"In Ood In our tmnl: f. And the Star-spangled Manner In triumph ahnll wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Old Olory." Above are aome of the sentiments thai pervaded the hearts of the kind neighbors and good friends who eel Lehrated the glorious Fourth at Rtraa- burger. Every one present, and there were many who came from east nnd west, from north and south, contributed In some way or other to the delightful success of this enrapturing holiday. Here were true Americans; de scendants of the witty Irishman, of tlx- stubborn and reliable Scotchman, (it the philosophical and music lov ing German, of the vivacious French In an, of the determined Englishman and the honest Norwegian, nnd thank Ood, they were all lovera of Amerl ra. All of whom formed a goodly bancs' of the ninety millions of peo pk who beheld our Star-spangled Manner with a hallowed love. Of course we wanted a sane Fourth and we had It. To be sure, we had music; a speech by John It. Stras burger; the great American game, base ball; horse races; bucking bronchos; tug of war; and lemonade made by Miss Louise Hughes. Fred McMillan, accompanied hy his broth er, aang "The Red, White nnd Mlue." Everybody snng America and The Star Spangled Bnnner. C. A Shirr engineered the phonograph . Harris son Slrnshurger read In a thoughtful way the Declaration of Independence. A song was sung by everyone The Old Oaken Bticket, nnd then John M. Strnsburger hnd a stunt. He defined an American. A few things he said were, "America la young only III veins old. America will endure as a republic ns long as we remain American in thought and In spirit. The greatest days are yet to come." Rev. Dr. I'orter made some trite re marks, reminding the people of the Inner man. Some dined in a tent, some In the school house, nbout fifty wended their way to the home of John B. Strnsburger where tables were put In position Just eaRt of the house, making one long table of about fifty feet In length. After grace by Rev. Porter, every one present hugely enjoyed the spring chickens (fried) and plea and cakea and lemonade etc., prepared by the good married and single ladieB of Sheridan county. As some one said, looking at this bounteful supply of good things, "One would never dream there were any hard times in this country." After dinner a ball game enjoy ed by everyone, between Spade and Strnsburger boys. They played like professionals on both sides. For awhile Spade was ahead, then finally with the greatest care and efficien cy and watchfulness the Strasburger boys got ahead, having the score as Dowards the score-keeper says, 6 to 5. John Calloqutn Is an ideal um pire, fair and impartial as all um pires and judges should be. All the players on both sides played well and were wide awake. What was noticeable too, was the courteous and gentlemanly bearing of all the players, no objectionable language but all were happy, good natured active. In other words were O. K. Purees were made up for running ruces, Willie Wlntermute coming out first best with his charger, and George He Mord winning second prize. A bucking horse owned by Mr. Cook and ridden by Mr. Jack i'lcker ell delighted the onlookers. Picker ell kept In the saddle, however. Nev er h.is It been my lot to see a horse jump higher or buck harder. Then Verner Moore, who was act ing master of the horse, instead of Marguard Petersen, who had to stay at home at least one day out of the year. Verner superintended a tug-of-war between Spade men and Strasburger men Just acting as if there was a rope strong enough in Sheridan County to endure the strain between two such mighty forces. Let me state the rope was not strong enough. However I am happy to say no one was Injured in any way thru out the day. It Is to be hoped we will all meet again July 4. 1912.

We answer all calls promptly sod will be glad to serve you in any way in which a rig is required. H. P. COURSEY. Prop. 1'lUlNB By Et win Hopt. Assistant In Agron omy, Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, University of Nebraska. Not may years ago it was the gen eral belief that in the cultivation of corn good plowing was good in propor tion as It was deep. In the most arid sections of the country and in the driest weather the farmer felt that he must leave behind him a trail of moist, black earth. The depth from which this moist earth bad to be brought did not concern. The torn delicate corn roots hanging on the cultivator shanks and the wilting of the corn behind the cultivator had lit tle significance. Later Investigation into the nature of the corn plant proves that the root system of corn is far more liable to Injury In tillage than had been sup posed. The corn roots extend out nearly horizontally for a foot or two, the great majority of them being less than four Inches from the surface. By the time corn Is ready to "lay by" the upper four Inches of soil is a complete network of fine, fibrous roots. Upon these roots the plant must depend for much of its water and more of its solute3 or plant food. A young corn plant with root system badly mutilated Is about as sadly crippled as a young dog would be If deprived of teeth and the end of hs tongue. The mischief then that a thoughtless farmer with a longnoseA, deep-running cultivator may do in a cornfield at once becomes apparent. The drier the year, the later In the season and the closer to the corn plant this deep cultivation oc curs, the greater the mischief. There are times, of course, when deep cultivation may be advisable. If weeds have gotten the start and have i cached such a size that the farmer's struggle with them is a fight Instead of being what weed killing should be a nv?ro slaughter of helpless infants deep stirring Is necessary. In case of a very heavy, packing rain, rainy deep cultivation may be necessary to restore the soil to good physical con dition. In listed corn the ridges must be worked down The earlier this takes plaro, however, the less the ac companying damage to corn roots The average results of over a dozen experiment stat'ons In the United States for an average test of nearly five years show that deep cultivation of corn Hour inches and over) gave ixty-fivs bushels per acre, while cul tivatton as shallow as it was practical to give yielded seventy-five bushels This gives a superiority for the shal low cultivated corn of ten bushels, or about 16 r er ent. In he drier sections It ia probable that the percentage of difference would be even greater. A cornfield should be plowed before the corn Is planted. Afterwarls It should, ordinarily, be merely cultivated, and cultivated shallow. has just issued bullettn No. 120, en titled, "Alfalfa Management." This gives a summary of the methods used by the most successful farmers In various parts of the state In secur ing a stand and in handling a crop ot alfalfa. The discussion related to the eastern, as well aa to the western sections. It has been the purpose in writing this bulletin to put the material in such a form that the farmer can read ily find a discussion of the phase In which he Is particularly Interested.

' The Nebraska Experiment SUtlou SPLENDID STAND OF ALFALFA THAT WAS SEEDED LAST YEAR, The first division treats of the kind of soil best adapted to the growth of the plant, with suggestions for treat ing soil which does not give satisfac tory results. This is followed by a discussion of the seed bed, the method of its preparation and the importance of manure receive a prominent place. The farmers are advised to pur chase their heed from the north, or from the dry lands of tbe northwest, rather than from the south. It is also recommended that no seed be used which has not been tested for purity and for germination by the govern ment seed laboratory, located at Lin coln. This test will be made free. A discussion of the amount of seed per acre and of the various methods of seeding will help the man who Is In doubt In reference to this point. ; Broadcasting is compared with drill i ing. both with a disk drill and a press drill. Warnings are given to farmers tvho use either method, and sugges tions for greater success. There is a comparison made of spring seeding, early summer seeding, late summer seeding and fall seeding. from which conclusions are drawn. The late summer seeding Is recom mended for sections of the state I where there is plenty of moisture to I give the plants a good start at that Reason of the year. The important subject of disking tbe alfalfa is discussed quite thorough ly. The conclusions are bas"d noon I -eports whic h have been received i from a large number of farmers who I hft TO practiced disking tte'r flelc's i I ncrease the yield. The res tlt3 ft not ' eem to warrart tJwi practice, unless the field la to be plowei up In a year or two after It Is disked. Directions are given for thlckenlr-? the stand on fields where there are )not a sufhvieiit number of plants. It Is stated that this can be successfully jdone in many instances. Recom imendations are male to alfalfa seed growers, and the bulletin closes bv a brief discussion of methods of caring I for the hay and of pasturing the al falfa field.
