'V are ij'foud of the fact that the marvelous success of Mr. . Waddington is not an exceptional case. Many other farmers in Custer county have built modest fortunes in the past few years , having no capital except health and strength and a quarter or half section of Uncle Sam's fertile soil that he gave to those who would occupy it. The Omaha Stockman of the 10 inst has the following to say in reference - ence to Mr. Waddington's shipment - ' ment of cattle to the Omaha market : , ISamuel Waddington , one of Cu r county's best stockmen and feeders , brought in three loads of grade Hereford steers of his 'o' n , raising and feeding from Ortello , that sold at $5.15 , the top .price paid for cat tle of their weight and age since April. . "The steers were mostly 2 year olds , wlth a light sprinkling of yearlings. They have been on feed since October and when placed on the market were as fi ely finished as any seen here in a good long time. , One very noticeable feature of their appearance - pearance was that they were sleek and smooth fleshed and anothar was that they showed very little effect from their long shipment. .Mr. Waddington attributes these conditions to the use of Standard Stock Food. He used it from the 'start and says he will never feed without it. The train on which the stock arrived was late but the. steers suffered a shrink of only fourteen pounds. In many cases it runs as high as forty and fifty pounds in hip- ments from that locality. The cattle were started on snapped and finished on shelled corn. There were fifty five head in the bunch and they averaged 1253 pounds. A small bunch of cows sold out at $4.30. "Mr. Waddington expressess himself as well pleased with his treatment on this market. He , , was advised to take his cattle tCi Chicago , but declined. He says I , he doesn't see how he could have : , done better. IJe says furthel that the outcome of the deal is most satisfactory and that hE will continue to use the samE methods in feeding as those em. ployed in the abOTe case.

We mean Savage , Hol- comb , Kirkpatrick , Currie and Kem. If t , farmers and other citizens of "Custer county only knew it this school would give our county the greatest of its history. Let our people read up about the location of Normal Schools and what they have d.one in othltf states for the _ uspective counties in which they are located and they would each and everyone put theIr hands in their pockets and hand ou twenty dollars to secure - cure this object.
