A subscriber in the cast asks a few questions relative to Lincoln county and the information he de sires is published with the view that it may prove of interest to nthcrs. Lincoln county was organized in 18GG, Itn area is 2,592 miles and with two exceptions is the largest county in size in the state. According to the latest reports there were 222,162 acres of vacant government land in the county nub jeet to entry. The greater part of thin laud is suitable only for graz ing purposes. The Union Pacific railroad still owns 153,872 acres of land in the county which it offers for sale at Irom $1 25 to $5.00 per acre. There are 385 miles of irrigation ditches in the county which were constructed at a cost of $578,853. These ditches cover 210,545 acres of laud aud it ia estimated that this land by reason of the con struction of the ditchcB has in creased in value in the sum of two million dollars, or an average of ten dollars per acre, There are 4,152 pupils of pchool age in the county and to teach them over 150 teachers are em ployed. There are about 130 school buildings tit the county. There are 105 miles of railroad in the coutity.Hhe Union Pacific pass ing cast and west through the cen tral part, and the B. &. M. east and west through the southern part. Stock raising is one ot the chief industries of the county and at this time there are over fifty thous and bead of cattle in the county. During the past year over one hundred thousand dollars worth of bay has been shipped to western and eastern markets from the Platte river bottom lands in Lin coln county. Potash. Killlncr the Cattle. "A number of cattle near Sand wich having died of the new dis ease that is doing so much damage throughout the state, the farmers sent for the state veterinarian, C. P. Lovejoy. He and a local doctor, after examining the com on which the fetock had been feeding, declare that the smut was not injurous, but that potash was found to exist in considerable quantities on the leaves and Btaike, the dry weather accounting for the deposit. It causes emaciation, tuilammation follows, then paralysis ensues. The blood, is also poisoned. Stock owners are advised not to feed the stock or leaves until after the fields have been thoroughly drenched with heavy rains or visited bv a quantity of snow This will separ ate most of the potash from the fodder. The fodder may be used alter being shredded aB a quantity of the potash will "sweat out" and depart with the dust or chaff. Yet every feeder should act with nru- dence and care even after the feed passes through this process, for if the stock is to depend unon this ex- clusively, ill results might follow even if stalk feeding is nee tin bv degrees. Mecomb, III,, Journal, The Courier reports that there is not a vacant house in Gerinirand several buildings in course of con struction to supply the demand. This is good evidence that Gcring is holding its own in spite of the railroad that missed it.
