His usefulness comes in when his big sister wants him to run an errand; but his print ipal usefulness is in wearing out clothes, especially pants. Some boys wear out one pair each reason. Others wear out two every week. The cut be low illustrates a happy boy. Why is ho happy? Because his mother has bought from us 25 Per Cent Off. 25 Per Cent Off. MILLINERY AT RENNIB'S.

Olds. wever, our ditches being Studebaker Wagons Hershey & (Vs. at Editor Triuuxe: There now seems to be no question in the minds of the people of our town and the surrounding country that irri gation is destined to make this a prosperous locality and that North Platte will be. perhaps, one of the best towns of the state outside of Omaha or Lincoln. The prospects are indeed bright, based on the fact that with the element of chance eliminated from agriculture, there is no more attractive or remuner ative avocation nor anything that will so certainly place us on a gib stantial and permanent footing. We have over one hundred miles of ditches under construction, repre senting an expenditure of as many thousand dollars, mostly of home capital. They are certainly great undertakings considering the short length of time in which they have been maturing. In view of the fact that a vast amount of water has been appropriated to the east of us it is also a matter of congratula tion that ve c(id not sleep on thfc: Now, well under way and able to take care of themselves, it behoves us to look about and see what should next be done in the line of our ad vancement. Those who have not heretofore been directly interested can now contribute to the general welfare by endeavoring to place our advantages before the world. No one need hesitate to invite friends and relatives in the east to come and make their home with us. We are in a position to assure them of a livlihood and a degree of greater success dependent alone on their capital and energy. We need a class of people who have money and are skilled in the higher classes of agriculture. Such should be in duced to bin- five, ten or forty acres near the town and improve it. Those who are building the ditches cannot do this at the prasent time, at least as quickly as the town is interested in having it done. The largest nurseries in the world. Stark Brothers.of Louisiana. Mo., have had a representative here for the past six weeks investigating our prospects as a fruit country. The gentleman in question has been here on a salary which, with the expenses attached thereto, amounts to several hundred dollars. They are fully advised that thcy need expect little, if any. return at the present time as we are hardly ready to buy trees, but that we had great prospects. From the interest this firm take in the development of new irrigated countries, they were satisfied to stand the outlay in making a careful investigation. This has been accomplished from a, standpoint of experience and with a knowledge of what is requisite to make a successful commercial fruit country, with very satisfactory results. That we can grow the plum, prune and cherry of excellent size and flavor there is no question. HeaJiatiOne farmer gets twe four tns irdrh three ac?es, shipper. In Russia, near Moscow there are large tracts planted to this fruit, the crops from which are shipped all over Europe. Our soil and climate arc perfectly adapted to this variety, while it is a question as to whether it can be grown successfully in the eastern part of this state. Two hundred miles west of us tue iruit or tour year oiu trees are netting the producer $7.00 per tree. The conditions are perhaps more favorable here than in that altitude. Think of getting more from one tree than from several acres of wheat and with far less toil. It is an important fact, singular ly overlooked hitherto, that most stone fruits, particularly prunes and most other varieties of do mestica plums, can not be depended upon except in dry climates. Even is they escape the curculio and other equally destructive enemies, the insatiable rot will destroy five out of six crops in all rainy cli mates. Hence all the prunes ever grown on a commercial scale in America, must be produced in the arid regions and prunes have been by far the most certain and most profitable of all stone fruits. There are other branches of agri culture that should be further de veloped; we have only a vague idea of wliat we can do with alfalfa. We entv- that another gets fifteen bushels of seed from one acre, nine hundred pounds S90.00. Some say, "I don't be lieve it." The writer will risk as much that the man who raised this seed would not tell an untruth for twice that amount. These things are wortnv ol emulation, not ol criticism, half that amount would be enough for a majority of our people. Main of us heard a farmer from Julesburg tell how he made 62,000 out of cabbage raised bv irrigation from a windmill, a car load of which was consumed in this town. Did anyone profit from this ion? The same man has made more this year and we are hipping cabbage in again. It would seem from a few incidents like this that there arc several kinds of farmers, the wheat ana corn farmer, the stock farmer ana perhaps other kinds, but the small farmer or the fruit farmer is the man we must also look for and bring into the country. Our citi zens can contribute to the general welfare, by inducing this class to come and invest. There are a jrooc many people, residents of the city, who have the intelligence and means to set out a small fruit farm ana see that it is taken care of until it begins to produce. A small tract is to make the owner a fortune ii properly taken care of. It is not too soon to think about such things. It will take some little time to pre pare the ground and get the ditches reach- for the water. If not done in some such way the chances are that the effects of our new era of pros perity may not be felt for some little time yet. Another matter of importance that should receive immediate at tention, is the necessity of thor oughly advertising our resources and prospects, in order that the proper persons who may be looking for favorable locations for indus tries, may be turned in this direc- That the people will do better than in the east they are satisfied, and : tion. Among other things, we we should be correspondingly elated, need a cheese factory, a canning for it is in this class of agriculture factory and a creamery as soon as that we must look for great pros-1 we can get them, that they can be perity. The cherry that can be , successfully sustained under the grown here is far superior to that ' new conditions. There is no doubt of California. The fruit of that by the time the arrangements are country is large but insipid and not made, buildings erected and other desirable for canning or drying, necessary preliminaries consumated while the Ostheimer. Suda Hardy our farmers will be ready to con and one or two other like varieties tract for the milk, vegetables, etc., are tart, of good color and a good to keep them going. To get all these things in the right way, we should have an active organization composed of the citi zens in general who are interested in seeing the town go ahead. An illustrated pamphlet, showing the different ditches, their head gates, flumes, etc.. notable buildings, farms and ranches, fruit trees and other interesting objects, gotten up in first class htyle, could be placed before the public at a very reason able expense. Some material for such a book is now available in the shape of engravings. Many of those used b- our illustrious towns man, Hon. W. F. Cod-, are perti nent and interesting, which he no doubt would be glad. to contribute. The several ditch companies are interested and would certainly make liberal donations. ' An effort in the right direction at this time will do a great deal of good, on the contrar if we are lethargetic and take no stept to advise the general public of what we have, we will fail to obtain the benefits so sincerely hoped for by all of us. No artificial stimulation is to be advocated, we should stear clear of any effort to "boom," but to spread our wares out and invite inspection is legitimate and com mendable. To commence this work now will be none tot) soon to reap the benefits at the proper time. r "V.tI. Park. Cheap power for raising; water is the most important thing to the irrigator, who is not bkssed with a sufficient flow by the gravity system, which is at once the most practical and sensible of all but which unfortunately is not posses sed by every farmer in the arid por tions of the far west. Nature fur nishes the cheapest power on earth. Wind power is the cheapest and best. If one wheel does not furnish enough power, build more. Pump ing water to fill a reservior for fu use does not require steady motion and the pump can run fast or slow nijrht or day the year around as the wind goes. For ease of construc tion, low first cost and cost to keep repairs for deep well pumping say lift- feet and over, there is nothing better than the common lift pumps. They are found for continuous work and low first cost to be the most desirable for the average farmer. Always put the working barrel as close to the bottom as possible and never more than twenty feet above the water level. The best sucker rods to use are wood. Ash. hickory or good hard Texas pine will do. Put the points together with strap iron -pieces on opposite the bolts in each piece. A four-inch pump should not cost more than $1 for fifty feet and upwards, all set ready to work. An eight fooot windmill will operate such a pump, but the larger the wheel the easier it will be om the lift and the more satisfactory it will be in the long run. We would not think of putt ing up less than a twelve-foot wheel while a fourteen-footer would be better. The rig should be high enouirht to give the wheel an unob structed sweep of wind, and if the plant is on an elevation so much the better. In all cases where the windmill is to be depended upon a reservoir should be used. The whole cost of such a plant should not be over $250. We have known of some that were construc ted at a less figure. Field anil Farm. President Fort, of the State Irri gation Association, says there are now an even hundred local irriga tion associations in Nebraska. He thinks from one to two thousand delegates will be present at the second annual convention of the state association to be held next month.
