gently during the favorable weather OF
spring.
AS a systematic catarrh remedy Peruna

OF the stomach or bowels with the same
certainty as catarrh of the head.

WINTER WHEAT IS FAVORED
Experiment Station Points Out Some Of the
Advantages Of the Drop,
MNNARD CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT
Receipts ~ the Lincoln PoStomce
show %GrhtifyinE Increase Conc
pared with same Months
Last Year.


LINCOLN, April 25-CSpecial)-Winter
wheat as a crop for Nebraska has enor-
nous possibilities. declares Associate d.
rector Lyon in a bulletin issued by the
Nebraska Experiment station. Not only
are the large yields Of this wheat such as
TO its culture to the farmers
Of the state, but the quality Of Nebraska
winter wheat gives it a high standing
among buyers and consumers.
The northern limit Of winter wheat pro
auction in the transmissouri region lies in
the state Of Nebraska, thus limiting the
output TO a portion only Of the arabic land
In the state. The spring wheat region pro-
trudinE south from the Dakotas overlaps
the winter wheat region TO some extent,
and thls winter wheat and spring wheat
are raised side by side.
The chief condition that discouraEes win
Is the dry, cold, winter weather. Spring
wheat suffers from a number of adverse
conditions, due mainly to its late ripening.
This habit increases the liability to injury
from chinch bug and grasshopper depreda-
lions; and especially 10 injury from dry, hot
weather.
The conditions Of climate that produce a
milling wheat Of superior excellence are
found in the region of country bordering
on the semi-arid. 1t is worthy Of note that
the great spring wheat producing region
borders on the semi-srid belt in the north,
while the region that is fast becoming the
center Of winter wheat production occupies
a similar position farther south. II is very
noticeable that the quality Of hardness in
wheat improves as its culture approaches
the semi-arid belt Its advantage over
spring wheat is evident in its larger yield.
when not winter killed, In its comparative
freedom from insect depredations and in
the protection it affords the soil during q
considerable portion Of the year. All these
considerat tons make II highly desirable TO
improve the winter wheat in hardness and
widely throughout the state and to increase
its productiveness.

Going TO ArEue Kennard Case.

Attorney General Prout left tonight for
Washington, D. c., where he will argue the
T. P. Kennard case before the United States
supreme court. This is the case in which
Mr.. Kennard is seeking to collect upwards
Of $4,000 from the state. He alleges the
money is due him for services rendered in
e~fecting a settlement Of a government land
transaction with the national authorities.
The suit has been pending in the courts
for several years. In the trial court Of
this county Mr.. Kennard was given a
judgment, but the supreme court decided
in favor Of the state, and the case was
taken TO the United States supreme court
about q year ago, on a writ of error.
The Nebraska State Psnitentiary has been
equipped with a water plant Of a capacity
sufficient for any emergency that may arise.
The work was done under contract by Jo-
seph Burns and the total cost Of the wells
and machinery, with other necessary ar
engagements. was SO, 500. The four new wells
put in for this plant have an average ca
pactty Of 400 barrels per hour, which is
greatly in excess Of the old system. In a
recent test the old wells were pumped com
pletely dry in twelve minutes.
Members OF the State Board Of Public
Lands and Buildings assert that the supply
OF the new plant will be more than sufH-
cient for fire protection and will give all
the water that is needed for domestic pur-
poses. The board inspected the work of
installation several days ago and was well
pleased with the results obtained.
