George Shields purchased from the
Murray Hardware company a brand
new seven horse power Rock Island

many other uses to be found around
the farm for such a convenient piece
of machinery.
Much complaint is heard from the
farmers in regard to the cut worms,
which are said to be taking whole
fields of corn. This is a peculiar oc
currance for this pest, as their work
is usually done in wet springtime,
and it has been six years since they
damaged the planted crop to any
marked degree in this vicinity. It
is to be hoped their work will not
be of long duration, as replanting
of corn fields at this late time of
the season is not a very profitable
bus'ness.

WILL RAISE SOME WHEAT.
From Monday's Daily
John Murtye who is in the grain
business, as well as in the legisla
ture and knows what he is talking
about has the following to say re
garding the prospects for a crop of
wheat notwithstanding the contin
ued dry Weather:
"John Murtey of Alvo, who has
been buying grain in Nebraska and
Kansas for a good many years, says
that it is a mistake to worry ovtr
dry weather in a wheat country.
"Wheat needs a certain amount of
moisture, it is true," he says, "but
it also needs a great deal of dry
weather. We complained last year
because it didn't rain more, bjit lot
me tell you that last season was a
perfect year for the wheat that came
through the winter. Dry weather
puts the strength of the plant into
the berrys instead of into the stalk.
When you see the grain growing
thick and rank and as high as your
breast you are likely to think a fine
crop is certain, but don't be too sure.
Illinois and Iowa have more grain
than we do, besides a rich soil, bvt
they don't keep up with us in wheat
production. Their weat runs to
straw while in a properly dry year
ours runs to grain."
Mr. Murtey adds that he has sold
a carload of new Marquis wheat this
season. It has spread all over Hie
western part of Cass county. They
says that ten thousand acres of :t
have been planted around Green
wood. Professor Burr, of the state
farm describes it as a semi-hard
spring wheat which yields an aver
age of one bushel an acre more than
other varieties. It is slightly infer
ior in milling qualities than other
kinds, but in the whole is considered
the best spring wheat for this part
of Nebraska. It was extensively us
ed to make tip for the winter killing
of fall wheat last year and promises
to be popular for the same purpose in
the future. It isn't citea that the
winter wheat fails to come through
in good condition, but wheu one of
these disasters occurs it is a great
comfort for men who prefer wheat to
corn and oats to have the Marquis
wheat to fall back upon in the
spring. State Journal.

THE DANGER SIGNALS.
Do you rise in the morn ng as tired
as if you had done a day's work?
Do you feel cros and irritable? Do
you suffer from insomnia, loss of

increasing exhaustion? No one can
afford to disregard these danger sig
nals sent out by nature. You must
take at once the necessary steps, that
is to clean out the stomach and to
restore the normal functions of the
digestive system. Triner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine is the remedy
which will quickly readjust the nor
mal conditions. It is the most re
liable and at the same time very
palatable remedy which especially
now, in May and June, is the best
appeaser of all stomach troubles. At
