HUToHINsoN's BIG PLANT.
Work Is Being Rushed ON the Soda
ri Ash Works. ct--1

Hutchinson. March 4.-The soda
ash plant, being built by the Hutchin-
son Chemical & Alkali company in
the northeast part of Hutchinson, is
a little more than 60 per cent done,
according to General Manager John
Faulkner and Chief Engineer John R.
Watson, the two Englishmen who are
managing the practical work of build
ing and operating the plant.
On July IA, 1907, the first car of
lumber for the construction of the
plant was received at the plant site.
On August 8, 1907, the work of
excavating for the building was COM
menced.
The foundations are sunk low in
the ground, the steel work is high in
the air and the plant is spread over
lot of the soil of the Hutchinson
townsite and, up to now about ESQ
cars of material have been received
and a large share of this has already
gone into the erection OF this big
manufacturing concern.
The company is building plant OF
one unit to manufacture soda ash out
of the salt vein that Is below the sur
face of the earth at depth of about
$50 feet. After that depth is reached
there is a solid salt vein for a depth
of 400 feet. In this vein five wells
have been driven to the depth of S27
feet each. These are being connected
by pipes with the plant and they will
be pumped out and gotten ready for
the operation of the plant when the
time comes.
To make 120 tons of soda ash daily
will require the use of 120 tons OF
limestone daily. 1t will also require
the consumption of about 150 tons OF
coal daily This, with the shipments
| to the markets OF 120 tons of the I'm
| ished product daily will add greatly
! to the business of the railroads cen
| tering in Hutchinson, which city has
| for years been the largest In the state,
| in the point of freight tonnage Tor all
/ of the railroads.
More than 100 men are at work on
| the plant now, on the regular pay
roll and in the employ OF sub-contrac-
tors. This number or little more
will be employed until the plant Is
completed and put In operation
Then there will be two shifts OF men
| at work managing the works OF the
! plant. The night force Will consist OF
about fifty men, at the start, and the
day force of about seventy men. This
number will be gradually increased
| These will be in addition to large
gang of men who are to start soon
after that in erecting another unit to
double the capacity of the plant: II
/ is expected that the plant Will DC
ready for business in July.

jurors selected. the first day of the
trial of c. H. Wheaton. on a charge of
second degree manslaughter in con-

Miss Reilly was stenographer for
Wheaton at the Grand theater. which
he managed and controlled. She was

He is as clever as Jim Corbett was in

see johnson get the chance. But If
they ever meet in finish fight think
Burns will win.
Tommy Burns Is better man tnan
the public gives him credit for being.
I don't think that even Tommy him

To Fatten Fowls.

Shut the fowls up in a darkened
place with just enough light for them
to see to eat. and feed on cornmeal,
ground oats, cracked wheat and shorts,
which may be mixed in equal proper
tions and scalded. Feed as often dur
ing the day as they will eat up the
food clean. That is to say, stuff them.
Take a light and feed again just be-
fore your bedtime, and as early in the
morning as possible. Supply them
with grit and water and keep the
premises clean. Half dozen fowls to-
gether will fatten more quickly than a
large number as they will not pine for
company. Cooked potatoes, rice, corn
bread, cracked corn and whole wheat
may also be fed. Give no green stuffs,
as it is too filing and will do no good.
Fowls crowded this way should be in
fine condition in two weeks. Shut up
longer, they are likely to begin to NOPE
and will go back rather than increase
in weight.-Rural World.

How and Where to Register for a Farm
in the Rosebud Reservation.

The President has signed a proclama-

Indian Lands in South Dakota, generally

designated Judge James w. Witten,
the Chief Law Officer of the General
Land Office, to superintend and conduct

Persons who desire to register for this
drawing should go to CHAMBERLAIN

cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
between October and October IL and
there sign and swear to an applica
ton for registration which will be fur
nished by the officer administering the
oath.

Bulletin No. 81 from the Storrs Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, Con
necticut, is a most excellent one on the
origin or sources of those small or
ganisms called bacteria, which are
found so abundantly in milk. The
bulletin also contains some rather
startling statements and some whole
some suggestions.
Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit UP and
think are the following:
"a quart Of milk at Sc is equivalent
in food value to pound of beef at 1Sc.
This means that 4c worth of milk gives
as much food energy in the body as sc
worth of beef.
'The average individual consumes
three or four times as much meat in a
day as the body actually needs for re-
pair, and for it's highest physical con-
ditiOn.
eff the American people would eat
one-half less meat and consume one
half more milk, they would save about
$150,O00,O00, in money and in health,
enough to make the doctors bills look
small"

Risk in Drenched Cattle.

Doctor David Roberts, State Veteri-
marian of Wisconsin, gives this advice:
Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of drenching cattle is to adj
wise the reader to throw back his head
as far as possible and attempt to swal-
low. This you will find to be diff
cult task, and you will find it more
difficult and almost impossible to swal-
low with the mouth open. 1t is for
this reason that drenching cattle is a
dangerous practice. However, if a cows
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by the drenching
bottle or horn, portion of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
into the lungs, sometimes causing in
slant death by smothering, at other
times causing death TO follow in a few
days from congestion or Inflammation
of the lungs. Give all cattle their
medicine hypodermically or in feed. if
they refuse feed give it dry on the
tongue The proper method of giving a
cow medicine is to stand on the right
side of the COW, placing the left arm
around the nose and at the same time
opening her mouth, and with a spoon in
the right hand place the medicine,
which should be in a powdered form,
back on the tongue; she can then swal-
low with safety.
