AT THE
STATE FARM
Ex-County Clerk Recce and
County Assessor Young , both of
Simeon , returned Sunday morn
ing from Lincoln where they
spent a week at the Stock Grow
er's association. Mr. Reece gives
the following account of their
visit :
"In company with P. H. Young
we attended the meetings of Org
anized Agriculture which meets at
the State Farm each year in Janu
ary.
ary."On
"On reaching Fremont we met
a fellow stockman and worked up
such an animated discussion that
the train for Lincoln pulled out
and lett us , much to our dis
appointment.
"On Monday and Tuesday we
attended the Dairy meeting and
Veterinary meetings where we saw
the milking machines operated and
various surgical operations per
formed on horses , cattle and
mules.
"Tuesday evening we listened
to what we considered one of the
greatest lectures we ever heard ,
by Frank Hall of Illinois. His
subject was 'Education as Applied
to Vocation , ' in which he showed
that one who can do his work well
is a well educated person and that
our schools should more and mom
train our boys and girls to do the
things of actual every day life ,
"Dr. Rogers of the Kansas sta
tion delivered a very encouraging
lecture on tuberculosis in animals
and showed that with proper care
it could be almost entirely eradi
cated within two years.
"On Monday we visited the
State herd and by the courtesy of
Chas. Shumac we were shown the
cattle that were exhibited at the
International Stock Show at Chi-
cago.
"It is a source of great pride to
Nebraskans that we won many
ribbons. 'Flint' , the yearling
Angus steer , weighing more than
1400 pounds , won grand champion
ship over all breeds in the yearl
ing class.
"The poultry show was a sur
prise to us.Ve were complete
ly lost amid so many kinds of
fowls.
"The meeting of 'Improved
Live Stock Breeders' Association'
was the great event of Thursday.
"The 'Judging Pavillion' was
crowded probably 1,000 persons
attended. Prof. Smith of our
University gave a splendid lec
ture on 'stock judging , ' bringing
in types of the various breeds and
showing their good and defective
points. He urged the men to
keep grading up their herds , and
brought out very clearly the kind
of animals which bring the great
est profit to their owners.
"The State Farm holds an an
nual sale of its surplus stock each
year during the Agricultural
meetings. All the stock was pure
bred.
"The hogs sold from § 22.50 to
$55. The cattle , including some
calves , sold from § 35 to § 200.
Anyone wishing a pure bred ani
mal of any breed will do well to
look up this annual sale as they
have about the best in the state ,
and sell on an absolutely fair basis.
"The 'ShQrt Horn and Angus
Associations' held their meetings
Friday.
"We secured much inspiration
and encouragement at these meet
ings and came home more con
tented with our surroundings and
vocation.
"The Farmers' Institute will
meet March 6th , and two very able
men will be wittrus. You will
triiss something that will be worth

dollars and cents to you should you
neglect to hear Prof. Hunt and
Mr. Elliott.
"Should any of our citizens have
any disease among their stock
which they are unable to treat , the
Experiment Station will send
veterinary surgeons to your place
without cost to you to study the
conditions and , if possible , save
the animals. This is important
and should be taken advantage of.
"Friday evening the Governor
and Mrs. Sheldon gave a reception
to the agriculturalists.
"This closed a very pleasant
a'acl profitable week and we urge
more of our farmers and stockmen
to attend these meetings. We be
lieve it is money well invested.
"P. S. One of the features es
pecially interesting to us was a
ride about the city with Rodney
Johnson in his automobile , show
ing us the principal points and
places of interest , going 40 miles
in an hour and half. "
The American Stock Com
pany.
Manager Massingale , getting
the big shows right along , for
tunately has arranged for this big ,
complete attraction of 15 people ,
a special car of scenery valued at
§ 2,000. He has the assurance that
each act will display new drop
curtains and fine set pieces. As
an idea , in the great success , "The
Village Vagabond" a 4-act melo
drama , the first scene is a leg
wood drop hung in front of a
mammoth forest. A sensational
feature of the play is the escape
of the prisoners from Blackwell's
Island prison , using a special
prison drop aid set rocks , also a
mammoth cave scene ; the trial is
held in the police court. Lewis
Kline , the Jew comedian , keeps !
the audience in a good humor ,
while Gladis LJush , the cute little
soubrette , wins the sympathy of
everyone. The old sea captain , a
brute to all appearances , was hissed
at Sterling , Colo. , in the new
opera house , until ib became nec
essary to drop the curtain. Her
ald the brother of the "Villiage
Vagabond , " a heavy with this at
traction , wins the dislike of all ,
thus portraying their parts in a
realistic manner , also showing a
good moral , that the honest and
straightforward path is the only
way to enjoy life.
"The American Cousin" a fine
play that will live in the hearts of
the American people , will be pre
sented on Tuesday night , followed
by the laughing- drama "From
Way Down East , " k'0id Jed
Prouty. "
The company plays here three
nights beginning Monday , Feb.
10th. There are also musical"at
tractions betwtnm ercry axrt ; .
of winter goods in all lines is
now complete. Come and give
us a call. * *
