their predecessors we're sold in June,
all to themselves. Here they get corn
and cob meal, enough to keep the calf
fat in place and add to 1t little each
day. At this stage Mr.. Beath has
added each year to his bunch Of home
crowns" what calves of quality he
could pick up in the neighborhood.
All are fed we'll and kept coming until
cold weather commences and pasture
is gone.
For the first two years corn and cob
meal, clover hay, corn fodder, and cot
ton seed meal were depended upon.
to continue the process of making the
calves into beef. Money was made
on that basis, but for the last three
years corn silage has been an impor-
tant factor in producing this result.
About December the silo is opened
and from then on until grass comes
again the calves get about all the ST.
lage they will eat. Indeed they eat
some even after grass comes. The
daily silage ration is from twelve to
fifteen and sometimes as high as
eighteen pounds. With the silage they
eat from FIVE to six pounds day of
corn and cob meal. until along in
March when the corn is gradually in
creased to as high as eleven pounds
day. Some cotton seed meal is also
fed toward the close of the feeding
period, beginning at half pound OF
the meal per head and gradually in
creasing to a pound and half day.
Usually at marketing time, which
comes in June, there are two loads of
calves to ship. They weigh around
800 pounds at from eleven to thirteen
months of age. During the past five
years they have gone below the $50
mark but once (191D. They have
averaged better than $50 head for
the five years. Every year they have
made profit.
Many of the breeding cows arr
still young, growing as well as pre-
ducing The older cows are fatted
and turned off as their usefulness de-
clines or they fail to produce a calf
1t is a safe estimate that the average
yearly cash income for each COW i'll
the herd is better than $50.
While there is nothing startling in
this method of beef production. there
apparently is sure profit in it. Tie
COWS are cheaply kept, the pasture
land is well employed and the ele-
ment of speculation involved in buy
ing high priced feeders is avoided.
The rough feed and coarse folders are
all utilized and converted into market.
able beef and valuable farm manurs-
Little corn and no roughage is bought
All the crops are raised on the farm
and fed there so that little fertility
Is lost from the farm and the cost OF
marketing of the farm products Is
| reduced to the minimum. Little hired
labor is necessary. Hogs follow the
cattle and consume the waste Of the
cattle feeding and make extra profit
and the farm is growing more pro-
ductive. When the methods and re-
suits of some of the most successful
beef producers are studied it looks as
if there is money after all in produc-
ing beef on high priced land and those
of our Wisconsin farmers who do not
want to go into dairying, who have
farms adapted to beef production,
need not let the high priced land ar
gument disturb them in the least
about getting into beef raising al
once.

The Bank of Duncan is to b.

The Bank of Duncan is to be
envlod, IN regard to it's office
force In every methodical
business enterprise, there is a
crying need for assistance that
rs systematic, courteous and oh
llglng. The stockholders and de
posltors of this conservative in
Estltutlon Of Duncan need have
no fear that their interests are
not fully safeguarded. Mr.. Ian
neau is a man of business. in the
strongest sense of the word,
he is ably assisted by Miss
Clark, IN whom are United all
the southern ~conceptF5Ts of
womanhood, c5mbined with the
standards edV0lved by the nee
esslties of modern commerce.
Miss Clark, and we speak with
all opinions of gentle woman
hood, that are to be gained
from every parental precept of
Che OLD school, is an enbod
lment of all conceptions of
what a lady should be. 1t is a
distinct advantage to Duncan.
and especially to Duncan's com
mercial interests, that Miss
clark has gained her willing
consent to remain in the rom
antlc valley Of the Gila. It is
worth all the strivings of life
TO know that the fullest appro-
baton is accorded ones efforts to
be all that is demanded by the
commercial life of the commun
lty where the happy years of
that life are to be spent. Chiv
arly, IN the true sense of the
term cannot find a fairer
shrine than the lady of whom
we speak. 1t is to be regretted
that we have no assurance that
this present state of affairs will
co. .tinue: There are gentle
winds that whisper wistfulI
rumors to the effect that the
days Of the single state are to
end.

Visitors to Ell Paso

The following were among the
Duncan visitors to Cattlemen's S
Convention at ElPaso: A. Martin
Mr.. Lynn, Mr.. McKeehan, Mr..
Head. Mr.. Cureton, Robt Lewis,
Mr.. Chiffon, Mr.. Sanders, Mr..
Parks, Mr.J. L. Foster, and wife.
All report a dandy visit to the
Pass City. Some Of them tighten
ed their pocket books to an
alarming extent, through the
purchase of such items as pict-
ure hats, etc, for strangers, tips
to bell boys, walters; but those
who are accused of such
extravaganza, sfoutly maintain
that they are not complaining.
for they got their moneys worth.

The Fascinating Waltz

The St. Patricks dance at the
iobbs Hall last Monday night
was thoroughly enjoyable, from
very stand point. The dances
given at Duncan are always
attended by every former
Duncanite who has the necessary
lash to buy his train fare.
There is about these nights of
enjoyment a wistful remembr-
ance that causes all people, who
nave ever attended one of
hem, to have an intense long
ng to come to Duncan every
time they are told, or hea,
through Mr.. Spaw's liberal
advertising, that a dance is to be
given at Hobbs Hall, If Won

dance Monday night, Have YOU
ever longed to hear the melting
strains of the prettiest echoes
that waltz music can bring?
Have you ever dreamed of the
poetical dance, where fair men
and maidens joined in dance
and song! Have you wished for
the happiness that a sweet
waltz with that pear girl would
bring! Those who attended the
dance last Monday night exper
lllced every emotion we have
mentioned. Come to Duncan

A Sad Farewell

agement of a new bank. Mr.. Ket-
cherside is unfortunate enough to
be connected. on the paternal
side, with one of the most influen
tial bankers Of the Kansas and
Oklahoma section of the great
U. S. We regret that unavoidable
conditions cause this strong
young man to sever relations, ac-
tibely. with Duncan, we can only
hope that the beauty of a certain
fair maiden of Duncan will assist
in keeping Duncan in his mem O.
ries. Come to Duncan.

Mr.. Clark, in company with

5 ONE of the prettiest scenes of
pastoral beauty that nature, in

never knew, until this trip,
what wealth the Duncan
country is possessed of. We pass
edranches where every indication
was OF prosperity; farmhOuses
where the air of contentment
played at the homes door; over
roads of such smoothness that
they would be creditable to any
community, anywhere. any time,
no matter how prosper ous
that community might be. But
the most important phase of the

which we rode. Without a doubt.

The pulse of the business COM
munlty can be accurately Judged
by the condition Of it's banks. It
is indeed a source of qualification
to the citizens of Duncan to know
that their bank is enjoying an
era OF prosperity that astonish-
es the person who is not ac-
qualnted with the material re-
sources of Duncan. The wealtv
depositors of this bank are assur-
ed that everything neccessarvto
the continuance of this prosper
lty will be supplied by the supe-
rior sagacity of Mr.. Lan7eau
For each and every statement Of
this in stitution exceeds the flo
ures, in deposits, of the one be-
fore. Another cheering thought in
this connections that the growth
of the bank surely means the
Growth of the country adjacent
to it. Every person who is for
tunate enough to transact bust
ness with this bank is insured
treatment that is absolutely fair
and courteous.

Wilson's Inaugural Address

The Inaugural address of pres
ident Wilson was splendid
dellyerance worthy of the noble
man who gave it utterance.
Itwas too great an occasionfor
rattle-headed rhetoric or party
glorlflcation. An intensely earn
est lofty tone beathes throu RI it
all. That is an exceptionally fine
passage where he SAID. This is
not a day of triumph; it is ii day
OF dedication. Here muster not
the forces Of party but the
forces of humanity. Mems hearts
wait upon US, mems lives hang
in the balance. Mems hopes
call upon us to say what we
will do. Who shall live up to
the great trust! Who dares fail
to try! | summon all honest
men, all patriotic, all forward
looking men to my side God
helping me | will not fail them.
It they will but counsel and
sustain me. " The address shows
what a comprehensive blew the
president has of the situation
He is' no book-worm recluse.
He is wide awake to the
interest of every section of
the country, The people of
Arizona, and especially of the
Glla Valley, will note withpleas
