SHERIDAN COUNTY NEWS
COLUMBUS MAN VISITS SONS
Mr. Peter Coupons of Columbus,
Nebr., arrived in Alliance last Thurs
day morning for a couple weeks'
V tall with his sons, C. F. and John
Coupons, who came to this county
from Platte county within the last
few months. John Coupons moved
m 1th his family on Monday of this
week to a farm fifteen miles north
of this city, his post office address
now being Hemingford. C. F. Cou
; ons makes his headquarters at Al
liance with the fine black Percheron
stallion which he brought from
Platte county.
There are a number of breeders of
thoroughbred poultry in Box Butte
and adjoining counties. Improving
.ho hreed of tioultry is a matter of
much greater importance in the de
velopment of this country than is
generally thought. There are not
many people but what would be sur
prised to learn the value of poultry
products in Nebraska as compared
with that of hogs, cattle, etc. The
prospects are that the poultry bust
ness will become more profitable and
ne engaged in more extensively as
the years go by. The profit from
raising a good breed of fowls is muc h
larger than that from mongrels.
For the above reasons, and others
that could be mentioned, we bolieve
the time has come to encourage and
promote the poultry business in
northwestern Nebraska by organizing
a poultry association. If persons
who are interested in this matter and
wish to see a poultry association or
ganized, either for Box Butte county
or for all of this part of the state,
Including "the panhandle of Nebras
ka," will send their names to the
editor of The Herald he will con
sult with them in regard to time and
place to meet to organize, and will
issue a call for a meeting for that
purpose. If you are interested, kind
ly call at this office as soon as pos
sible or write immediately to John
W. Thomas, Alliance, Nebr., stating
that you are Interested In the organ
ization of a poultry association and
give your name and address.
