Nebraska Crops.
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.

Spurned.
"I spurn yon with contempt,” •»
claimed the proud, imperious girl in
haughty tones.
The spurnee was a base born clork in
her father’s ninety-nine cent store.
Ills head fell upon his breast at het
cruel words.
But for an instant only.
Then he hoisted it aloft onoe more, de
fiantly.
"All right,” he said coldly. "That's
better thun being spurned with your
father's boot.”
He had tried both. — Detroit Free

Nothing Kxpocted.
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

All right; I kin go in next door an git

in the world that kin make as good
bread as that is.
Lady of the House—Is that so? Now,

“Because,” she answered, “it begins
with a forward bow and has, alas! a
stern ending.”—Baltimore American.
