INSTITUTE. The farmers' institute held at Garfield February 11th, was one of special interest to the farmers of the northeast part of Lincoln coun ty. Garfield table and its adjoin ing settlements comprise one of the loviiest, most picturesque and fertile districts in western Ne braska. Skirted on the east by the canyons which lead to the valley of Sand Creek, extending to the north where the bluffs form the southern limits of the valley of the South L.oup, stretching to the west past Whitiier and beyond Myrtle and to the south through the famous corn and grass belts of TYillard within these limits lies a table ntteen or twenty miles square, rarely sur passed in beauty of landscape, rich swards of a variety of grasses upon which thrive the numerous small herds of cattle and horses. A farm ing- and "razing district dotted over with homes whose occupants areas industrious and as successful as can be found in like situated dis tricts in the west. To the push and energy of this district is due oar farmers' institute organization. The institute was called to order by the secretary, who stated that on account of the unavoidable ab sence of the regularly elected presi dent a president pro tern would have to be elected. On motion C. C. Beckwith was unanimously elected. Atter briefly and cour teously thanking the institute for the honor, he stated the object of the meeting was purely in the in terest of the farmer and after a further statement of the meaning and intent of the institute as being non-political in every way, a motion was carried to appoint the follow ing committee on entertainment for future institutes: Garfield, John Clark; Harrison. J. M. Alexander: Kilmer, E. A Thornbursr.Mvrtle, S. A. Dieli, Whit tier, H. F. Price. E. F. Stephens, president of the state horticultural society, was in vited to occupy the remaining time the afternoon session. It was desired to have so many topics dis cussed that Mr. Stephens could only touch on a few of the points requisite to successful butter mak- cattle feeding, hog raising. conservation of moisture and horti cultural in general. Mr. Stephens complimented the society on the energy and activity of the institute. He said that in many places where he had been sent and asked to lecture he had to drum np a crowd after arriving on the ground. This probably comes from a dilatory exercise of the privilege of farmers' institutes or a misconception of their intent. After listeni jg to Mr. Stephens' very interesting lecture for a couple of hours the institute adjourned until seven o'clock p. m. EVEXIXG SESSION. Meeting called to order by president-elect Beck with. Upon special invitation Miss Rachel Caress very beautifully and appropriately recited "The Gypsey Flower Girl," which brought forth a storm of ap-. plause at the close. M. I. Caress then gave a short talk on what farm boys should be taught. He said in substance that never in the history of the world were there more nrgent demands for educated men amonjf o the farm- ers. That this great country of ours had a right to still exist as the first and foremost nation of the earth; that our boys should be taught to originate ideas and thoughts and thus better fit them tor the life that now is and the one to come. Mr. Stephens was again invited to talk to themstitnte the remain ing part of the evening. He related his experience in farming in Cali fornia, where there is not so much rainfall as in Nebraska, and al though the two points geographic ally were widely apart in matters ot conservation of soil moistuTe' there were many processes in com- mon. -tie demonstrated the fact of holding and retaining the nnused moisture in the soil, thus increas ing from year to year the depth of moisture which might very effectu ally tide us over a drouth year, should it occur. He carefully ex plained tue Campbell method and ! brought out many worthy points I and facts. On the subiect of rai' ing fruit he mentioned the fact that ' small fruit had been very success fully raised and disposed' of a.t re munerative prices, in central and western Jxebraska. The market for currants and cherries had never been overstocked and he thought they could he successfully raised here, especially on the low lands where there was no alkali. So many points were brought out and so well pleased were the members of the institute that at the close of the lecture Mr. Stephens was given a vote or thanks and an urgent in vitation to return at some future meeting. The institute then adjourned. T7. A. Gregg, Sec'y Farmers Dist. In. A BEJflAL.

It would not look well for the lejris- ture to offer advice to congress about the management of cafes in the national capitol, at the same time ignoring thirst-quenches in the basement of the Nebraska state house. An investigation of the basement here may result in more iccess to the investigators than has been accorded to populist smelling committees heretofore this session. Journal. Prominent authorities interested in the irrigation of Scott's Bluff county believe it will be but a com paratively short time until the pres ent state ownership of water as set out in the Wyoming constitution will be set aside by the federal courts. The people of Wyoming in fact are as willing now to have this done as Xebraskans. Should this ever be done the state line between Nebraska and Wyoming would be practically wiped out.

Judge Curry of Pender issued seven marriage licenses Friday of last week to members of the tribe of Winnebago Indians.

The greater portion of this acreage will be in Hall and Merrick counties in close proximity to the factory. From figures secured by the Au burn Post there have been 160 car loads of apples shipped from Nem aha county the past season, the cars averaging over 500 bushels, the total number being S9J26 bush els. The nrice oaid for the annles X"X been from 25 to 35 cents per bushel. The total amount of money paid to the farmers was S25,- 226. Nixe American millionaires who were themselves the architects of the great fortunes they possess, re cently answered in print the ques tion, "Does wealth brinr haDoi- ness?" Their replies were monot- ous in returning- a verdict that it does not, but that the immense prosperity which has crowned the business activity of their lives has instead but fastened weary bur dens upon tired backs. Each one in the course of his answer recalled the littleness of his beginning- and with pride spoke of the rough vi"-or and independence of his humbler days, announcing- that the freedom from anxietv and abundance of en ergy and hope was more blissful than are the latter days of fruition with the accompanying- risks and responsibilities. Now we, who do not know where the nest meal is to come from, are inclined to smile a bit at the gloom of these' replies. Tet they have a pathetic side. The life of a man is far more maonifi- o cent than any fortune. The "-old- maker is more than the gold. Riches come through the use of the intellect It is but once to a man. then why should he hold himself cheap and hold dollars high? It makes little odds how we are dieted or dressed, or what sort of roof turns tue rain irom off our heads: ! but to escape from false ties, to con tribute to the well-beingr of his fel low-men and to maintain simple and beautiful relations does reward every man with a grand and happv lile.

A factory in the West End of Lon don is now manufacturing- from baker's bread, artificial fiotvers, so natural in appearance as to deceive the eye of an expert. The process still remains secret, although 100 hands are employed. The flowers not only look exactly like the real article when freshly made, but as the bread becomes stale thev as sume a slightly withered appear ance, almost identical with afiower beginning-to fade. The coloring is perfectly natural, rendering- them entirely different in this respect from artificial flowers heretofore manufactured. It is believed that for the garniture of evening- gowns and for house decorations thev will oecome exceedingly popular. Afci present they are very expensive. There is said to be a factory in New York, on East Bleecker street. ! which is obtaining- equally g-ood re- suits -with the use of pith of the Japaneese fan palm.
