Mr.. A. F. Hunter, who is one of the

Farmer, not long ago said in the columns
of that paper Feeding fresh cut bone

has proved decidedly profitable thing,
The bones are rich in animal matter,
and contain lime of which the egg shells
are made, and hens fed on fresh cut bone
will lay larger number of eggs than if
fed no bone. Not only will they lay a
larger number of eggs, but the eggs will
be stronger-bodied, will be better eggs,
and if incubated will have better and
stronger chicks" o. s. Page, of Hyde

Of the Organization of a company for
the working of the Albany placer
claims. on Douglas creek. has the fol
lowing paragraph relating to the plans
OF the company:
"A novel plan is to be adopted In
working the deposits, a new method
being used which does not require
hydraulic power. An Will
be made in the ground until water Is
reached, this being accomplished at
a shallow depth, and in this hole Will
be built a monster dredge which will
scoop up the sands in front OF it, and
dump them out at the rear. after they
are worked on the boat. This dredge
will slowly but surely dig its way
through the sands so that. unusual
sight Of a large boat travelling across
dry land, while resting on water all
the time, will be seen"

R0UTS GRAIN TRUST
WOMAN WHO HAS FOUGHT BIG
NEBRASKA COMBINE.
Mrs. kehoe, of Plat Centre, Has Pros
pered In Business During Ten
Year Strueele-Stcry Brought
Out by Probe.

Omaha, Neb.-In a fight lasting ten
years, Mrs. Kate A. Kehoe, of Platte
Centre, Neb., has beaten and put to
flight the Nebraska grain trust. To-
day Mrs. Kehoe is prosperous and
successful, while the great grain men
who control the Nebraska grain trust
are lodging around in their efforts
to escape the summons server and
the federal grand juries.
The story of Mrs. Kehoe was
brought out in the recent investiga-
ton into the grain trade in the west
before the interstate commerce COM
mission at its Omaha session, and at
lated Mrs. Kehoe upon the remarkable
fight which she has just made against
the big combination.
While the fight has been going on
Mrs. Kehoe has risen from a Shovel
house" to be the owner of two big
grain elevators, and from handling a
few wagon loads of corn she is now
one of the largest grain buyers along
the line of the Union Pacific rail-
road.
In addition to her fight with the
grain trust. Mrs. Kehoe has been
obliged to fight the railroads for her
supply of cars in which to ship ler
grain, as well as to whip the members
Of the Omaha and other grain e
changes into line, thus forcing for
herself a market for her grain, once
she had purchased 1t.
Ten years ago, when Mr.. Kehoe
died, about the only asset he left TO
his widow was a small grain business
transacted through a shovel house."
In grain o~arlance a Shovel house" is
a dealer who buys from the farmer
and shovels the grain into a ware
house, afterward %shoveling it into a
railroad car. instead OF handling the
business through an elevator. Every
elevator man considers it his business
to down a Shovel house" whenever
he can do 1t.
Mrs. Kehoe continued the Shovel
house" business, and in addition she
, 1907-02-13

opened up an implement house, sell.
ing all sorts OF farming implements.
Then the grain trust got after her.
They wanted her to quit buying grain
from the farmers. She refused to give
up her business. and the trust began
work" against her. Her customers
in the cities were coerced Into refus.
ing to buy from her. She met this
attack by obtaining new customers.
Then the railroads began shutting
off her supply of freight cars. She
was compelled to sit idly by and
watch her competitors load car after
car, while none were given to her.
She took the matter up direct with
the general managers of the railroads
and got her share of the empties.
Failing to .un her out Of business,
the trust invited her to come in"
and share with them the results OF
the fleece" She ordered the ennis,
sary from her Office in Indignant re-
fusal.
But Mrs. Kehoe turned this last
effort Of the trust to good account and
by showing the farmers in that vicin.
lily that the trust raised prices only
to eliminate competition, after which
the price OF grain would fell below
the regular market, she obtained their
cooperation. and thereafter when the
trust raised prices above the regular
market the farmers continued selling
tneir grain to Mrs. Kehoe at tn, reg
ular quotations.
Then one night the Shovel In nae"

TRIES
Use OF FATHERS RAZOR.

Little William H., the ~three-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. e, Holiday,
having frequently watched his father
shave himself, a few days ago conclud-
ed that he needed a shave himself and
securing his fathers razor began the
job. Before he had gone far he cut
himself on both cheeks slightly, when
he went to his mother to direct her
attention to the blood. Being asked
the trouble the little man cody
held out the razor and said, "chave."
The injury was very slight.
