The Cant About Hard Work. 7~s'

The October Century has very time ly and forceful editorial on the present. day tendency to regard as unfortunate the man who has to work
 One consideration that is making our people impatient of hard work is the example of riches quickly'made through the semi gambling activities, says the Century. Men whose fathers would have died rather than live on bread they had not earned find themselves willing to be taken care of, by the government perhaps, or by "the party" or by their more fortunate or indus trious relatives. Such drones know nothing Of the satisfaction of him who "scorns delights and lives laborious days" who can hold his head high and say he has earned his right to live, and whose death is thus not a debt paid to nature, for he owes her nothing
 No one who comes in contact with affairs can fail to notice, however, as sort of corollary to the enervation which comes to men of wealth through luxury, an increasing laxity of view among workingmen concerning labor. a tendency to regard the daily task as something greatly to be regretted and hastily to be escaped from. In some minds an air of sentimentalism per vades the whole labor problem, as though the millennium only waited up on large wages and short hours. The old-time love for ones work and the old-time pride in it as ones best req son for existence have yet to find any widespread and active propaganda in the conventions of labor. So far as we have observed, no labor leader has taken upon himself the conservative office Of preaching to his followers the virtue of good work well done, not only as a duty to the employer. but as a service and inspiration to the working man himself The theories even of those who lead most wisely aim a the elevation of the individual through the class rather than the reverse. The general trend of the workingman seems to be away from hard work and good work. It is time that there was less preaching of rights and more of duties Perhaps it would be easier to get the rights by Q little more conscientious devotion to the duties.
 As a matter of fact. and not of theory. no man can do worse service to another Whet her rich Or DoOr thar, tO deprive him of the absolutely healthful joy which there is in hard work. Woe to him who does not like his daily work; for if one cannot have the work he likes. he would better learn to like the work he has.

Hens Paid Their Way.

The following story is going
the rounds of the press and is
vouched for as being true. Re
Gently a carload of hens was
shipped from Eldorado, Kansas,
to San Francisco. There were
5000 hens in the lot. They laid
$500 eggs day. For the entire
trip the total number of eggs
laid was 2OO.625 dozen. The
eggs sold at 20 cents a dozen,
bringing $525 The freight on
the car was $3.50 1t will thus
be seen that the hens more than
paid their way.

or nearly one-fourth of the total

There is no just reason. for
these conditions-the country
being generally as prosperous as
year ago, employment as plen
tiful and with the masses times
are good and the demand for
meat products greater than ever,
but the consumer is paying to-
day as much for meat as one
year ago. The sole excuse for
this state of affairs is the desire
of the manufacturers to increase
their already immense profits.
The prices for cattle are lower
than they have been at any
other time since the civil war.
There are several causes for this.
To begin with, early IN the sea-
son there was a prospect OF a
scarcity in the corn crop. Men
who make business of feeding
cattle for the market consequent-
ly did not feel like paying the
prices prevailing last year. The
growers would not come down.
and as a result they had the
stock left on their hands.
Large amounts of money were
tied up in cattle. Soon the COM
mission men and others who had
been loaning this money began
to urge the marketing of the
product and the payment of the
loans. This kept big stream
flowing steadily to the market,
and largely feeders for which
there was small demand. The
packers did not bid against each

The foreign demand fell off.
the Boer war and other unusual
conditions being over. Times
generally have not been so pros
porous within the last few
months, and domestic demand
has fallen off. All these condit-
ions have pushed down the
prices. The receipts of cattle at
| Chicago so far this year are
probably 100000 to 100000
head over what they were for
the same period last year, while
the prices are fully 33 per cent,
less.
Since the corn crop showed up
so well, there has been an. in
creased demand for feeders, but
at the lower prices, The price
of dressed meat has not been
reduced in proportion to the fall
in the cost of the animals on the
hoof. The consumer IS paying
the cost of everything

TO FIGHT MEAT TRUST.
P'an to Aid StOckmen by Establishing lnde-
pendent Packing Company.


ing interested in a plan to form
an independent packing compa-
ny to fight the packers trust
and to enhance the value of live
stock. This project has been
agitated since before the Nation
al Livestock Association held
its annual convention in Salt
Lake. 1t has taken definite
form only within the last few
weeks, when the Independent
Packing Company was incor-
porated under the laws of Ari-
zona. The company is now
seeking to raise money through
stockmen to go ahead with its
plans for the building of big
stock yards and packing houses.
Last week letters were sent
out to numbers of stockmen in
the inter-mountain region ask
ing cooperation in the move
ment, inviting subscriptions. to
the S., 100000 capital stock
and requesting stockmen to meet
at Fort Worth, Tex, December
/, to hear further details of the
subject.
The prospectus which has
reached Nevada stockmen de-
clares that the price of livestock
is being depressed and of dress
ed meat raised by the packers
trust. The prospectus says, in
part:
Everyone knows that the
leading packing firms of the
country. to all inteuts and pur-
poses. have entered into a COM
bination by which they abso-
lutely control and fix the prices
of the live product to the grow
er, and also the price of the fin
ished product to the consumer.
REPRESENTATIVES of the four great
packing houses in Chicago every
weekday afternoon meet and tlx
these prices for the following
day, regardless of all laws re-
lating to the supply or demand,
and these prices prevail at all
the markets. By this method OF
business all competition is de-
stroved, and the farmers, stock
men and consumers are at the
mercy of one of the most far
reaching trusts ever organized
in this country.
The truth of this assertion is
obvious when you consider that
fifteen months ago No. l beef, on
the hoof, sold in Chicago from
$3.50 to So 65 per hundred
Today the same quality of beei
brings but from $685. to $40
per hundred, a decline OF fully
So per hundred or $50 per head

cant reduction, entirely out OF
all proportion to the decline IN

as that on cattle and hogs.

BRONZE GRASS

Geo. McEathron of Huron, in the
Dakota Farmer makes out rather
discouraging case against bronze
grass, and closes with the best he can
say for it as follows:
"Now for the good qualities: It
comes early and stays late; when once
stand is obtained, nothing else will
grow with it; it is sure death to all
weeds, and as a rotation to put on a
weedy field it is splendid, I there
fore believe from experience, that for
a pasture grass it is good but no bet
ter than our native grass. 1t is the
best thing / know of to seed down a
field where a permanent pasture is
desired, but stock should not be al
lowed on it the first season. I do not
believe it will pay to surrender our
native grass for the purpose OF plant
Ing bronze, but il it is wished to In
c!nde in g pasture g field that that has
once been cropped, it will pay to put

It would pay to put blue grass in part

THE LATTER PART OF THE
NAME TO MEAN SOMETHING
HEREAFTER

A call at the N. N. s. I. School this
week found the faculty ver5 busy get
ting things arranged for the coming
year. An intruder upon business
meeting Of the faculty found them
discussing the project OF sending an
exhibit to the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position. 1t is likely an interesting
exhibit will be prepared between now
and the first Of May when it must be
ready. A volume embodying results
OF student labor aud study, possibly
printed and bound in the students
own print shop, may be- portion OF
the exhibit. Prof. Hammock new
department of manual training may
turn out notonly book but other in
teresting PARTICLES Of handicraft by
that time.
Another subject that was up for
consideration was the ACCESSIBILITY
OF making some sort Of display during
carnival week, but no conclusion was
arrived at.
The new. department. of manual
training which is inaugurated under
the charge of Prof. Hammock, form
erly of the Sioux City high school, is
feature that is certain to become
exceedingly important. At present
three rooms on the upper'floor answer
temporarily for this department, but
by another year shop on the ground
where machinery driven by power
can be installed. A printing press to
be run by foot power for the present
will be put in and the Exponent, the
school periodical will be printed at the
school, at some future time the
DEMOCRAT will give full account of
the work being done in this most in
teresting department..
There is one piano at the school,
but the faculty feel the need Of two
more and an organ to properly equip
the musical department, and It is
hoped the resident representative of
the board of regents will find way
to supply them
The new artesian well on the grounds
is pouring out lavish sup
ply of clear water. The walls of the
dormitory have reached the second
floor and work is being pushed as fast
as possible to get it enclosed.
