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

the same time n wouM lie doing

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. CiiANmKH Duos.
