wan fort. the right wing of the Japa-
nese army assaulted Shojusan Satur-
day afternoon. Having carried the
approaches to that height. the assall-
ants entrenched themselves under the
glacis of the forts. In the evening
the left wing delivered an assault on
Keekwan. fighting its way to the low
err parapet. There the Japanese held
their ground stubbornly in the face
of Russian counter-attacks.
Having been reinforced during the
night, the Russians charged down
upon the Japanese and desperate
hand-to-hand conflicts ensued. The
Japanese beat back the enemy and
destroyed two covered positions in
the front moat. Later in the night
the advanced position of the japanese
was taken and retaken twice. The
besiegers succeeded in holding the
approaches and constructing trench
front parallel. At dawn numbers Of
dead were visible on the slopes.
Fort P was captured by the severe
fighting CT the night. These opera
lions have successfully driven an
effective wedge into the Russian cen
ter. Severe explosions and extern
sive fires have occurred in the fort
ress within the last few days. The
total casualties of the Japanese in
the late attacks were LOO. Over
500 were killed up to Oct. 20. The
spirit of the men is magnificent. The
firing of all the guns is wonderfully
effective. The climax to the late bonn
bardment came between 4 and 6
O'Clock Saturday afternoon. 1t was a
superb spectacle. Every fort of the
enemy was engaged and the fighting
in the trenches was constant and
severe. The outposts of the contend
ing forces were only forty feet apart.
At midnight one of the Japanese
trenches collapsed into a Russian
gallery. The enemy, being surprised
underground, fled in confusion.

To Get Winter EGGS.

/ have been in the poultry business
for long time, and my experience
has convinced me that the first thing
to do TO secure winter eggs is to have
a warm place for the hens. The tenn
perature should not be lower than
about 40 degrees above zero. | feed
all kinds of grain l can get, but not
too much corn, as in that case the
birds will get too fat. The houses and
yards should be kept very clean, and
the fowls should not be allowed to
eat foul stuff They should have
good deal of exercise, and this may be
induced by throwing grain into litter.
The nests should be kept clean and
the nest litter changed quite often.
Green cut bone is the best thing to
stimulate egg production that have
ever used.

Care in DRESSING Animals.

In the dressing of any animal it is
always we'll to consider that possibly
it may be affected with tuberculosis
or some other contagious disease.
There is little danger of infection if
there is no wound on the hands that
can come into contact with the meat.
y SOOd many cases are on record
Wnere men have lost their lives by
carelessress in this regard. Butchers
are perhaps oftener the subject Of
such accidents than any others; and
the amateur butcher is as certainly
in danger as the professional. A Chi
cagO man reports as follows to the
United States Bureau Of Animal In
Gustry:

tural products were concerned, but
they could not believe that we should
be large exporters of manufactured
products. These opinions were not
set forth in public as political opin-
ions, but were the subjects Of many
a discussion in private. The men
were sincere. It was simply a ques-
ton OF what would actually occur
not what the politician needed to pro-
claim to advance his own political in
terests or the interests of the par
ticular party with which he was al
lied. Since then, however, many of
these men have had reason to change
these opinions, for the steady in
crease in the export of manufactured
products has been a mathematical
demonstration that they were mis-
taken. The statistics now indicate
that the fiscal year ending a month
from now will show a great increase
in the exports of manufactured prod
ucts above any years in the history
of the country. In other words, the
facts as they have actually occurred
have taken the pith out of the theory,

ton to a protective tariff has been

system in Feedinu,

Animals cannot get the best results
from their feed unless it is given
them regularly and in quite uniform
portions. Every farmer should have
a regular system for the feeding of
his farm animals. whether the ami
mails be the ores used for the produc
ton Of meat and milk or for the pro-
duction Of force to be expended in
labor. Irregular meals are as bad for
animals as for human beings. The di-
kestive systems adapt themselves to
certain habits and seem to be as
much opposed to irregularity as if
they were sentient beings On many
farms there is no system of feeding
and the results obtained are poor.
One man will work his horses for
hours beyond their regular meal
times. During the last hour or so the
animal is losing vigor rapidly He is
given food when his strength is partly
exhausted. The stomach had not the
vigor Of digestion that it had at the
regular eating time, and the result is
more or less disarrangement. some
times resulting i'll the imperfect diges-
ton of the food taken. This is mat
ter that every human being has ex-
perfenced himself. The results are
far more disastrous than We have
been led to suppose. The fact is cas-
ier to establish than the reason for it. 1
The COW, the pig. and the sheep, when
depending on man to do the feeding
fare best and thrive best when their
food comes in accordance with reg
ular system. 1t is not so much a
question Of how many meals an ami |
nal has day as of their regularity.

The closing clauses in the tariff
flank of the platform constitute an
arraignment of the Democratic
party's position on the tariff, which
must go home to the hearts and
minds of people everywhere in this
country. 1t points out how the Dem
ocratic party has declared the pro-
tective tariff to be unconstitutional.
A party with such beliefs could not,
in Justice TO itself. do otherwise than
promptly destroy every vestige of
protection Immediately upon being
given power to accomplish that re,
suit.
Another point which will not soon
be forgotten is that " Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; a Republican tar.
if by business prosperity" The fact
was not lost sight of also that free
trade England is now engaged in ac'
tive agitation to return to the prin.
ciple of protection in her international
trade arrangements.
The platform declaration on the
subject of our foreign trade, with
special bearing upon the question OF
reciprocity, while not so emphatic as
it might have been, when examined
closely, will be found to meet the
requirements of the time. The reci-
procity section guarantees that inter.
national trade arrangements shall,
when put into effect, be consistent
with the principles of protection and
without injury to American agricul-
ture, American labor or any American
industry"
Reciprocity in non-competing prod
ucts is the reciprocity of Mckinley
and of the Republican party.
Trade agreements with foreign
countries, which safeguard American
agriculture and American labor and
every American industry, are trade
agreements consistent with the prin-
ciples of protection, and will not be
harmful to the industries and the
labor of the United States.

A Few Sheep.

In looking over some reports OF
sheep on farms we are struck with
the fact that in some of our states
carry any sheep. In the old days it
was assumed that every farmer had
at least few sheep. We believe that
to-day it would be better for the
farms and better for the whole popu-
lation of the, country if every farm
had a small flock of sheep. 1t ap-
pears to us that small flock of sheep
could be kept in the summer time
at least at almost no cost and with
great benefit to the arabic portions
of the farms. The husbandman works
to get the weeds out of lis tllIaDle
fields, but the whole length of the
pasture fence is mass of weeds on
the side of the pasture and from their
tops blow millions of weed seeds
every year. The sheep would keep
most of these weeds down and thus
destroy the source from which the
fields get their annual supply of weed
seeds. One reason why farmers do
not keep more sheep is that dogs are
destructive to the flocks; but as these
raVages occur generally in the night
the trouble is obviated by penning the
sheep at night. The matter of fences
is another cause that deters some,
but fence that is hog proof and
horse proof is generally sheep proof
During the last few years there has
been a steady decline in the sheep
growing industry in every state ex-
cept one east of the Mississippi. This
condition Of affairs is profitable neith-
er to the nation nor the farmer.

An iII-AdvjSed Stem.

The National Association of Manu-
facturers has stirred up a hornet S
nest by its recommendation to Con
gress that a tariff and reciprocity
commission be appointed. Opposition
to this recommendation comes from
manufacturing and general business
circles. Certainly it does seem to
have been an ill-advised step to take
in a presidential campaign year, for
it develops an agitation that may
form a new complication in tariff
discussion, and neither of the two
great political parties appears dis
posed to rush into the tariff arena

fact was clearly demonstrable that
more than one industry in the United
States was certain to be injuriously
affected thereby.
Sturdy devotion to the principles
of protection and pledges that all
American labor and industry shall be
safc-guarded were made the keynote
or the Republican party declaration.
The Republican national platform
of this year makes this emphatic
declaration, which is in harmony with
the doctrine upon which the party is
based"
Protection which guards and de-
velops our industries is a cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the main
teuance of the principles of protec-
ton, and therefore the rates of duty
should be readjusted only when con-
ditions have so changed that the
public interests demand their altera-
ton, but this work cannot safely be
committed to any other hands than
those of the Republican party"
Two vital points are embodied in
this clause of the Republican plat
form: First, that the measure of pro-
tection shall be the difference in the
cost of production in this country
and in foreign countries. This is a
guaranty that every essential eie-
ment in the cost of production,
whether it be the rates of wages paid
to workinguen, the value OF capital
investments, or the cost of plants
and whether the production so meas
uTed relates to commodities OF the
factory, the mine or the farm, shall
always be at least embodied in the
laws governing the Importation of
competing products admitted to the
ports of the United States. Second,
and what is a vital principle in this
platform declaration, is that the Re-
publican party shall determine when
conditions have so changed as TO
make readjustments of tariff sched
ules necessary or desirable in the
public interests. Certainly it is
proposition to which all sensible men
Will agree. that no such readjustmsnt
should be made. at any time, when
the good results expected to be OBJ
tanned thereby would be more than
outweighed by the attending injurious
effects TO industry and labor certain
to attend such readjustment of the
tariff.

OF Wide Interest.

whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1904-07-22

The cause of protection to the labCr
and industries of the United States
has gained triumphal victory in
the national convention of the Repub-
lican party. The platform of the
party and the nomination of Roose-
welt and Fairbanks carry a pledge to
the labor and industries of the United
States that, so far as the Republican
party is able to control results, they
shall be exempt from ruinous attack
which SO much endangers the har-
mony of successful commercial de-
velopment and the wage-earning ca
pacity of our people.
The Republican national platform
of this year will stand the careful
scrutiny of students of political econ
omy as well as of the Republican
party leaders, whose devotion to the
principles of protection has contrib
uted so much to the development of
American industry and commerce and
to the well being of labor during the
past forty years. The one striking
feature of this excellent platform
cannot fail to attract the attention
of Republicans everywhere and that
is the pledge against unnecessary
tariff tinkering and the pledge that
no schemes for reciprocity in trade
with foreign nations, shall be per
mitted to injure any industry in the
United States.
The fact will not be lost sight of
that had the principles enunciated in
this platform governed the Repub-
lican national administration during
the past two years there would have
been no such thing as reciprocal trade
agreements with any foreign nation,
no matter how great the incentive nor
how charitable the spirit which
prompted such negotiations, when the

mark.
The work of grading and testing is
done mostly by women, who become
very expert. The eggs are graded ac-
cording to weight. There are six rec
ognized classes, ranging from 61a to
8 Kilograms per 120 eggs Q.43 to 2
pounds per dozen eggs). The expert
graders work behind a long table,
upon which they have six wooden egg
racks, or frames, each frame with ten
dozen holes in which the eggs are
placed. The graders can tell at
glance to which grade an egg belongs,
and they distribute them very deftly
When frame is filled with ten dozen
eggs (Which are taken directly from
the boxes received from the circles)
the frames are taken by man and
weighed. If the 120 eggs weigh too
much or too little for the grade for
which they are intended, eggs are
taken out and substituted with larger
or smaller ones, as the case may be-
The frame of 120 eggs is taken into a
small, tightly closed room and set on
top of hopper-shaped box, which is
about two feet deep, the sides Of
which are lined with looking-glass.
The bottom of this hopper-shaped box
is about eight by thirty inches. Four
sixteen-candlepower electric lights
stand up from the bottom, equal dis
tances apart. The eggs, as above in
dicated, are placed over these lights
and looking glasses, thick ends up.
The tester looks carefully at and
through each egg, and if any be un-
sound they are rejected.
The eggs are then carefully and
snugly packed, side by -de. with
nothing between them, in four layers.

inches deep. Between each two lay
ers of eggs is substantial layer of

The thin boards are securely nailed
on, the boxes are properly marked
with the company's trademark, the
number of eggs and the grade indi-
Gated, and they are sent to the ship.
ALI eggs are Eold by the pound. The
cooperative company pays all ex-
peases from the time the eggs leave
the circles until they are placed on

about one cent per dozen. The cost
