The average American
is open-minded.
American business is con
ducted by true Americans of
vision, open-minded men who
believe in their country and strive
to meet their country's needs.
The men in the packing industry
are no exception to the rule.
The business of Swift &
Company has grown as the na
tion has progressed. Its affairs
have been conducted honorably,
efficiently, and economically, re
ducing the margin between the
cost of live stock and the selling
price of dressed meat, until today
the profit is only a fraction of a
cent a pound too small to have
any noticeable effect on prices.
The packing industry is a big,
vital industry one of the most
important in the country. Do
you understand it ?
Swift & Company presents
facts in the advertisements that
appear in this paper. They are
addressed to every open-minded
person in the country.

.MAXWI'1,1, AXI) WILKINS AM) 311'
(Dedicated to George Cain, Sheriff.)
Sheriff George Cain tells how he,
Dr. Maxwell and County Clerk Geo.
Wilkins, of Dakota County won the
war.
Who was it built up this Army
That has set the vhole world Free,
Who inducted them nto the service?
It was Maxwell and Wilkins and Me.
Wo sent them down to Camp Funston
Where they drilled for over sea,
And we sent them some Humdingers,
Did Maxwell and Wilkins and Me.
It is right to cheer for tho fighters,
And blow all the whistles in glee;
But not a one would have fired a gun,
But for Maxwell and Wilkins and Me.
When the Country rewards its heroes,
There's one thing I'd like to see
A triple monument buildcd high
For Maxwell and Wilkins and Me.
Alfalfa Still l'rolitalilc I Veil
In reply to inquiries as to wheth
er an attempt should lie made to
fatten cattle without alfalfa, on ac
count of its scarcity and high price,
tho Animal Ilusbandary Department
of the University of Nebraska says
alfalfa, even at 30 a ton, is still a
comparatively cheap form of rough
ness, and it will pay to feed it, at
least in limited quantities. Fat
tening cattle do not need alfalfa for
all their roughness, however, as an
experiment performed at the Neb
raska Station showed. Cattle fed
corn with half of their roughness
alfalfa and the other half well cured
cornfodder without ears made al
most as groat gains as cattle receiv
ing corn, and alfalfa for all their
roughness.

after tho Chicago show, ono brought
$23.33, one S21, and ono $20 a hun
dred pounds. They wero entered
in the carcass class at the show.
During tho time the steers were

College of Agriculture.
