Thomas, editor of , the Nebraska Stockman and tbe , ' Alliance Herald, both published at Alliance, In the northwestern , part of Nebraska, has been at . the St. Joseph yards the past . few days, soliciting advertising and other material for, a special issue of the two papers boosting . the St Joseph Slocker and Feeder show which will be.belda , 4 here In September.' Both pub-' lications have a wide circulation , among stockmen In the Nebras ka sand hills from "which, section ', a number of pri?e-wlnnjng ex hibits were made in the feeder ' show last fall. Mr. Thomas Is . one of the wide-awake newspa-, per men of northwest Nebraska and particularly welljknown In",', i live stock circles. , . ,. It Is a pleasure to re-print the above, for two or three reasons.. We get tired of seeing our name in our own publications and like to see It get into somebody else's occasional ly. Then we think the St. Joseph Stock Yards Daily Journal Is one of the most Interesting of the many live stock market papers. We nave been encouraging the stocker and feeder show proposition in general because we believe it is a Rood thing for the ranchmen who have superior stuff to sell from year to year, as well as for the live stock markets putting them on. It is a Joy to boost for the St. Joseph Stocker and Feeder Show In particular for several reasons, one of which is that the men connected with that market are a bunch of royal fel lows and appreciate the work of the newspaper man who really works and does things worth while. PLENTY CORN FOR FEEDING Kxtreme Hot and Dry Wentlier Did Kittle Damage, Kxrept lineally, iii Northern Corn Delt Aanchmen watch with a good deal of interest the reports of crop condi tions in the farming country of Ne braska and farther east to see how the corn will turn out. A good de mand for ranch cattle for feedert means a better price for them on thr markets than if there is a weak de mand from feeders in the corn belt During the extremely hot and dn weather of July there was consider able anxiety for the corn crop. In some localities It was ruined, but these localities are comparatively small In the northern corn belt. Th indications are now that there wil be more good, sound corn In Nebras ka and Iowa this year than last, with a lot of good corn In the other states south and east. Following is an extract from a Ne braska crop report of the Burlington railroad, issued about the middle ot this month: Showers were pretty nearly gener al during the week, with a maximum of three inches of rainfall at Orleaiu on the McCook division. Soil Is in generally fair condition On the up lands in places on the Wymore and McCook divisions more rain fall would be very acceptable. Soil is in most unsatisfactory condition of any place in this district at the time of making this report, on the Concordia branch of the Wymore division. There 's very little to complain of as to condition of corn on the Oma ha division. The north end of the Schuyler line was somewhat damag ed and estimates by Schuyler and Wahoo have brought down the gen eral average of the division. The present general condition ou the Omaha division probably Indicates 90 to 95 per cent of a full crop. On the Lincoln division conditions are also very satisfactory and the es timate of present condition at 78 per cent is conservative. On Wymore division there are a number of localities where corn was seriously damaged and the very low estimates made by stations In such localities bring the average for Ih division perhaps a little lower tha it should be. In the vicinity of Su perior rain came too late to benefit the early corn, and there has not been enough rain on the Concordia branch to put the ground In fair shape. On the McCook division the corn as a whole is not as badly damaged as we had reason to fear it might be when my last report was made. The general estimate of condition averag ed this week Is 69 per cent. Dan bury on the St. Francis branch re ports . corn a total loss. Agent at Beaver City estimates 6 bushels per acre. Agent at Ayr, on the Hast ings-Red Cloud line, estimates 31 bushels per acre. . Estimates at oth er stations run from 8 to 30 bushel per acre. I think the average of 69 per cent Is a fair estimate for Mc Cook division. A fair general average for Nebras ka district, based on a full crop present conditions . and favorable weather from now on would be 7f per cent of corn crop. i New South Wa!cs a Garden.

NORTHERN RANCH CATTLE MAKE GOOD FEEDRS We know of not another single paper that has proclaimed the good k qualities of Nebraska ranch cattle aa . feeder stuff as have the xseorasia Stockman and The Alliance Herald, ; but we are glad to see the matter be ing taken up by some of the leading -farm papers. i The following article appeared in the Twentieth Century Farmer a few . weka ago under the head, "Range Cattle as Feeders." While there are . soma statements In it that need to be i corrected somewhat and others that .' could be improved by belag modified . the article,, aa a. whole is a start in the fight direction, and . as such we commend It: .. , , i Ilange Cattle ma Feeders There was a time that the range ste r was looked, upon with, some de- .. gree of prejudice,, some , suspicion jj that he could . not . do aa well in the : feed yard as the native-bred , steer. ; It was. argued that, hi wild life on the' range had keyed hJm up. to such a tension of excitability and nervous- ; ness that he would . never, get down t to the quiet that ia necessary in or- t def to lay on flesh rapidly. Then his hide, covered alt over with brand marks of all characters, made him exceedingly ,, undesirable from a leather point of view. This burned skin of the steer was a terrible han- . dlcap in bis sale aa a feeder. Grad- t ually the range steer proved his abll- ; lty to go into the feed yard and eat ? corn and hay to advantage, compared wlthr any other steer, no matter on- der what conditions produced. 4 The range steer has for the last twenty years been a very desirable ( and much sought after bovine for i the feed lot In the corn-belt district The new conditions of corn, nay and I leisure that the feed yard introduced . seemed to overcome all fear, and his . appetite only was consulted. These -range steers almost from the Btart , showed such astonishing gains that all prejudice was soon removed. Change in Characteristics The range steer of today, howev er, is a very different animal frost -the range steer of twenty and thlrtr years ago. The feeder now sends a . his order to his commission firm at the market centers where these cat tle congregate and receives a well- . bred, high-grade animal that com pares favorably with the best native stock of the country. These ran go . cattle have passed through the Im provement process that has been steadily at work during all this time -and they are distinctly a type easily traceable to one or the other of the . popular beef breeds of cattle. . The carlot exhibits of range cattle to be seen each year at the Kansas ; City Royal and the Denver Live 1 Stock Show are a good illustration of the improvement that has been . going on throughout the range cattle district in the beef quality of these cattle. Scores of carloads of steers t and heifers of Shorthorn, Hereford, , Angus and Golloway breeding are each year to be seen , at these big ? shows and admired for their nnl- , rormity and good feeding qualities. The decision universally is, "The s range steers are good enough fer , me." , Ttire-Bred Hulls I'sed It !s a matter of blood and breed ing, and the herds that have had ths , advantage of the good pure-bred ; bulls are now showing in quality of stock the gain they are entitled te. Cattle from the far-out districts of the western states present as good quality as most of those near by. The , ieniand fur good, high-class bulls for the range should not cease, and no better lesson can be taught the range cattle man than a visit to these bin ; shows, where the carload exhibit of : range cattle is made a special fea ture, where his own kind of produc tion is being put before the public la such a strong and forceful demoa- : atration. . It is here that be sees just what la being done by the careless breeders, . and has at the same time an oppor tunity to compare this with the work " of the more careful and painstaking breeder. The difference between the well-bred range cattle and the poor er, quality is as distinctly noticeable as the difference between the best pure-bred bull and the less desirable. Quality is what counts with the pro ducer of meat animals today, Just aa results are what count with the bus iness man in the operation of his trade today. Carlot at Fairs , . State fairs and big live stock shows from all over the country should give more attention . to carlot ; 1 exhibits of feeder and fat cattle. Pay larger premiums and make classes open to. the world; solicit and en- , courage outside exhibits to come to yonr fairs. No better classification could be added to the state fair for the farmer patrons than the carlot feeder division. Have yards and pens for this class of exhibits where they can be seen, and facilities for selling . at public auction. It should and would result in an excellent training for the pure-bred bull raiser who la planning to get some of this class of business in supplying the steer-rais- -lng districts of country with breed ing bulls. The day of, the grade, or,, scrub bull has practically passed. The demand is for the pure-bred bulls.' From present' Indications an ' over the country the day of grade aires is rapidly passing out and a few. , more seasons of good cattle prices will see the end of grade sires.
