ALFALFA VS. COTTONSEED CAKK
The addition of cold presold cot
onsed cake to a ration for cattle
of corn, corn silage, and alfalfa In
creased the cost of gain and lowered
the profit, according to an experi
ment Just completed by the Nebras
ka Agricultural Experiment Station.
This year'a data corroborate the er
idence of the experiments of other
Tears that alfalfa is the cheapest
source of protein to combine with
the corn plant In beef production. In
the recent experiment there were
ight lots of feeders. The rank of

All Europe, with 405
million people, has less
than three million tele
phones, or less than one
tenth the number per pop
ulation used in the United
States.
During the last
eight years Bell
telephone wires
have been erected
at the rate of two
miles a minute

In modern facilities,
quality of service, and
reasonableness of rates,
no telephone system in the

LOOK for the following points in the
manure spreader you buy: I. Cor
rect, efficient, well-tested design. 2. Guar
antee of first-class materials. 3. Reinforc
ing of parts where strains usually coma. 4. Strength
of parts where occasional strains comew 5. Wearing
qualities and protection of driving parts. 6. Repu
tation of manufacturer, insuring efficient repair
service. Satisfied American farmers find these essen
tials in International manure spreaders.
International spreaders have, besides, many feat
ores that grew out of long field experience. Study
the steel construction, ia frame, wheels, and driving
mechanism; the easily-removable beater; the differ
entials ia rear axles, insuring even spreading while
turning corners; the reversible worm and gear; low,
easily-loaded box; and many others.
International spreaders are of all. stylos and sizes,
trigb and low, endless and revere apron. Write for
illustrated catalogues, and when we send them wo
will tell you where you may see the spreaders.

TIMBER HERE
Colonel Hooper iTe Herald It
porter I.Ut of Army Tim
ber In Alliance
Colonel H. H. Hooper, who stated
that he was an army man and who
spent several days in Alliance the
first of the week, told a Herald re
porter that he had been looking over
the available recruits In Alliance,
and that this city is far ahead of the
ordinary town of S.000 when It came
to material for volunteers. Just
where the colonel secured his Inside
information he would not state.
"In case there should be a call
for valunteers you have plenty of
good men to fill out an entire regi
ment," said the colonel. "Such men
us the following would make model
soldiers. There are George Hand,
Bruce McDowell, Bill Tragessor,
Claude McDonald, Claude Vaughan,
Chas. Davenport, Geo. Snyder, Hor
ace Bogue, Jerry Rowan, Sam Tll
lett, Wm. Mosher, Glen Miller, Jim
Selffert, Tom Beat, George Gadsby,
Enoch Boyer, Frank Abzbegg, Fred
Haris, Reuben Knight, F. W. Haar-
garten, A. J. Kennedy, A. A. Ralls,
J. C. McCorkle, and hundreds of
other able bodied men who would
be only too willing to go and fight
Tor their flag."
"Yes, we have plenty of able bod
ted men," said Cecil Smith, abstract
edly, as he listened to the Interview
while he gazed at one of the won
derfully cute and attractive female
costumes walking down Box Hutte
avenue. "When It comes to gener
als we have plenty who would fill
the bill. Look at Walt Beach, Bill
Mounts. John Guthrie, Bill King and
Cy Lalng. Any one of them could
command a regiment or more."
"I have gone over the list pietty
well and made a large acquaintance
while here," said the colonel. "When
it comes to major generals there are
Geo. Fleming, Doug Rodgers, Cal
Cox, L. A. Berry, W. W.' Norton, J.
C. McCorkle, Ira Tash and Jim Kee
ler. For brigadier generals there
are Geo. Burke, V. M. Broome, H. F.
Thlele, John Mallery. C. A. Newber
ry und Marcus Frankle. I am a col
onel myself, won the title by my
bravery in the previous Mexican
war and I have seen many men who
would bring honor to that title. For
instance, Roy Beckwith. Philip No
he, Col. Coursey, Col. Jack Riordan,
John Snyder. Bud Betzold" and Link
LowTy.
"You have just carloads of f.ood
lieutenant colonel timber. There
are Herb Walters, W. M. Weidenha
mer, Dick Nelson, Mike Nolan. Hank
Rennau, Geo. Mollring, Harry High
land and Mort Grebe. When it
comes to majors you cannot beat the
vast amount of timber to select your
men from. Any one of the follow
ing would be good: Burt Lalng. Car
ter Calder, Bill Buchman, Billy Ham
ilton. Oliver - A. V. Oavln,
Al Brown and Frana Brennan. I'll
bet a dozen corn cob pipes that no
one could beat your Uncle Hank in
picking out captains. Iook here:
Jack Miller, Joe Westover, Frank
Wilson. John Wiker, Geo. Darling,
Monte HargraveB, Sang Reck, W. R.
Pate, A. S. Mote, Joe Andrews, P. E.
Romig and Gene Burton.
"For first lieutenant I would sug
gest Bil Scblupp, George Duncan,
Charley Tash. Ben Sallows, Frank
Was, Percy Cogswell. Leonard Pllk
ingtoo or Jay Emerlck. For second
lieutenant there are W. K. Harper,
Earl Mallery. Eugene Ford, Charley
Hill. Cecil Smith. Oscar O'Bannon,
Harry Dubuque, Simon Spry, Robert
Campbell or W. R. Drake.
"For chaplain I would use both
care and discretion. It seems to me
that John Graham, James Feagina,
Jake Bicknell, Spike Boyd. Bill Ru
mer, Noxie Herman or Billy Mitchell
would fill that place. For physician
I would suggest Doc Copeland, Doc
Curtis or Doc Lester. For orderly
sergeant I would place in nomina
1 fi
Col. II. II. !looer
Copsey, Ren Ande.son, Oeo. John
son. Ed Henry, Tom Lawier or Char
ley .leffers. For scout extraordinary
for duty In Mexico I would suggest
two rood shots, Dick Waters or
Chase Feastns.
"In the line for quartermaster
would roiue Edgar Martin, A. J. Ma
ry, John Drennan, Charlie Tully, F.
A. Hlvely, Hank Toohey, Fred Reh-
der or Ouy Lock wood. These men
would be capable of handling the
food and drink for an army of any
size.
"None of the grand old boys In
blue, who served their time so well
In the old days would have to go,
although they would all like to go
again. I have met many of them,
Including Al Wlker, Capt. 8. I Tut

If President Wilson ever makes the
call, those whom I have named and
many more, will come up for consid
eration. I leave for the south to
night and will soon be on the bor

as the colonel shook hands and pre
pared to leave, "did you know that
five hundred of the latest sewing ma

army at Vera Cruz?" "No," said
the ro'.unel, "what for?" "To hem

WESTERN FARMS
FOR EVERYBODY
Census of Farm Units on Irrigation
Projects of Government Was
Itacently Taken
A census of the farm units on the
several Irrigation projects of the
government was taken recently. It
showed that very satisfactory prog
ress is being made in securing set
tlers. Included in the 2G projects
are approximately 26,000 occupied
farms varying in size from S to 160
acres eacbm, and 454 units of 40 to
80 acres each stil open to entry.
These farms are located as fol
lows :
Idaho, Minidoka project C8; Mon
tana, Huntley project 42, Lower Yel
lowstone project 18, Sun River pro
Ject 4 5; Nebraska, North Platte pro
ject 23; South Dakota, Belle Four
che project 65; Wyoming Shoshone
project 203.
These vacant farms offer attract
ive opportunities for settlers with
some capital to establish homes. The
land is surrounded by well tilled
farms, the neighborhood is compact
and school and social organizations
are first class. The pioneering stage
on these projects is over and agricul
ture is pn a sound and practical bas
is. On all of the projects the trans
portation facilities are good and the
farms are well within reasonable dis
tance of towns and shipping stations.
The average man should have about
12500 In cash and equipment. While
many settlers undoubtedly have
started with less and are succeeding
experience has shown that success is
much more easily attained by those
who start with enough to quickly
prepare their lands for crops. To all
inquiries addressed to the Statistici
an or tne Reclamation Service at
Washington, D. C, the advice Is giv
en not to attempt to subdue a desert
farm without sufficient money to pro
vide for the needs of a family for
two years and for the preparation of
the land, erection of buildings and
purchase of live stock. The litera
ture of the government fully describ
es the farms now open to entry, cost
of water right and terms of payment.
Spring crop reports on all these pro
jcts are extremely encouraging and
indicate the best season since water
was made available for the lands
These 4 5 f farms are awaiting the
homeseekcrs who are looking for an
opportunity to establish independent
homes.

HOW CHILDREN GROW
Children frrow by nourishment not
overloaded Ktomachs or rich foods but
qualities th.it ure readily converted into
hfe-sust.uiiiiir blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary food which results
in weakness, dullness and sickness.
If your children are undcr-aize, under
weight, rati-li cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott's
Emulsion which ia pure medicinal nourish
ment. It sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flch, firm muscles and active
brains. Scott's is growing-food .or
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.
