Dear Sirs: Yours of March % at hand.
Would have made a reply sooner, but have

HIGHLY ENDORSES PRUSSIAN STOCK

I am thoroughly convinced of the merits
of Prussian Stock Food. I will make a state
ment of the results I got by actual scale
weights. I have 53 stock hogs. They
weighed 3,136 pounds, or an average of SO
1-6 pounds EACH I fed these shoats Fl
bushels of ear corn per week, getting
gain of lat pounds per week. n account Of
my hogs having a bad cough I placed them
on Prussian Stock Food. The first week
they gained 1852 pounds the second week
they gained 358 pounds; the third week they
gained 372 pounds, ana I did not increase
their feed. All the hogs are we'll of their
cough and I consider them the finest l ever

want the county commissioners to con-

should not be carried on. 1t would
prevent the annual overflow, so much
dreaded by the jewellers along the

A. G. Trude, the director of the
office of experiment stations of the
United States, has been in Italy, in
vestigating the practices of that coun-
try in irrigation. Special attention was
paid to the valley Of the Pc,
where horticulture in that coun-
try has reached it's highest de-
velopment He found that irrigated
land in that section could not be Sc
cured for less than 500 per acre,
some of the farms near Milan were
held at $4,000 per acre, and water
rights cost as high as $3.50 per acre.
This is far in excess of prices which
prevail in CALIFORNIA; most favored
citrus districts. The surprising part
of the report is the statement that the
most valuable crop on the most valu-
able land along the Pc is "marcite,"
a meadow grass used principally as
food for dairy cows. This grass has
to be overfowed, and in that section
the water keeps the grass green
throughout the winter. The highest
profit per acre, however, is given at
5000 per acre, which is below the out
put of some of our California orange
groves, while the cost of irrigation
here is much less.-Col. Fruit Grower.

More money has been spent and
more blood has been spilled to sup
press the love of liberty in the hui
man heart than for all other purposes
com bined. What are we doing with
the Filipinos today and what is to be
done with those libratadors of Pan
anna?
The complaint about this sugar beet
business used to be predicated on lack
of experience. This tenet, however,
will scarcely hold good now for with
years of accumulated experience the
woes of the growers are multiplying
and the highway is strewn with the
wreckage of busted ambition.
The farms of this country are worth
more to the people than all the mines
and minerals combined. We cannot
eat nor clothe our bodies with the
output of the mines. The products OF
the farms feed and clothe not only
our own people, but to large extent
those of other countries and also en-
rich spectators of every grade.
AS an evidence of good faith and
pronounced prosperity the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is perma-
nently laying off 1000 of it's 10000
employees to effect a saving of $5,000,-

not reduce the price of it's machinery
to farmers in corresponding degree
we of the west will feel cheerfully
obliged to the trust for the favor. Why
should not the farmers of America get
the benefit of all this economy?
