sheep Dipping Plant.

The dipping plant was erected in con-
formity with the requirements of the
United States Department Of Agriculture
and is complete IN every detail and in
charge Of men skilled in the business, At
a nominal cost the feeder may have his
purchase made secure from disease and
the success Of this has been verified by
the large increase in inquiry at this point
from all over the corn belt for feeding
stock, and from the large number of sheep
Of this description shipped in from the
ranges of the west.
The town Of South Omaha has practically
been called into existence by the live stock
market. The former wilderness has been
transformed in a few short years into a
city Of well paved streets, Creditable bust
ness houses and residence blocks and the
city has grown and spread over the sur
rounding territory which the original plat
ters Of the city never dreamed would be
used for aught but farm lands. South
Omaha has become a city Of 5000 people
and has become such a city that the mar
ket is more often referred to as the South
Omaha market. Most Of the inhabitants Of
this thriving city are dependent upon the
packing industry for their daily bread and
well does the chief industry provide for
the wants Of the inhabitants Of South
Omaha. The banks show a strong line Of
deposits. real estate shows healthy prices
and the whole city teens with life.

the prices paid are equal to those OF the
eastern and southern markets. Several
combination breeders sales have been held
and will continue to be held from time to
time, as all have been very successful.
South Omaha has several horse commits

given a lifelong study to the business,

Clinton Tells Experience.

GRANGER, Neb., Tune IS. 1905. -
After experimenting thoroughly for the last
seven years in progression in agriculture
and live stock breeding I have come to the
conclusion that both are well worth while
and l think my Uniform success has war
ranted by present position. Receiving my
first impetus from my son who studied at
the Nebraska School of Agriculture have
given up my old notions and work on new
lines. p
zone Of the first things l learned was
that l was raising hogs that were too
heavy. too flanky and too thin in the back
10 suit the packers. Another was that my
cattle had not been fed scientifically so as
TO put them in the best condition at the
least cost. Further l found that l had been
leaving the markets to my local shipper
entirely and had been feeding on a blind
luck basis and knew nothing Of the require
ments OF the various seasons OF the year,
and the kind of stock which would top the
market at the particular time.
My son called my attention to these
things and urged me to get in touch with
the needs of the market and the changed
demands in trade. This was the first time
! had ever heard OF export beef; and what
Slass of steers would be selected for that
trade. My son told Of a visit to the South
Omaha packing center and Of the valuable
Insight which II gave him of the great live
stock industry from the viewpoint of the
packer and the commission man.

ceiving for the steers which they have
been fattening. South Omaha had the dis
%tinction of offering the best prices Of any
western market, and this is often the cas-.
The top price for cattle for some time was
received a week ago by james II. Hughes
OF Fairbury. who sold 1l head for s.
straight and twenty head of the same ship
ment for $3.50. ......
The 49, head weighed 1,e09, and the other
twenty, 1880. Tn bunch Of big ones
weighed all told 2lO,T7O pounds, and they
brought Sl6,S62.32. The other twenty
weighed $1,000 pounds and yielded ~$2,9S2.S9.
The total for the trainload was $40, 1912.
Mr.. Hughes bought the cattle through the
same firm last fall when their average
weight was 1850 pounds and paid "a. They
cost him $6,3i2.
O. b. Clinton of Grand Island has been
a stock raiser for many years in Nebraska,
but had never visited the yards until last
year, relying upon the commission men to
make his sales for him. In a letter to rela-
tives in the east he sets forth in an inter
esting manner the advantages Of care in
feeding stock and also his experience on his
first visit to the stock yards.
