Feeders Day.
Whether or not it pays to cater to
a steer's "sweet tooth" by feeding
can molasses is one of the questions
to be answered at the seventeenth
annual Livestock Feeders Day to be
held April 19 at the college of agri
culture in Lincoln.
One lot of steers has had a barrel
of can molasses in their bunk all the
time in addition to the standard Ne
braska ration of shelled corn and
alfalfa. The check lot has received
the standard ration. The steers are
yearlings.
Good speakers of a national caliber
are being secured. Plans are being
made for an attendance contest be
tween counties. Number attending
and distance traveled will likely be
the important points considered.
The old cows to be seen and dis
cussed at the Feeders Day are typical
of those which the rancher sends to
market off grass in the fall. Prof.
H. J. Gramlich picked them up as
cutters and canners last fall. They
have had alfalfa hay and either shell
ed corn, ground corn, or ground snap
ped corn.
The old ewes are broken mouthed,
the kind that, many farmers pick up
in the fall, lamb out early, and sell
again with their Easter lambs. Prof.
A. D. Weber wlil report their "room
and board bill" for the winter, and
be ready to discuss the possibilities
of sheep production in Nebraska.
Plattsmouth Clubs Win Trips
One boy and one girl ranking
highest in the club work in the

Jealousies.
Is a jealous disposition inherited
or is it learned? The 56 women at
tpnriine the meeting conducted by
Miss Saunders of the University of
Nebraska decided that jealousy is
learned. Parents as well as fond rel
atives ahe often the innocent teach
ers of a jealous nature, then later
wonder why the child feels and acts
as he does. If you have any problems
along this line plan to attend the
next meeting, Tuesday, April 18th.

BUYS A NEW F0ED
II. If. Dehning and son, from
noar Louisville, were in the city for
a few hours today, and while here
were pleasant callers at this office.
Among other trading values that Mr.
Dehning found in Plattsmouth on
Wednesday was the purchase of a
new Ford car from the Plattsmouth
Motor company, also the renewal of
hi.-; subscription to The Journal.
There is but one fault that we can
find with farmers like Mr. Dehning.
and that is he does not come to
Plattsmouth as often as we would
like to see him. When that new
prravel road is completed between
here and Louisville, perhaps it will
be different.
OLD PIONEERS HERE
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wilkin and son.
Fred, of near Elmwood. were in the
city for a lew hours today, doing
some trading and visiting with tne
county seat friends. While here, Mr.
Wilken was a pleasant caller at the
Journal office. Mr. and Mrs. Wilken
are truly Cass county pioneers, Mr.
Wilken landing in Plattsmouth in
1873, when his parents settled on a
farm just north of the present coun
ty farm site, in the Wiles settlement,
all of whom were his neighbors at
that time. He has resided In this
county continuously ever since 1873.
and has been one of the most sub
stantial citizens.
