Br .McCoy Bays that his business has Brown to an extent of surpassing ev a his greatest hopes. At the present time hospital facil ities for Alliance are inadequate and ia response to the good will of the aeople of Alliance and surrounding country, the doctor has gone to the labor and expense of establishing a first-class institution in order to pro Tide for the demand for more ade ejoate hospital requirements. The institution will open soon, with two wards, an operating room, aad a sterilizing room, and will be located on the same floor with the lector's offices and residence in the Reddish block. The plan of the hos pital Is expansive in nature, so that if conditions warrant, the institution can easily be made to accommodate twenty-eight to thirty patients. Two private rooms will soon be added to the present equipment. Tue doctor contemplates taking over the whole second floor of the building in which he is now located. The hos pital will be directly under the sup ervision of the donor him.-elf, assis. ed by a graduate nurse, of exp-Mi-eace and computerize. A clinical laboratory will he established, n.ak iag it possible for patrons to undergo thorough and complete examina tions; with the aided advantage of acientitic microscopic and chemical aaalysis. This is a feature that is at in vogue anywhere in this part of the state and the doctor's training at Rush Medical College of the Uni versity of Chicago has prepared him far this work. The sterilizing room of the new nistitution will contain the modern eteam pressure apparatus, which is absolutely necessary In the prenaia tlan of instruments, dressings, and all appliances that are used in oper ative surgery. Ordinary boiling or team for this purpose without th added precaution of steam pressure ia not only Inadequate but very dan gerous to the patient from a stand paint of infection. A decided added adrantage to 'lie hospital ia that the doctor will be hi" wn hospital physician living as h" dees right in the institution, will keep him constantly in touch with his cases, so that In emergency he will be immediately available. This should add a feeling of security to the patrons. The institution even tho small to begin with will be operated on strict ly modern first-class principles, and the service will be just as good as any hospital can possibly offer. The importance and advantages of havinr sach a place in Alliance will prove valuable not only to injured persons bat be an asset to the city and all the o) A fo) ALLIANCE, territory round about. This effort on the part of Dr. McCoy should be ap preciated by the residents of this lo cality, as the local hospital is often unable to supply the need, on ac count of the fact that they are over crowded much of the time.

Notwithstanding the general scarcity of cattle In the country, which ts con ceded by every cattleman of Intelli gence, there continue to appear In all the stockyards dally Journals reports of carloads of extra fine yearling heifers that brought the top price for the day, etc., says Twentieth Century Farmer. Of course, these reports art true. It Is an absolute fact that car loads of the very beat heifer calves have been bought, fattened for the baby beef market and shipped back and sold to the packers for slaughter. This system of depletion of the breeding stock of the country la going on continuously In the face of what might be termed a cattle famine. When will It stop? Not until these Good Dairy Foundation. heifer calves will bring more for breeding demands than they do now, or will bring as feeders. As long as the feeder can afford to buy this class of cattle and make his feeding venture profitable, or more profitable than by using other kinds of cattle, he will keep right on buying a;d feeding these choice heifers, calves and year lings. There may be a little sentiment In this business with some people, but there are so few of this kind of per sons in the beef-making Industry that they are lost sight of In the scramble for gain of the almighty dollar. PROPERLY BALANCED RATIONS j Report of Results of Testa Mad by Illinois Station Digestible Nutrients Saved. By H. R. Ft .1 NT. Minnesota Fxperimont 1 A balanced ration is "one In which each of the different food materials or nutrients Is present In Just the right, proportion and amount to meet the needs of the snlmals." says Bulletin 159 of the Illinois agricultural experl- ment station. Tests Indicated thC cows fed balanced rations yielded a pound of butter fat for each 1? pounds , of total nutrients consumed, while 21 pounds were consumed to a pound of butter fat when an unbalanced ra tion was fed. The use of the balanced ration thus saved four pounds of dl gestlble nutrients for each pound of butter fat produced, or a pound and a quarter of butter fat wa produced by the same number of pound of digesti ble nutrient in balanced ration a vaa required for a pound of butter fat when the unbalanced ration waa fed. Not only was the hotter fat more economically produced, but the cow given a balanced ration finished the test with better appetites and In much better flesh and general physical con dition than the other. It I not spe cially difficult to gain the profit re sulting from the balanced ration. Supplemental Cow Feed. For green feed to supplement the pasture during the latter part of summer and early fall, one acre for 15 head of rows hould be planted. Have one large field, and drill the corn the long way of field. lie sure to have the ground finely pulvertr.ed and relied: the field can then be nulckly planted and early cultivation given. Com I the best crop to grow for green feed for the silo, or to cur for winter feed Building a Silo. It I not economical to build one for la than eight or tea cow Those expecting to build should correspond with the college of agriculture of their tat to secure plans, hill of the ma terial required and any other Infor mation that they may desire.

P. Rip ley, president of tho Atchison, Tope- ka and Santa Fe railway, now at San ta Barbara, Calif., wrote a letter of advice and explanation today to be sent from here to the 15,000 or more employes on the system affected by the demands of the four railroad brotherhoods for a basic eight-hour day recently presented to the rail road of the United States. He dis cussed the possibility of "passing one or two dividends" If the demands were enforced and cautioned the men against action which might jeopard ize their positions, "but will not help the men." "The men who pull the throttle or feed the fire or ride the freight trains or wield the conductor' punch," Mr. Ripley said, "are no more necessary to the operation of the railroad than those who care for the track or build the bridges or the engines, or those who work the pen in the various sta tions or offices. All may, by their efforts, contribute to the amount to be divided, but no amount of quar reling as to the terms of the division will make that amount larger. If everybody will work for greater earnings, he may be sure he will get his share but he cannot permanent ly increase that share by grabbing for it. "A strike will cost the company a great deal of money perhaps neces sitate the passing of one or two divi dends, working much hardship on many Innocent people but it will not help the men and, after the loss of wages and standing, other men will take their places and the work go on. Is the game worth the can dle? "The officers of this company are charged with a three-fold duty to the public, to the owners, to the em ployes and they are doing the best they can to deal squarely with all three. They are hampered by vari ous laws supposed to be in the pub lic Interest; they have yielded (some times, perhaps, unwisely) to the de mands of organized labor. They have done their best. They cannot con sistently grant the present demand." and retain their self-respect or th confidence of their stockholders."

A resident of this vicinity shows you how. Eugene K. Fisher, Chadron. Nebr.. says: "For twenty years kidney trou ble kept me in misery, being rause-1 by heavy lifting. My back was ex tremely painful, especially when I Btooped or lifted and in the niornine when I got up. I was lame and sore. I often had headaches and dizzy spells and I was always languid and tired. At night I had to get up to pass the kidney secretions and this weakness convinced me that some thing was wrong with my kidneys.

If a farmer feeds a cow $1 wort), of feed and the give back 65 cent worth of milk no. this 1 not fiction, and the man was not a fool who fed the cow. He thought she wa hi faithful friend, and all the time ah waa ruthlessly short-changing him. She 1 not the only on. It Just hap pens that she got found out. May bo you have a cow In your herd thai tklms the milk before she give It to you. j Twenty-six Dickinson county farm er organised a row-testing associa tion last year, with the help of tho Kansas Agricultural college. They hired a man to do the testing. Ho worked at (he home of each man ooo day every month. The coat to tho farmer wa about $1.60 for each cow ; for the year. Thera ware 879 cow ' entered. I Before the plan had been In opera i Uon vary long some of tha farmers began to sell cow. They would havo been deliberately robbing themselves If they had not sold after they found out how poor certain of tha animate were. At the and of the year tha associa tion had complete records for 134 of the cow. These 131 cows averaged a return of $2.75 for each $1 worta of feed consumed. The beat ona gara $3.59 and the poorest gave 65 cent for each $1 In feed. The five poorest averaged a profit of $7.30 each, and the fir beat cows averaged a profit of $101.31 each, for the year. Whllo the man with tha poorest animal loat $11.65, the man with the best gained $145.31. The average profit on tha whole bunch waa $63.31 a head. PROPER ATTENTION TO COWS Kind nee Is Good Thing to Observe) Around Dairy From Standpoint of Dollar and Cant. Some oows ought to be milked three! times a day. Their baga get so pressed wltb milk that they cause a great deal of pain. And then the milk will be better If drawn before It has stayed o long .In the overheated udder. Some, men think that they nirt keep the cow always In fear of them or there will be trouble. That la a poor way to do. The cow that la si- A Fin Family Cow. i ways afraid that somebody will yell at her or hit her a whack with the milking stool is not In a position to do her best. She will not give as much milk and It will not be aa good milk, either. Kindness Is a good thing from the standpoint of dollars and cent. The earth Is dry enough now to permit of letting the calves out every day. Put them under cover nights. You ought to hrve a place where the calves can always get out of the sua and the dew and rain If they want to. ATTENTION GIVEN TO COWS Astonishing How Many Dairyman Are Keeping Bovine Instead of Ani mal Keeping Them. The man who Is making money la dairying la the man who thinks It la astonishing how many men are keep ing cows Instead of cows keeping tbem, because the men do not think. A thinking man will not keep cow that do not pay a profit on the feed they consume There I no way to determine the value of the Individual cows except by keeping an account of the cost of feed and the value of the products of each cow. This method often leads to Increas ing the profit by more judlclou feeding and more efficient mllklrg. or In other words it requires giving each cow Individual attention. I Rome dairymen may think that thi work require too much time, but after trying It out they are usually surprised to find how little time ft really takee to keep an accurate rec ord of the business. Every daJrymaa should be a business man. i Regularity I Important. Regularity In milking and feeding ft aa Important thing in connection with successful dairying.
