HIGH FLOOD WATERS ARE NOW COMING IN
ALFALFA MAKES THE
BEST feed FOR
STOCK

Books and bulletins on alfalfa are
issued by State and Government De-
partment of Agriculture which every
prospective irrigator should read.
hey are free. lhe Nepraska Expert
ment Station made an exhaustive feed
ing test in its effort to find supst-
tute for corn. Alfalfa heads the list.
Mixed with corn it has proved the best
beef producer with yearling steers.
Shelled corn and alfalfa produced
one-half pound greater gain per day
than did shelled corn and prairie hay.
1t took II pounds of shelled corn and
prairie hay to make one pound gain,
While IL: q shelled corn and alfalfa
'ecured the same gain. The cost of
90 pounds gain with shelled corn and
prairie hay was IS. AZ, while with
'helled corn and alfalfa it was SO. o4.
he profit per head with prairie hay
was 3S cents, with alfalfa it was So. 90.
In the tests with two year-old steers
there was loss of S1.I3 per head on
corn and prairie hay, while with the
corn and alfalfa there was profit of
So SO. This was on a twenty.four
weeks, test from January to July.
With twelve weeks, midwinter test
there was a loss of 8 cents a head by
the former ration and profit Of s.. Sc
by the latter.
The average for three years showed
loss of 27 cents with prairis hay and
a profit of IS o2 with alfalfa. AS
basis of calculation the prairie hay
and alfalfa were figured at SO a ton,
corn at IS cents bushel the first year
80 cents the second and IS the third
When fed as in these experiments
alfalfa returns values ranging from
$40. SO to SIS 10 a ton, as compared
with prairie hay at So
Herein will be seen the reason for
feeding alfalfa on the farm and sell
ing the highly finished product.

Crest of Flood Reaches
Mill City

Many Lovelockers believe the sit
uation is not at all serious. They are
of the opinion that the food waters
will all be carried through in tn e
river channel to the lake below
Others look for great damage to be
done in the inrmdation of the agri-
cultural lands of the valley. The
main concern centers in the Pitt
mill Dam about four miles above
town. And the Irish American.
Should the floods break out of the
ch lnnel here, they will be given a
free sweep of the country and it would
not be improbable that the water
would come into town.
w. G. Pitt of the dam stated to a
Tribune reporter that they were pre-
pared for six feet of higher water,
and the dam would take care oil this
great head without trouble. A spec
ial from Wlnnemucca states that the
water there has fallen several inches
but that it is still flowing over the
approaches to the county bridge,
which is still in danger.

DEATH OF NOl1iD ACTOR

AT Helena. Montana, last Saturday

James. the eminent actor, at the age
of 68 years.
Deceased was about the last of the
old school of American tragedians. hav'
ing been contemporary of Booth
Barrett, McCulloch, Keene, Sheridan
and other lesser lights.
The death of Mr.. James brings forci'
blv to mind the fact that at present
there are few if any. great American
tragedians. none having developed
during the past quarter of century
There is no doubt but what the coun.
trv contains as much histrionic talent
as ever. but in this age of commercial
ism men have found it more profitable
to engage in other callings that bring
surer and quicker financial returns.

An amusing act not down on the

A. jain weighed his thoroughbred
Cooley pup, Bob. For some strange
doggish reason Bob was very suspici-
ous of the scales, and refused, for a
long time to place his handsome per
son thereon. A bystander suggested
that perhaps his refusal to go upon
the scales was because he could not
determine whether they we're the
buying or selling scales. However,
after much lnducement, with great
gravity of manner, the dog was
weighed, and found that these scales
like the scales of justice, balanced
evenly. The dog weighed just fifty
pounds.

Home TRADING NEEDS
NEITHER ADVOCATE
NOR DEFENSE

When you, Mr.. townsman, or far.
mer, send away heavy remittance
to catalogue house, in the purchase
of the common necessities of life,
such as are carried by the local stores,
you should not forget:
No mail order house ever built
the school houses in this valley, or
helped to pay the school teachers
salaries. No mail order house ever
took you by the hand when you were
in distress, and told you to let that
little account go until after harvest
next year. NO mail order hous,
ever sold you a wagon and spenl
every cent of its profit right in thu
community where you and you,
neighbors could get it all back aga n.
No mail order house ever showed It's
patent leather shoes under your table
and rejoiced with you when you were
glad. nor spoke encouraging words
of affection, nor stood with uncov
cred head beside the graves when
your children died.
No. The mail order house is after
money. Every dollar it gets its hands
on will be jerked out of Lovelock
forever. The mail order house may
bear upon its face the semblance OF
friendship, but no human heart beats
under its cloak Of hypocrisy. Senti
ment TO it is unknown. The whole
, institution is as cold and bloodless as
corpse, All the mail order houses
IN Chrlstendom would not increase
the value of your farm one cent
hey are parasites to whom life is
only possible as long as they can suck
the blood out of the communities,
to the unbuildlng of which they con-
tribute nothing They create no To-
cal market for the products you have
for sale. They have no property in
our county which can be assessed to
help bear your burden OF taxation.
Your local dealer needs neither ad-
vocat or defense. His methods rest
upon principles that have been built
up in this country system Of m
ternal commerce which is the marvel
and admiration Of the world. His
business is Degtti| ,te because its sue.

There is so much difference be-
! tween buying goods at a home place
of business and ordering them by
mail from a catalogue house from a
mere picture or description, that we
want to point out to you a lew facts
that you may have never thought OF.
Here you go into store and make
your wants known, the salesman
shows you the desired article, and II
necessary helps select or suggests to
you the article best suited to you
Right there you have chance to ex
anime the quality, to see the style
to select the size and color, as the
case may be; you can compare the
different qualities, etc, and then, l
all is satisfactory, and in your Judg
ment the price right, you will make
the purchase. When you get home
and upon a rigid examination you
find flaw or crack in your purchase
or maybe it is too large or too small
or a blue instead of black, then thu
next day or week after you go tt
