RE WHAT ABOUT A FABMES8' AGSICTJX TUBAL ASSOCIATION. now ao you tarm.' ,4iiy mam strength and awkwardness?" Very probably that is true. Wouldn't be a good plan to fertilize our crops with a little good brain power? Ave often hear some one say "I learned something- this year about raising- corn," or some other crop "Why not pass it around, instead of letting- your neighbor find it out as best he can? It is possible that his 'own sweet way" will debar him from ever discovering" the good things ybu have learned. A word of suggestion from 3rou would put him on the highway to success. Especially is intelligent, thought ful farming needed in this county. mtiioura doubt there are many crops that can b.e successfully raised here with proper cultivation. In stead of leaving these thinjrs to conjectures, why not reduce them to facts? In the last few years it has been remarkable that two farmers, liv ing side by side, one has raised a crop another has failed. Now is it not possible that one man may be as successful as another, and in stead of one in a hundred succeed ing ana tne other ninety-nine male- inga total failure to at least en- ianure to at least en deavor to change the ratio to more favorable showing" for the Lincoln county farmers. The day has long since passed wueii tne success 01 tne iarmer is to be measured by the pounds of physical labor expended in a year 1 11 r 1 r or the number of hours of untiring and ceaseless toil. It should be esteemed as a privilege and every opportunity for intellectual growth should be improved A farmers' monthly or quarterly institute or association offers the very best opportunity for this. Sup pose we take off our coats and don our thinking caps and see what can be done. I should be glad to hear from the. farmers of our county so minded T" . j t 1 jrup me a postal card, or send a word of commendation or otherwise to the papers. Weseey Lewis, North Platte.

Theamountof enthusiasm created by the Sidney irrigation convention seems to be unprecedented in Ne braska. 'Returning delegates are aglow with the spirit of the meet ing, and almost bursting with statistics about the progress made in this great industry in western Nebraska. One of the delegates writes from Ord that one million acres will be under the ditch in Ne braska on May 1 next. 44 At an average production of $10 an acre," he says, "this would be $10,000,000 added to the total of Nebraska's wealth." - Some of the figures quoted at the meeting were big enough to stag ger a conservative iarmer of the east. A few examples may show the course of events under irriga tion: Hiram Manchester of North Loup harvested 114 bushels of oats an acre.. Jerry Dwyer of Hershev has a record of 110 bushels. Peter Smith of Columbus raised 96 bushels of corn. Charles H. Simmons of Sunflower realized over $100 an acre trom his alfalfa. William H. Wright of Gering raised 800 bush els of onions and actually sold the crop for $800. "Query," adds our correspondent. 4 'What is the value of land vielding $S00 an acre in a single season?" Another instance that points the way to prosperitv for -the farmers of Nebraska was reported by A. W. Mills ot Minatare. . He raised 90 on three acres of alfalfa. Thirty of them that cost $2 each he j sold tor a little more than $11 a head. Where is there a state east of the Missouri river that offers better re turns for a limited amount of capital than Nebraska offers to the men 1. . , r , Journal. nci siuiciiuube ul wcu.nu. otate Pain and Fever. "If I had my way, I would smash ev ery woman's thermometer 1" exclaimed an irate physician who had been roused from his slumbers in tho dead of night by a nervous lady. She had found that her little instrument registered fever heat, and although she felt only a slight indisposition she fancied herself serious ly ill and sent post haste for the doctor. "In iny opinion, the laity have no business with professional implements ; they are too ignorant and too panicky. Many a time a thermometer, for in stance, will register heat from some lo cal cause when there is little or no fe ver. Another time when I was sent for at night after I was comfortably asleep by a frightened mother, I found the child had only a canker spot in the mouth, which, of course, produced irri tation and heat, and consequently affect ed the thermometer. Another one of my patients bought a new fever thermom eter the other day, and it was delivered at the house just as the children were starting for a matinee. While they were waiting for the carriage she foolishly put the tube in the mouth of ene of the little girls, to test it To her conster nation, it registered 102K- Ton are ill, Maud 1' she exclaimed. 'You cannot possibly go to the play.

When I arrived, I found no traces of fever whatever, only the hys trical remains of a crying fit, brought on by disappointment. What caused the rise in temperature? I can't say. Per haps the excitement after eating, for they had just had their luncheon and were wild about the theater." New York Tribune. Shoes at Rennie's.

Up in Custer county the board of supervisors started out to investi gate a few things that looked sus picious, the other day, and found that the pop sheriff had been using county coal to heat his dwelling. The janitor was at once instructed to padlock the coal house. Ex chanre. Wm. Scully who owns nearly a whole county of Nebraska lands, has moved from London to New York. He also owns from eiirl to one iiunnreo inousand acres m Illinois, and his removal to this countrv is on account of the laws passed in that state against the acquirement of lands by aliens. Work has commenced on the Dawson and Lincoln Co. irrigation canal in a kind of a desultory way. The bonds have not been sold which prevents work from being carried on as intended. Yhen once the bonds are s-old work will be prose cuted enenreticallv. Cozad Tri bune. Frank Murphy, foreman of the Stone ranch northwest of Madison, and Ralph Johnson had a husking race the other day. Mr. Johnson husked and cribbed 109 bushels of corn. Mr. Murohv husked 106 bushels and thirty pounds, but did not crib it. The corn averaced 3 thirty bushels to the acre. A young man giving the name of Richard Smith, obtained license at Seward to marry Miss Brick, after which he filled to the sideboards on red liquor and became so boisterous he was taken to jail and given till to become sober and respectable. The marriage feast untasted lay, the preacher was turned loose, while Richard snoozed away booze within the calaboose. On his sheep ranch northwest of the city Mr. Rob't Taylor now has 18,000 head of sheep, fattening them for the spring market. Another shipment will be made from Wyom ing next week, making in all about 20,000 to 25,000 head. Mr. Taylor keeps two large steam engines and boilers at work constantly cooking food for them. It is a great sight to be present at the feeding hour of his somewhat of a family. Grand Island Independent. Attorney T. L. Warrington went over to Broken Bow Wednesday, called there in his professional capacity as counsel for some of the bondsmen of a late pop county treasurer of Custer county, who embezzled fifteen or sixteen thous and dollars of the dear people's money. The law holds his bonds men for the amount of his shortage, and they, being pops, are kicking' like steers because they are asked to plank down the stuff. And as there are no pop lawyers of recog nized ability, and because one pop will not trust another they have employed Mr. Warrington, a re publican, whose ability and worth they recognize. Of course, he'll do the best he can for his clients and a bad cause, and if possible pull'em out of the financial mess they are in. But they ought to be compelled to be compelled to make good to the county every dollar their county treasurer swiped. Lexington Pio neer.
