favoring nor opposing the petitioned
reduction of tolls on the combination
bridge was taken at the meeJ'ng of
eighteen members of the board of
directors of the Commercial club
last night. A resolution calling up
on Secretary of War Newton D.'
Baker to conduct an investigation
tion and make a decision at the ear
liest date practicable was adopted
aftor it had been discussed. Argu
ments in behalf of the position of
the Dakota county, Neb., citizens
and business men who' have signed
the petition for toll reduction were
presented by Attorney Ward Evans,
of South Sioux Citv. who nirnfl fhn
schedule of tolls enforced at Omaha
and Kansas City bridges. The posi
tion of the Missouri River Bridge
COmDanv. the enrnnrnrinn nwnintr
the bridg.?, was announced by E. A.
Burgess. The following resolution
was adopted: Whereas. A petition
has been presented to the secretary
of war signed by many citizens of
Dakota county, Neb., and of Sioux
City, la., praying for a reduction of
tolls on the combination bridge; and,
Whereas, The feeling that there
should be a reduction is shared by
many citizens of Sioux City, the di
rectors of the Sioux City, la., Com
mercial club therefore pray the sec
retary of war to fully investigate
tins matter and to render a decis
ion at the earliest possible date."
It is only a question of days, it was
asserted at the meeting, when the
matter of toll reduction will be fully
and finally determined by Secretary
of War Baker, who under the bridge
charter is the sole and only authori
ty asto tolls that may be exacted.
Both sides to the controversy are
now eneatred in thn nrnnnmtinn nf
data as evidence to be submitted to
Secretary Baker.

Farm Notes'.
Issued by the University of Ncbrnskn
College of Agriculture.
SPKCUL, TEIIM OF SCHOOL
Every boy and girl who was unable
to attend school this fall and who
would find it necessary to leave
school early in the spring should
write to the School of Agriculture,
Lincoln, Neb., for particulars re
garding the special term which will
open December 3. This term, which
will close early in March, will be
open to any boy or girl who has
finished the- eighth grade.
At the same time the university
proper will hold a special term clos
ing a month later early in April
which will be especially for the
young men and women who have
had a high school education. Prac
tically ali general courses will be of
fered the same as the bomnnintr nf
uie regular school year.
Among the agricultural courses to
be ofFered in both the college and
school of agriculture are farm man
agement, dairying, horticulture,
poultry husbandry, diseases of farm
animals, live stock judr 1g, soils and
fertilizers, blacksmithin. and carpen
try. Manv innuirps am hoinrr ro.
Lceived and those planning to attend
should notity the Registrar of the
University or the Principal of the
School of Agriculture at once.'
FATTENING POULTRY FOR MARKET
The season of greatest demand for
market poultry is approaching.
Most of the market poultry on the
Nebraska farms and town lots can be
profitably fattened if good rations
are fed and the stock is handled in
the right way, according to the poul
try department of College of Agri
culture. A grain ration of GO per
cent finely ground corn meal and 40
per cent shorts, moistened with but
termilk or skim milk to a mortar
like consistency, makes a very pala
table and highly digestible ration.
Full feeds should not be given at
first but each feed should be increas
ed until on the third day the birds
are getting all they can eat in a
twenty-minute feeding period,
mornintr. noon and niirht. Best. m.
ults are secured when the birds are
uiauuium iu a crate or a sman yard.
WINTER BEES
Preparations should be made now
for winter bees, according to the
department of entomology of the
College of Agriculture. The tem
perature of the hives should be kept
at about 57 degrees. If the temper
ature is below that the bees will
spend their energy keeping warm,
while if it is very much above they
will fly from the hives. With a tem
perature of around 57 degrees, the
bees remain in almost a dormant con
dition, thereby saving their energy
for spring.
If wintering out of doors is con
templated a good plan is to place
each hive within a box about six
inches greater in its dimensions than
the hive, and fill the intervening
snace with sawdust or lnavna. A
small tunnel should be lef for an en
trance to the hive. The entrance
should also be kept free from ice so
as not to suffocate the bees.
VACCINATE AGAINST BLACKLEG
Now is the timn tn vnnmnntn
acrainst blackleir. according to thn
department of animal pathology of
the College of Agriculture. Cattle
up to two years of age are suscepti
ble and vaccination should be done
twice a vear. The irovernment vac
cine is supplied free of charge thru
the University and there is really no
excuse for large losses from the dis
eases. SORGHUM PLANT IN GAGE COUNTY
A promising industry has been
started in Gage county thru the ac
tivity of the county agent. Early in
the season enough seed was put out
to plant 85 acres of cane and a num
ber of people were interested in the
establishment of a sorghum plant.
A fine quality of molasses is being
turned out and it is believed that
next year will Bee the cane acreage
doubled.
