I These goods are beautiful in construction, durable and have
no equal. The Moline wagon, none better on wheels, having
mony points superior to any wagon on the market. The cele
brated Champion binders, mowers and hay rakes. I also handle
| bale ties. In the stove line I carry the best known steel range,
the great Majestic; also many other makes of 3toves and ranges.
I am the only dealer west of Norfolk who carries the Stransky
I Steel Ware, every piece warranted for live years. I also handle
enameled ware. I have the Lisk and Elliott anti rust tinware,
none better. For any rusty piece returned I will gladly give a
| new piece. Nickel plated copperware, such as tea and coffee

will be appreciated. I will say in conclusion that no man in my line will give you any more for you dollar than I will
and my guarantee or warrant I will make good.

IKKIUATE THE WEST.
Suggests Experiment Stations In
Nebraska.
The Bee’s Lincoln correspondent
says: Chancellor Andrews and other
university authorities are preparing
to give their united support to the
suggestion of Senator Dietrich that
irrigation experiment stations he
established in the semi-arid regions
of Nebraska. The real estate dealers
of the state, in their annual conven
tion in Fremont last week, adopted
resolutions endorsing the idea and
directed a communication to the
Nebraska delegation in congress ask
ing their co-operation in the project.
Chancellor Andrews will probably ask
the next state legislature to provide
the means necessary for the organiza
tion of stations. Senator Dietrich
briefly outlines his plan as follows:
“At the present time, not only
Nebraska but all states in the semi
arid districts of the west, are bending
every effort towards securing favora
ble legislation for a suitable system
of irrigation. They are encouraged
in this because it has, at last, become
apparent to the people of the east,
that the whole country is made to
suffrc so long as the vast area of wast
land of the central and Pacific por
tions of our natural commonwealth
are permitted to remain untllled and
uninhabited. With this realization
comes the hope that such steps will
be taken, such measures adopted, as
will make irrigation in the west an
extended practice as well as a uni
versal blessing.
“Another vital subject in this con
iieciiion, anu one in wnicn me real
estate men of Nedraska should be in
terested, is that of guarding and
strengthening the Agricultural de
partment of the State university.
As the department stands today, It
possesses an unusually able corps of
instructors and investigators, but is
restricted in its usefulness by im
poverished facilities. Its greatest
need is a building commensurate
with its work. Unfortunately the
United States government has ruled
against aiding the various states in
this one respect. But it will, how
ever, cooperated in every way after
the state themselves have provided
the necessary buildings. Nebraska
should not hesitate at this responsi
bility, but should forthwith procure
the quarters required and assist the
university in placing her department
on a par, or even above the now ablest
agricultural colleges in the Union.
“When this is done, it will be an
easy and a natural consequence to
have experimental stations establish
ed in the western part of the state,
belonging to and managed in conjunc
tion with the department at Lincoln.
The services of these experimental
stations will be of untold value.
Through them may be tried the diffe
rent theories of soil, culture and en
richment, and likewise forestation
by means of plants and trees. What
ever knowledge is gained in this di
rection contributes an hundredfold to
the betterment of the state.”
The Market.
South Omaha, Feb. 19—There was a
heavy marketing of unfinished and
half-fatted cattle last- week, while
there was a very marked scarcity of
good finished beeves. Buyers were
able to pound the market for a decline
of from 15c to 25c in prices. This
week starts out with a fair run of
cattle, about 10,000 for three days.
Prices are about steady. Fair to
good 1100 to 1300 beeves sold at $5.50;
with common to fair warmed-up stufT
at»i>3.75 to $4.50. Cows and mixed
stuff, fair to good butcher stock, $3.
to $3.75, and good beef grades $3.80 to
$4.50.
Receipts of hogs were very heavy
all last week at all points, and the
market has been a continual surprise
and puzzle to buyers and sellers alike.
Prices steadily declined until they
reached the lowest point in many
week, and nobody knows what to ex
pect. There is just one redeeming
feature about it; the provision market
is holding up remarkably well with
such heavy receipts. With any let-up
in receipts prices should react for the
balance of this week.
A liberal supply of sheep was
offered so far this week, 15,000 for the
first three days, with market steady
and some kinds strong. Good to
choice lambs $6.25 to $6.60; good heavy
yearlings $5.25 to $5.65; choice
wheth $4.90 to $5.25, and ewes $4.50 to
$4.75. Nye and Buchanan Co.
