Supplementing Corn.

The will be millions of dollars
worth of pork marketed from the
farms of the central west during
the next few months, and most
of this will be made from corn.
In the making there will be much
loss, because here and there in
every community men will feed
corn too heavily, throw their
hogs out of order, thereby invit-
ing disease to finish up the hog
business on that farm for the
year.
By-products are high in price.
Nevertheless, it should be remem-
bered by every man who pretends
to feed hogs that corn is not
perfect food in itself. Unless
there is at hand pumpkins and
pasture to last late in the season,
there is considerable risk to run
when one aims to finish hog
during the last four or five
months of his life on straight
corn.
In our opinion there is not
enough use made of ordinary
cereals like oats and barley.
Until the weather gets very cold
oats may be used to excellent ad-
vantage for hogs by soaking
them for a period of twenty-four
dours before feeding. So much
the better if a little fax or oil
meal is added to the oats previ-
Gus to soaking in order to make
the mixture most palatable.
If fattening hogs have access
to mixture of this kind they
can, with a reasonable degree of
safety, be turned in and allowed
to husk their own corn. We
know of a number of instances
where this is being done, thereby
cutting down the labor item and
the hogs are making excellent
gains and appear to be in perfect
health. Farm Gazette.

Celebrate Seventy Ninth Birth
daV,

Saturday evening while visit

Uncle John Scott was greatly
surprised when number of
friends and relatives appeared at
the home to celebrate the ami.
verSary of his Seveuty-ninth
birthday. Mr.. Scott has been a
resident of Nebraska between
forty-five and fifty years and has
many interesting Incidents to re-

three years ago he resided on a
farm about mile west Of town,
when he retired from farm life
and moved to Table Rock. The
occasion was spent in a quiet
Sociable way, nice supper added

Cold Storage.

A short time ago The Tribune
had something to say regarding
the establishing of a cold storage
plant at this point. We note
that Beatrice has just completed
an enterprise of this kind and
here are Il few pointers regarding
its working in that city as seen
by a reporter for the Express:
This morning the Express man
began at the business Office and
visited the entire poultry depart
merit, and he was given the sur
prise of his life. Three floors
are occupied in this department.
the upper floor is used as fatten-
ing room for poultry. Here 5000
head of chickens were being fed
this morning. This one room is
a regular poultry show in itself.
There are layer upon layer of
crates all filled with poultry
awaiting slaughter.
On the ground floor is the re-
ceiving, weighing and storage
room, where 10000 chickens were
said to be on hand this morning,
and more were coming in steadily.
The basement is divided into
compartments for the handling
butter and eggs, killing room
and cooling room. In the killing
room from fifteen to twenty men
were at work killing and picking
chickens. The pickers employed
are very expert at their work and
make all the way from $3.50 to
S4,25 per day. To a visitor, it
appears, the chicken so unfortu-
nate as to enter this room rarely
has time enough to die, before
the feathers are off and it's body
on the way to the cooling room.
Poultry is received from all
over the country. The b d
weather of the past three days
has had a tendency to flood the
market and two car loads were
received last night, besides the
dozens of chickens which were
brought in yesterday and today
by farmers.
A department at this plant, 50
by 80, is also used as an office,
egg Gambling department, and
storage room for egg cases, bar
rels and lumber for the making
of crates.
All in all, this institution is a
credit to the city of Beatrice, and
our citizens generally will be
pie ased to learn that it is receiv-
ing the patronage it deserves.

Dope FiendS"

Unchecked, unnoticed, almost
unknown, vice llouriShes in
Lincoln more destructive to
health, morals and happiness
than the rum traffic.
Two hundred chronic users of
dope" or narcotics were in the
city i'll 1908. Statistics compiled
by police experts place the pres
ent number at 600.
Most of the "fiendS,' as they
are termed, use cocaine. "A con-
siderable number eat raw opium.
Others take morphine. But the
majority are victims of cocaine
and morphine administered with
a hypodermic syringe.
Within a short time the dope
changes the texture of the brain
cells and degenerates the nervous
system. Frenzy follows each in
dulgence in vice. More than
half the pitiable wrecks are con-
tinually walking about the streets
and lurking in the alleys, their
deprayed minds picturing the
widest tancies, their nervous
fingers fretfully clutching at the
ragged edge of murder.
PROFIT FoR THE AVAR1cIous.
AvarlciouS men profit by the
ruin of their fellows and sell the
drugs for which the wretches
beg, secure in the knowledge
that punishment is remote and in
fact impossible.
Envious for gain, confedcrates
of the dope victims smuggle
the drugs into the penitentiary
and into the dipsomaniac ward
of the Lincoln insane asylum.
Warden Beemer, Of the peni-
tentiary, has insisted of legisla-
tion to punish the persons who
are caught smuggling opium and
cocaine into the institution. SO
far there is a defect in the
statutes and punishment is only
provided in case the guilty person
is connected with the prison.
DIR. J. 7. Hay, superintendent
of the insane hospital, has silni-
lar struggle. Legislation is de-
manded and there is an urgent
call for penalty which will re-
strain the reckless and unlawful
sale. Reputable druggists will
not sell narcotics except on pre-
scription. However, there are
some who welcome chance for
gain and take advantage of the
defects in the laws.
Something must be done
about this dope matter" said
Chief of Police Cooper. 1T is
one of the serious questions, and
the evil is rapidly increasing" -

every business enterprise that
will not wear the collar of its
owners should be rebuked by
every man who desires the

ing stamps in Dawson to spite
the postmaster, of keeping the
Gilligan company out OF the
local contract that will not
yield the company ten per cent
a year, is so small, so mean,
that It seems strange that men
will descend to such conduct.
The Gilligan company does
more business in Oklahoma CITY
every year than it ever did in
the same length of time in this
county. 1t is doing more busi.
ness in North Yakima and Sc.
attic, Washington, this year
than its combined business dur
ing all the years it has worked
in Richardson county will
amount to. When the company
was re organized recently all of
these cities wanted it to locate
with them, but its managers
were Richardson county men
and they made the headquarters
in Falls City and spend 81, 200 a
month in salaries in this town.
The encouragement it receives
is the opposition of a newspaper
that calls upon those unfriendly
to Falls City to help it in pre-
venting the execution of a con
tract that was signed and de-
livered.
And that is another thing
that is the matter with Falls
City. There isn't enough CO.
operation between the city and
the farmers. There is more or
less of an antagonism between
the country and the city. Falls
City has always done its share
towards the Improvement of the
farmer S condition. 1t has been
little slow at times in doing
so, but it has always landed
right in the end. Not man
lives in Falls City that doesn t
rejoice in the prosperity of the
farming community. Not a
Falls City man that doesn't
hope that your crops Will be
good and the price big. We are
willing to pay more for our
flour, our chickens, our butter
and our eggs for we know that
it means more to those upon
whom we are dependent. There
should be the most cordial CO.
operation between the farmer
and the merchant, the doctor
and the lawyer. Each of US has
trouble enough to get our share
from the other fellow without
wasting our time and energies
fighting each other. We are
glad to have you visit with us
on Saturday. We are glad

have nothing but the best

circumstances is sufficient in
itself to accomplish the result.

they were born. Their location

for such dozen establishments
for which we would not have to

Other towns and cities about us
are pushing forward along these
lines while we sit idly by and
doing nothing. Humboldt has
a brick plant. Falls City has
the identical clay that Hum
boldt has. Auburn has a pot
terry plant and canning fac
tory. Our facilities for both
these enterprises are better
than Auburn's. Yet nothing is

too may get fine new building.
Hiawatha is nearly in the same
class. What about Falls City.
One of its newspapers that does
a mail order business and buys
many postal supplies in year,
buys all of its stamps away
from Falls City because the
men who run it don't like Jack
Crook and are trying to cut
down the postal receipts in the
hopes of reducing his salary.
Yet this paper appeals for local
patronage every week. 1t

it does it's business. Take it's

This company distributes more
money in Falls City every thirty
days than any other two insti-
tutions in the city. Yet the
journal whose ostensible pro-
prietors do not like the men
associated with the company,
is publishing comparisons ut
terly false and misleading and
is calling upon the tax payers
out in the county to talk with
the members of the board and
assist them in destroying a
Falls City institution. We know
of no other community where
such narrow disloyalty would
be stood for a minute.
