There are over 1.000 rural routes in Nebraska and the most money the United States government appropri ate for the use of each state will be spent on mail routes.

Remember its ycur picinc a;> much a? mine. Chase's for fresh groceries. The big talker often says little things Villa, in the number of his lives, has shoved the cat off the map. Every man is supposed to be the architect of his own fortune, but many of the forget to build. This is good, bur it isn’t ours: "In ternational law is an old fiddle upon which any tune cvan be played.

Some choice long j yearlings brought $9.75. Bulk of tho | fair to good 1,000 to 1,250-pound cat j tie sold around $8.85@ 9.35. Supplies of cows and heifers were limited, and with a broad demand for them, prices were firmly held. No corn feds of any consequence are coming and prices are around $7.50@ 8.50. Strictly good to choice grass stock is selling around $6.60@7.35.

Some of the early shipping pur chases were made around 5@10c low I er. The packers bought most of their hogs at about a 15c lower basis than at the close of last week. A good share of the packers hogs sold at $9.15@9.25, many strings selling at | $9.20. There was a fair showing of i the good to choice lights, and butch ers on up, the top being $9.70. Receipts of sheep and lambs for - Monday were the largest since the ! range season opened, some 63 loads | or about 17,000 head were reported in. Owing to the heavy supply pack ers made their early bids on a 15c to some instances a quarter lower basis. Bulk of the lambs sold at $10.50® 10.65, nothing going above the latter figure. The supply of native mutton on hand here was very large, and prices were weak to 10@15c lower. Yearlings and wethers stopped at $7.70.

With com above 50 cents hogs eat their heads off very quickly. The hog that takes two or three months to get on full feed never brings you ! a profit. When you are ready to put your shoats on feed, begin with the B. A. Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly and watch your shoats round out int o fat hogs in nine months—hogs ; going well over 200 pounds and as high as 240 pounds. Figure the av : erage feeding and you will see why the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good investment. Try feeding out your hogs on this plan and if you are not more than pleased, we will refund i the cost of the medicine. —J. J. Slo minski.
