Yards Yesterday.

in these days Of big sheep receipts and
steady growth in the mutton trade here
1t Is interesting to know where they
all come from The gain has not been
all from the range country, as generally
supposed, by any means. Missouri for
the past seven months gave us 80, S97
more sheep than the same time last
year. Texas sent In 1913, ,259 more Colo
rado 4j,2SS more, Arizona 1923 more
and New Mexico 2.9SS more From Kan
sas, Nebraska and Utah the arrivals
were lighter. Total gain for the seven
months from all sources, 1aT.93l.
NJ A. Friday, of Diller, Neb in writ
Ing to the zeb r. Crider Commission
Company under date of August says
of the cattle outlook in his state: MY
opinion on cattle is very short They
are out of reach OF everybody. Money
surely must be lost on them The farm
cr now can buy them at big prices. MIR.
Armour and the rest of the gentlemen
VIII have them next spring at their own
figures. The railroads companies will
surely make money. The commission
man will lose his money If he does not
get II before the railroads, The farmer
VIII lose his work and corn both. and
in the place of taking Off the mortga re
a bigger one will have to be put on. All
| can see in cattle feeding at the prices
Is money lost. Now, as to the corn crop,
4 Thayer, jefferson and Gage count ties
have corn only IN local spots There are
any amount OF fields that will not make
anything. There are some that will
raise five bushels to the acre if we have
a good rain soon, and there are streaks
that VIII yield twenty-five and forty
bushels per acre. About Diller the best,
If we do not have rain soon will not
make moro than ten bushels"
