experimented with the preserving of
sweet cider and bottles Of 1t were
opened recently which developed the
fact that the cider was as sweet and
wholesome as when It came from the
press. The simple method Of treating
cider In vogue at the college makes II
within the power of anybody TO pre-
serve It for future use at very low

,OOO.OOO ACrel worth Whils.

1t has been estimated from oficia
reports and compilations that at least
half a billion acres OF the national
domain have passed from the hands
Of the government, since Its organiza-
tiOn, into private and corporate hold
ings for purposes other than home
building.
Ia the early history Of the govern.
ment, when our population was small
and the lands were looked upon aS q
source Of revenue for running the
national machinery, there may have
been some excuse for diSposing Of
them IN large tracts. but rapidly
growing sentiment soon indicated the
adviSability Of securing permanent
population on all lands disposed Of,
finally eliminating in the passage Of
the homestead act.
The strong sentiment which Is i'm
patient Of delay in the governments
disposal Of ito lands and desires to
see 1t put into private hands % rap
idly aS possible, comes mostly from
an interested class which is pecuniar-
lily beneftlug by this policy.
II the plans which the government

the irrigation Of the seventy odd mil.
lion acres Of and susceptible Of that
development and the regeneration Of
even . greater amount Of arid and
uemi-Arid lands which cannot be irri-
gated, through the introduction Of
desert plants from the old world and
"dry land" methods Of agriculture,
are allowed to proceed, and the lands
meanwhile held against speculation,
opportunities for homemaking BY
millions Of people will be created 10

acres, will b . welcome sheet anchor

About Government Rate. Making.

1t is always q question how best to
serve the public in the matter OF
freight rate making. Much evidence
goes to show that competition is like
ly to produce as good results as arbi'
trary rate.making by a commission
The grain dealers Of Nebraska have
secured figures along this line. For
instance, the Burlington road last
year hauled out OF Nebraska 1900
carloads OF grain, including corn,
wheat and oats. The Union Pacific
and Northwestern roads, the Rock
Island and Northern Pacific also had
a large tonnage Of grain. However,
the benefits OF the rAilroad-made rates
to the grain-grower on Nebraska
farms run into big figures, II the Bur-
lington tonnage alone 10 considered.
A competitive struggle Of all rail-
roads for q share Of the Nebraska
grain has resulted in q reduction OF
rates OF least % per cent below the
basis Of the iowa distance tariff rates,
and has brought about several wars,
during which the Gulf roads put the
rate on corn down even TO 12c per
hundred.
The normal rate from the Missouri
river would be zoo to 26C. The pres
ent rate is 18c. The rate on the Iowa
distance tariff lie 26c. There IL q
saving, therefore. Of Of least 30 hum
dred, due to Aexibility Of present
methods and 81, 800 CArloads, even II
loaded OF q minimum Of 10000
pounds, gave the Burlington road q
haul Of $4,000 tons. Five cents per
hundred saved on that tonnage means
that Nebraska grain shippers saved
$4,000 In the cost Of transportation
to market Of the grain hauled BY the
Burlington railroad alone. 1t is evil
dent the total would run In the mil.
lion dollArs for 1904.
Iowa has fixed tariff made BY
commission. 1t seems that Kansas
with it's commissioners empowered
TO regulate inequalities rather than
to fix all traffic rates In advance has
both Iowa and Nebraska bested.

A worthy Appointment.

Parsons Sun: One Of the surprises
sprung uponths ncamPmentIsst night
OF the campfire was the announcement
by Department Commander Blackmar
Of the apPOintment Of Judge o. L.
Moore, Of Abilene. as judge advocsss
general Of the national department Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic.
But 1t was surprise that was very
gratifying to the Grand Army men
Of Kansas. and Judge Moore this
morning was the recipient Of many
congratulations from his friends.
There Is something significant re-
gardiDg the appointment Of Judge
Moore that shows the depth Of those
army associations that lapse Of time
and distance cannot efface. General
Blackmsr and Judge Moore. each OF
them then young men, the latter not
yet fifteen years Of age, were 10 the
same brigade and served under Gen
eral Custer. 1t was this early asSo'
citation, coupled with the eminent fit
ness Of Judge Moore for the position.
that accomplished his appointment.
The years that have passed since the
two men, then boys, were soldiers TO-
gether have seen many changes, but
each has remembered the other and
the memory Of that comradeShip was
crystallized last night in the appoint
ment.
Judge Moore Is appointed to take
the place in the national department
made vacant by the death Of Judge
ThAyer, late Of the United States cir.
cult court Of appeals Of St. Louis,
who was Judge advocate Of the ma
tional department. Judge Moore is
serving his third term as Judge Of the
Eighth Judicial district composed Of
Dickinson, Geary, Morris and Marion
county, and is acknowledged as one
OF the ablest juriSts in the state and
his appointment is extremely crafty
ing to the old soldiers, not only Of
his district but the entire state. He
has long been prominent in state
Grand Army circles, and served six.
teen months in Company NJ, OF the
Third West Virginia cavalry, enlist
ing before he was sixteen years Of
age.
