to the actual yield of tops under diff
erent conditions. A common saving
among farmers is that an acre of beet
tops furnishes feed for one steer for
100 days.
IL the average yield of 270O pounds
dry matter per acre, mentioned above
Is obtained. 1t would allow one steer
~ pounds Of dry matter, which is a
little more than usually consumed by
1OO0-pound steer. A common feed
per head per day is 100 pounds OF
pulp and Is pounds of hay, equals
23.5 pounds Of dry matter.
Our agricultural superintendent,
Mr.. Heldt, at Scottsbluff, fed, last
year. 2lO steers with beet tops, hay,
molasses and cake. The tops were
weighed. He obtained two tons from
field averaging 12 tons Of beets.
The steers ate on an average Of 1876
pounds, of dry tops per head per day.
Mr.. Heldt stated that the steers liked
to eat more tops, but II allowed to
they did not gain as much as when
limited to certain amount.
However, leaving aside the wisdom
of allowing the animal to eat such
quantities Of beet tops, 100 days feed
for one steer seems fair expression
of an average yeild.
With dairy herds, which on the
whole are fed more nationally than
other animals, an acre of beet tops
often lasts considerably longer than
100 days, mainly because dairy men
have found out that feeding an ex-
cessive amount of beet tops does not
maintain the maximum production of
milk. The reason for this may be
that tops are too bulky in proportion
to their real food value, so that the
COW, while keeping her stomach filled,
does not get enough nourishment for
maximum production.
A considerable number Of steer
feeders also express the opinion that
beet tops must be fed in limited guam
tlliCo W othSA
feeds in order to get the best results.
FLUCTUATIONS OF YIELD OF
BEET TOPS
There is an impression that some
fields run more to tops than others.
This is true to certain extent. While
big crops OF beets cannot be produced
without big tops, 1t is also true that
the higher the fertility Of the land
the higher is the yeild of tops in pro-
portion to the beets harvested.
The seven year average on Ger
man experimental farm shows the fol-
lowing interesting figures:

About 500 cantaloupes had been
arrived the melons were passed thru
the windows to the boys and they
appreciated the treat. School child
rem aided in passing the melons out.
The band boys did their part by
being in evidence and furnished mu-
sic at the depot, some of the men,
bers coming up from Sugar City to
help in the farewell extended. The
school children sang and the soldiers
to-be heartily cheered them when
they had finished.
The depot platform was lined from
one end to the other with people,
men, women and children being on
hand to see the boys off and the dem
onstration brought the fact more
vividly to view that war was on than
anything which has taken place here
since war was declared.

HARRY LAUDER BACK

Announcement that Harry Lauder,
the Scotch comedian, has returned to
the United States from England, causes
one to wonder whether the famous
Scotchman has lost, through the sor.
sows of war, any of his popular wit and
humor. Lauder, several months ago,
gave up his only son on the field of
battle. OF this boy, his only child, he
often sang:
Oil He s my pride and my joy,
My bonnie, bonnie boy,
An he loves the lassies
Like. his father did before him.
Lauder, widely known for his frugal
ity, had as his life ambition the leav-
ing of his son IA millionaire. Whether
the sorrow, caused to the father by the
death of his boy, will in any way cur
tail the sire s provoking ability,
remains to be seen when he again APP

FINEST ARMY IN THE WORLD

Moscow Star-Mirror: Two views may
be taken of the large percentage of
drafted men rejected for physical dis
qualification to serve in the national
armies. The pessimistic view is that
we are a nation of physical sub-stand-
ards. The optimistic view is that the
physical tests established by the mill
tary medical authorities will give US the
finest army in point of physique that
has ever taken the field. This should
give us great advantage when once
our men go into action; for the reports
from the western front now indicate
that the German reserves are being
drawn from the boys of the empire
whose stamina is insufficient for the
severe work of modern warfare.

GERMANS NOT CONQUERED

That the Germans are not beaten on
land or sea is evidenced by the recent
Teutonic military and naval successes

some ninety war vessels, German mill
tary forces We're landed and succeeded
IN pressing back the Russian troops.
besides disembarking additional sol
diers, with IA huge fleet guarding them
against attack by the Russians.
The success of the Germans in the
Gulf of Riga, following IA notable
advance by the British and French on
the Franco Belgian front, should serve
to convince those who foresee an early
peace of the tremendous amount of work
which still is necessary on the part of
the allies to conquer the foe Those
who have visions of the German people
ready to overthrow the kaiser and the
empire on the verge of collapse, had
better take another look, for the
Teutons, though weakening, are not
ready to submit There is too much at
stake for the Hun to capitulate short
of absolute subjugation.
The war must be continued until a
peace will come which will assure all
peoples and all nations the right to live
and to possess a fair portion of the
world which the Lord created for the
occupancy of His children. Then, and
not till then, will Kaiser Bill come to

Attempt to Escape From Peniten,iary

Jefferson City, Dec. Five dcs
perate convlcts, each armed with
dangerous knives and billies, made ar
unsuccessful attempt to escape from
the penitentiary between and z a.
m. this morning. As result, two OF
them are laid up in the hospital with
broken legs and the others are in sol
itary confinement. 1t was the most
daring attempt of the kind that has
happened at the penitentiary since
tour convicts blew their way out of
prison some twelve years ago.
The plan was to saw out of cell oc-
cupicd by eight convicts last night,
two OF whom did not belong in the
cell, lower themselves with an impro
vised rope from the third story, and
then make their escape over the
walls. They successfully sawed
through the bars of the cell. and one
OF them started down the rope, when
second one tried to follow his ex-
ample. The weight of the two con-
victs on the rope was too much and
it parted. Both convicts had a long
tall, and each broke leg above the
ankle. Some convict in another cell
let out a veil about this time. and two
OF the night guards, Nick Carter and
Jim Hoover, were quickly on the
scene.
