Dead Stock on Unloading Docks.
that anywhere from one to II animals
Suffocate. This is particularly true Of
hogs The shipper should remember
that stock cars frequently stand in
freight yards completely hemmed in
by trains of box cars. Under such
circumstances, if the animals are
crowded in the car and the weather
is hot, overheated and dead animals
are almost certain to result.
Another mistake frequently made is
to load mixed stock without proper
partitions. When two or more species
Of live stock are shipped in the same
car they should generally. be kept
separate by building strong partitions.
This is particularly important when
large animals are shipped with smaller
ones.
1t has been found that shipping live
animals any considerable distance is
an undertaking always fraught with
some risk. This risk, however. may
be materially reduced, in the opinion
of department specialists,
The exact number of animals that
should be shipped in car, naturally,
varies with the size of the car, the
size and kind of animals, the length
of haul, the season of the year, and
weather conditions There can be no
variation, however, in the general rule
that the animals should have sufficient
room to be reasonably comfortable,
and that the car should be so parti-
toned that large animals cannot
trample the smaller ones, and that ag-
gressive and quarrelsome animals can
not injure those with a more quiet and
timid disposition.
Even at the present comparatively
low price of live stock single dead
or crippled animal invariably repre-
sents a substantial loss, and in many
instances wipes out the profit on the
entire shipment.

STOCK
NOT WISE TO OVERLOAD CARS
Death or Injury OF Animals Means
Heavy Loss to Shipper-Tempta-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t makes quite difference In the
profits of the farmer stock raiser
whether he obtains 81a cents per pound
cent per pound for them as dead hogs
and soap-grease material. Which of
these prices he obtains depends upon
how the animals are loaded in the
cars. Many shippers, either through
ignorance or in an effort to save a
small amount of freight, overload or
improperly load their live stock when
sending it to market, and thereby run
great risks of sustaining serious losses
through crippled or dead animals, say
specialists of the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agri-
culture
With freight rates at their present
levels there is a strong temptation to
economic on this item of expense by
crowding a few more animals into an
already well-f1lled car. Representa-
tives of the department, however, who
see thousands of carloads of live stock
unloaded at the great central markets,
are of the opinion that if farmers and
stockmen could see the condition in
which much Of the live stock reaches
the stockyards they would be inn
pressed not only with the folly OF
overlooking, but also with the abso-
lutte necessity of taking every precau-
ton against injury and death of the
animals while in transit.
Overlooking is one of the common
est, and at the same time most serious,
mistakes made by the inexperienced
or careless shipper. 1t seems such an
easy matter to crowd just few more
animals into a car, and the fact that
once in great while an overloaded
car will go through without serious
mishap seems to urge the shipper on
to tempt fate just once more. The
wise shipper, however, will have moth
ing to do with this false economy, say
specialists of tie department. He
will lay down hard and fast rule to
load only as many animals in the car
as can ride comfortably, and from
this rule he will not deviate.
The chances of loss through over
loading are greater in warm weather
than In cold. Temperatures may be
such at the time of loading that the
animals are fairly comfortable, but be-
fore they reach market the weather
turns suddenly hot, with the result

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

MERCHANT TELLS OF
A REMARKABLE CASE

Writing from Maxey's, Ca, A. ].
Gillen, proprietor of a large depart
ment store at that place, says:
81 have customer here who was in
bed for three years and did not go to
meal at any time. She had five ply
sicians and they gave her out. One
bottle of Tanlac got her up, on the
second bottle she commenced keeping
house and on the third she did all the
cooking and homework for family

halted on the lower veranda step In
order that he might not overhear, ana
turned and walked away. McLaurin
followed, and soon overlook him.
Bill Dale stopped suddenly and
faced back to his father.

"Yes," replied John K. Dale, Bobby

He went sadly toward the mansion

When John Moreland and Ben Lit

Ehsre in the dining room of the Blais-
dell, they drank the water from their
engerbowls, threatened with sudden
death the waiter who snickered, and
gound the way to the lobby.

suddenly. Finally he told Moreland,

dives, that he could bear the suspense

out at once for Doctor Braemer's hos

Braemer assured him. Go on; she

Dale drew chair up close to the
white bed and sat down. Babes eyes
lighted at once, and she put hand
uncertainty out toward him. Dale took
tie hand in his. He saw that it was
little pale under it's delicate sunburn.
"Glad to see you, Babe" he told her
softly. "Why do you think you're go

She smiled at him. ''Why, don't

Robert McLaurin's wife, Patricia,

ship that was none the less warm for
being unique sprang up quickly be-
tween them. Patricia declared to her
husband that she was going to keep
Babe-Whom she was already calling
by her proper name, the same being
Elizabeth-and educate her. There
was room in the bungalow, Patricia
said; and she really needed company,
because Bobby was away so much.
Babe accepted little Mrs. McLaurin's
offer as soon as Bill Dale convinced
her that she wouldn't be merely an OBJ
tect of charity. The hill pride's first
law is that one must pay for what
he gets-and it's probably the first
law God laid down for old, Adam in
Eden. Ben Littleford seemed beWil-
dered and blue when they told him of
the arrangement, but he voiced no OBJ
lection. Bale pressed upon him a
loan of a hundred dollars, and or
dered him to give it to his daughter,
which he did. Elizabeth Littleford, Of
course, would need new clothing.

Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-01-27

farmers, and especially the farmers
Of Emmons county, have invested such
large amounts in the packing plant,
and that the results have proven so
unsatisfactory. It was not so many
months ago that Sen. Ward wrote a
letter signed in the Free Press paint
ing most glowing pictures of the
packing plant. The Record has new
er believed in the thing as sound
business enterprise, but many of its
proponents have howled that we were
''for Big Business" because of such
belief, and so we have had little to
say on the matter, especially as any
possible losses would only be sus-
tanned by the men who. went into it.
But, note what the Courier-New
says about the state-owned industries.
They say it is hard for cooperation
to succeed because it is hard to get
efficient management. BY adding a
batch of politics, we are then to sup
pose it becomes easy to get such nee
essary efficient management. His
tory doesn't prove it. Neither does
the leagues own ranters. Further,
we are told the state enterprises are
in the public eye more, and cannot 60
wrong for as long time, etc. Pray,
why not. The stockholders in the
packing plant certainly know as much
