OTHER VIEW POINTS

Cost OF manufacture is all that pre-
vents alcohol from competing now. But
the alcohol boosters predict that
denatured alcohol could be made on the
farm and sold for 20 cents a gallon.
This is the prediction that has never
been realized. The price has never
been anywhere near as low as predicted
for Opposes OF securing the legisla-
ton. Consequently, IL Is unable to

comparison between an american

FEDERAL CRIME IF
STAMP is OMITTED

County Register Ed. A. Walk
er has received a number of re-
quests about affixing revenue
stamps to deeds that are filed.
He has received a pamphlet con-
corning the question, and has re-
quested that The Times give it
publicity.
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue was asked the following
question: If A sells B a piece of
of land for consideration over
500, should A affix the required
revenue stamps before delivering
it to B?
The Commissioner quoted Sec
ton 6 of the war revenue law,
which it as follows:
That if any person or persons
shall make, sign or issue, or cause
to be made; signed or issued, any
instrument, document, or paper
If any kind or description what
soever, without the same being
duly stamped or denoting the tax
hereby imposed thereon, or with
out having thereupon an adhesive
stamp to denote said tax, such
person or persons shall be deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall pay
a fine of not more than 500, at
the discretion of the court. "
1t is further understood that if
deeds are made and not filed dur
ing the period from December
2914 and January 1916, the tax
and fine will be assessed whe1
deeds are filed at a later date.
This is to overcome the loss that
the government would sustain by
allure to record deeds that were
nade and held up to avoid pay
ing the tax.

The most profitable age and condi-
ton for disposing Of beef cattle de-
ponds largely upon the character and
value of the land on which they are
grown. If one has a large area of
rough grazing land with relatively
small area for the production of crops,
he will usually find it more profitable
to sell his cattle as stockers, or feed
ers, to his neighbor in the valley who
has more feed than the number of cat
tie he can afford to raise will use. For
this reason, the farmer in the valley
has been able to buy cattle cheaper
than he could raise them, since his
lands are so much higher priced than
the rough grazing lands. The cheaper
lands of the state do not at present
supply the demand, though they are
not producing near the number of cat
tie they are capable Of. The yearly in
creasing price of beef, is causing the
establishment of small herds of beef
cattle varying from a few COWS to fifty
or more, on the more profitable farm
ing lands, The need of cattle is realized
in the keeping up of the soil fertility,
and beef cattle require less at
tention than dairy cattle. Those who
have from three to five calves to sell
each year will find it more convenient

ECONOMICAL USE OF WINTER PASTURES

bone and muscle in pigs has re-
Gently been brought to attention by
bulletin of the Kentucky Experiment
Station, in which is given the analyses
of the common cereals and other
plants at different stages of growth,
which shows that the young rye
when five inches high contains $50
per cent protein and PIT per cent ash,
and when twenty-seven inches high
contains only 272 per cent protein
and 1.59 per cent ash; and wheat at
same heights 6.54 per cent protein,
800 per cent ash, 2,31 per cent pro-
tein, LIS per cent ash. The same
change is noted in the case OF the
other cereals, and it is very interest.
ing to note that at five inches in
height, all Of the cereals analyze high
er in protein and ash than do the
clovers. Alfalfa contains All per cent
protein and 1893 per cent ash, and red
clover 4,31 per cent protein and 2.O1
per cent ash, both of which are notice
ably lower than that of green rye, and
this explains why stock thrive so well
on cereal pastures. To obtain the best
results with such pastures, use them
with pigs while the growth is young
and tender, changing to cattle and
sheep as they become more mature.

(Ry R. M. Murphy.

(By R. NJ Murphy, Division of Elk
To get the best use out Of winter
pastures of wheat, barley, oats, rye or
clovers, attention must be paid to
utilizing them with the right kind of
live stock at the right time. There is
a marked difference in the ability of
different kinds of animals to make use
Of foodstuffs of varying coarseness,
due to the differences in the capacity
of their stomachs. The pigs stomach
has an average capacity of only about
two gallons, while that of the COW has
an average capacity of sixty-siX gal
Ions and the sheep eight gallons, so
that the pig cannot possibly use as
bulky material to advantage as either
of the other animals. For this reason
the pigs should have the first chance
at the pastures, and while the
forage is young and tender. II one
watches bunch of pigs grazing on
pasture of any of the common crops,
he will observe that they chew and
swallow the green material if it is
young and tender, but if it has become
coarse they chew it and spit 1t out,
simply because they cannot use it to
advantage. Cattle and sheep do much
better on the older pastures than do
pigs. Another reason of much i'm
portance in the development of better
