liif Missouri Pacific north of this
ity along th Platte river, are pre
paring to resume their activity in
Ilaing protect ing mats along the
riv.r bank west of the new bridge
f the railroad company. The rail
road has had a great deal of work
l.n at this point to protect the
proieriy of the company from possi

The great amount of snow and

A.ultd over all of the west for the

Yankee King, Jr. is a better

that's saying a lot, but he
proved it this year. He sired

sired Trail Blazer, top pig in

of R. L. Pemberton's herd. He
is the sensation of next year's

Knabe's Hot Shot
Knabe's Hot Shot was second prize boar
at Nebraska in 1 928, being defeated by
his litter mate Nehawka Whirlwind, the
grand champion boar. Knabe's Hot
Shot is the sire of that good gilt, Hot
Shot Lady 15th (shown below). We
had the misfortune to lose him last fall,
so get one of his good gilts now while
you have the opportunity.
Golden Hawkeye
Golden Hawkeye is sired by the Hawk
eye, the big boar of Boyd G. Weidlien.
He is an outcross of blood to most any
one's herd. He is a real high class boar
with lots of snap and style. He will
