From Stand ard Live Stock Commission Co.—Cat tle seem to come very liberally fol lowing every little advance in the market so that each alternate week seems to bring a decline in the mar ket. Receipts are not only very lib eral here but also other places this week. While the choicer kinds as usual, held nearly steady, the medium grades, together with cows and butcher stock were dull and 10c to 26c lower. However, there seems to be an active demand for feeders and some of the more desirable kinds in this class sold at stronger prices with the commoner kinds slow and lower. We quote: Good to choice cornfed beeves $8 to $9, common kinds down to $6.26. Good to choice cows and heifers $6.60 to $7.26, fair to good $4.80 to $6.60, canners and cutters $3.75 to $4.75. Veal calves $7 to $8.75. Bulls, stags, etc., $5 to $6.50. Goodto choice feeders $7.26 to $8.10, common grades down to $5.76. Stock cows and heifers $4.76 to $6.25. Stock calves $6 to $8. Hog receipts are heavy this week with a slump of 15 to 20c. Bulk $7 to $7.05, top $7.10. The sheep market snows a decline of 15 to 26c with heavy receipts. We look for a lighter run the balance of the week. Cough Medicine for Children. Never give a child a cough medicine that contains opium in any form. When opium is given other and more serious diseases may follow. Long ex perience has demonstrated that there is no better or safer medicine for coughs, colds and croup in children than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is equally valuable for adults. Try it. It contains no opium or other harmful drug. For sale by all dealers. 30-4 Notice.

Hodgkin, 30-4 Its Attorneys. Gleanings. January 1, 1915, was the nicest day we had this winter. Word was received recently from 0. B. Hatch that he was going to move on January 1st to Topeka, Kansas, He had been driving en oil wagon in Lincoln, Nebraska. In our last items we wrote a little in favor of a corn contest for the boys but did not state the ages of the boys which should be from 10 to 16 years old. A contest by farmers would be exceedingly appropriate, and it should be so arranged as to permit them to contest for the largest yield for any given amount of acres, and also to extend the con test to include any or all varieties of farm produce, for by that method we could learn best what was the great est yield of the various farm products on a large scale through the system of intense cultivation and fertilization. Now, because barn yard manure is rather scarce on most farms to fer tilize the necessary large number of acres, and as commercial fertilizers are somewhat expensive, it will be seen at a glance that the farmers are up against it pretty hard, as there is no doubt that the prevailing drougths during the last decade in this county, has' had more effect than if the land had been properly fertilized. The rea son I think that, is because when we do have a normal season, we do not get such bumper crops as we did when our land was new, which indicates pretty thoroughly that what our land needs today is fertilization in some manner, as the soil, fertility that was previously in the soil is pretty well exhausted. But how shall we remedy it you ask? Under present conditions it would be hard to answer, but if the farmers could get along with only one half of their cultivated land while they was raising and plowing under green fertilizers on the other half two or three times for one season, the next year they should be able to raise more than twice as much products on the fertilized portion of their farm than they formerly did on the whole and during the second season they could fertilize the rest in the same manner, thereby insuring them the most pro ductive farms in the state. It really seems to me that something will have to be attempted along these lines pretty soon or the farmers will not pro duce enough to pay the taxes on them, to say nothing about personal taxes *nd living expenses.

Omaha Bee: The fight over Ne braska patronage threatens to get larger instead of smaller, as it is dis closed that the candidates recommen ded by Senator Hitchcock are chosen specially because of their known an tagonism to Secretary Bryan. A pro test has come in now against the ap pointment of James C. Quigley of Valentine as register of the land office there, for which he has been endorsed by the senator, which draws the cur tain from some of the conditions that have created the patronage deadlock. According to the narrative in this protest the Hitchcock favorite is one of the incorporators and also a di rector of the Bar T Cattle company. James H. Quigley, an incorporator di rector and president of the company, and reputed to be its heaviest stock holder, is the father of James C. Quig ley, the tenative appointee. William D. Bachelor is also an incorporator di rector, vice president, treasurer and active manager. This cattle company operates in this , Cherry county, own ing several thousand acres of land, holds large leases for grazing pur poses on Pine Aidge reservation and runs several thousand head of cattle. Again James H. Quigley is the sole owner of a large ranch property con sisting of several thousand acres, whereon he runs a private brand of cattle. This ranch is located south of Cody in Cherry county. Bachelor has a private ranch property which he leases to his brother-in-law. This is located south of Valentine. This Mr. Bachelor has two brothers, John H. Bachelor, who owns and operates one of the largest individually owned ranches in this country, and who, with his brother, C. B. Bachelor, controls the Bordman Cattle company with thousands of acres and several thous and cattle. John H. Bachelor and his associates again in turn own the controlling in terest in the Sand Hills Land and Cat tle company, controlling with their several ranches a country fifty to sixty miles long, of which John H. Bachelor is general manager. All the lands above enumerated are within the jurisdiction of the Valentine land office and aggregate 100,000 acres or more. “Under these circumstances,” so the protest continues, “it is not to be won dered at that Quigley, sr., and his friends would and have pulled every political wire possible to secure the appointment of Quigley, jr., as register of the Valentine land office. The busi ness expediency of such a move is readily apparent. The company of which Quigley, sr., is principal stock holder and Quigley, jr., is stockholder and director, is directly and vitally in terested in securing the purchase of isolated tracts and of homesteands after final proof has been made.” PAID ADVERTISING.
