The live stock, market, with pack

building located at South St. Joseph,
a suburb of the elty on the south side.
Is an institution of which every cit
izen of St. Joseph and the surround
ing country may be proud.
It is a market worth while and a
Kreat help to th" business of St. Jos

men who conduct tne business of this
market have put it in the front ranks
of live stock markets and have made
It a credit to the city from which it
takes its name.
'While not one of the oldest live
stock markets, this is one of the best
markets of this country. In the live
8toc,k and packing Industry, St. Jos
eph can point with pride to the ex
ceptional total or $80,000,000.00 it
enjoys yearly. The payroll of the
Stock Yards' interests exceeds $3,
000,000.00 annually, more than
1250,000.00 per month.
The enterprise of the officers of the
St. Joseph Stock Yards Company and
the live stock commission firms do
ing business on that market was
shown by taking the lead last year
in putting on a stocker and feeder
show, offering liberal prizes and oth
er Inducements to cattlemen to ex
hibit. It was a pronounced success,
so much that other markets are be
ginning to follow suit.
The St. Joseph Stocker and Feeder
Show this year will be a great suc
cess. With details of arrangements
perfected, this second show will prob
ably be enjoyed by stockmen even
more than was the first, last year.
Premiums amounting to $2,000 will
be offered for Hereford. Shorthorn.
Angus and Galloway cattle. Besides
that, there will, no doubt, be plenty
of buyers present to take the cattle
exhibited, paying topnotch prices for
all, those that do not capture prizes
as well as those that do.

firms at South St. Joseph, where the
stock yards are located, are extend

Pevcloping Sugar Industry .Means
More Cattle and Sheep FVedlnjr,
The enterprising little town of
Bayard, in the Wfvt pnrt of Morril'
county. Is all wvlced up ovjr the
prospect of sec urine it encar factory.
The development of I he beet sugar
industry and the growing of sugar
beets and alfalfa in the North Platte
valley is of particular Interest to
ranch- en because of the bearing on
cattle and sheep feeding, not enough
yet to make any material difference
to Nebraska cattlemen, but It may h
n the course of time, and possible not
many years at that.
The North Platte valley, including
the adjacent Irrigable flats. Is com
ing to be recognized as the best sugar
beet district In the United Etates. and
it will not take long to develop the
Industry on an immense scale, once
the proper interests get back of it,
as they are doing now. The follow
ing Item was sent to the daily press
from Bayard, under date of July 20:
Great Interest is being taken
In this vicinity in the assurance
that the Great Western Sugar
Co. has practically decided up
on the erection of a large sugar
factory In Bayard, one of the
most progressive cities of west
ern Nebraska.
The development of the sugar
beet industry In this section is
keeping pace with the develop
ment of lands available, and this
now amounts to about 50,000
acres. vVith the advent of the
new factory, this figure is ex
pected to be largely n agnifled,
as th soil here is specially
arliipted to sugar beet culture.
Bayard is well prepared for
the increase in population which
the factory would mean. She is
already installing a modern sys
tem of water works, and is ne
gotiating for electric lights,
while sewerage and "drainage
systems are being considered.
One More ling to Host
A public school teacher once put
this question to her pupils:
"Which would you rather have
three bags with two apples in each
bag. or two bags with three apples
in each bag?"
"Three bags with two apples In
each bag." was the surprising answer
given by one lad, while the rest of
the class was struggling with the
problem.
"Why. Harry?"
"Because there'd be one more bog
to bu'st!" Exchange.
