Japan was openly making; The avail

The Cowboy Ate Mutton chops.

A Feed Fit for the GodS-A wholly
impression exists back east,
created. no doubt, by the writings Of
amateur and inexpert ]fictionists who
do not know the country that the vest
ern sheepman is a spiritless and SUBJ
dued, not to say a cowardly sort of an
individual. We never yet met up with
Il sheepman who would crawfish in the

kind of q game was framed up on him.
During the bitter war between The
Wyoming cattlelnen and sheepmen a
few years ago a scene was pulled off
IN a little restaurant in Lander one
afternoon when 4 ~mild-looking Sheep
man named Woodruff walked in and
took a seat at a table. :.
:Bring me a broiled mutton chop"
said Woodruff to the waiter. A big
booted and spurred cowboy, who was

A SUCCESS IN NEBRASKA.
Money Pours Into the Pocket of the
Farmer Who Pays Attention to

His Cows.
Nebraska is rapidly coming to the
front as a dairy state. In 1903 there
were 646.475 mich COWS in the state
producing dairy products to the value
of $2l,3S9,543. We quote from the
Union Pacific Railroad Agricultural
Bulletins:
I'm no branch of agricultural in
dustry has the progress of Nebraska
been more marked than in the produce
tion of dairy products. The compara-
lively recent time at which her people
began 10 make serious attempts in
dairying makes this progress all the
more astonishing. Prior to 1878 there
was probably not one herd of dairy
cattle in the state and no systematic
method of dairying employed within it's
borders. In 1881 the first can
was built. and from that time on the
development of the industry has been
remarkably rapid. AT the American
dairy show held in Chicago In Novem-
ed five first and four second premiums,
and at the worlds fair in Chicago in
1893, Nebraska butter showed up quite
as we'll as that of any of the older
dairy states, securing the highest score
of any state for October butter. Dur
dairymen Of Nebraska were not dis
turbed or distressed as were other
business men. for the dairy COW reg
ularly contributed her daily por-
ton; and during the excessive dry
years of 1894 n 1895 she was often
the farmers chief source Of income.
In western Nebraska especially, the
larry Industry is of great Importance.
1t may be said that the entire living
expenses of families in western Me-
hraska can be met by the products of
the COWS and by those Of poultry.
1t. is stated that in Dundy, Chase,
Keith, Grant and Lincoln Counties,
farmers months checks for butter fat
sold to the creameries amount to 500
Il piece.
Business men now realize the fact
that the communities that have sue
cessful c~realneries in operation are the
prosperous ones. Large central cream

have taught the Nebra ska farmer that
he can sell his milk and have ready
money in his pocket at all seasons Of

a. E. DAVIDSON, of the school OF agri-
university of Nebraska, Lin

Last year there were over twenty
