THURSDAY, OCTOBER
Cokipllmentary.
Tho Nebraska City News compli
ments the ntwly" elected officers of
the State Boari of Agriculture as fol
lows: The State Boaid of Agriculture paid
a deserved compliment to Col. Rob' t
W. Furnas of Crawnville, by re-electing
him President and selecting
Brownville as the point at which the
next-State Pair of Nebraska is to be
held.
The Vice Presidents of the State
Agricultural Society of Nebraska, are
ex-Gov. Saunders of Omaha, and J. S.
Morton of Nebraska City.
uov. Saunders has lone been known
as a faithful friend to the farming in
terests of the State, and we ure glad to
chronicle his election.
Louis A. Walker, the pioneer far
mer of Dougles county has been re
eiectod'Treastiferf the Htate BoftftT
of Agriculture. This is right and just
tribute to one of the best men in Ne
braska. I
Charles II. Walker. Secretary
of the State Society of Agriculture,
having served faithfully and well, for
two yetrs, declined a re-election to
that houoroua and responsible position.
Mr. Walker has been a very enthusi
astic and hard-working friend of Ag
riculture in this State, and is entitled
to the gratitude of the people.
Maj. D. H. Wheeler, of Plattsmouth,
the popular and efficient Mayor of
that nourishing city has been elected
Secretary of the State Board of Agri
culture. Maior Wheeler is a gentleman "of
the first class," and will brine, to his
new duties business abilities of the fin
est ordor. .
We congratulate the Board upon his
selection to this honorable and respon
sible position.
The Nebraska City Press says :
Had the Fair been a failure it could
not Have teen laid to the officers of
the Board.' They did all that living
practical men could do, to makn the
exhibition just what was expected of
it. An Agricultural Society that has
for its President such a man as Col.
Furnas, has great reason to congratu
late itself, He is not only a thorough
business man, but an accomplished
horticulturist and more or less con
versed with Agricolture and stoci
raising. . The Secretary, Charley
Walker, was on tho ground at all
hours, ever ready and willing to ac
commodate every one that had btsi-
ness with him. The General Super
intendent, Oliver Bannon, worked as
no man works unless his whole heart
is in the work. Judge Mftiod was at
it from morning till night, enlisted as
deeply I as when chaining a jury or
. . i . i
selling uuck some ousirvi'eruu; iuv j. ei
These t ere the officers at whose hands
the mot-t activity was required and
to say that every demand was prompt
ly met Js but to utter the truth. To
the Superintendents oi an various de
partments uothins but the utmost
credit is due for activity and close at-
The reporters present at the lair
were placed under obligations to the
chief Marshall, J. W. Moore, for his
thouehtfullness in funiishinr a table
iu the Keporter a Jinll lor ronortonal
use. The reporter ofthe Press wishes
properly to acknowledge the many
favors receiven at the hands of Col
Furiiis, .Secretary Walker ahd - his
obliging assistants, the Messrs. Sayre.

Col. Robert W. Furnas justly holds
a leadincr n not tne nrst position
among the workers in Nebraska Agri

been his great speciality, he has al
wavs been a busy and intelligent
advocate of Agricultural interests in
general. Few, if any, have done
more to present our claims 10 me
world in this department, and few, if
any, deserve so much praise for steady
and sustained labor, intelligently di

has done for.our State and country.
We take care to award Col b urnas
all credit for his ceasless exertions
against many opposing obstacles iu

As its President, aided by the active
efforts of Mr. Charles H. Walker, Its

The Honey Emptying Machine.
The above engraving represents the
honey emptying machine, devised in
Germany, as now improved and used
quite extensively iu this country.
It consists of an outer frame or tub,
with a revolving frame within, having
two sides covered with fine wire cloth
through which the honey passes from
the comb on the inside and against
the wire case, being thrown out by
centrifugal force. By the use of this
machine the comb may be emptied
and returned to the hive, saving much
time for the bees", in comb building,
increasing the honey collected during
the rich honey harvests, besides often
affording empty cells for the queen
when the colony would be otherwise
greatly weakened, as a surplus of hon
ey often occupies room that should be
devoted to breeding. Sealed brood is
not injured, nor will eggs or pollon be
removed by the operation, but young
larvie and honey uncapped will soon
quit the cells when the machine is
once in motion. Hence combs with
uncapped brood should not be taken,
and cealed honey must be uncapped.
By usidg a knife with a bent "hank
like a brick mason'strowel, but short
er, and dipping it frequently in boil
ing water, to prevent the edge from
clogging, two cards of comb can be
emptied clean and dry in five minutds,
and returned to the hive. The honey
ie clear the flavor unimpaired, even
vrhen taken from old dark combs
partly filled with bee-bread, which
would injure both flavor and color of
the honey, was extracted by neatmg
or pressure. The honey put up in
self-sealing glass fruit jars sells rapid
ly for nearly the same price perpound
as the finest "Lox honey and aside
from mere show is more preferable for
table use.
The machines are public property
and as anyone is free to make them,
we will give a more minute descrip
tion. The size and depth of both the inncj
and outer case will depend upon the
size of the frame to be used. The out
er case Is made water tight, a tub or
part of a barrel may be used and only
needs to be large enough to allow the
inner case to revolve without con
tact. The upright shaft sets in an
auger hole in cross piece at the bottom
and passes thicugh a hole in a strip
across the outer case. The ends and
bottom of the inner case are mide of
boards about ten inches wide, vrith a
strip rrom corner to corner on each
edge of end pieces at top on which to
hail the wire and the strip in the cen
ter through which the shaft passes, is
about four inches wide, leaving room
on eacn side to insert and remove
combs. They are made with and
without gearing, with, gearing, as
above they sell for $12 to $1-3 and with
out gearing they are provided with a
horizontal crank at the top of the
shaft and sell from $10 to $12. When
a tub or shaft is used for an outer case,
the casting or gearing and material
for inner case should not cost more
than $-5. II. A. K.

Mr. Cartwright was introduced, and
was received with many expressions
of applause. He had been called a
strong m.m, but to-day he felt weak
as a child, to overcome was he by this
manifestation of the Idve and esteem
of his fellow Christians. He was the
oldest preacher in the Methodist
Church, now engaged in the ministry.
For sixty years lie had labored for
Lord and Master, ana during that
time he had only received at three
times the amounts allowed him by
the church. He had the oldest
fireacher's wife in the world, and had
i.ved hapily with her for sixty years.
He had seven children, and sixty
grand and great-grand children. He
was born in Virginia, and had been a
citizen of the West from the iime he
was six years old, and now he is
eighty-five years. He had no langu
age to describe the situation of his
country at the time. He had suffered
in body, mind and purse. lie had
been caught five hundred miles from

A Warning from the Prison
Ccl
Charles Orme, recently executed for
murder at Stroudsburg. Pa., attributed
all his sufferings and crimes to the
use of intoxicating honors. Prior to
his execution lie sent the following
letter to the Philadelphia Inquires,
with a request that it be published in
tii at naner :
Stkoupskurg jail. I write this,
in hope that it may le the means of
some young man from the path that
leads to hell Mights and ruins in this
world, and fixes destiny in the next,
amidst the darkness of eternal night;
for the sacred vol u mo declares. 'No
drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom
of God.' Oh, that I could portray the
horrors springing from the hrst glass,
you would shun it as jou would shun
the road in which death, in its most
hideous form, was lurking; would to

or passion strong drink can bring up
on its poor deluded victims, for tnen
I wauld have had kind friends to

they gazed into my tomo; put now
my earnest prayer to God is, that no
one who ever knew may ever hear
anything about me. May God in his
mercy, grant that no more innocent
people may suffer on my account."
"Oh, young man by all you hold
dear, shun the cup, the fatal cup if
not for your own sake, in God's name
shun it for the sake of those you hold
so dear. You may think you are able
to take a drink and leave it alone
when you wish; let me entreat you,
don't try the experiment, for when it
gets ho!'', it rarely ever lets go. It not
only dcslVo'yes 'j'ou but friends must
sutler ol-n. It may bring a kind and

sorrow. Th? things are of daily occur

has inci.Vd tin mother to murder her
innocent hah?, the husband to Imbrue
his hands in the blood of his wife, for
whom he would willingly have laid
downhi3 own life. Pause,, think well
before you touch' the fatal cup!
Remember.you not only Venture your
own prospect, and happiness, but all
you hold sacred is involved. Don't
say, I can take a drink and then
leave off; the chances are against
you; and even - if it does not, is
it right? Is. it honorable to
risk the happiness of others to
gratify your own evil appetite?
Would to God, that one year ago, I
could have seen strong driuk as it
really is, stripped of all the ornaments
thrown over it by those engaged in
the trafic ; could only have seen it as
a sure road to ray present unhappy
condition, in a felon's cell, with the
prospect of a shameful death; Is it
surprising that I should try to save
others from the same fate? I know
that I have not the talent or educa
tion to plead the cause of temperance,
but I can tell what the use of intoxi
cating drinks has done for me. Can I
do less under the circumstances, than
give a word of advice to some though t
Iosss ones? Praying (if so great a sin
ner as I can pray) that God may bless
it, and make its truthfullness do what
hearing could not, le the means of
saving some one from a drunkard's
end."
"For one short moment let your.i
fancy carry you to this call. You will
see me write-this with my hands iron
ed ; irons are on my limbs, and I'm
chained to the floot. Do you ask
what brought me here? I must say
whiskey. Is it strange that I should
lift a warning voice agasnst that
which has done me so much harm""?
Thank god I have not lost all feding.
There are those on earth seperateu
from me by 'the great waters ' who
believe and trust that (wherever lam)
I am honest and respected. God for

Oh. is it not hard to nrav to God that

friends may never hear aoout you. or
you from them, when one word would
be more precious than untold treasur
ers.
"A kind word from a stranger Is
treasured up as something precious
as God knows it is to me. To keep
you from such a condition, 1 write
this, hoping you Will take it in the
spirit in which it is given. I write it
earnestly and sincerely, trusting that
God may bless it to your use. If you

Heaven help you to cast the accursed

may be greeted with a laugh or a jeer.
No matter you ilrt respect. How
often I have wished I could say no,
and stick to it, when asked to take a
drink, but my 'guess not,' or 'think
not.' was always taken for yes, or If I
said no, it was known that I did not
always stick to it. A companion who
worked by my side was never asked
but once, for his 'no' meant no ! Try
the power of an emphatic no, when
asked to do wrong, is the advice of
one who has lost all for the want of a
little firmness at first. If I only
could tell you all that I have lost -lost
friends, home, character and all that
makes life dear, through driflk, by
not saying 'no' when asked to do
wrong. 1 could have said it, I knew
right from wrong, but I flattered my-
seii mat i could go so far ana then

His mercy grant that this may k.-ep

Care ot 1200(4 and Shoes.
Boots and shoes, if taken care of
properly, will generally last two or
three times longer than they usually
do, and, at the same time, fit the feet
far more satisfactory, and keep them
dry and more comfortable in wet and
cold weather. The upper leather
should be kept soft and pliable, while
the teles need to bo bard, tough and
impervious in water. The first thing
to be done with any new pair of shoes
for farm use is to set each one on a
platter or an old plate, and pour on
boiled linseed oil sufficient to fill tho
vessel to the upper edge of the soles.
Let the leather absorb as much oil a
it will for eight hours. Linseed oil
should not be applied to the upper
leather, as it will soan become dry,
rendering the leather hard and tough;
but if the soles be saturated with this
oil, it will exclude dampness and en
large the pegs, so that the sole will
never get loose from the upper leath
er. If the shoes be sewed, the linseed
oil will preserve the thread from rot
ting. Now, wet the upper leather
thoroughly when the boots or shoes
are to be put on the feet, so that those
parts which are tight may render a
trifle, and thus adapt the form of the
shoe to the foot far more satisfactorly
than when the upper leather Is not
wet. Keep them on the feet until tho
itr.ther is nearly dry. Then give the
upper leader a thorough greasing
with equal parts ot lird and tallow,
or with tailaw and neat's-foot oil. If
shoes be treated in this manner, and
and a row of rcand-headed shoe nails
be driven around the edge of the soles,
they will wear like copper, and al
ways set easy to the feet. Boots and
shoes should be treated as suggested,
aud worn a little several months be
fore they are put to daily service.
This is the true way to save your shoe
money.
