I During the past forty years we have paid to the W | farmers of Nebraska more than thirty million dollars. B We have received in return, the choicest grain that the B I state has produced. These statements explain WHY u | GOLDEN SHEAF WHISKIES have ALWAYS been B j on the same HIGH DEGREE OF EXCELLENCE. 0 The result of forty-five years of careful study of m the distilling business is embodied in I The WILLOW SPRINGS DISTILLERY is the only distillery worthy of the name west of the Mississippi River, having been founded in 1866. GOLDEN SHEAF WHISKIES are equal to the best that can be produced, yet are sold at a popular price. This is possible because these whiskies are distilled in one of the great distilleries, located in the heart of the grain belt and operating a very large capacity.

The rains last fall, and the winters snow will furnish abun dent moisture to put the soil in excellent condition for farming and is sufficient to supply grow ing crops for a long time. Well, here we are again news is not very plentiful, but such as I can get get, indicates that the farmers in this locality are still alivejjto their best interest, but the best news I hope to chronicle soon, is something that has long been regarded as the harbinger of spring. Renters are now taking ad vantage of the present state of mild weather to move onto the farms they have rented for the ensuing year. Dave Weidfelt has rented the Hubbard farm for this year. Mr. O. McManus has rent ed the Love place, and took up his residence there this week. J. H. McAlister will have a public sale the 22nd inst. The weather for this month has been rather peculiar, quite a bit of snow fell, but not much cold weather. The record of temperature beginning March 3 to date, ranges as follows: Time taken, 7 a. m. and 6 p. in. Low est: zero. For the first half of March record is remarkable. To day the 15th is when it reached the 40 degree above zero mark. Shortage of hay and corn will be a great inconvenience on the start. If I may be allowed to sug gest it, the farmers that are short on corn now, should get an early flint variety (that as early as the ' middle of August) and plant a few acres of it for early feed. 1 It beats hauling your hogs to t market before they are in a marketable condition. Barley also makes a good feed, not only for hogs, but horses and cattle will thrive and grow fat on it. And when your barley crop is I harvested, you can plow up the J ground and raise a crop of mil- | let for your cattle before winter sets in.
