FINLEY’S BROTHER BIG DAIRY FARMER An interesting incident has been re lated by Dr. W. F. Finley who recently returned from a visit with his brother, L. M. Finley who is a prominent dairy farmer in southwestern Wisconsin. It is illustrative of the handicaps un ded which some high producing dairy counties are laboring and the lengths they will go to improve conditions. The soil on the farm owned by Mr. L. M. Finley contained a quantity of acid sufficient to kill alfalfa and pre vent the starting of a satisfactory stand. Going to a lime quarry about a mile distance from his farm Mr. Finley bought 250 cords of lime stone and then had it pulverized upon his place and spread over eight acres of land which he wanted to put into con dition to raise alfalfa. “Eight acres of good alfalfa land will be enough, if it produces right, to supply me with ensilage and hay,” he said, “and I am willing to pay any (price to put the soil in proper shape. I can make it back out of increased milk production.” Mr. Finley has in ten years, start ing with nothing but faith in the dairy business, built up one of the leading herds in the state of Wisconsin and cows from his herd demand prices that stagger a Nebraskan. It just goes to prove what can be done in a business that heretofore has been a minor issue in Nebraska. FRANK T A NCASTER TO IMPORT CAR LOAD OF WISCONSIN HOLSTEINS The ILst move in Holt county to wards -...^ ..1.1 dairy production was made this wean, when Frank Lancast er closed a deal to import a car load of Wisconsin Holstein cows to be de livered in about two yeeks. All of the cows are bred to drop calves early in March which will give the basis for a fine herd, “I am convinced that I can make more money out of dairying than any other line of farming,” Mr. Lancaster said, “and I am not going to put feed in cows that will not give a heavy milk production.” Stating that he bought a few pure bred cows and the rest good “grades,” Mr. Lancaster said he intended to build up his herd from the pure bred until he should have a pure bred herd. The cattle are being bought for Mr. Lancaster by a dairy man in his ac quaintance who has had long and suc cessful experience with dairy cows and who knows a good milk cow when he sees her. But alL cows will be test ed when they arrive. Their milk pro ducing qualities as well as health are guaranteed and it is safe to say that Frank Lancaster will have the leading dairy cows in this section of the state, state. Mr. Lancaster is now looking to his equipment to get it in shape to take care of the new milkers. Before an other winter comes on he intends to have his barns as warm as they can be made. He is planning on building a silo for furnishing fresh feed. The silo is of great advantage to dairy far mers and will pay for themselves in comparatively short time in increased milk production. It is understood that several other parties are planning on shipping in good Holsteins from the larger dairy states. If this proves to be true it means a great boom to the dairy in dustry around O’Neill and a general increase in prosperity. MANY DAIRY FEATURES WILL BE DISCUSSED FEBRUARY 4th AND 5th -*— Plans for the Agricultural Short Course to be held in O’Neill, February 4th and 5th under the auspices of the O’Neill Commercial club and the Farm Bureau are now complete and the meetings promise to be the best of the kind held in Holt county for a long time. While the series of meetings will chiefly interest farmers it will have much of interest to all people interestd in the development and the prosperity of Holt county. The meetings will be held during the afternoons of Monday and Tues day, February 4th and 5th, beginning promptly at one o’clock each after noon. Those who arrive early will be rewarded for their efforts by a music al program-which has been arranged by the Commerical club. Of especial interest, aside from the lectures to be delivered by experts from the Agricultural Extension De partment, will be dairy and poultry exhibits. The dairy exhibit will be featured by a “mechanical cow” which is a unique device of educational in terest. In the poultry exhibit is prom ised a splendid display of latest poult ry equipment and appliances. The two exhibits which require an entire baggage car to transport will arrive Sunday from Chadron, Nebr., where it has been on display at the Dawes county farmer’s congress and will be assembled at the K. C. Hall in O’Neill on Monday morning ready for the afternoon session. The Agricultural Short Course will ST.PATRICK’S CHURCH CATHOLIC Sunday Services: First Mass 8 a. m.t Second Mass 9 a. m„ Hiph Mass at 10.30 a. m. Vespers 7:30 p. m. Daily Mass 8 a. m.

Davis, who will lect ure on subjects pertaining to dairy ing, is the head of the dairy depart ment of the State Agriculaural Col lege and a man with a splendid repu tation in dairy circles. Lectures on poultry raising will be given by Mr. i'. E. Mussel who is head of the poul try department of the State Agricul ture College. Both of these men have large and finely equipped farms at their disposal and are constantly work ing in the practical phases of their subjects. The main theme of the short course will be dairying which is also the sub ject of a great campaign that is just about to be launched in Nebraska. A fund of $100,000.00 has been raised for the purpose of educating Nebras ka farmers along dairy lines with the view of increasing dairy production. It has been realized by state author ities that Nebraska is especially well adapted to dairy work aid the pros perity of the state can be increased through dairy production more quick ly and to a greater extent than in any other way. Business interests throughout the state have been quick to realize this and have subscribed crenerously to the fund of $100,000.00 with the view of popularizing dairy ;ng and promoting the prosperity of the state. Attention has been directed to the tact that while Nebraska is perhaps as well or better adapted to dairying than any other state it is only fifth among the dairy producing states. It is believed that Nebraska can easily be made one of the leading states il a better knowledge of the business is had by Nebraska farmers. Much de pends upon the care and handling of cows in addition to the securing of a better grade of milkers. The state ment has been made by interested far mers locally that the production of Holt county could be doubled without expense to the farmers were the best dairy method generally known and understood. The short course which is to be free to every one is being presented by the O’Neill Commercial Club and the Holt County Farm Bureau. The speakers on dairying and poultry culture are being furnished free by the state while the Commercial Club and Farm Bureau are defraying all local expen ses including hall rent, drayage, adver tising and the like. “Farmers have done much for the business men of O’Neill,” one official of the Commer cial C'ub stated, “and it is only fair chat they should show their apprecia tion to the farmer by offering them the advantage of the Agricultural Short Course. We shall feel well paid if our farmers take advantage of the good things to be offered by the Speak ers at the two day’s sessions.” The short course is being advertis ed in all towns in Holt county and far mers everywhere invited. It is to be made quite an event in O’Neill during the two afternoons. The Farm Bureau is cooperating in every possible to pro mote the success of the meetings. SCHOOL NOTES.

Many O’Neill People Have Found This To Be True. Are you wretched in bad weather? Does every cold settle on your kid neys? Does your back ache and become weak ? Are urinary passages irregular and distressing. These synfptoms are cause to sus pect kidney weakness. Weakened kidneys need quick help. Doan’s Pills are especially prepared for weakened kidneys. Ask your neighbor! O’Neill people recommend them. Mrs. Chas. Pruss, O’Neill, sayB: “I caught cold and it settled on my kid neys, disordering them. This caused me a great deal of annoyance and I had sharp catches in my back and kidneys that hurt severely. There al ways seemed to be a heavy dull feel ing just over my kidneys and at times it became very bad. I was advised by a friend who had used Doan's Pill* to try them so I got a box. The first box relieved me so much that I could eo to bed and sleep the night through. The pains and stiffness left my back and I have been strong in every way since. I very seldom have an attack of the old trouble but I always find at such times that a few Doan's re lieve it in short order.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
