MANY OUTSIDE CATTLE TO
BE FED IN WESTERN NEBR.
BOX BUTTE GETS A SHARE
Box Butte county and practically
fi.ll of western Nebraska will be
taxed to the limit In feeding caftlo
this fall and winter. Because of a
shortage of corn throughout the real
corn belt, there will be more cattle
fed outside the regular corn and cat
tle feeding districts. Western Ne
lraka will probably te In better
chape than most sections of the
country to handle outside feeders.
The opportunity to buy cattle that
liave been involuntarily forced upon
the market, owing to lack of pas
ture and feed to keep them, has
stirred up a disposition among the
farmers on the outskirts of the
drouth-damaged districts to become
feeder., to the extent of their feed
supply. Thus prospect for higher
rlced beef have detei mined many
who have not been feeders to make
the venture, even on the prospect
of high prices for corn and hay.
The disposition of the cattle of
the country that must be shipped
out of the dry districts is a matter
that will adiust Itself, though in
too many instances necessitating
great loss because of the expedien
cy of moving them. There is Just
the same condition of shortage in
cattle throughout the country that
there was before the drouth devel
oped, and there is room for these
cattle in sections where there s
plenty of feed nnd a very great
shortage of cattle. It is not exactly
because there is no ruotn for the
cattle that they are luing forced
out of the dry districts, and In
many instances sacrificed an over
stocked market. It Is the bringing
together of the farmer with plenty
of fcH-d and the cattle offered for
sale.
The cattle forced out are largely
breeding cattle and sto:k cattle
suited for farm conditions, and
should be held in the country for
future use. The cattle, suited for
feeders will certainly be sought by
the farmer and feeder who has the
hay and corn to feed and fatten
them. The silo will be employe I
quite extensively in providing feed

for many cattle that will be prepar

wiliisu fed cattle will comprise
feeding Industry more general in use
this fall than In the past.
The outside or lorelgn compe
lion in nieat supply dies not pre
sent an alarming aspect, such as to
Rive the cattle feeder any special
concern. The meat product of this
country will be needel at home,
and every Indication now points to
ward higher rather than lower
prices.
HOLD ONTO HOGS IS
ADVICE OF NEBRASKA
VARSITY PROFESSOR
Nebraska has been for many years
one of the great hog producing
states, being surpassed only by Io
wa, Illinois and Missouri. There
were more hops on Nebraska farms
January 1, 1912, than on all of the
farms in the thirteen states cHbt of
Ohio and north of the Ca.-ollnns.
Perhaps in no other part or the
United States can hogs be produced
more advantageously than here, ns
they furnish an economic vay c.
marketing corn and alfalfa.
At the present time tn some of the
localities of the Btate where cr.
has been injured by the drouth
there is a tendency to inarkrt the
hos as soon as possible. Profes
sor UVis of the University of Ne
braska does not believe it advisable
for a man to sacrifice his oreeding
stock because of the short corn
rop. While there may not be much
profit in feeding hogs at the present
price of corn it must be remember
ed that this high price or corn will
discourage hog raising so that we
may expect a short pig crop next
year, and consequently a high price.
We have been raising fewer hogs,
in recent years despite our Increas
ing population. In 1911 there were
nearly 65,000,000 hogs In the United
States and at the present time the
estimated number is a little over
61,000,000. In Nebraska we had I,
267,000 in 1912 and at the corre
ponding time this year we had 3,
798,000. According to the report of
the county assessors more than 114,
000 hogs died of disease in this

Our exports of cured pork have de
creased until they were less than
lti9.000.000 pounds in 1912, a little
niore than half what we exported In
1901.
With the present tendency to save
corn by marketing hogs, before they
are fed out, and the decrease In
production, whnt do you think are
the prospects of cheap pork next
year?
Colcnel William V. Cody (Buffalo
1)111), a figure dear to the heart of
the f ilia 1 1 boy, w hose wild weal
show was recently broken up at
Denver, stopped over between trains
at Alliance today. He Is on his way
to Cody. Wyo., to attend the Tark
county fair Sept. 16, 17 and 18, and
also to organize a party for a game
hunting trip with Prince Monaco,
owner of Monte Carlo.
His trip west is to assemble the
Indians on the Pine H'dge reserva
tion for moving pictures depleting
scenes of the last battles between
the Indians and the white men.
General Netaon Miles will be ono
of the moving spirits In arranging
tho battles that are to be fought
over again. Col. Cody was a briga
dier general of the guards in Ne
braska at the time of the Indian
battles. In the reproduction of
these battles, there will be more
than 300 white men and 1,000 Indi
ans who really participated In the
