FEEDING SUGAR BEETs

Numerous reports have come
in Of late of serious sickness and
death in animals that have been
pasturing in the fields and eat
ing of sugar beet tops. When
sugar beet tops are fresh and
when not used exclusively for
feed, there is no objection to
them. The trouble in this case
has been that they were frozen
during the cold spell, and then
after thawing became covered
with mould, or underwent par
tial decomposition, and We're eat
en- by animals with disasterous
results.
Paralytic symptoms have often
been seen in animals fed almost
exclusively upon sugar beets, or
sugar beet tops. Meat inspect
ors at the slaughter houses re-
port that cattle fed large quanti-
ties of sugar beets show mucous
membrane of the stomach and
bowels of dark color, soft, and
easily torn from the muscular
wall. After several years of OBJ
servation of the feeding of sugar
beets l am satisfied that neither
the beet nor the tops should be
fed without at least an equal
proportion of hay or some other
forage, and that beets or their
tops that have been frozen and
then thawed out are not only in
furious but dangerous at all
times.

to Deputy Sheriff Eddleman
from Hurley that Ezra Revis had
shot and killed Deputy Sheriff
Milligan, at Boice City at eleven
O'Clock, jumped on E. &. Boyl's

bareback had crossed the river
below r. II. Clarl's place going
north, supposed to be Revis.
Last summer Revis was bound
over to appear in the county
court for carrying a siX-shooteI'
and being drunk.
Officers at Dalhart lad notified
the Sheriff at Boice City that they
wanted him. Deputy Milhgan
was ready to start with him to
Dalhart but went to the water
closet together where Regis drew
a six-shooter and killed him, runs

THE BOY THAT PASSED

! ILL ~ 14L-AA l 4NA90AJG
A poor boy, who by dint of
hard work had succeeded in get
ting an education, decided to try
for vacancy in Chicago bank.
While he was in the office the
bank president touched a button
and the banks detective stepped
in. He looked at the boy and
then went away. The president
said, Come back in a week. :"
AT that time the president said
there are forty-siX applicants for
this place. All have been watch
ed for week. Only two boys
passed the character test, which
touched particularly the points of
extravaganza, vice, where even
ings were spent, and the Sabbath
day. All this is strictly business
and not at all an inquisition into
private character. OF the two
you have the best qualifications,
and the place is yours.

The American as a Man
and a Nation

When the San Francisco earth
quake and fire laid the city in
waste and issued an appeal to
the sympathy of the world, the
people of the United States with
one accord began pouring of
their surplus to the relief of
those who had been temporarily
The Springfield herald., 1909-01-15

incapacitated from helping
themselves. Offers came then
from foreign lands. The gener-
Gus of other nations stood ready
to assist in relieving the suffer-
ing in the American city. But
Uncle Sam held W his hand and
warded all back, saying that it
was his people who We're suffer-
ing and that they had brothers
amply able to provide for them,
/. The bigness of the American
heart was never better Illus
trated and millions flowed to
the stricken city. Then Italy
was shaken and with no less
/ spontaniety the people of Ameri-
ca began to dig into their poclS-
cts. No warding hand was
lliftea across the sea, for the
calamity had fallen on a people
less able to Withstand it and
whose brothers were uot5so cap
able of meeting the demands.
1t is to be said for the generosity
OF America that it not only did
not wait for an appeal before
beginning to raise its contribu-
tions and rush forward It's assist
ance, but also had Ita'y protest
ed tits more than prooa1le that
the American people would have
persisted in aiding and rushed
forward their relief, not to be
gainsaid.
Standing as it does as the big
brothe to all the world, America
makes the suffering OF all, its
business and knows no difference
of race or country when man
kind is to relieved. 1t is a fine
thing that it is so. 1t was fine
to refuse to permit other coun-
tries to aid San Francisco, finer
still to be first to go to the aid of
an alien people when their need
became so great. 1t is more
blessed to give than 10 receive;
there is no doubt about 1t. Be-
cause it is the land of opportunity,
the land of high prices and great
wealth, the land in which even
the confessed pauperfares better
than the average toiler in other
countries. it is right that America
while refusing to be a recipient
be dispenser of charity.
1t is because now in its prime
it occupies this position of the
thrifty, the succeeding, the we'll
to-do son in the family of nations |
America is in its maturity going |
to be the greatest patron of the
gentler arts and graces which
civilization has ever known; be-
cause it is great and has a heart |
along with its wealth. The same
laws that apply to the individual,
apply in exactly the same way to
a nation or the people of a coun-
try as whole. America is still
the youth who has his way to
make in the world, who must
earn his right to enjoy and prove
his fitness to possess in order that |
in maturity and old age he may !
enjoy. He is proving himself a
man in a finer, truer, cleaner
sense than ever nation proved
before him, and being great in
these essentials must perforce
become great and be great in all.
Give him time.
