Well, we have bad that million dol
lar rain that we have been looking
lor, had been promised and had abotit
f:iven up, but the crop were not need
ng it as badly a ome thought and
now we will not know that it was
ver dry.
While there Martin showed us a Dark
plug that he has a patent on that
looks like it would be a gi'eal thing
when he gets it on the market and
he thinks of manufacturing it here in
Alliance.
Henry Westlake, who lives two
Early Monday morning we Raddled miles west of Berea and owns 320
our little flivver and started north.
The fiift Dlace we visited was the
fine home of Ernest Panwitz, who
came to this county thirty-flve years
go with a team and one cow and no
money. Today he has sixteen hun
dred acres of as good land as there
are any place and is farming one hun
dred and fifty acres to corn, oats and
potatoes. He alo has seventy acres
of good alfalfa. To look over the farm
one would think it was about three
hundred miles east, for he has as good
Poland China hogs as one will find in
the eastern part of the gtate. Ernest
tells us that he has been getting his
males from the best herds in the east
and it shows in his herd, for he has
eighty-two little pigs that are hard
to beut and they are from ten good
sows which are of equally good
breeding. Mr. Panwitz has every la
bor saving device that is to be had
on the farm. . One thing was an auto
matic cream eeparator push the but
ton and the machine does the rest. He
fclso has his own grinder and grindj
feed for the stock. Mr. Panwitz is
milking twenty cow and says that is
the number he milks the year through.
He thinks that cpwi and chickens are
the best things, to tie to.
T)ur next stop was al the Wilhan!
Mundt farm, but we did not get to
talk with him, as Will was in a hurry
to finish planting coin Bnd asked us
to come again and promised to talk
to us a-plenty. We did get to see his
brother, Albert, and Oscar Evans, who
were there sorting potatoes. Mr. Ev
r.ns tells us that he came from Utah
twenty-two years ago, but had only
' one wife and that he is running four
hundred and eighty acres of land to
corn, wheat and potatoes, but thinks
that corn and hogs are the best crops
to raise. Mr. Evans lives one mile
pouth of Berea.
acres oi innu, came nere seven years
ago from Cass county and has the first
pure bred herd of Hampshire hogs we
have seen in these parts. It did look
good to us to see those long and high
backed hogs. It made us think of old
times when we were at the biir shows,
Mr. Westlake has fifty head of those
good nogs and they are all recorded
We talked hog with Henry unti it
was abojt time for us to hit the trail
for home. Mr. Westlake is sticking
with the hog and corn and we predict
a success there. We have a standing
invitation to come again and we will
surely do so.
After leaving the Westlake place we
stopped at the beautiful home of
James McDonald, who lives about
mile and one-half northwest of Berea
and owns 1,(100 acres of fine land and
has the largest farm house we have
seen in a long time. It is three full
stories and complete throughout, and
his barn is large and well-built. Mr,
McDonald is farming 1000 acres of
this land, has 800 in wheat and the
balance to corn and spuds. They do
all the work until harvest without
hired help, as Mr. McDonald has four
good boys to help him.
Albert Mundt came here from
rhelps county three years ago and is
farming 480 acres of land in corn,
wheat and potatoes and says that he
has made more money out of wheat
than any other crop. Albert has. ISO
acres of ' wheat that looks fine. He
also has thirty of corn and twenty of
spuds. He says that winter wheat
does the best for him.
From William Mundt's to his broth
er's was the next move and we found
Jtobert busy plowing with his tractor.
Robert came .to this county eight
years ago. from Phelps county and
bought 2H0 acres of land and has it
tiicely fixed up. He bought it at $23
end has refused $700 for it. He is
farming 200 acres besides his own.
He has 1G0 acres of wheat, thirty of
com, twenty of spuds and thirty-five
of' barley and says the hog is the
mortgage lifter here as well as any
J lace and would not go back east to
arm at all.
George Haeffner came here from
Phelps county two years ago and
likes the country fine. He thinks that
mixed farming is the best here, as it
is any other place. He has corn,
wheat, oats and potatoes and would
not go back to Phelps county to farm,
as he says they have too much hot
wjmla there. , ,-t :.-
Jacob Kraft came here from V.
ccunty two years ago and bought 100
acres. He has it nicely improved. He
believes in mixed farming and is
raising coin, wheat and potatoes. He
is farming 210 acres in all.
Joe Nitsch is only one year from
Butler county and is running a sec
tion of land. He has 200 acres of
wheat, thirty of corn, forty of oats
and fifty of potatoes. He says that
this country needs more good eastern
farmers to improve the land. He
likes it fine here.
We have traveled over this county
now for two weeks ano have listened
to the cry of hard times, close money
short crops, and so on, but let us say
right here that Box Butte county
farmers are far better off than their
neighbors to the east. We made a
trip down the line Friday and we know
whereof we speak, for we found things
in very much worse shape there than
anything we have seen here. They
have not 83 good a farming country
and the cattle men are hit much
worse than the farmer. It has shut
business off entirely, there is no work
and the people are up against a hard
proposition.
FA1REXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old Man How an
Alliance Resident Made a Bad
Hick Strong
The back aches at times with a dull
indescribable feeling, making, you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the joins are so lame that to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply
a plaster to the back if the kidneys are
weak. You cannot reach the cause.
Follow the example of this Alliance
citizen.
Mrs. Archie Middleton, G22 W. 2nd
St., says: "In our home Doan's Kid
ney Pills are a family medicine. I had
taken them when 1 had backache and
other symptoms of kidney complaint.
I had dizzy spells and headaches that
came on when my kidneys were not
just as they should have been. A short
use of Doan's Kidney Pills always
regulated and strengthed my kidneys.
The attacks of backache and dizzy
fpella left, too. I bought Doan's at
Ilolsten's l?rug Store." -

Legislature Made
Several Changes In
Fish and Game Laws
The new fish and game law. H. R.

question: Why is it that the men have
been the great poets? Because, she
declares, it was the boys who were

Our next stop was at the home of
Al Mabin. We did not get to see Al,
but had a nice visit with Mrs. Ma
bin and learned that both Mr. and
Mrs. Mabin were practically raised
here, having lived in Box Butte county
since they were about two years old.
They live about thirteen miles north
west of Alliance and own 1040 acres
of land. He is planting sixty acres
of notatoes fiftv of corn and thirty
of oats. He also has eighty head of
horses.
The state college of agriculture re
cently made a shipment of eggs to
Czcho Slovakia. The eggs were White
mouth Hocks and Rhode Island
Reds and were from high laying an
cestry. This new European govern
ment is endeavoring to improve its
agriculture and desires to induce its
people to adopt some good American
breeds of poultry. The success of the
Nebraska college of agriculture in de
veloping high laying strains of pout-
try has attracted attention in many
states and in several foreign countries.
The college is going on the theory that
poultry should be bred for egg produc
tion and not for fine feathers ,as was
once the ideal of breeders. It has de
veloped a number of hens which have
records of 200 or more eggs in a year.
Martin Jacobson is a newcomer to
this country, havinsr come here from
Blair this spring, but he had bought
the farm three years ago. He owns
820 acres of as fine land as there U in
Box Butte county and the way Martin
i takimr hold of thinirs we predict
that he will make a great success of
his farming operations. Everything
was in shiD thape and from the
amount of work done he surely is on
the Job all the time. Here is some
of the work he has done this spring
He has sowed 150 acres to wheat
harrowed and double-disked 100 acres
for potatoes; then plowed the ground
then double-disked and harrowed
again; now he is planting and has
25 acres planted to spuds. Mr. Ja
cobson has not a team on the farm
and does all the work with a tractor,

Now that night aerial mail service
has been established it must be under
stood that midnight flyers and other
owls are to keep out of the established
air lines. If the heavens are to be
cluttered up with joy riders a Mercury
with a regular beat is liable to be
bothered. People have had a lot of
merry conversation about the possible
need of an aerial traffic cop. says Los
Angeles Times, but he may be quite
important when itinerant flyers get to
