Late Pasture.

Warm rains and the absence oil
the usual cool weather has made
fall pasture unusually good.
The mistake so commonly
made every fall Of pasturlng un.
til snow falls shall not be made
again this year. This Is paruc
ularly true in pasturlpg the
newly seeded clover. Many a
fine stand of clover is destroyed
by too late pasturing IN the fall.
Under no condition should this
De pastured alter the first OF
November.
Old meadows or well-estab.
lished permanent pastures may
be used up until rough weather
sets in without serious injury TO
the plantation. Where late pas
turing Is made a practice.
shelter from cold rams and
frosty nights should be pro-
vided. TINS Is particularly
true where colts are allowed to
pa sture late IN the fall.
"A good deal of misinforma-
ton exists regarding the value
of late pasture" says DR. j II
Rosenberger, farm ADVISER Of
he Pennsylvar la Department of
Agriculture. "Many farmers
think they save feed by allowing
stock to run out as late as pos
slble. It's true they do, but
too often at the expense Of the
weight of the animals. Often
the splendid gains m ,de ON early
fall pasture are almost all lost
again before the stock are taken
to the yard and put on a winter
ration. Pasture grasses lose
their nutritious value whe the
sap through severe freezug is
driven from the blades Of the
plants into the root system.

KEEP THE DOLLAR AT HOME

The closer home you keep your dol lar the quicker it will come back to you.
 Keep your dollar with the local merchants and you will have more dollars to keep.
 Here is an illustration of what one dollar will do:
 A banker in a western city marked a dollar bill and asked that each transaction in which it was involved be reported to the bank. The dollar paid 128 dollars worth of debts among the home people. One resi- dent reported that the bill passed thru his hands no less than three diff ferent occasions during the week, each time to be passed on it's mission of usefulness.
 This shows conclusively what a single dollar can do if kept at home. It proves beyond the question of doubt the utter folly of sending your money out of town to make your pur- chases. Just think, dear reader, what it means to every one in Valdez, if each dollar you spend pays 12S dol lars worth of debts in one week. Think of the hundreds of dollars in accounts that are carried by Valdez merchants which could be wiped out in a months time.
 Surely the town would be more prosperous and the citizens happier if you practiced this plan.
 Whatever makes for the prosperity of Valdez makes it's citizens happier
 Prosperity and happiness go hand in hand.
 To be prosperous and happy you must do your utmost to advance the interests of the city in which you live
 By trading at home you hasten tht advancement.

T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ is situated at the head of
 = Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold, and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni- ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, a glue factory, a tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com- pany, which also owns a splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites. VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living Is but little higher than in the States.
 Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their quitting port, and drawing from it's reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below -l5 in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over a fine road, through the most magnif- cent scenery on the North Amer. ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 i VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants. and the traveller and miner can be as. sured of comfortable lodgings
 a minimum expense. Parties de string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do so ar our stores far cheaper than in the States with men of experience to help Sc lect their outfits.
