M. V. R. R Nunlh to Leand r Creek. Alar- & Bowlus , dcrltmeri Feed-in-transit rates for the shipment of range stock to the "Missouri river are likely to be abolished May 1. Their use and misuse , with altogether too much of the latter to please the rail roads , have caused the railway freight men of the west to work hard all winter for the abolition of the system. But a few'of the railroads have held out' ow ing to the objections of their patrons , for a big number of the stockmen of the range and Nebraska farmers have stood up in favor of the . > y.stem. Suffi cient pressure has been brought to bear by the majority of the roads , however , to make this action effective bcginniny with May , it is now asserted. In theory the system was a beautiful ar rangement all around , since it enabled the western ranchmen to ship their grass fed cattle to a feeding station in Nebraska or Kan a * at through rate.s to South Omaha or Kansas City , there to .stop for noi to exceed monli.b while the cheap Nebraska and Kansas corn was shoveled into the hungry Steers. When fattened to the con sistence of butter balls , for an addition al $10 per car the cattle could be ship ped on to market on the old through rate. Thus two local rates were avoid- d , and the fanners had a home market for their worn. World-Herald.

" 0 let me drink from the mossgrown pump , that was hewn from the pump kin tree ! Eat mush and rnilk from a rural stump , from folly and fashions free- new gathered mush from the mushroon vine , and milk from the milkvteed sweet with pineapple from the pine. And then to the white washed dairy I'll turn , where the milk maid hastening hies , her ruddy and golden red butter io churn from the milk of her butterflies : and I'll rise at morn with the earliest bird , to the fra grant farmyard pass , and watch while the farmer turns his herd of grasshop pers out to grass.
