coRNHUskERS WIN FINAL.
Defeat Illinois in Most Desperate
Game Ever Seen in Lincoln.

LINCOLN - Nebraska university
trailed in the dust the colors of Hi
nois ON the gridiron on Thursday, the
Cornhuskers winning a whirlwind
victory by a score of 16 to 10, thus
establishing the claim of equality of
foot ball in the Missouri valley with
that in the Big Nine" of the middle
west 1t was the fiercest and most
gruelling struggle ever witnessed on
Nebraska field and the biggest crowd,
the latter numbering 5000 enthusiasts,
had assembled to see it. The two
teams were almost equally matched
as to weight, the Illinois having only
a slight advantage, and the tide of
battle surged to and fro, with the is
sue in doubt until the final whistle
sounded the cessation of play.

First Class stock Pays.

1t costs no more on the farm to
raise first-class stock than to raise
poor or intermediate grades. This is
an axiom. An axiom it will be remem-
bered is a truth that does not need
demonstration. Then If it does not
cost more on a farm to raise the better
class of stock, the first thought in a
live stock breeders mind should be
improvement. This may in some in
stances be necessarily a slow process
if one Is limited somewhat in means.
But persevere and start In a small way.
One will learn gradually the best
methods in feeding, breeding and gen
eral care. This will, when most need
ed, be a rich experience, and with q
start in stock of which n has a per-
sonal knowledge, much more a be
accomplished than with several thou
sand dollars spent on a strange bunch
of cattle. Decide as early as possible
whether to raise stock for market or
for milking, and breed accordingly. A
heifer with a thick neck and a tall
bone that is too large had better be
sold for beef--if she has a small tail
bone and slender neck, keep her for q
mich cow.-Cecil Abel Todd, in Epito-

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is a tbriv.
ing town of almost 5000. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which ia a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part OF the
state. To the children of the town it is
known as "The Hotel"
So it was that when a faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavoTed to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story oil
the birth OF Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve OF the first Christmas and found the
inn full Of guests. 10 make it realistic she
used the smile of the town Of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come III from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi.
val came and the superintendent Of the
school asked for the tale Of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came TO Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls Of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with a vengeance.

HERE AND THERE.

AS soon as the weather begins to
turn cold and insect food becomes
scarce, an increased grain diet must be
provided for the growing turkeys. A
ration Of wheat and corn is the best.
A circular issued by the depart
ment of agriculture urges cotton plant
ers to destroy the cotton stalks early
this fall as the best means OF reduce
ing the number Of boil weevils in the
next crop.
So many people, thinking 1t I'M
natural for hens to lay in the winter,
make no effort to have them do so.
We wish at this time to say that this is
unwise, as the money comes from win
ter-laying hens.
To get eggs at this time and dur
ing the late fall and early winter sea-
son, we should feed often and feed a
heap. The heavy hen is the layer dur

The most successful way to raise
stock is first to make a good pasture.

plenty of forage and grain; good shell

Handling Of Manure.

The farmer who is a wise man will
try to save all manure made on his
farm, and will apply 1t to his land
with one handling. He will keep all
the live stock his land will carry, and
in order to increase his MANURE heap
viii provide a quantity Of bedding. A
good time to do this is Immediately
after t%hreshing; straw is thus saved
that is loose around the stack, and
the stack thereby shaped up better.
By bedding stock carefully, the guam
tity of manure is increased and the
stock kept warmer and cleaner. When
the straw stack is adjacent to the
barn they should be allowed to run to
IL in day time. They will eat a por-
ton, tramp down some, and more or
less ~droppings will be mixed with it.
All this should be hauled and scattered
on plowed land. OF course, a mixture
spreader is the thing, but many q
farmer can not own one, so must de-
pend On wagon or sled. II the haul
is short, and you are hauling old
straw, | would use a good sled, or II
depending on a wagon, by all means
have a low one. In hauling out ma
nure the volatile gases are best pre-
served by placing 1t in piles, say five
or six to the load, and then scatter
ing it just before the pillow reaches it.
thus turning under the manur fresh
before the wind has carried off valu-
able gases. This makes extra work,
so to save labor 1t will have to be
scattered direct from wagon; again to
save labor in hauling manure, / would
load direct from stable, and not throw
out unless unavoidable. OF course a
cow stable must be cleaned out daily,
but for horses I would use roomy box

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 (Special}.-
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure Of the little daughter Of !. N.
Whipkey OF Rheumatism. She was a great
sufferer for five or six years and moth
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to i'm
prove almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr., Whipkey says:
Il am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being a cripple per.
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one Of the results OF dis.
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood. II the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.
