We Are Wishing a!i our friends and patrons a most Merry Christmas, and that prosperity may be yours through out the coming years. Carl Fricke CHRISTMAS is a day when the friendships of the past and present pass in review, y- As each memory of a face, an act, or word comes to us, more deeply do .we feel the spirit of that day and prize the friendships with which our days have been brightened. The spirit of "Peace on Earth, Good Will to All Mankind" is deeply felt; and, it is in that spirit that we wish you a most cordial GREETING! Cedar GrGok lumber Company, Cedar Creek, Nebraska Forage Extension Mills of This City Has Developed Meal that is Unusually Enriching. j The Forage Extension mills of this city have placed on the market an unusually rich alfalfa meal that as a milk producer in cattle has not as yet had an equal and those who have tried the meal as a food for the cov-s and stock find it one of the best that has ever been offered. In feeding this stock fond there is a great deal in the way that is pre pared for the consumption of the cattle and in order that the public can more fully understand this the company has distributed from their mill here a complete pamphlet on feeding information and among the suggestions offered is the following: We recommend that in all case when feeding straight Alfalfa Meal that at least 25 per cent of moisture be added. If straight water be used, a small per cent of salt is beneficial. Why do we recommend this? Bo cause Alfalfa Meal is a dehydratc-ti product cf high concentrated food value. It has lost at least 90 per cent cf its original water content. It is just as important to add this lo.t water to Alfalfa Meal as it is to dried fruits or vegetables, which in either case restores the original suc culency and allays dust. Dairymen and others feeding Alfal fa Meal of our manufacture will se- cure maximum feeding results by using the shoveling board or clean floor on which the feed may be sprinkled with water. To the water j 50 per cent of black strap molasses : may be added, all of which makes a! palatable food; or instead of mo lasses 25 to 50 per cent cracked corn i or other small per cent of grains may be added to raise the carbohy drate value; bearing in mind how ever, that it is the elements in the alfalfa that stimulates the milk flow. Thirty pounds of this mixture makes a good daily feed for an average cow. We believe that Alfalfa Meal of our manufacture is a better feed than bran, which it is intended to replace. Milling practically doubles the value of roughage. An animal may take four hours to masticate 30 pounds of hay. which if ground would scarcely fill a bucket, and which the animal would eat In 10 minutes, thus conserving all energy for milk and fat production, which she cannot do if compelled to con vert her teeth into an alfalfa mill. We shall also take into considera tion the waste involved in feeding rough stuff, which loss Is frequently more than 50 per cent. From Wednesnay'g Dally. The heme of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Crabill was the scene of a very pleasant gathering on Monday eve ring in honor cf the eleventh birth day anniversary of Miss Alice, the little daughter cf Mr. and Mrs. Cra bill. The home was arranged with the bright and attractive decorations of the Christmas season, which made a pleading touch to the scene. There were some forty-seven little folks in attendance and they thoroughly en tered into the spirit of the occasion and all had a most wonderful time during the entire evening. The oc casion was brought to the climax when Santa Claus entered the home, bearing a treat for each one of the little folks and with the Christmas tree occupying the place of honor on the dining tables the scene was truly one of happiness and joy. In honor of the occasion Miss Alic received a number of very attractive gifts. At a suitable hour Mrs. Crabill assisted by Mesdames L. L. and J. E. Wiles and Miss Margaret Wiles, served dainty and tempting refreshments that brought the happy event to a close. Blank Books at the Journal Office W. C. T. U. MEETS KVom Wednesday's Tally.
