eenly and all the help needed will be en-
ployed. In connection with this work there
are the Lincoln yards. which recently came
into the possession Of Mr.. Kenyon. These
yards will be used for feeding purposes
principally. and after g rest and q feed
stock will be sent on TO this market in
fine condition.
Reports show that the north and north
west is filled with good cattle suitable for
market and the chances are that good prices
will be paid when the range cattle arrive.
The recent rains over Nebraska and wyo-
ming have started the grass in good shape
and reports from all the west indicate
that the ranges and pastures are in the
best Of conditions.
