Practically a Daily at the Price of

The value and need of a newspaper

at hand or yet be far off, it and the
events to follow it are sure to be of

healthy and vigorous, it put them in
the best condition to make good gains
from their grain feed.
1t pays to feed grain on pasture, for
pasture alone will do little more than
keep up a pigs weight. A light to
medium grain ration is usually most
profitable. About two or three pounds
of grain a day is a good ration for
shoats weighing eighty to one hundred
pounds. If you have scales, weigh
your pigs occasionally and feed about
three pounds CT grain daily for each
100 pounds live weight of hogs.
Good rations for summer feeding are
easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa or
rape pasture, feed corn and a little
skim milk. On blue grass or timothy
pasture feed three pounds of skim
milk. to each two pounds of corn.
More milk would do no harm. If
skim milk is not at hand, it will pay
to feed oil meal or tankage with the
corn, where blue grass or timothy pas
ture is used about one part tankage
TO eleven parts corn or one part oil
meal to seven parts corn.

Gets Judgment in Salary Case.

Before Judge S. L. Pattee of Pima County, in the superior court today a judgment in favor of Harry c. Wheeler. sheriff,
 was rendered, which will allow the plaintiff back salary dating back from January 1, 1915, to March 15, 1917, when the new law passed by the last legislature went into effect. When Judge McAlister of Graham county, decided several back salary cases here several months ago. it was generally conceded that the case of the Sheriff would stand favorable chance, although the suit had not been brought at that time. Since then, however, Attorney w. G. Gil more for Sheriff Wheeler filed suit and the result was that the case was decided in favor of the plaintiff and back salary allowed in the sum of S2195. Another case up today. that of County Attorney J. F. Ross for back salary was taken under advise ment by the court.-Prospector.

STATE FAIR EXHIBITS.

There are moro departments in the State Fair this year than every before and everything indicates that each department will have a general represents tion of SurpaSsing excellence. That, however should deter no one from. entering. On the con- trary it should be an encourage ment. The general entries closed on Nov. 3 but live stock and agriculture are held open later, together with some other spe- cials. In point of agriculture there should be a tremendous display this year with counties competing that have never competed before.
 It is understood there are hundreds of fine exhibits shown at the sectional fairs, designed to be sent to the State Fair, the entries for which have not yet been received. HURRY is the big word now. Send in the entries promptly and let the articles follow, textiles and whatever they may be. If the exhibitor can do no better send letter, get the name and nature of the exhibit on the books and get the tags later when the articles arrive. Many of the best ex- hibits are crowded out annually by the thoughtlessness of those who would show had they been prompted at the last minute. Get busy everybody.
 College Gent, Little Jack, Mack Fitzsimmons, Don de Lopez, Zetta Lucille, PotrerC Boy, Bondelin, Annie Lou Espe- ranza, The Proof, all cleaned up big money at Riverside and Sacramento. They are all fast horses and all will show at the State Fair Track, Nov. 12-17.
