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

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.

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.

"If I had my way, I would smash ev

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
