PACIFIC DEPOT Nichal Nuggets. In accordance with the old adaye we maj expect six weeks of blustering- winter weather 3et as the ground hog- could easily behold his shadow on emerging- from his winter quarters on last Saturday to bask in the beautiful sunshine after which he returned to his earthly tabernacle to enjoy six weeks of peaceful slumber interposed by happy dreams. The weather lately has been giv ing zero close calls which has not been in accordance with the feeling's of the people in general. Hay is selling- for $7.50 per ton on the track in the valley. The re cent cold weather has given it a raise. It is expected that Rev. Nichols of Paxton will assist Rev. Franklin in the revival meeetings at Hershey this week. Lewis Randall and wife are ex pected home this week from a week's sojourn in the vicinity of Somerset. All members of the K. O. T. M. lodge at Hershey are earnestly re quested to attend the regular meeting- on Wednesday evening- thit week as business of importance is to be transacted. John Kenworthy of Maxwell has rented the Ferguson farm for the coming- year. Ed Wright and wife are calling on friends over on the north side. The remains of Adam Berscheid, who was mentioned last week as being" killed in an explosion at Mendota, 111., on Friday, the week ! before, was found the following Monday among- the debris in the second story of the building-- with both legs nearly severed from his bod-. The funeral and interment took place the next Wednesday. His life was insured in the Modern Woodmen for S2.000, which goes to his mother, who is a widow of ad vanced age. J. W. Liles team took him into i the city of North. Platte a lying- on Saturday. They were brought to a standstill near the postoilice be fore nil, damage was done, y J. II. Hershey harvested ice last week. Miss Anna Gossley.of the Platte, was the guest of Mrs. J. M. Dwyer recently. Miss May Richards, of Ogalalla, is visiting- her sifter Bessie. Frank Cook has about recovered from injuries received in a recent runaway while returning from the hub. Albert Mushier and wife will depart for Ililf. Col., in a short time, where Al will superintend an irri gation ditch the coining season. This worthy couple have made many friends in this community during the short time that they have resided here who will deeply regret their departure. All those who .ad the pleasure of attending the hard times ball" at i Hershey on Friday evening- last week report a social time. A light snow storm prevailed in in this country on Thursday even ing last week. H. W. Brown returned to the ranch in McPherso'i county last Saturday, aud D. A. who had been looking after things up there, came down home Sunday, where he will remain for a while. i We have been told that Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Miner will depart for ! their new home in Missouri shortly. The finest snow storm of the sea son visited this section on Satur day evening. About three inches fell. Mrs. Carrie Struthers expects to return to Sidney this week after a short visit with her mother at this place. Judging from the amount of ice that the farmers in this country are putting up this winter, the' will have no trouble in keeping cool duriug the hot summer montjis. Jolui Tynan and Al Moshier de livered several loads of corn at the countv seat on Saturdav and Mon day. I. N. Ball and Will Brooks took a tie pas.s for the hub Saturday morn ing, returning in the evening some what the worse for wear. The granger who has no hogs to feed and is selling his corn is the lucky man this year. Pat. BRADY BREEZES. Three inches of snow fell in this vicinity on Monday. Nels Cover returned from Lin coln Friday morning. Morris YauTyle took a trip to Gothenburg Friday. The ball aUhe Globe hotel has been postponed till next Friday. H.

APPLIES TO NORTH PLATTE. - If a-man was surrounded by heaps of gold dollars, aTTiFTToiild notflmt forth his. hand to tako them, -we would call him a foplJThis- is the position which theeople of. Kear ney are in today. - -, Of what does thiswealth consist? - (' - It consists in our fertile 'lands, our beautiful sunshine, and the abund ance of water winch, nature has given us, which combined with the lands and sunshine yill :produce (rrMn for xi-rtilfli lr minnc sf Colorado and California. How to get tliisjjsalth' is a prob lem that cp g fronts. fclie people of Kearney and. its vicinity. There are certainrops that seem particularly adaptetooitc-soil and climate. First ani.ong these we would put the sugar, beet. Under the adverse circumstances' of 1894, on land in the vicinifcyvf .Kearney, sugar beets were raised that showed a profit of S2S.50 pen-, acre after .all expenses were paid;- This does not take into consideration the interest on the land. Alfalfa is anotheccrop which is attracting a great deal of attention, and it has been fullyj- demonstrated that the soil and .climate in the vicinity of Kearney are particularly adapted to this great forage crop. Celery has been tried on a small scale by Messrs. Black and Robert son, and many hundreds of dollars worth were shippeuTy them during the past fall. The' low lands lying near the river and also the islands in the Platte are 'unsurpassed for celery culture. Themiarket is prac tically unlimited forjthe reason that the demand for caivedrcelery is uni-vcriilj-tuid an"- siXluV r'ciia'tning after the market issupplied with fresh celery could be canned and shipped all over the United States. Potatoes, with irrigation, make a sure and valuable crop. Small fruit can be raised in the greatest per fection, and the -possibilities for -iinall vegetables such as peas, bean, tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes and sweet corn is practi cally unlimited, and the demand for these when canned is only limited by the supply. Whith the unceasing underflow of the Platte and the use of pumps, it only remains for our people to apply what nature has given them, and make this one of the richest sections in the United states. Will we do it? Will we get out of the rut and strike out upon the higher level of advanced methods in culture and horticulture?

From the Irrisaticu' Age. Alfalfa must talk less and slow more of modesty. Fi h stories palo beside tho t ales of iho new vegotablo wander. Ewu the glories of irrigation are of little avail iu o 'tnparison with what this new forage plant, eacaline, promises to do fur agriculturo in tho drouth strickon region . Veritab o forests of fodder may replace tho long time favorite bunch grass of tho dry mesas. Such at least is lho iuferenco that ono draws from the de-scrip ions of tho latest aspirant for high rank amoug tho forage plants. And it has high indorsements from men whoso word may not begainsaid. Prof. L. II. Bailey, t.10 conservative botanist aud horticulturist at the Cornell Uni versity Experiment Station, "believ. s that it will bo a good tiling for some parts of the country." L'rof. J. L. Biidd, of tho L.wa Agrh ultura.l College, con siders it as "very valuable in tho dry west as a forage plant." London Garden says that "cattle are exceedingly fond of it," and that "as a foi age plant it lias an assured future." Its analysis .compares favoraMy with clover anfcalfBlfn. The various other English, Freqgh and Ger man horticultural journals praise it highly. Prof. L. II. Pammel, of the Iowa Agricultural College, writes as follows in Garden and Forest: 'It is not only perfectb hardy in Can tral Iowa, as far as cold is concerned, but it stands the dry weather remark ably well. We havo had no rain to speak of since the Iatt- r part of July, but this plant is as green at the end of September as it was early m July. The root stock of this plant is ?ent out in all directions. Thf--orig!nal plant has -been in a dry place, .or many years, but in all this time it has not '"onto ben killed, back. Jl is a remarkable grower. Early in June italk6 were fourteen feet high. What is 1 eeded in the west is- aplant that can.bo used in August "and Septem ber when , pastures aire 'nearly always hardy and vigorous, bearing with equal mdiffeience extreme of heat iu summer and cold in winter. Wo havo cultivated thi plant sinco its introduction into France, for purely decorative purposes. Tho young, white shoots are eatable, .but they do not rival asparagus, though its splendid foliage may bo made uso of for garnishing dessert aud for packing fruit. Moreover, the experiments of M. Doumet-Ailauson on tho forage uses of our Polygoncsu transmitted to tho Academio des Sciences of Paris hy M Duchartro. and tho communications I havo made to the Societo Nationale d'Agriculturo of Franco havo brought the p ant into notice, and called tho atteution f farmers to it. The Saca lino was discovered by tho Russian ex plorer, Maximowicz, iu tho Islo of 'Saghaiir, situated iu tho sea of Okhotsk, but ween VXapau and Siberia, a' moder ately larg island, ceded to Russia by Japan iu exchange for the Kurilo Archi pelago. Iu 18G9. Edouard Andre noticed this new introduction, in tho Jardin d'Acclimatatiou of Moscow, where it was exceedingly decorative, and brought it into France, lolling us of its vigorous growth both above and below ground. The roots I ranch on all sides, and pas horizoutally from tho rhizomes, p' notrat mg thp hardest soils and giving origin to now shoots which further increase tho sizo if the c ump. Tho 6teuis nre numerous and closely set; they vegetate early, and aro not lonu iu attaining a height of ten feet. Small, long, zigzag ramifications develop in the middle and at tho top of tho luxuriant plant." Thus we have tried to give fair con sensus of the published opinions on this important introduction. The favorite, because quickest means of propagation is by setting tho youug plant, but in order to give our readers au opportunity to thoroughly test tho Sacaline, we havo mado arrAngeuienL-. with tho fortunate introducer, A. Blanc, of Philadelphia, for a supply of tho seeds, a packet of which wo will send gratis aud prepaid to every reader of tho Irrigation Age who has paid, or shall scon pay, his sub scription for 1895 All applications should bo made direct to tho office of he Age. M. Blanc writes us that we should sound a warning that somo seedsmen last senson wero bad.y "fooled" by cer tain parties palming off upon them seeds of P. Cuspidatum, which is a compara tively worthless species of tho same genius. But these seedsmen sell tho spurious seeds (not sacalino at all) at a very low price, while tho truo sort is not sold at wholesalo at icss than 825 a pound, and when lirst introduced sold at above 81,000 per pound. As tho eup piy increases, frqm season to season, the price lowers pf course, but is still held at a high figure, because it is in very great demsind. This use of P. Cuspidatum is most unfortuuato as it spreads Ireely, and as it is claimed to bo a bad weed, is likely to work great harm where- planted, for itsolf, and because it is apt to rellect upon tho truo sacaline for which it was bought. A complete illustrate d pamph let on sacaline will bo sent on applica tion to Mr. Blanc as above. At a recent meeting of tho Butfalo county Farmer's Club the following ex perience of interest to Lincoln connty agriculturalists was given: "G. X. Smith discussed, 'Are Irrigated Potatoes good for Seed?' 4I have heard i said they would grow very rank, but would not make tubers.' J. L. Brow, 'I have heard tho ame. From my knowledge of the nature of potatoes I cannot see that ther- would be any difference. All the potatoes I grew last year were from seed grown by irrigation. The tubers planted were large. I. cut them in pieces neither produced a tuber larger thau a pea. Tho irrigated seed camo up first and grow strongest. Tho varieties wore not the same. I should not hesitate to plant potatoes that have been growu by irrigation.' Mr. Sturdovaut, 'I raised a good crop of potatoes last year by run uiug a furrow bctweeu tho raspberry rows, planted small tubers- very deep. They camo up and kept alive until tho fall rain, then they camo to tho front."' Wo had tho pleasure, a fow days ago of inspecting tho work being done by E. J. Boblils on his irrigation scheme at Tuckervillo. At great labor and expense Mr. Bublits has dug a "ditch along the river, three-quarters of a mile in length, commencing just below tho Zimmorer p ace. .Near lho -nd of this ditch ho ex pected to have fall enough to operate a hreast wiieel with power sufficient to r.iise tho water to tho bank abovo about thirty feet with a centrifugal pump. Owing to the shortness of the ditch from tho starting point to tho place where the water must bo takon out, ho liud. thoro will not bo enough to do th- work. With character stic energy Mr. I'obliU is now constructing a dam across the river at the nead of his ditch, which will enablo him to get a sullicieut fall ol water to operato his machinery. IIo has come to the concusion that he mils', either irrigate or emigrate-, and wo sin cerely hope his coiumendablo enterprise may meet with success. Callaway Courier. E. F. Test, in tho Omaha Bee, says that tho fanners of Iowa and Nebraska should plant liberally in small grain ani corn this year. "Tho indications are, says he, "that tho months of June, July aud August will bo hot. steamy and sultry, just tho roverso of last year, ino planet Venus will travel with tho earth through space around tho sun during these months, passing the earth on the 19th of September. After that day we must expect frosts. Certain periods of March aud April will bo mild and warm, but there is danger 10 tho fruit crop about tho loth to tho 17th of May. Altogether the sea-on will 1.0 similar to th- summer of 1831. when Venus and tho earth wero traveling around tho sun together. Venus is a marine world -that is, covered with water, and when in proximity to the earth iu summer, we cm alwavs expect a hot, sultry, wet seasou.duriug tho summer months." THIS 1.KGISLATUKE. A PJPTL'S PRECOCITY. Pardon the ir.v.u'uon, but I ask an other small space in you- excellent Thev weren.pape-r, for retaliation. Little dia link that such an able and proficient ecribb as "Secuudus" would have allowed him self to wander here and there as oo ia a transient dream, while attempting to spank tho school-boy, completely for getting tho relation between the uni versity of the 6tato and the many high schools. As I look over the catalogue of the stato university I see plainly wriLon, that tho scionco of military disciplinb is compul ory. Now if th common high school boy is "well skilled in this science, for at the university they givo credit for all branches taken in tho high school, an examination upon this is not needed. lie will not only stand in a position for promotion, but a place of high honor. And it is not the bluo caps, tho gorgeous uniforms and the shiny buttons that tho boys are striving for, as "Secundus" suggests, but honor able positions among fellow students, gained only by proficiency. Ho mentions all tho dreadful and appalling sights accompanying the modern strike. It is only necessary to stato that tho high school cadet is exempt from all such crUel scenes, and never wa organized for 'such purposes; but rather for ' preparation to' make rapid progress in tho stato university. An other word regarding the strike: Law and order must be maintained, and it is of an anarchistic nature to argue any thing olse. Just a word to my venerable, far sighted and dignified graduate: Little do I doubt but what your gracious feet have trod the bloody sands of countless arenas, nor do I doubt but what your august form has been a conspicuous liguro upi-n the plains of Mars, nor do I question my imagination when it leads mo to think that attired in knightly robes, mounted upon a fiery charger, sweoping like a fearful tornado, you have rode over the immortal battle field ol Tours, and upon your silver trumpet sounded the grand razzle-dazzoo in honor of the fallen martyrs of days of yore. But methinks your pedigree is not quite so extensive in scientific argu ment, and as I have answered all your questions in the above reply, I remain sincorely yours. School Bov.
