Since locating and opening offices

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

gerous to the patient from a stand

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

the part of Dr. McCoy should be ap
preciated by the residents of this lo

unable to supply the need, on ac

crowded much of the time.

SELLING HEIFERS FOR BEEF
System of Depletion of Breeding Stock
la Going on Continuously
Money for Feeder.
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

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

they are lost sight of In the scramble

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.

WARNS AGAINST STRIKE
President Hlpley of SnntA Fe Tells
Employee They Have Nothing
to Onln by a Walkout
Los Angeles, April 16 E. 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."

I Before the plan had been In opera

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

a return of $2.75 for each $1 worta

$3.59 and the poorest gave 65 cent

PROPER ATTENTION TO COWS

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-

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

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. The cow looks
for ber feed at a certain time and If
ahe la accustomed to being milked at
a certain time, she will do better It
that plan Is followed systematically.
Benefit of Silo.
The silo has proven Itself a great
benefit each year ;od It will do Just
a well In years to come. This season
ha been an object lesson In favor of
