FUEL value OF CORN.

While IL is to he deplored that corn is
so low and the market so restricted that
farmers in certain parts of Nebraska
and surrounding states prefer to use corn
as fuel rather than dispose of it at the
price offered, yet if he is really the
gamer he cannot be blamed for pur-
suing that course. Each farmer must
necessarily decide for himself whether
for his purposes corn or coal is the
cheaper fuel. At the same time the pos
sibilities of corn as fuel can be deter
mined only by exact experiments under
conditions that permit of accurate OBJ
selvations.
In this connection the data supplied
by bulletin just issued from the
University of Nebraska Experiment
Station giving the comparative re-
suits of carefully made tests are interest
ing and pertinent. For one test, Il good
grade of this years yellow dent corn on
the ear and not thoroughly dry was
burned under n boiler and the amount
of water evaporated recorded; for the
other the same boiler was heated with
screened Wyoming coal and Il similar
record kept. one pound of coal evapOr-
ated 10 times as much water as one
pound of corn. In other words, 10 times
as much heat was liberated in burning
one pound of coal as in burning one
pound of corn. The coal used cost SG.Go
per ton. With coal selling at this price
and worth 10 times us much for fuel
as an equal weight of corn the fuel
value of the latter would be $3.50 per
ton, or 1925 cents per bushel.
The following table shows how much
coal is worth per ton when its heat
ing power is the same as that used
in the experiment and when corn is
selling at n certain price per bushel:

We have completed the Investigations
of all matters brought before us and of

thereof.
We visited the county Jail and found
1t and the prisoners we'll taken care of.
We, however; recommend that a separ-
ate apartment for women sent to Jail be
provided. 1t the present building is too
small an addition ShnI1lh no nrQ0fo6
Further, that the floor in said Jail
which was torn up by prisoners, be
securely replaced. Also, that folding
iron hunks be provided for all cells.
We also recommend that the jail
prisoners be put to work on the county
roads.
The different county offices were also
visited and found in good condition.
We, however, recommend that a new
book case for the county clerks office
and a new safe for the county collec-
tors office be provided. BY looking
around we found some of the iron shut
tiers of several Office windows missing
and recommend that they be replaced.
AT a visit to the county poor farm we
found everything except the coloreo
department i'll fair condition. The col
ored quarters are not kept in a manner
as w think right and proper. We,
therefore, recommend that a separate
and suitable building be erected for the
said colored inmates.
We desire to thank the officers of the
court and the county for their courteous
and kind treatment and also Mr.. Clar-
ence Vivion for his services to the grand
jury.

What can be done with it7
There it stays. 1t won't digest. 1t
ohurns up ferments and decays; becomes
poisonous Gas all putrid matter doesl and
causes great pain and deep-seated disor-
ders.
In order to change all this, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial,
1t stops fermentation and decay at once,
so that no more poIsons are created.
1t clears the stomach of poisons already
there. 1t helps to turn the food that re-
mains, into healthful nOurishment. 1t
strengthens the stomach for the next
meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and cure
of indigestion in a few words. And
what's more, it's all true. Try it.
