SEC01TD AHKUAL SESSION OF LINCOLN
COUNTY FABMESS' INSTITUTE.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr. Mcintosh, of Omaha, ad
dressed the institute Friday after
noon on "Profit in Cattle Raising.
He urged the importance of having
srood bulls: that after the breeder
had selected his ideal he should
stick to that. Nothing is so dis
astrous as constantly changing-
breeds. The breeder should strive
to get a resemblance in type. The
color was not so much as sameness
in build. He had known one scrub
to damage the sale of an entire lot.
Better kill the scrub, for he invari
ablv was a loss from the moment the
feeder commenced feeding him. It
was not alone enough to weed out
steers, but the poor bred cow. He
felt that many farmers made a
great mistake in keeping steers too
long, and the "tops" were always
those that were not much over two
and one-half years old.
He then talked upon the dairy
branch. He thought it was a great
hole through which flowed much of
the farmer's profit to feed two hun
dred pounds of butter to the calf.
The cream separator would cut off
this loss, and thus under former
conditions we might accomplish
much. He thought the whole
agricultural interests depended up
on the stock industrv. The saving
of raw material and the reduction
of shipping expenses was so much
put into the pocket of the farmer.
The success of live stock depended
upon the ideal the breeder had in
view, rue oreeaer must nave a
constant picture of his ideal be
fore hinf. The ideal beef cattle
were well rounded in the high
price part. Cattlemen are born not
made. Governor Hoard, of Wis-
nsin, said that the things neces
sary were, nrst. tne man, second,
the breed and third the feed. The
farmers of western Nebraska
should feed for beef. He recom
meded Short Horns Red Polled and
Devons. He then outlined the
great opportunity before the Li n
coln county farmer in stock feeding
and theigreat value of alfalta- - He
suggested sulphur fed to cattle as
the best preventative for the black
leg-.
Mr. Barnum read an excellent
T"T
paper upon poultry raising. ne
said that poultry prices held to a
better average than any other farm
product. He estimated that at
least five thousand dollars worth of
poultry and eggs were shipped into
North Platte annually. One pound
ot poultry could be raised as easily
as one pound of wheat or pork.
Forty dollars invested in hens
would bring in a far greater return
than the same money invested in
cows. The thing essential was
that the chickens should be of good
stock and well housed. Stock could
be bred up by purchasing a setting
or two of eggs every season.
Ou motion of Mr. Buchanan it
was the sense of the meeting that
the papers read before the institute
be printed in the county papers.
The election of officers for the
next year followed, and the selec
tions made were as follows: Pres
ident, H. Otten. vice-president,
Lester Walker; secretary Wesley
Lewis.
EVENING SESSION.
lue loiiowmg" committees were
appointed:
Committee on programme: I. A.
Fort, F. E. Bullard, John Chapin,
O. H. P. Buchanan, Mr. Parcell.
Ladies' committee to arrange pro
gramme for ladies' department
Miss Hess, Mrs. Robt. Arundale.
Mrs. W. W. Lewis, Miss Bertha
Thoelecke, Mrs. A. D. Orr.
The K. P. Quartette rendered a
song after which the secretary read
Sanford Hartman's paper upon bee
keeping in Lincoln county. Mr.
Hartman thought there was no
reason why bees could not be suc
cessfuly kept in this country, as
they were kept in both warmer and
colder localities. He then grave a
very interesting life history of the
busy little bee that could not fail to
create much interest in those indus
trious little insects.
He said there were three kinds of
bees in each hive, queens, drones
and workers. He noted the curious
fact that while the cells in which
workers were hatched always lay
horizontal, those of the queen were
perpendicular; that the loss of the
queen was guarded against by hav
ing extra queen cells. The worker
is an undeveloped female, and all
but the drones were supplied with
sting-. The queen, however, never
used her sting except in killing
rival queens.
The K. P. Quartette rendered
another selection, after which Mr,
Stephens, of Crete spoke upon hor
ticulture. He said that the work
of the horticultural society had been
confined to the eastern part of the
state for the reason that most of
the members lived there; but in
visiting our irrigation fair last fall
he had discovered the unsurpassed
possiblities that were before Lin
coln county in the way of fruit
growing. He mentioned the suc
cesss of the Jofinathan apple, its
superior quality, and urged the
great opportunity of irrigating and
recounted its many advantages. It
lessened the liability to windfalls
and insured water at the critical
periods in the development of the
fruit. He recommended irrigation
in August so as to increase the
plant food, and help form the-buds
for the next crop. He then talked
of guarding against frost, and
spoke of the European method of
smudging, which had been introduc
ed in this country. He felt sure that
trees would not succeed in land that
t
contained alkali, neither in land
too wet or heavy, or loose soil.
Cherries did not need irrigating as
much as apples. He mentioned
the fact that the pruning of trees
here should be radically different
from that of the east. Trees
should be pruned so as to head low,
as it aided in controlling plant
evaporation and protected the
trunks of the tree from hail. He
spoke of Mr. Hogg, of Shelton, who
had some experience and found it
of great value to head the trees as
near the ground as convenient.
Peaches he said should be planted
upon the bleakest part of the farm,
which is contrary to the methods ,
that have beeu used, as the fall
wind would ripen the bark and
wood and guard against loss by
winter freezing-. With this treat
ment he entertained hopes that
peach raising might meet with
success here. Grapes should be
protected from late spring freezes,
which he thought to be the main
thing to be feared here. He rec
ommended that the bottom of the
hill be filled- witboldbones and
leave the ground sloping- toward
the vine the first few years. He
did not recommend cropping orch
ards.
Mr. Bullard then made a talk
upon horticulture. He thought the
farmer should live a little the best
of any oue, but he usually lives the
meanest. Me preterrea seeing- a
iew hollylocks in the front yard in
stead of a litter of pigs. He urged
the beautifying of country homes
and school houses. Mr. Buchanan
protested against all that Mr. Bui
lara uad said; tor uis wue was a
success at hollvhock growing", and
that their school house had trees
in the yard that would discredit the
oriornntir i li p c f n n f c nf tlilrli Afr
Bullard spoke.
Mr. Connor stated that he had
about fifteen acres of apples, and
though he had not followed the nur
sery directions in pruning he was
meeting- with success.
Mr. Mangold and daughter gave
an instrumental selection and Mr.
Parcel grave another of Will Carl-
eton's farm ballads, "Betsey and I
are in."
Mr. Park talked for a while upon
his success as an orchardist,
another solo was rendered by Mr.
Mangold, and then the following
resolutions were read and adopted;
We the farmers of Lincoln coun
ty in our second annual session de
sire to extend our thanks for the co
operation given us by the state uni
versity and the citizens of North
Platte.
Therefore be it resolved: That
we extend our sincere thanks to H.
F. Mcintosh and E. F. Stephens for
their able and instructive addres
ses: And
That we tender our thanks to
the young ladies of the high school,
K. P. Quartette and Mr. Mangold
and daughter for their assistance
in the programme, also to the
school for giving- us the use of their

That we do not forget the untir
ing work of I. A. Fort, our re
tiring president and pledge our
hearty co-operations to our new
president. And:
That much credit is due our local
talent O. H. P. Buchanan, A. Kun
kle, Ashley Peters, H. Ottten and
others for the success of the dis
cussions. Mr. Mcintosh then asked to talk
for a few moments. He stated that
in his visits through the western
part of the state he had not met
better timber for farmers' institutes
and he believed that the Lincoln
county institute was sure to be the
best in western Nebraska, and
chances were one of the best in the
state.
Thus ended the second session
of the Lincoln County Fanners' In
stitute. That it was a success
cannot be denied, and those who
were present felt that those who
remained at home lost something
they wll never be able to find.

GRANT AT WEST POINT.
A Good Record as a Student and a
High
Kccord a3 e ?Ian.
He was brevet led second lieutenant of
the Fourth infnulry and ordered to re
port to his command at Jefferson bar
rack Sr. Louis, after a .short vacation.
The entire army of the TJuited States
at that time numbered less thau S,000
meu, and the supply of officers was em
barrassingly large. It was the enstom,
therefore, to brevet graduates second
lieutenant.
He gradnatrd twenfy-first iu a roll of
39, with a fair record iu all things a
good record iu mathematics aud engin
eering and a remarkable record as horse
man. More than 100 had entered with him,
but one by one they had dropped one till
only 89 remained.
Apparently Grant remained markedly
tmmilitary throughout the four years'
course. He served as a private through
out the first two years. During the third
year he was made sergeiuit, but was
dropped (promotions at that time were
made for soldierly qualities and had no
exact relation to excellence iu studies),
and during the fourth year he served
again as private.
The first year he took up French and
mathematics, and though the course
was severe, including algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, application or algebra to
geometry, etc., he steed fifteenth iu a
class of CO iu mathematices and fortv-
ninth in French and twenty-seventh In
order of general merit. The second year
he climbed three poiuts in gcueral merit
and stood twenty-fourth iu a class cf
53. He stood tenth in mnthematfoR.
twenty-third iu drawing, but was be- i
low the middle in ethics and French. ,
In his third year he rose in his drawing
to 19, and was twenty-second iu chem
istry and fifteenth iu philosophy, which
was a very good standing indeed. He
rose to 20 in general merit, 16 in en
gineering, 17 in mineralogy and geology,
but was a little below the average in
ethics, artillery and infantry practice.
In general, it may be said that he left ,
the academy with a good average record
as a student and a very high record as a
man. Hamlin Garland in McGIure's.
