Steers Receiving Supplementary Cot
tonseec Cake on Pasture Gained
1873 Pounds Apiece Daily.

butchered inspection showed that the
steers which were fed cottonseed cake
or mixture OF cake and corn with
pasture dressed out higher than the
cattle which had pasture alone.
While the steers that had pasture
alone made gains cheaply, the total
gains were not large, and the steers
did not take on II high finish. Their
unfinished condition Is reflected in the
small margin on which they were sold
and low dressing percentages. Thus
the profits they returned were smaller
than for the steers In the other two
groups.
The cost of gains of steers on pas.
ture is greatly increased by feeding
cottonseed cake, II was found, but the
better market price received for cake
fed cattle usually pays for the add
tional cost OF feeding cake, and re-
turns a greater average profit than
is realized on the grass-fed cattle. One
OF the distinct advantages OF supple
menting pastures for concentrates If
the fact that steers so handled can be
finished more quickly and can be mar
keted earlier than steers getting grass
alone. Thus the cattle can be sold be-
fore the rush OF CRASHED cattle gluts
the market and depresses prices.
Moreover, when cattle are marketed
early, the pastures have time 10 re-
cuperate and furnish good grazing for
other stock during the fall.
There is only one case, says the bull
letin, when pasture alone is prefera-
BILE to pastures with concentrates.
Steers OF inferior quality may return
more profit by grazing alone than by
grazing with the addition OF supple
mentary feeds, especially when they
are on good pastures that are cheap.
Scrub steers do not respond readily
TO the use OF good feeds, ana even
when we'll finished do not command
satisfactory prices In competition with
well-bred cattle similarly finished. The
better the quality of the steers, the
safer 1t is to give them high-priced
feeds.

The Curfew Bell

Cover the embers.
And put out the light:
Toll comes with the morning.
And rest with the night

All footsteps retire.

No sound in the hall!

Sleep and oblivion

THEY MARVEL

Friends Of Mrs. Shields Greatly
Astonished by Her Rapid
Improvement.

b. II. Elder, NJ. d. with offices at
40 Schradzki Building, Peoria, ILL.,,
comes out with his unqualified en-
dorsement Of Tanlac.
DR.. Elder graduated from Butler
University of indianapolis, Ind, later
took a post graduate course at Rush
College, Chicago, and has also stud
led abroad.
He has been in active practice over
forty years-twenty-five years in Pc
oria-and is one of the best known
physicians of that city.
$50 far as my knowledge goes"
said DR.. Elder in an interview recent
Iy, medical science has never produc-
ed a medicine that brings results like
Tanlac. 1t is altogether too good
to keep from suffering humanity and
have been prescribing it in my prac-
tice for some time with remarkable
results.
"For years | had suffered from sto-
mach trouble and rheumatism and
had devoted my best thought trying
to find relief. but all to no avail.
Right after eating, gas woulud form
in nv stomach and affect my heart,
causing poor circulation, cold hands
and feet, dizzy spells, spots before
my eyes, peculiar feelings, terrible
headaches, AMI cramps in my stomach.
The rheumatism was the kind that is
caused by uric acid deposits in the
blood, which find their way into the
Joints, and the pain was so great that
I could hardly stand to move my legs
and arms.
$50 it's no surprise that / devoted
lots of time and thought, using all
my powers, trying to free myself
of these troubles. But nothing / ever
found until | got Tanlac afforded me
more than a little temporary relief
And here is how found out the pow
ers of Tanlac: / had patient who
had suffered for years with the same
kind of troubles and while did all
could for him, the same as for my
self, he failed to improve any. Well
this party come to my Office ose day
after having been away for about sis
months, an never in all my life saw
a man look in better health or seen
to feel better. While sitting there IL
my Office he told me Tanlac was wha
brought about the wonderful change
/ could not doubt it. for / knew VIVA
an awful condition he had been in
and | made up my mind then ant
there to try Tanlac in my own case
So / did and the results are that
few bottles relieved me entirely o
stomach trouble and rheumatism AM
all my other ailments as well. | an
an extra hearty eater, especially o
meats anil such foods as often pro
duce bad effects. but none Of thes
things disagree with me any more
So, now as / have discovered the valu
of Tanlac l am ready to honor it a
one of the most beneficient of all med
icines. l have prescribed it, in case
of rheumatism, kidney and bladde
troubles and a run down condition
with wonderful results. | feel tina

humanity, to give my experience wit
Tanlac to the general public"
Tanlac is sold in Cedar Sity by tn

18TH 1917 and made this somewhat startling statement:
'In this latter day farming has become
cupaton for profit and l happen to know that
under normal conditions dollar wheat makes
very profitable occupation. Perhaps not to the
farmer who farms the farmer, but it is to the
farmer who farms the farm"

this measure which the three of it's operation has
thousands Of small farmers from the clutches of the
loan sharks enabled thousands of tenant farmers to
buy their own land as he in the fixing of reasonable
price for wheat in the food control bill, but he
doubtedy on the side of the mortgage banker
Senator Harding opposed the farm bill and he ad
vocaed dollar wheat for the farmer There need for the
farm loan BILL the farmers knew this themselves for under
its operation these benefits gained:
One hundred >and twenty five thousand and
three individual loans totaling $356,616,O41, made
in three years existence of the system.
Loans made on basis Of 51s% without COM
mission.
Debts amortized at the end of "a years with
out the necessity Of renewal or danger Of fore

Placed landless men on their land about
20 per cent of the borrowers having been tenants.
Enabled farm borrowers to obtain money at
lower interest than great corporations.
Lowered, established and made more uniform
interest rate on farm loans generally
Rescued the small farmer from the clutches
