STOP CONDUCTOR
FROM HANDLING
COMPANY'S CASH

The Tri-Citv Railway company
has probably made the most uH-
popular move in its career in deal
ing with the public, in the adoption
of a cash receiver to be placed Oh
the entrance platforms of its cars,
by means of which ii not only
places an imputation on the non
esty Of it's conductors but involves
an unnecessary hardship on rs
patrons. A patent device known as
a cash receiver is to be Installed
into which the patron must deposit
the exact change for his ride

driver was the whole works. mule

box and general car tender
On several previous occasions
promoters have attempted to have
the so-caIled time savers" in
stalled on the street cars but with
out success. The company has al
ways denied the requests Of the
concern manufacturing the devices.
Today officials OF the company
announced that an order had been
placed for $50 Of the cOntriyances
which are designed to prevent the
conductors from touching the prec-
ious coin which the company IS
wont to collect
The machines only WORK a hard
ship on the patrons. Patrons are
required to have the exact change
ready and in case they do not have
"jitney" they must appeal to the
conductor for change. After Sc
curing the necessary sum they
then proceed 10 drop : cent piece

can hardly expect to raise its fare

method Of deanl,--g the ground pre-
paratory to blowing. This system IL
most largely practieed wh>a ere the corr
is snapped, or husked, In he nelo
leaving the stalks standing.
Another great waste that can wei
be stopped Is the failure to utilize the
large area Of grass along our roads,
lanes, and fence rows. Sheep would
utilize this waste and remove one Of
flhe greatest breeding places Of inju-
lrials farm insects. The lower leaves
of the corn plant, which usually go to
waste. as well as the cut-over grain
and Ihay fields, also offer considerable
iced to farm docks.
Practical experience as well as ex-
D erimenta1 work has taught that straw
and slower can be used very econom-
fcSlly In the rations of almost all kinds
OF live stock. These roughARes are
and should be used In the fattsping
raticns Of all farm animals except
hogs, and should compose the larger
part OF all wintering or keeping ra-'
lions for cattle, sheep, and hOrses.
Breeding herds Of beef cattle or dry
dairy COWS can be successfully kept
on rat1onS composed largely Of these
Flocks Of breeding ewes
do well with such feeds when some
grain Is added. Horses doing very
fdszt or no work need little grain IL
given a plentiful allowance Of clean,
hfight straw or stover. Under certain
eef AoErse. grain should be
added TO the rssti0p. but now 1t should
be conserved As lszsAlx a. possible for
humnn consumption.

In voting for candidate for office,
the voters should cast their ballot for
a man, who, in the past, has worked
for their interests. We know of no
thing of more vital Importance to the
farmers of Dawson County than the
completion of the Great Northern
Railway from Richey westward thru
the county. Knowing the Importance
of this, j. A. Rainey, at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, introduced
and secured the passage of resolu-
ton petitioning the United States
Cover ument to complete this railroad.
All of the subscribers will recall the
publica lion of this resolution, which

candidate for the Office of Clerk and
Recorder of Dawson County, and
every farmer of Dawson County
should vote for him.

RATI0NS FOR FARM ANIMALS
More Effective Use Of By-Products Of
Crops Offers Opportunity for
Meat Production.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The misuse Of the by-products o
farm crops is causing American farm
ers to lose millions Of dollars annu
ally. Nothing offers greater opportu
nifty for increased and more econom
ical production Of farm meats ant
dairy products than by the more eft
fective use of such products. To brinl
our farming operations up to the high
est possible state Of efficiency, al
farm by-products must be used in al
economical manner. Nearly all man
ayers Of the great Industries Of thii
country have learned that by-products
constitute very large source Of their
income and about all the profits
Farming is the greatest industry In
this country to-day, but farm by-prod.
ucts have received very little atten.
ton from the average farmer. Now,
however, conditions are such as to
urge the conservation Of every avail
able farm resource and every Amer
lean farmer must make study of
conditions existing on his own farm
with the idea of utilizing such prod
ucts as are now being wasted.
1t is estimated that the total amount
of eera stoyer and straws burned,
plowed under, allowed to rot In stacks,
and wasted in other ways is worth
over 500, 100000. This is an appalling
loss, and if these feedstuffs were useu
in the feeding Of cattle, sheep, and
horses it would result in greatly in
profits to individual farmers
as we'll as tend to increase the supply
Of meat and dairy products.
The burning Of straw, even though
the ashes leave small quantity of
additional mineral matter In the soil,
results In an almost total loss. It Is
)racticed most largely in the west,
mainly because Of custom rather than
inability to purchase, feed, or market
neat-producing animals. The people
here have come to believe that straw
S of no value because In that section
t has never been used for anything.
In some Of the western states a cam
)aign has been made by the colleges of
agriculture and institute workers to
get farmers to use a portion Of their
waste straw for spreading over their
grain fields.
1t is needless to say that burning
he slower is great waste, although
t seems to offer quick and easy
