Mr Jacobson one of the firm of
cobson Bros of Gregory Avas m the
Tillage Monday and paid this office a
very pleasant call lie informs s that
on or about January 21 eighteen head
of cattle were misspd from his feed
ards and although he has searched
the entire country for them they have
not yet been found and he is of Ue
opinion -that they hrave befen tstolen
ThejT bear his brand which appears
elsewhere in this paper and were in
very good flesh Considerable stuff has
disappeared from this county lately and
an impression is growing that an or
ganized band of rustlers
its work
is getting in

Cape Colony and Natal in South
Africa have suspended their duty of
four cents per pound on fresh meats
Remember that the state brand com
mission will meet in Lincoln again the
middle of next month If you havent
your brand recorded yet send it in at
once or some one else will be ahead of
you This is a matter of considerable
importance and suitable brands are be
coming harder to secure every day
A special dispatch to the World
Herald from Sheridan Wyo says
that stockmen in that section are con
siderably worried oven heavy losses of
late and from a peculiar and unusual
cause During the past few weeks
many calves have been dropped prema
turely and on some ranches the losses
is 50 per cent Efforts will be made
to have the state veterinarian come
here and investigate the cause of the
trouble The cows seem to be in good
health and no one seems able to explain
the mystery
o
Stockmen as well as farmers in this
section are lioping that we will receive
a heavy rain or snow ere long The
sand hill country is dry as a bone
and if moisture does not fall soon the
grass will be very late in starting if it
starts at all The country immediately
south of Valentine has been grazed
very closely and the sand is in good
condition to blow thus killing the
grass All our stockmen seem to have
plenty of hay and as cattle are in good
condition a snow would not be of dam
age to the industry Later About
two inches of snow fell Tuesday
From an exchange we learn that a
chemical dehorner in use in the east
ern states and successful in all cases is
made of caustic potash the application
being very simple Any calf under
one month of age may be successfully
operated upon Remove the hair from
over the budding horn with a pair of
scissors moisten the spot with a few
drerfe of ammonia to remove tjje oily
secretions of the skin moisten the
stick of potash with water and rub
carefully It will make a slight sore
but if carefully done no horn will ever
grow -
For several weeks we have published
extracts from President Springers ad
dress to the national association and
this week we present these sentient re
marks
No stockman will prosper who does
not read and liberally advertise in
stock journals papers and magazines
The stockman who gains the greatest
reward will be he who places quality
above quantity in all of his dealings iu
live stock
No state can realize a heavy immi
gration that is not liberal with the live
stock interests
No railway management will prosper
long which turns a deaf ear to the
comnlaintsof stockmen
The live stock editor of the Alliance
Grip says he has received the following
remedy for itch from Washington
Flowers of sulphur 7 1 2 pounds avoir
dupois unslacked lime 7 1 2 pounds
