EDrroR NAH BEE:

OMAHA, July 2.
EDITOR OMAHA BEE:
Hogs may be successfully and
probably raised in Nebraska; but
not under the usual treatment
which 1 have observed. They are
generally kept up i'm small pens
which are either very wet and
muddy or else very dry, dusty and
hot. Hogs cannot endure this.
They must have a COOL damp place
and something green to eat. Pork
cannot be made in Nebraska on
corn alone; it is TOO expensive.
During the spring and summer hogs
must have their living ON some
thing green. Large pastures Of low
damp land where artichokes
and other roots r plenty, are the
best.
The difficulty Is the expense OF
fencing. Most small farmers ny
they are too poor to fence, and they
shut up their hogs in little dry pens.
This will make q poor man poorer.
better have no hogs at all.
Let me suggest a partial remedy:
Make q strong movable post, and
| board fence, which can be pulled
from place to place over the grass,
| with q team. There should be q
roof of some kind over q part, to
shade the hogs from the hot SUN,
which they ealpot endure. IN this
way your hogs will thrive, and the
saving Of corn will soon pay for the
fence.
I have had long experience In
shesp-raising in Ohio and Illinois,
and have made some observations
in Nebraska. l have seen several
lots of sheep in Nebraska that were
| fed exclusively on hay all winter
with no grain whatever-and they
are in good condition. Sheep will
do better without grain in Nebraska
than in Ohio or Illinois, on account
of the dryer air, and because u
hardly ever rains here In winter,
The grasses of Nebraska are substan'
tial ; the earliest grass Of spring pro

Sheep in Ohio g thin IS these put

No animal pays better for speeia

RAILROAD

In defeating CrOunsps oii W eaA
Union Pacific lands, without pro-
yiding that Delano should issue the
patents to them, Senator Hitchcock
did the right thing at the right time,
and in the right way. Il was rather
bad for the Judge, out it was just in
itself, a. we did not hesitate to de-
clare when the measure was pend
ing the House of Representatives.
Our people labor under a DANA
rins delusion when they adopt the
theory that il benefits them to en-
barrass and burden the Union Pa
-cffc Railroad Company with taxa
ton. We shall never doubt that,
for the State of Nebraska, for the
citv of Omaha and the county of
douglas, and for all other cities and
counties, the really wise policy
would be 10 assess and tax all the
taxable properties of all railroads
within these State boundaries at the
lowest valuation which the law will
allow.-Her0td.
The views of the Herald touching
the merit Of Senator Hitchcock's
defeat of Crounss's bill to tax rail-
road lands, are not shared by the
BEE. We believe railroad COM
NAMES who have land subsidies
from the General Government
should pay taxes just the same as
any other class of landowners.
Instead of being bad for the Judge
the defeat of the bill is likely to re-
act upon the Senator. We do not
believe the people Of Nebraska de-
sire to embarass the Union Pacific
or any other railroad with taxation.
All they demand is that these cor
lporations shall share the burden Of
taxation with all the other property
owners in the State. We do not
believe it to be a wise policy for
the people of Douglas county or any
other county to discriminate in
favor Of railroads, nor would We adj
vocate discrimination against
them. Taxation to be just must be
impartially levied upon all classes.
According to the Herald, low rail
nd taxes would lead to low rail-
way and passenger fares. This
naypossibly be true, but why should
- 6tnae discriminate against other
-16E1ant interests that are COM
70 pay heir full share oftaxes?
fxamtfting that it takes q hard
struegie to make railroads selfasus-
taininx in anew country, we would
ash whose fault is ite Did not the
Government furnish ample encour-
asement to these roads?
Was not their impecuniou condi-.
ton brought-about by the Credit
Mo6dlier blood-suckers who squan-
derea1and gambled away millions
of dollars which should have been
laid sway for hard times?
The taxation of unsold and nm
natented railroad lands may work q
hardship upon the Company, but
their exemption works a greater
hardship upon the people who are
compelled to pay all the taxes in

TIE public debt statement for

The slighter the better until times

The public debt stAtemenfo on July
lst shows q decrease Of over two
millions during the month Of June,
which is above.the average decrease
of any similar period since 1872.
Inasmuch as this decrease has SIM
ply been q, reduction Of the bonded
interest bearing debt Of the country,
the BEE fails to observe wherein 1t
can have any bearing upon hard
times. On the contrary, the ability
of the Government to cancel any
portion of the Understanding pub
lie debt, without increasing public
taxation, Is q gratifying evidence OF
economy ia the public service. Il
