FILL OF LIYE STOCK
IS ABSOLUTE LOSS
No One Is Benefited by the
Grain Bo Used; Concerted
Action Needed to Cor
rect Evil.
By E. Z. RUSSELL.
Editor Twentieth Century Farmer,
It is a well known fact among live
Btock shippers that the custom at the
market centers is to fill all stock be
fore they are offered for sale. The
hogs are fed corn and are given water
to drink. Cattle and sheep are given
principally hay and water. Often it
it but a matter of two or th.ree hours
after this grain or hay has been fed
to these animals until they are slaugh
tered. Consequently, it is undigested
and of no value to them in the way
ot increased meat supply ot that par
ticular animal.
There is an enormous waste of valu
able food in this process that seems
useless. This applies particularly to
hogs. Hogs in the yards are generally
given an tne corn tney will eat before
being sold and weighed. As high as
two to fifteen bushels of corn is some
times fed to a single carload of sev
enty or seventy-five head. All this
corn led to these hogs is practically
wasted. Under the present Kovern-
ment regulations, the packers are not
allowed to- use this waste corn for any
purpose and it is washed into the
sewer. :
Waste la Enormous.
Anyone can see that in this way
thousands of bushels of corn needed
for human consumption go to waste,
Prom a humane standpoint, there is a
certain amount ot corn that should
be fed to these animals, probably not
to exceed three bushels per car.
It would not do any good for any
individual, any one commission firm,
or the shippers, commission men or
packer to adopt the plan ot ieeding a
limited amount of grain as a fill.
There must be a concerted action by
all these different interests at all mar
ket centers. There would undoubtedly
be some objection from some shippers
if a rule of this kind were made and
enforced, but the net result to the
shipper would in the end be the same
or in reality would save him money,
due to the fact that he did not have
to pay for this grain that goes into
the sewer. This loss, as everyone
knows, if they will just stop and think
a minute, ii charged back by the pack
ers either to the producer in a de
creased pr.ee per iuu pounds in ine
average price paid for the hogs, or in
an increased price to tne consumer,
or both.
Cut Out the Waste.
The waste in the fill given to cat
tie and oheep is by no means that
compared to hogs, as very seldom
are cattle and sheep ted anytning Dut
hay. In our opinion, however, there
could be a big saving of forage if the
rule of cutting out the waste of corn
fed to hogs, as suggested, was ap
plied to the feeding of hay to cattle.
The reason for the fill is the fol
lowing out of an old custom. Why not
look the matter squarely in the face
and get at the facts? It fs foolish to
think we are fooling the packers and
getting m re net money from them,
for tlicv'know exactly the average net
dressril wight of the carcasses of alj.

Only Csven "Alien Enemies"
F ile Names With Marshal
L'niled States Marshal Flynn calls
attention to the fact that only seven
' .'.Hen enemies of the United States"
l ave applied for permission to con
tinue to live or be employed within
one-half mile of the federal govern
ment property.
"Unless they get this permission be
- fore June 1," says the marshal, "they
will be arrested in accordance Avith
the president's proclamation. This
applies to all unnaturalized natives of
countries with which the United
States is now at war, who now live

Fort Crook or the quartermaster's
depot at Twentieth street and the
Union Pacific tracks."
Blanks must be filled out at the

will vouch that the applicant will
abide by the laws. .
McAdoo Well Pleased With
His Reception in Omaha
Secretary McAdoo was well pleased
with the reception and entertainment
he received in Omaha Thursday.
lfrom Belleville, Kan., he telegraphed
Commissioner Mauley of the Com
mercial club as follows:
"Thank you very much for your
successful, arrangements for my visit
to Omaha today. I enjoyed the lunch
eon at your club and was enthused
by the patriotic spirit displayed by
those present. I return to Washing
ton with the most pleasant recollec
tions and greatly heartened by the
certain knowledge that the people of
Omaha and Nebraska will co-operate
earnestly for the success of the
Liberty loan."
. Military Enthusiasm is
At Fever Pitch in Denver
General Passenger Agent Basinger
of the Union Pacific, back from Den
ver, reports military enthusiasm is at
a high pitch in Colorado. Around
the Denver recruiting offices great
crowds surge from early morning un
til night. Bands play, nags wave and
all day something is doing.
Many Omaha recruits are sent to
Fort Logan, near Denver. When
squads of these troops arrive, accord
ing to Mr. Basinger, they are met at
the depot by a band and committee of
citizens. They are marched through
the streets and loudly cheered and,
before leaving for Fort Logan, are
shown many courtesies.

QUIGGLE ADVISES
MAKERS HOW TO AID
Tells Manufacturers How to
Obtain Maximum Results in
Transportation, Froduc-1
tion and Marketing.
Charles G. Ouiele of Lincoln, pres
ident of the Nebraska Manufacturing
association, read a memorial of the
Association of Nebraska Manufactur
ers to the Conservation congress
trinay morning, in part as follows:
Manufacturers are urged to adopt
the following suggestions: ,
first, as to transportation: i
"1. To notify railway companies of
all cars enroute to the factory, of the
name of the originating point and of
the date ot leaving such point.
I. lo use all possible alacrity and
energy in securing a speedy unload
ing and release of all cars.
"3. To give immediate notification
to the railway companies of all cars
being unloaded and when ready for
release.
"4. To load all cars to full capacity.
and to double load and triple load
where possible.
second, as to production,
"I. To nut the factory in the best
possible physical condition.
2. To consider, the distance from
factory as well as cost in the purchase
of all necessary materials.
i. lo increase the personal em-
ciency of every worker in the factory
bv education and co-operation on the
part of the management.
4. lo eliminate an possioie ex
pense.
S. lo institute and install adequate
cost accounting systems.
6. lo remove all dangerous tire
hazards on the property of the concern.
7. To make a physical survey of the
plant as to needs of Coal supply, raw
materials and labor, so that it will be
available for compilation when called
for.
Third, as to marketing:
I. To make a survey of the present
and maximum output of each plant in
relation to consumption and the mar
keting area.
i. lo concentrate the publicity and
selling efforts of each concern within
the least possible territory that will
provide a market for the present or
maximum output of the plant.
It believed that manufacturers
should strive for intensive rather than
extensive markets at this timet"
CLAfflSSA CLAY?
of whom expects to go to the front in
the surgical service as soon as Miss
Schaum is found capable of handling
his practice at home. "No, I do not
believe I will consider going into the
field hospital service myself right
away," said Miss Schaum. "I am,
however, to relieve a doctor here so
that he can go, and later if it becomes
necessary, I might consider going my
self." Miss Clay will leave Creighton
Medical college upon graduation to
take up work as an intern in a hos
pital in Detroit, Mich. There she
will specialize in children's diseases.
with tjie object of avoiding military
service before the permit will be
granted. Violation of the law is pun
ishable by fine not exceeding $2,500
or imprisonment not exceeding five
years, or both.
Grain Prices Take a
Decided Drop Locally
Wheat prices on the Omaha mar
ket were off 4 to 5; corn, 2 to i'A, and
oats, 2'i to i'A cents a bushel. Omaha
grain men contend that the decline
has been brought about by reason of
the government proposing steps to
control the price of all food supplies.
Wheat receipts were thirty-five car
loads and the sales were made at
?.802.85 per bushel.
Corn sold at $1.591.61, with seventy-one
carloads on the market.
Oats fetched 64fi66c a bushel.
Receipts were twenty-three carloads.

John's choir will give a musical pro
gram; Miss Geraldine O'Mally and

Drastic Action to Keep
Canadians from America
Ottawa, May 25. To prevent Cana
dians from evading military service
by leaving the country, an order in
council, effective today, was issued to
day, making it illegal under heavy
penalty for any male person within
the ages of 18 and 45 years, ordinarily
resident within Canada, to leave the
country without the written permis
sion of the authorities.
The applicant must declare under
oath the purpose of his leaving the

Meat Unnecessary
SAYS J. H. WATSON, M. D,
Meat ia the most expensive article
of diet, and the least 'necessary. Add
milk, cheese, fruit, fresh fish, to vege
table articles and you have a good
diet. The rheumatic should abstain
from meats, or eat very aparingly.
It ia a well-known fact that in gout
serious organic disease of the kidneys
occurs. Such scientists as tutcner,
Minkowski. Hans. Vogt and Reach
have shown that uric acid in excess
is retained in the blood when the kid
nevs do not help excrete this poison,
Uric Bcid retained within the body
is believed to be the preceding stage
or cause of Bright's disease. The ex
cessive use of nitrogenous food or
meats often increases uric acid.
Hieh living, intestinal indigestion.
constipation, disturbance of the liver,
frequent chilling of the body all re
sult in retaining within the body an
excess of uric acid.
The best way to overcome this con
dition and prevent rheumatism and
gout is to drink plenty of water, say,
a pint of hot water morning and night
with lemon juice squeezed into it,
and take Anuric (double strength)
three times a day. This can be ob
tained at any drug store. This is my
invariable prescription for the rheu
matic person, and it usually follows
that the rheumatic pains, the back
ache, such as lumbago pains In the
back of the neck or limbs, will disap
pear. This Anuric by its tonie ef
fect upon the kidneys encourages
them to greater activity, and thereby
the uric acid is thrown out of the
system. It is also well to prevent
constipation and that greater evil,
auto-intoxication, to take bending ex
ercises every morning, plenty of wa
ter between meals, and at least once
a week take a vegetable laxative.
Such a one is made of May-apple, ex
tract of vegetable calomel and root
of jalap, easily obtained at any drug
store because sold for fifty years un
der the name of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Advertisement.

Wealthy Thurston' County Island in Discontinuing
farmer, Asks $50,000 Some of Its Sunday
for Alleged Slander. ! Trains.
Angus A. Tliillips, former wealthy
Thurston county farmer and stock
raiser, is suing his two brothers, Oran
B. Phillips and George F. Phillips,
for $50,000 in district court, alleging
that they slandered him and wrecked
his home.
He says as a result of his brothers
"false and defamatory statements re
garding his character" he has lost his
credit, his standing in the community
and his home.
Further allegations are made that
the affections of his wife and family
have been alienated and his home life
destroyed.
rhillios sets tortll in Ins petition
his brothers "wickedly intended to In
jure his good name," adding that
they caused it to be believed in the
community that he was a man of low
character.
A mortgage on the farm home held
by Oran B. Phillips plays a big part
in the suit. ,
Angus A. alleges that Oran B., m
whom he "formerly reposed the
fullest confidence," foreclosed a mort
gage on his home "for the purpose of
breaking down his credit."
The Phillips larm is said to tie one
of the most valuable in Thurston
county.
Omaha Water Board to Buy

The Metropolitan Water board au
thorized investment of JfJ5,000 waler
district funds in Liberty bonds.
Preliminary slcps looking to a cur
tailment of the passenger service in
this section of the country have been
taken. General Manager Holdrege of
the Burlington, chairman of the sub
committee of the committee on. rail
roads of the federa' committee on
national defense, called ou General
Manager Walters of the Northwest
ern ud General Manager Jcffert of
the Union Pacific and in a general
way they went over the passenger
train situation of the cournty from
central Iowa through to the moun
tains, i
At the meeting of general managers
no final action was taken on any of
the propositions up for discussion, be
cause there was no specific data on
which to work.
As chairman of the subcommittee
Mr. Holdrege was instructed to get in
touch with the committee on national
defense and ascertain what is ex
pected of the roads of the central
west.
Mr. Holdrege expects to secure the
desired data some time next week,
when he will call his committee to
gether. Speaking of the prospective elimi
nation of passenger trains and oper
ating the trains under what has been
designated as a unit plan, Mr. Hol
drege said there is nothing his com
mittee can recommend or do until
he is advised relative to what the
schedules out of Chicago will be and
when they will become effective.
The Rock Island has taken the in
itiative in cutting passenger train
service and has announced that, com
mencing next Sunday, it will discon
tinue Sunday passenger trains on the
Audubon and Griswold branches in
Iowa. On the same date the Omaha
Des Moines Sunday passenger train
arriving at noon and leaving at 3
o'clock will be discontinued.
