Feed Your Screenings.

How many farmers stop to con-
slider how much feed they are rails
ing and hauling to market for
which they get absolutely nothing
in return? We have learned that
pigeon grass seed has a feed value
equal to corn if used properly and
yet farmers give it away after hav-
ing paid the threshing bill on it;
not only on the grass seed but on
wild buckwheat and other seeds
which are 'staken off" as dirt" at
the mills or elevators and cleaned
out and sold to sheep feeders, thus
giving the non-producer what the
farmer should have saved
Between $500 and 1000 sheep in
this city are being fattened on
such feed purchased from mills
and elevators at about $3.50 tc
$500 per ton. This feed the farm.
er should have feed at home. We
are all glad to know that the focks
we're fed to the farmers profit.
