STOCK FOOD
hog RAISER SAYS
PRICES CHARGED ARE UN-
WARRANTED-MA HIS
OWN HOG FOOD, WITH
BETTER RESULTS.

''That he is all htrought paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some of
the best hogs ever placed on the mar
ket' was the statement made recently
by E. H. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
M. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, and have topped the
market for several years III Iowa.
He state that for years he bought
.high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explain
ing that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (Which is pure
concentrated minerals and cost only a
couple Of dollars) and mixes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and
especially brood sows require minerals
as they keep them free from worms,
and in the pink of condition, and are
essential to the hogs growth and a
well balanced ration. This inexpen-
sive mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it, will produce far better re-
suits than any high priced so-called
stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells ST..
Chicago, H., and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds. (Adv.)

NAY PROHIBIT
ENFORCEMENT
NULDEI:RGERLAW

MADISON-The Proprietary As
sociation is preparing to take the dry
side in the suit to enjoin the State
Prohibition Commissioner, I. t. Haz-
elberg, from enforcing the Mulberger
law and refusing permits for the sale
of Wine of Pepsin where he has rea-
son to believe that it will be sold for
beverage purposes. The Anti-Saloon
League of America will also join and
assist in defending the Wisconsin
state prohibition code, or Mulberger
law.
The whole question of concurrent
jurisdiction is involved in this suit. If
successful, Wisconsin might be pro-
hibited from enforcing the law at all
The Proprietary Association is an
association of manufacturers of medi
cal preparations and patent medicines.
Their object is to eliminate and sup
press illigitini ate traffic in such pre-
parations for beverage purposes in
evasion of the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead law.
1t became known today that this as
sociaticn and the Anti-Saloon League
Of America have both had investigat
ors in Madison gathering data with
which to assist in defending Commits
sioner Hazelberg and the Mulberger
law. They will cooperate and assist
the Attorney Generals office in every
possible way in defending the suit if
it is brought.
The Anti-Saloon League of America
would welcome such test of concur
rent jurisdiction.

They have now been laid off and are
anxious to return to the farm, with
out asking unreasonable wages.
Visit the employment Office nearest
to you or drop a line to its sgperinten-
dent, if you can use one of these men.
Be sure to give full particulars, if you
write. State what kind of man you
want, the experience necessary, the
nationality and age preferred and
above all what wages you will pay
and how the man can reach your farm.
It is not enough to say that you viii
pay the going wages, because this
varies considerably in different COM
munities.
No efforts viii be spared by EN-
ployment Offices to get the right kind
Of a man for you if you give them an
order Last year the employment Of
fees placed 1858 farm hands, despite
the fact that the drift was away from
the farms toward the cities. We have
on file scores of letters from the farm
ers expressing satisfaction with the
men we sent to them last year. This
year, when there are many more men
who want to work on the farms, it
will be possible to supply ali needs
and to furnish the best kind of help.
No farmer need feel this year that he
cannot get help. Give the employ
ment offices a trial.

WELL SECURED ON
CARSON RANCH

After considerable work and outlay
the Carson Brothers have secured a
well on their ranch in the south end
of Cedar Valley. The well. which is
Of considerable value to them, was
just recently completed. 1t is $50 feet
deep and the bottom hundred feet is
through solid rock There is two
feet and nine inches of water in the
we'll Although a pump was run for
several hours they we're unable to
lower the water more than a few
inches.
A six inch caseing has been placed
down the shaft with a smaller pipe on
the inside Of this. The pump is con
nected to the latter pipe. The water
is said to be clear and pure. Hereto
fore water has been hauled to the
ranch for all culinary purposes.
