The W. c. T. U. Rally.

The program furnished for the
anniversary rally of the local w. c.
T. U. was one of the best ever rem.
dered in this town, and it would be
hard to say which was most appre-
ciated-the anthem chorus of thirty
voices, the male chorus, short talks
by pastors-some OF them very
short-the Rotations so effectively
rendered by the Misses Cathey,
Wallace and Littleton, or the grand
solos by Miss Woody and Miss Lit
tie. They we're all appreciated,
even the pairing off of Bros. Mahon
and Hendrick, each agreeing not to
make a speech if the other wouldn' t.
All was on temperance and enjoyed
by all present, but the talks by
Revs. Shelburne and Ewing were
especially good.
The Presidents report shows
that the society has raised from
membership dues and other sources
S70.57. Expenses for the year,
S59.44.
The society now has 81 active
and - honorary members, but IN
addition to this the Y. w, c. II. U.
has II active and honorary mem
bers.
The work of the union has been
principally by meetings and dis
tributing literature to create a
temperance sentiment in this town,
and they have succeeded to a de-
gree hitherto unknown herea-
bouts, and few more years of such
earnest efforts as have been put
forth by Mrs. M. E. Edwards and
her faithful associates and liquor
will be banished from Union City,
if not by legislation then for want
of recruits to take the place of the
old toPers who are passing away.
And God grant that the day may
not be far off when through the
united efforts of the w. c. II. u,
Prohibition Alliance and Anti. Sa-
loon League the saloon may be ban
ished from Union City, the State
and the nation. w.

AT the meeting of the County
Democratic Executive Committee
last week there were some sugges-
lions made in reference to an in
crease in the membership of the
committee, but action deferred
until q future time. This was
considered advisable from several
standpoints. One was that there
might be larger attendance at
the meetings to transact business,
and another was that the districts
might be represented according to
the pro rata vote of the county.
In other words, each district should
bave enc committeeman, but addi-
tional members should be appor.
toned to the districts in accord
ance with the number of votes
cast, the largest district securing
the first extra member and so on
until the required number is OBJ
tanned. The State committee is
apportioned to the Congressional
districts in similar manner, anc
we can see no very strong argu
ment against the increase of the
county committee in that way
Other reasons were stated, but
these we're the principal ones.

order to get manure to replenish
the waste of fertility in my fields
caused by forty years OF cropping
with corn and oats without any
return to the soil. I have almost
doubled my crops where manure
has been literally applied, There
is practically no competition in
the dairy business here. Good
butter can be sold the year round
at rs cents, and I can make good
use of all the skim milk fresh
from the hand separator, feeding
it to calves and pigs. Not only
is it fairly profitable business but
it IS pleasure to sell the prod
uct. My city customers are al
ways pleased to sec me on my
weekly visits. No talking is
needed TO make sales, no credit
is asked: the hard cash weights

the milk from the cows. Set al
most any boy or man to milking

hand-a-weary-of-his-job. IT takes
an expert to milk cow to get her

milking line are scarce. With
this introduction I will tell you
what 1 would like to do.
1want to feed cattle. I want
all the manure saved. l should
like to feed and turn into manure
all my oat straw and corn fodder.
MY. neignbors do this after a
fashion. When their corn is
husked out they turn their cat.
tie into the fields that they may
pick up the corn that has been
overlooked by them, and at night
the cattle lie around the straw
stack and before many nights
are passed they lie atop of it.
The cattle arc benefited a little
by what they find in the stalks
and their bed of straw; the field
is often damaged great deal by
the tramping and the straw pile
that is left is an unsightly heap
for two or three years, an in
tolerable nuisance all the while,
and is finally scattered out as
manure. do not want to follow
this fashion. If feed cattle for
beef l must have them in barns
or sheds much the sameas l keep
my cows. I would like to run all
straw, corn fodder and clover hay
Gall cut short) into a NOW above
where these cattle are to fed.
Each steer should have above
him all that he can possibly eat
all winter. A silo and granaries
should be handy. Sheds should
open to the south. Let the cat
tie live as much as possible in the
sunlight and open air. A narrow
lot should lie alongside the sheds
with plenty of pure water in it.
Bed the lot and sheds down deep
with shredded corn fodder; it
will keep their feet dry and the
bedding will save the manure
from wasting. You would bet
ter buy a corn harvester and a
shredder and harvest and shred
your nelghbor's corn just for the
fodder if you have not enough of
your own. I do not see any sense
in keeping a man and team out
all winter clawing away at snow
cover ed and frozen.in fodder
when it costs so little to put it
where it will do the most good.

How To Grow Beef.

HOW 10 UrOW DSGIs
Nearly every one who has fed
a cow has read of the Interna-
tional steer advance" bred and
fed by J. L. Kerrick of Blooming
ton, III.
Mr.. Kerrick realized some
thing over $4,000 for advance"
and as result has received many
times that amount IN advertising.
Concerning how to grow beef,
Mr.. Kerrick says the following:
Conditions point to a high
period for beef cattle for long
series of years, making strong
inducements for growing beef
cattle in the corn belt, and for
many years to come, We want
to grow corn, and blue grass, ard
cow peas, and soy beans and
clover, and grow cattle to con-
sumo it. This is likely to be
most profitable farming for a
long time. The ranch and pub
lie land beef-growing is rapidly
narrowing. The country and
the world must at last rely on
the great corn states for beef.
Lands that will grow these
crops have nearly doubled in
value in the past twelve to fifteen
years. Don't sell your lands for
they will be worth more year by
year. On these high priced lands
discard all old methods, aud get
the best blood, and mature beef
earlier. Four, three and even
two and d half year old beeves
are things of the past with most
successful cattle growers. Make
1900 pound steers in two years.
1t is the best beef produced, and
withal the most profitable. But
it can only be made with the best
blooded sires on high grade dams,
and fed on foods l have indicated,
IN a methodic, continuous and
PS' oiSsSdS way
have myself thus bred and
grown steers which at two years
old past weighed 1000 pounds
two winters and two summers
and then rcaoy for market.
Twenty of "a months is the best
ard most profitable beef cattle.
Rapid growth makes the best and
the sweetest beef, it is mottled
beef, as | Call it, beef mixed with
fat and lean. Go into the market
with such beef and you get the
top prices for it-one to two
cents pound better than what
is called good beef.
Mixing the feeding products l
have named affords a due proper
ton of protein aud fat forming
feeds. | feed calves from the
time they are weaned to finish.
Feeding merely for maintenance
at any time will not grow such
beef. Judgment of course, must
be used in getting the calf on its
proper ration. judy ment is re-
CURED for everything. When
that is done feed twice a day
morning and evening-feed for
growth and for finish. With
good breeding as described, per-
sistent and proper com bination
OF foods constancy and method
will enable any one to make 400
to $500 pounds beef cattle ready
for market at 20 to "a months old.
Such animals put on flesh rapid
ly. Only such cattle can be
made profitable on high priced
land. l have been asked how to
manage on small farms. NV
answer is, the more reason to
grow the best cattle possible to
breed. to make everything count,
and apportion the small farm to
growing the foods necessary to
feed in right proportion. One
great point gained is that YOU
con stantly improve the farm by
growing cattle. In series Of
years the increase in value is one
third more than GROWING GRAIN

Great Western Will Make an
Effort to Get Resort
Business
TO FAVOR MINNESOTA
Reduced Rates to Meet the Activity
of Eastern and Western Roads to
Secure Traffic for Colorado
and Watering Places.

In view of the action of the Eastern
YCads in deciding to make special sum-
mer rates to the Eastern resorts, and to
the activity of the Missouri Pacific and
the Union Pacific in booming Colorado
business during the summer months, Pas
senger Agent Elmer, of the Great West
ern, yesterday announced that special
rates would be made during the summer
between Chicago and Minnesota points.
The roads in the South and West have
always made a big effort to secure East
ern and Western business, and the Great
Western Offic, ais think there is no reason
why the Minnesota summer resorts
should not enjoy a fair share of the
summer business, and it was with this
end in view that the passenger depart
nent decided upon the low rates.
The fare between Chicago and the Twin
Cities viii probably be 30 per cent of
the single-trip fare, or about $1O.35 for
the round trip. This has not been an
nOunced as yet, but that is what the
rate will no doubt be.
The Burlington will also make the same
rates on certain dates during the sum-
mer months, and it is expected that,
through the combined efforts of the
roads, Minnesota will get a good share
of summer business.
