The Plainview Ranch. jEasMZi b The Delightful Sensation of 55 While out riding Sunday we stop peil anil shook hands with our old friend S. J. Koh at his Plnlimew Ranch, four and one-half tulles south west of Hershoy. Wo received n v rv vj? cordial welcome from Jake and spun an interesting hour looking ov r the ranch. He has about eighty hind of two-year olds mostly high grade White Faces in the food lot and tin are a bunch that will undoubtodlv top the market next March. In addition lo these Mr. Koch has somewhat men 100 cows, the same number of )enr-( lings and runs about ilfty head oi horses. Both ills cattle and horse -' are well bred, his beautiful gray st.il , lion and his White Face herd bull- , being among the best in the counn In fact Mr. Koch is thoroughly im pressed with the belief that the thor oughbred animal is the only one and , he applies this to not only bis eattl horses and hogs, but to Island Red chickens and Producing ,12 & IB 53 Fuels in Regard to the wl) Formed Poult i' Association North Platte Produce Co. ships 1.1 $2000 poultry every month, which tan bo produced In Lincoln county if the breeders of poultry will Join hands and work together, which can bo done onl by an association or club, whose pur pose is to help the breeders individ ually. Every poultryinan should take a deeper Interest in the largo uunibi r of local shows to bo hold this year Local shows are the life of the poul try industry. They are an incentne to u great many brooders, and fane n rs they are a source of education to earh and every exhibitor, they lire a stmui lant to trade of stock and egg. th create a living example to thousands of people throughout the count r A steady advancement and imprm ment is being made in tow is by the scientific poult r.m u of the twentieth century. In oilu r words, poultry raising is gimn i the world n fowl with more meat hi on it, a fowl which reaches nun f able conditions in half the time t, essary years ago, a fowl wine h l.is from 200 to 300 egss a year. In t.it In our state of Nebraska the poult r industry, as a result of modern se n n title breeding, housing and care m raising, is annually greater than tin output of all the gold mines in eiiln r Colorado or Alaska; so what does Ne braska want of gold mines. The point however, is that our great source of showing the public the improvem in of tho fowls is through our local poul try cxhibts. It therefore behooves the manag ment of these exhibits to make tie i . as nent, clean and attractive us pus slblo, and to use every possibh .el vantage to get local publicity. It .iK. behooves all breeders of the counu both largo and small to take a 1 i r interost In our coming count show on January 0, 7 and S, 1915, and to .is slsl by making an exhibit, even thoimh tho exhibit may be worth more to il nssocintlon than to you personally For full particulars in regard to mem borship. etc., address the secret.m Mr. John A.
