Rations of corn and tankage, and corn and semi-solid buttermilk were fed hogs both in the dry lot and on rape pas ture, and in both instances those having access to rape made the larg est and most economical gains. The hogs running on rape ate more corn but less tankage than those in the dry lot. Where corn and buttermilk were fed, those on rape consumed slightly more corn and about the same amount of buttermilk. The corn, buttermilk and rape ration proved very much more profitable than dry lot feeding. Farmers and others wishing a copy of the report on the rape pasture experiment should ask their county agricultural agent for one or write the College of Agriculture, Lincoln, asking for Ex periment Station bulletin 170, "Sum mer Hog Feeding." i4 Effort to Apotheosize the Federal Government, Degrade the States.

"We need apostles who will preach the doctrine that animated the founders of this republic, .that inspired the Declaration of Independence and fired the hearts of the men and women who crossed tho Atlantic and battled with powerful forces and menacing foes to establish liberty and the right of conscience and local self-government and self-determination in the Now World. It is time that the American people should awaken to the fact that it is not coddling by the federal government that is needed, but that the future restti with tho people themselves.

Lincoln Dailv State Journal, 13th. Attorney General Davis i.nd State Tax Commissioner W. H. Osborne have received letters asking if it is true that under a recent ruliog coun ty boards are required to publish the personal tax roll of each voting pie cinct in a newspaper of general cir culation. In reply the state tax com missioner has sent a letter to all county clerks stating that this pub lication is not mandatory, but by law is left discretionary with county boards, but that he advises county boards to cause such publication to be made. By such publication he be lieves more property will be returned for taxation. Mr. Osborne hay in his letter to county clerks: "It is requested by this department that you place the matter before jour county board at its first sitting for their consideration. I fully realize that this is not mandatory upon coun ty boards, but from my knowledge of the results obtained from the publi cation of the tax rolls in counties where it has been tried out in this stute, the results obtained therefrom have been well worth whilo. At any rate, I submit tho proposition for the due consideration of the county boards." Fred M. Deweese, of the legal de partment of the Nebraska farm bu reau federation, whose honaquartera are in Lincoln, has written Mr. Oz- I borne a letter in which he guys if me siate tax commissioner will give It as his opinion that the personal property tax list ought, to be pub lished the public sentiment of tho state is. such that county boards can be induced to makq the publication. Unfortunately we arc nccepting the unsound view that the people arc incapable of. looking after their own tiirairs, Unit they have become so enervated and devitalized that government officials and government flunkies and government bureaus are needed for their guidance ft ml protection. Thero is an elTort to apo theosiVu the federal government, to degrade the states, and to destroy the confidence of the people in them selves, in their own powers, and in their capacity for self-government. Individuals tinder this meretricious doctrine lose their identity in the general mass. There "It is tho desire of this depart ment," answered Mr. Osborne, "to ad minister the revenue laws in a way that will bring out as nearly as may be possible, 'all the taxable property, and if publicity will accomplish the result. 1 am in favor of giving it a trial, and accordingly, I submit the plan to tho several county ponrds for their consideration."

Nebraska Herd Potatoes Praised Nebraska seed potatoes havo again given satisfaction among the Texas growers, according to word received from tho soljth by the Stato Collego oft. Agriculture. About a dozen car loads Of certified seed woro pui chnsed by Texas growers In Nebraska last winter. Somo potatoes pro duced from this seed havo already been harvested and the results were excellent. Early Triumph potatoes produced in tho dryland scctioiiH of western Nebraska appear to bo freer from dlscaso than the same variety from other states. A disease known as mosaic has been particularly de structive in some states. , Nebraska potatoes havo boon tested in the south by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture and by several experiment stations. In nearly ev ery case they yielded an well or bet ter than potatoes from other north ern states.. In addition they wero freer from disease. To encourogo seed potato production in tho west orn part of Nebraska the Collego of Agriculture has established an in spection and certification 'service, whereby growers following a fow rules nnd regulations regarding cul ture, grading, shipping, etc., havo their product certified. This insures good quality for tho purchaser and n bettor price for tho grower. THE HERALD FOlt NEWS OF SERVICE M, A.
