What Is a Senior Calif
BROWNVILLE. Neb., June 16 (Special.)
Boms misunderstanding has arisen in re
gard to the provision In the Nebraska
Stats fair premium list relating to what
are termed "senior calves." The provision
reads ( months and under 1 year (not per
mitted to have nurse mother). The Board
of Managers rule that during the state fair
such calves are not permitted to nurse but
one cow; such cow may be the mother of
such calf or not. In either event during
the week of the state fair such calf to
nurse but one cow.
This provision in regard to "not to have
nurse mother" was inserted at the sug
gestion of the secretary of the Illinois State
Board of Agriculture and applies to senior
calves only; that la, "6 months and under 1
year."
The classification In regard to senior and
Junior calves In the beef breeds was made
at the request of breeders of beef cattle
and was not Intended to apply to the dairy
breeds.
In both exhibitors herd and breeders'
herd" in class B-cattle, the premium list
provides for animals "under 1 year" and
makes no mention of "nurse mother."
Therefore, In exhibitors' herd and breed
ers' young herd an exhibitor can show
animals under 1 year regardless of whether
they have nurse mother or not.
In dairy breeds, class B. lots 8 and 9.
premium numbers 175, 179, 191 and 195 should
read "under 1 year," Instead of "under 6
months."
The secretary's office has been moved
from Brownvllle to Lincoln and S. C. Bas
sett appointed to fill vacancy.

PAPILLION, Neb., June 16. (Special.)
At the last meeting of the Town board of

bill of $1,152.76 as a balance due him on

construction of the plant at once. The
bonds not being sold, the contract was not
made for several months, necessitating him
shipping the material back. During this
period he asserts prices increased on ma
terial so much that he lort an equal
amount to the above figure on the deal
when he was compelled to re-buy. The
board states that Nicholson accepted the
Job subject to the sale of the bonds, and
that if he made any purchase beforehand
he should be the loser. They threw his
claim out. Citisens say the board may
sue Nicholson on his bond on account of
the plant being unsatisfactory.
