A FEW OvERsIGHTs
The TwO-Bhts Sentinel Ovcrlooks
. Few Things Worth Men
tiOniuQ

The young man from the back
districts of Egypt, who came to La
mar some months ago by the way
of the Chicago stock yards dis
westerners how I'VE bond buyers do
things in the city," has broken
loose again in the Two-Bitts Sem
tinel. As he was unable to get
Lamarites to accept him as his own
estimate he has had 1t In for the
town and has been for some time
wasting what he thinks Is wit in
attacks on Lamar and its people.
Lamar has incurred the enmity of
others of just such calibre in the
past; and he like the others when
he gets It worked out of his sys-
tenn, will find TO his surprise that
the town has gone on growing with
out paying any attention to him.
His recent spasm, az we except
the school boy alliterative style
which even the kids abandoned a
dozen years ago). is much more
noticeable for the things II doesn't
mention than for those 1t does. He
says the few smart people In La
mar refused to contribute to the
railroad fund but Investigated Mt.
Umsted's character and showed him
up. He doesn't mention. however.
that the result has proved It would
have cost them less than $1,000 to
do business with Umsted. and while
they were looking him up an en-
ployee whom they didn't look up
got into them for more than double
that amount. There are some peo-
pie 80 smart that they seem much
more capable OF attending to other
peoples business than they do their
own.
The Two-Bitts man very truthful
" says that Lamar is headquarters
for some ditch enterprises that
don't furnish water. Lamar is
the acknowledged greatest irriga-
ton center in the west and 1t
would be strange indeed II some
of the unsafe ones did not take ad-
vantage of It's reputation to do
business here. For instance the
Sentinel man can look out of his
front door at the tortuous wind
tngs of one of these dry bitches
glaring under the fierce rays of
the desert sun, and It's banks fill
ing with the drifting sands from
would-be farms that were plowed VI
on the positive guarantee that wat
er would be furnished on May 18TH
of this year. These men now
know that they won't get 1t on
May IS, 1911. and have many
doubts II they ever will. But can
these victims get SO cents on the
dollar back of their losses. Not on
your tintype.
And speaking of the remaining
seven cents on the dollar. 1t was
the best investment our people ever
made. Last January Just before
the railroad proposition came up
many Lamar people still had faith
in the Two-Bitts promises and
were expecting to invest heavily In
town lots, but the railroad stopped
that, and now they are glad. as the
seven cent assessment has saved
them ten times that amount. which
would have been tied up In worth
less lots. Verify Lamar has much
to be thankful for. and not the
least u that our knockers now

|ROFITABLE DAIRYING
By HUGH G.. VAN PELT
Dairy Expert Iowa State Dairy Association
Experience Is Invaluable

Unless the dairyman has had consid-
cradle experience in breeding, feeding
and caring for dairy cows. it Is not ad-
vfsable for him to scarf In heavily
with expensive. pure-bred animals. Ex,
perience teaches that a great many
who have been desirous of building up
excellent herds of pure-bred dairy cat
tie have spent fortunes In securing
them, only to be disappointed. due to
the fact that they have not given them
the proper care and attention that
animals OF such improved nature de-
mand. On the other hand. there have
been those who have started in with a
small number of pure-bred animals
who have made great success, and
have In mind at this time one breeder
who Is perhaps one of the most popu-
lar breeders of dairy cattle in the
United States, who boasts of the fact
that he never bought but one COW. This
was great many years ago. He
writes me that he sold in one sale
80 head of cows. calves, etc., which
brought him over $4,000. and since
that time he has sold six head of

WORDS OF MASTER OF SATIRE

in Answer to Invitation of
Frenchmen.

Robins Partisan friends gave him
luncheon in recognition of his pro-
motion to the rank of grand cross of
the Legion of Honor. G. B. Shaw,
whom the French papers cali merely
an English humorist, declined an In
vitation to attend. saying he himself
was already assured of immortality.
as the encyclopedias will henceforth
catalogue him: SHAW, subject of a
bust by Rodin; otherwise unknown"
Shaw concludes: ITO entertain
Rodin seems to me to be rather pre-
sumptuous. 1t is as if Adam, after the
seven days of creation, had offered
snuffbox to the Almighty with the re-
mark: My congratulations! It's quite
nicely done Personally do not dare,
but trust Rodin will forgive you. He
already has much to forgive his coun-
try, so he must be accustomed to 1t

Keep the Boy and Girl on the Farm.
One of the chief problems of the
farmer today is how to keep his sons
on the farm and interested in the busi-
ness. l know of no way more ad-
visable than to give him a well-bred
dairy heifer or cow and allow him to

will be very surprising to note that If

milk at each milking period and by
testing a days yield once a month to
determine the percentage of butter
fat. it Is very simple matter for the
farmer to know at the end of the year
how much milk and butter-fat each Of
his cows have produced. During the
years gone by, 1t has been common
policy for the farmer to sell his good
cows and In many instances keep
those cows on his farm which were
actually not paying for the feed they
consumed. He did not do this because
it was his desire to do so. but he was
not aware that there was so much diff
ference between the different indi-
viduals in his herd. Today the wise
farmer and breeder has had it proven
to him that the above method is the
only one by which he can accurately
determine the true producing value of
his cows. In the future the farmer
who is paying close attention to his
business and deriving from 1t the
greatest of profits will weigh and test
the milk produced by each of his cows.
and those animals which are sold as

surplus Of the herd will be the in
ferior animals rather than the good
Ones
Thus, by continually breeding bet
ter animals and saving the best that
are produced, it is only course of a
short time until the dairy herd will be
one Of the greatest sources of profit
on the farm. One of the great objec-
tions to dairy farming in the west at
this time as well as one of the reasons
why the dairy herds in this country do
not produce more largely than they do
is because the arrangement of the
farm is not convenient for the bust
ness. We are now undergoing the
transition period between grain and
stock farming to stock farming and
dairying, and more or less time will be
consumed in rearranging the farms
and equipment to make them suitable
for dairying.
Better Barns.
In the first place, it is necessary to
have better barns for dairy cattle than
are customarily used for beef cattle.
The dairy COW is confined to the barn
for large portion of the year and
