under auspices of the citizens entertainment course drew a fair house and amused it vastly Not that there was lack of instruction It was meaty It was patriotic Man was glorified infinitely above his work There was philosophy and wit Some menaces to our national life were noted -and good advice offered Some of our foibles because the target of his wit and there was much merriment threat Trib utes were paid the little red school house the serviceable homethe saving church in fact to all institutions which minister to the imperial man This was the keynote of The Golden Ago highest service to man highest service by man The general gave utterance to 00 sentiments of love or admiration for a loafer rich or poor The lecture would have been more valuable only with more of meat and less of mirth However none of the fun lacked prompt and full appreciation But McCook audiences have on occasion shown marked proof of appreciative of the eloquent appeal to the intelligence and heart and we need this inspiration and uplift occasionally No Thought of Accommodation Corporate ideas of accommodation seem to fade away with the advent of the trust idea and the exit of competi tion The latest screw

clearingsale I Judging Course Slate University Tho Judging Course begins January 21 and continues to January 28 inclusive It is intended for men who own farms and can not get away for a longer period This course is given up wholly to tho judging of farm animals and seed corn and to discussion of these subjects When breeders and farmers get together and discuss the comparative merits of dif ferent animals under the instruction of a competent judge they will certainly got a great deal of benefit from it A specially fine collection of breeding cat tle and feoding steers will be availablo and special attention will be given to tho judgingpf young bulls of a class that can bo used by farmers for tho produc tion of steers Lectures on horses will bo given and heavy horses will be judged by practical breeders The judging of swine will be given due attention with good specimens at hand of various breeds In corn judging course the young man learns what constitutes a good ear of corn and how to select seed corn If tho best selected seed could be planted in every Nebraska cornfield next Hpring it would increase the yield on our 7000000 acres at least 35000000 bushels in a single season A student finds on ex amination that two ears of corn appar ently the same size may be selected from a bin and one ear will bo found to contain practically twice as much corn as the other He is able to detect corn that is running out By a little study the student learns how to select vigor ous kernels which have a strong germin ating power and will give a- good stand of corn Just now it is very important in Ne braska that the farmer know how to get more out of his corn crop than he can get through the elevator A study of feeding teaches the student what mix tures or combinations of food will pay the largest profit He learns that corn rations require from twenty to twenty eight per cent more food for a given gain than rightly balanced rations He also learns that there is a very great differ ence in the value of animals dependent on their type and breeding He learns how to judge accurately the quality of feedingsteers and breeding cattle and is much better prepared to mako a success of the live stock business after his course in the school Simple Funeral Ceremonies Simple funeral ceremonies were held over the remains of Mrs A W Utter at the home of her son D W Colson last

owing to the scarcity of feeds which produce lean meat after all the lard hog is most profitable for the corn belt farmer is interesting and en titled to consideration Mr Ferguson states his reasons
