Feeding .Many Cattle at Lincoln
Tliis Year.
(IJy John W. Thonia)
A few years epo. after making
tome Investigation as to '.he benefits
of feeding in transit, 1 began reeoni
luending the game. After some fur
tLer observations and investigations,
1 felt like renewing the recommenda
tions. One reason why I feel that I can
fafely make such recommendations
is that the practice of feeding in
transit is proving among successful
ranchmen who ship large numbers of
cattle. The condition in which his
cattle reach the market means much
In dollars to the shipper, and even
many experienced stockmen who
(hip a long distance have learned
that it pays them well to unload
their stock at feeding yards conven
iently distant from the market to
which they are shipping and have the
animals rested, watered and fed be
fore completing the Journey.
Of course, where cattle are ship
ped a great distance, this 1b neces
sary and I think in some states is re
quired by law, but even where the
distance is not so great that they
could not be shipped clear through
without feed, shippers are finding
that it pays to unload if they can do
to at a feed yard conveniently locat
ed and properly equipped to handle
their stock.
In this connection I wish to men
tion a vi6ti which I recently made to
the Lincoln Union Stock Yards, lo
cated at Burnham, southwest of the
city. Harry L. Carpenter, well
known and popular with western
ranchmen, has bene the manager for
quite a number of years and with
tbe assistance of efficient helpers has
built up a big feeding in transit bus
iness at these yards.
By persons who are in a position
to know, these are said to be the
best feed yards in the United States
today. The entire yards are all pav
ed except eight pens. There are 125
dingle and 16 large pens, having a
capacity of 205 carloads.
These yards are supplied through
out with electric lights so that stock
can be easily handled night or day.
With an abundance of good water
and convenient facilities for feeding,
these yards are popular with ship
pers who patronize them, last, but
cot least, is the convenience of these
yards to Omaha, St. Joseph and Kan
fas City, the three markets to which
nearly all of the live stock passing
through Lincoln is shipped
The resting of cattle from twelve
to twenty-four hours at the Lincoln
yards means much to Nebraska and
Wyoming ranchmen who ship over
the Burlington railroad. It means
that they have the advantage of the
best feed yards favilities in the Unit
ed States; that their cattle will be
carefully unloaded, yarded, watered
and fed, and finally reloaded and
forwarded at such time as will in
sure arrival on the market at the
proper hour, looking clean and fresh
and In such condition as to fill
properly and sell to the best possible
advantage, instead of being tired and
worn out from standing in the cars
twenty-four to thirty-six hours. '
Cattle arriving at the market
from a long run, tired and footsore,
cannot be properly "fitted", and as a
result, such shipments will suffer ex
cessive shrinkage. I think commis
sion men generally will agree with
this statement. aCttle arriving on
the market late have no chance to
fill and are at the mercy of buyers
who have probably taken their pick
of the early offerings. By unloading
at the Lincoln yards, cattle can be
put in any of the above mentioned
markets in good condition and at a
seasonable time.
That the above statements are in
harmony with the opinions of ranch
men is indicated by the fact that
feeding in transit is growing, the
Lincoln yards this year having the
largest run they have ever had. It
should be stated here in conclusion
that these yards are enlarged as
necessity demands.

FEELING BETTER
EVERY DAY I LIVE"
Mrs. Oossae train Twenty rounds
Taking Tanlae Troubles
Elided.
, "I've gained twenty pounds since
I began taking Tanlac and I'm feel
ing better every day I live," said Mrs.
J. A. Gossage, of 440 North Lawn
dale street, Kansas Ctiy, Mo.
"For two long years I suffered
from stomach trouble and nervous
indigestion," she continued, "Every
t hing I ate soured on my stomach.
Gas would form and press against
my heart until it would flutter and
beat so fast I felt like I was going to
smother. I had severe pains around
my stomach and there was a gnaw
nig feeling there, too. I was so dizzy
that if I stood up suddenly I would
stagger and had to hold on to some
thing to keep from falling.
"I had tried all sorts of medicines
hoping to get relief but nothing did
me any good until my brother-in-law
persuaded me to try Tanlac. Me
had been greatly helped by it and I
hadn't taken a half a bottle before 1
noticed gas didn't form and make
nie sick any more. Of course I kept
right on taking Tanlac after that and
now I can eat anything I want with
out any trouble and I feel so fine I
can do all my housework without
getting tired. From the way I'm
gaining in strength all the time I am
convinced that I'll soon be a well as
I ever was in my life and I'm glad to
tell others what I thtnk of Tanlac
It's done me more good than every
thing else put together.'
