A MAMMOTH HTOHK
A Place to Visit When in the "Mile
High City"
Once before The Nebraska Stock
man mentioned, as a matter of news,
something regarding Denver's big
store, that of the Denver Dry Goods
Co., and published a cut of their
building. This is one of the many
places of interest to be found in the
Colorado capital, and Nebraskans
will find It an interesting place to
visit when In that city.
Besides having the longest straight
main aisle of any store In the world,
400 feet, "The Denver" has recently
Installed a novel feature In the form
of a moving stairway. While the
building Is well supplied with elevat
ors, visitors to the store may, if they
prefer, be carried from the main
floor to the second floor on a 'continu
ously moving stairway, which some
prefer to taking an elevator.

THE I.AIMJKST PIUMHCINO CX)W
IN THE WORLD .
A noted cow Just now Is a Holsteln
Frleslan cow, Duchess Skylark Orms
by, the new world's champion butter
producer. The results of her 366-consecutlve-days'
test, conducted by
the Minnesota Agricultural College,
show that she milked 27,761.07
pounds, nearly fourteen tons, or ov
er twenty-three times her own
welpht. The butterfat contained In
this year's milk yield weighed 1,
205.09 pounds, this being a fat per
centage of about 4.32.
Figured at cash value, and the dol
lar and cents' estimate Is one of the
prime reasons for the popularity of
the Holsteln-Frlestan cow, and al
lowing 35 cents a pound, she produc
ed about $500 worth of commercial
butter. Think of It! More than
thirty-five 40-pound tubs! The best
previous record for the 365-consecu-tive-days'
butter test was held by
Flnderne Pride Johanna Hue 121083.
She produced 642 pounds more milk,
but It contained 28.62 pounds less
butter than the amount accredited to
the new champion.
Duchess Skylark Onnsby 124514,
who now holds the world's record re
gardless of age, class or breed, was
bred by R. B. Young of Buffalo Cen
ter, Iowa, and Is owned by John B.
Irwin of Minneapolis, Minn. Her sire
Is Sir Ormsby Skylark 47010, and
her dam Is Oakhurst Duchess Cloth
tide 106988, by John of Barneveldt
35865, a bull that was Imported in
dam in 1903.
The new champion butterfat pro
ducer was born Oct. 31, 1909, and
freshened at the age of five years aad
three days. Throughout the test she
was cared for by Axel Hansen, and
never missed a feed, never required
the services of a veterinary, and. was
never fed anything but ordinary com
mercial cow feeds.
Certainly this wonderful "Black-and-White"
cow shows an attractive
profit on the year's ledger account,
for to her production of 1500 worth
of commercial butter must be added
the enormous amount of skim milk
and the value of her calf. It Is an
achievement which will greatly
please all lovers of Holstein-Frieslan
cattle.

CAT CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
family Pet Has Been Formally Cau
tioned that "The Cavt" Is Not
Publlo Property.
Out In Woodrutf place a number of
small boys have banded together and
done what moat boys have done If
they were real for-sure boys built a
cave, says the Indianapolis News. Ap
proaching this cave Is a long under
ground tunnel about two feet square.
What there Is In this tunnel In the
way of side chambers and the like, the
fathers and mothers never will know,
but at the Inside end of the tunnel Is
the den, about five feet square, built
In a side hill and as dark as the most
ravernous depths of a Wyandotte
cave.
One of the youngsters belonging to
the band of cave dwellers hurried
home from school the other afternoon,
donned his cave outfit, ami made for
the tunnel. Crawling in flat on the
ground, he made his way toward the
den. Arriving there, he heard a scram
bling noise Just ahead and two lle:y
spots loomed up in the darkness. His
teeth chattered with fright. He
couldn't back away, he was too fright
ened to go forward, and there was
no chance of escape at either side.
The fiery spots became active and the
boy became panicky.
Just what happened in there the
outside wtrld will never know, but
when the cat It was the family cat
came out of the tunnel it was going
some. No cat ever moved faster, and
It didn't stop until It had reached a
b&ra three lots away.
- And the boy when he emerged his
face was as white as the arctic snow
and he was moving rapidly for the
open. The next afternoon the boy
painted a sign on which were the
words: "The Cave" In white paint, on
a blazing yellow back ground. Gating
proudly at the sign he explained:
"Now, if that fool cat can read, hell
keep out of there."
ONE SET OF BRAINS ENOUGH
Clever Man Makes Mistake When He
Takes to Wife Clever Woman,
Says Writer.
The wife of one of our most cele
brated literary men said the other eve
ning that a talented man should al
ways choose a wife with nothing fur
ther than domestic accomplishments.
"It Is a great mistake for brainy peo
ple to marry brains," said she dec I
, sively," according to London Tit-Bits,
"and, happily, few of them do it. Put.
two geniuses together In matrimony,
and you have put two cats in a bag
nervous, fretful. Irresponsible crea
tures, with no patience and less com
mon sense, who will be always worry
ing each other and tugging in opposite
directions at the matrimonial chain. If
they are both talented In the same line
they will wear each other out in
the expression of different ideas; but
If they have separate abilities, there
will be pretty often a Jangle about
which one is the more Important.
What a clever man wants Is a clear
headed, sensible wife, who will forget
his vagaries In remembering his bril
liancy and remain a constant shield
between his sensitiveness and dis
agreeable things; something, in fact,
like one of those cushions that 'sailors
put down on the side of the vessel to
keep it from Jarring too roughly
against the dock. Look at me, for In
stance; I never wrote a word for pub
lication, painted a picture. cofSposed
music or did anything clever in all
my life. But I make my husband Just
the sort of wife he needs."
Gets His Soup at Sea.
Because be Is bound for London,
where it Is Impossible to secure a sup
ply of the special seaweed out of which
a soup is made that is especially fa
vored by his countrymen, Captain
Takal of the Japanese steamer Kenkon
Maru No. 8, appealed to the customs
officials, the Philadelphia Record says.
As a result Captain Harai of the
steamer Senju Maru, also Japanese,
was given permisson to transfer to
Captain Takal a portion of his supply
of the delectable dainty without which
the voyage would be a dismal one for
him and his crew. Captain Harai is
homeward bound and can soon replen
ish his stock.
The seaweed in question Is found
only in the Orient, and it contains a
gelatinous substance which thickens
the soup, and has a peculiar appeal to;
the oriental palate. In fact, the Japa
nese sailor claims there is nothing else
so good in the soup-making line. It
is found by fishermen at the bottom of
the sea and. washed and dried, it finds
ready sale in China and Japan.
By Lake in Winter.
The deep sense of peace which fills
the woods at midwinter is nowhere
expressed more fully than where a
sylvan lake or pool reflects with calm
surface the grayness of the patient
skies.
Strained by the autumn scourings
of the hills, and the decay of innumer
able leaves, the water Is rarely clear
and bright, as when it mirrors the
clearer heavens of spring and sum
mer. It gleams to the slanting light that
strikes between denser massea of
cloud in tints of yellowish suffusion
from the ralnscoured clay, or in a
strange Jade-green opaqueness.
Where the naked trees upon the
margin of the lake project the whole
length of their reflection upon its un
moved water, they present an im
pression of enormous columnar height,
such as can never be equaled after
the leaves of the summer add sub
stance to the lines of their uppei
Oougbs.

Some Things Accomplished
During the past few years under
the supervision of the Railroad aa
Stock Yards committee, the see
tary-trafflo manager has taken a vesjr
active part in flghtin gadvanoes la
rates and regulations contemplate
by the different railroads; In tiyiar
to arrange for better train service fer
tile patrons of this market; la see
ing that railroad rates In this tefsf
tory are adjusted so that patrons mt
this market may sot be dlscrtmls
ed against: in seouring . reparattesa
for shippers from the different xasV
roads for any overcharges IllegaHr
made by them; la fact, in taking aav
actlve art in all matters that perteis
not only to the benefit of those ess
gaged in business at this market, VWt
to help in building up the live steefc
Industry In this territory.
The Exchange has also taken am
advanced stand on matters of vital
Interest to the stockmen of the usfeV
die West, Including the hearty sv
port of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try in their fight against the foot aa
mouth disease, and in actively es
porting the various state sanitary
boards In their fight to keep disease
live ,stock out of their states, and im
demanding that' the railroads par
back to the shippers the arbltrasr
charges of from 12.60 to 4 per ear
for cleaning and disinfecting atoek
cars. The Exchange has also gone
on record as favoring a strict Inspec
tion of all ruminants as well as hide,
meats and other products entering
this country from any nation where
the foot and mouth disease Is prev

The Live Stock Exchange has
al
ways and will continue to stand
ter
that which is fair and honest beti
man and man. The big end of
the
trading at the Stock Yards each T
is done by word of mouth, and we
know of no business where the vol
ume of trading is taken Into consider
ation, where disputes in trade are s
few and losses from dishonesty se
rare.
One of the greatest benefits te b
derived from the Live Stock Ex
