Last Friday, the second trip of th?
Kilo rampHlgn was taken in the coun
try surrounding HemlnKford. The
weather van Ane and all meeting
were well attended by the farmer.
The first day waa also One, but not
o well attended by the farmers. The
average attendance at the meeting
around Hemingford was thirty-Are,
and around Alliance forty.
The start was made from Henilng
ford with seven cars. The first
meeting was held at Joe Kelnian's
farm, southeaat of Hemingford,
where the pit silo Just Anished was
observed, and the building, cost and
methods discussed. Following this,
I'rof. Fransden gate a very Interest
ing discussion on silage. He forci
bly brought out the- point that a bal
anced ration Is as necessary wheu
feeding ensilage as with any other
feed. Afterward, Frcf. Fransden
gave a demonstration how to select
a ilalry cow.
The next meeting was held at the
farm of Barney Halbur. The crowd
was here treated to a 'surprise, as
Well as at Mr. Ueiman's. After the
lunch was served, Mr. Wood gave a
detailed talk on silo construction. He

from the standpoint of durability,
cost and satisfaction. The point
most strongly emphasized with the
pit silo was plastering the walls with
a rich mixture of cement, and with
the upright silo was properly anchor
ing the same. ' Bulletins were also
distributed here dealing with con
struction of silos, kinds of silos, and
devices for removing the ensilage.
In the afternoon, the first meeting
was held at the farm of K. E. Addy,
west of Hemingford. Prof. Frans
den, with a Ane example of a desira
ble dairy bull at this place, gave a
', talk on the selection of the berd
bull. He pointed out the fact that
with pure-bred stock, the bull Is one
half the herd, but that in raising the
standard of the grade herd, he Is
more than half. He also pointed
out the fact that men often made the
mistake of buying an untried animal,
and that very often the one of great
value to a neighbor was left to be
lost at the meat block. Mr. Addy
turn taiKen or nis pu suo, ana point
ed out how it had Increased bis re
turns. The bad effect of having a
alio too large In diameter for the size
of the herd was pointed out at this
place.
Next the well-improved and well
kept farm of Mr. Koblnson waa vis
ited. At this place a stave silo well
anchored was studied by those pres
ent. Mr. Adams, who Is on the farm,
gave an Interesting talk on what the
ailo had meant to that place and how
well both bis horses and cattle had
wintered on the ensilage. Many
questions were asked and answered.
The last meeting was at the pit si
lo In the farm of K. F. Abley. Mr.
Abley built his alio last summer, and
according to Mr. Uhrlstensen, In
eharge of the Hemingford Creamery,
his returns from the same cows last
winter were twice that of the prevl
ua winter.
This silo campaign was held at the
expense of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, the Nebraska College of
Agriculture, the Box Butte County
Farmers' Association, and the busi
ness men" of Alliance and Heming
ford who gave their time and cars
toward making this a success. It
was intended for the farmers. Many
Who needed the information most
were not reached. Now, Mr. Farm
er, how many of you felt the need of
more and better feed for your stock
last winter, the same as for many
Winters before? The testimony of
your neighbors having used silos
shows that the Btlo has a place, aud
will fill a great want In Box Butte
county.

fifth one noticed what happened and
help was called. It was about ten

BUSY GAME WARDEN
ii.m lVromt Arretted During It
Hirnnliim for Violating State
' . Flh aud tnie Iwn
(By special corresponded) '
Lincoln, Nebr., July 21 That
Gust Kutenbeck, Nebraska's chief
. game and fish commissioner, is a
"busy man Is attested by the follow
ing facts:
During the last bleiinlura the com
mission has caused the arrest of 238
persons charged with -violations of
the game; and Ash laws: 1T6 of
these were convicted and paid fines;
16 jail sentences Inflicted. The total
fines imposed and paid to the various
county treasurers amounted to II.-488.70-
The number of unlawful
fishing nets a '. traps confiscated
and destroyed during the past two
years were 822. Twenty-one seines
were destroyed during the year of
1913 by the different local and spec-
Ul a me wardens. A great many
lines having more than the leanl
number of hooka thereon have also
bfrn destroyed. In every case where
Ash were found In these traps thy
were released. During 113 over
2.800 pounds of flsh and three der
were confiscated and given to the
poor. Fourteen grouse, twelve prai
rie chickens, five ducks and 60 oth"
birds were confiscated and given to
stale institutions or poor people.
During 1914 several kind of ga inl
and about 700 pounds of Ash were
distributed among the different state
Institutions.
In the paflt week Mr. Rutenbeck
has brought two men to trial at Lin
coln who were charged with dyna
miting Ash In Salt Creek. One of
these men plead guilty to the charge
and was fined $100, the other being
bound over to the district court.
The collection of occupation taxes
of domestic and foreign corporations
doing business In Nebraska, which
are paid in to the office of secretary
of state, Charles W. Fool, during the
months of May and June, amounted
to a total of (35,177. As the do
mestic taxes become due July 1, and
the foreign, August 1, the above
amount was early in the coming. The
collections for July promise to be
larger than during any previous July
since the law went Into effect.
The issuing of motor licenses and
number tags from the department of
state during the past three months
has made that department a very
busy place , Indeed. Six to eight
clerks haves been actively engaged
and although many thousand auto
owners have already been supplied
the end Is not yet, and the work goes
merrily on.
E. A. Walrath of Osceola, the new
ly appointed deputy commissioner of
printing, look charge of his office the
first of this week, succeeding N. J.
Ludl of Wah'oo, who has lately ac
cepted the postmastershlp at his
home city. Mr. Walrath is most em
inently fitted for this new position.
Fred C. Ayers of Holbrook, owner
of the Holbrook Observer, has been
named by State Auditor Wm. H.
Smith to succeed Wm. B. Eastham
as deputy auditor. Mr. Ayers is
eminently qualified for the position
and will make a most worthy suc
cessor to Mr. Eastham, the. latter
having shown rare proficiency in
paring down claims. Mr. Eastham
will soon be Installed In his new pos
ition, being appointed the new in
surance commissioner for the state
of Nebraska, where he will shine
with efficiency.
Fhll F. Ackerman, the well known
deputy hotel commissioner, who has
been in poor health for some months,
has gone to Rochester. Minnesota,
with the hope of securing relief
through a surgical operation.
NOT AN EXPENSE
Silos Are JiiNt an Much an' Invest
ment ax a Team of Home or
Any Other Improvement
The silo trips last week are going
to do a world of good . for the farm
ers, and there is no doubt but that
next year will find Box Butte county
with twice as many as there are
now.
The farmer that uses business
methods in his agricultural work Is
the one who reaps the greatest bene
fit. When he buys a new cow, or a
bog, or a team of horses, he does not
consider It an expense he figures It
as an investment or he would not
spend money for such purposes. So
It Is with the silo, and the sooner the
farmer learns this, just that much
sooner will he commence to realize
the full benefit of his labor and the
satisfaction of having a fat bank-account.
If a farmer had 1250 that he
could put out at 15 per cent Interest,
would he grasp the opportunity! He
surely would. While the silo may not
In all cases bring back 15 per cent,
It will miss it only by a small mar
gin. And the one great feature la
that the silo Is permanent it's there
from year to year to bring large re
turns on the investment.
The farmer would call the money
paid out for a cow an investment-
good If she paid him a profit, bad If
she proved to be a "boarder". And
what is said of cows applies with
equal force to steers, young stock
and sheep. Ensilage and clover or
alfalfa, with a little ground feed,
make an Ideal ration for milk cows.
and that worry's gone.
Another reason why the silo riys

the stock to consume large quanli

HAVE YOU GOT THAT SEASON TICKET? IF NOT GET IT! AND LETS ALL BE READY TO START OFF RIGHT.
WE WANT EVERYBODY TO HAVE A SEASON TICKET BEFORE CHAUTAUQUA BEGINS. AND THAT MEXnS YOU.
AND IT MEANS THE FOLKS IN YOUR FAMILY. EACH ONE SHOULD OWN A SEASON TICKET. AND THEY'RE ONLY
$2.00. THINK OF THAT.
You probably .know by this time tbat we are going to have, a
Chautauqua here in a few days. At any rate, we have been say
ing a Rood deal about it in the newspaper and scores of adver
tising features we liave been flooding this citv and eommutiilv
with.' 1 ' .
This is our final word. The Chautauqua is about to begin.
It will be here and gone before we know it. We will not stop in
our efforts to sell season tiekets until the last minute. We are
allowed until noon on the opening day of the Chautauqua to
bring things to a close. We want to wind things up in grand
style. We will not be satisfied until we have counted YOU
among these season ticket holders.
Decide today to get in the band wagon and line up with the
Chautauqua. You say you'll buy your tickets at the gate. But
that's a cumbersome and an expensive way to attend a Chautau
qua. ' . ' . : '
It's the KKASON TICKKT that you want, because it has been
demonstrated that it is only the season ticket holders that count
in mensuring a Chautauqua's success, it's a SKAXON TICKET
that we want you to hve.
And one other point: It's FIRST AFTEHNOO.V that we
want you to begin going to the Chautauqua. Don't wait until
the last and then wish it could all be repeated for your benefit.
And if you have half the enthusiasm we believe you have, you'll
declare that this one day was worth the price of the entire season
ticket.
Remember the Season Tickets Are but $2.00
