average feed cost of AZ cents a day.
1t is always important to begin the
feeding of cattle early in the season.
Heavy feeding during the last Aonth
Of the winter period cannot make up
for meager feeding in November or
December. While it is economy to let
the stock run on pasture as late as
possible, the supplemental feeding of
rough feeds should begin as soon as
the pasture fails to supply enough to
keep the stock growing. In some sea-
sons wheat pasture is a great source
of feed for wintering stock cattle. In
pasturing wheat provision should al
ways be made to feed the cattle in
the yard when the wheat fields would
be injured by the tramping. This is a
simple matter where feed is stored in
silo, for stock can be changed from
green pasture to silage and back again
to pasture with little difficulty. The
change to dry feed is less easily made.
The most important point in winter
ing stock is to give them such care
and feed as will bring them through
to the pasture season worth more
money than when they went into the
winter. Unless this is done the feed
and labor put into them have been
largely wasted.

The cattle fever tick in the past
las been a source Of great loss in
the southern parts of the country,
where it flourishes. In recent years
the ravages of the insect have been
much curtailed, but it is still a pest.
The Texas steer here shown was
mostly skin and bones before being
treated for ticks. After two months
tick free it had gained over 300
pounds.

The chief utility qualities of the
White Cochin breed of fowls are
based on their production of large

also highly esteemed for large

The hen shown is a White Cochin.

ton Of possibly half a dozen stood up,
showing that sentiment was almost
unanimously favorable.
Some good thoughts were brought
out In the different talks. One was
along the line Of direct benefits. 1t
was shown that the voting Of the
bonds could not raise taxes, for the
reason that the road would pay back
In taxes itself sum sufficient to pay
the interest on the bonds and retire
the bonds in period of years. Many
did not realize the burden of taxa
ton carried by the railroads, and
consequently looked upon railroad
aid bonds as more or less of a dona-
ton and consequently burden. This
fact will cause many to vote for the
bonds who are afraid of high taxes
DR.. Hickok of Santata in his talk
said among other things. that a lum-
Der dealer of his town had made the
statement that should this road be
built he could sell yellow pine for
$3.50 per / 900 feet less than at pres
emit and still leave his regular profit.
The coal dealers would likely tell
much the same story. 1t is highly
probable that the. building of this
line would save the people of this
section on coal alone, enough to pay
the interest on the bonds and retire
them at the end of the term for
which they are issued

ty.

ing Liberal something like $50 miles
closer to the Gulf than present rail-
road facilities bring US. 1t will con-
meet with the main line of the Santa
Fe. the Union Pacific and the N. K.

country, as we'll as our present Rock
Island system. 1t will open new
towns in Seward county. which will
increase land values and bring hun
dreds of new settlers who will add to
the taxable wealth of the county.
There is also one thing that must
not be forgotten. Should we turn
this proposition down at this time it
may be years before it is again
brought up, and every failure makes
it more difficult to succeed. The
county and town needs this line more
than the railroad company needs the
assistance. They tell us frankly that
they cannot raise enough money to
build it, and that If we want it we
must assist them to the extent OF
loaning them our credit. When we
are to be greatly benefited we would
be extremely short sighted to refuse
them.
Everyone is invited to join the
boosting throng. Its members are
increasing daily. Get in and do your
part to make Seward county, South,
west Kansas and Liberal an example
of what intelligent cooperation will
accomplish.
