better Grades Demanded.

One Of the greatest evidences OF
progress in the live stock Industry, In
Nebraska, says the Omaha World-Her-
aid. is the increased demand for full
blood and pedigreed breeding stock. IT
would be difficult to find d district OF
country anywhere that has Invested
more money or introduced more or I'm
er bred animals into It's common herds
than has been done id Nebraska during
the past IL months. These conditions
OF live stock improvement and develop
ment indicate an increased value In the
young stock Of the state. which viii
make 1900 one OF the best seasons for
the breeder OF improved stock that has
ever been experienced In Nebraska.
The present discrimination I'D quality
at the great live stock markets has
taught o lesson to breeders and deal
ers which has turned the tide In favor
Of better grade OF animals.

The Chicago Tribune calls attention.
ito tie fact that the railroads and the
farmers of the western states are get
ting close together in interests, show.
ing that the prosperity of the roads is
dependent upon the prosperity OF the
agricultural classes in the west, and.
that what benefits the farmers benefits
the roads. The Tribune says:
The great work done by many rail-
roads OF recent years in fostering and
directly increasing the prosperity of
the territory through which the tracks
is by no means 30 widely known
S it should be. Several roads, for in
stance. employ scientific specialists
who are experts in the matter of soil,
drainage, fertilizing, and other factors
in modern agriculture. It is the duty
of these men to travel along the line
of the road which employs them, max
ing a careful study of the soil and other
natural conditions. If they find, for
instance, that the soil in a particular
section is best adaptea to the raising
of sugar beets they visit the farmers
in the neighborhood and invite them
to attend a lecture, held perhaps at the
district sehoolhouse. Here the sub
ject of beet culture is carefully ex-
planned, the natural advantages which
the surrounding territory possesses for
raising beetS is gone into, and on be-
half of tie railroad company the expert
urges the farmers to undertake the bus
mess, perhaps pledging the company
to find a market for the product. IL a
certain district is best fitted for the
dairy business the expert holds a SINH
lar farmers and endeavors to interest
the farmers in the establishment of a
cooperative creamery. In some in
stances the railroad furnishes, free of
charge, the services of IN expert to sup
erintend the building of the creamery
and to manage 1T for the first month,
or until a regular manager an be Sc
cured. In many other similar ways
the railroads are now doing their part
In putting agriculture on a scientific
d basis.
That the work has passed far beyond
the status of an experiment is shown
by the fact that one railroad in Mis-
souri, has established no less than ff-
teen cooperative creameries along its
lines, in not one of which does the rail-
road company have any other interest
than in the additional revenues thus
secured for its freight department. In
each case, it also should be stated, the
railroad also guarantees a market for
the product of these new enterprises.
This it is aDle to do by the aid Of its
agents in the large cities.
But the railroads in their new work
do not stop with the farmer. A single
instance may suffice to show how they
also are lending aid and comfort to the
manufacturers along their lines. The
commercial agent of a western road
went to the proprietor of a flour mil
in a small town and asked him how
many barrels of -four he was making
daily. He was told that the outpu,
every t~wenty-fonr aours was fifty bar.
