DECHMAN BROS.

CORNER OF STARR AND WALNUT,
Probably in the history of the
representative houses, no more
worthy example can be found of
what can be accomplished by en-
ergy, integrity and well directed
efforts, than is so strikingly ex-
emplified in the successful career
of Messrs. Dechman Bros, who
founded their business this year.
They do general commission bus
mess and are wholesale dealers in
produce and fruits. They have
commodious quarters on the Sun
set railroad tracks, corner of Starr
and Walnut streets, have excellent
shipping facilities, have no dray-
age, hence they are enabled to sell
at bottom prices. They ship to all
the surrounding country and en-
joy a large local business, which
is gradually increasing. In the
conduction of the business five
men are given employment. All
orders received by them, either by
mail or telephone, ARE given prompt
attention. This, coupled with the
push and progressiveness of the
individual members of the firm, is
the main cause of their great sue.
cess. All patronage is always APP
preciated by them.

BUFFALO BILLS FINE FARM.
1t is Under Irrigation and the Crop Pros
poets Are Excellent.


NORTH PLATTE, Neb.. July 13.-(Special)
One of the finest improved farms of west
ern Nebraska belongs to Colonel William F.
Cody. 1t lies one and one-half miles north
west of this city, along the south bank of the
North Platte river including nearly 1000
acres Of land. OF this 1900 acres is now
being tended in corn. A Bee correspondent
called upon Managing Farmer Goodman re-
Gently to get some facts and figures regarding
irrigated farming, and was surprised to see
the immense amount of crops now being
grown on a single farm. Two thousand acres
are being farmed this season One hundred
acres Of alfalfa in bloom presents, perhaps,
the most striking appearance to be seen.
This Is now being harvested. Next year the
acreage Of alfalfa will be increased ten fold,
as Farmer Goodman regards 1t the most
profitable crop that can be raised Fifty
acres OF broomcorn, large field OF cane
which Is being raised for feed, an ordinary
farm which has been converted into single
oatfield, and an extensive meadow completes
the list OF farm crops. About thirty men are
now employed on this ranch, working eighty
| horses, and at certain seasons the number
Of men employed reaches fifty and sixty.
Until the past year this has been more
| properly stock ranch, and as such it was
originally planned by its owner. But the
decline in the profits Of horse raising changed
| the order OF things. 1t was not profitable
to farm without irrigation. and accordingly
| Colonel Cody associated with Isaac Dillon in
the building Of an irrigation canal to water il,
| Dillon owns an extensive farm east Of the
ranch. The canal was practically completed
| this spring, and is about twelve miles in
length and will irrigate about 5000 acres Of
| land. In one years time 1000 acres Of land
| on the Cody ranch has been broken and
| planted and fine crop is now growing. But
| little stock is now being fed on the place,
! the short crop OF feed for the past two years
making 1t necessary to dispose Of everything
| in the way of live stock not actually needed
for farm work The ranch will be again
| stocked this fall.
A great many curiosities collected during
| Colonel Codys remarkable career are to be
seen at the ranch. The place has been ap-
propriately named Scouts Rest" The
cabin occupied by Sitting Bull at the Worlds
fair stands in the park near the fine farm
residence, and two domesticated deer lie in
| the shade Of It and the trees. In kennel
near the park is to be seen a beautiful col
lection Of English hounds The two large
barns, with stalls for more than 200 horses
are stored with innumerable relics of by
gone scouting days. Strange as it may seem
Colonel Cody has never seen his ranch when
the trees were in leaf. His show business
| keeps him away during the summer.
