As the subject of Cheese manufactur
es is exciting eonyiderabb attention
among our farmers, we re produce the
lul!owmg from the Rural World:
Ah there are doubtless mauy of cur
readers mterosied in this branch cf farm
industry, we take from a cotcmporary
, the following estimate of the cost of a
small cheeoe factory, such a3 a farmer
taight erect alone, or each as migkt be
established by several together, forming
a joint stock campany, the patrons fur
nishins the milk taking the most of the
stock.
m "For 100 cows, a building 60x27 feet,
with 1G feet posts, making it two Etories,
would bi required. Take 21 feet from
the lower story for a "make room,"
leaving the remainder and the upper
story for "curing rooms." The upper
tory fehou'd be partitioned the same as
the lower. Tho 24-foot room over the
"make room" fhould be plastered and
furnished with stoves suitable for curing
early and late cheej. The cost depends
upon the price of lumber and labor,
which differs in localities. A rough, sub
stantial building, which would answer iii
every rospect in mot localities, would
cost $1,000. If finished with paint,
ete., $1,300. It could be furnished with
vM, tank, presses, hoops, scales, etc,
$300, making in ail $1,300 for the rough
building, $1,600 for the finished one
For 203 cows the same size building
would answer. For vat and fixtures,
$500, making in all $1,500 for rough,
and $1,S00 for finished buildinjr. This
is tha ftizo of many that were built in
this State this season.

OUR Jir.KfHASTS.
In a conversation, a few days since,
with a man who had just come in from
one of our western counties, we were
asked the question why Plattsmouth did
not make some effort f o secure a portion
ef tho great trade of that country.
We, ef course, could give no good
reason uhy they have not done so, but
we can see many good reason why they
fhould make an effort to draw a fair
share of it here. Our merchants do not
lack tho.capital, and we shall be slow to
believe that thoy lack the enterprise,
bat unless something is done to get this
trade it will b diverte J into ther chan
ucU.
There is such a thin r as a town dying
from tho effects of "natural advantages"
and our citizens should not rely getting
a large trade from a distance,. when they
themselves make bo effort to draw it
here.

preferring that the people themselves

who are to speak for the State in that
connection. This is as it should te. The

people should see that only true and

Mr. Chapin, who ha been removed
to make place for Mr. Tucker, 13 well
and favorably known to all the citizens
of this county, having baen a resident
here for a long lime we may say from
the first settlement of Nebraska, as he
cam! to this county in the year 1857.
He represented thi county in both the
Territorial and Statu Legislature, and
was Speaker for three sessions, filling
the chair with jcredit to himstlf and to
the State. He has ever been regarded
as a ti uo man and a genuine Republican.
He now holds the position of Mayor of
L:ncola, and has the confidence and es
teem,, of ad the citizens of that place.
The highest ambi-ion of hi3 successor
should be to make as good a record as
the niau whom he succeeds.

fact unparalleled in the history of litera

prose, but the underlying motive would
still be the same. Profoundly as we be

We have always believed in Normal
Schools and are glad to know that this
institution isin so flourishing a condition.
Of its work, Prof. Williams says :
"Properly and strictly speaking, its
work is entirely professional having
to do with methods. Ere the student
c:-os: cs the threshold of the Normal
School, he should have a coaiplcte ac
quaintance with the subjects to be taught
the tcJtat he i3 to teach and should
only need to be instructed hove to teach
those subjects. And, were this the case,
as it certainly ought to be, the work of
the formal School would Lo very much
lessened, and the time to b devoted to
it correspondingly f-hcrtcned. In that
ease, on 3 year would scifj-n for .n full
and thorough normal course, and the ex
pense of normal instruction would bo re
ducd to scarcely more than ouc-third
of" what it now actually is.
But, unfortunately, such properly fit-
taa students ore not to be had. In al
most y,ery case with search a solitary
exception -me students that come to
our doors are greatly, and in most in
stances, wretchedly deficient in a proper
knowledge ol the subjects themselves.
And, since there can bo no proper in
struction in how to teach until there is
first a. knowledge of what to teach, so,
of necessity, the Normal School must
first impart the necessary knowledgo.
In reality, it has to do a large part of
the work that ought to be done by the
academy and the high school, and even
not a little that should be douo by the
common school."
For training and supplying teachers
for our common schools this institution
is specially adapted, and wo care not
how good a teacher nor how long he
may have taught, be could learn some
thing from the methods adopted by these
schools that would be of much practical
value to him and to his scholars. VvTe
should be glad to see the day come when
every teacher in our State held a diplo
ma fioia oz.9 of these school?.
