PUT YOUR SHOULDER 10 TIE WHEEL
There is a spirit of antagonism mani
tested toward the efforts of the Good
land board Of trade by many citizens
who seem to believe that the organiza-
ton has some sorded motive in its en-
deaYor to do something for Sherman
county and Goodland. Every move it
has made has been met #ithsah HRex-
plieable suspicious opposition from a
certain class. This should cease at
once. The organization is composed Of
the leading citizens and business men
OF the county who have the best inter-
ests of the county at heart and are
working hard for its advancement.
Then, too, some seem to believe, that
there is a political coup d'etat at the
bottom of the organization. But this
IFS mistake. Political differences have
been laid aside and all are working for
Goodland and Sherman county. The
sefeteness of the past two years have
left the county in a bad shape for seed
8nd the promising outlook demands
that urgent steps be taken to remedy
this defect. The association is doing
all in its power to do this. There is a
movement on foot at the state capitol
blocking to the creation of several state
institutions and selecting sites there
for, and the organization is working
for one of them, also. Steps are being
taken to secure a part Of the immi-
grafton, that will flow into the west the
coming summer, for Sherman county
What is for the benefit of one is for
ithe good of all, and the citizens of this
county should be a unit in the struggle
for the supremacy of Sherman county.
Drop your unjust suspicious and put
your shoulder to the wheel.

THE - - HOG.

The Armour Packing conIpany Of
Kansas City has been making SEXES
Of practical tests to determine the
quality of the wheat fed hog and
availability for packing. Tests made
at the Kansas agriculture college. and
also by farmers, have shown that there
is more money for the farmer, o. the
present basis OF hog values, in feeding
wheat to hogs than there would be to
sell it on the market at 20 or 80, or even
60cents per bushsL But a test which
was completed at Aymour's also de-
monstrated beyond question that a
wheat fed hog would dress out as~Wefl,
if not trife better than the com fed
hog. p
The test WAS made with II hogs that
had been fed on wheat. Their total
weight was 1890 pounds, or an aver
age of 251 pounds each, and they dress
ed out 12,338 pounds of meat, or 1924
per cent Of their live weight. This is
considered very satisfactory and is a
strong argument in favor of feeding
wheat to hogs. During the week of
Sept. % the house run Of 1913 hogs at
Armour's showed a percentage Of 1888,
while it is said the house run in eight
weeks has not gone below &c per cent,
nor higher than SO per cent.
On basis of this test, packers gen
orally viii accept the wheat fed hog as
being the equal in every way, if not
superior, to the corn fed hog, and the
farmers who have been bewaiIing the
low price of wheat will extract a good
deal of satisfaction in the thought that
they can realize more money out of
their wheat by feeding it to the swine
than by selling it on the market at the
prevailing low prices.

To Produce Sure Crop Use the sub-Soil
Plow.
A number Of experiments in subs0il
blowing by Younger Bros, the we'll
known horticulturists of Geneva, Neb.,
have shown such astonishing results as
to practically demonstrate two things:
first, that in seasons of normal rainfall
the increased yield on land that has
been subsoil plowed, as compared with
that which has received ordinary pillow
ing, will of itself pay leave larger
margin Of profit besides, and second,
that in years Of extreme drouth a boun-
tiful crop is assured, that would be
considered large for a season of normal
rainfall, so that in very seasons the
difference between subsol blowing and
ordinary blowing may be expressed as
the difference between q good crop aud
none at all. The Younger Bros, be
Heving that the results obtained by
them we're remarkable enough in the
light of their Importance to the farm
ers OF Nebraska, made a special report
to the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington, from which We quote:
Having practieed sHbsoil blowing

mental trees, with gratifying results.
VS. concluded to experiment with grain
and vegetables. After preparing the
ground by subsoil blowing in the fall
Of 1892, the crop of 1898 consisted Of
corn and potatoes. Corn that year be-
ing only a very moderate crop in this
vicinity maximum 40 bushels per acre.
and the average not to exceed 70 hush-
els per acre, We harvested a crop OF 70
bushels per acre from a strip Of ground
that had been SUBSIDIZED. The potato

ordinary cultivation, will yield 10 to 10
bushels per acre the average crop IN
der the adverse conditions that pre-
vailed), in each instance the seed, soil
and planting being identioally the
same.
"Ehe superiority of subsoil blowing
is especially CONSPICUOUS in the length
of straw and stand on the ground.
+ THE results of experiments with
corn and potatoes cannot, at this time
be determined. With a continuation
of the present favorable conditions we
will have the largest yield of corn we
have ever had. Even under these fay
orable conditions the corn on subsoil
pIOwed ground seems to possess an ele-
ment of strength, that will, in all prob
ability, exert its influence III demon
strating the value of subsol cultiva-
ton"
The plan followed by Younger Bros,
has been to first turn over a furrow to
the depth of eight inches in the ordin-
airy way, and then run the subsoil pillow
in that furroW gagged to a depth Of six
or eight inches; thus stirring up the
soil to a depth of Il to l6 inches. In
speotiOn shows that even after our re-
cent remarkable drouth, the nursery
stock, as we'll as the field crop Of
Younger Bros, bears every appearance
of a healthy and more than ordinary
yield.
The results achieved by subsoil plow-
ing require but once such blowing in
about three years, 50 that the increased
cost of labor, as compared with results,
is merely nominal Western Trail.

STUDENTS of criminOlogy and psy-
chology will find interesting material
in the case of Defaulter Samuel Seoley
Of the Shoe and Leather bank of New
York. Seeley was a bookkeeper on a
salary 81, 800 a year. The affairs of the
institution we're so loosely managed
that he was enabled to steal S354.0OO
and make his escape before the short
age was discovered. And yet the man
who was sharp enough to rob a great
metropolitan bank of S354,OO0 and es-
cape the vigilence of the New York de-
tectives and police went directly to
Chicago, foated about there aimlessly
for two weeks and betrayed himself to
a total stranger whom he CHANGED to
pick up on the street, The best medi-
cal authorities in the world are prac-
tically agreed that it s absolutely i'm
possible for a human mind to keep a
great secret long and not break down
in insanity OR confession. Seeley was
unable to keep his secret longer and
his first c0nfdant betrayed him.
