Rogers Herefords
Now that the rush and confusion of
the fair season is over we desire to call
attention again to W N Rogers herd
of pure bred Herefords at McCook Neb
At the Nebraska state fair Mr Rogers
prize winnings were as follows Aged
bull none entered 2-year-old bull first
second and third Beau Donald was first
and took the senior champion and ribbon
and money Monarch of Shadeland was
second and Hooker third Both of last
two were sired by Anxiety Monarch the
great bull that was killed on his way
home from the fair two years ago He
weighed 2bUU lbs at o years and was
almost as smooth as most of the great
show bulls that are much smaller Mr
Rogers took second on yearling bull on
bull calf On aged cow ho took second
and third On two year old heifer sec
ond and yearling heifer third On
heifer calf second On aged herd and
on young herd second Get of bull
first and produce of cow first The
classes of Hereford show cattle were
stronger at the Nebraska state fair this
year than they have ever been before
and in many instances where Mr Rogers
animal did not get first in class the
quality was so close to first that it was
almost a matter of chance selection

How the True Angler Broil Trout
For Ills Noonday Meal
In the deep shade of the tree the bas

friendship fires which shall also
cook a few trout Get two fiat stones
friend and theyll be hard to find In
this bowlder country but thoy are
sometimes worn quite lint -while I
gather some sufficient wood Into the
fire the stones go and the wood is
heaped about them Soon the intense
glow of live wood embers indicates
that the time has come
The trout a sliver of bacon In each
are placed on one stone first well dust
ed of its ashes and the other stone Is
laid upon them Now the hot embers
are raked about and over the stones
and the lunch is spread on the big

A Lot of Land
A Ilartford lawyer is of the opinion
that the term lot as applied to a par
cel of land is an American product not
derived from any other uses of the
word He says I have been reading
up some of the old histories of my
state of Long Island and other colo
nial sections recently and I find that
the term a lot of land was originated
in the colonies that it is today consid
ered an Americanism and stands apart
from other uses of the word It origi
nated from the custom of dividing
grants for townships etc into parcels
of land and then numbering each par
cel putting the numbers into a hat or
whatever was used and then having
them drawn out by those who were to
occupy the land Each man took the
parcel corresponding to his number so
his land came by lot literally and
hence the use of the term This I pre
sume is ancient history but perhaps
ancient enough to have been forgotten
by most real estate dealers and other
people who deal in land and not lan
guage
Lightning and Watchen
An electrical storm seems to have
a peculiar effect on some timepieces
remarked the junior partner of a big
downtown jewelry firm Every time
lightning and thunder get active in
this vicinity one of the results is that
our watch repairing department is
overworked for several days there
after The damage wrought chiefly
consists of broken mainsprings
When business gets dull with us
added the jeweler jokingly we re
quire all our employees to pray for a
thunderstorm Failure to comply with
this order is considered sufficient cause
for discharge I am unable to make
clear the whys and wherefores but it
is an established fact that after the
lightning has frolicked awhile in come

Societys Right to Confiscate
What shall become of a mans prop
erty after he is dead is a matter for so
ciety to determine If it seems inexpe
dient to allow a rich man to leave a
child reared in luxury without means
of support or to leave a quarrel on the
hands of his heirs it is entirely within
societys right to restrict his license in
that particular The whims of testa
tors are a good deal of a nuisance and
are too much respected by law though
not by courts Life
Superstitions About Bees
The superstitions which connect bees
with the death or sickness of the mem
bers of the particular family in which
they are kept are interesting In Scot
land and Ireland the entrance of a bee
into a cottage more particularly if it
be a bumblebee is looked upon as a
certain sign of the death of some one
then residing there In other locali
ties if bees in swarming settle upon
dead wood it is regarded as equally
ominous
