combine and the prices kept entire
ly too high. He intended getting
cottonseed meal and bran and
mixing with corn, SC.
Mr.. Cameron ash ed, will ton of
pure corn meal produce more or
less milk than a ton of patent feed
and was told the corn meal would
produce less.
Mr.. Miller asked if a farmer
could sell ton of corn for $50 and
buy a ton of patent feed for $24 If
it weren't better to do so He was
told that cottonseed meal at $50
was the cheapest feed on the mar
ket, but that cottonseed meal,
gluten and bran were not consider
ed under the head of "patent"
feeds.
The present market price of 80
cents for oats and 80 cents for corn
were unusual, and could not be
used as a basis for comparison be
tween home grown and bought
feeds.
Mr.. Cherry said he had cut down
his old orchard and the ground had
since been in corn. He wanted to
know if it would be advisable to
plant young orchard between the
rows OF old one and was told to do
so if he desired but new ground
would be preferable.
Mr.. Cameron asked when was
the proper time to sow timothy
and clover and was told as soon as
he could get the ground ready
would be the best time.
Mr.. Reeder said he had piece
of ground badly infested with red
top or herd grass and intended
sowing with timothy alone the
first year, with clover afterward.
He considered the last of August
the. proper time to SOW timothy
and clover, six quarts of timothy
and five quarts of clover per acre.
The question was asked if tim
othy seed two years old would
grow and answered, yes, if in good
condition.
After some informal discussion
on the insurance question, on
motion the club adjourned.

Several years ago, when a small boy heard a
prosperous farmer say, "that farming would be-
come profitable business when the farmer pro-
duced all his fertilizers an@ feeds on the farm;
that the farmers profits go into the pockets of the
fertilizer manufacturer and the exponent Of the
patent foods l have always wanted to see a
farm where this was given thorough test and
see what the result would be.
Whether man is to follow agronomy or ami
NAL husbandry in all its branches depends on the
man and the environment of his farm. This is
an age OF speeialties. The man who knows how
to do some one thing we'll. other things being
equal, succeeds. While do not advise so broad
policy as to have a man Jack of All Trades and
Master of None, do not on the other hand ap-
prove ofso NARROW minded.a policy as to see only
one side of question and think that is the only
side. l think ii man is to be an animal hush

PLANT HAS UNIQUE ORIGIN
Breakfast Food Factory Result Of
Founders Poor Health.
HE HAD TO ADOPT SUCH A DIET
l.. COItrin, Driven by sheer Neces-
sIty, Eats This Food and Es-
t%abIishes Big Manufac-
tory for 1t.

A big breakfast food plant Is one of the
latest of Omaha's rapidly growing Industrial
developments.
Necessity has again proven itself to be
the mother of Invention. This time it hap
pened to be an Omaha man, l.. Coltrin,
found his physical condition to be in such
an impaired state on account of stomach
trouble that It was necessary for him to
eat or die
Mr.. Coltrin had d~octored until ne found
that medicine would not reach his ailment,
and that IL he did not find something TO
give him relief It was a case of not being
able to survive much longer, because his
stomach had gotten to the point where 1t
would not retain anything which he chose
to eat.
The result was the discovery of Uncle
Sam Breakfast Food, which Is a mixture
Of whole wheat, flaxseed and celery salt.
This simple combination is a very delicious
breakfast food and is proving TO be one of
the best remedies for dyspepsia, indiges-
tion and constipation yet discovered,
The effectiveness of this remedy for
stomach troubles was not to be kept un-
der a bushel," because a great many other
people besides Mr.. Coltrin were seeking for
just such "a food,
It was not long before the doctors of
Omaha became aware Of the medicinal prop
critics Of this discovery and the result was
that 'Trncle Sam" Coltrin was induced to
form n stock company to engage in the
manufacture Of Uncle Sam Breakfast Food
The stock company was formed and 500,
oo cash was raised for the purpose Of in.

stalling a thoroughly u~p-to-date breakfast
food plant. The company bought the old
Gibson factory at Twenty-eighth and Sab
Ter streets and built an addition on the
north side for the engines, boilers and bake
oven, thus transforming the old polish fac
tory into a breakfast food factory.
The installation Of the machinery is not
completed, but the company is working to
finish this as soon as possible on account
Of the great demand for the new breakfast
food.
, Orders are being received from all parts
of the country, One doctor ON the south
side In Chicago got hold of a sample pack
age through one OF his patients, and inn
mediately wrote TO the factory to ascer-
tain how il would be possible for his
gFoceryman to be supplied. Orders have
already been received from as far distant
as New York City, Pittsburg and Port
Arthur, Tex.
Mr.. Coltrin says that 1t Is not a ques-
ton Of taking orders, but it is a question of
filling them. The factory, when completed,
will have a capacity of 1900 bushels Of
wheat and 100 bushels Of flaXseed per
day. This will amount to about 10000
packages of the finished product.
The food has already been on the market
for several months and the machinery now
installed is working to its fullest capacity.

MAN SHOWS GREAT VITALITY
Pital and Splicits' Aid of
Doctors,

Stuffing his handkerchief into 2 wound
in his abdomen made by p bullet that also
passed through his appendix, Eugene p.
O'Donpell of Philadelphia calmly passed
the long hours that intervened between
his injury Saturday night and the de
parture Of the first train for the city Sun
day morning asleep in the railroad sta
ton at ~Brigantine Junction.
Arriving in this city he walked into the
Pennsylvania hospital and sought treat
ment for the injuries which, the physicians
say, will probably prove fatal, nearly
twelve hours after they were received.
The physicians at the hospital could
hardly credit the mans story at first.
They pronounced the exhibition of nerve
and vitality which he gave as the most
remarkable that had ever come under
their observation, and said that his re-
coyery, in view Of the serious nature OF
the wounds, the loss of blood, and tho
delay in treatment, would be just as re-
markable.
It was shortly before 10 o'clock yester-
day morning that O'DonnelI ak into
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-20

the Pennsylvania hospital, calmly informed
a physician that he had been shot and
asked to be examined.
The physician discovered a bullet hole
in his abdomen on the right side, which
was large enough to permit O'Donnell to
pack a portion Of his pocket handkerchief
I'm to stop the flow Of blood.
On further examination the physicians
found that the injury was made all the
more serious by the fact that the bullet
had passed through O'Donnell's appendix.
The unconcerned manner In which
ODonnell related his story added to the
physicians establishment. They say that
the wound was dangerous enough to have
caused the death of ar ordinary person
within a few hours.
According to his own story. O'Donnell
was shot shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday
night, and it was nearly twelve hours later
before he received medical attention.
The handkerchief which was pushed into
the bullet hole, O'Donnell saws, was put
there by himself In the railroad station.
1t stopped the flow OF blood somewhat,
but the doctors say that despite this the
wounded man lost enough blood to kill
an average man.
O'DpLnell declared that after he had
packed the handkerchief into the wound
he went TO sleep on a bench AT the rail-
road station until be was awakened by
railroad employes.-Philadelphla inquirer.
