South Omaha Live Stock Market.
Special Report
So. Omaha. Neb.. Dec. 2s. 1911

So. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2S, 1910.
Cattle:--Last weeks run was
only fairly heavy. Prices advanced
the first half 25c but flattened out
Thursday and Friday, losing all the
gain. 1000 for days this week
have not been too many and prices
rule strong to a dime higher. No
choice cattle offered, bulk Of best
beef $50 to 600; few up to 6.25;
medium 500 to $50; good feeders
strong at AIS to 5.25; regardless
of weight; a few selected up to
$50; best cows $50 to 4.7O with an
occasional choice bunch at 500 to
5.25 medium grades $50 to 400
and Gamers 500 to 3.35; best veal
still 500 for top and bulk 600 to
7.50; stock calves 450 to 500.
Bulls little dull; best butcher bulls
4.25 to 4.50 and Bologna $40 to
S.65. Cattle requirements will be
light this week but moderate re-
ceipts like present will do much to
maintain prices.
Hogs:-Receipts 10000 for day
&c higher both Monday and Tues
day but &c to / 0c lower today, bulk
7.55 to 7S0, top 1856. With con-
tinued good weather and cheap corn
there is an inclination to hold and
feed which will result in heavier
hogs later. The market needs watch
ing and bad spell OF weather will
undoubtedly bring increased re-
ceipts and we believe lower prices.
Sheep: 5000 for 3
days with market strong to 10c high
er for Monday and Tuesday but
closing weak to 10c lower today.
Best lambs 600 to 6.25; few feed
er lambs, having had little grain
at SIS; fat light yearlings Ats to
$40; heavy yearlings 400 to 440;
wethers $50 to AIS and good ewes
$50 to 3.S5. Not many sheep will
be required this week and continued
light supplies will have beneficial
effect.

THE NEW YEAR.
A Few Things We Shouldn't Do
For the Next 385 Days.

Christmas has gone and the medi-
cal fraternity rejoice exceedingly
over the in-rush of business result
ing from over indulgence in the
festive mince pie and the holiday
turk, including, of course, all the
rich and toothsome trimmings that
go with those noble articles of food
1t was glorious Xmas, albeit n
quiet one, and those not suffering
from dyspepsia and whose consti-
tuition allowed them to partake of
holiday cheer without having to
break in upon the night rest of
the family physician had great
cause to be thankful But, we are
now facing a new year and 1t is up
to the bunch of us to state plainly
and without reserve what we intend
doing for the period 1911, even
though we don't do it. 1t Is so
thoroughly American for one to make
big bluff on good resolutions then
drop quietly by the wayside, wait
for next year and repeat the whole
business. And this has its advan-
tages, in some ways, because 1t
breaks the monotony, adds zest to
the game and, every twelve months
gives your deluded acquaintances
the impression that you are at last
going to brace up and do something.
There are, oh, so many things we
kshould do this coming year; then,
again, there are few things we
should not do. Here are a few of
them:
Don't linger too long over the
breakfast table, especially when you
are breakfasting only on a cup Of
hot water and n pinch of salt.
Don't allow your hogs to make
merry on other peoples property.
Your neighbor may be liberal
minded man, but the chances are
he draws the line at strange pigs
Don't envy the fellow with IA gal
Ion of whiskey; you are better off
than he is.
! Don't indulge in ham sandwiches
and custard pie Immediately after
eating hearty meal.
Don't threaten to shoot your
neighbors' chickens; you may be the
proprietor of a chicken factory your
self some day.
Don't tell people how superior
your eastern home town is to Brok-
en- Bow; they will wonder how you
ever had the courage to leave 1t.
Don't try to make friends with a
bull dog who has just been pre-
sented with a juicy bone,
Don't play marbles In the middle
of the street after a two-foot fall of
snow.
Don't swear when you crush your
finger with hammer; but repeat
the Declaration of Independence
backwards, take seven swallows OF
| water, then go TO the Dack yard ana
kick the dog until the hair disap-
pears If you have children, you
might work them in also.
Don't think you are the only
prune in the plumb cake when your
wife presents you with a bouncing
boy; there are several other child
rem in Nebraska.
Don't continually tell your wife
she is the handsomest woman II
town; she may try to convince
some other man that she really Is
Don't kick at your home paper
If something in it dosn't exactly
suit; the country editor has his
troubles, even though he IS bask
ing in the light of prosperity

We clip the following from the
Nebraska State Journal: Miss Pau
line Marley, of Linconl, and Trial
Buchanan, of Chicago, were married
at Memorial Chapel, Chicago, Sun
day Dec. II. Mr.. and Mrs. Buchanan
will make their home in Chicago,
Miss Marley has been student at
the State University"
Miss Marley will be remembered
by her many friends here and is the
charming and accomplished dangh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. p. H. Marley
who were among our pioneer citi-
zens, Mr. Marley being the organ
izer and president of The Mason
City Banging Co. Miss Pauline was
born and spent her early girlhood
days in Mason City but in recent
years she has been attending col
lege in the East, besides having
spent much time travelling abroad
with her parents, visiting many Euro
pean and Southern countries, and
also most every important point in
America. Mr.. Buchanan is young
man of sterling character occupying
on important and responsible posi-
tion with the G. B. & Q. Ry Co. in
Chicago.
In presenting the above article
clipped from the Mason City Trans
cript we feel that the old settlers
of Custer county will turn to the
past with us and remember rather
undeveloped young man coming in
to the county in the capacity of a
bank employe. This was something
like 25 years ago, at the time
his friends were rather concerned
as to whether or not he would be II
success in the business world. In
those days of struggles the young
man full of hope and courage and
unlimited confidence in the devel-
opment of Custer county pushed on
ward until today he bears the dis
tinction of being one of the most
successful business men in the state
is president of the Mason City Bank
ing Company and has business in
terests in other localities. p. H.

we'll known in a business and social
way with almost every citizen in
Custer county. A few people may
envy those who are successful in
life, the opportunity is open to all

over wheat grown continuously.
Dairying fits in verySwell with wheat
farming especially in localities so far
north that corn cannot be successfully
the flint varieties can be raised for
silage and fodder. The wheat follow
ing this corn will be freer from rust.
scab and weeds and will yield much
more. The cows will yield a good
profit for all the feed they consume.
and the work will be more evenly dis
tributed throughout the year.
When wheat is grown to be sold to
the -four mills the price will depend
directly upon the quality. To get the
best quality wheat should not be cut
until it is fully ripe. 1t should not be
allowed to stand too long after it is
ripe or it will shell out badly. Wheat
should be well shocked and capped
If not well capped the bran will be
come stained and cracked, injuring
the appearance and lowering the price
Stacking is more advisable than shock
thrashing since it means better quail
Ity and more fall blowing.
So much depends on the quality OF
the grain and the quality is so depend
ent on cultivation and harvesting thai
1t behooves him who is after satisfac-
tory results to make a close study OF
the situation. II does not pay to cult
vate wheat intelligently and harvest
it in a manner that makes all previous
care and labor of little avail.
