were purchased at S5.55 per hpndfea
pounds, and they were sold fore623
but in spite Of this good spread IN
value the net profit per steer was

pounds Of gain .on these steers, COM
putting the feed at regular market
prices. In an adjoining feed lot a
similar number of steers were fed the
same length of time, but In this case
corn silage was used In place Of clover
hay. These steers were bought at the
same price-namely. $3.50 per hundred
pounds-and they sold 10 cents per
pound higher than the steers fed on
hay, or for 1886 per hundred pounds.
Their gains were made at a cost OF
$9.SS per hundred pounds, and the net
profit per steer in this case was S2O.9B.
These results are worth pendering
over by those who propose to follow
along the same old fashioned route IN
feeding cattle. The cheap gains In this

acreage produces larger amount OF
GOOD fattening food in the form OF en-
silage than can be produced in any
other way. The man who tries to finish
cattle on dry feed alone must IN the
future compete with those who take
this short cut to cheap gains. There
can be only one outcome Of situation
Ike this-namely, that the practice OF
those who use the cheapest meat max
ina foods will be the basis Of cost In
the future. Those who cannot bring
the cost down to this minimum point
by the use Of this comparatively mex
pensiye food will be eliminated from
the business or they must continue to
carry it on at loss, relying wholly FOR
their profit upon the effect OF feeding
operations on the productiveness OF
their land. AS said before, this profit
will not suffice in the case OF the aver
age man. If dry feed cannot be fed at
a profit then quit feeding dry feed. II
ensilage reduces the cost Of making
gains anywhere from 2 to 4 cents
pound, then how Is this competition to
be met by those who do not feed en-
silage?

CATTLE FEEDING

Attention has frequently been called

Admirers Of Hereford cattle af-
firm that as rustlers they are un-
equaled. They will go farther for
a bite to eat or a drink Of water
than any other breed. Herefords
will find and consume more waste

thin skinned breeds. Herefords are
the best feeders and will make
more pounds Of gain for feed con-

THE LITTLE WHITE DOG THAT
 NEVER WAS.

'Tell me a story, father, dear Said Helen to me one day: And climbing my knee she cuddled
 down
 In her own delightful way. So I made up a story as best I could, Of a house in a peaceful vale, A boy named John and a little white
 dog A dog with a curly tail. It was my undoing, for Helen dear Fell in love with the dog right
 then. And now, each time that she greets
 me home, I must tell of the dog again. Surely no doggie was ever born That had such a wild career, That got in so many scraps and
 fights, And conjured such joy or fear. As a puppy he fell in the pail of
 milk,
 And l fancy l hear him yell When he switched his tail in the
 hot grape juice Of the jelly that would not ''jell." The Shanghai rooster has thrashed
 him twice, He's been butted by the ram, His nose has been full of hedgehog
 quills, And his toes pinched by clam. Once he was lost in woodchuck' s
 hole,
 And once in a hollow tree, Where he found the honey, and al
 so found That a dog shouldn't try to bee. He has battled bobcats and fought
 with dogs, Been tossed by the brindle bull, Kicked by the mare and stoned by
 tramps, Till his cup of woe was full. But then he has done such noble
 deeds Has rounded the frightened sheep, And once found a little lost baby
 girl
 In the swamp, where she fell
 asleep. And the more adventures Carlo has, The more must papa invent, Till my mind is very dog kennel
 of tales And my fancy warped and bent. Often I wish that my Helen's love

JUST CURIOSITY.

A visitor to Mena from one of the inland postoflices stated that the voters there have received from
 three to six circular letters from the Hays camp, and wants to know what ii costs to circularize the state in that fashion, and where the money comes from. From state ments made shortly after the last campaign of George W. Donaghey, To thoroughly circularize Arkansas once over only left pocket change out of S20,000 As some candidates find it necessary to do this several times. it is easy to see why a poor man has no show to be governor unless a rich ring is behind him. As to where they money comes from in the Hays campaign, it might be well to ask Senator Joe as the man best able to give authentic information.

George H. Doran, the New York publisher, had a call not long ago from a young friend just out of college, who confessed to an am- bition to write a modern novel. He wanted to know Doran's views touching on a popular theme and a popular treatment.
 Well" said Doran, it seems to me that in a novel such as you contemplate writing you should en- deavor to enlist the attention of the reader from the very start. Try to make your opening paragraph un- usual and bright.
 The prospective author thanked him and departed. Shortly there after he sent Doran for considera- ton the finished draft of his novel When he saw the first sentence of chapter one Doran realized how thoroughly his young friend had absorbed his advice. It read as fol- lows:
