THE PORK SPECIAL
WILL BE IN O’NEILL
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2ND
The “Profitable Pork Special” train
will open its doors in O’Neill the
morning of October 2nd, according to
plans completed today by the local
committee, composed of Dr. Finley,
H. L. Bennett, Neil P. Brennan, Mrs.
Luella Parker, L. E. Downey, Val
Kuska, colonization agent for the
Burlington railroad, and R. E. Holl
and, representing the agricultural
college.
O’Neill is one of sixty-one stops
which this six-coach train will make
on its tour over the Burlington lines !
in Nebraska this fall. The exhibits
are being built and arranged by the ,
agricultural extension service and the
animal husbandry department of the
Agricultural College. Faculty mem
bers from the college will also travel
with the train to discuss the exhibits
with the visitors who go through the
coaches.
The hog special will carry exhibits
carrying the message of hog lot sani
tation, efficient pork production,
breeding, feeding, and marketing of
carlots of hogs. Records show that
hogs furnish about one-third the in
come of Nebraska farmers. Actual
experiences of many Nebraska farm
ers who have been in pig crop con
tests and hog lot sanitation projects
will be the foundation for the exhib
its.
Railroad men and college men say
this will be the best special train of
its kind. It is entirely educational
and will serve to reach a large num
ber of farmers in a short period of
time.
The committee on arrangements
have extended an invitation to the (
schools of Boyd, Keya Paha, Rock
ai.d Brown counties to be here on
October 2nd and visit the train. It ,
is the intention of the committee to
make it a Holiday in O’Neill. Plans
are being completed for a number of
school activities of interest to every
one. The trip to O’Neill on that day
will be one well spent by everyone in
the county.

OIL BEING SPREAD ON
O’NEILL-BARTLETT ROAD
The Imperial Trucking Company,
of Kansas City. Missouri, arrived in
O’Neill the first the week with
their outfit and this afternoon began
spreading the oil on the nine miles
of road that has recently been grad
ed beginning three miles south of
O’Neill on the O’Neill-Bartlett high
way.
The writer enjoyed a pleasant vis
it with John Fischer, in charge of the
oiling operations, and R. A. Meese,
representative of the Central Bridge
Co., of VVahoo, who have the con
tract for the work. We learn from
these gentlemen that about forty
cars of oil wi 11 be required to com
plete the job. The oil will be heat
ed in the tank cars and hauled to
the road in a 665 gal. tank mounted
on a truck; oil will go onto the road
at n temperature of 140 to 150 de
grees F.; about one car of oil will be
spread per day. After each applica
tion of oil the road is disced; after
the fourth application of oil, a layer
of sand is added and thoroughly mix
ed with the four applications of oil;
then four more applications of oil;
are applied in the same manner and
again the sand is applied and anoth
er thorough mixing is given the en
tire mixture with a large grader.
The oiling of roads is practically
a new venture in road building but
if this experiment proves to be as
good as many think it is, the sand
hill country can have as good a road
as those who reside in the hard dirt
country.
