tho other a few miles cast of Sidney,
the latter being the worst of tho two.

That freight trafllc is heavy and is
increasing is evidenced by the move

For tho twenty-four hours ending at

than tho average twenty-four hour

Don't Spend $3.50 When Fifty Cents Will do the.Work
Pro. W. M. Hayes, Ass't. Secty. of Agriculture of the United Statei says about Stock Foodi
"These balanced rations are often found by analyiis to consist of the tailings of mills, elevators and
breweries, nilxcil with molasses and salt, to make the compound palatable to the cattle, and one of
the largest Stock Food Companies is said to use fine sawdust, finely ground, to cheaply bring up the
weight of his product, Instead of buying a superior and expensive balanced ration containing high
fattening qualities and acting as a tonic, he has paid a high price for a feed containing, along with
ordinary grain, finely ground alfalfa hay and other common food studs, $5.00 to $25.00 per ton, a high
percentage of refuse, and non-nutritious matter, some of which may be positively dangerous to
the health of his stock." ' '
