McCOOk Scored Second.

While it would have afforded The
Tribune greater JOY to have been able
to report the winning of a first prize by
McCook in the State Declamatory Con.
test in North Platte, last Friday even,
ing, nevertheless we have much pleasure
in recording the creditable fact that our
representative Miss Gertrude Morrissey
won the second prize in the dramatic
class. This is no small distinction
when it is considered that the work of
selection had in all three classes been
reduced to a fine point and that talent
of a high order was represented in each
of the three classes So we congratu-
late Miss Morrissey and felicitate the
McCook high school.

was married to Miss Clara Higgins,
June, 1907. To this union was born
one child, Chester Teddie, aged Is

at North Platte at the time that he
was hurt by a horse, In injury from
which he never recovered.
He was brought up by Catholic
parents, and was baptized as a Cath
Ollie before his death at his request
On account of the opposition of his
wife's folks the remains we're taken
to the Methodist church and were
afterwards buried in Longview GEM
etery.
He leaves many friends in Nc
Cook to mourn for him, for he was
a good and true boy to his parents,
and a kind and loving husband to
his wife, who will ever cherish his
memory. He leaves a father, moth
er, sister and brother to mourn his
loss. While they all feel deeply af-
flicted, they feel that he is at rest
with God, and they all trust to see
their dear one some time. He is

Death of Henry b. Pickens.

The Tribune has but brief news Of the
death of one of Red Willow county's
early settlers, Henry III. Pickens. His
serious condition has been known for
some time and his death was not unex
pected.
Death claimed him, Monday of last
week, April 25th, at Escalon, ali
fornia, and his remains were laid in
Oakdale cemetery near that place on
April 9th.
This paper has for a quarter of a CEN
fury accounted the departed one of its
choicest friends. Something like two
years since be and his estimable and de-
voted wife moved to California in the
hope of improving their health and
lengthening the span of life in that more
genial CLINE, but in his case it was not to
be 80, and the seeds already sown o
blossomed in death.
We have not at hand at this writing
data of an accurate sort, but in a gener-
al way the late II. H. Pickens has been
Unidentified with the early settlement
and development of Red Willow county,
having lived more than quarter century
on a farm a faw miles southeast of Nc
Cook. He Vas one of the early COM
m%issioners Of the county. He was a
man Of staulch ideals and a friend of
finest fiber. He is survived by a wife
whose devotion to her husband has been
an inspiration to all who have had the
pleasure Of their friendship.
The Tribune freely adds its deep and
genuine sympathy Tor the bereaved but
~ourageou wife.

mentsl work has been done in this
country on barley to determine it's
value compared with other grains and
to show the quality of pork it is ca.
pable Of producing. The Danes have
recognized its merits as a feed for,
swine in the production Of high.class'
bacon and 1t Is the grain most uni
versally fed in Denmark for pork pro-
duction.
Barley is fed quite generally in this
state to swine; in fact 1t is used more
az hog feed than any other grain.
This trial was made to show how
1t compares with corn. The price VII,

discrimination made in the price of
barley that has been colored or
weathered to any extern, that the
price of the lower grades makes it
cheap feed. Too often barley Of an

A bunch of IL pigs Of spring tarrow

uniform as possible IL relation to
size, thrift, breed. etc. Each 10, con-
tanned two cross-bred Yorkshire-B erk-
shires. two Yorkshire Poland Chinas,
two Yorkshire-C Chester Whites. and one
pure-bred Chester White. These pigs
were approximately eight months Of
age at the beginning Of the trial.
Each lot was confined in pen in the
piggery with small yard adjoining.

when the weather would permit.
Lot l was fed a ration consisting Of
four parts ground barley to one part
of shorts by weight. The grain was
soaked between feeding periods and
fed moderately wet. Lot was fed a
ration OF four parts ground corn and
one part of shorts. The feed was
fed in the same manner as it was fed
to Lot /. the feeding period contin.

lot. The amount Of grain required to
produce a pound of gain was 5.74
