Rape for Hogs 'Vrolltalile
Rape pasture added to the profits
of summer hog feeding at the Ne
braska Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, according to a report of feed
ing experiments as set forth in
Station bulletin No. 170. 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."

is to be a compouiulinj of the people nnd the formation of a huge and
protoplasmic ninss, in which individual activity is impossible, nnd which
can qnly be controlled l3 n powerful and ever-present government.
The picture is not overdrawn. It is before us, and it is painted in
Buch attractive colors ns to allure from the patlm of safety many of the
people of our land.
"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.

PUBLICITY AND TAXATION
State Tax Commissioner A tl vises Hie
Publication of Personal Properl)
Tav Roll In Each Coui'lj.
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."

They had been on tho way since

Midland. The delegation was enter
tained at the homo of Mr. and Mrs,
M. .G. Learner. Saturday morning
Mr. Learner took them to Sioux City
to show them the sights. The enter
tainment they gave was up to our

other meeting on foot in the near
future.
We wish to speak of a thing It has
been our mind to notice for somo
time. It has reference to lost ar
ticles which appear at the church
every little white. There Is a grey
silk muffler at the church since nbout
Christmas entertainment, a pair of
good overshoes there since the Wash
ington's Birthday meeting, and last
Friday night some lady lost a pair of
black silk gloves. These articles
can be had at the church. If tho
owner, if they happen to read these
lines, will phone the pastor, ho will
see that you get them.
The subject of next Sunday's ser
mon will bo: "Tho Call of tho
Church to Her Laymen."

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.
