NORTH DELTA FARMER PROFITS
BY FEEDING BEET PULP

While there are many farmers in
this section who have fed more or
less beet pulp the past season with
good results, the case of o. D. Macau'
ley, of North Delta, is the best that
has come to our attention.
Mr.. Macauley not only fed pulp to
his herd of dairy cows. but fed up
all his tops as we'll. He has about As
head of stock all told and has his feed
lot arranged SO that there is always
an ample supply Of pulp that the
stock has access to. besides plenty
of straw and running water His
experience is perhaps operated on the
largest scale of any in the county,
feeding over ton day. The milk
COWS are given small quantity of
hay and grain at night. The COWS
bring him in over $500 per month
and it is needless to say that the cows
are about the best paying end of his
ranch business.
While this is his first year in feed,
ing pulp, Mr.. Macauley believes that
a little syrup for the hay in ad-
dition to feeding pulp would prove
even more profitable and be the cheap
est feed on the market.
The Independent would be glad to
devote space to others who have fed
pulp and the results that have been
accomplished

robberies in the police records OF New
York was perpetrated, was used in

photodrama of it's kind ever produced.
II is being shown at the Criterion

The director in charge of the
picture made city-wide search of
the docks and piers to find a dock in
which there was an aperture to the
open water of the river below. He

remembrance of the robbery enabled
Mr., Brabin to locate just the place he
was wanting, and so the pier, as well
as many of the details of the actual
