Winterinq Cattle.

On practically every farm in this
county are some cattle to be carried
through the winter. Feed Of all kinds
will be high. That there Is an enor-
NOUS difference Ia the value ii differ
ent feeds, even for carrying cattle
through the winter, is strikingly
shown By the results OF eight years
feed tests OF this sort conducted at
the Missouri Experiment Station, at
Columbia.
The results OF these experiments
with corn fodder, whole, shredded,
and sioled, as compared with tim.
othy hay, clover hay, cowpea hay,
alfalfa, millet, sorghum, and wheat
straw, are all carefully set forth In
Bulletin rs, by Dean q. ]. Waters,
which has just been issued.
This bulletin also shows the prof ts

Axles Were Whiskey keos.

An entirely new scheme of whiskey
peddiing has Just been discovered In
the Indian Territory and It seems to
have been going on for months. The
officers of the district northwest of
Herbert have known for some time
shat whiskey was being sold to vari.
Gus parties, but not until yesterday
were the peddlers caught. They had
travelled around the country in an old
wagon drawn by a poor span of In.
dian ponies and were, presumably,
buying eggs and poultry. They would
sell small bottles of liquor to farmers
and Indians through the neighbor.
hood, and 81 pint was the usual
price. The officers discovered that
both axles of the old wagon were of
Iron and very large. These axles
were hollow and would hold about
four gallons each. The peddlcrs
would remove small bolt and insert
a pump and draw the desired amount
OF whiskey
One of the peddlers admits having
sold whiskey in this way for five
months, and has made enough money
to buy farm in Texas. He says he
will serve his time in Jail and then
buy a farm.-Topeka Capital.

RICH STRIKE AT THE
EAGLES NEST MINE

FAIRVIEW, New, April IA pho
nomenal strike in the Eagles nest
mine at Fairview has caused consid-
cradle excitement in the district and
a big stampede into the camp is an
ticipated. The Eagles Nest is situat-
ed next to the famous Nevada Hills
mine, which has paid three dividends
since being discovered about a year
ago and which is considered one of the
richest mines in Nevada. The new find
in the Eagles Nest promises to make
that mine as famous as the Nevada
Hills and does away with the belief
that Fa'rview is a one-mine camp. A
ledge eight feet wide and assaying
$112 clear across the surface has peer
opened up in the Eagles Nest and the
force of miners has been increased.
The ore is being extracted and sacked
for shipment as rapidly as possible.
This is the same ledge that traverses
the Nevada Hills property and the dis
csvcry is considered one of the great
est ever made in Churchill county.

Let us see. Much has been spoken
and written about the power OF the
almighty dollar. As the power still
continues, so must the speaking and
writing continue. Money is one argu-
ment that generally seems complete.
If a man can show that he gets the
money, the world is usually willing to
pass over how he does it. Wealth COW
ers more sins than a hundred worlds
of charity. Its possessors are men OF
standing in the vcommunity and as
such they do not receive their just
deserts for the evil that they do. The
dollar sign is a halo. 1t signifies wis
dom and every other good quality, and
it guarantees immunity from many
monied man must grapple.
Is it even small wonder that men are
after the. money? 1t is useless to de-
cry the folly of the worlds viewpoint,
for the brief temporal alterations
during which the public deplores this
way of the world are vain. Only by
going to extremes in the movement
will the public have snch an awaken
ing as to realize its grevious mistake.
And if one would get the money he
must not linger by the wayside, or
take time to philosoph re. Hesitation
may cost him his opportunity. 1t
may lose him in the shuttle. Put aside
all notion of c%ultivating those traits
of character which go to make up the
ideal man, sacrifice all conception of
the good, the beautiful and the true
but get the money. 1t is money
that the world looks to. So go it,
everybody! Go 1.-THE mad race for
the goal is on! Every man for himself
and to hell with the losers.
