DAY-DREAMS.
Just wltbln the cottage door
Babyjplnys upon the noor.
"Wlillo the mother, with her knitting.
On the lowdoor-Btcp Is sitting ;
Ami the golden hummer day
"With the twilight blips nwuy.
Building castles In thenlr,
Seeing visions bright mid fnlr,
Jn that golden hour hazy.
Till the busy hands grow lazy.
And hor work unheeded lies
'.Neath hor far-off dreamy eyes.
.No more tolling day and night.
But a life 80 fair and bright.
That, without a stint or measure.
She is drinking deep of pleasure.
In that visionary sphere
"Which her dreaming brings so near.;
fiho 1b plucking at hor ease
Golden fruits her tasto to please ;
Sho Is lifted in her vision
To the far-off bright Ely-Ian,
While the twilight slowly dies.
And gray shadow All the skies.
But hark ! that merry shout
On the night breeze ringing ont
Sets the bright air-castle falling.
For the fisher's voice Is calling ;
And the mother's dreams are o'er
She's the fisher's wife once more.
Back again from marble halls.
Snug within her cottage walls,
Where the baby must be tended
And homespun garments mended;
And her day-dreams thus are done
With the sitting ot the sun.7

AGRICULTURE.
System and Economy In Farming
Fertilizing Irrigation Won-
dcrful Results.
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
I have been so Interested In peniB
lng the paper, "Agrioulture in Japan,"
by Horace Capron, printed in the an
nual report of the United States de
partment of agriculture for the year
1873, that I have condensed some ol
the more Important points by making
the following extracts which I am
"quite Bure oonnot fall to interest j'our
ngrloultural readers. One important
matter to which I have given much
attention and study for years, is pre
sented so forcibly, I am anxious to
have others who may, per ohance, en
tertain doubts, read what those of
more knowledge and experience have
to say upon this Bubject. I refer to Ir
rigation as a means of increasing the
production of the soil. No region of
oountry on the face of the globe Is bo
admirably adopted for a general sys
tem of Irrigation as that situated be
tween the Missouri river and the east
ern base of the Rocky Mountain".
The fall between these points is just
one mile a distance of six hundred
miles commanding the. waters crea
ted and fed from mountain snows and
disintegration, containing more fer
tilizing properties than can be com
puted almost. Actual experiments
have shown a yield of ninety-five
bushels of wheat and nine hundred
bushels of potatoes to the acre, by ir
rigation with these waters. But I am
digressing.
General Capron, it will be remem
bered, was the Immediate predecessor
of the present United States commis
sioner of agriculture, and has a fame
world-wide as a praotlcal eolentifio
agriculturist, and therefore what he
says upon any subjeot connected with
agriculture is not called in question
by those who know the man. The
General has been In Japan for a num
ber of years In the employ of that
government introducing American
features of agriculture, and thinks in
many respects he can learn muoh from
that people. In this event General
Capron's mission may prove of double
value by receiving as well as Impart
ing valuable Information. In fact
this is an agricultural characteristic
everywhere. Muoh of the practical is
learned of each other by intercourse
and interchange of thoughts and ex
periments. Eobt. W. Furnas.
EXTRACTS FROM HORACE CAPRON' S
"AGRICULTURE IN JAPAN."
The great antiquity of agriculture
In Japan, the rigid adherence to the
most ancient modes of cultivation,
the incomparable cheapness of labor,
the thorough charaoter of the tillage,
the eoonomy and application of fer
tilizers, the extent and completeness
of the system of irrigation, (which
utilizes the whole water-system of the
empire,) and the high and continued
fertility of the soil after thousands of
years of successive cropping?, are all
of the highest Interest to the agricul
turist In America. A general knowl
edge of the oharacter of the Boil and
climate of any country is a condition
al precedent to an Intelligent compre
hension of Its agriculture.
Agriculture in Japan occupies
the same parallels of latitude that it
does in the United States, that is,
from the latitude of the capes of Flor
ida on the south to the latitude of the
British boundary on the north.
Every variety of tree or shrub
known in the temperate and tropical
climates meet and blend so perfectly
here that their influence upon the
climate and rain-fall must not be over
looked. In this connection it may be
proper to say that these uncivilized
people, as they are called, have ad
opted a policy the very converse of
that followed In America and Europe
In relation to these protecting cover
ings of nature. The Japanese gov
ernment have preserved theis forests,
and in fact Insured their Increase. No
license to cut down a tree is granted,
except upon condition that three
more shall be planted and grown In
its stead.
The extreme mildness of the winter
months is best illustrated by the fact
that the tillage and growth of a great
variety of vegetation goes on the same
as In summer, and the fields are as
green as during spring. Thus oomes
the universal practice, unknown to
our agriculture, of following the
harvesting of one kind of crop imme
diately by the planting of another
hind on the same ground. Agricul
ture has no winter of rest and inac
tivity here. The husbandman bows,
and tills, and reaps, through all the
eeasonB, year after year, of his life.
Every month has it- planting lime
for some kind of vegetation, and itB
harvest for others, generally of the
simplest kind of food products.
It is the?e climatic influences, to
gether with a perfect system of irriga
tion, high cultivation of soil, aug
mented by the application of scrupu
lous care and applied with a lavish
hand, that enable the farmers of Ja
pan, without foreign aid, and with
half Us agricultural capabilities un
touched, to supply its denne popula
tion of over 33.000,000 of people.
Japan has a7rain fail as great, and
in some localities greater, than In Al
abama and OreRon, (which have by
far the greatest precipitation of mois
ture in the United States.) In Japan
the nnnual rain fall along the eea
shore Is 5S Inches. In the Interior, at
the foot of the mountain recges, the
fall is much preater, in some places
amounting to 75 inches.
With their great rain-fall,
three times as great as the average of
the United States, and with their
abundance of living streams and
sprlngg, theBe agricultural people have
found Irrigation so useful and benefi
olal that they have constructed a vast
and universal system of Irrigation by
Immense labor. Reservoirs have been
built everywhere on the higher
grourrds, from which a perfect net
work of great and small canals radi
ateB to all the tilled land. The system
of Irrigation known to us as practiced
by the Moors in Spain, by the Aztecs
in Mexico and Peru, and by the an
cients in Egypt and India," was con
fined in limited districts; here it is In
every valley and on every hill side,
and is as old as their occupation of
the islands.
What a lesson Is there here for us
in America! With only one-third of
their rain, with a country compara
tively easy to irrigate, aud with such
an inland water system Us is unknown
elsewhere, we allow immeasurable
volumes of water to be carried to the
ocean unused year after year, while
our cropa fall each season far short of
the possibilities of the eoil, and fail
almost entirely often as every seventh
year.
Wheatls80wn inNovember in drills
16 Inches apart, one aud a quarter
bushels of seed to the acre. In three
or four weeks a row of peas, turnips,
onions, cabbage, or soma other kind
of vegetable, iB planted between theBe
drills, and theu the wheat is regular
ly hoed and Irrigated with the veget
ables. In April and May the wheat 1b rea
dy to harvest. It has a short, but,
compared to the straw, a heavy head.
The stalk seldom grows higher than
two feet, and often not more than 20
inches. Tho Japanese farmers have
brought the art of dwarfing to perfec
tion. They claim, and truly, I be
lieve, that the straw of their wheat
has been so dwarfed that no matter
how much manure is used, it will not
grow longer, but that the length of
the wheat head is inoreased. Certain
it is, that on their richest soils and
with the heaviest yields the wheat
stalks never fall down and lodge on
the ground, to the great injury of the
crop, as in the United States.
Fruits of some kinds are grown In
all parts of the empire. The soil and
climate are especially adapted to the
crowth of Bemi-tronical fruits. The
former exoIuaivenesB of Japan pre
vented the Introduction of the better
varieties. Isolated as they were . they
contented themselves with half a doz
en inferior varieties. Oranges, limes,
lemons, grapes, persimmons, pears,
and some blnokberries, all very inferi
or, (excepting one variety of orange
and one of grape,) were all they had.
They have wonderful skill in dwarf
ing fruit trees. All kinds are dwarfed
without diminishing tho size of the
fruit. I think our fruitgrowers could
learn muoh from the Japanese In this
matter. I have seen acres of pear
trees not more than four to six feet
high. These trees were set out in
rows, about the same distance Inter
vening. At the height they want the
treeB to grow, say four or six feet, a
lattice work of small bamboo poles is
built over the whole orchard. As
soon as the shoots of the pear tree
grow to this lattice, they are trained
to run along it horizontally, and are
confined to the poles by hempen
strings. When first seen It looks like
a grapery. The wind cannot shake
the trees to disturb either the flowers
or the fruits. Ihe most perfect sys
tem of training and control over the
new growth Is in use, so that the sap
of the tree, Instead of being consumed
in the production of a superabundant
growth of new shoots, Is directed to
the growth and perfection of the
fruit.
I cannot olose this article without
again referring to the system of irri
gation, which enables these people to
realize the highest possibilities of the
soil, in all seasons, with all kinds of
crops. Their sj'stem of ditohes is so
arranged as to act as an equalizer of
moisture ; if It Is a dry season, they
Bupply the deficiency from the reser
voirs; If it Is au excessively wet sea
son, they drain away the surplus
moisture. It Is a matter well worth
all the attention our American farm
ers can bestow upon It. The Japanese
system of fertilizing is just as admi
rable. In the whole empire not one
particle of material that can be used
to fertilize the soil goes to waste ; all
the grass of the bluffs and the straw
of the rice, barley aud wheat is saved,
all the drippings on the streets and
highways are carefully gathered. The
refuse from the extensive fisheries is
utilized, and sea weed is gathered in
great quantities and used. In all the
towns, villages and cities the manure
of the closets is entirely Baved and ap
plied to the surrounding lands. In
the city of Yedo alone millions of
dollars' worth of fertilizing material is
saved which in the United States
would be lost to agriculture. The
savings from the closets of thirty
three and a half millions of people
has an important influence upon the
agriculture of Japan, and the econo
my of this fertilizing element, which
we lose in the United States, is the
most important of all.
What an Instructive lesson for the
American farmer may be gathered
from a careful consideration of the ag
riculture of these peeple! The whole
area of the settled portion of the Jap
anese Islands is not much larger than
tho New Euglaud stateB. Upon this
Is cencentrated a population nearly as
great as that of the whole United
States. The Japanese far
mer produces annually from one acre
of land the crops which require four
seasons under their system in the
United States. Thus the food of this
vast population is supplied without
the importation of a single article,
and still not one-half of the land is
under tillage. There Is nothing In
the agriculture of our country that
can bear a comparison with this. The
grand secret is, drainage, irrigation,
economy and application of fertilizers,
and thorough tillage.
Hard. Money.
The talk about the good 'old times
of hard money' is gabble of the most
Infantile sort. Andrew Jackson is
quoted by theso-oalled 'Hard Money'
Democrats as the man who gave the
people of the United States metallic
currency In plaoe of rag currency. No
more silly mistake could be made.
The destruction of tho U. S. Bank by
Jackson waa a doubtful stroke of
statesmanship. PerhapB it was or
ganized at the time that he oame Into
power; it was necessary to modify it
or to wipe it out. But there was a
vast difference between the methods.
Had Jackson been a financier instead
of a man of limited education, and no
decided business capacity, he would
have known how to reorganize the
National Bank, and, through its in
strumentality to Lave given the peo
ple of this country a olean, uniform
and perfectly good paper currency
just as good as Bank of England noteB
But an ignorant man cannot improve,
he can only destroy, and so Jackson,
by the brute force of will aud official
power, caused the. destruction of the
National Bank.
Did that give the country 'Hard
Money ?' Was all the business of the
country done witli gold and silver af
ter his coup dc force ? How foolish
te set upsuch a claim In an enlight
ened community. On the contrary,
paper currency wbb UBed for at least
nine-tenths of all business transact
ions, aud it was the most miserable pa
per currenoy ever Been in a country
not absolutely bankrupt from Jong
wars or other national misfortunes.
Do our 'hard money1 friends yearn for
the wild-cat State bank system that
prevailed from the time of the des
truction of the national banks down
to the first Issue of greenbacks in '62?
Nine-tenths of the money wealth of
the citizens of the United States was
'rags,' and these rags were liable at
at any moment to become worthless
on their hands.
Does tho loudest mouthed 'hard
money' howler in the land ever antic
ipate that he may wake up some mor
ning and find that all the bank bills
and greenbacks in his possession are
good for nothing but to light his pipe
or his candle with ? Does he ever,
when he wants to make a trip from
Liucoln to New York, go to a local
merchant or bank and exchange all
his paper monpy for New York
bank issues, because his local money
is not worth Its weight in kindling
wood outside the limits of his State?
But that is the difference between
tho Ro-called 'hard-money times' of
the good old democracy and the pres
ent. Tho Democratic party, under the
leadership of statesmen of the Jackso
nian type, furnished us with wild cat
currency that was never safej while
from the second year of Republican
rule, no man has ever found upon his
person a paper note that was not
worth what he took it for, for com
mercial purposes, anywhere in the
United States, unless it was a counter
felt. The greenbackystem of currency
1b the best that has ever yet been de
vised in thir. country, and when the
present 'policy of the government Is
carried out, as we trust It may be, and
the year '79 flndB resumption an ao
accomplished fact, no better currenoy
will exist on the face of the globe.
State Journal.
Do it Well. Whatever you do, do
It well. A job slighted becuse It Is ap
parently unimportant leads to habit
ual neglect, so that men degenerate,
insensibly, into bad workmen.
'That is a good rough job,' said a
foreman In our hearing recently; and
he meant that it was a piece of work
not elegant in itself, but strongly
made and well put together.
Training the hand and eye to do
work well leads Individuals to form
oorrect habits in other respects; aud
a good workman Is, in most cases a
good citizen.
No one need hope to rise above his
present situation who Buffers small
t lings to pass by unimproved, or who
neglects, metaphorically speaking, to
pick up a farthing because it is not a
shilling.
Take heart, all who toil ; all youths
in humble situations, all in adverse
clroumstances, and those who labor
unappreciated. If it be but to drive
the plow, strive to do it well ; if only
to cut bolts, make good ones ; or to
blow the bellows, keep the iron hot.
It is strict attention to business that
lifts the feet higher up on the ladder.
To Cleanse Cisterns. As many
of our citizens are annoyed with un
clean cisterns, and are necessitated to
resort to a cleansing process, we give
the following, which we find commu
nicated to thecolumns of an exchange:
'Another Blmple thing I have acci
dentally learned, and it, too, if not
generally known, ought to be, is rela
ting to stagnant, odorous water in
oisterns. After frequent cleanings
and other experiments, all to no posi
tive, permanent utility, I was advised
to put, eay two pounds of caustic soda
in the water, and it purified it In a
few hours. Since then, when I tried
what Is called concentrated lye, I had
quite as good a result. One or both of
these artioles can be obtained at any
drugstore.'
A gentleman Bald to an old lady
who had brought up a family of chil
dren near a river, I should think you
would have lived in constant fear that
some of them would have got drown
ed.' 'Oh, no,' responded theoldlady,
'we only lost three or four that way.
No Norwegian girl Is allowed to
have a beau uutil Bhe can bake bread
and knit stockings; and as a conse
quence, every girl can bake and knit
long before she can read and write.
A man in suing a preacher In Eng
land for refusing to give him the sac
rament, the letter's reason was that
the parishioner does not believe in a
'personal devil.'

A
ESTABLISHED XZ IS06,
now enters upon its
Twentieth Year
and is the
OLDEST PAPER IN NEBRASKA!
That never suspended or changed its name. Age fc -not
caused its depreciation, nor its adherence to exp!0(
ed fogyismSj but otherwise ; and to-day it stands or
sure foundation, in the
Advance Guard of the Great Army of
Progression,
Strong from the nourishment of long years of eoo
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
When the question was presented between Treason and
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes and
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause of Union
and an undivided country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction and
at the same foe, that they shot leaden bullets, for the
mission of the Republican party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not vet
passed, American progress has not yet ended. Other
labors, to save what has been gained, Ik before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heartily cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank of the Republican platform of Ohu) "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and believes that the safety of the Nation lies in the
full recognition of this doctrine. From the attitude or
the opposition, the duty of every Republican is obvi-

The Advertiser is conceded to have no superior, aa
few equals, if any, in the State j arrd we assure or
readers that it shall be kept up, in every respect, equal
to its present standard of excellence, until we mate t:
better by various improvements which we have in view
just so soon as times improve among the people Hiv
nancially so as to justify us in making such improve
ments. At the commencement of the volume just closed
we promised our patrons that The Advertiser should
be in the future a better family paper than it had ever
been before ; that we filled our columns not with c
"dead" advertisements, but with choice reading pre
pared with care for a variety to suit the general reader.
Our readers will concede that we have lived up to this
promise. We have for the last year carried more
reading matter than any other weekly in the State,
demonstrating that our ambitious declarations are not
an empty blow, and that we do not make promises
only to break them.
