In discussing the feeding tests Just
completed at the Experiment Station,
Prof. Cochel pointed out that the sys-
tenn of feeding corn and eottonseed
cake along with roughage to breeding
heIfers has made it practical for them
to produce calves at two years old
instead of three. GA big lesson that
every cattleman must learn is that
the cheapest gains are made on grass
IN summer. Then it pays to have
pleanty of cheap home grown forage
TO keep stock IN good condition
through the winter
The use of sweet sorghums, pre-
ferably Red Amebr, for silage was
emphasized in Prof. Calls talk
Raise Pink Kafir with Dwarf Black
Hulled Kaf1r and Feterita as possible
substitutes" he advised. ''Where
wheat has failed many acres of sor-
ghums should be planted this spring.
The stockmen were so pleased with
the Hereford song that Hollis Logan
sang, that he was urged to repeate it

sTockMEN HOLD BIG ROUND UP
Fort Hays Experiment Station Enter
tains Crowd of 1900

A crowd of 1900 people represent
ing twenty-three counties of the state
as well as several adjoining states at
tended the Fort Hays Experiment
Station Round Up Thursday
The large crowd of people and the
distance from which many came, go to
show the large amount of interest the
farmers of Western Kansas have in
the work being carried on at the Ex-
pertinent Station. By eight o'clock
in the morning the people began to
come and from that time on there
was steady stream of them through
out the day.
The visitors arriving at the Station
during the morning were directed at
once to the experimental feed lots
to see the 327 head of cattle and
mules that have. been under test since
December 2. Each pen was labeled
with the name of the experiment,
the beginning and closing weights of
the ANIMALS, and the amounts and
costs of feed used in Wintering them.
The test attracting most attention
was that of developing breeding heif-
ers. In this experiment the value
of feeding grain in addition to rough
age IN developing an animal for early
breeding is brought out in comparison
with-animals feed on roughage alone
One of the popular features OF the
day was the free lunch served at
noon. At twelve o'clock the doors
of the big stone barn were thrown
open and the crowd invited to pass
through. Station raised steer and
hogs had been killed for the occasion,
and this along with cured hams, big
piles of buns and bread, and barrels
of coffee furnished big lunch for the
crowd.
Following the lunch the stockmen
were taken to the Fort Hays Normal
School auditorium for the following
program. In the absence of Pres.
E Waters, Dean Jardine of the Kansas
State Agricultural College presided.
At the beginning of the program
Dean Jardine called upon Pres. W. A.
Lewis of the Fort Hays Normal, who
4 told the visitors of the work of his
school

'Purebred cattle are preferable to
common stock" said Mr.. Cochran,
who has been raising purebreds in Ell
lis and Rocks counties since 1902.
''Purebreds cost a little more to feed
and require little more care, but it
pays when yearling bull brings $500,
to $500" Two important points in
Mr.. Cochran's farm practice are, 1st,
the use of silos filled with home
grown sorghums or corn; and End,
feeding all wheat straw instead of
burning it.
In a stirring address discussing the
national crisis as well as the cattle
out look, Ex-Governor Stubs, ex-
posed the enormous profit exacted by

AGED WOMAN IS
FOUND DEAD IN BED

Mrs. Judy Brock, about rs years
of age, was found dead in he'd
Thursday morning by members of
her family at her home in the Public
Wells vicinity. Evidently Mrs. Brock
expired some time early in the night
without a struggle.
The aged lady had been a sufferer
from heart trouble for many months,
and for the past several weeks her
condition at times was alarming, but
on Wednesday night, when the fam
lily retired, she appeared to be about
as usual. Mrs. Brock was the sister
of Mr.. John James, residing north of
Dresden, and surviving her are six
children, one of whom, Mr.. John
Brock, lived with her.
The body will be inferred today

EIGHT LEAVE FOR
CAMP GORDON, GA.
The IS Negroes from This County 10 Leave
at EARLY Date. John Jennings Made
Captain Of Those Leaving Sunday.

Eight more of Weakley's noble
sons left Dresden last Sunday after
noon for Camp Gordon, near Allan
ia, Ga. Mr.. John R. Jennings, of
Greenfield, was made captain of the
contingent. Those leaving were
VIM. H. Bomar, John r. Jennings,
Henry Holt, Greenfield; Everett Car
ter, Martin; S, Otto Price, VIM. R.
Halbrook, Dresden; Hollis Camp
bell, Roger Pryor, Sharon.
This fills Weakley's quota of PTS,
with the exception of the SO negroes
to go from this county, and Mr.. E.
E. Mitchell, chairman of the local
Exemption board, informs us that
the negroes will be sent at an early
date, perhaps within ten days.
Many citizens from over the coun-
ty assembled here Sunday to bid the
boys God-speed and see them off,
and when the train pulled into town
many sad scenes were enacted. The
young man, Halbrook, seemed loath
to leave his young wife, to whom he
had been married but short time,
and his grief was pitiful, indeed.

DEATH OF A NO.
BILE YOUNG MAN

Clarence Gardner, 80 years of age,
died early Saturday morning at the
home of his father, Mr.. Roe Gard
ner, near Hyndsver, after a short ill
ness. The remains were inferred on
Sunday at Oak Hill, where appropri-
ate services were held.
Clarence came home last Tuesday
from Detroit, Mich, where he had
been at work for some time. He was
sick upon his arrival home and had
been sick for a month before com
ing home. All that loving hands
could do was done to restore him,
but to no avail. Clarence was a most
exemplary young man. He was NOR
al, upright and industrious-one of
the most devoted and most consider
ate boys of his mother in the neigh
borhOOd. Three brothers and one
sister are left to share the grief and
sorrow Of the mother and father
and many bereaved friends.
