Our big brother is writing us about
the fine strings of black bass he and
others are taking on OUT old tramping
grounds in Ohio and trying to make us
homesick-aEd he's coming pretty near
doing it.
John Smith says that Pat Kaney has a
sure cure for lice on cattle. He gives
the critters a wash Of kerosene and then
lets chem run through a stubb.e fire.
At anyrate that was what killed the
lice--as we'll as the hair-on one of Pats
cows a day or so ago.
Col. j. II. King writes US that if it
doesn't rain he will come up this evening
with Miss Loie to attend the dancing
party-and to transact business OH the
side. We need rain aud need it badly
bat we hope to have the pleasure of sec
ing the Colonel first.

the weather was pleasant all through

for just 80 days-and that was a wfop

E. C.Smith, IL former young towns
man, fayors the GRAPHIC with one of
t his real estate folders plcturing the
beauties OF his home, Pacific Grove, Cal.

entertained by our friend Smith.

8 Bob Kneebs, the well known lorseman
o is back IN Sioux City at last, having ar
rived there Monday, after sixteen months
confinement in a German prison. Tho
n old fellow has been taught a prett,
e severe lesson, and it will be some time
before he or any of his sort campaigns
any more ringers on the German
S tracks. incidentally, Knoebs raised and
5 tracked the mare Vanity owned by Tho
GRAPHIC. We bought her, upon his
+ recommendation, a short time after SHE
: passed out of his hands.
a Last winter the GRAPHIC made the an
nouncement that the Standard Oil com
!, pany would make kinball a distribut.
ing point in the spring and construct a
r building and storage tank. S Il. Drake.
the western manager Of the company at
Sioux City, arrived with Supt. Cosgraye
= Of the Milwaukee, Wednesday night to
locate the building and let the contract
for the work. A small building and two
storage tanks, each Of 1900 gallon ca
{ pacity, are to be put up opposite the de
| pot across the track. The contract for
work was let tc Henry Herrlein.
y Did you ever notice that trees growing
y along the edge Of sidewalks are as a rule
thrifty and a dead one an exception !
Trees set out in such places generally
thrive while more than half of the Others
: must be replaced. The sidewalks keep
the ground underneath cool and moist
and in which the tender roots feed. II
L it were not so expensive a board cover
s ing over the ground around each tree
would almost guarantee its life. Mulch
will not take the place Of such protec-
ti"n. tits for the same reason tina:
\ grass always grows the highest around a
;, large rock.
d The prospects are that early spring
chickens will be exceedingly scarce.
POULTRY ralsers are having poor success
with getting their eggs Matched. Eggs
d placed in lncnbdtors hatch we'll, Willie
. those placed under hens do not.-Si0u1
= City Jourral.
' Something queer about this, but every
> few years it so happens. The wli.er has
had two broods come off and though the
$ eggs We're all fertils more than half the
chicks died in the shell a few days before
the time was mp. We never experienced
tho same difficulty before, but it is com
mon some springs. and no chicken
: %fancler has been able to discover the
| cause or remedy.
