Their yield is brought to your grocery or market through the local Armour Branch House. And because the country is dotted with over 400 such Branch Houses, every part of the country has its choice of Americas best foods. You, for example, are not restricted to the varieties this particular section produces.
 That this system of bringing pro- ducer and consumer together is economically right is proved by our long establishment here and else- where. Engaged in the most com petitive of industries, our service must give satisfaction or we could not continue to exist.

THREE DIE FROM PNEUMONIA.
Platte Valley Men Contract Disease in
Rawlins, Where Epidemic Has
Been Raging for Months.

Three well known Platte valley men
have died at Rawlins within the past
few days, all having contracted influ-
enza or pneumonia while at the coun-
ty seat. Albert Anderson of Beaver
Greek passed away last Friday evening,
and Frank F. Butler and Walter w.
Edwards of Saratoga died on Sunday
evening. All the bodies were brought
here for burial in the local cemetery.
Albert Anderson was the son of MA
and Mrs. Nels Anderson, well known
residents of the Beaver Greek neigh
borhood, and was a Woodworking ana
highly respected young man. He had
lately gone to Rawlins to drive a truck
in the freight service between hat city
and the Lost Soldier oil fields, and was
taken ill within a few days after his ar
rival there. His death, following by
only a month the announcement of the
death of his brother, Charles, on the
battlefield in France, is an especially
severe. blow to the family.
Frank f. Butler had spent the past
three years in this vicinity, coming
here from Iowa. He had engaged in
various kinds of teaming work and was
an industrious and likeable man. He
also had gone to Rawlins to engage in
freighting and VAS taken i'll while at
the Baer Oil Company's camp and was
ill four days before being taken to Raw
Inns. He leaves a wife, who is now in
Rawlins; his father, who resides at
atives at the old home of the family in
Fayette, Iowa.
Walter w. Edwards was the young
est son of Mrs. Hattie Kryder of Sara
toga, and was almost a native of this
valley, having lived here almost con
%tinuously FOR the past twenty years.
He was born at Greeley, Colo, and
came here with his parents when but
n small child. He was married at Sun
rise, Wyo., several years 60, and
besides his mother, Mrs. Kryder, inc
two brothers, Warren C. and George
w, the former now residing ut Los
Angeles, Calf, ami the latter at Sara
toga.
The epidemic Of sickness at Rawlins
has been very severe of late and
many deaths are reported. Five persons
besides Messrs. Butler and Edwards
are said to have passed way at the
Rawlins hospital laAt Sunday. A short
8 of physicians and nurses has made
the situation more critical. and proven
tive measures so far adopted have not
been at all successful in combating the
epidemic.
The sympathy of many friends in the
valley is extended to the bereaved fam
lilies.

Congressman Mondell has introduced
in congress a bill providing for a $780,
100000 loan from the Federal treasury
to the reclamation fund in order to pro-
vide for the speedy completion and ex-
tension of present national reclamation
new projects. This bill is similar to
the bill introduced by Mr.. Mondell
which became a law in 1910 and which
provided for a loan of $20,000,000 to the
reclamation fund.
There has been much discussion of
projects for speeding up development
by irrigation and drainage and by the
reclamation of cut-over lands in order
to provide homes I'M opportunities for
returning soldiers and others, and the
current Sundry Civil Appropriation bill
carries an increased appropriation for
examinations of such lands as a basis
for action. Mr.. Mondell's bill, however,
is the first concrete and definite sug-
gestion for an increase of the fund,
which is madea available by law for rec
lamation in the west through irrigation.
The reclamation fund, which consists
of proceeds from the sale of public
lands, is, for the current year. only
about 81, 100, and this sum divided
among the various projects now under
way is not sufficient to provide for
speedy development. If the reclama-
ton fund were made larger through
loans, as provided by this bill, larger
appropriations could be made for pro-
jects now under way and for the TAX
ing up of new projects. Until some
thing of this kind is done, development
of irrigation projects under the recla-
nation law is limited by the mount
of the reclamation fund.
Some such legislation is bound to be
n part of the national program for tax
ing care of the returning soldier boys
and placing ut their disposal public
lands and irrigation water therefor.
Only through the building of a govern
ment reclamation project in this val
ley car we hope for any great improve
ment of this region in the immediate
future, and the attention of our con7
g%ressional representatives and other in
fluential men could be easily attracted
to the most excellent opportunity for

RODENTS IN CHICKEN YARDS
There Should Be No Trouble In Get
ting Rid Of Them by Using Sugar
Of Lead Poison.

Rats cause great losses In many
poultry yards, but there should be no
trouble In getting rid of them by poi
soning with mixture of two parts
cornmeal and one part sugar Of lead.
The hand should not come In contact
with the poison feed. and all other
feeds should be removed so the rats
cannot get them.
The poisoned feed may be kept away
from the chickens by putting 1t In a
tray, nailed to the middle of the bot
tom of board at least foot square
and six inches high. The box should
be closed on all sides except for a
number Of inch-and-a-half holes bored
through the sides near the bottom.
Burn or bury the dead rats so that
chickens cannot eat them. The de-
cayed flesh Of even Imprisoned rats
is likely to cause timber neck, as pto-
maine poisoning is called In chickens.

SELECTING HENS FOR LAYING
Idea That II Fowls Are Compelled to
Mott Early They VIII Lay in
Fall 10 Wrong.

Laying hens should be allowed to
mott naturally. The common idea that
II hens are compelled to mott early
they will quickly feather out and COM
mence laying early in the fall is err
roneous. An early mott Is not a sign
Of early fall production. Usually the
late molting hen Is the heavier produc-
er. In fact lack of feather growth is
suggested by G. w. Hervey of the Uni
versity of Missouri college Of agricul-
ture as one of the points to consider
when selecting hens for winter laying.
Very often show birds are forced
into summer mott by a restriction Of
feed. This is done so that the oirds
may be in full feather once more
for the early show season. This should
never be practiced with utility stock.
1t will cause production to stop and
weaken the hens at time OF the year
when full strength is needed. 1t is
unwise to change the general character
of the feed. The addition of some oil
carrying ingredient, however, such as
sunflower seed, will aid in the develop
ment of new feathers.

FEED ALFALFA TO CHICKENS
Fowls Relish II When Fresh and Crow
ing-PIant Is Rich In Protein
Use Is Limited.

Chickens like alfalfa, but, best of
ALL like 1t when 1t is fresh and grow
ing. 1t is rich in protein and ash
and is readily appreciated even If fed
dried or cured. The greener 1t is
the better they like 1t. Finely
ground alfalfa meal is not so palata-
BILE as that freshly thrown down
from the NOW or taken from the CEN
ter of the stack. When steamed it
makes an excellent food, but contains
a great amount of dry matter which is
indigestible. Therefore its use is linn
tied. One feeding per day is sufficient.
1t can never constitute anything more
than a relish for the birds. A good
grain ration and dry mash ration are
necessary In addition.

Such Indoor Work as Cellar Floors

Indoor concrete. work such as Gel

may be done successfully In winter, If
proper precaution is taken to keep the
concrete from freezing. Fence posts
and concrete blocks may be made sue
cessfully indoors during the winter,
but outdoor work in concrete is not
advisable after the temperature is be-
low 45 degrees. If you have some out
Size concrete work to do In cold
weather, you must keep the concrete
from freezing by heating the ingredi-
ents, using warm water and covering
so they will not freeze.

CHICKENS FOR WINTER EGGS
Careful Selection of Fowls and Get
ting Them Into Good Condition,
Is Best Practice.

Careful selection of the fowls that
are apt to be kept for winter egg pro-
ducing, and getting them into condi-
ton to produce maximum yield of
eggs, will more than repay one for
the time and trouble taken. Not only
is it advantageous from many points
of view, but 1t is necessary If one ex-
poets satisfactory yield Of winter
eggs. The principal reason for max
Ing early selections is to get uniform
fowls of the right age at the right
time, but it is also necessary that
they be properly fed and cared for
so that they be properly brought to
the laying point at the earliest pos
sible date.

To supply this demand for protein
