ABOUT CATTLE FEEDING.
A Herington Farmer Writes Of the
Chances for Profit.


The following article was publish
ed in this weeks Heringtou Times
and will be read with interest by the
many stock men OF Dickinson county:
HERINGToN, Dec. 29.-From exper.
fence, write You a few lines that
may be OF benefit to you in regard to
taking cattle to winter by the month.
| have tried it both ways, letting
them out by the month and by taking
them in by the month at various
prices ranging from so cents to sl.25
per month. The latter has proved
the most satisfactory in both cases.
| have figured great deal on letting
cattle out to be wintered and it
proved very unsatisfactory to both
the man that feeds them and to N.Y.
self. think the satisfactory price to
be 81 per month. ! know this is as
cheap as a man can feed them. If he
takes them for less then he is obliged
to cut them on the feed to get even.
Then they are not as big at three
years as they ought to be at two.
Then the owners set up shout and
give the farmer a bad name, when he
is the one to blame for figuring the
farmer down on the price. For an
example, if you see sign printed on
hotel "meals at 25c,' a 25c meal is
all you expect. So if you contract
with the farmer for 75c, seventy-live
cents is all you can expect. When
milet is worth IS per ton it will take
two tons to feed 100 cattle one day.
That is SO and 80 days would be $3.50
for man to feed 20 per month-ten
for board, five for wear and tear Of
wagon and feed of team. Now see
whether you can do it for less than
~ per month.
| went out and put up some very
good talks to induce a man to take
cattle for Use per month last winter,
| talked fellows into taking enough
cattle TO lose anyhow from nine to
ten hundred dollars and am sure |
got fully Is cents worth of feed. Talk
with any Of those fellows and they all
have one game eye for the man that
comes around who has cattle to let
out for less than ~ per month, SO
the American people are not the ones
nowadays to give ~ for 75c just be-
cause your cattle are fine colors.
Boys be careful and give the men
enough so they can afford to feed
them good. Otherwise you will get
to be so poor you will have to chew
long green tobacco the rest of your
days, as do now. | don't think |
will Away be poor, for | have quit
letting cattle out Is cents per month,
and don't you forget it.

FARMERS HOLD WHEAT.
No Hurry to Sell Grain in Kansas
This Season.

i
Owing to the unusually light grail
receipts in Kansas City during TIT
past two months, and the probability
Of this condition continuing unit
spring, it has been necessary to dis
pense with the services Of nearly hal
Of the inspection force in Kansas City
Kansas. Chief Inspector A. E. Nc
Kenzie stated yesterday that unless
the farmers began letting loose o.
more Of their wheat and corn it would
be necessary to make another reduc
ton in the force. The receipts arr
not sufficient to pay the running ex
penses Of the department,
The small amount Of grain that is
being shipped into the market al
present does not indicate a scarcity
of the product in the State. There
are millions Of bushels of corn and
wheat stored away in private elevat
orc throughout the State, and many
of the farmers have the last years
crop laid away on the farm, waiting
for better prices or a more convenient
time to ship it. A well known agri.
culturist of Wyandotte county, who
recently returned from trip over
the State, said yesterday that the
farmers in Kansas, generally speak
ing, were better off financially this
year than they have beeL for many
years.
"a good crop was raised in the
State this year." he continued, land
a very small per cent of it has been
sold. The price for wheat is not as
good as some expect it to be in the
near future, and as none of the farm
ers seem TO need money, they are just
keeping their grain. One farmer told
me that he had about Sc, 900 worth of
grain stored away and had plenty Of
cash to run him till next spring, and
that he had made up his mind to
keep his grain as he could not very
well lose it and he might the money"
Chief Inspector Mckenzie states
that the average daily receipts this
month do not exceed 100 cars, includ-
ing both corn and wheat. Usually
November and December are good
months for the inspection department
but this year has proved different
He says that he does not expect to
see the receipts increase to any extent
until spring. By that time, he thinks
that the farmers will be compelled tc
sell in order to make room for next
years crops.

When roaring Teddy Roosevelt
struck at Richard Croker. xn,e -s1fef OF
Tammany in New York city. he hit a
hornst's nest, and got a full reply az
tart as timely. 1t struck h blower
about midriff and sent him heels over
head, fguratively skeaking. Roosevelt
is governor and made an attack on Gro
ker and his gang. He says Teddy IS
at his old game playing to the gallery
with insincerity and hypocricy. The
following is good enough to deserve
copying
1.-THE governor and his republican
supporters are hard up n they try to
make me the national issue. If l have
lone anything wrong In buying and
selling ice stock, then the men who
nominated Roosevelt for governor and
vice president are equally c~ulpaDle."
Mr.. Croker said that an examination
of the list of officers of the ice company
showed that they were all republicans,
while the list of shareholders showed
that a majority were republicans. The
president of the company was a repub-
lican, and Frank H. Plat had stock.
You will notice" proceeded Mr.. Gro
ker, " that these TRADES about ice are
aimed at democrats. Not a WORD is
sal against republicans. If it is not
right for democrats to buy and sell
stocks and right for republicans to do
so, Governor Roosevelt should have a
law enacted making that distinction
Roosevelt charges that he wa, badly
treated in Colorado. Roosevelt went
there looking for a fight, and 60 it, 1t
was known before he reached there. that
his purpose was to make trouble, and
the citizens naturally exhibited resent
ment.
"a republican called on me last night,
and said he had nothing against Nc
Kinley, but he vas going to vote for
Bryan because Roosevelt is on the
ticket. Roosevelt Vas going around the
country, he said, insulting everybody,
and if Mckinley should die and Roose-
welt should succeed him he would
plunge b country into war in a min
ute"
