SOME COMMENTS
THAT We APPLY

The following comments have been
made by farmers either in person or
by mail relative to our article in
The Dawn of last week on the cost
of Hiyh Living-pshaw Not that,
but the High Cost of Living.
Il can approve of ever word you
say. From January |, 1912 to jan
uary |, 1913, ! kept strict account
of every purchase and on COMPARE
son | find that | paid out $500 for
goods done up in grocery bags and
fancy boxes that | could have easily
produced on my ranch and | shall
not be guilty of doing that thing the
second time"
Its a bold piece of presumption on
the part of The Dawn"
"That's the kind of stuff us farm
ers need and | hope the Grange Will
take the matter up and discuss 1t
more in detail"
THE Dawn deserves much credit.
That article struck me as all OK"
"Thanks, friend Turner give us
another whack. it will do us good"
Your article was full of food for
thought and reflection"

truthful. tactful and to the po INT"
Its none of your business how us
farmers live. If you'd attend to
your own business you'd be more sue

Thanks. We think we've done re-
markably well since our advent IN
to Ellensburg % years ago lastMarch.
We came here with nothing and have
by hard work and lots of it, mana ged
to hold our own and keep out OF the

"Just as you say, the farmer should
be selling hams and bacon, etc, IN
stead of buying such things at the
grocery store and paying from ~ to

right track now Go to 'em, and
hammer 'em hard"
"More truth than poetry-words OF
wisdom-that ought to be appreciated
by every farmer reader"

Perhaps ninety per cent of the people in the
United States are we'll aware of the fact
that Montgomery, Ward & Co Sears, Roe
buck Co., are in business, but how long
do you suppose they would remain in bust
ness if the ceased to advertise? Not long.
| dare say. They say that should they
cut out advertising, their business would die
in less than year. Judcious advertising
according to the best authority-is an in
vestment and not an expense. We know of
little town of less than 1, 500 population
with two newspapers, so miles from Ellens-
burg and in a much more limited territory,
and for weeks one those paper, a 6-column
qunrto, equal to o36 column inches, has
been running 647 inches or more of display
advertising-more than all the papers in FL
lensburg combined if not in the county,.
and at price of $50. 90 per week or $500.
90 per month, and competition is not fierce
in that town either, but the business men are
laval to the press and Shears & Sawbuck
find mighty slim picking in that community.
Our readers can help us to make advertis
ing in The Dawn profitable by patronizing
such houses as advertise in it.

Senator Owens to Banker

Senator Robert l.. Owens of
Oklahoma, jerked a kink out of
the Vice President of the Ma
tional City bank of New York,
the very center of the banking
trust, in these word:
Il remind you that the Bank
of England has not on its direc-
tory a single banker, broker, or
bill discounter, but is controlled
by public opinion as great ma
tional agency and as safeguard
for the commercial and industrial
interests of the British empire.
Your plea that the bankers
should control the federal re-
serve board and the proposed re-
serve system would violate the
experience of England, France
and Germany, and is contrary
to common sense, for the obvi-
Gus reason that these reserve
banks are not created to enable
you to make more money, but
are established to safeguard the
commerce and industry Gnclud-
ing the banks of the people of
the United States and to put an
end to the periodic sinister ex-
pansion and contraction of cred
it's leading to the so-called bull
markets and bear markets, in
which banks like your own have
been used as means of promOt-
ing private interest at the public
expense.

THE IMPORTANCE
OF A GOOD MALE

There is perhaps no other important
factor connected with beef production
that is as often disregarded as that Of
the selection of bulls to head the herds
of grade cows from which are pro-
duced the feeding cattle of the country.
1t is still true that the bull is half the
herd" and he may be more than half
the herd if he is Il choice individual
backed up by good ancestry.
A brief discussion of the Importance
of using great discretion in the selec.
ton of a sire should tend to more
active demand for the better grades OF
registered beef bulls. In the first place,
the writer wishes to go on record as
saying that the breeder of feeding cat
tie, whether he fattens them himself
or sells them to cattle feeders, cannot
afford to use common bull Of indis-
criminate breeding. There can be no
doubt about that
Feeding cattle that are well bred and
possess quality enough to weigh
thousand pounds or better at two
years old are worth all the way from
$40 to $50 per head, depending upon
their individual quality and condition.
Such feeding cattle can be produced
from grade beef cows mated with
choice beef bulls. Common and infe'
rior feeding cattle that are produced
from common COWS and grade or
scrub bulls frequently attain an age of
three or more years before they reach
a thousand pounds in weight.
Such feeders at such an age and
weight are worth from $21 to $50
each. The lesson should be plain that
1t does not pay to use an inferior bull
that sires the steer that pays the own
er but 50 per year for his keep as
against the one that pays 500 to $25
per year.
1t may be claimed that the fault Is
not altogether with the bull. We grant
that. But suppose the cows are the
same in either case, the well bred bull
will produce feeding cattle which will
grade at least two grades higher than
the feeding cattle produced by the
mediocre bull.
mere Is usually uDOuL Oh tcutS pei
hundredweight difference in price be-
tween one grade of feeding cattle and
the next higher grade. If the well
bred bull raises the grade of his off
spring two grades he adds to the value
Of each animal he sires 10 cents per

pound steer ST.
Properly cared for. bull should sire
from forty to fifty calves per year.
For sake Of argument. suppose we
say he sires forty. If he should In
crease the value of each Of his off
spring but s., n very conservative est-
mate, he earns at the least 5000 with
his first crop of calves. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that as compared
with the use of an inferior bull the
registered beef bull pays for himself
the first year.-Herbert W. Mumford,
Chief Division of Animal Husbandry,
University Of Illinois.

THE HORNS
Of DAIRY CATTLE

Owners Of farm cattle have a mis-
taken idea Of beauty when they think
a COW or a bull is more attractive with
the horns on, says KimbalPs Dairy
Farmer. For safety's sake, if for no
other reason, the cattle should be de-
horned, both to keep them from injur-
Ing each other and from doing bodily
harm to persons on the farm. Horns
have no possible use TO any domestic
animal and should be removed at an
early age.
The writer knows of at least one in
stance where horns nearly cost childs
life. The COW was a family pet and
generally as tame as kitten. She had
very pretty and symmetrical horns,
and her owner would not think of hav-
ing them removed. One day the fam

Make Swine Pay Two Ways.

An important consideration that Is
TOO often overlooked is the economical
utilization of manure produced by
swine Dry lot feeding in summer Is
often associate I'd With a heavy waste
OF manure on account of the large
part of the manure that is leached or
blown away when deposited In bare
lots. Feeding on pastures or IN cul-
tvnted fields will do much to obviate
this loss since a large proportion or
