Opportunities In Nebraska For tt
"" Sheep Breeder. 4
HON. NJ. =. GREELEY.


The secret of successful sheep
raising is following nature and
her ways as closely as one can;
coarse feed, plenty of exercise,
pure air, comfortable and clean
quarters and quiet, peaceful
is what sheep demand if the best
results are to be obtained. Me-
braska is surely an ideal sheep
country-dry under foot, clear,
sunny days, mild winters and a
wealth of well-grassed pastures.
For the average stockman a
blocky, solid, fairly hardy mutton
sheep seems most desirable. Or
mary range ewes crossed was a
b1ack-faced mutton variety is
found very satisfactory. Much
depends upon the sire. He should
be strong and vigorous, deep
chested and of low, blocky
build. Lambs from such stock
will be healthy and eaf1y matur-
ing. .iH
Variety of feed Is necessary,
A good pasture of bluegrass,
prairie, or, better still, alfalfa;
oats in the bundle and corn in the
shock. This is far more desirable
than ground grain; it is cheaper,
easier to handle and if fed as it
should be, out of doors in large
feeding lots, will do much toward
keeping the flock healthy as well
as busy. Water, clean, pure and
plentiful, is decided necessity
and salt should be kept where
the sheep can get at it readily
whenever they care to.
Exercise is of the most import
ance, particularly for breeding
ewes, and sheep should be allow
ed outdoor exercise and feeding
on all but the bitterest of winter
days.
1t seems indeed a pity that the
Nebraska farmer shall continue
to allow lambs from the far west
ern ranges to pass by their very
barnyards on the way to inors
Eastern places where they are
finished for the block on the corn
shipped from these same Nebras-
ka farms. Contrary to the adopt
ed idea, it is not necessary to turn
the farm into sheep pasture in
order to finish a few hundred
lambs; it is, in fact, the surest,
best paying and most satisfact-.
DRY way of disposing of the corn
and coarse fodder which the farm
has produced. A movable fence
for twenty to forty acres, which
can easily be changed by two men
in one day, will solve the problem
of fencing. Rape planted with
corn and grains will yield abund-
ant pasture from the time the
grain is cut in the fall until the
coming of heavy frosts. Dwarf
Essex is the only variety advised.
Spring pasturing of winter rye
and wheat will greatly improve
the grain and is the ideal place
for lambs to come in the spring.
Alfalfa is, of course, the most de-
sirable of all pastures, where
bloating can be guarded against.
AS sheep make good use of all the
weeds and waste on farm when
the farm is once ready for them,
they require less labor than al
most any other kind of stock, be-
sides adding quality to the ferti-
lity of the land on which they
run, A small flock of sheep can
often be kept on a farm and add
to rather than detract from the
amount of grain possible to grow
there.

"No saloon in the town for
two years past, and no license
this year" is the language used
by Broken Bow land circular,
as an inducemcnt to people to
come 10 that country to buy
homes. And it is good in
ducement. But did you ever
hear of town that had saloons,
advertising them as reasons why
people should come to a town to
buy homes? Not in any case.
When a town is without saloons
people are proud of it, and talk
about it, and when a town is
crowded with them the people
seem to be ashamed of them, and
act as though they were willing
for strangers to find the fact out
themselves. York Republican.

MOFFATT'S BAL LUCK.
His Lame Shoulder Costs Him n Fight
with Stift-TwO Small Draws.

CHICAGO, Feb. T.-An exact repetition
of the accident that lost Jack Moffatt two
fights with George Gardner brought defeat
again 10 Moffatt tonight at the America
Club. in a contest with Billy Stiff. Wear
ing an elastic bandage on the left shoulder
that had been dislocated IN two similar
occasions. Moffatt tonight landed some
telling blows with his left without eX-
periencing any i'll effects. and apparently
had the fight well in hand. He had taken
things easy in the first round and con-
tented himself with countering and dancing
out of the way of Stift's wild swings. In the
second MOffatt began TO use his left a lit
tie and manage TO reach Stiff without any
ditt1culty, scoring a big lead on the round.
Thinking that his shoulder had fully re-
covered from the two former mishaps, Moi
fatt started the third round in earnest. He
chased his opponent all over the ring and
was administering a severe drubbing when
In an effort TO land a knockout he started
a left for Stift's jaw. The blow, sent with
terrific force. landed on Stift's head instead.
instantly Moffatt's left arm dropped limp
TO his side. The referee stopped the fight
and Stiff was awarded the decision.
kid" Goodman. of Boston, and AL Eel
lows, of Chicago, fought six fast rounds to
a draw. Fellows had a slight shade the
better of the contest during the first three
rounds, but in the last three Goodman
used a straight left in connection with a
right cross 10 such good advantage that
Fellows had all he could do to last the
limit. The decision was very unsatisfac-
tory.
Mike Schreck. of Cincinnati, and Hugo
Kelly, Of Chicago, also went six rounds to
a draw.

Office. The discussion related principally
10 the collection and publication by the
director of the census Of statistics respect
ing the production Of cotton Mr. Allison
vigorously opposed the provision. maintain
ing that the cotton statistics gathered by
the Department OF Agriculture were COM
plete and accurate, and that no necessity
existed for their duplication. Despite his
opposition the provision was inserted in the
bill.
During the debate Mr.. Culbersou said
that in November last the Agricultural
Department issued an estimate Of the cot
ton production OF such a nature that the
price OF cotton rose Immediately g a bale.
He thought that Indicated a lack OF accu-
rate Information previous TO that time.
Mr.. Allison replied that the reports is
sued by private concerns had the
cotton crop last year as much greater than
ii proved TO be. Those reports had tended
10 keep prices down. he pointed out, how
ever, that the Agricultural Department
was first TO give 10 the public accurate in
formation concerning the production. Mr..
Allison maintained that if the producers
of cotton had depended pom the figures OF
the crop reported by the Agricultural De-
partment they would not have been led
into disposing of their cotton for a lower
figure than it actually was worth.
Mr.. Bacon inquired of Mr.. Allison wheth-
CT he, representing a corn State. realized
more fully the Importance of the proposed
amendment 10 the cotton producers than
all the senators from the cotton States.
Mr.. Allison replied that ne. might be re-
garded as in the position OF the juryman
opposed TO his eleven associates, but that
he would be satisfied whatever the result
might be. After further debate the bill,
as amended, was passed.
Several other bills OF Importance on the
calendar were passed. as follows: To pro-
mote the efficiency Of the revenue cutter
service, the principal feature Of the meas
ure being provisions for the retirement Of
revenue cutter officers; authorizing the
secretary of the navy TO give to Harvard
University certain colors, a silver cup and
a NOrdenfeldt gun; providing for the ap-
pOintment of w. II. wi as an as
sistant engineer OF the navy on the re-
tired list; authorizing the secretary Of the
navy to appoint George II. Paul a warrant
machinist in the navy; providing for the
retirement of petty officers and enlisted
men of the navy; TO provide for the extern
sion OF the charters Of national banks. Mr..
AIdrich, chairman of the finance commit
tee, explaining that the measure extended
no new privileges to national banks. but
simply enabled those whose charters were
about TO expire to renew them; authoriz-
ing the COMMISSIONS of internal revenue to
return bank checks, drafts. certificates of
deposits and orders for the payment of
money having imprinted stamps thereon
to the owners thereof; to place Henry
Biederbick, ]. r. Frederick, Francis Long
and Maurice Cornell, survivors of the Lady

WON BY c. $. NORRIS.


NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE amateur bill
lard Glass A championship Of the A. A. U.
tournament, which has been in progress
during the last two weeks at the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club, was won tonight by
Charles S. Norris, of the K. A. c., who
formerly was champion of the Chicago Ath-
letic Association. His opponent was Will
lam H. Sigourney, Of San Francisco, the
champion Of the Pacific coast, and while
the game was a long one. it never lacked
interest from start to finish. At one time
behind, but he closed up the game with
some wonderful all-around billiards, and at
the finish was only beaten by twenty-three
points. Norris played a splendid game,
and his nursing at times was equal to the
best exhibitions ever given in this vicinity
by professionals. SigOurney also was the
recipient of many plaudits for some beauti-
full work in his manipulation of the worries.
Norris's win entities him to first place in
ond honors, the other places being de-
cided by the result of last weeks games.
Next Wednesday night Norris will meet
Wilson p. Eoss in a challenge game for
the emblem and title of the national anna
teur billiard champion of America. Mr..
Foss has only to successfully defend the
championship trophy this year TO have a
clean claim TO il. and. judging from the
work of the victor tonight, it is not likely

BY the steamer Gold cases of eggs are

dealers and the empty cases returned TO
Petaluma for 20 cents per case. This Is less
than the carriage would be from the ferry
TO the buyer in San Francisco. The dealers
ain is TO make one-half 10 one cent per
dozen on eggs shipped. The producer gets
the balance. Eggs marked "Petaluma

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE resolution
Of Representative Dick, OF Ohio, providing
for an investigation of the charges of the
disfrancbisement of the negro In the South,
was unanimously adopted at the conference
of House Republicans tonight, as was
generally expected. General Dick probably
will be chairman of the committee, the re-
port Of which body to Congress will form
a base of the most important political leg
islation of Congress. There was no Opposi-
ton when General Dick offered his mo-
ton TO amend the Crumpacker resolution.
through whose efforts the first caucus was
called. After the caucus tonight Repre-
sentative Dick said that while Congress
had constitutional power to act respecting
Southern Acknowledgement, that power
ought not TO be exercised arbitrarily but
judicially. In so important and so far
reaching a matter, he argued, the wiser
course would be first TO establish the facts,
which can be done only with thorough in
vestigatiOn. while we all read and be-
lieve certain conditions exist in the South
ern States" he said, this House has no
official information with reference to the
allegations of notification of certain pro-
visions of the federal Constitution. We
already have gone too far TO do less than
make a judicial investigation. Such an in
vestigation, with the accompanying publica-
ton of it's findings. will educate the public
sentiment and sustain US in what it may be
desirable or advisable TO do afterward.
The element of fairness, also, is an argu-
ment in favor of investigation, because in
this manner the Republican majority will
not be proceeding on a mere assumption
