small amount Of grain, or with nitrog-
enous concentrates in connection with
silage and some other cheap roughage
in the form of hay.
The principle that should be avoided
in future feeding operations, accord
ing to the advice Of the department Of
agriculture, is to reduce to minimum
the amount of high-priced feed and to
make judicious use of cheap rough
ages. In other. words, instead of feed
ing from so to 60 bushels of dry corn
per steer in the long feeding period, as
was the custom in the past, the guam
tity should be, and may be profitably,
reduced to Is to 20 bushels in short
er feeding period, or the dry corn grain
can be eliminated altogether, as the
liberal use of good quality silage will
furnish an excellent ration. The use
of cottonseed meal, linseed meal or
other protein-rich feed, even though
high in price, is to be highly recon-
mended, because the higher other feeds
are, the more profitable becomes the
use of a protein supplement. Expen-
sive hay may be completely eliminated
in the ration by the use of cheaper
dry roughage such as corn slower,
coarse hay or straw.
The department believes that by
avoiding too heavy feeding and too
high finish, and by following the sug-
gestions given above, feeders should
be able to feed cattle at profit in
spite of the high prices of feed and
labor. The recent statement of the
United States food administrator, and
the available reports from foreign
countries, indicate that there may be
great increase in the demand for
beef, which is encouraging to the cattle
feeders of this country, and especially
those who suffered losses during the
past feeding season.

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that SO many people claim, it fulills al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur.
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.-Adv.

INCREASE SH0RT-FED CATTLE
To Save Feed, Department of Agricul-
ture Advises Against Too High
Finishing of Animals.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In view of the unfortunate expert
ence last winter of some feeders of
heavy cattle, the continued high price
Of grain and the uncertainty of a con-
tinuation Of good prices which we'll
finished heavy carcasses now command,
the United States department of agri-
culture believes that feeders should
concentrate their efforts on the produce
ton of economically short-fed cattle.
Of course, this statement does not re-
fer to baby-beef production, which Is
speciality within itself.
There is no question that for the
last several years cattle feeders have
been making beef too fat; that is,
they have put more finish upon the
animals than economy would justify.
This idea was evidently in the minds
of the advisory committee of agri-
cultural and live stock producers APP
pointed by the department of agricul-
ture and the food administration when
that committee recently made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
eve feel that cattle marketed at
the present time in class A Qong-fed
or export and highly finished cattle),
and known as exports owing to the
high costs of labor and feed, are not an
economical product, and their produc-
ton should not be encouraged"
NOT only has the advisory commit
tee thus warned against the heavy
feeding Of cattle, but it is also under
stood that the government officials d.
recting the buying policies of the gov
eminent will not consider themselves
responsible for the prices Of very fat
cattle.
Recent experiences by various state
experiment stations and the United
States department of agriculture have
borne out the fact that good beef can
be produced by using relatively
