RUTABAGAS SUBSTITUTE
FOR CORN AS HOG FEED
Nemaha County Farmer Finds Method
of FRttening stock on Cheap
Food.

AUBURN, Neb., Jan. 29.-(Special.)-One
Of the bright farmers of Nemaha county
has found a substitute for high priced
corn. He says the cheapest way to make
pork is to raise rutabaga turnips and feed
them in connection with clover and a little
corn to hogs. Three bushels of corn with
this feed will take the hog through the
winter all right. The feed makes good
pork, too, and at a low price" e Case, a
retired farmer. residing in the south part
OF Auburn, has made public an experiment
he made with beets last summer. He had
one-eighth acre in which the white clover
was dying. He plowed up this ground and
sowed 1t In drills with two pounds of
corn saving beet seed. He thinned the
growing beets two or three times and kept
them we'll cultivated with a hand cult
vator. They grew p%rodigiously and when
harvest time came Mr.. Case found he had,
by actual weight, forty-nine bushels of
beets at fifty pounds to the bushel, making
2,450 pounds from the one-eighth acre, and
at this rate a full acre would produce 1900
pounds, or twenty-four and a half tons.
Mr.. Case has been trying experiments with
the beets during the fall and winter and
now finds that they make splendid hog
feed. The hogs eat them with great relish
and put on fat with this feed at rapid
rate. Mr.. Case states that starting hogs
on this feed the ration should be one-third
each of corn, alfalfa and beets, the corn
and alfalfa being gradually reduced until
the hogs are on a beet diet.

Want Change in Schedule.

COLUMBUS, Neb.. Jan. 29.-(Special.)-
At present the passenger train on the
Spalding branch of the Union Pacific, out
of this city, remains here just an hour,
and that is at dinner time, so that 1t Is
~inconvenient for those from the branches
to transact business in Columbus and re-
turn the same day. For some time the
merchants of this city have been agitating
a change, and last night the question was
brought up at a special meeting Of the
Commercial club, called for that purpose.
The merchants were for the change, but
the hotel men, who claim that they will
lose patronage by people being able to re-
turn to their homes on the branch lines
without staying over night in Columbus,
were not in favor of II. The matter was
finally disposed of by the club appointing
a committee to wait on the Union Pacific
officials and ask that a change be made.

have decided to recognize the men from

said President Thomas L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America at the
opening of today's session of the conven-

mediately several delegates in the anti

BRIDGEPORT, Neb., Jan. 29.-(Special.)
While the mother was absent from the
home the little 2-yehr-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. C. II. Zinser was burned so
badly that she died a few hours later In
terrible agony. 1t is not certain just how
the accident happened, but from the ac-
count as given by the little boy. who is
but 4 years old, It is believed that the
children were playing with coal oil, and
after saturating the little girls clothing
with the oil the boy struck a match and
set the garments on fire. In attempting
to e%Ntinguish the fire Mrs. zinser herself
was badly burned, having arrived in time
to see the baby in flames. The child was
literally roasted alive, the flesh dropping
off in pieces when the physician attempted
to dress the injuries. The body of the
little one was buried in the Bridgeport

Journed In a tumult of shouts after a day
spent in a violent controversy over the
adoption Of the presidents report.
The prosest against the adoption of
Lewis report was led by Francis Feehan,
president Of the Plttsburg district Of the
miners union, who charged that Lewis
had a private understanding with Presi-
dent Taylor Of the Plttsburg Coal COM
pany and that, protecting the interests
of the coal company" he had called off
a strike against the company, with the
result that 10000 miners had suffered a 10
per cent decrease in wages.
Lewis defied Feehan to prove his allega-
ton and read a statement from President
Taylor denying that he had any sort of
understanding with Lewis.
Il cannot help but feel sorry that the
men at home have to read Of the scenes
in this convention" said John II. Walker.
president-elect of the Illinois district.
Duncan Mcdonald, now president of the
Illinois miners, in an attack on National
President Lewis, said that Lewis had used
the national organizers at his command
in the recent campaign for reelection for
his own personal ends.

KEARNEY, Nebo Jan. 29.-CSpecial.)-
Nick Worlds, an inmate of the State Indus
trial school in this city, was adjudged in
sane by an insanity commission Frida
morning. Worlds was operated on about
three years ago and part of his skull was
removed and a piece OF metal set in the
place where the bone was taken from. The
bone of his skull readily knit around this
metal piece and It became very firm set,
In fact II could stand so much resistance
that 1t was possible to zeal him a hard
blow on the head without him feeling it.
Now 1t seems that other ailments OF the
head nave caused him to be afflicted with
epilepsy. Worlds was sent to the school in
1902 from Omaha for incorrigibiity. He
is now 20 years old and has neither father
or mother.

BOYCOTT STOPS HOG BUYING
MOrtOn-GregsOn Plant Will Limit

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. 29.-(spe-
cial.)-Because Of the meat boycott and
the unsettled condition of the meat mar
ket, the Morton-Gregson Packing company
has given notice 1t will discontinue buying
hogs next Monday and for perhaps a week,

BRAIN IS LARGER
WHILE IT SLEEPS
Accepted Theory AS to the Cause
of Ones Inconsistencies
Is Overturned.

Detroit, Jan. 2S--Experiments at the
University Of Michigan overturn a long
accepted theory to the cause OF
sleep. 1t has been said that natural
loss OF consciousness Is due to a les
sened flow OF blood to the brain. Prof
r. NJ. Wenley's experiments show the
opposite. His summary of what has
been demonstrated Is:
The size or volume OF the brain in
creases when the individual goes to
sleep and decreases when he awakes
The size OF the hands and feet in
crease when the man is asleep and be-
comes smaller when he awakes.
In some cases the brain becomes
smaller at first and then increases as
sleep becomes deeper.
striking evidence is furnished that
the size of the arterial pulse from the
brain increases steadily with increa Sc
in volume that Is the dilating of the
arteries after each beat of the heart
is more pronounced. This Is particu-
larly true when the subject is propped
up.
One Of the delicate devices used in
experimenting records breathing
wave" from both brain and hands and
feet.
