Mr. lirown and Mr. WHllamSOB, of i

the field, and the company's maps
were used SlSO in showing the loca

with the engineers of the com-
pany.
When asked in repaid to the pot- j

explained them In detail. He dis
cussed the origin of potash, the
methods of prospecting, of pipe lin
lag, of production, etc. He was very j

lakes and the smaller 1 -kB which lie
immediately to the ea3t and south

sufficient potash resou-ce i here to
warrant the erection of a plant. He
said also that each of the many othor
lakeo held under lease by the com
pany should be prospected by wells
as soon as pc.slble, and that this
prospecting should show additional
potash, probably enough to insure
the erection of another plant.

This potash is absolutely necessary

Gates
It won't cost you a penny more to put up genuine CAN'T SAG pates on
your ranch or farm than to build the clumsy, short-lived all-wood gates you
have used for years. That's why tho farmers are putting up thousands of
these pates every year. They have found that here is the first practical farm
gate one that will really stand the hardest knocks, outlast the all-wood or
wire and gas-pipe gates three to one, and yet actually costs them no more than
the cheapest home-made gates they can build.
CAN'T-SAG gates are not only stronger and cheaper, but they are also
tlx1 finest looking gates you can own. They swing both ways easily, and are
guaranteed never to sag or drag.
PUT UP GUARANTEED CAN'T SAG GATES
Buy them complete or build them just as you prefer. We furnish the
pate steels which includes angle steeples, hinges, braces, lag screws every
thing including the lumber. We furnish them so that you can build them any
length or height.
The sample gate now on demonstration at our yard will show you just
how they ar made and how they look when hung. The price is low.

for economy nnd extent of gains when
used with oat straw as when fed with
clover buy. As such a ration la exten
sively used In various parts of the
United States Its practical value can
reBdily be seen. Straw and stover are
especially valuable for the wintering
of breeding herds of beef cattle, and
should form a large part of their feed.
Itations suliable for different classes
of beef cattle ure us follows:
Rations for Breeding Cows.
Ration 1:
8tr, to pounds.
811a : M pounds. ,
Cottomiod or 11ns "kiI meal,, 1 pound
Ration 2:
Straw. 20 pounds.
Cottonseed or oil cake, 2 pounds.
Ration .1:
Straw, 10 pounds.
Shock corn, 10 pounds.
Cottonseed mal or linseed meal, 1
pound.
Ration 4:
Stover, H." pounds
Cottonseed or linseed oil menl. 1
pound.
Rations for Feedinq 1,000-Pound Fat
tening Steers.
r.ifon l:
Straw, B pounds.
r;iaKe. IS pounds.

Sllaira, IS pounds.
Corn, 12 pounds.
Ration 4:
Straw, 6 pounds.
Stover, 18 pounds.
Corn, 6 pounds.
Cottonseed meal, S pounds.
In these rations various other feed
may be substituted. In the rations
given for wintering breeding cows defi
nite quantities of straw and stover
nre given. In actual feeding such fig
ures should be somewhat disregarded
nnd the cattle given as much roughage
ns Hwy will consume.
Yearlings mny be fed three-fourth
the ration for breeding cows and may
be expected to come through the win
ter In fair to good condition.
For fattening animals straw should
always be within reach so that the anl
nial may eat nt will. They will usually
eat from three to five pounds dally.

ATTENTION TO COLT'S FEET
Examine Them Carefully Whether on
Pasture or In Barn Keep Toea
Properly Trimmed.
Look frequently at the feet of the
colts, whetfier on the pasture or Id
the hum. and remedy things before
they get bad. Keep the toes trimmed
down to the proper length and do not
allow the heels to run over and get
rouml. If the feet are kept rounded
on the toe and of the proper length,
the tendency to split and crack will be
redueed to a minimum. In the stable
tbe feet should be frequently cleaned
