REAVIS Jr. " 4 The Tribune The Newspaper with the big circulation. Enough said. FULL INVESTIGATION IS INVITEE A Little of State Politics. That the republican party Intends - tends to deserve success is dem onstrated by the demands of the rank and tile for clean can didates. There is now a grow ing' sentiment for Peter Morten- sen for governor because of the splendid service he has done the state as its treasurer. Mr. Mortcnscn is a Dane and speaks the English language brokenly. He is foreign in appearance. He impresses one as a very earnest , able man , and one of great reserve strength. H e might not be a shining success in a New York ball room , but he would make good in any company where rugged manhood and moral courage were the essentials. Mr. Mortensen is as big physically as he is mentally and morally and the party would never have cause for apology for any uf his acts as an official. * * * George Sheldon , the young Cass county tnrmer , is also mentioned for the same ollice. Mr. Sheldon has long been in the front ranks of those who labor for a higher code of ethics in politics , lie stands sqnrely on the platform of equal rights , and as opposed to favoring special interest. Mr. Sheldon is not an avowed candidate , but woukl probably accept the nom ination if his party should call upon him. He is possessed of a considerable fortune as is Mr. Mortensen and could afford to jccome govern > r if occasion should require. ° * * Of course there will be a num jer of names mentioned for this ollice between now and the next state convention ; in fact there ire several other gentlemen al ready suggested as available candidates. John Wall seems to be the one whom the railroads think should receive the nomi nation. His connection with the railroads is so well known that it is doubtful if his candi dacy will become formidable. He comes from the same portion of the state as Mortensen and it is said that he could not se cure a delegation from any of the surrounding counties if Mortensen allows his name to be used : Vt * The election of a successor to Senator Millard is also agita ting the public mind. It seems a foregone conclusion that Mill ard will not succeed himself though he may be depended up on to make quite a fight. Norris Brown seems to have the call at this time and the deman'd is go ing up from all parts of the stale that the next state convention shall declare for him. Brown has made an excellent official during the past two years and has made many friends by his ability and untiring efforts in behalf of the people as against curtain grasping cor porations. Of course there is many a slip in politics and Brown may not be selected , but at this time he seems to be the favorite. * * * Another gentleman whose name is frequently spoken of in connection with this office is Ross Hammond of the Fremont Tribune. Ross has been the maker ol Senators , as it was hi who brought out Burkett , and his friends think it is his turn to be made Hammond is a man of broad and liberal ideas. He is a splendid busine-s man ami has generally been found light ing on the light side. Hammond mend and Brown are b ith young men of the earnest , courageous type , who have ideas of then own and the courage to give them voice. Either would b ( acceptable to the party and one or the other stands an excellen chance of success. * # * For the other state offices It seems quite likely that all o the present officials will be giv en second terms. With a few nmor exceptions their services lave been acceptable -rnd the ) eople as a rule arj i't f tv > r of tutable recognition to those vho have been faithful and true n their efforts. . Market Letter. Stock Yards , Kansas City , Mo. . Monday , Jan. , 29 , 1UOO. Although there was quite a re- luctiou in the cattle supply last cek at all j oints-l-JOOat , ) Kan- as City against 5,000 ! ) previous veek , the demand for fed steers vas not as strong as formerly , ml prices on them declined 10 o if ) cents from Monday's > rices A large proportion of ho offering of steers were geode o choice , numerous bunches elling at $5.50 to $ r > .0 ( ) . and plenty of cattle atr > .00 to $5.50. Df course , this is the natural re- ectiou of the longer period of ceiling the cattle now coming lave h-id , as a rule. Cow stuff ind butcher cattle advanced 10 : o 15 cents during the week , ind stockers and feeders made a big gain of 10 to Iftcents Mon lay and Tuesday , but loxt a ) ortion of their snap before the veek ended. The run o'f cattle today is , 2,000 head , as compared with 000 last week on Monday. Other markets fire fairly well supplied , prices -teady here on ed steers , top § 5.-10 , cows , butcher stuff and stoker * and eeders strong to 10 higher. Packers complained last week of congested dressed m e a t narkets in the cast , but this condition has had a chance for some relief , in the moderate re ceipts last week. Export de- nand has fallen off abruptly iowi-ver , and the general con- lition of the fat steer market ast week was one of lassitude , caused by over exertion all this nonth. The situation is likely .o revive this week , in fact only ed steers have been affected as 'et. Bulk of steers -hows high er than formerly , because of onger feed as a rule , at $1.25 to $5.15 , fair to good heifers $3.50 o $4.50 , fed cows $11.00 , "eal $5.50 to $7.00 , feeders &J.75 to jl.50 , stockers $3.25 to $1.00 , stock cows and heifers $2.25 to $3.00 , stock calves $2.75 to $ -1. Hog receipts diopped off last week , 5G)00 , against (5(5,000 ( ( previous - vious week and 73,000 same last year. Prices were barely teady , but s h o w e d most strength toward the end of the week , and without much net charge at any time. Supply to , lay is (5000 ( head , market .steady to strong , tup $ j.-17J , bulk $ j.35 to $5.45 , light hogs up to $ r > . .lO , pigs $4.80 to $5.00. Average weight for January is 'J22 pounds igainst 203 pounds last January. Receipts are about the same in volume , but prices are 55 to 70 cents higher than a year ago. Sheep and lambs advanced 15 to 30 cents Monday and Tues day , but lost most of the gain liy the end of the week. Sup ply was moderate at 27,000 head igainst 49,000 prevous week , which wa- fortunate , as buyers lid noi need any more than came in. Supply today is 12,000 lead , market steady to 10 louei lambs selling at $5.75 to $7.2u , yearlings § 5.00 to $ (5.25 ( , wether.1- $5.50 to $5 95 , owes $5.oo to.1.40. G. E Nims of Humboldt , Neb. one of the best knuwn fanners and cattle feeders in that part of the state , prefers tne Iriifh grade West. rn steers for feed , ing purposes , lie had on tl c market tod.iy ; i c.irloud of Sand Hill steers o ! hK own feeding that made a good record. They showed a gain of over ! ! OC pound per head on a feed of les- than four months. ' Thest Western steers" said Mr. Nims are hardy and well bred , am will always feed out well. Thej are bred up as a rule to a high er point than our native cattle and the two kinds are when pu on feed on equal footing. Th result favors the Westerns as rule.1' Mr. Nims has been resident of that country for 8 years , and has been a patron of the Kansas City market for many \cars , although he has to ship through St. .Joseph to reach this market.

Is Sheep Raising Profitable ? To Wallaces' Fanner. That is Iho question that many farmoiM have imki'd tlieniHelveH , but all have not given the ques tion due coiiHideialion. In the fits ! plaee , many that are prone to give ndviee on ithnoHt any subject and do not know innuh about Iho sheep business , have lieaid HOUIO little Htory against Bhoop , BO tlmy streteh Iho Htory to ilH utinoBt oliiHliciiy nnd in this way the ahoop business is often d Morred. Aiming these fltories against the sheep buninoBR and one whitih dot'H much undne harm i H : "Caltl" will not gnr/o well in the Kame piihlun1 with Hheep. " ThiH Hlaleineni came from Iho range , where in a way it wan true , but on I he farms in the corn belt il can- nut < ) e applied at all , On the range , where gnn-s was Bcaree and live Hlock WIIH abundant , if a largo bunch uf sheep WIIH pastured on a [ jlace for a period of lime they would eat the glass down HO short that eallle could not net a bite. If a farmer would put a Hock of Hhoep and a held of caitte in a B'nall piihture and keep Ihern 'heio t)8oe which would live the longer , the sheep or the cattle , h < > would find the sheep to win. Uiilo Intel thai not many farmers would try such an experiment with their live Block , iiid sve believe thai " the matter applien to the IIIOB ! of UH that sheep do not injure cuttle piiHtuiOH. But we may emphasize Iho fact that ( he rcvciso is true. I1 is our aim to always run Hheep in ( lie ealtlo paMuies for vaiioiiH teahniiB , part of which wo submit : The IIIUH ! important one IB to keep weeds down ; and at the name time be turning thein into mutton and wool , which are as good an gold. Yon may look over the calllo pna t tires throughout the length and breadth of this land and you will notice in every one of them patches of weeds hero and there , which , together with the grass be. ncath thorn , are untouched. If a Hinall bunch of sheep were turned into each e'lttle pasture these patches of weeds would not appear. Instead of ( his quite a few exlr/i dollars would bo in the owner'n pocket. Out of (500 ( weeds which grow in the corn belt , uhet-p svill eat 57(5 ( of them. Also may wo state that sheep will make larger gains from an equal amount of feed than any other farm aiiimal. Hence we have economic production , and thut is what we are all seeking ; You know we are not all in the Hleol and oil corporations. And on the rolling land , of which there ! H so much , yu can notice a great ( lill'ererice bet ween the ilitcliew in cattle nnd fihcop pafitnreK. In thr latter Iho ditches will not be get ! ing deeper each year , but thert will be grass growing uplhe banlu and all around ; whil < * in the cattli pastures the ditches are nlwuyi kepi heft in the bottom by tin ciitil'-'ri wailing iher > * , and tlii * M i is washed out Ml wry ram.

The grain \vmilil ho waste i and at the same time n wouM lie doing harm. The laiuiM tVd in suuli n way usually prove very prtditable. And there Would be no extra work attached to the feeding of thorn. Despite the well established fact that sheep make the largest gains from a given amount of feed , their droppings are by far the most tuilritiotiH to the soil of all manures. Tfn.flock of sheep are permitted to rest on a spot of ground for sometime , the grass will gJow up very rapidly ( heiv and cattle enjoy pasturing such places. So you too that the drop , pings from n Ivi'tch of sheep all over a pnstmv would be stiro to uniformly strengthen the soil. Not only deed the sheep malro Inrgc llcsh gains , but nl the same time it in growing n valuable llooce which is sold at a time of the year when most farmers nrc especially glad to receive it. llence wo liuvo the profits twioo a year , a fact true of no other farm animal. Some farmers will say that they would have sheep if ( heir farms were fenced properly. Much of this is due to imagination. A farmer in our community had a good four wire cattle fence , and be bought tome sheep and turned them in the p'ltMnrc ' and never did one thing to the fence , and never has boon troubled to any great extent by the sheep gettingout. . Hut if you only have a throe wire fence , it ie very easy mid cheap to just put two smooth wires below and you have a sheep fence good enough for anyone , and the cost would bo trifling. Sheep do not need ny such fence IIB hogs or goats do The money spent in fencing a farm for shsep would be very Binalhn compiiiison with the boneiit that thu sheep would do the farm. A small bunch of sheep could be fed for prac-lioally noth ing on the average farm. In the summo1 , just before the laM plosv- ing of the corn , rape seed could bo sown and in the fall you would have a great Biillicioiicy of green food for the hhoCp until the hard frosts came. Then the sheep could be turned on the meadow nml the feed consumed would bo hardly missed , and in the winter it docs not take BO very much feed. Good corn fodder nd clover hay will keep the ilock in quite good condition. Of co-urno there are a few who have gene into the sheep business expecting the dollars to come as fast as they could haul them to the bank for deposit , who are possibly bome-wlmt against the inilii-try , but against these few t hen * stand thousands of men who have gone into the business with will and doleimiiiatirni , that have received bountiful reward for their industry and who all nay that sheep an1 the most profitable of all farm animals and that they would not be without it flock of the "golden hoofs" as long as they farm.
