To the teachers, school boards, and citizens of Lincoln county: Our teachers' county institute convenes in the court room on next Monday, August 9, to continue two weeks. We anticipate a profitable session and we cordially invite the attendance of all who are in any way interested the cause of educa tion. We expect our instructors to bring to us some of the best thoughts of advanced educators which, cannot fail to be interesting and of practical benefit to all. Miss Haas will introduce the Spee Method" of number work, which is being adopted in many of the best schools in the east and al though new in name, if not en tirely so in idea, has much in it to commend it to the investigation of teachers. " Mr. Orr will explain the use of the sources in the study of history and impress all with the superior ity of this method over the old one of committing to memory so many paragraphs of some narrative each day. From Dr. Bowlus we expect many helpful things in pedogogics and in thestudv of our lantrunjre and its Salted Meats, Having re-opened the City Meat Market, opposite the Hotel Neville, I am prepared to furnish customers with a choice quality of meats of all kinds.

Trumbull of Sutton, will give an elocutionary entertain ment on the 17th. This will be a rare treat to all and may prove in structive at the same time. A small admission will becharged to this entertainment to defray the expenses of Mr. Trumbull but I ieel safe in recommending it to the patronage of all who enjoy intellec tual entertainments ot this kind. The Lincoln County Teachers' Association will hold its second meeting for the year on the 19th for which a special programme has been prepared. Election of officers for the ensuing year and reorgan ization of the local asssociations will be effected at the time. In the evening a lecture by Lieutenant-Governor James E. Harris nnnn Ffllira tional Forces" will be given. The 20 and 21st will be occupied with examination for teachers' ccr tificates. Flora A. Franklin, County Superintendent. A "Salvation" Plant Louis Thoelecke on Wednesday nftprnnnn drove the editor out to his tract of land southwest of town in order that the latter might see his twenty-five acre field of alfalfa, a plant which Mr. Thoelecke de clares will orove the financial sal vation of this section of country. This particular field is located on the valley bottom and was sown to alfalfa last August. It has not re ceived the benefits of irrigation, but made a most excellent stand better than many fields we have seen in the irrigated section. The first cutting produced about one and one-balf tons per acre; the second crop has been left standing and will be cut for seed. The quarter section of land, of which this alfalfa field is a part, is what could be called fair hay land, and had been cut over for several years, producing from a half to three-quarters of a ton ot hay per acre, and bringing a revenue of not to exceed two dollars per acre to the owner. Sown to alfalfa this same land will after the second season pro duce from five to seven tons per acre, thus bringing in a revenue from six to ten times greater than obtained by allowing it to remain as a tract of wild hay land. It is thus apparent to any one that the owners of valley bottom landJose money each year they allow it to remain as hay land instead of breaking it up and sowing it to alfalfa. There is no danger of raising too much alfalfa, and there is not like ly to be a time when alfalfa hay will not command about as' high a price as prairie hay. If the land owners of the Platte valley will en gage more extensively in raising alfalfa, we are assured that several of the heaviest sheep feeders of the west will locate feed yards in our midst, thus creating a market for the alfalfa hay. The only reason why these feeders do not locate here now, is on account of the in sufficient supply of alfalfa. The locating of feed yards would mean a home demand for hay at a fair price. But not only for hay is alfalfa valuable. It has been proven that as a feed for young pigs it has few if any superviors and as hog rais ing is certain to become one of the most profitable sources of revenue for the farmer, the successful hog raiser must have alfalfa pastures tor his young hogs. Miss Hirsh, a Dakota county teacher, is showing the usual devo tion of woman to worthless men. Her betrothed, Wm. Ream, has been sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for cattle stealing and she is doing everything under the sun to keep him out of the walls of the "pen" that she may have him tor a husband six years earlier than otherwise.
