" FARMERS NEED GORNHUSKERS _ _ But Calling Till Their Voices are Hus ky Has Little Effect. Farmers all over northern Nebras ka are going wild in the need of help to husk the mighty corn crop. They are calling out until their lungs are sore and their voices husky although the husky voices don't have anything to do with the husky corn. Wages of I cents per bushel , and board , are being - ing offered and even at that rate the farmers are unable to secure help. There Is no excuse ' .oday for an Idle man In this section of the country. The police hero , within the past few da.\s , have been giving tramps who drop In , Information as to where work can bo had. Hut the tramps reply , "Nay , nay , " and return to the tall h i weeds. Building on Rosebud. "I see many reports about Rosebud land , " said A. Mucko , one of the suc cessful land drawers In the land lot tery just pulled off. "Those who are talking off color must be sore or have It In for the district. Things are booming there. I counted forty-two new houses the other day at Gregory , the new town , and houses are building up rapidly at llurke , another now site. My claim Is four miles from Durkoand 1 drew well up In the hundreds. Stor- rles have been sent out about the great number of people who were willing to throw up their chances for nothing or for almost a song. It Is true that many of those not on the ground who drew numbers , wore un willing to assume the responsibility of settlement , but in the llrst few days after the time for filing expired , the 1- 100 claims remaining were filed on by people who were on the ground and knew conditions. There Is evidence of a healthy growth and not a big boom for which all who are Interested should be thankful.

HALLOWE'ENJS ' TONIGHT Sprites and Hobgoblins and Kids Will Probably be at Large. 'From Monday's Dally. ] Tomorrow Is All Saints day and to night Is Hallowe'en , when the festive sprites , hobgoblins and spooks are supposed to hold merry revel. The small boy and girl nnd their larger brothers nnd sisters are planning to observe the occasion , each In their own way. The little fellows will man ipulate their jackJi'o-laiiterns , throw corn nnd beans , operate tick-tacks , and perhaps apply soap on windows , where It Is not wanted. The larger brothers and sisters may have a hay rack ride , parties , or parade the streets with tin horns and other noise- producing contrivances and on the whole , It may bo expected that the night will be as wild as the police will permit of. Some of the festivltlty was inaugur ated ns early as Saturday night , fearIng - Ing , perhaps , that one night would not be sufilclent In which to accomplish all the bothersome tricks tlmt had been planned. Some of the windows were decorated with their soap marks for Sundny , some corn was thrown and In a few Instances the youngsters exceeded themselves and damaged property. In one instance , in partlc ular , they took the Inborlous pains of tearing great holes In a brick side walk on Madison avenue , throwing the brick into the street. It is possi ble that the police will have a hand in the rame if there is other damage of this kind attempted tonight. The officers are not inclined to interrupt the fun that contemplates no damage to property , but when the limit Is ex ceeded they will be there to take an undesirable part and some of the fun- makers may finish the night behind the bars. There is a difference be tween Innocent and malicious tricks and the chief of police and his assist ants are very likely to use quick I t Judgement relative to the limit , and Imvo the boys In cbnrge before they nn aware that there In mi olllcer In the neighborhood.

VALUE OF OIL MEAL IS SHOWN Gives n Profit of About 100 per Cent to the Feeder The People Who Fattened the World Champion Steer Offer Free Advice on the Subject. Considering the fact that the Ne braska o.xpcM'Imonl station at Lincoln alsed and fattened the steer Cbul- < > ngi > r that took the prl/.o In n na- loiial contest at Chicago , should give weight to the Information given out from that slat Inn regarding the proper feeding of cattle , and bulletin No. 8fi , lust Issued , describing three export- nonts In feeding should be In demand by every farmer nnd feeder In the state , us It undoubtedly contains In formation of value to them. The fol lowing digest of the bulletin Is given : The first experiment , "hay with and without grain for enlvc.s , " was a test to determine the most economical pro portion of grain to roughness for win- ring calves. The results of one winter's feeding confirm those of the winter preceding , when It was found that n light mixed grain ration , four pounds per day to ouch steer , fed with hay consisting mostly of alfalfa , gave cheaper gains I bun when hay only was fed. During ( lie winter months a ration of six pounds per day gave cheaper gains than a ration of three pounds and much cheaper than no grain. Combining the results of the win- tor's feeding with those of the follow ing summer when all lots were given the same pasture , It was found that the three pounds grain ration gave cheap er gains than either the six pounds grain ration or the ration with hay and no grain. With the pasture costing $ ! per ulcer , the exact costs of gains for the your by lot were as follows : Those having six pounds of grain during the winter produced gains at a cost of $ : ! .1G per head ; those having three ( "Minds , at a cost of $3.11 , nnd those having no grain during the winter at a cost of $3.17. The second experiment was a test to determine the relative value of five rations available In Nebraska. Five lo's of yearling steers , ten In each lot , wore fed for a period of six months , from December 2C , , 1003 , to .lime 2u , 11101. It wan an experiment In which I lie character of the roughness played an Important part In the production of beef. One lot was fed on the ration in most common use In this state , vl/ . , corn and pralrlo hay. Another lot was fed the same ration supplemented with a little oil-meal ( llnsood ) , using nine pounds of corn to one of ofl-moal. This food , like cot tonseed-meal and gluten feed , Is very rich in protein. Hnoiigh larger gains were made by adding oil-meal to make the profits just 21 per cent greatei with oil-meal than without. A third lot was fed alfalfa hay and corn. Alfalfa , like clover , Is rich enough In protein to make up for the deficiency of that nutrient in corn. In other words , corn and alfalfa , with out commercial protein foods , make n balanced ration for fattening cattle. With alfalfa and pralrlo hay valued each at $0.00 per ton , the ration corn and alfalfa produced 35 per cent cheaper gain than corn and prairlo hay. Corn , oil-meal , and corn-stover ( stalks without oars ) produced gains almost ns cheap as alfalfa and corn. Corn , oil-meal , and sorghum gave good gains , luit somewhat smaller than eith er stover or pralrlo hay fed with oil- meal. The fact that the cheapest gains ol all live lots were made on 'corn am alfalfa emphasizes the Importance of growing protein on the farm In the shape of alfalfa or clover. The cost of gains being only slight ly more with corn , oil-meal , and stov er , also emphasl/es the Importance of curing the stalks In shocks for winter tor feeding. Corn-stalks In this oxper Intent ( which were early cut and wel cured ) proved just as valuable as pralrlo hay. The third Important fact shown bj the experiment Is Unit when corn am pralrlo hay are most available there should bo fed with it some protein rich food like oil-meal , to make up the detlclency of protein In both corn am prairie hoy. In this experiment the oil-meal produced enough larger gain to make It worth $5(5 ( per ton dellverei at the farm. Its actual cost was $25 per ton. The third experiment was a test with two-year-old steers to determine whether or not oil-meal added to' n corn ration with grass pasture would lessen the cost of producing gains. One lot was fed daily an average of 17.8 pounds of corn-meal per steer , while another lot was foil the same weight of grain , consisting of 90 per cent cornmeal and 10 per cent oil- meal. Kiioh lot was fed on a mixed pasture consisting of blue grass , brunio grass , pralrlo grass , meadow fescue , and u little alfalfa. During the entire period from April 21 to November IS those on corn without Oil-meal made an average dally gain of l.tlU pounds each , wbllo those fed { )0 ) per cent corn and-'lO per cent oil- meal gained 2.02 pounds per day. without oil-meal , 10.9 pounds of grain were required for each pound of gain , whllo oll-menl but 8.8 pounds of grain were required foi one pound of In crease In weight With corn worth : ! : l cents per liusliel , otl-meal $2f > per ton , and grass $ H < m per acre , the cost of producing gains was 1,1 per cent , greater without oil meal than with It. The oll-menl In thl * experiment proved to b ( ! worth $ ! ! per ton. Had It cost moro than that figure , nothing would have been gained by feeding It. The results would seem to Indicate that such a pasture docs not furnish quite enough protein to make up for UH deficiency In cum. 'Hie fact that oil-meal lessened the tendency of the steers t corHoum AmtfSHRDLUCMF steers to scour while on grass may also partially account for the larger gains In their favor.

STRANGER HAS STRANGER WAY OF DRESSING. A VERY "TAKING" YOUNG MAN Drop'ped Into Clothing Store and Was Fitted With Fine Fur Coat Said His Father Would be In to Pay for It , He'd Walt Then he Ducked. A peculiarly bold Impostor secured a line fur overcoat from the Damn Brothers clothing store Saturday night. Ho even had the best one In the hunch picked out , tried on and fitted well. A young man , n stranger to the store , entered during the evening hours and declared ho wanted to buy a fur overcoat. Various styles and sizes were tried on until his clothes rack was gracefully and smoothly cov ered with a handsome garment. He snld he liked the cent , and from the nctlng that followed , It may bo snfely assumed Hint ho did. " .My father will bo in In n few min utes , " said the young man , "and pay for the coat. I'll just wait until ho comes In. " The stranger said his name was White and that ho lived near Hosklns' Ho sat down and walled for the pa ternal ancestor to drop In with his chock hook. Hut father failed to find the store. The young man got restless Sitting down , so he stood up and roamed around the store , looking with eager eyes nt the necktie counter and lookIng - Ing here and there nt the now suits and 'lints. Ho got to be n common place affair , and the clerks , getting busy with other people , didn't pay any particular attention to him. Then they looked up to discover his ab sence. The police vcro notified and word was received from South Nor folk that a man answering the descrip tion bad passed along , but that was the end of the coat. The coat was black. The thief was about eighteen years old. William Wachter will take notice , that on the 21th day of September 1901 , S. W. Hayes , a justice of the peace of Norfolk precinct , Madison county , Nebraska , issued an order of ttlacbment for the sum of $50.00 In ni action pending before him , wherein .lames H. Conley Is plaintiff , and Wil liam Wachter defendant , that prop erty of defendant consisting of money has been attached under said order. Said cause was continued to the ! ! nl day of December , 1901 , at 9 o'clock a. m. .lames H. Conley. QUAIL SEASON IS OPEN For a Month it Will be Lawful tc Shoot the Little Game Birds. This is quite an important date for sportsmen under the game laws of the state , as It marks the opening of the quail season and the closing of the fishing season. From the llrst of November until the first day of April It is unlawful to catch any It I ml of fish In Nebraska , and It Is provided that It shall not be lawful to catch trout until the first of Tune. The quail season Is open for just a nontli , and during that time It will > o a violation of the law If a person kills more than twenty-five of the ilnls in one day. It is hoped , however , by in tiny , that even that amount of birds permitted by law will not be tak en by quail hunters , and It Is pre sumed the farmers especially will be quite likely to refuse the hunting of quail on their premises by gunners. It has been found 'that the Bob Whites are of greater Importance as Insect de stroyers than as game birds and farm ers and gardeners are not likely to fa vor their destruction In any degree. Thousands of destructive Insects are consumed every day by these small game birds and their assistance is of wonderful value In clearing the fields of troublesome insect life. Therefore , while the law says they may'be legal ly killed fqr the next thirty days it Is desirous that the hunters if they must hunt , will be as lenient as'possible with the tribe. The numbers of quail have In creased quite materially during the past few years , but those who have hunted out of season have kept the Hocks from assuming anywhere near the proportions that the farmers would cheerfully maintain about their premises.
