RAISE PURE BREDS.
They Are No Harder To Raise And
More Profitable.
Purebred Breeder In a Community
Becomes An Example.
By Ed. Belsky, Eli, Nebraska.
The business otf purebred breeding
is facinating and can never be ap
preciated until you become an owner
and breeder. The public mind is with
that which tends to upbuild and you
are held in higher esteem in your
community as a builder and im
prover.
What has been the measure of ad
vancement and profit of the purebred
live stock breeder in the last twenty
years compared with the non-pro
gressive live stock producer, who
thought his grades were good enough
and that purebred sires were more of
a fad than a reality? There is one
answer to this, only that the farmer
or live stock grower who used pure
bred sires was the first to receive in
creased gains and profits from his
stock.
You may travel through the
country and invariably where you see
a well improved ranch or farm you
will find ’ improved live stock, be it
only a flock of purebred fowls. What
gives dignity and tone to the farm
more forcibly and attractively than
purebreds? It indicates success and
thrifitiness.
By all means use purebred sires
and the results will soon convince you
of the increased profits derived from
their use, then add a few purchased
females to your herd, they are just as
easy to raise and sell more readiy when
produced than grade. You have
twice the scope of sale possibilities
with the pure bred that you have with
the common stock. They are always
in demand for breeding purposes, and
for the common meat trade they have
no superior.
I decided to breed the Hereford breed
of cattle for the reason that it is pre
eminently an outdoor breed. It made
and holds its reputation as a grazier
unsurpassed. As a producer of
choice marketable meat on grass and
under adverse conditions, it is with
out a peer. It has been my aim to
] toducc good beef animals of rugged
nes", hardiness and early maturity,
and :i type most adapted to our range
conditions, in which I believe I have
succeeded by a careful selection of
the right kind of sires mated to the
right type of females, and I am pro
t|ucing what I consider the most
profitable and economical feeding type
of beef cattle, which is evidenced by
my cattle topping our different com
bination sales in one line or other and
being leading winners in our western
stock shows.
SLOW SALE OF FEEDING CATTLE
Neligh Leader: The recent cattle
sale held by L. W. Arnold at his feed
yards north of Neligh, was a disap
pointment. Very few buyers were
there and off these none were from £
distance, and the bids were such as tc
indicate that those present were no
particularly desirous of investing ii
stock at the present time, although the
offerings were first class. After the
small demand was supplied, the sale
was closed and the balance of the
stqck was shipped to Omaha where 5!
calves brought $11.00 per hundree
totaling $2,132.90—three cents pe:
pound greater than the best offer here
four canners shipped at the same tim
averaged $47.25, and could not be soli
here for more than $40 each. Whil
Mr. Arnold regrets the lack of interes
in these sales, he states that he ha
still a surplus of 1000 head of cattl
and only awaits encouragement b;
stock men to place them on the auctio:
block here. All he desires is a fai
price, taking into consideration th
general market and the quality of th
stock.
Miner’s Starvation Wages.
Casper (Wyo.) Herald: During
visit at the Gebo coal mines Thursday,
J. L. Biedermann of the Natrona Fuel
company of Casper learned from the
operators that tho mines are ready
to resume work at a moments notice.
Practically ill of the men who walked
out on November 1 have returned, an
ticipating an early settlement of the
questions in controversy. It was
said there weee a few radicals who
will probably hold out after a great
majority of the men have returned
to work, and these will be given a
reasonable time to get in line.
There was given out at the Gebo
mines some intimation of what might
be expected in the way of concessions
to the men and these indicated that
a wage scale increase of perhaps 20
per cent would be considered here.
There seemed to be an indication of
a strong intention to start out
against the demand for a five-day
week and a six-hour day, although
there is a possibility that a seven
hour day might be conceded. It was
shown that under conditions as they
existed at the time of the strike, men
were able to make as high as $22.00
a day, which is the permitted limit;
this, of course, was an exception
achieved by a peculiarly skilled
miner, but a large number of miners
were within a few dollars of that
figure.

Ham Kautzman Kikes His jan.
Portland, Oregon: Ham Kautzman
whose case has attracted the interest
and sympathy of the Oregon Editorial
association, has refused to accept a
conditional pardon from Governor 01
cott. Kautzman, who is seventy-twc
years old, and was editor of the Col
umbia Herald, was imprisoned for
sending improper matter through the
mail. He still has a year to serve.
Governor Olcott’s pardon was
granted after an investigation made
at the request of the editorial associa
tion. It was conditional on Kautz
man giving up the newspaper busi
ness and leaving the state. “Mj
newspaper has suspended publicatior
and I am virtually ruined, but my onlj
hope of making a living is in th<
newspaper business,” said the ole
man. “If I must leave the state am
have no more to do with the onlj
trade I know, f- would become a publii
charge on some other state. I prefei
to stay in jail.”

TYPICAL SCHOOL TEACHER.

ladies, two of whom are former resi
dents of Holt county, and were edu

teachers of the state who were attend

“In as much as the O’Malley gisters
were formerly from.CrdTghton we cai
almost rightly claim the distinction o:
having had three Creighton ladies a:
typifying for the entire state, and i
very presentable picture it was ai
that.”

FUEL STILL SCARCE.
Alhough the coal strike is officially
over £f majority of the miners have
r not yet returned to work and a fuel
famine prevails generally. In this
1 city but two loads of coal were re
1 ceived last week. The Hanford Pro
duce company however received two
1 cars the first of the week, which pre
vented the city heating and lighting
plant shutting down. Tuesday the
Farmers Union Elevator company
succeeded in getting one car of coal
which had been billed to them before
the strike, released on its| arrival here.
The company however was instructed
that not more than 1,000 pounds to a
customer would be permitted to be
sold.

I THE UNIVERSAL CAR I
WEAK LINKS IN A STRONG CHAIN
That’s just what imitation parts are when they
become a part of your Ford car. They look strong £;£
enough, but the metal isn’t there—the .strong
durable Vanadium steel that goes into the Ford
chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts are jl £■£
specially cast and heat-treated, each according to ® *. t
I its use. Some require a hard, flint-like wearing >
i surface, others need resiliency, and some) need juS',
; II “toughness.” |£
Ford metallurgists have been studying these s ';
£ problems for sixteen years and know just how £;
| each unit should be made to endure a maximum |£r
5 of wear and tear. They know that best results S
| can be obtained only by the use of special formu- §£
las for different parts, and that honest Ford parts
I wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent
£ longer than counterfeits.
We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford
£ parts for both passenger cars and trucks. And
I our garage is equipped to give careful, prompt
I Ford service—from minor adjustments to com
plete overhauls. Drive in, it’s better to be safe
than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealer
for service. We can make delivery on cars in *
thirty days. Give us your order. |||
