MUST CONSERVE STOCK FOOD
AS WELL AS FOOD FOR MAN

During the nationwide campaign
for the conservation of food it should
be remembered that man is not the
only consumer of farm products. It
is just as important to make efficient
use of the feed for livestock as of
the food for man himself.
The livestock of our country are
heavy consumers of grains such as
corn, barley, wheat products and rye.
These grains have long been used in
the feeding ration for fattening pur-
poses. There are other feeds which
can be used to replace them.
Barley has almost the feeding value
of corn and at the present time is
$1.45 per hundred cheaper. But bar
ley is rather expensive feed at SPAS
per hundred. A hundred pounds of
dried beet pulp now costs SIPS and
has almost the feeding value of corn.
Among the cheaper roughages to
which some extent may take the place
of concentrates and expensive alfalfa
are straw, beet tops, corn fodder, beet
pulp, and root crops. Some of these
feeds have not been considered of very
great value, but in view of the threat
ened shortage and high prices of feed
stuffs, they should be used for what
| they are worth.
The roughages are class of feed
which cannot be easily shipped off
the farm and the logical thing to do
is to make economical use of then,
Every pound of grain that is replaced
by roughages is saved for mans con-
sumption.
1t should be remembered, however
too much concentration should not be
taken from the fattening ration. To
overdo the feeding of roughages will
not bring proper results to the feeders

DNN O. THISTLE WRITES
From OFFICERS OBSERVE CAMP

The following is . communieaEioa
received from John o. ThiaG3e froa tie
Officsss' Training Cano At Fost

Chicago. nl.. Nov. Is, 1917.
Messrs. P. z. Mcdowell. Jacob Friek-
Ie. Jr. and z. r. Cisytoa. JsIssssrx.
Colorado.
Dear Friends:-It il impossible to
express the flood of pleasant memoe-
les which engulfed me upon receiving
your esteemed communication of the
Goth. inst. with enclosure Of my share
of the "Sedgwick County Soldiers
Boys Thanksgiving Fund"
The boys from Sedgwick county who
are engaged. this Thanksgiving time,
in the work of preparation to do their
part in the accomplishment of the
stupendous task before our common
country will be strengthened and en-
couraged in their efforts from the fact
that the tangible evidence of remem-
brance is but an idex to the store
house of keen remembrance in which,
collectively, the Sedgwick County
Soldier Boy is carried in the minds and
hearts of the Sedgwick County
Home Folks.
Particularly is this true since the
interest in the Soldier boys welfare
is expressed in so practicable way as
to enable him to fill up in the gaps in
the special menu which the Mess
Sergeant" may have provided for the
occasion and thereby give to him the
enjoyment of complete line of Seats"
The enclosed clipping caught my
eye in today's Tribune.
My fellow townsmen, F. F. Stevens
is some distance from the quarters of
my company and we therefore seldom
meet. expect to see him, however
before he leaves for Colorado.
The Ft. Sheridan Training Camp
closes Tuesday. We do not know yet
who is elected or to what duties the
assignments will be, but we doubt, be-
fore this reaches you the assignments
of the several camps will have been
published.
With kind regards and the assur-
ance of my deep appreciation of the
remembrance of Sedgwick County
Home Folks, am
Sincerely yours,
JOHN o. THISTLE
The following is the poetic clip
ping from Mr.. Thistle:
Its Awful Far from My Folks"
A national army rookie
A city stoop in his back
And eyes Of helpless wonder
Against the company shack;
Come with train of others,
Passed through the draft machine,
Shipped from the camp at Rockford
To face the new unseen.
We put the bromide query,
"How do you like it here
In the land of sun and 'smokes'?"
Il think it's fine" he said,
"But it's awful far from my folks"
So we lit "hump" and passed 'em
And asked about the "chow"
Inquired he hadn't noticed
He was feeding better now;
Prognosticated weather
Like tourist folder tells,
And opined that digging trenches
And dodging dummy shells
Was hell compared to being
In the @. M. soling shoes.
He speaks in sort of chokes:
"You're right about the place,
But it's awful far from my folks"
He reached in his khaki breeches
And frightened up his mouth,
"a letter my brother sent me
Before we started SOUTH"
So read the scrawly writing
They all were worried sick
And hoped he'd get furlough
And see them mighty quick.
"Well soon be going over.
Of course a guy may live,
And even if he croaks,
Pm not afraid to go
But it's awful far from my folks."-
Sergeant John Pierre Roche.

1t ought to make every republican
in the land proud he is a republican
when he notes the position of the lead
ers of the party. They have gotten
back of President Wilson in his war
policy unitedly, just as the state
got back of Gunter in a crisis. There
is no party in war matters except a
certain element in democratic ranks
throwing brickbats and generally
seeking to do all the harm they can.

If the republicans of Colorado want
a really high class, able statesman in
the Snate they can do no bitter than to
select C. w. Waterman of Denver, for
the place. His nomination would
mean his election and with Mr.. Water
man in the Senate the people of the
state could point with pride to that
much of their representation at least
Colorado has two good men in Con-
gress, Timberlake and Taylor, the one
a republican and the other democrat,
but when one comes to mention the
others it is with humiliation. We do
do not know whether Mr.. Waterman
will be candidate or not be we GER
tainly hope SO.

As we set II Oy wireless, when the
leaders who threatened a strike on the
railroads unless they got more pay,
waited on President Wilson, they were
told they would stop their monkey
business, or the government would
take the roads and conscript labor as
it has men for fighting. So, no strike.
Mr.. Townley, president of the Non
partisan League, having extracted
$4,000 from the farmers of Colorado,
according to State Senator Agnes Rid
die, is now trying to get organized
labor to join his gang. Some how or
other we opine this man Townley is
riding for magnificent fall.
There are something's at which we
Just have to marvel. For instance
Shafroth has been in the United States
Senate five years and during that
time has done absolutely nothing for
Colorado. Can you beat that rcord,
If the country publishers wish to
get in the class of tin rollers, iron
moulders and coal miners, they will
nave to 60 some. The first now draws
$21 day. the second s12 a day and the
third SO = day.
A Chicago crank is organizing a
society for the determination of cats.
He hopes to rid the world of cats bv
1920. Now if he will extend his field
of operations to include those who
wear skirts, why, we'll join.
Denver has another legal mystery.
This time they are doing fine lob of
stringing out the details. A week
has passed and they don't even know
yet whether it is suicide or a murder.
