HAD A DELIGHTFUL TRIP
Well Known Ranchman and Wife
and Daughter Return from Jour
ney thru West and South
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Clough and
daughter, Elsie, returned last Satur
day from a delightful, six-weeks trip
thru the west and south. Upon leav
ing Alliance about the middle of aJn-
uary, they went first to Denver,
where they attended the National
Western Live Stock Show, which
they enjoyed very much, In common
with the thousanda of other people
who were there.
After taking In the stock show at
Denver, they went to Boulder, where
the Colorado State University Is lo
cated, for a visit with relatives. This
is one of the most beautifully situat
ed of Colorado's many fine cities. Of
course their stay here and visit with
relatives was pleasant.
Leaving Colorado, they went to
Wichita, Kansas, and from there to
Kansas City, for visits with friends.
The next city to be visited was Mem
phis, Tennessee, where relatives re
side. On the way there, they saw
some of the effects of the flood that
recently swept the south. They saw
Borne villages where part of the
houses had been destroyed, the water
standing in some of them up to the
tops of the doors. One place they
saw men in boats repairing telegraph
UneB, the railroad track having been
constructed temporarily on ground
fifteen feet higher than the road bed.
Turning homeward they stopped at
Hot Springs, the winter and health
resort of Arkansas. Here they were
surprised to find bo few people from
the west, most of the visitors being
from the east and south. At the ho
tels it was common for the guests to
ask others where they were rfom, or
as the question was usually put,
"Whar you-all from?" Once upon
being asked where she was from,
Miss Clough asked her questioner
how he knew she was from anywhere
else. His reply was that he knew
she was from the north, as he had
observed that she moved too quickly
to be from the south.

SILAGE MAKES A BIG SAYING
Among Other Advantages Succulent
Feed Is Available Whole Year
Keeps Up Milk Flow.
A dosen of the more common ad
vantages of silage are: Succulent
feed is available the whole year, ihe
digestive system of the live stock is
kept in good condition during the
winter months and the animals look
like grass-fed stock. Silage produces
cheaper and better beef or mutton, in
creases the milk flow about ten per
cent Corn stored as silage eliminates
the 30 to 75 per cent loss of feeding
value of stalks left standing in thi
field, or the 25 per cent loss when let
in the shock. All parts of the plat
are made palatable.
More feeding value is concentrate!
In less space than with any othei
coarse teod. Silage is benetlcial foi
growing animals. It produces bon
and meat and creates apputUe.
Silaso keeps up the milk flow whei
pastures are short and flies bad ant
during the winter months. The feed
ration is cheapened and made more
palatable by the use of silage. Silage
can be cut and stored regardless of
weather conditions. More live rtock
can be kept on the farm where the
silo Is found, hence bigger protits and
more fertile soil.
Silage is the most conveniently han
dled of all coarse feeds. The savins
of the corn crop over the old method
of handling corn, coupled with In
creased profits by using it In the ra
tion, will pay for a silo in one year.
PUMPING WATER MADE EASY

DAIRY COWS DURING WINTEP
Winter Milk Will Bring Farmer Abou.
One-Third More Per Quart Than
During Summer Season.
The production of mtlk is now quit
a different proposition from what it
was in summer. Winter milk will gen
erally bring the farmer about one
third more per quart than In summer.
To offset this, it costs a lot more to
produce it. Winter milk can be pro
duced at a profit where the producer
is as far away as 200 miles from mar
ket, but to do it the producer cannot
go at It In a haphazard, slipshod way.
He must thoroughly Inform himself
as to the actual cost of milk. He must
keep a correct account of each item
expended. There must be charged
against the cow the amount of hay,
silage, roots and feed she consumes, at
the fair market value. Each cow
should be credited with the amount of
milk she produces, at market prices,
and then feed and care for the cows,
so ai to have the balance on the right
side of the ledger.
PREPARE CORN FOR PLANTING
Uniformity In 8hape and Size of Ker
nets Necessary for Accurate Work
of the Planter.
It la best to shell seed corn by
tand. The tip and butt grains should
be discarded, since uniformity In
shape and size of the kernels la nec
essary for accurate work of the
planter.
To still further Increase the effi
ciency of the planter, It la well to se
lect ears that are uniform la else and
shape of kerneL
The planter should be adjusted to
each grade or size of kernels to In
sure an even stand In the field, since
this Is one of the most Important fac
tors in the production of a large yield.
