cars of hogs last year off his raising

and has as fine a drove now as one
will see in any country. While Mr.
Soid'er believes in the raising of i-tock
and thinks this is a Mock country, he
is farming nuite extensively, having
140 acres of winter wheat and 100
acres of corn, besides rye and other
mall grain, as well as ninety acres of
alfalfa. ,

C E. Heath, who has livel here thirty-two
yearn and own SOO acres of
leeded land ami C40 of rchool lanl.
Mr. Heath wax out farming about a
mile from the houee, hut while there
we noticed that he had something
iew or at least new to us. It was 1
cement house with a cement roof. Mr Keegan came to. this county
We. have een cement houses, yes; but fourtn year ago from Kansas am
cement roofs, no; and we were curious I at that timc ths people wno wcre here
to kno how it was put on, so we thought that on wna wasting his tim'

breeding: of thoroughbred swine for a
number of year. We think that the
production of pure bred Mock cannot
be urged too strongly. It costs i
more to produce a good animal than
a scrub. We will have more to say on
this Bubject at pome other time.
Whnn v cal'ed on Mr. Seidler he
and two of his boys were working on
t new place he is building up. He
bought a good new house in Antioch
ind had it moved over; in fact, bought
three buildings and moved them all
over, a distance of about eighteen
miles.
It looked to us like that pome young
lady might be going to change her
name and address and live happy ever
after.
was an old one fixed over hut one
would not know it from the outside.
He told us that the roof, put on as
it was, did not cost as much as a new
fhingle roof would have, and that it
,wnn put on over the old Khinglps by
iiutting on metal lath on top of them,
t makes a vry fine appearance ami
is indestructible. He was farming
with three four-horse teams and was
taking th lead himself. We afked
him in what line of farming he had
leen the most successful and he
thought that mixed farming paid the
west corn, rye and hogs and cattle
and he did plant some potatoes but
thought it was a little far out to haul
puds, for he is thirteen miles out.
W. Nye lives n'gh unto Henth, xo
we wandereu there to see wnut we
could find and we found Mr. Nye on
a disk working hard, but he kindly
took the time to tell us what we
wanted to know. He came to this
country thirty-four years ago with a
wagon and team, a wife and three
umall children and thirty-five cents
in money. He said he probably would
liave gone back to the wife's folks or
nome other place if he could have
frone, could not, so stayed by it
mid today he Is Independent. He owns
WO acres of land and 8 lot of good
tock. He Is living on th homestead
that he took up thirty-four year figo.
He also believes in mixed farming.
f .0ur next stop was to see Frank
"Trcnkle. We found Frank rather un
der the weather, but able to talk to
us. He also I 6ne' of the old-timers

lie la a believer in mixed farming.
I
Just down the road from Frank's is
the home of E. Morgan, who has re
cently moved in here from the catMe
country to try his luck farming, but
thinks he likes the cattle better than
the plow. He is planting thirty-five
acres of spuds and fifty of corn and
thinks thut the spud is the best crop
for a money-maker.
After leaving Mr. Morgan's, we
wandered around through gutes and
pastures and came to the home of
.Adolph Brost, who came to this coun
try twenty-one year, ago and now
wns neven quarters of land for which
he paid from $200 to $300 per quarter
and now it Is worth about $.r0 per
acre. He Is another advocate of
mixed farming. .
any Kind. lie says they formerly pur
vorlzed the ground too earlv and sower
too much grain per acre, Mr. Keegar
has roi.-ed a4 much as seventy bushel'
of oats per acre and twenty-sovcr
bushels of wheat. He also raises flnr
strawlerrles of tho Everbearing kiw'
nnd says that anyone who wants t
can have berries all summer by r
little work. Hefore we saw aU of thf
Mock and asked all the questions we
were Invited to stay for dinner, for
which we were truly thankful, for Mrs.
Keegan is some cook and we surely did
justice to a good dinner.
Just nrross the road from Mr. Koe
gan's is the home of Frank Hong, who
came to this county from Hamilton
county, the home of the writer. Frank
has been here only two years but like
the country fine and says that he car
m:ike more here farming than he car
In Hamilton with same investment. He
follows the same style of farming here
that he did in the east corn, wheat
and hogs but, of course, he has to
olant the spud to be in fashion and
says that it pays to be In the fashion.
A. E. Rogers' was the next place on
our list, and we had a very nice visit
with him. He also is a newcomer
here as he came from Otoe two yean
ago, sold out there, for $l5 per acre
and paid $04 here and thinks one car
make as much here per acre as he car
in Otoe. For the firet year here he
made $100 per acre off his potatoes
above the seed and it takes a pretty
(rood farm in the east to show thtt
profit.
Our fust Mop on Monday morning
vas at the home of A. L. Wilson, who
uns a very neat and up-to-date dairy
i mile west of town. He is milking
'welve cows at the present time and
informs us that he has an accredited
'ierd, being tested by the state every
ix months. He has a fine herd of
'at and contented cows and is selling
his milk to-many customers in town.
Mr. Wilson has two good silos and
thinks that they are the best thing to
prepare feed for dairy cows. He has
been here thirteen -years and thinks
;bis county is hard to beat.
Two miles west of town is the home
.if C. Nepper, who came to this county
eleven years afro from Carroll county,
Iowa. While Mr. Nepper his done
very well here, he Mill thinks that
Iowa is hurd to beat Chris has 115
icres of the finest wheat we have seen
and is planting 100 acres of corn End,
following out the Idea of mixed farm
ing, he is also planting twenty acres
of potatoes. He tells us that he was
hailed completely out last year. Let
us hope that it does not happen again.
(Continued on Page 6.)
From Rogers' we drove to the Wil
liam Ackerman farm and had a nice
visit with the boys who were busy
getting their seed com ready foi
planting. They are also new to this
country, coming from Nance county
two years ago. They own four hun
dred and eighty acres here and one
hundred and Rixty in Nance county and
think they cun make more here than in
Nance on the same capital, which
speaks well for this county, for
r- Is one of the good counties in
the Mate, i
Our next Mop was ut the home of
Ferninand Seidler. Mr. Seidler is one
of the fust settlers here as when he
came he had to walk from Valentine,
as that was the end of the road. He
came in the spring of 1885 and filed
on his land and then he went back
and worked on the railroad, which was
building from Valentine this way. One

Thursday, May 6, we started out on
our trip of exploration by visiting at
the home of A. L. Donovan, just east
of the fair frounds on the north side
of Third Mreet. Mr. Donovan is an old
settler, having lived here ever since
the city was founded. He knew the
country before there was any farming
done and is now engaged in larming
and la a strong advocate of the ;otato
crop, as he cays that potatoes will
grow under more adverse weather con
ditions than any other crop that he
knows anything about, but he also ad
vises not to try one crop, but advo
cates mixed farming. He is farming
one hundred and sixty acres and 'has
Wghty of it in spud. When atked what
in his opinion was on average crop of
potatoes, he said that one hundred
, -
4 I T.. Si'liwusincer was the next man
Interviewed. They have lcen here
' three years and have made good at the
farming game. He believes in mixed
farming but plants more potatoes than
any other crop. In 1!20 he had fifty
three ucres of potatoes and harvested
seven thousand five hundred bushels
and sold the most of them at one dol
lar per, which is not half bad.
Just down the road from Schwasing-
r ' is the farm of H. KoeMer, who
came to this county from Seward
county three years ago and purchased
three hundred acres of land and is
well satisfied with his change. He
is planting eighty acres of potatoes
and is farming extensively of other
' crops. We had a very pleasant visit
with him and we hope (to have an
opportunity to repeat it. j
From Koester's to Keegan's is only
a short distance, so we coaMed down
lo the farm home of J. A. Keegan,
who also owns a fine town residence
which they occupy part of the time,
but as their children are all married
and gone they have to tee after the
farming operations. Here we found
the first herd of registered Durham
cattle we have eeen in this county tn
far. Mr. Keegan has a nice herd of
cattle and Mrs. Keegan has a very fine
flock of Buff Orpington chickens. It
might not be out of place right here
to express our own opinion as to the
breeding of pure bred stock of all
kinds, as we have been engaged in the
