Market shifts cut wheat middlings price versus bran in dairy rations
Prof W H Strowd of the Wisconsin State Department of Agriculture notes middlings now quote 192.00 to 4.00 less per ton than bran while offering higher feeding value. Dairymen are advised to substitute middlings for bran in dairy rations to save costs, though habits keep bran purchases high even when middlings are cheaper.

Bayfield County Bank in this city has installed a new device on its vault doors to stop yeggs from breaking in by using electricity or gas torches. President D. M. Maxcy and company officials say the mechanism will trigger an auxiliary set of tumblers if a torch is used, preserving the vault without destroying the main tumblers. If an attempted opening occurs, the door remains locked and would require removal to access the vault.
