As supplies were not very large and as both local pack ers and shippers had liberal orders to till, it took dealers but u short time to got down to business and clean up the offerings at prices that were fully steady with the close of last week. Strictly good to choice 1,200 to 1,500 pound beeves sold from $12.00 to $13.10, the latter figure being a new record paid for beef steers at this point.

Hog receipts were just about normal for a Monday at tills time of the year, arrivals footing up 86 cars, or about 6,500 head. Demand from shippers was fairly good and more than a third of the offerings were taken hy them rather early at prices that were around 10c higher generally, and ranging from a big 15c up in some cases to not over 5c higher in others. Packers had done nothing up to a rather late hour. They showed no in clination to follow the shipper's ad vance. Sheep and lamb receipts for Mon day were estimated at 20 cars, or 4.800 head, being a little smaller than last Monday, hut a gain of 1,800 head over a year ago.

Dehart from Montana. W. P. Kilby from Illinois and a number of our citizens, Bayard is—if not ef fectually—rid of a few of its most promintnt booze sellers. While it has been known for some time that it was freely sold in places, the next ques tion was proof and how to stop it. It was decided to employ the two above named gentlemen and while they were out of town men, yet it took them about a month to get the evidence desired. As a result, eight arrests wTere made consisting of four Mexicans, two Greeks and two white men, one of the latter being C. C. Stevens, who came under the toils of the law a short time ago on a similar charge. Lack of evidence cased two of the Mexicans to be turned loose, but we understand they have departed ■‘for fairer fields and greener pas tures." The lion share of the credit for the “round-up” is due to Marshal Burnett. There is one thing certain, that if the people of Bayard want a clean town, they will have to stand behind the men wrho are trying to make it so and aid them in every way possible.—Bayard Transcript. THE DAIRY HERD. “Let the dairy cow do the work,” is the advice of C. A. Nelson of Wav erly, Iowa, who was one of the speak ers on the Union Pacific farm prepar edness special here last Thursday. Mr. Nelson, who was sent to Nebraska by the agricultural extenion depart ment of the International Harvester Company to help the farmers in their patriotic efforts to increase the food supply of the nation, has made a great success as a dairy farmer and recently sold one of his celebrated Holstein cows for $10,000. “A good herd of dairy cattle with a pure bred sire is the best investment a Nebraska farmer can make,” said Mr. Nelson. “No farmer need go be yond his means in securing a herd. He may begin with good grade cattle but should have a pure bred sire, which is half the herd. He should take good care of the cattle, feed them intel ligently, and weed out the poor ones. Gradually he should build up his herd by changing over to pure bred cattle. I am not in position to advise as to breed. That is a matter of personal opinion and selection. But no dairy man should keep any ‘boarder cows,’ that is. cows that do not pay for their keep. Know what every cow is earning and get rid of the ones that do not pay. “The Spoilers” Rex Beach’s Thrilling Tale of the Alaskan Gold Fields 1 2 Reels of Love, Life, Liberty and Romance at Loup City Opera House Saturday, May 19, ‘17 j ADMISSION 10 and 20 CENTS j Matinee at 2:30 Night at 8:00 "Grow alfalfa and have one or more silos. A silo will enable the farmer to use up all his waste forage and con 1 vert it into the best paying produce of the farm dairy products. A silo will [ enable the farmer to double the num ber of cows on an acre that he other wise will be able to feed and at the same time save much of his grain for i human food.” RAISE MORE HOGS. | No branch of live-stock farming is moe productive of satisfactory results than the raising of well-bred swine, if | conducted with reasonable care, ae { cording to the specialists of the Bu | reau of Animal Industry. United States Department of Agriculture. Hogs fit into the modern scheme of farming on nearly every farm, and are one of the most important animals to raise both for meat and for money. ‘ They require less labor, less equipment and less capital, make greater gains j per hundred pounds of concentrates ! fed. reproduce themselves faster and ! in greater numbers, and give a quicker "turnover" of money than any 1 other animal except poultry.. Farmers I of the South and West particularly j have awakened to the merits of the I hog and are rapidly increasing their output of pork and their bank ac counts. Read to Happiness.

Because of the great scarcity of bean seed and the great value of beans as a “war food,” the Agricultural Ex tension Service of the College of Agri culture, Lincoln, has arranged for the purchase of two car loads of seed which will be sold at cost to citizens of the state who want the beans for planting. One carload of Navy beans will be sold at not more than 19% cents per pound, f. o. b. Lincoln in 100-pound lots. A carload of Pinto beans will be sold at 14 cents per pound in 100 pound lots f. o. b.

Pinto beans are recommended for central and western Nebraska and the Navy for eastern Nebraska. In counties where there are county agents (or farm demonstrators), the beans may be secured in any quantity at the above prices by making appli- j cation to the county agent. If there is no agent in the county, orders will be received at the Extension Service for Pinto beans in small lots at 15 cents per pound f. o. b. Lincoln and Navy beans at 22 cents per pound. All orders must be sent to Exten sion Service at Lincoln, Nebraska, and cash must accompany orders. These beans will be held for only ten days. NEW HELMETS FOR MARINES. Washington, May 16.—Bullet and slirapnel-resistent trench helmets have been adopted for the U. S. Marines. I These “Soldiers of the Sea” are the j first American armed forces to adopt ! this spitzer-proof headgear, and to ae-1 tually prepare for its manufacture, i The new marine corps helmet, with | which the entire corps will be equip ped, is a compromise between the French and the British types. It con forms to the size and shape of the average head and can be snugly fit ted by the adjustment of a cloth cap inside. It is made of a single piece of chilled steel. Under test the helmet re sisted eight steel-jacketed bullets at 100 feet from the Springfield rifle, and broke only upon the impact of the ninth missile. I Business and professional Guide ) t ROBT.
