Dairymen want the best and cheap
est feed for their COWS. If they raise
alfalfa they have the cheapest he
cause they can raise more tons to the
acre than they can from any grass. and
it is also the best because it will pro-
duce more milk than any grass.

pens. The amount of valuable fertil-
izer left by these sheep in the yards
may be imagined and il was offered tC
any farmer who woula maui it away.
Nobody wanted it. hut after awhile one
man was found who agreed to take 10C

all his neighbors rushed in and wanted
it also. Queer. was ii not?
The eastern wool buyers now oper,
ating in Wyoming are falling over
each other in their clawful efforts tc
get all the fleece in the country. The
schedule ranges from IL to 12R cents
which is about the run of last years
prices. 1t is to be regretted hat sc
many masters are forced to sell the
wool the day it is taken from the
sheep.
There is one way by which the man
ufacturers Of ol-eomargarlne a put
themselves right with the people and
that is to show the faith they profess
to have in the merits OF their product
by placing it right on the market as
oleo pure n simple. Then If they
can maintain the claim that II is just
as good and wholesome as COW butter
or even better. they need not fear The
result. They will then be in position
to he recognized as fair and honorable
competitors and If they a beat the
dairy COW no one can justly complain
