IN THE FIRE HOLE.

The captains fine in his coat OF blue.
The mate is big and handsome, too
But OF the hundreds in the crew
It's the coolies who make her go!
Eight hours off and four hours on,
Shoveling coal till the voyage is done
Stirring the flame till the race is won
Sweat the coolies who make her go,
Not even a name on the ships pay
roll,
only a number to take its toll,
Just small mites in the human
whole
Naked coolies who make her go!
No hint above of what's below.
Keeping alive the fiery glow,
Driving the engines fast or slow
Yellow coolies who make her go,
Tumble 'em up from the hell in the
hold,
See how they shiver out in the cold.
Eyes like a cats and faces of gold.
These, the coolies who make her go!

THE AUDITORIUM ATTRACTIONS
Two Good Shows Promised Next Week
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.


Valley fair visitors will find plenty
to amuse and entertain them at tn,
auditorium Tuesday. Wednesday ant
Thursday evenings of next week. Oh
the first two evenings mentioned Georg,
NJ. Conan s popular musical piece
Forty Five Minutes from Broadway
will be the attraction. while ON Thurs
day evening there will be perform
ance of CLYDE Fitch s famous comedy
| The Blue Mouse. Both of these piece,
are sparkling, laughter-producing affairs
well suited to the occasion on which
they appear here, and there is no doubt
that they will be greeted by big audi
ences.
In the Conan show the characters OF
| Kid Burns and Plain Mary are imper.
sonations well known TO the american
stage and therefore require no intro
! duction; suffice to say that both parts
| call for versatility on the part of the
actor and actress impersonating them
| that is unique and is said to be handled
| in an exceptional manner by Barnard
| Riggs and Alice johnson. Miss John
son has a beautiful singing voice and a
clear, conception of Mr.. Cohan g charac-
ter and interprets it accordingly.
There are three acts and the scenes are
laid in New York city's suburban town
of New Rochelle. The book of this musi-
cal play is so logically written, with so
logical conclusion. that it does not de-
pend on scenery for existence, but i'm
proves in value with age as does any.
thing of literary merit. The slang of
Kid Burns is unique, but so much to
the point that the most hopelessly
erudite can grasp it; and there is no
tediousness because each situation is
relieved by dashes of real wit and a
chorus of beautiful girls singing the
tuneful songs that are among the best
COMPOSITIONS of the famous act0rau
thor composer, George M. Cohan.
To hear little Wanda Ludlow pull off
the slanoiest slang as the Blue Mouse is a
revelation to her friends who have here
tofore known her as demure thing.
1t was for this same occurrences and
charm of manner that the late Clyde
Fitch, author of this sensational farce,
selected her for the rather dlillcult
part. Known as the Blue Mouse,
Paulette Divine, dancer, for $1,000
month. undertakes to impersonate the
real Mrs. Rollett, whose husband is see
rotary to Llewellyn, president of the In.
r-State railroad, and who wants to
be promoted to division superintendent.
There is also a very much alive Mrs.
Llewellyn and a Papa Rollett, both or
whom. as well as the real Mrs. Rollett,
are drawn into the general turmoil. Also
there is a lover Of the Mouse, who comes
all the way from Frisco Just in time to
get in the mix-up. The whole story OF
the farce, which at times becomes bit
suggestive has been so cleverly handled
nv Mr.. Fitch as to call forth the com
ment by Charles Darnton, the well
known dramatic editor of the New
York Evening World: cit was as sim
pie and above board as Rector,s with
all Broadway staring through the win.

men when the strike was called of has
never been paid and number of old
employees have received notice durin"
the summer that their services were no
longer needed. While infraction of some
minor rule was given MS the cause the
men have understood that they were
discharged because they were interested
in having the company carry out It's
promises TO the men when the strike
was called OFF.
On the southern division of the Cen.
trail Vermont all strike.breakers were
discharged soon after the strike but on
the northern division MANY of these
men have been retained in the employ
of the company. This action has natur.
ally made the old employees look with
suspicion upon the company as regards
the wage scale after the first of the
coming new year. II was part of the
agreement between the strikers and the |
railroad that all employees should be re.
turned TO work as soon as possible and |
this has not been done according to
statements of men who work on the |
northern division.
Local railroad men say that the only !
way to have a successful strike on the I

it in that condition in 1871 for $50

and saw field of corn that would
husk at least eighty bushels per acre,
the land producing seemingly better
than it did fifty years ago. What did
it? | found Swede there milking
eighty COWS, selling nothing but the
cream, putting everything else back
into the land. l asked him the value
of the land now, and he said he could
sell for 800 per acre. That shows
what stock will do for land. That
Swede, they told me, first rented the
land. Now he owns it. He is grow
ing richer every day and so is his
farm. But where you find one farm
that has been so intelligently treated,
you will find ten that have raised the
danger signal. Ten that are not pro-
ducing thirty bushels to the acre be-
cause the "modus operandi' has been
all checks and no deposits.
In my Judgment Illinois is suffering
from tenantism worse than any other
of the corn belt states. The Lord
gave to Illinois almost the richest
soil in the world. 1t responded and
responded until they came to think
it was inexhaustible. Much of it is
rich yet and producing bountifully,
but at least one half of thier land
some time ago reached the limit and
is going fast the other way. You may
travel for 200 miles in some parts OF
the state and not see as much stock
as you will see in Iowa on the average
section of land. Swift's man told me
that last year they shipped 2, 900 car
loads of fertilizer from Chicago to
the southern states, when he said
every pound ought to have stayed in
Illinois. And then, the soil losses
from washing are something appall-
ing. The commissioner of soils at
Washington says that the amount of
dirt annually washed into the creeks
and rivers and finally into the sea is
equal to a pile of dirt one mile long,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-15

one mile wide and, LOCO feet high, or
1000 farms of GAO acres each with a
soil depth of one foot. Thousands OF
farms in the south are already gone.
Twelve thousand farms in New York
state alone checked dry and washed
away. What is to be done to prevent
all this? Grass the land and get it
into sod as quickly as possible or
you will leave your grandchildren
with an empty bank account. Mr..
Farmer, you don't own this land, you
are simply the agent of the Almighty,
you are simply for the time being
the officer in charge of the bank, and
if you allow its funds to be washed
and squandered, thereby endangering
the interests of the millions yet to
come who must depend as have you
on this same land for life itself, the
law should hold you accountable.
Mr.. Nebraska Farmer, take warning
from the mistakes OF others and profit
by their errors. Don't think as Ill
inois did, that any land can get too
high to raise good stock on. Do your
work with mares that will raise a
yearling colt that will bring at least
$500 each and often $500, for work
horses that sell now as geldings at $500
to $500 each. Today a good pair OF
working horses weighing l, 800 pounds
each with quality will sell from 800
to 1000 per span. Twenty seven
head did sell in Sioux City this fall
at auction for an average of 1923 each.
Keep good stallion and make him
work on the farm. He will be that
much surer breeder. A good stallion
will breed your own mares and earn
enough outside to pay. the salary of
two or three hired men. Keep some
good COWS, sort them out just as care
fully as you sort your seed corn. |
sold the University Farm of Nebraska
a Shorthorn COW for $3.50 that made
this year under the management of
Professor Hacker 494 ponds of but
ter, and the bull calf she raised sold
for 5000. But call her average calf
S75. You can make steer of it and
get that.
But going back to the subject of

hate to leave it. | was forcibly struck
last June in travelling through New
England with the way the farmers
there care for their manure. They

save it as carefully as they do their
cream. | saw few barns or yards
where there was a load OF manure in
sight. Go into their large barns and
you will find a bin where all the
manure is kept until put on the land.
Those who keep no stock have put
from 800 to 1000 pounds of fertilizer
on each acre each year before they
plant their crop. They would no
more think of trying to raise a crop
without it than they would to draw
a check on a bank where they had no
cash. Mr.. Farmer, are you taking
care of your manure? You had better,
for each load of it is just SO much
cash.
Secretary Wilson says there are
many thousands of abandoned farms
today where all the soil is either
washed off or it's productivity gone.
But, Nebraska will never come to
that Today science is in the saddle.
Our agricultural colleges are turning
out an army of scientifically educated
students who study the soil as a
minister studies his Bible, or an at
torney or a doctor studies his cooks.
In my judgment the best assets that
any county can acquire is to scatter
these agricultural scientists over our
lands. They will prove to be light
houses on the hills helping the ig-
norant to keep off the rocks. Some of
the old mossbacks may smile, but
they will watch as eagerly for pointers
as a cat does for mouse.
Alfalfa. I christen it the farmers
soil saver. A man who owns alfalfa
land has mine of gold or better, for
a gold mine can be dug dry, but an
alfalfa mine never. Two and three
hundred dollars per acre will not be
too high for we'll preserved Nebraska
land in the near future. With proper
farming it will pay good dividends
on those prices. The world must stop
finding gold in such quantities, or
good land will continue to rise, for
as the precious metals increase and
the dollar gets cheaper. so will real
estate increase. We dug more gold
in 1908 than any year in the worlds
history, nearly one-half billion. More
in twenty-five years just passed than
in all previous years, and it is pre-
dicted by those best able to judge
that the next twenty years will double
the amount of gold now on hand. So,
Mr.. Farmer, keep your land rich and
reap your reward.
