Colorado more than any two words in

WITH THE THINKERS
, >>>>>>>>>>>>> .

E. ]. Brown-Farm life is OF meal
culable value to boys. First of all. a
boy is taught honesty. For example,
certain tasks are asked of each one
on the ranch. If the boy is instructed
to plant spuds in rows SO far apart,
there is no way of deceiveing the
employer. The boy is forced to be
honest. The habits that people form
in the country are most beneficial to
them. Early to bed, early to rise. are
the slogans Of the farmer. and if we
OF the city would practice this advice
more than we do. we would feel the
great benefits of it. The boy is also
taught to do hard work. He realizes
that he is performing some real SER
vice, and in this fact lies the value Of
his rural experience, becaus no one is
happy unless he is of service. No
wonder the greatest men in history
are those who have been brought up
on the farm.

EXERCISE and FEED
FOR DAIRY BULLS

Discussing the need Of exercise for
dairy bulls, l. NJ. Avery writes I'm the
Holstein-F Register. Our bulls
are kept In the main calf barn, and
every morning that the weather will
possibly permit, while the regular
work is in progress, they take turns
exercising upon an endless belt tread
power provided solely for the purpose.
Possibly the power thus generated
might on many farms be used to some
advantage-we are content to merely
keep our bulls in tptop breeding con-
dition by its daily use
The power is equipped with q COVER
nor which controls the speed and a
brake for use In case Of emergency
and when starting and stopping Each
service bull is given not less than an
hours continuous exercise every day at
a pace approximating three miles per
hour. In the regular breeding season,
commencing with US Dec. 10, the peri
Cd Is shortened somewhat, and when
the bulls are not In use-namely, from
dUouL aug. Id uHLl Dec- LOU Is
heightened as much as possible.
During extremely hot weather the
exercise time Is dividedEhalf In the
morning before the sun becomes too
hot and the balance late in the after
noon. We never leave a bull entirely
to himself without any one near at
hand, as It IS hardly safe, especially in
the case Of a mature animal, but while

FALLING HAIR OR
ITCHING SCALP
Surely Cease When You Use Partisan
Sage-Makes Your Hair Soft and
Fluffy.

Now that Partisan Sage-a scientific
preparation that supplies every hair
and scalp need-can be had at any drug
counter, or from R. E. McRoberts it is
certainly; needless to have thin, brittle,
matted, stringy or faded hair. No
matter how unsightly your hair, how
badly it is falling, or how much dand-
ruff, Partisan Sage is all that is needed.
Every trace of dandruff is removed
with one application, the hair roots are
nourished and stimulated to grow. new
hair, itching scalp and falling hair
cease-your hair becomes soft, fluffy,
abundant and radiant with life and
beauty.
Partisan Sage is surely one of the
most invigorating and refreshing hair
tonics known. 1t is easily used at
home-not expensive. and even one ap-
plication proves its goodness.

COST OF A HEIFER.
A Convincing Argument In Favor Of
Pure Bred Cattle

A Convincing Argument In Favor Of
Pure Bred Cattle
1t has been figured that the average
net cost of raising a yearling dairy
heifer on q Wisconsin farm Is 1882,
says Rural New Yorker. A two-year-
old heifer costs S61.41. These figures
are probably fair, as they represent the
average Of 1T calves. Probably these
figures will apply to most other dairy
districts in the north and east 1t costs
about as much to raise a scrub heifer
as one that contains a good share Of
pure blood. A scrub heifer would rare
" sell for more than $40, clear loss
Of $40 or more. In fact, heifer has to
be good enough to bring sec. when two
years Of age in order to give an even
return for what she has cost
But there is no business that could
prosper In producing a thing for just
about what 1t cost, and If you produce
q heifer at all and pay out $50 In labor
and feed you ought to produce a good
one rather than a scrub.

and averages of some of the best crops.

on Monday of 4O2, $50 pounds made an
average of $9.49.

This sale was made at our No. and

Broadway, half square from South
Broadway. 1t is the best lighted house
in the world to show tobacco. You can
see from the prices and average that
the New Sllas Shelburne Tobacco Ware
house is the place to sell your tobacco.
We have no hired men to run our sales,
but work ourselves for your interest
from the start of the sale to the finish,
seeing that each pile is started and
pushed to its full value.
no one can tell what is in the future
but we hope for firm market from
this time on and possibly some better
prices on the bright grades, if there is
not too much tobacco rushed on the
market at any one time. All the crop
cannot be sold in January, and we be-
lieve it will pay the people not to rush
the tobacco on the market too fast. 1t
will all be needed to supply the demand.
We are ready to receive tobacco any
day for sales commencing on December
g. We hope to sell for you and will
do our best to please you.
We have two houses, so don't let
parties interested in other houses make
you believe that we are full up but
come and talk with US in person.

AROUND THE DAIRY.

The COW Is the unit. Of the
dairy industry. Upon her quail
ty its success depends.
One way to improve dairy
quality Is to have better and
more sanitary barns.
Change Of feed Is necessary
for the general health Of the
COW and also for the largest pro-
duction- That's one reason why
green pastures improve the cat
tie
The dairy cow that makes a
large yield usually makes it at
the least cost-that Is, the extra
pounds Of butter cut down the
cost Of production.
The introduction Of co-opera-
tive testing associations would
be a source of education and
stimulus to all dairymen and
farmers

ULSTER VOLUNTEERS
 LEARN MANEUVERS
Drilling and Organizing for Military
 Purposes Goes on in Ireland.
(Special Cable(


 BELFAST, Feb. 21.-The Ulster volunteer movement has now taken d decidedly forward step. in order that large bodies of men may be en- abled to devote themselves entirely to field operations, arrangements are being made whereby several thousand in the Belfast area will be in rota- ton free entirely for several weeks from their ordinary occupations. The number that has volunteered already for this is quite remarkable, even to those who know the spirit of intense earnestness that is such a marked feature of the volunteer movement. In these specially selected thousands there will be a large proportion of ex-mlitary men and they will go into camp almost immediately.
 Three thousand men in Belfast alone have enrolled themselves al ready, although the scheme is little more than a few hours old. Prac- tically the whole strength of the vol unteers can be relied upon to follow the example, in order to complete in camp the drilling so sedulously con- ducted hitherto in drill ll-yards.
 In country areas the same thing is in progress, and, indeed, in some re- spects the rural districts are ahead of Belfast. For example, at Killy- moon demesne, which is close to CookstoWn, county Tyrone. over 1000 men were engaged throughout one whole day in advanced maneuvers officered by Colonel Alexander, Cap tain Ricardo. and others. A mimic battle was fought blank cartridges being used. The contending parties went into action as completely equipped in details as if the fight vas an affair of deadly earnest. The attacking line was roughly a mile in length, and a river had to be bridged. This task the attackers per formed. though at first repulsed in the effort. The assault was carried out with great dash and skill. and the commanding officers expressed unbounded satisfaction with the way
