MoLAssEs FOR DAIRY STOCK
Especially Valuable Where Cows Are
Not Permitted to Exercise
Replaces Green Feed.

One of the helps Of the livestock
feeder which Is being used more ge'''
orally every day is the crude. or low
grade. molasses from sugar mill.
The value Of the feed has been found
to be not only in the actual nutrition
content, as indicated by the analysis.
but because of its quality-not exact
" succulency. but akin to that-which
makes It an appetizer. Especially Is
It valuable where the cows are not
permitted to run on pasture or where.
they are not permitted to exercise.
The molasses acts both as a digester'
and tonic and takes the place Of green
feed which tends to keep the cows
healthy and increases all their normal
functions, such as the milk producing
powers. Then, too, dairy cows which
are confined In small areas often lose
their appetites, and when they do milk
production naturally drops of. BY
adding little molasses to the ration
they will regain their appetites and be-
sides eat more than they did without
the molasses. which of course in
creases their milk production.

the irrigator were willing to stay
provided you wanted him, would you
ring up the farm bureau to look out
for another irrigator for you, and on
his arrival fire the man who had
brought the crop along to its present
high state Of promise? You know
that you would not do it.
II you were operating a garage and
had q mechanic who had been with
you a good while and was acquainted
with the cars. brought in by your
various customers and knew about
what condition they were in and
about how to remedy the troubles
when they arrived, If he was a man
who protected your interests and the
interests of your customers and was
willing to stay would you fire him
and put in another mechanic who did
not know your customers, nor their
cars and was an untried man in such
work? You know that you wnOuld
not do it. You would know that your
business would be very sure to suf-
fer If you did.
Would you think that the Oregon
Short Line would be doing a smart
thing to fire w. l.. Young, agent, and
put in new man Just to be giving
somebody else chance? Mr.. Young
has been in that position a good
many years and has studied the re-
sources of the country, the individ-
uals and the amount of goods and
stock which they ship from year to
year., He knows the company's
customers and their needs and at any
season of the year he can make up
a budget of the shipping facilities
forst the next two or three months and
inform his company very closely as
to what will be the demands on them
for cars of the different kinds and
when they will be needed. He is an
encyclopaedia of information as to
what will be needed by the Oregon
Short Line in the Blackfoot country.
He has learned that by long service
and experience. Do you think. the
Short Line would. act upon sug-
geStions of people who would say
they thought Mr.. Young had been
there long enough and that somebody
else ought to be given q chance?
They would not. Do you think that
they would be doing a smart thing to
transfer Lon Cone to some other
station instead of keeping him to sell
tickets at the Blackfoot station? He
knows just how much the fare is to
every point UP the line and down the
line for great distances and can sell
tickets and make the change just as
fast as he can handle the tickets and
