Every Farmer Should Read This.

We have received from the Farmers
Tribune, Sioux City, Iowa, a copy of
the front page design in yellow and
black. for the annual seed and nurs-
cry number which that we'll known
agricultural and live stock..weekly will
publish February 18th. This is truly
a work of art. The artist las very
effectively contrasted the results
from.-planting good and poor seed.
One part --of the design shows "a
field OF fully developed grain and its
complement, a we'll filled barn; the
other shows a field of grain which
has given a poor stand, and a half
filled barn as the result.
We are advised by the publishers
of the Farmers Tribune that their
annual seed and nursery number will
be a most creditable issue in every
respect. 1t will contain editorials,
and articles by we'll known authorities
which will deal with preparation of
lue .SOll, SeleCUlOu Ol SEED, cue.
Among the contributors will be
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture,
Prof w. M. Hays, probably the fore
most plant breeder in America. This
N issue will be worth several times
b e cost Of a years subscription to
every farmer in this and adjoining
counties.
In this connection we call attention
to the special announcement in this
issue in which we are Offering the

a bargain-price. Subscribe now and
you will be in time to get the big

NOT ALL IN THE COUNTRY
Easy Marks Found in the Cities Whe
Part With Their Money on
Easy Terms.

The superstition has always been
that the fellows from the country
towns and rural precincts--were the
ones who were the subjects for--the
sharks Of the big cities, and that
they could be baited to take hold
Of any kind of a proposition, where it
was evident that there was a long
string OF money attached to it. The
Chicago Chronicle, however, extends
the mantle OF charity on the short
comings of the purchasers OF gold
bricks from the country, and in the
following article makes a rich dis
play of the easy n in which
the wise man in the city is taken
into the tolls Of the sharks:
Is there any limit to the gullibility
OF men who pride themselves upon
their business %cuteness? Why should
the gold brick operator waste his
time in the rural districts when the
cities present A harvest ripe for the
sickle?

FOR PAVING MAIN STREET
The Proposition Has Received offici
al Recognition.From the City
Council.

The talk of paving Main street
from the Milwaukee to the Omaha
depot has been going on for several
years, and nothing has resulted any
more than the mere agitation of the
proposition. AT the meeting OF the
city council Monday evening, Alder
mar Wells made an interesting re-
port on his investigation of the inn
provement SO far as the way the
property wne felt about it. OF
course the expense of paving the
street in front of the property would
have to be borne by the owners of
the property, and the paving done
on the intersections of the streets
would have to pc paid for by the city,
this being a space about sc feet
square. Mr.. Wells stated that he per
sonally interviewed 115 lot owners
,On the street, and out of that entire
number he found but two men who
We're in the least opposed to the paw
ing. One owner in particular he
mentioned, and that person owns g
lots on the street, and he was as
heartily in favor of the Improvement
as the individual who owned but one
lot.
The report made by Mr.. Wells re
ceived the official recognition of the
council by authorizing the streets and
ALLEY committee, with the mayor in
'cluded, to make some investigations
along the line of cost and the best
material to use for paving the street.
This investigation will be made at
once and if it results in a favorable
consideration, it is the hope of the
council to get to work on the paving
of the street by the 1st of July.
The present condition of the street
offers a strong argument for the paw
ing of the main thoroughfare at least,
and with the mud from six to eight
inches deep, and then freezing over
night to become rough in the morn
ing is enough to convince most any
one of the necessity. The cleanli-
ness and neat appearance of the thor
oughfare speaks for itself and ii
could be pointed to with a matter OF
pride as the first installment of
broadening out to the residence dis
trict. With the unanimity of ex-
preston among the property owners
on Main street, who will bear the
greatest burden of expense, the citi-
zens of the city ought to be behind
the movement to a man.
