The department of agriculture at Washington has issued its monthly crop report, and has this to say of Nebraska: Nebraska—Quite a percentage of new corn has been fed and cribbed. The whole growing season was rampant and protracted to an unusually late date. When the ripening season set in the weather was favorable, and like tho plant growth, ripening was too rapid and imperfect, and as n natural result the actual value anticipated was not realized, notwithstanding which wo still have a corn crop better in total *e suits than ever before produced in this state. Reports generally as to Irish potatoes are of the best both as to quantity and quality, and indicate a crop much larger than was anticipated. Hay is reported exceptionally favorable, both as to yield per acre and quality. Apples are gathered and results are bet ter than growers expected. There is a large demand for this fruit and prices are ranging from 50 to 60 cents per bushel for hand-picked winter varieties. Science in Bread Making. At the recent annual meeting of tlie American Chemical society, held in Washington, D. C., the question of the value of carbonate of amonia as a leav ening agent in bread, or as used in bak ing powders, came up for discussion, in which Prof. Barker, of the University of Pennsylvania, and president of the society; Dr. Richardson late of the United States department of Agricul ture in Washington; Dr. Win. Mc Mutne, late professor of Chemistry in the University of Illinois; Dr. H. Bartley, late chemist of Brooklyn N. Y., Board of Health, and Prof, of chem istry of the Long Island College, and others took-part. The consensus of opinion was over whelming in favor of the employment of amonia. It was stated as a fact that amonia rendered the gluten of the flour more soluble than the original glu teu, and that the bread in which this action was produced by carbonate of amonia must be more digestablc and hence more healthful, and because of the extreme volatility of carbonate of amonia and its complete expulsion from the bread in the process of baking, it is one of the most useful, most healthful and most valuable leavening agents known. , These conclusions arc borne out by the very elaborate anu exhaustive ex periments made by Prof. J. W. Mallet of the University of Virginia, which show conclusively that bread made with baking powder in which one per cent of carbonate of amonia is used, in connec tion with cream of tartar and soda, is not only of uniformly better color and texture, but a product more wholesome because the amonia serves to neutralize any organic or lactic acids present in the flour. Nebraska Dairymen’s Association. The seventh annual convention of this association will be held at Norfolk, in Madison county, December 15, 16, and 17, 1891. The sole object of this association which is a state organiza tion, is to encourage and develop the dairy industry of the state, and to this end we invite the co-operation and sup port of all citizen&pf the state, who are interested directly or iudircctly, in this most important industry . The work of the association is largely of a mission ary nature, and for this reason the an nual conventions are held at conven ient points in the slate in order that people generally may, in time, have an opportunity to receive the benefits of such a meeting at comparatively qpiull expense. Not only will practical and success ful dairymen and creamerymen of the state be present to take an active part in the work of the next convention, but in order that the greatest possible bene fit may be derived by those who attend, arrangements have been made, at con siderable expense, to secure the attend ance of men from the older dairy sec tions of our country, meu whose^good judgement and large experience in the dairy industry has given them a national reputation. An interesting programme is being prepared for this annual meeting. After the reading of each paper there will be ample time for discussion of the same, in which all are invited to participate. Any person who desires to prepare a papet relating directly or indirectly to the dairy industry is hereby invited to do so. and time will be given for its consideration by the convention. The sessions of the conventions are open and free. Everybody is invited— all are welcome. Norfolk is a flourishing city, and lays claim to being “The Gateway of North ern Nebraska.” It is accessible by rail from all parts of the state, and states east of ours via. Sioux City, Omaha or Lincoln. Norfolk is-not only the cen tre of considerable dairy interests, with a flourishing creamery, but has also in successful operation one of the largest beet sugar factories in the country. For programmes or other information in regard to the convention address the secretary. Dated, Gibbon, Nebraska, Eovember 16. 1891. J. H. Bdshton, Prsident, Fairmont. S. C.

The club is now in excellent work ing order and visitors are invited to call at any time. “Say, I want you to extend nn invi tation to the Democrats and Alliance men to visit our club rooms,” said a member the other day. “Tell the Al liance people through your paper that although they will not allow us to visit them, we nevertheless extend to them an invitntion and wish them to call when in the city. Tell them we have books and papers for them to read and will entertain them as best we can. We would like to see them at any time.” Court Notes.

A Broadway car was temporarily de tallied by a block of traffio at Fulton street, when an old man, who had a seat close to the front door, got up and looked out on each side. Then he opened the front door and looked out that way. Then he tiptoed down the aisle and que ried of the conductor on the rear plat form: “Have we come to a stop?" “Yes, sir.” “Going to stop long?" “Five or ten minutes." “Under such clrcumstanoes la any thing expected of anybody?” “How do you mean?” “Why, shall I sing or make a speech or do somethin to interest the passengers an keep ’em from gittin fightin madovor this thing?” “No, sir. All you have to do is to Wllit/* “That’s all, eh? All right—HI sit down agin.” And he tiptoed back and sat down very carefully on the edge of the seat and held his breath until the car moved on again.—New York Evening World. A Small Boy's Advlo*. A small Scotch boy was summoned to give evidence against his father, who was accused of making a disturbance in the streets. Said the bailie to him, “Come, my wee mon, speak the truth, and let us know all ye ken about this af fair.” “Weel, sir," said the lad, "d’ye ken Inverness street?” “I do, laddie,” replied his worship. “Weel, ye gang along it and turn into the square and across the square’’-— “Yes, yes," said the bailie, encourag ingly. “An when 3-0 gang across the square ye turn to the right and up into High street, and keep on up High street till ye come to a pump.” “Quite right, my lad; proceed," said * his worship. “I know the old pump well.” “Well,” said the boy with the most in fantile simplicity, “ye may gang and pump it, for ye'll no pump me.”—Dublin Times.

An Apt Comparison. “Do you know," she said, as they leaned over the vessel’s rail, “the shape of a ship always reminds me of so many romantic acquaintances." “How can a ship’s shape remind yon of such things?" he asked, puzzled." “Because,” she answered, “it begins with a forward bow and has, alas! a stern ending.”—Baltimore American.
