Unless Nebraska has an unusually favorable fall this year, there will be soft corn in many localities when the first killing frost comes. Such corn is hard to keep in cribs and very difficult to market. Bearing these facts in mind, the Animal Husbandry Depart ment of the College of Agriculture says that serious consideration should be given the hogging down of corn. By this method of feeding not only can the labor involved in harvesting corn be reduced to a minimum but more pork can be produced from a bushel of corn. In answer to an inquiry sent out by the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station, 158 farmers reported that bj hogging down corn they were able to make a saving of 6.89 cents a bushel. Pigs should not be put into the corn field until the corn is dented. If they are put in earlier, the maximum food value of the corn cannot be obtained. The exercise that pigs get from run ning in the cornfield helps to enable them to maintain health and to develop rugged constitutions. By reason of added thrift, pigs fed by this system can be subsequently finished more rapidly for the market than pigs fed in the dry lot. Queer Quirks of News. Montgomery, Ala.—Mrs. Mary Brandon, 91 years old, saw her first picture show as a guest of the Rotary Club, the other day. After her even ing of wild dissipation, she acknowl edged “she enjoyed it if it wasn’t a sin.” St. Louis, Mo.—Enrich Braatz, proprietor of a saloon and restaurant ate sixty-five pancakes in a contest with three other men.

They will spend their honeymoon fig uring out'what relation they are to one another and what their children are up against. London, Eng.—The natives of Mor occo are taming wild camels by allow ing them to smoke cigars. A hole is drilled in a piece of wood, in which a cigar is placed and put in the camel’s mouth. As long as he is smoking he is tractable, but when the cigar is finished, he immediatedly becomes wild again. San Francisco, Cal. — Mabel B. Barnes, a waitress, spilled soup on the shirt-front of Charles D. Powell, millionaire Birmingham business man. She blushed and apologized. Their eyes met. They will be married soon. Berkley, Cal.—Beatrice Millard, 7 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Willard, is a mental marvel. She spoke sentences when 10-months old. At 3, she wrote. At 5 she was reading Stevenson and Kipling and passed the Binet mental test for adults At 7 years, with less than a year’s schooling, she is ready to enter high school. Denver, Colo.—Pearl Sharpe Frank lin, white wife of a full-blooded negro, is trying to prove that she is a negro ess, so that her white daughter may have the right to marry a negro.

It is certainly surprising that any woman will endure the miserable feelings caused by billiousness and constipation, when relief is so easily had and at so little expense. Mrs. Chas. Peck, Gates, N. Y., writes. “About a year ago I used two bottles of Chamberlain’s Tablets and they cured me of billiousness and consti pation.” Obtainable everywherp. Gossip. Gossip! The very name has a nasty sound. You’ll find her sneak ing into the stores, the school room, the churches and societies. You’ll find her masquerading under the name of friendship. You’ll find her leaning over the back fence or edging in be tween husband and wife. No place is sacred to her. She blackens the char acter of men and women and of in nocent girls. She ruins the careers of young men. Suppose a man or women is not as you are or as you may think they should be. Do you know you are right ? Let other people think as they believe they should think, whether it is about politics or religion or morals. Don’t gossip about them, Hell may be paved with good inten tions, but the supporting pillars are the gossipers. Facts About Nebraska. Omaha Trade Exhibit: Admitted tc the statehood, March, 1867. Area, 77,000 square miles. Acres, 49,200,000. Population, 1910, was 1,200,000. Third largest wheat producer. Third largest oats producer. Fourth largest corn producer. Second largest alfalfa producer. Has third largest live stock market in the world. Has largest single creamery plant in the world. Omaha is the largest butter market in the world. Has the largest river within the borders of a single state. Fifth largest butter producing state. Nebraska’s egg crop in 1914 was worth more than all the gold and silver mined in Colorado and California in the same year. Nebraska’s small grain crop in 1915 will be worth more than the world’s production of tobacco and copper. The products of Nebraska soil for a single year would fill a freight train 12,000 miles long. Newport, Rock county, Nebraska, is the largest hay shipping .railroad sta tion in the world. The second largest smelter of fine ores in the world is at Omaha. The counties of Richardson, John son, Otoe, Cass and Nemaha, Nebras ka, produce more apples every year that the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Packed in pound cartons and the cartons stacked end on end, the butter output of Nebraska in a single year would make a column of butter 2,300 miles high. Scottsbluff, in the extreme west end of Nebraska, is the largest single rail road shipping point in the United States. Nebraska’s agricultural and live stock production in 1915 will be worth more than the nation’s output of coal during the same year. Nebraska spends more per capita for education than any other state and has the largest per capita permanent school fund. In 1914 Nebraska’s manufacturing plants turned out products worth $350,000,000. Nebraska’s grand total of product ion in 1914—agricultural, live stock, dairy, fruit and manufactured products —totalled more than $620,000,000. It was the largest per capita production of all the states. Pretty good state to be living in. And it deserves to have you for a booster all the time.
