Dog Caught in Trap.

Last Thursday forenoon Dr. Sta.
bo's big dog took a scouting trip over
on the hills east of DEBORAH and
wandered off down on the Teskey
farm. Victor Hoeg and his brother
have had a couple of traps set in the
woods to catch wolves and fox, and
the dog stepped into one of the
traps. The dog is big and strong
and in his efforts to get loose brok ?
the chain holding the trap, and came
over town with the trap clamped on
his right foot.
In front of Leonheart's restaurant
several men caught the dog and re-
moved the trap from his foot, and he
trotted off as if nothing had happen
ed, and we wager Mr.. Dog will not
go looking for game in that vicinity
again.

PAIL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

"In modern dairies where clean

pail is necessity, as such pail pre-
sents only small opening into which
dust and dirt may fall from the air

are for sale, but any timer can con-

EXCELLENT RATION FOR cow
II Farmers Would Depend More on
Sllage and Less on Pasture Herds
Could BE Doubled.

A good ration for cows giving MIX
is silage twice day, corn fodder once
a day and all the bean forage they will
clean up. with about one pound grain
or concentrate to every three pounds
milk the cow gives. If the beans were
pulled before becoming too ripe and
secured without much rain falling on
them, the forage makes good feed.
Roots are valuable, to increase the
flow OF milk.
II we would depend more on silage
and less on pasture, our dairy herds
might easily be doubled and the farm
enriched accordingly. Many farmers
have been slow to awaken to the fact
that dairying brings excellent returns.
Many Improbable crops are still
raised where the land might better be
growing feed for live stock.
Permanent pasture Is a waste I'M
less the land cannot be plowed. Every
acre should be made to raise feed for
stock to the limit of its capacity, and
this should be fed right on the farm

The Prune Club.
Benxine Frsm Coal.

1t is reported from Sweden that a
Stockholm engineer M Vidstrand,
has lately succeeded in perfecting an
electric process by which he extracts
benzine from coal. The method is not
as yet made public, and the details
will be awaited with interest.
It is claimed that the cost of pro
duction on the electric method will be
considerably less than for the custom
airy benzine processes. The resulting
produce answers all the requirements
for a good fuel for automobile or other
motors.
The inventor has applied for pat
ents in IS different countries, it is said,
and is making efforts to operate the
system on an industrial scale. Where
electric current can be had at low
rate, for instance, from hydraulic
plants, such a method can be used
to advantage.

CoTToNSEED MEAL FOR cows
No Harmful Effects II Fed In Moder
ate Amounts Along With Variety
of Other Feeds.

(By z. G.. WOODWARD. Nebraska Elk
pertinent Station.)
A Nebraska subscriber writes: Is
the feeding of cottonseed meal harm
full to dairy cows il fed right along?"
II cottonseed meal is fed in moder-
ate amounts along with variety OF
other feeds, there are no harmful eff
fects.
Ordinarily a cow should not be fed
more than two pounds daily of cotton
seed meal AS usual thing it will
not take this amount to properly bal
ance a ration made up OF common
dairy feeds.
At present prices cottonseed meal
is very cheap source of protein and
should undoubtedly be used much
more extensively by Nebraska dairy
men than it now is.
