COWS REQUIRE
HAY WHEN ON
PASTURE

You can save money by feeding the
have turned them to pasture. rms
saving comes about in two ways. II
saves the pasture from the bad effects
OF early close cropping that Is so
detrimental to good summer pasture;
and it insures that the cows will not
fall off In milk flow thru lack of feed.
The food material for the growing
grass is manufactured by the green
leaves, and If the pasture is kept
closely cropped the leaf surface is de-
creased To such an extent that many
of the roots either die or are weaken
ed thru lack of nourishment. If We
expect the pastures to grow and
thrive we must allow them TO get a
good start in the spring. which will
enable them to develop sufficient
roots to carry them thru the dry sum-
mer IL is false economy to pasture
the grass too closely at first.
New grass as we'll as young wheat
and rye Is composed of about nine
tenths water and one-tenth solid mat
ter. Milk itself contains about Ia per
cent solid fatter, so that a COW that Is
producing 30 pounds of milk per day
would be compelled To eat about 40
pounds of this immature pasture in
order to furnish the solids for the
milk Because of the fact that the
cow has the ability to use the body
tissues to make up the shortage OF
nutriments in the feed. the milk
flow does not drop OFF Immediately and
many farners are led to believe that
the COW IL getting sufficient feed from
the pasture. In short time. however
the reserve material is used up and
the milk flow begins to drop og.
II the milk How Is allowed TO de-
crease In any extent, the original
liow can never Der egained until the
CON calves again. The COW goes thru
the entire season OF good pasture with
a decrease In milk flow In the long
run this means a big loss In profits.

POTATO GROWING
WILL BECOME
NECESSARY

1t is claimed that potatoe growing
should become an important factor in
the success of farming in Carson VAL
ley. Those who have been studying
the situation declare that far greater
returns per acre ere possible than is
realized by the farmers for alfalfa.
An acre of ground in Carson Valley
produces say six tons of alfalfa and
theaverage market price is $6 per ton.
That means $36 per acre. For sake of
argument we will say that it costs SO
per ton to irrigate. havest and market
the hay, which leaves a clear gain of
SIS per acre. The same amount of
land planted to potatoes will produce
on an average of II tons, which at
$40 per ton amounts to $780, Allow
half of this amount for planting grow
ing and harvesting and we have
clear gain of $3.50 per acre.
Hay is worth more than So per ton
at the present time; nearer $12 per
ton. Potatoes are worth more than
$40 per ton; in fact they are worth
a price exceeding $40 per ton.
Many believe that the time is COM
ing when the production of alfalfa
in Carson Valley will far exceed the
consumption. In that event subsi-
tute crop will be necessary and it
is the opinion of many that the potatoe
will be the one to relieve the condi-
ton.

REbEKAH DANCE
APRIL FIRST

Two weeks from tomorrow night is
the date set for the Fools party to be
given by Carson Valley Rebekah
lodge at this place. From what can be
learned, the dance will be largely at
tended and will be one of the foremost
social events of the season
The lodge had desire to give "a
dance a little different than the ordi-
nary and decided on the Fools party.
This must not be confused with a
masquerade. No masks are to be
worn; only outlandish costumes and
as ridiculous as you care to wear
There will be no roughness as marked
several of the masque dances of some
years ago. The dance will be conduct
ed as ordilary as any of the more re-
cent social events and the brother Odd
Fellows will be there to assist the Re-
bekahs entertain.
hile there has been no definite
announcement. it is rumored that the
party will be made Leap Year affair
after midnight
A delicious midnight supper will be
served by the ladies of the lodge and
everything is being done that will have
tendency to make the dance a great
success. 1t is none too early to be-
gin planning on that costume for this
dance.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Speaking at a luncheon given in his honor here today by the Pilgrims of the United States, Right Rev. Huyshe Wolcott Yeatman- Biggs, bishop of Worcester, England, asserted that the role which the Eng fish people believe the most thoughtful Americans desire to play is that their nation shall be hailed by all the world. even by those who have been at war, as the herald of true peace and of progress which gives to every nation, big or little place in Gods sun" Later in his address the bishop said:
 'I doubt whether the temper of the allies would ever suffer any sugges- tions of peace intervention until the cause for which We are ready to give our all is accomplished"
 The British prelate declared that some day England with her allies will win another victory for the freedom of men" and that new aspects of the relation of capital to labor, new phases of religion, politics and domestic econ- omy must find their place in our new house"
 We look to America now so to up- hold the ideals of justice, of mercy, and good fellowship" he said. that the world may presently turn to it as q nation which by it's firmness of pur- pose and it's greatness of thought. has won the claim of the world to be so regarded when we come to settle our affairs. That is what we are looking for.
 When peace comes. it would be in deed helpful if the neutral countries lent a hand in the adjustment of all our future. in the adjustment of those social conditions which will make for Q lasting commonwealth That is what we aim at We are tired of the word empire l do not think that we any longer want to talk of the Britih em- pire' We want to talk of the British brotherhood and the British common wealth"
