Stevens, of Dawson county, down near Farnam some two years ago, has been decided both sane and guilty by the su preme court, and is under sen tence to be hanged on January 10, 18. This will be a. new experi ence for the sheriff elect, but the general opinion is that the,verdicL is a righteous one, as it is doubtful if a more cold-blooded brutal mur der of an innocent man has ever oc curred in Nebraska. As the case stands nothing but executive clem ency will save the neck of the vil lain, and that will hardly be inter posed as it was Judge (now gov ernor) Holcomb who tried the case in the district court.

The idea that the uplands of Lin coln county will become depopulat ed by the irrigation movement is one of the temporary fallacies that seem to creep into the brains of a few of our people. The coming suc cessful upland farmer in Lincoln county will conform his efforts to the imperative mandates of nature. In relation to rainfall he will not conduct a business on the basis of a hope that certain theories will make the climate what he wants it to be; but on what he actually knows it to be, and what the expe riences of residents of twenty and thirty years standing know it to be. He will believe more in the unbiased reports of theU. S. signal or weath er service than in the claims of the land speculator, that the climate will change because he has cultiva ted his cornfield or planted a few fruit trees. The coming successful upland Lincoln county fanner will carefully subsoil the land that he cultivates, in order that all the moisture that talis may seep down and be stored or reservoired for future use. He will plow deep When his corn or potatoes are growing he will keep the surface of the land well mulched with loose dirt by means of con stant cultivation. He will irrigate in a small way by means of a pump, reservoir and windmill, and will carry on a small irrigated farm ot from five to twenty acres that he will cultivate t intensely as well as intensively. This small farm thus irrigated-will be the only basis on -which he makes any estimates. He will put in his forty, eighty or one hundred as merely a chance crop, and carefully avoid any risk or ex - pense on these acres. This will be j mortgages of every character, and clear gain if he raises' anything, and ! will follow the business of farming but little loss if he fails. He will j as the best of business men conduct grow an orchard of not less than ; their business. They will take no five acres on every farm. This he ' desperate chances on the climate will irrigate by means of his wind-1 but theyiwill carefullyiand consid miil. and having thus irrigated the erately adjust themselves and their trees"he will not have the climate for tbe blosstfms falling in the-t sorinET. nor the fruit falling off in the fail because the trees could notj drink Up enough water to enable them to maintain tie strength nec - ;eSSarrto:hold the blossom on the This farmer will also select the inery at haviug been east for three iSENNIiE'S ' BEPAETMENT ST0BE.

He will also raise all the the cattle that he can conveniently handle. Dairying will become one of the leading industries of this far mer. His dairy will be located where the water from the irrigation windmilb" .pump can le first dis- r charged into the creamery box. These farmers will all have small ice cellars or houses where the Ice that they cut on the reservoir can be stored for summer use, and there by aid them in making butter of a superior quality"tli CBn be carried on Into the season when butter com mands a higher price, and therefore realize paying figures for his labor. These successful, prosperous far mers will all carry small bands of sheep on every farm so that mutton can be had frequently upon the ta ble. These sheep will be kept in pastures made by enclosing small tracts of land temporarily by means of portable woven wire fences that will enable the farmer to keep the sheep in sight, protected and con trolled. Turkeys an'd other classes of fowls will be raised on all these farms. Hogs will be profitably raised by means of the alfalfa crops. These farmers will adopt proper safeguards to prevent raids being made upon them by the fellows who desire to make them''facm, loan.
