Replies to “Stayer.” Minkoi.a, Nku , May 23, '03. In Tins Frontier of May 12 there appeared an article signed "Staver;” let me pen a few words in explanation. In the first place the Nebraska far mer. "even inclusive of Ilolt county farmers," Is a member of this iarge family of 03,000,000 of Uncle Bain's children and ns such it is to the interest of the Nebraska farmer as well ns the whole family to work to the very best advantage in producing wealth. "The Nebraska farmer’s share in this work is to procure food.” Senator Ingnls said in a speech that there arc 15,000,000 peo ple in the United States who had not half enough to cat. This proves that there is not raised any too much food, taking it over a period of a -half dozen years or so. Now we would like to know how "Stayer" proposes to feed this family and nbout 100,000,000 more living in other oountrics, if he were to depend ou the hand hoc and other prim itive tools? I don't say but that the farmer can make a fair living with these implements for his family but there can’t bo very much left to trade to the balance of the people for other things that wo may need, and besides does he fill his destiny in that way? Now then Providence has endowed humanity with a faculty for inventing machinery in this age for a purpose, and if there is any place on God’s earth where Im proved machinery can be used to advan tage it is in Nebraska, and especially in Ilolt county, whore it is no unusnl thing to plow a furrow 10 miles liyig aria from ono point bo able to see every foot of it. The Nebraska farmer is therefore above all others entitled to uso good machinery. Next wo have heard a good deal about learving their plows and machines out side of a tool house. Let us inform these good city editors that everything is made of steel and iron and is not ef fected by the elements, besides they are safer outside than in a tool house where they might accidentally be destroyed by fire. Further lot me tell “Stayer” that so rapid are the improvements in ma chinery that it woulti'be very unprofit able to work the twine binder of four years ago beside the binder of to-day. Does not eyery one know that the three wheeled sulky plow runs one-third lighter than the old two wheeler? Of course "Stayer” does not propose that the Nebraska farmer shall ride nt all but ; . use the hand spike plow and hoe. But the Nebraska farmer lives but one life as far as is known and one way or other he has a faculty for getting tired of keoping cm his legs for 13 hours in the soft soil and often wishes at night that somebody would dig a graye and bury him. Ono man can make but a small show with a hoe on a 330 acre farm, and it is cheaper to buy machines and mules than hire men. The Nebraska farmer, especially the homesteader, had but a light plug team when he first came. Breaking prairie and afterwards subrsoiling to a good depth on the heavy blue joint sod is the hardest kind of work and ho soon found that his team was on an equality with putting children to roll 8 feet diameter red wood logs. It is proven that when three-quarters of the ground in adjoining counties is under cultivation that it increases the rain fall. I don’t say that it will prevent drought altogether. Now were we all to follow tho method of ‘Mr. “Stayer” ' and only break what we are able to with our plug teams there would be drought all the time and “Stayer” would be glad to get a $1,000 loan too, and shake Nebraska dirt from his feet. The condition of the Nebraska farmer after 5 years residence was a dilapidated sod house and stable that he generally had to build up every year. Froabably by doubling up teams with his neighbor he had been able to break 80 acres on which he had been able to raise (be tween droughts) enough to feed the team and a few cattle. *In the mean time he had run in debt, say $75 a year with his store keeper, whfcbt.at the end of five years would * amount to $400. God knows that wasn.t very high living. Now supposing he got a loan of $800. Probably he was in debt $100 for inu ; chinery, his family had had but the scantiest of clothing for a long time and f 100 vent for clothing. He needs 9150 vorth of lumber for a house and 950 for a granary and stable. Now he has 980 interest to pay, $40 in taxes, at the same time he has not been able to increase the producing capacity of the farm or bring it into a money making condition. The interest was not forth coming and every few days he would get a notice from the loan company in which they threatened foreclosure. Blue murder! They simply scared the Ne braska farmer away. Those who got a loan and left immediately did the best every time. Now let me inform “Stayer” that the trouble was not in getting a loan but in not getting one three times as large. The Nebraska farmer could ensier pay three times as much interest when he has good barns, good house, good ma chinery, a bunch of good cattle and an irrigation system, which I shall prove. And those who furnished the money i ought to have looked into the condition intelligently to say the least. Now given that the Nebraska farmer, or rather homesteader, takes'up 320 acres of government land, he should, to j save 5 years of time, get his loan of I $3,000 immediately, precautions taken that the $3,000 is used to improve the farm. Amount invested as follows: Pivo mules. $000; one hinder, $125; one gang sulky plow, $00; mower, $10; other agricultural implements, $75; lum ber for barn, $500; for house, $250; a thirty-horse power irrigation wind mill, rigged for machinery, pump grinder, feed cutter, $100; 5-acre reservoir, $100; ten cows, $150; 350 bushels rye seed, $125; alfalfa and blue grass seed $50; fence posts, wire fence to fence out cat tle and hogs, $100; old separator, $100; extra, $25; total, $3,000. We will sup pose that the farmer has $250 of his own tlint he can use for any labor that lie may hire, and provisions for one year. Plan of operations. With the five mules he can break the 820 acres in 100 days. As 140 or more acres should be sowed in to blue grass, it docs not mat ter that it is broke out of season. 320 acres sown to rye should yield 4,000 bushels. The first years crop is worth $1000 gross receipt. In your further op erations, supposing you raise ten steer culves every year (or trade a heifer calf for a steer) let the calves go with their mothers keep them growing winter and summor and at 3 years of age they are worth $800 or $9()0 and with other stuff augment your income to $1,000. Your interest on the $3,000 at 0 per cent is $180, taxes $45. You have $250 for clothing and groceries. Fruit trees and forest trees raised by irrigation fur nish you apples and wood. $500 a'year can be applied to paying principal You are sure of a crop every year be cause you are provided with an irriga tion system. You can figure for your self tbat more than $1,000 worth can be raised. 00 bushels corn to the acre ground and mixed with cut tame bay fed to steers, and every thing else in proportion. Interest could be paid on a much larger loan with this outfit even In Holt county. Now Mr. Stayer you have a No. 1 rig, you can ride when you are tired. You have a barn where, after you have cut your hay, you can stow it away in a mow where half of it won’t spoil and where you won’t have to dig it out from under a big snow drift in a blizzard. If you have 80 acres of corn you can cut it in four days with a binder, haul it home and thresh it in your threshing machine. You have 40 or 50 head or cattle in a roomy stall in the barn, the feed is al ready prepared by your windmill, and the whole of them can be tended in i three hours a day. Farming is then a pleasure, your wife has many more con veniences than she hud in, a sod house. But it takes money to make the start. And let me advise all of those eastern capitalists that before they get any in terest on their money they must advance a good deal more. Renters won’t do. They dont take enough interest in it for the thorough farming required. S. P. Gibson, KEELEY COCK-TAILS. Oakdale Guard: We have returned from the O’Neill Keeley institute cured safe and sound of any desire or taste for damnation juice, fusil oil or Jersey lightuing, feeling more vigorous and clear in mind and body than we have 1 felt for twenty years. There is but one luxury that we can call to mind for which we have an appetite, and that is not insatiable. The only fear that tor tures us is that some Wall street gold bug will kidnap us and extract the gold, one thousand flye hundred drops of which permeates our delicate system. Ham Kautzman says: “Hundreds of our lady friends desired to embrace us when we returned from the Keeley in stitute, but we dared not submit to such reckless liberalities in respect for oui wife. She would feel agrieved—if she found it out.” She did not keep posted while you were with us, Ham, but we'll not peep a wotd. nest Point Republican: John Hart returned from the O'Neill Keeley insti tute Wednesday and is loud in bis praise of that institution. Before his return be proved up on bis timber claim in Holt county._ Jimmy Donkam editor of the Butte Banner, soliloquizes thus: “As an il lustration of the benefits to be derived from the Keeley treatment we might mention the fact that we have received a copy of the Emerson Enterprise, a neatly printed, well edited paper pub lished by Packard & Swenson. The paper is well filled with attractive ad vertisements, which bespeaks for the publishers smooth sailing on the jour nalistic sea. Less than six months ago Mr. Packard, the main man of the firm, was a financial, moral and physical wreck, we might say. holding down a jim crow job on a Dakota county sheet, and receiving as compensation for his services an occasional link of bologna, a few crackefs aud what “sagwa” was required to keep his hellish hide com fortably moist, and it is not doing Mr. Packard an injustice, perhaps, to say that his services were dear at that price, for as a general rule the man whose skin is constantly soaked with “snake juice” is not worth the room he takes up in this wild and wooly world, let his nat ural abilities be ever so good. But Mr. Packard concluded to try the Keeley cure. To-day he is a sober, industrious man among men, surrounded by friendB and prospects for a bright and happy future. To the Keeley treatment and friends who enabled him to take it Mr. Packard owes this very gratifying change. His case is only one of many thousands where Dr. Keeley has fairly snatched the unfortunate inebriate from the very jaws of a disgraceful death and restored him to his friends a useful and respectful man, and a living evidence of the efficacy of the truly wonderful treat ment which to-day is doing more to- I ward reforming drunkards and cheering up heartbroken wiveB and mothers than all the prohibition orators this side of New Jersey. The writer might mention many others without going so far from home for “samples” as be knows how it is himself. Now lea us give you a little advice: If you are a victim of alcohol, life a black and dreary cloud, old-time ftiends all gone and the last ray of sun shine rapidly sinking behind life’s wes tern hill, get a quick-train move on, grab your hst, if you are'fortunate to have one, and take a bee line for the Keeley institute at O’Neill. Thay can save you. If you don’t you’re a gone goose. Horticultural Hints. I’se the ashes in the orchard. Care and fertilizers make good fruit. I)o not allow twigs to start out on the trunks. Coal ashes make a good mulch for the quince. The soil should be kept from baking hard around the trees. In growing fruit for market quality is placed as the lust essential. Cloan, fresh fruits and vegetables will sell while others will be a drug. To keep blackberries and raspber ries in their placo requires constant attention. a largo uncared-for orchard is a nuisance on the farm and rarely proves profitable. Tho fruiting of the orchard is the end of culture and everything should lond to that end. In very many cases the small cities afford the best markets for nearly all kinds of small fruits. When they can be secured con veniently leaves are tho beet materials that can be used for mulching. With the young orchard All the va cant places with new trees so that all of the ground can be occupied. A yard or lawn looks bare without some choice ornamental trees. Hut care must be taken not to overdo. Mildew is the worst enemy of the gooseberry; keeping thinned out will help materially to prevent this. An application of animal manure will often holp materially to bring an old orchard into profitable bearing. It is strange, but it is tho fact that fruit of fine appearance sells better than that of a better quality but less showy. Household Helps. Place dishes of charcoal or quick lime in sink cupboards or other damp corners. Never relay a carpet until the floor Is perfectly dry, or the tacks will rust and injure the carpet. Carpets in daily use should have the breadths ripped apart- and reversed, to bring the most wear on to different parts. If a cellar is damp and musty it is well to add a little copperas to the lime, which is used in whitewashing the side walls. A wooden meat-skewer is very con venient for cleaning in the corners of sash and other woodwork, and no ma terial makes as nice cleaning cloths as old worn underwear. In mending a carpet by patching, let the pieces extend across a breadth from seam to seam, and they will show far less, as they need not bo caught down at the edges. Beds should be frequently washed with cold water, and tho frames and slats painted with spirits of turpen tine, in order to avoid trouble that oc casionally comes to even tho best of housekeepers. Never put down stair carpets with out pads underneath. They wear much longer, and are much easier to use. An old ■ 'tack’' or heavy bed quilt, cut in proper-sized pieces, an swers the purpose. Windows are easier cleaned and have a far higher polish if a little al cohol or ammonia is added to the wa ter and no soap used. After rubbing dry with a cloth, polish with chamois •or pieces of newspaper. All mattressos and pillows should have covers made of unbleachod mus lin. and tied or buttoned at the end. to protect tho ticks. These do not re quire washing of tone;- than every six months, und are a real saving. Lace or other drapery at windows should be changed from top to bottom or from one side to the other, to pre vent the sun from shin ug on tho same place, as It is this heat that onuses them to become tender and break. Poultry «*tcklnr». j Hub sweet oil over the heads for roup. Uoiling roots makes them a better poultry food. Properly managed, fowls are good manure makers. Keep the fowls healthy by supply ing all that their natures demand. Poultry may be made profitable or prove a nuisance as they are managed. It is always best to have the hen houso separate from the other build ings. Much of the complaint of bad eggs is due to carelessness .In gathering them up. The Pekin is the best breed of ducks to raise when there is no pond or streams. While it is true that ducks are enor mous eaters, they also make a rapid growth. In starting with improved poultry, do not make the mistake of attempt ing to keep too many kinds. A hard floor is objectionable with young fowls, for the reason ’that it often causes lameness and often de formed feet. The best rule for feeding poultry, whether young or old, is to supply a good variety, and this holds good whether feodlng for eggs or market The ideal poultry house combines wawnth, ventilation, light and dry ness with convenience, but it need not be by any means an expensive struct ure. Some recommend the mixing of bone dust with the soft feed, as it aids to prevent diarrhoea, and espe cially for the laying hens, as it helps to give them material for egg shells. Home Hints. Always sift all flour before using it For convenience,* a quantity may be sifted apart in a close covered pail, so as to be ready in cases of emergency. Before commencing to wash tbe wood finish of a room, dust it thor oughly, especially on the top of win dows. doors, picture rail and base board. Then clean the floor first. Wall paper may be cleaned and made to look much fresher by rubbing with soft cloths dipped in oatmeal, if the cloths are changed often and never used when dusty, otherwise it will look worse than at first. Feather beds and p:llows should be thoroughly aired and the ticks changed, if necessary. But do not hang or lay them in- the hot sun. for this will draw out the oil and make them foul rather than pure. Never iron a calico dress on the right side; if ironed smoothly on the wrong side, there will be no danger of white spots and gloss, which gives a new dress, • done up" for the first time, the appearance of a time-worn garment Beeswax and salt will make your rusty flat-irons as clean and smooth as glasa Tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot, rub them first with the wax rag, then scour them with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt Sapolio, or a little borax or pearline added to the water, will not in jure un varnished paint The latter, if dark colored. should be cleaned with tea wiped dfy and polished with a woolen cloth. But do not use tea on light colored or oiled woodwork, lest it stain. A pretty wedding gift is the combi nation set of the long glove, handker chief and nightdress cases together with the toilet cushion, all made to match in design and treatment. They are made of white silk and embroid ered in orange blossoms. A frill of pinked Bilk and lace edges them. Linen should be carefully inspected from time to time before being seut to the laundry; and after a piece is re paired, it should be carefully washed and ironed, and laid aside until all the contents of the linen closet have been successfully scrutinized, used and again laundered. A break in linen is almost doubled in size, and is rendered much more difficult to mend neatly if the article is first washed and wrung, then dried in a windy place, and lastly starched and ironed. In a recent letter to the proprietors, Mr. H. M. Bangs, the drnggist at Chats wortb, 111., says; "I am very much pleased with Chamberlain’s cough rem edy. During the epedemic of la grippe here it took the lead and was very much better liked than other cough medi cines.” The grip requires precisely the same treatment as a very severe cold, for which this remedy is so efficient. It will promptly loosen a cold and relive the lungs, soon affecting a permanent cure, while most other medicines in common use for colds only give tem porary relief. 50 cent bottles for sale by P. C.
