the beef-cattle farm, something of the
advantage in the matter of manure
saving held by the intensive dairy
farm. 1t has been shown by farm
management surveys that the manure
saved on the American farm under
present conditions is almost exactly
proportional to the number of animals
stall fed on the farm and that the
manure of animals not stabbed has
very little effect on yields, except in
cases where fields crops are "hogged
off, or otherwise pasturel down, or
where pasture is used in rotation.
This great war has brought home
to us Americans, as it has never been
emphasized before, the fact that we
are the worlds champion wasters.
Without making any comparisons, and
subject to correction if it can be shown
that the facts are otherwise, dare
that our billion-dollar manure waste
is the worlds greatest single econo-
mic leak-the prize waste of the
champion wasters. With commercial
fertilizer scarce, and some of them al
most unobtainable, it would seem we'll
worth our while, in this juncture,
even without any reference to war
conditions, to do everything within
our power to stem this tide of loss,
especially in consideration of the fact
that stable manure is the best form
of fertilizer known, and when we con-
slider further the possible effect of a
billion dollars worth of manure upon
world production at this time when the
solemn duty of saving the world from
famine devolves directly upon us
well, the vital need for manure pits
and feeding lots in this broad land of
our becomes pretty clearly apparent"

tied to Tollefson, Boss, Twomey and
Fussel. Tollefson, Beam and Brian
divided the honors in batting, each
securing three hits out of five times
at bat.
Our boys played ball at the time
when good playing was needed and in
so doing added another game to their
long string of victories this season, by
walloping the Sterlingites in last Sun
days game. Below we publish an ac-
count of the game which appeared
in last Mondays Sterling Evening
Advocate:
1.-TWO conditions stood out as fea-
lures of Sundays ball game at the
fair grounds, when Sterling played
Julesburg. One was player with one
arm and the other was seeming in
ability of Sterling players to use their
heads. The score was IL to 5 in ia
vor of the visitors.
"The fans found much interest and
curiosity in the man in the Julesburg
uniform who was physically handicap
ped as he took position in the field
in the warming-up preceding the
game. The lad, handicapped as he
was, never dropped ball that came
his way and he was quick and sure in
his throwing. But when the game
started this fellow, whose name was
Harrison, wasn't in the lineup. But
he went in in the seventh inning. He
was sent out to relieve the man in
the right garden. Harrison didn't
get any fielding chances, but he made
a hit--a couple of them in fact-when
he came to bat.
ellis second time up, the lad knock
ed liner out into center and three
men crossed the home plate.
"Boisseranc was hit badly and Getz
relieved him in the sixth and the Wis
itors found him also. At various
stages of the game the Sterlingites
seemed to lose all sense of the proper
direction in which to throw the sphere
when they got their hands on it, and
scores were made when they could
have been prevented. The visitors
made an equal number of errors, but
they were not so costly as those made

STAND BEHIND OUR FIGHT
ING MEN OF TO-DAY'S WAR

America to-day is filled with young
men of the country who wear 'tffiiieir
country's uniform and who have Of
fered their lives to the service of their
country. Every city, every town,
every hamlet every country community
has some of its boys in the military
uniform of their country. They are
the very flower of our young manhood
These are the men who are to go to
the battle front. How effective they
will be, depends on the support
their country gives them. The slower

in Europe the more of those Ameri-
cans who are now in France and those
who are soon to join them will suffer
death and the greater number Of
American homes are to be made de-
solate.
1t is not to be believed that some
national catastrophe, some calamity
that will be shameful to us if it comes
from lack of preparation or from our
failure to stand behind our soldiers,
must occur to awaken our people to
their duty.
The soldiers of the United States
are standing by their country with
steady courage and devotion to duty
that should inspire the Nation with
pride and patriotism and loyalty.
Some of them are now facing death
for their people, and participating in
the great battles of Europe to make
the world safe for Democracy, to in
sure our own safety and to vindicate
our honor. We who remain here in
peace and safety must surely do our
part.

be obliged to leave greater percent

France have shown the impossibility
Of influencing economic conditions by

of wheat was fixed at a price equiva-
lent to SI.S5 bushel. in order to avoid

result was a great decrease in wheat

brought better prices than wheat.
