend federal court today when
Dempsey and K earns are arraigned.
She is not sure the government wants
her to appear in public at this time.
Strange to say, a token from Demp
sey was the match that set fire to
Maxine' s hatred.
She Is Piano Player.
Maxine had been playing a piano
Jenipsey.
in Wells, Nev., a freight division point
of 200 inhabitants, while Jack was
posing for the camera in Los Angeles
before the admiring gaze of movie
queens.
'Those who criticise me for telling
the truth about Jack should picture
me sitting in the town of Wells, neg
lected while Jack got easy money and
fame," she said. "I had assisted Jack
while he,was a 'ham and egg fighter.
He lived off my money. Then, when
he was about to whip Willard he di
vorced me.
"Did I get automobiles and pretty
clothes.t No, I was playing a piano for
the amusement of freight handlers and
miners."
Maxine said she did nothing until
the American Legion posts all over
the. country began to attack Jack's
war record.

about a week after the, American Le
gion got busy X got a package from
Los Angeles.
What" do you suppose was in that
package? It was Jack's photograph
He sent "with love.' Jack was afraid
I would testify against him and he
thought he could Vin me back to him
that easy.
I sat down and wrote a letter tft
a newspaper saying I had the goods
on Jack and that he was a slacker.
That started things. Jack tried to t
'phone me. Men began to arrive in
Wells to see me. I wouldn't 'phone
Jack and the men had no luck."
Life as the wife a fighter has it
drawbacks. Maxine said. She testified
to Jack's fighting spirit and said that
for days before a fight he was sullen
and savage.
She Has Blckcd Jack F.ye.
She explained "he had once blacked
Jack's eye herself.
"It wai after he had a bad fight
with Willie Meehan. Meehan had cut
his eye open. Jack and I were Quar
relling. He pushed me. I struck at
that lad eye. but missed it and hit
the other. Oh. what an eye I gave
him!" She paid Jack Kearns the trib
ute of being the only man who could
handle Dempsey and imparted a "hot
tip" to Georges Carpentier. It was
"get Jack in the fourth or fifth round.
Those are his bad ones especially the
fourth."
Dempsey. she paid, goes strong at
first but has a bad back which weak
ens in the fourth.
He Relies On Dope.
"When they get him filled up with
strychnine and past those rounds he
is a bad man to beat." she said.
''I know all about the Flynn fight
at Murray, Utah, February 13, 1917,"
she said. "For days before the fight
Jack practiced flopping before a right
to the jaw. He told me after the fight
that when Flynn hit him It was so
light he nearly forgot to lie down."
Pemppoy divorced Maxine February
1, 1919. They had been married about
four years. Dempsey won the world's
championship five months and four
days after that.
Maxine did not hear from him again
directly until after the American Leg
ion attacked his war record, she said.
