SASTSa AT THE CHUECHES. The morning service at the Luth eran church was lengthy and very instructive and interesting. Flow ers were much in evidence and the choir furnished a class ot music that was greatly appreciated by the large and ience present. The services at the Catholic church, particularly at the morning service, were very pretty, the fioral decorations being profuse. An ex ceptionally fine programme of dif ficult Easter music was rendered by the choir. Several of the mem bers sang solos in a very accept able manner. At the Presbyterian church there was a very liberal display of plants and flowers, the altar presenting a very pretty appearance. The choir rendered a fine programme of music and Rev. Verner delivered two dis courses which were pronounced by the audience as exceptionaUy able and instructive. The display of flowers at the Methodist church was liberal and very prettily arranged around the altax. In the rendition of the musi cal part of the service the choir did well and added much to the enjoy ment of the glad day. The sermon by the pastor was a masterly one. In the evening the Sunday school , rendered a very pretty Easter ser- I vice. j The Easter services at the Epis copal church were very pretty and j the large audience present was i treated to good music and excellent sermons. The former was rendered by a choir of thirty voices, accom panied by an orchestra, composed of Messrs. Gariichs, Klein. Alvin Fool, Weingand, Cbas, Pool and Welch. The orchestra was of Treat assistance to the choir in nandlmsr the difficult music The fioral decorations were very profuse, the chancel being banked with potted plants and cut flowers, among the latter being nearly two hundred California lillies. During theatre noon the fcuncav scnool held an Easter festival. The church offer ings for the dav amounted to S243, and the Sunday-school missions $53.77. offering to HOW EAE3HHG PAYS. (Kearney Hub.) In a recent interview with one of Buffalo county's most prosperous farmers the fact was stated that when all farmers paid more alten tion to deversitying crops and raising live stock to consume every thing they raise, prosperity would be more usual in our iarmins" com munities. This calls to mind an other remark made by a city man who had extensive farmins" inter ests. He said: -T raise nothing to sell except hogs and cattle. My corn is not ten-cent corn, but has paid me handsomely, thanks to the condition of the live stock market. Along this line, the Hub finds an item in the Gretna Reporter that is of more than usual interest, and knocks out the theory that ten-cent corn means impoverished farmers. "C. H. Humphry shipped 25 head of fatted cows to the South Omaha market Wednesday, which average 1060 pounds each and sold for 3.85 per cwt., or a total of 1020.25, or 40. SI each. Mr. Humphrey bought these cattle when the average weight was 900 pounds and cost an average of 2.50 per cwt., or about 22.50 each, thus the increase of each cow was $19.50 or a total of $432.50; from this shoeM be deducted the price of fifty bu. of corn fed to each cow at 10 cents per bushel or $125, leaving him a set profit of $375.50. To this should be added one hog for each cow that fattened from the droppings of the cattle. These hogs now weigh about 300 lbs and are worth $12.00 each, at the pres ent price, 4 cents per pound. The hogs weighed about 100 lbs. when put with the cows and at that time were worth 3 cents per pound or $3.00 oer hundred each, this leaving net profit on pork of $9.00 each or 22r dollars which addea to his pront on the cattle, making the net profit 581.50, less than the price of mar keting which would not exceed S1.50. The feeding of the cattle required little, if any more labor than would the hauling of the corn to market. This was done within the past six months and Humphrey has five bead of calces worth 6.00 each that were dropped by some of this bunch of cows, and yet there are people who say there is no money in feeding cattle. Humphrey put 25 head of cattle on the market some time aaro with about the same 1 result, and still has 22 head that he is feeding for the June market. It should be added that the corn fed to these cattle was nearly all soft corn and unmarketable." C0L33IIS5I0irSil' BGtSEDDTGS . April 16th, 1S97.
