1 .1 I 1 ui stocK rinsing, as is suown ay tho re port of the agricultural society. In hogs Sumner stands way ahead of any other county, and in the number of cattle is exceeded by only Gi-eenwood county and in this only by about 3,000 head and in the value of cattle sold and slaughtered, Sumner beats Greenwood about $100,000. The especial adaptability of Sumner county for both cattle and hog raising is now a fully settled matter. The climate the season, the excellent water, the short winters, the excellent pasturage, the fa cility with which cattle and hogs can be bred, the excellent market, all combine to put Sumner county in the very first rank in the stock producing business. Last spring we published in the Quid-Nunc some comparative statistics relative to tho profit of feeding cattle in Sumner county and some of the sec tions in tne east wnere this business is especially followed.

This statement was so forcible that we re-produce it from the Quid-Nunc of April 23d. "Hon. Hannibal Smith, who is one of our most reliable and responsible citi zens, states to us that last winter he ted 65 two and three year old steere. They were fed five months and ten ('ays. They were not sneltcred, but wintered on the open prairie.

At tho time he commenc ed feeding these steers they averaged 897 pounds. When sold their average weight was 1313, having made a net av erage gain in five months of 42Gpounds, He sold them at 4.30 per cwt. Among the lot was a Polled Angus steer two years old which weighed 1,300, These cattle had the advantage of Sum ner county climate, and as they hod hardly a drop of rain on them all win ter, but mild equable weather, they did weii ana gained nesn irom the start on twenty-five cent corn. Mr. Smith at the same time had letters from Kentucky which is a state noted as one of the very best stock raising states in the Union- A friend there fed about the same number of cattle the past winter.

They were cared for with the usual attention given stock by the experienced and practioal feeders of the Bluegrass state. They were fed with 50 cent corn, which was cheap at that price considering tho expense of raising in that section. The Kentucky cattle ow ing to the rigor of the winter, gained only an average of 57 pounds and were Bold at $4.22. As the manufacturing of the corn raised in both sections into an in sreaseu vaiue was ine main object in feedinu. tho Kansas feeder got moro than double the price for his corn crop than the Kentucky feeder, and his crop was raised at a less cost, taking into ac count the present valuo of farm land in the places and the expense of producing, Now what more forcible argument can be presented to any practical man of the immense advantages offered in Sumner county over any of tho older sections for profitable and easy making of money in any of the regular branches of farm ing.

The same results will be accomplished year oner year ana the comparisons will result the same, whether the seasons have been propitious or unlucky. Corn for feeding cattle in all the eastern states will lie enormously high tho present sea son, while here it is now readily selling at from 30 to 40 centfl. The pastures in most of the great cattle growing sec tions east of us are burned out this year, and cattle will enter upon the winter in poor condition. While in Sum ner county, the fall grazing is in splen did condition and will hold on till very late and cattle will be in good state for feeding. Eastern raisers have been obliged, on account of the drouth to crowd into market everything that could possibly be Bold, and will tip short of cattle to feed and have nune to push on the mar ket next season when the scarcity will make the prices high and remunerative In Sumner county there are lots of good cattle, and feeders will haye lots of fat oattle to bring them good returns next spring.

Tho facts are Sumner county Is the Eldorado of the whole country. We hove here everything combined to favor any branch of agriculture, and the farmers of the east, who work and toil year after year to make expenses off of hi(h priced lands can get rich here off of low priced lands and with one half the labor.

NKW PIIOTOUKAPJI OALLEUY Over Phillips House, J. 0. KIMSEY, PROPRIETOR. 'hotographs In Every Style, Satlsfuo- tlori guaranteed, good many persimmons to this goodly citv. For the nnst six months the Quid-Nunc has been endeavoring to show to the people of Wellington the profit which would Burely follow the judicious investment of money in the erection of proper class of residences, for which there is now and has been for a long time an urgent demand.

Tho argument of this paper are having due weight with capitalists. We spoke several days ago of the profitable investment made by Mr. Vansickler in this line. His success has been an incitant to others and yes terday our reporter learned of an in portant enterprise in this direction which has been entered into by another citizen, Mr. Romayne, who has purchas ed desirale real estate and will go right to work erecting twelve houses for rent ing purpose.

The houses will be of the better class just such as are now bo much in demand, But although the enterprise of this gen- tleman will add to the prosperity of the city and undoubtedly fill his own pock et with spondulicks, twelve houses, such as he has contracted for will be but droo in the bucket towards filling the demand which the rapidly growing pros perity of Wellington calls for. The in crease of population and of business has been very great the present year, but it will be more than quadrupled the coming year. Every indication now evi dences that the coming season will find Wellington booming ahead of all her competitors in every essential element of busiuess and greatness, Mr, Romayne's houses will all be en- gaged before they are under roof and there is no question that before the first of January fifty more houses of the the same character would find good ten ants ready and anxious to secure them It is very doubtful if just now there can be found any investment of capital which will lie so safe or bo profitable as just this work. Our attention was call ed to this matter last spring by a gentle man from Illinois an old acquiantance who came to Wellington with the inten tion of living here and investing. He hod plenty of capital and owns a large farm in the county a few miles from this pity He staid here with his family two months and then turned to Illinois for no other reason than because he could not find a home in the eity which answered his necessities.

There is no doubt there are others whose experience is the same. With the steady though rapid advance of real estate in this city these houses will always sell at a good profit on their cost and in many instances the filling them wjth good tenants will be equivalent to their sale, Thero is still room lor others to invest in the same way.

The usually correct Caldwell News probably unintentionally misrepresents Wellington in its statement about the cattle train that "all along the line ex cept at Wellingto the people were out in crowds to see them puss." The people of Wellington turned out in a big crowd to the depot to see their trains. It was expected the trains would stop here and that they would be along by 9 o'clock at least. But the crowd waited patiently In the hot sun till half past ten before the first socti on ar rived, which rushed through the city without stopping at all. As there was no certainty when the next section with the I'ultnan car would be here, and no aissuranco that it would stop when it lid come, the greater part of the large crowd had left the railroad by 12 o'clock when the last section arrived.
