, LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 17.-(Special.)-
By reducing the general levy this year' 1
I mill the State Board of Assessment ua
made it possible for taxes to be reduced.
' It Is now up to the county boards whether
the work begun by the state board will
be. followed by the county boards. Had
. the state legislature at Its last session
provided sufficient funds by appropria
tion to pay the total running expenses
: of the state during the blennlum Just
closing the board would have been able
to have made the levy considerably less.
By reducing the levy the 1 mill which
they did the board cut out $167,tUO.tiS from
I the total amount of state taxes chargaOic
to, counties, as compared with the amount
last yeur.
The 1-mlll levy for university and the
H mill for state aid bridges has to stand,
as the state law requires that much of a
levy.
Following is a statement of the levy
made last year, as com par eu with what
the levy will amount to this year on the
general, university and bridge levies:
General Fund-1911, 2,0T8,2o0.37; 112,
IJ.h.NU.sy.ix); a difference of tM,762.82.
University Fund - 1911, $415,1.70.07; 191,
4oS.371.iJ5: a difference at SU.7vl.78.
state Aid , Bridge Fund Ml, 3,1S4.01;
1312, 192,674.37; a difference of W.540.36.
This shows the total amount last year
on a 6H-mill levy to be $2,577,154.45. This
year on a o4-mlll levy the amount will
be $2,409,533.77, making this year's total to
be $167,630.68 less than was raised last
year. While the amount is less, it will
give the state university fund $47,701.73
'more than last year and the state all
.bridge fund $9,540.36, places where it will
probably be needed the most,
The state tax in a large majority of
counties will be less this year than last,
Twenty-two counties show a slight In
crease, but so small as to be hardly no
ticeable. Following Is a list of the
counties with the amount last year, as
compared with this year:

EXPLOSIVES MADE OF pOTTON
Process of Transforming me rmre
Into Smokeless Gnu
- Powder.
Did vou ever think that your pillow case
or perhaps your cotton handkerchief held
all of the potentialities of a powerful ex-
plosive? It may sound strange, but such
is one of the marvels of chemistry and
the mystery of cellulose the tubular or
cellular fiber of all dried vegetable mat
ter. It Is from cotton that we make our
smokeless powder, and it will probably
Interest our readers to learn something
of the way in which harmless, cotton can
be converted into a powerful and properly
controlled explosive.'- .-. , ; ' ' .
When cotton, is steeped in nitric acid,
the material becomes soluble in a mixture
of ether and alcohol if the percentage
of nitration does .not exceed a certain
definite limit. When the ether-alcohol
solvent has later' been evaporated frcm
the nitrated cotton, the stuff becomes a
hard, tough, brown mass, something like
stick candy. When It has reached this
stage having been subjected to various
pressures and properly , dried In the
meanwhile the erstwhile cotton has be
come smokeless powder and Is ready for
service In the guns.
The steeping of the cotton In nitric
acid converts the material into an ex-J
plosive, and from that point onward the
manufacturer does his best to get rid of
all of the free acid 'remaining. This is
necessary in order to make the ' stuff
stable, . and to prevent' decomposition
which may be dangerous as In the case
of the Liberte' of the French navy a few
months ago. The acid-soaked : cotton
the technical man calls it guncotton or
"pyro" is put In vats and boiled for
hours in water to extract most of the
unahsorbed acid. . This is not enough,
however, in the name of purity,, arid the
nitrated cotton or "pyro" Is next sub
jected to a further, cooking cr poaching
in a mill which Is the double of the pulp
ing plant employed In the making of
paper.- After, hours of. this washing
combined with frequent changes of water
the pulped "pyro" is then run through
a press to get rid of a little more than
half of the water It contains. After
this. In order to reduce the moisture to
the required degree, the "pyro" Is put
In press and alcohol is poured on top
of It. The alcohol and the ' prejsure
drive the water out, and enough alcohol
Is left In to form the required solvent
when a certain percentage of ether is
added. The "pyro" lias now become what
the professional man calls "colloldv'-a
cousin to celluloid. Chemically, the
smnkeiejs powder Is complete, but there
are some mechanical operations neces
sary before we have something fit for
military use. Philadelphia Inquirer.

"In five years from now there will b
more cattle In Wyoming than ever," says
J. H. Hammond, a ranchman from Doug
las, Wyo., at the Merchants hotel. Mr.
Hammond is not afraid of a cattle famine
He explains his position In this way: rie
holds that the sheep huslness will rapidly
diminish throughout the west from now
on and that the cattle business will Just
as rapidly take Its place, so that event
ually there will be cattle on great area
of range where there never were cattla
before.
"Cattle will never graze where sheep
have graied. They dislike the odor left
on the sheep ranges. This has kept cat
tle out of great tracts of range In th
west. Now that the range ts being cut
up by farms here and there the sheep
will have to move. Just as soon as sheep
get near a fenced field they go right
through It and into the farmer's field.
Then there Is trouble for the sheepman
right off and he has damages to pay.
The sheepmen are afraid of this and are
naturally moving out of the sections that
have fenced farms scattered here and
there. On the other hand, these fenced
tracts do not affect the cattleman to any
great extent, for the cattle will not
break the fences and wherever there h
a strip of forty, eighty or more acres
of open range lying between fenced farms
trie ranchman's cit!e may graze with
out nelng watched. Thus as the sheep
business decreases there will be tens of
thousands of cattle giaxed on the ranges
where sheep grazed before. This will
eventually be tiue of all the former sheep
country in Wyoming, Montana and all
the hlieep states."

Mr. Hammond says the range cattle are
not coming to market any earlier than
usual this year, except in spots where
the grasshoppers have, destroyed the
range grasses. This, he says, Is the case
this year in his section of the country
Just south of the South Platte river over
a strip of some twelve miles in length.
Mr. Hammond and James Marsden.
both of Douglas, had cattle on the South
Omaha market yesterday. They were
greatly pleased with their sales and said
that the Idea of shipping stock to Chi
cago had been entirely abandoned in
their section of the country, as those
who had shipped to Chicago In the last
few years had compared with prices they
had beeh offered at South Omaha and
had found It would have been to their
advantage to have stayed with the Ne
braska market
