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.
The following effusion is credited to
i cit\ politician \\lm hop-'d by it to ue'
the -ohd farmer vote. N. I ! li Ba
llot -lit ige V\ilcott :
' 'I would (1e ( { 'rum the city's rule and
la from its fashions and forms cut
loose and go where : he strawbern
grows on its > traa. . id .he goox-lxsrv
grows on its goose ; where the catnip
tree is climbed by the cat as she clutch
es for her prey the guileless and un
suspecting rat on the rattan bush at
pla ; I will catch with ease the saffron
cow and cowlet in their glee as they
leap in joy from bough to bough on the
top of the cowslip tree , and list while
the partridge drums his drum and the
woodchuck chucks his wood , and the
dog devours the dogwood plum in the
primitive solitude.
" 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. "
