In mentioning the return of the E

overlooked mention of the return of
Miss Clara Ensign, who was one of the
party.
Roy Steele, Yves. Erickson, Lloyd
Steele and Jeff Smith were on the
mountain last week overhauling the
Cooperative telephone lines. All
phones up there are now working
nicely.
James Sweatman and wife of Water

Frank Buzzard sent a string of
horses to the Cattlemen's Day doings
at Gunnison last week and went over
with his family Tuesday by automo
bile.
H. A. Cobbett took his family to the
mesa Monday where they will remain
for several weeks. Mr. Cobbett re-
turned to his work on the creek yes
terday. During his absence r. C. Dix
looked otter the upper Surface Creek
water.
Roy E. Steele, manager of the Ce-
daredge and Eckert exchanges of the
Cooperative telephone, reports that at
present more phones are in use than
at any previous time since he has been
with the company, which is several
years. This speaks volumes for the
company service.

Denver accompanied by his brother
Harry, who was on his way home to
San Francisco. Sunday the brothers
and A. H. Batten went up to the mesa
to view the beautiful scenery and en-
joy the cool atmosphere. Joe states
that he expects to move to Denver
next month where he has good posi-
tion in his brothers store.
Lawrence Rinehart is now a full
fledged cream tester having passed
the examination and received license
from the state department. He was
the only one of $50 applicants in the
last fifteen months to make a grade of
100 per cent. This would indicate
that the work in these lines being done
by the Cedaredge high school is pretty
good as this is where Lawrence re-
ceived his training.

In. Interest of Dairy Business.

The directors of the National dairy
velopment of the COW business in this
country, met in Washington the other
day to outline some definite action
relative to dairy Legislation in the
next congress. The main features of
the bill decided upon are as follows
The adoption of color standard for
oleo and the prohibition OF it's manu-.
| facture or sale under any conditions
when the degree of yellow coloration
is greater than that prescribed. Lin.
iting of the amount of butter fat that
may be Incorporated in oleomargarine
to five per cent. The adoption of a
uniform tax rate for all kinds of bull
butter. The other features of the bill
were left the same as Union had had
prepared in a measure introduced in
Congress nearly two years ago, known
as the Haugen bill The two plans OF
taxing oleomargarine-ten cents for
colored and one-fourth of a cent a
pound for uncolored-has been the
cause of much fraud practiced upon
the government and has been used to
create false impression that all oleo

were filed down and put in as good
order as possible. This mule was
shipped back to the farm and in a
few days began to improve in flesh.
A healing lotion was used in her
mouth for several days. The ulcer
disap reared. and after that she had
either hay or grain, and performed
her work so well that she was finally
sold at profit-a few weeks after
being cured.

HEAVY FEEDING OF
SILAGE TO A BULL
Majority of Breeders reed 1t in
Limited Quantities Together
With Alfalfa.

Heavy feeding OF silage to a bull
at service is not desirable and may
render him impotent. Some breeders
will not feed silage under any condi-
ton, but probably the majority will
feed it in limited quantities together
with all the alfalfa or clover hay the
bull will consume. To supplement
this roughage sufficient grain is fed
to keep the bull in good service con-
dition but not fat. Restricted and
careful feeding and plenty OF exer-
else are the fundamental require
ments in keeping a bull in good serv-
ice condition.
A good ration for the bull will con-
sist OF all the clover hay he will con-
sumo without waste and ten to If
teen pounds of good silage. II bull

In order to keep him in good condi-
ton, feed sufficient Of grain mix
ture consisting Of equal parts of dried
brewers grains and ground oats or
bran. At $40 per ton the dried brew

the oats or bran will add variety and
tighten up the ration. IL no silage is
fed. it may be desirable to feed from
0 half pound to a pound of oil meIl
eIily, possibly adding corn and cob

SALT is ESSENTIAL
FOR DAIRY CATTLE
important Item Often Overlooked
in Cows Rati0n-Put in
Convenient Place.

Qsy f. V. ELLINGTON. Idaho Expert
ment StGtonD
An important item that is often over
looked in the management of the dairy
herd is the necessity of providing salt
in the ration OF the COW All animals
that consume large quantities Of veg
etable food require salt. Babcock Of
the Wisconsin experiment station
found in his experimental work that
the cattle when deprived Of salt be-
came emaciated and were OF low VI
tally and finally suffered a complete
breakdown. He recommended that
they should be fed three-fourths of an
ounce per day with an additional six
tenths of an ounce for each 20 pounds
of milk produced.
While salt may be provided in the
daily ration by mixing il with the
grain, an equally satisfactory method
in practice is TO keep it in a conven-
lent place, where the animals may
have ready access 10 il when they so
desire II may be used in the form
of rock salt or placed in boxes in the
feed lot. However. il should be borne
in mind that salt is very essential to
the economical ending ard health OF
dairy cattle.

LIVE STOCK is BIG
FACTOR IN FARMING
One of Most Important Elements
in Making Farming Profit
able-High Labor Income.

By \. IL BENTON. Assistant in Farm
MANAGEMENT. University Farm. ST. Paul.
Mimi
Records from 400 farms in Rice
county, Minnesota, show that good
live stock was the most important fac
tor in making farming profitable. The
labor income, or the amount OF money
the farmer earned above farm ex-
penses. interest on the farm invest
ment at five per cent and the value OF
farm produce used in the household.
was used as the measure of success.
The productivity of live stock is
measured by the value OF the returns
to the farmer. Those farms having
live stock returning less than so per
cent of the average Of all the farms on
the basis OF the amount of live stock
kept. gave an average labor income OF
$40 less than nothing. In other words
these farmers had to take $40 from
the interest on their investment in or
der to pay their farm expenses.
Farms with live stock returning from
go TO 100 per cent of the average. gave
an average labor income of s1+S:
those with live stock returning from
l0l to $40 per cent Of the average
gave a labor income Of s5O6: those
with live stock returning over 40
per cent of the average, gave a labor
income OF s9li. Live stock did not
give high labor income in every in
stance. Yield of crops, size OF farm
business. efficiency Of labor and the
amount Of live stock are all important
factors.
