W. L. Hawkins, who lives just north
of r. Mundt, was another one we

the garden but he was willing to rent
awhile and talk politics and fuch. He
came here from Oklahoma ten years
go and owns two hundred and thirty
ve acres of land just south of Berea
and is farming sixty acres to rye and
" twenty to spuds, and says that spuds
are the surest crop, but don't forget
the cows and chickens, as they can
be depended on at all times.
' Samuel Mundt, who lives just east
f Berea, is another brother of Wil
liam, making four of the Mundt broth
ers who are getting The Herald. Sam
came from I'helps county ten years
ago and says he Would not go bacK
to farm where they have hot and dry
weather under n consideration. Mr.
Mundt is running a section besides his
wn land but mostly in pasture. He
has eighty acres of wheat, thirty-five
f corn and forty-five of potatoes, pv.d
along with all this he is milking thir
teen cows ami kbvb thut the milk cow

how he liked this county as compared
with where he came from, he gave the
same old answer that he would not
go back to Hamilton county to farm.
Now, the next time we talk with a
man from Hamilton county we will
leave that question out, for it does
not liften good to us. Roy has only
been here two years, but thinks this a
great country. He is planting fifty
acres to corn, twenty to wheat, twenty-five
to oats and thirty-five to potatoes.
convenience of the operator. Mrs. Beal
has seven registered Holsteins and the
balance are high grade. They are
for the comfort of the cows and the
milking seventen cows at the present
time and they are making about $350
per month. We found the barn and
the milk houe and everything per
taining to the busines sas clean as a
Dutch kitchen. They call it the sani
tary dairy and we thing it justifies its
name. Mrs. Beal tells us that she owns
one hundred and sixty acres and is
renting one hundred and sixty and
raises all the feed for a herd of about
thirty head of cattle. They are start
ing a herd of registered Hampshire
hogs and have some very good ones at
the present time. Mrs. Beal has one
hundred acres of alfalfa and two silos,
fourteen by thirty feet, so she Is pretty
well fixed for feed.

A!f ng about the noon hour we came
to the nice home of the Stenberg
brothers and found the boys at home
and busy, but after talking With them
a litt'e while we became so v'fill ac
quainted that we talked most every
thing tut paper, for the boys ere
raising fome mighty crOdu ftogs ami
some fine chickens and Shorthorn
cattle. The aim of the boys Is to have
the best there is to be had in the milk
ing strain of Shorthorns, the best
Hampshire hogs and Barred Rock
chickens. We looked the hogs over
and we will say that the boys have
some very good hogs about as good
as one can find any place. They are
good farmers and they are rotating
the crops, as they do in the east, put
ting half the land to corn and spuds
and the other to oats, wheat and other
crops, then change it f ach year. We
noticeu eigmeen acres or aiiaiia mat
was fenced hoir tiarht that looked eood
to us, as we think that there is noth
ing quite so good for hogs a3 alfalfa.
The boys are trying an experiment of
sowing sweet clover for pasture. They
have planted twenty acres to try out
and we guess it will be a success. The
boys are farming one hundred acres to
wheat, sixty to oats, seventy to corn
and thirty to potatoes. They came
from Lancaster county three years ago
and would not go back again.
We could not stay at one place all
day, so we started east from the Sten
bertr nlaee with the intention at spptnt
John Nielsen and we did see him, but
we had to leave Lizzie in the mud and
go and get John to help us out and he
kindly did so and fixed things up for
us so we could go on our way without
trouble. Mr. Nielsen is a brother-in
I law to the Stenberg brothers and came
here from Lancaster countv two years
ago and is farming quite largely. He
has one hundred and twenty acres of
wheat, forty or corn, twenty of oats
and twenty of spuds. He also likes thif
county fi" und would not move bad:
to his old location.
About on mile north of the city lim
its is the home of J. D. Linder, who
came here four years ago from Saun
ders county and is well satisfied. He'
is farming one hundred and sixty
acres and was planting corn when we
came up, but had a nice visit with him
and he told us that he was planting
forty-five acres of corn, twenty of oats
and fifty of potatoes.
'
Gail Trice Is a newcomer to 'this
town but was raised in this county
up at Hemingford. He Is farming
three hundred and twenty acres, most
ly with a tractor. He is planting
eighty acres to potatoes, thirty-five
to oats, thirty-five to wheat and forty
to corn. Mr. Price says that the hog
and corn and spud make the best con.
bination.
About eighty rods east of Mr.
Price's Is the fine farm of Mrs. F.
Gilleran, who owns three hundred and
twenty acres of very fine land and it
is niolw imm-nved. She has been rent
ing it out until this spring, for both

Our net rtop was at the home cf
our old friend, Alex T. Lee of the
Nebraska Farmer. We have done a
great deal of work for them and thnt
is how our acquaintance started. We
found Alex busy planting corn but
we had a very nice little visit with
him and talked over old. times. Alex
has been here six years, coming from
Denver, where he had been u street
car conductor, but tells us that he
like the farming game, is running two
hundred and sixty acres und is a
mixed, farmer. Now, listen, he has
seventy acres to corn, thirty-seven to
wheat, forty-four to oats, eigi wn to
rye, ten to potatoes and twenty to
forage crops. We think that' is mixed
farming.
Rain, rain, beautiful rain! This--
county is surely getting plenty and the
weather is warm and the wheat and
oais und grass are growing as fast a?
one possibly expect. The country i:
taking on its summer appearance and
the ground could not be in better con
dition for corn and poettocs. We art
predicting a bumper crop for Box

us in Tuesday morning and we did not
get very far in the afternoon, but we
did see some of the n'cest places we
have seen so far and had Eome very
nice visits, too.

Such is the good counsel that each father and
mother, who have weathered Life's storms and "
sunshine alike, should give to their offspring. J
Admonish your son and daughter to be Thrifty, J
to Economize without self-denial, ai)d to learn J
the real value of every dollar saved as it per- '
tains to the future. . .
There is likewise a lesson for the present day young woman
and young man to learn. .There may come a time when they
will wish that they had saved seme of the money that they
now light-heartedly lavish on needless things.
1 y.
Now is the time to save so that when the. winter of old age rolls around
there will be no necessity of added burdens through the tearing worries
of financial troubles.
K Come in and see us today. Let us show how your Savings will grow with
