MORE LOCAL MATTERS.
The dance at the K. C. hall Wednes
day evening was well attended, despite
the inclement weather, and a good time
was had. The music was by the Twen
tieth Century Jazz band.
Among the distinguished attorneys
present at the session of district court
this week was W. A. Price of Grand
Island, one of the leaders in the Ne
braska house of representatives dur
ing the session of 1911.
Radical amendment of the present
primary laws is provided for in a bill
which the state house of representa
titfes has recommended for passage.
The bill provides that all state officers
except the governor shall be nominated
by the state conventions, instructed
delegates to which are to be selected
at the primaries.
The heavy snow and wind storm
which struck this territory shortly
after midnight Wednesday night and
is still prevailing, is general over the
northern part of the state. Train
' service is badly disorganized and live
stock is reported as suffering in the
cattle country to the west. None of
the rural mail carriers made trips to
day.
Eastern capitalists are endeavoring
to purchase the Cornell power plant
on the Niobrara river near Valentine.
This is one of the largest water power
plants in the state and its location is
such that its capacity can be more
than quadrupled without much addi
tional outlay. -The eastern investors
would acquire the plant for use in
manufacturing a sand brick recently
invented and in the manufacture of
1 which intense heat is required.
Soldiers To Get Bonus.
A ruling formally announced from
Washington is that all discharged
soldiers may keep the equipment and
uniforms in which they were muster
ed out. Also that each discharged
soldier will receive a $60 bonus.
May Have Uptown Express Office.
O’Neill soon may have an uptown
express office. A petition signed by a
majority of the business men and pat
rons cf the express companies already
has been submitted to the officials and
is receiving favorable consideration.
One inspector already has been sent
to investigate the situation and word
has been received that another shortly
will visit the city. His report probably
will be final. With both an uptown
express office and telegraph office, and
a possibility of electric lights in the
near future, the city soon may take on
metropolitan airs.

County Agent’s Notes.
Many farmer s have inquired regard
ing the sowing of sweet clover in a
field where there is a poor stand of al
falfa. 1 have the following letter
from E. C. Waters, of Atkinson, one
of the most experienced sweet clover
growers in the county and it will be
of interest to many farmers. Any
farmer desiring sweet clover seed for
spring seeding should look over the
exchange list and purchase at once as
there is a big demand for seed and it
will soon be sold out.
Mr. Lancaster, O’Neill, Nebraska.
Yours of January 27th at hand. In
reply will say that I have never sown
clover with alfalfa. If the stand of al
falfa is a light stand and it was wan
ted for pasture purposes it would be
fine. 1 he alfalfa could be pastured to
keep the growth down and allow the
clover to start. This would make a
fine pasture If it was wanted for hay
I would di-k the alfalfa, put a press
drill in and seed to alfalf This field
would yield a crop of fine clover hay if
the ground was plowed and seeded to
sweet clover as this is innoculated for
clover. The trouble in sowing the
clover with the alfalfa is that fhe a'
falfa would Jraw the moisture from
the clover plant while young and ten
der. I doubt this being a good plan
unless the alfalfa was pastured to hold
it out. The tramping of the clover
plant would do it good. Spring seed
ing of clover makes a fine cutting of
- -i..— .. .—, ■ mi—-! II.
choice hay that would be cut in Sep
tember or October, usually a good
time to euro hay.
1 will advise you in regard to the
; clover seed before it is all sold. The
seed is giving the best of satisfaction.
! Everyone that is not satisfied has the
' privilege of returning the seed. I sell
. it only as choice seed and it has to be
j such. -1 am very grateful to you for
what you are doing for the sale of the
seed. Yon may say that if the seed
doesn’t come up to the highest stand
ard they can return it and I will re
turn the money.
Yours respectfully,
E. A. WATERS.
HOGS IN POOR CONDITION.
I have had several calls from farm
ers of late stating that their hogs
were not doing well. Most of the
cases proved to be wormy hogs and
‘were cleaned up in a short time with
Santonine and Calomel. You can get
this at most drug stores. The drug
gists should mix 6 gr. santonine to 4
gr. cslomel per 100 pounds of pig.
Skip one feed and feed it in a thick
slop, followed by a feed of oats.
You can mix the following condi
tioner and keep before your hogs in a
small self-feeder. It is much cheaper
and as good as any set >:k powder you
can buy:
Charcoal ,coal slick m wood
ashes 60 pounds . 25c
Air slacked lime 8 pounds . 12c
Copperas 4 pounds . 40c
Sulphur 4 pounds . 20c
T«tal cost . $1.07
This makes a cost of only $1.07 for
81 pounds of tho conditioner . All in
gredients can be purchased here as I
have made arrangements for the same
in large quantities. If you want any
of this come to the office and I will
help you get it.
IMPORTANT BULLETINS.
The following bulletins may be ob
tained by writing to the county agent
office:
1. Prevention of Losses of Live
Stock from Plant Poisoning.
2. Dehorning and Castrating Cat
btel.
3. Sweet Clover on Corn Belt

Big Reduction In The Price of Black
leg Vaccine.
We have made a new contract with
a Blackleg Vaccine Company by which
the company agrees to furnish us
Germ Free Blackleg Vaccine, which
immunes for life at i7c per dose. This
vaccine retails at 35c per dose but as
we have agreed to order in lots of
3000 doses and take it in 50 dose bot
tles the above offer was made. Dur
ing the past year we have used 8000
doses of the Germ Free Vaccine which
was furnished at 31c per dose. It can
easily be seen that a saving of several
thousand dollars can be made the com
ing year. If you can not use the full
50 dose bottle it may be that your
neighbors will help you out. Vaccine
that is left over will remain good for
s’x months if the bottle is sealed and
placed in a cave or cellar. A few of
the small bottles are on hand at the
F resent time. As far as time permits,
will help you in administering it the
first time and we will keep a supply
of instruments on hand at all times to
loan to farmers. The vaccine comes,
in a liquid form all ready to use. In
the 8000 head that I have aided in vac
cinating during the past year only two
have died although many herds were
badly infected when vaccinated.
Should you desire to use this vaccine
at any time write or phone the County
Agent Office, O’Neill.

Whee!
What Bargains!
Harpooned to the hilt in price. Just
to put a little pepper and salt into our
early season’s business and get the
Easter rush started in February, we’ve
put the cleaving knife into the prices
on thirty of the peachiest styles in that
grand old heavyweight Royal Tailors
Fa!! line of 1918.
We have faith in these patters. An
excellent assortment suitable for all
year wear. Yet we’ve priced them
without heed of their cost or sterling
worth—priced them at an actual loss,
if you please—in order that they may
provide the basis for a rousing big
earlv order drive in our store.
