Official Paper of Dakota County Soldiers' Letters From Howard Rockwell. Kt. MacArthur, San Pedro, Cal. June 28, 1917. Dear Mother and Father: I ar rived here yesterday without acci dent. Like it fine here and in re gard to climate this beats them all. We came through Los Angeles and was surprised to see as large a city a? it has grown to be. It has nearly G00, 000 population and some dandy buildings. The fort is located about 28 miles from Los Angeles right by San Ped ro. You know San Pedro is where Scott was for quite a while. San Pedro has about 155,000, but belongs to the city of Los Angeles. This fort isn't completed yet but thev have in some cruns anyway. A few of them shoot 24 miles and the rest shoot about 18 miles. The biggest ones are 57 feet long and of the disappearing type and is sure some gun. Every thing is nice here and I think it would be nice to stay here after they get things fixed up. I think I will be back in southern California after the war is over. Bo sure and address all letters to Fort MacArthur, San Pedro, Cal. How is every thing at home. I hope you are all feeling fine. Best regards to all and tell the rest of the boys there that I may see them in France. Best wishes and write soon. Your son, Howard Iftckwell. From Chester Antrim. FtWinfield Scott, Cal., June 30, '17 Dear Sister Alta: Received your letter and was glad to hear from you. That was a fine picture of George and Buster, and 1 was glad to get it, but I didn't see any of the rest of you. Why didn't you send some of you all. I got a letter from Frankie For rest this morning and it was a pice one, too. 1 like to hear from little boys like Frank and George because they say such comical things. Say, 1 played the dickens with myself the other day while we were standing in ranks. I had been sick for two or three days and 1 fainted and fell right on my face and cut a large gash in my chin and darn near bit the end of my tongue ofT. Ican't talk plain yet, and haven't eaten any thing much since. We have a ball team now, and have played one game, which ended in a tie 4 to 4. We play the same team again Sunday. Tell all the folks hello for us. Your brother, Chester Antrim. Boy Scout Notes The scouts left for camp at Crys tal lake Monday morning.

(National Crap Iropruvrintut Brrtlcr A fnrinor who has devoted his life time to the Btudy of feeding generally has more success through his common sense methods than any scientific analysis can supply. If such a feeder could have on hand all of the In gredients (most by-products of cereal manufacture), which according to the market at the time would be moro economical, he could, through his ex perience, be very successful In mix ing his feeds. But the difficulty with the average man is to mulntaln un economical ration from the products of his own farm. He may be un expert, If be chooses to study out a new ration every time the market changes, bjit he generally prefers to let someotK who makes a business of mixing feeds do It for him. No doubt the majority of users of mixed feeds begin to buy It because of a shortage of forage and grain crops on tho farm. If such a man will keep books he will find that as a usual thing the use of mixed stock feed Is a mere mat ter of arithmetic whether he could buy the Ingredients cheaper than be could buy them In a so-called "bal anced" ration. MUST TASTE GOOD. (Nations! Crop Improvement Hmlre 1 A dairy ration must, of all things, be palatable so that a cow will eat it. It must be bulky and coarse so as to avoid Indigestion and sickness. It must contain a variety of foods so that the cow will not tire of It or get off her feed. It must contdn enough real protein all protein is not alike. It must contain the right nmo .t and kinds of mineral substances nec essary to life, health and milk secre tion. It must be highly digestible Many feeds are only about fifty to sixty per cent digestible and the work of excreting so much waste matter is costly in that it uses up the energy of the food to do it.

It is most significant and probably the best argument for mixed feeds when it Is considered that a large number of tho most prominent and skilled men In America have dis carded their own mixed feeds and rations because they have found a satisfactory brand of feed which will make as much milk at less cost and no trouble and, abovo all, keeps cows in perfect health. Many agricultural schools and ex periment stations uso and have used them for the same reason. You can verify this by writing to any experiment station and they will give you tho names of mixed brands which are best adapted to your purpose. ONE FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON POUND OF GRAIN. National Crop Improvement Service. C. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon sin, a progressive and practical dairy man, was not satisfied with his ration of home-grown feed. Although ho mixed his ration 'with brains and It seemed to bo -theoretically correct, ho thought he would try-out his own mixture in comparison with a first class dairy -feed. Much to his surprise ho found that he could save about live lbs. of grain per cow per day and nearly 5 cents per cow. He figured his own grain at prices much below the wholesale market and bought his mixed iced, .at .retail. Also when his ration was figured ac cording to Armsby or Energy method his mixed feed proved to' be the right combination to make a balanced ration with his own farm roughage. SALEM. Lola and Warren Heikes left last Friday for a couple of weeks' visit at Minneapolis with their sister, Mrs. Chas. Kate.

Phil Brsdenbaugh is at Excelssor Springs, Mo., taking treatment for rheumatism. EXPENSIVE PASTURE. (.National Crop Imprevettent Service. When you stop to consider that an acre of pasture will feed a cow, but that that same acre will raise ten tons of sllago during tbo time tho cow la feeding on it, it -would seem that a grass cafeteria would be the most ex pensive way to feed your stock. MORE FEED, MORE MILK. National Crop Improvement Service, Cowa of a decided dairy typo will return the greatest profit when fed to ihelr full capacity. Nebraska Ex periment Station. National Crop Improvement Service 1 Ordinarily, silage will correct tho tendency to costiveness. When it Is not sufficiently effective for this pur pose, add enough old process oil meal to keep the droppings moderately soft, but not necessarily looso. Usu ally all that is needed is to increaso the allowance of concentrates. For Sale at a Bargain The Mrs. Mary Walsh farm l$ mile north of Willis, Nebr., 6 miles west of Jackson, to close estate. Mrs. W. H Markley, Administratrix. Hartington, Nebr. There aro always two sides to every question. It the government insists on more bran in flour, bossy will have lo turn to still moro artificial bran. Wheat bran Is a dear feed, Barloy and ryo by-products aro more economical. Poverty holds a mortgage on the feeder who can see nothing but the price. Some feeds aro as cheap at ?50 as other at $25 per ton. When you buy hay for cows it us ually costs more than grain by-products, although It costs half as much per ton. National Crop Improvement Service It is a fair assumption that any farmer who talks against mixed feeds does not know whut a mixed feed ought to be. There is no danger of any man buying a fraudulent feed. Tho state laws are very stringent on this point and if any man has any doubt as to the value of a feed, all he has to do Is to write his State Experiment Station and get tho truth.
