they arrive at the place of work ten

AIfnIfn for swine.

The Nebraska farm rs are fnding
in a alfalfa a veritable boon to the
swine industry in the state, says
western writer. 1t balances up the corn
ration. This it does at least
in marked degree, and it
does so both summer and winter.
In the state and in other states, larger
quantities of alfalfa hay are fed to
swine in winter. Where we can grow
clover in the northwest we can devote
it, of course to similar use; but in one
respect, alfalfa is even ahead of red
clover, this in the continuity of its
groth. II ought TO last for several sea-
sons. even as swine pasture. Let us
try, therefore, and grow more alfalfa.

FARM NOTES

The climate and soil In the states
west OF the Missouri river are so diff
ferent from what they are further
east, that an eastern farmer has TO
practically learn the business anew
when he comes to these states. The
cold, clayish soil and heavy rains in
the eastern states make II necessary
TO delay seeding until the warm woa-
Their has come to stay, but in Nobras-
la al least such prcCaulion need not
be observed Early planted corn and
spring wheat are always better than
the later planted, Corn which has
laid out in the fields all winter Will

A CHAMPION DEHoRNER

Nebraska readers of Hall Gaines
"The Manxman" must have been dou-
bly, amused when they read the Incl
dent in chapter XIII. OF part V,
wherein at the fair after that pious
old Methodist, Caesar Cregeen, hai!
sold BLACK Tom" Quilliam "ould
Horney" for twelve "gOolden pounds ="
the cow was taken with fits. and Tom,
by the advice of his grandson, Pete,
within probably half hour from the
sale had converted her into "mailie"
by saving off her long horns and hal
sold her back to Caesar for thirteen
pounds!
The humor is irresistible for any
one who has never witnessed the de-
horning of cattle. Does Mr.. Cain ;
think COW horn is as lifeless and
bloOdless as veterans wooden leg,
and that "ould Horney's" white face
would not be smeared with blood after
Black Tom and Pete finished their
carpenter-surgery?

corporation between $4,000, 900 and 3d.

to get more of the same kind in the

Listed corn, that is, corn that is
drilled, after plOw throwing furroW
both ways, a sort of implement almost
unknown in the east, is generally more
productive than that planted in hills
with planter. 1t certainly stands a
drouth better and saves the plowing of
the land. To make a good crop it re-
quires as much cultivation as if plant
ed in the old way, but it will stand
neglect better
Farmers who know and practice
these plans are able to pay their
tribute to the trusts and railroads
much easier than those who do not.
This tribute las been raised 50 enor-
mously during the last ten years that

TRUST ECONOMIES

The trusts started out with the
declaration that they would inaugur-
ate great economies in production by
the employment Of large capital and
the combining Of many independent
plants under one Jurisdiction. 1t don't
seem to have turned out that way,
according to Prof. Edward S. Mead
of the University of Pennsylvania,
who has made an exhaustive inves-
tigation of the subject. He arrives at
the conclusion that these contem-
plated economies have not material
ized. From the organization of these
companies it is easy to arrive at the
amount, if any that they have econ
omized. There is the preferred stock
which represents the true capital AMI
the dividends on the ordinary earn
ings. Then comes the common stock.
The economy is represented in the
dividends paid on the common stock
and its price in the market shows
what estimate is placed upon the
ability of the trusts to carry on the
business at less cost than the inde-
pendent companies did. A few repre-
sentative cases show the following
loss of faith in trust economy:

PROTECTION sHIBBOLETH

Nothing is more disgusting to Inc
Indrpcndent than to SEE a proiessed
dpmorraric senator adopt the ShlD-
boleth Of the high protectionlsts ana
begin to talk about the ruin OF lh'
industry" whenever he wants a spe-
rial uriIilrpc tor some Of his consult
uents. Tha' is the way some OF the
democratic senators talk whenever the
tarilr on sugar is mentioned.
There will be an extra session Oh
congress in November to consider the
Cuban and Philippine tariffs. The su-
gar trust has bought up good many
beet sugar factories paying altoBethei
several millions of dollars for then'
II is claimed by the beet sugar sena-
tors that the sugar trust Is behind the
Cuban treaty and the bill TO reduce
the tariff with the Philippines to 10
Dcr cent Of the DingIey rates, ana tIlat
tha trust has invested these millions
I'm the beet sugar factories for the
purpose Of buying OF the oppoSitloh
and that as soon as the Cuban treaty
Is ratified and the Philippine Dlll Is
passed the beet sugar factories VIII De
closed up. The independent does not
think that the fulfiIlment Of the pre-
diction is probable. If the result Of
the proposed legislation will be TO
lower the price of sugar then 79,oOO'-
900 of the inhabitants Of this coun-
try will be benefited and If the Deet
sugar industry is ruined" only 5Oo,-
90 people will be affected thereby and
they will be but slightly affected III
the farmers who raise sugar beets
could raise nothing else, then 1t might
be serious question with them. But
that is not the case at all. There IS
but little, II any, greater proht TO a
farmer in a crop Of sugar bcetS than
half a dozen other crops which ne
could raise on the same land. Grant
ing all the postulates Of the beet su-
gar senators, their position is unten-
able. 1t is in direct contradiction to
The main object Of government, the
greatest good TO the greatest number
A fall in the retail price OF sugar
would be a benefit to 79,500,00O Of the
80 900. 600 inhabitants Of this country;
it would be of slight, if any, injury to
the other 900 engaged in raising
sugar bcets.

A while ago there was a big rum
pus among the diplomats about the
payment Ct the Chinese indemnity.

wanted to make the Chinese increase
the number OF taels in proportion to
the fail in The price of silver. Now
thai silver has risen, it will be in
order for the Chinese to claim a re-

fed in the treaties. 1t may be pre-
