WABASH CUTS GRAIN RATES
D. 0. Ives Wires Exchange he Will hot
Abide by Agreement
LATTER is EFFECTIVE NEXT MONDAY
Gould Tariff Is on Basis of Three and
one-HaIf Cents Higher from
Omaha to Baltimore
Than to Gulf.

Another break Is threatened In the corn
rate from Omaha to the Atlantic seaboard.
This is brought about by the announcement
of ID. o. Ives, freight traffic manager OF
the Wabash. who wired the Omaha Grain
exchange as follows:
We are issuing today an export corn
tariff minimum weight marked capacity OF
car from Omaha South Omaha and Council
Bluffs from beyond % cents to Boston and
New York y cents to Philadelphia, effec-
tive January 49,
This is the rate which the railroads had
agreed upon. to be effective January Is. or
as soon as the rates which were then in
effect by the Milwaukee and Great Western
had become operative. The lines east %
Chicago refused to concur in these rates so
all agreed to go back to the combination of
the two locals which is cent higher Ives
practically has now announced he will not
abide by this rate, but will make the cut
OF cent, anyway.
This rate, as announced by Mr.. Ives, e
on the basis of 49, cents higher from Omaha
to Baltimore than to the gulf ports. Mr.
Ives does not mention Baltimore in his mes
sage. but the rate to New York is IL cents
higher TO New York than to Baltimore. and
the rate to Philadelphia is cent lower
than to New York,
The Wabash has its own tracks from
Omaha TO Buffalo and evidently does not
intend TO wait for the eastern lines to assist
in making this rate but has put II I'm on its
own hook.
spens Denies Holding Cars.
There is absolutely no truth in the silly
rumor that the Burlington is holding back
cars. waiting for the increase in the grain
rates which will become effective January
Is" said General Freight Agent 5pens at
the Burlington headquarters Friday morn
ing. ION the contrary, we are doing all
in our power to provide all the cars posi-
| BILE. These cars would be back for another
load before the 18th, as we do not permit
them to go on our own line. so you can see
how foolish the statement is.
I'VE have done several things which show
we are striving to furnish all the cars We
can to help the grain men out while the
rates are still low. In the first place al
local train crews, which generally do moi
work on Sunday, have been putting in that
day extra to help out. Many cars loaded
with the company's material for construc.
ground that the cars might be put in ser.
vice to haul this great crop OF corn witt
which Nebraska was blessed during the las
year. The repair gangs have been workins
overtime to keep all cars possible in ser
vice.
Last March when We received but
cents for the haul from Omaha 10 Chicag,
the Burlington then furnished more car
than any other road and all We could. W,
Omaha daily bee., 1906-01-13

cannot help the bumper crop nor the fact
that all want to ship their corn at the
same time. During the last two weeks In
December over sixty elevators on our lines
in Nebraska were closed because we could
not get cars to them, but we could not help
it. The lines east OF the river also are
crowded at this time of the year and still
we secured over 500 cars from that division
to help move the Nebraska corn crop.
''The price for corn Is good right now
and we expect to have all we can handle
under the new rate The western roads
were all willing to put in the through rate
to the east but the business of the lines
east of Chicago is so heavy they would
not participate in the reduction which had
been agreed upon.
There Is no reason for a car shortage
except the enormous business which the
railroads are all doing. This grain move
ment is big thing and comes upon us
with a rush at this season of the year
so that to handle It we are forced 70 use
many cars which should be in use on other
work"
Rates for Hllrs Cut on.
General Manager Holdrege OF the Bur-
lington has returned from Sioux City where
he was in consultation Thursday with Gen
eral Manager Ward OF the Great Northern
and ID. Willard, second vice-president of
the Burlington The matter under consider
alton was the Sioux City-Ashland cut of.
Only preliminary matters were considered
as the road will not be ready for the oper-
alton of trains until March /.
The cut of is completed from Ashland
to Fremont and work trains are run over
that section hauling material, but the road
has not been turned over by the contractors.
so that no regular trains are run by the
Burlington. 4 large depot is being con-
structed at Fremont for both passenger
and freight and other depots are being built
along the route as the work progresses.
The completion of this line will give the
Burlington the short line between Lincoln
J and Sioux City and between Fremont and
/ Sioux City and will cause a slight read
| Justment of all rates, although no radical
changes are anticipated. The Burlington
has announced that no rates will be put In
which will be at all injurious to Omaha
! The present rate from Lincoln to Sioux
I City is s4.60 and the new rate will be s. 90
| which will change the basis OF all rates
dependent upon this route. The new freight
/ tariff has been under discussion for some
/ time and caused considerable work to re-
/ adjust according to the short mileage.

OMAHA GAINS FOUR POINTS
Jumps from Eleventh to seventh
Place I'm Total Receipts of
All Grains.

In the comparative table of grain re-
ceipts for twelve primary markets. the
November report of the government De-
partment of Commerce and Labor gives
Omaha seventh place in total grain re-
ceipts. This market stood eleventh in No
vember OF 1904.
The report shows that Kansas City went
ahead of Omaha In corn receipts. despite
the conviction OF local grain men that
Omaha would run through the year as the
worlds second corn depot. In November
Kansas City got ,.s5s.ooo bushels Of corn.
while Omaha got 5i4.soo bushels This gave
the former market lead for eleven months

Dates of Primary DAY.
The Bee is still besieged with inquiries
as &c dates and particulars about the
primaries, although these have been given
several times. Primary day is Tuesday,
April 3. and all filings must be made prior
to Sunday, March 4, or thirty days before
the primary election. No one can become
a candidate on a party ticket unless he
files his name with the county clerk In
accordance with the provisions of the law.
These provisions include the filling out of
a prescribed form. which the city clerk
will have printed. which pledges the can
didate to abide by the result of the pri-
mary. Filing will cost nothing by reason
OF the supreme court opinion In the case
brought by the socialists to test the law,
and no petition of voters is necessary TO
get ones name on the ballot. The written
application also must contain pledges of
party affiliation.
The city clerk has sent for copy OF the
supreme court decision which knocked out
several particulars of the law. including the
rotation printing of the names ON the bal
lots. The ballot will be a reading ballot
and the names will go on II alphabetically,
according to the ruling OF the clerk. No
registration OF voters will be held on prI-
mary day. as this part OF the law was de-
clared invalid.
Only Those Who Registered.
Only voters who registered for the cleo
ton last fall may participate in the pri-
maries, and then according to the party
affiliation to which they subscribed The
law provides that ballots are to be given
only after the voter has satisfactorily an
swered questions as to whether or not he
supported the candidates OF his party at
the last election and intends to do so at
the ensuing election. In case his word is
disputed he may obtain the right to vote
by swearing to his statements
Provision is made in the law that nom
ination papers also may be filed for non
partisan candidates" 1t is presumed that
only those voters who m~se no answer as
to party afiliation or registered themselves
as independent may vote these ballots.
However, It gives candidates an oppor-
tunity to go on the offieial ballot for the
general election without getting the bis
list OF citizens signatures otherwise re.
quired.
| Candidates for precinct committeeman
must file in the same manner as othol
candidates. but must present petition:
signed by ten voters OF their precinct.

1t Is important to have cattle OF
good individual quality and to have
this backed up by good pedlgrees. But
1t Is equally important that their en-
viroment be right, writes New York
farmer in American Agrlculturist. A
farm that Is naturally poor and grows
poor crops can only develop stock OF
poor quality. l am positive Of this.
The farm on which my cattle are kept
is considered one of the best in the
county and is not getting any poorer
with the large amount of manure my
stock make. 1t Is not what could be
called high ground, but almost level
and well drained. This soil is under
laid with limestone, similar to the
limestone and blue grass lands Of Ken
lucky, that have long been famous for
the stock that came from them.

When the sows get unruly and in

they can be readily controlled by an
arrangement made Of ropes and placed
around the jaws of the animal. Such
a rope Is not easy to put in position
with an angry hog, SO little device
made Of an old broom handle is used.
Insert a small hook In one end of the
handle and near the other end nail a
strap, which fastened so as to form a
loop, will enable one to get firmer
grip on the handle. Then take the
rope and make slip moose in one end,
hang 1t from the hook on the end Of
the small pole and, with a quick move
ment, place the loop over and around
the upper jaw, when the mouth Is
forced open. Take hold of the rope

Tho Honey MuskmeIon.

One of the astonishing things In
vegetable growing or rather in grow
Ing vegetables for the express purpose
Of supplying the consumer, is the ut
ter indifference shown by the grower
to the matter Of quality. The same
thing applies to fruit. 1t would be
excusable If there were no other sorts,
but when there are dozen more or
less far &etter than the varieties of.
fered 1t 1, strange, indeed, they are
not grown. A family well known to
the writer was especially fond of musk
melons and bought them in large guam
titles until all that were offered them
were so poor in quality they stopped
using them and the producer lost valu-
able trade. The Honey melon, which
has been tested for three years past,
Is one Of the promising new sorts. 1t
Is a nicely formed melon, the skin
green and the flesh yellowish green.

In letter to Wallace's Farmer Da-
vid Fisher says: In your article on
''The Cost of Holding Corn" you do
not mention the important fact that
elevators in the fall season Of the year
take eighty pounds to the bushel. Fig
uring shrinkage Of 10 per cent, It
would take lit bushels forty-slx
pounds at seventy pounds per bushel
to give 100 bushels next May. At sew
enty pounds 1T bushels forty six
pounds makes 1926 pounds. At eighty
pounds per bushel you have but 1O2
bushels seventy-six pounds, which Mt
80 cents bushel would give $3O.SS
cash in hand. The interest on $3O.SS
for six months at per cent is 90 cents
making total Of $3.50.

Wheat the Best Sheep Food.

Some Of the experiment stations
find that pound Of wheat in feeding
has more nutrlment than pound Of
any other grain. In corn there is 8
per cent Of digestble protein, barley
500 per cent oats 9.25 per cent, rye
9.12, while wheat has 1923 per cent.
An English authority estimates wheat
fed to lambs is worth about 70 cents
per bushel. The Indiana station real
lied IT cents bushel for wheat fed
to sheep.

To Fight boil WeexiI.

Secretary Wilson, Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, asks in his re-
port to Congress that $1O5,5O0 be ap-
propriated as the boil weevil item for
the following year. 1t is proposed that
the Secretary be authorized to expend
the appropriation in such manner as
he shall deem best, in cooperation
with the State experiment stations
and practical cotton growers. OF the
special appropriation Of $195, 900 which
was made for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1906, $105,OOO has been used
by the Bureau of Plant Industry in
the study Of cotton diseases, diversi-
hcation and cooperation with the va
rious experiment stations In extend
Ing the improved cultural methods. 1t
Is recommended that this appropria-
tlon be continued, not as a separate
Item. but as part Of the regular bu-
reau funds. 1t Is highly important,
the Secretary Of Agriculture adds,
that the investigation on breeding Of
new cottons, the general propaganda
work on improved cultural methods,
the study of the diseases and diversifi-
cation Of crops, be continued and ex-
tended into other Southern States like
ly to be invaded by the weevil. The
object Of this appropriation Is to en-
able the department to continue this

the Wyoming Experiment Station
states that there is no real profit In

class of most Of the range lambs will
