Wastcfui Feeding.

Now that corn is abundant in the
west, much of it will be wasted by care
less feedsng. When corn is worth 80
or 40 cents per bushel it is fed with
good deal of care. but when the price
falls below 20 cents it is fed not only
lavishly, but much of it is actually
thrown away. The waste in feeding
hogs on some farms is utterly inexcus-
able. Enough is wasted in a few weeks
by throwing it in the mud to buy boards
for floor that will last for years, says
the Nebraska Farmer. Some farmers
have the idea that all that is needed 10
feed hogs is to shovel out enough corn
to last two or three days.
1t is quite true that corn Is likely to
be low. The word has gone out that
the west has a crop of uneXampled mag
nitude. This is mistake. The crop
is good one, but there have been bet
ter. Low prices for the time will re-
suit from this over-estimate, and at
these prices corn will be as good prop
erty as government bonds, 1T IL IA fool
ish and utterly ineXcusable thing to
waste it because it is plenty and cheap.

UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.
Dickinson Succeeds Kimball, Who is
slated for Vice President.


Slated for Vice President.
Another change is to be made in the official
roster of the Union Pacific which means the
retirement Of Thomas l.. Kimball from the
general mauagership, and the appointment of
Edward Dickinson, now assistant general
manager, as his successor. The department
of assistant general manager, now filed by
Mr.. Dickinson, will be abolished. II has
been decided to extend the jurisdiction of c.
5. Mellen, traffic manager, over the entire
system and confer on him the title of general
traffic manager. The heads of all the traffic
and supply departments will report direct TO
the vice president The duties of the gen
eral manager will be to superintend the OPP
Grating department, and all division superin-
tendents, superintendent of motive power
and heads of the operating departments will
report direct to the general manager.
The retirement of MIR. Kimball from the
managership does not mean that he will
sever his connection with the company. On
the contrary, according to the latest advices
from Boston. the Office of third vice presi
dent is to be created and he will be ap-
pointed to that position. His duties will be
of an advisory nature, and while he will
make his headquarters here, his business
transactions will be confined to the Boston
Offices.
The above changes, which were published
exclusively in THE BEE of last evening, will
be officially announced in few days.

the appreciation in which she is held
by the public. After Mrs. Burnett, A.
