And all I loved I loved alone.

FARM, ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
Unpolled Corn.
Com
IncpQ ruin-fifth ltv ilrrinrr and
wheat one-fourteenth. From this the
estimate is made that it is more profita
ble for the farmer to sell unshelled corn
in tho fall at 75 cents than at $1 a
bushel in the following summer; and
that wheat at $1 25 in December is
equal to $1 50 in the succeeding June.
In case of potatoes taking those that
rot and are otherwise lost together
with the shrinkage, there is little doubt
that between October and June the loss
to tho owner who holds them is not less
than .13 per cent.
An Immense Held or Corn.
The September report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture says if the corn
crop could be thoroughly ripened, its
aggregate would largely exceed any
previous crop, and the yield per acre
would bo one of the best, notwithstand
ing losses by the overflow of bottoms
and the saturation of heavy flat soil,
such loss proving less than the usual
damages by drought and insects, while
the rains have greatly benefited the
crop on higher and dryer soils. Nearly
everywhere corn is late in maturing from
one to two wefks.
Chert? Trees,
These should never bs highly manured.
Singular as it may seem, better results
-have been "obtained by gro'wing cherry
trees in grass than by cultivating them
as highly as psara. Experienced fruit
growers in Delaware, who once began a
system of manuring and treatment of
. cherry trees, found, after an experience
-ota few years, that the bark would
burst, gum would ooze out, and many
portions of the trees show an unhealthy
condition. The growers immediately
discontinued high feeding, and seeded
the land to grass. The trees recovered
their health, and have borne beautifully
since the system of grass culture began.
It is the only fruit tree of all varieties
which we cam safely recommend to be
treated in this way. A." Delaware friend
sajs his row of cherry tree, growing in
grass along the fences, are the picture
of health and luxmiaace; while in pre-
vious years, with orchard culture, he
could never make.them successful.

"?Ji : and aow there are mag-
nificeatareasaeroted to wheat a. well
as cornTlut our farmers must advance,
if they would dcvelopc in their perfec
tion the riches of our Nebraska soil.
Wc want varied agriculture. We need
to have ocr rich pasturi-s covered with
herds and flocks; and- then Nebraska
will be one of the richest States in the
Union. We are makiag progress in this
direction. All, over. South Platte Ne
braska, from the eattera river counties
to the Republlcaa river, locks of sheep
are increasing, and graded cattle appear
on "the thousand hills."
At present, and on a large scale, stock
raising Is beyond the means of many
Nebraska fanners; but there aie many
ways in which they can vary their agri
culture, and render their acres profitable.
Ilerc is one the cultivation of broom
corn for manufacture in the State, or
for shipping direct to the Chicago mar
ket in the shape of biush.
Our attention has recently been di
rected to this subject in connection with
the broom manufactory established In
Lincoln by Messrs. Isaac Dobson & Son.
The members of tills firm have been
engaged in the broom corn business for
tru years; and they know whereot they
speak. .For three years past Messrs.
Dobson hav-e raised the crop in the vi
cinity of Lincoln; and this -year they
have had 40 acres of broom corn. The
three year's cnltivation has raised an
average crop of half a ton to the acre,
as against one ton to three acres in Illi
nois, where broom corn is a constant
product. Messrs. Dobson have had ex
perience East in raising this special
crop; and they believe that no fa'.hire
need be feared in the soil and climate of
Nebraska, and there is an especial ad
vantage in the Fall weather of Nebraska
for drying the brush. The planting
should be done early at any time from
the beginning of May until the second
week in June; but the earlier during the
latter period the better.
Nebraska farmers will do well to con
sider this crop in its economical aspect.
As we have said, it can be made into
brooms on the spot; and there is always
a demand for this needful implement of
home cleanliness. But, perhaps, the
practical point is to rely upon the Chi
cago market for the sale of the brush.
The market is unlimited, and the Chica
go price has varied within the experi
ence of Messrs. Dobson from $li!0 to
$220 per ton; a fair average to calculate
upon being $150 per ton. A car load is
five tons, and tho freight on that (the
produce of ten acres in Nebraska) i6
$120 to $180. Say the freight is $25
per ton, that will reduce tbe average
price to be obtained in Chicago to $125
per ton. At a liberal estimate the entire
cost of the crop (including bailing and
other expenses) Is, according to the ex
perience of Messrs. Dobson $60 to $05
per ton, which makes the net return to
the grower $65 per ton of produce, or
$32 50 per acre.
On tins showing it will readily be
perceived that there is money in broom
corn; and it is worth while to look the
matter up. Indeed broom corn is be
coming one of the regular crops of Ne
braska! Certainly we hear of it in many
parts of the. State, and especially in the
vicinity of tho B. & 31. railroad, where
there are facilities for shipping. In the
neighborhood of Hastings a considera
ble quantity has been grown, and also
about Kearney, and whoever has tried
tho crop speaks well of its adaptability
to Nebraska, and its profitableness
Farmers ought to examine the subject
and figure on it; and, if they are satis
fled, to put in a goodly quantity of
broom corn next season. Lincoln (2Vi.)

Fortngnese Peasant Women.
A scrap of intelligence comes from
Portugal that has some value in its bear
ing ppon the controversy over the rela
tive strength and endurance of men and
women. In the rural districts of this
kingdom the women work in the fields
from early childhood, sharing to the full
the toil and fare of the men. Tet a
more healthy, comely, and contented
race of women is not met with the wide
world over. No D8le. thin, careworn
matrons or maids are found among them,
but almost without exception, they are
vigorous in frame, strong and lithe in
step, and cheerful and winning in coun
tenance. Something of this is to be
ascribed to the feeling of security and
independence that comes from a sure
tenure "of their homes, which, though
rented, are retained for generations on
generations on comfortable terms. Some
thing is owing, too, to a genial' climate
and to comparative east: with which the
necessities of life can be provided. Tet
the fact tends to show that with identi
cal habits of living, the physical powers
of men and women should be equal.
Mascles aasl Steam.
A recent German writer says that a
a bundle of muscle fibres is a kind of
machine consisting of albuminous ma
terial, just as a steam engine is made of
steel, iron, brass, etc., and, as in tbe
steam engine, coal is burnt in order to
produce force, so in the muscular ma
chine, fats, or hydrocarbons, are burned
tor the same purpose; and just as the con
structive material of the engine iron,
etc., is worn away and oxidized, tho
constructive material of the ascle is
worn away, and this wearing away is the
source of tbe nitrogenous constitaeats
of the urine. This theory, it is asserted,
explains why, daring muscular exertion,
the excretion of urea is little or not at
all increased, while that of carbonic aod
is greatly augmented: for, in a steam
engine moderately fired and ready for'
use, the oxidation ot iron, etc, woald go
on quite equiblj, and woald not be
much increased by the more rapid frias?
necessary for working, bnt mach more
roal would be burned, when .it was at
work than when it was standing fcUe.
This is, in sabeUace, aa old theory ia

Another Steamship Disaster.
The Steamer City of Waco Buraect off the
Coast of Tezat.
The Galveston Steamer City of Waco,
while anchored outside with a fleet of
vessels, took fire and burned to the
water's edge. A Galveston dispatch of
of Nov. 9th, gives the following mrtic
ulara. The City of Waco, which had burned
to the water's edge and her hull rolling
in a heavy ses, sunk at 1 p. m. to-day In
seven fathoms of water. The vessel
and cargo are a total loss. The wind
this morning was blowing a gale. The
passengers and crew put off in the ship's
boats, of which she had four, besides a
life raft. The persons w!k went near
the burning steamer this morning report
that her boats were all cast loose except
one which was hanging on the whip's
side. One end of the boat having caught
in the rigging, thus preventing being
launched. The mate of the ship Fusi
yums, which was lying about one quar
ter of a mile from the Waco reports bcc
mg a boat with persons in it pass his
vessel at S o'clock this morning going
westward. He could not say that there
were other boats. The sea was running
very high at the time. The steam tug
Buckthorn was dispatched outside this
morning, and has been coasting in sight
of land all day. Sho is reported ouisido
yet. Now, 6:30 p. m., parties who have
been out on the gulf shore to the west
ern extremity of the island have just re
turned and bring no intelligence of the
missing boats. The agents of the line
have telegraphed to Indianola and
Brownsville, notifying vessels to be on
the look out tor them. At 7 p. m. one of
the pilot boats which has been outside
all day has just returned and brings no
tidings of the parties from Down Island.
They saw a farmer from San Louis
pass who reports having seen a
small boat pass down this morning,
which, from his description. It is thought
may have been one of the boats from the
Waco. It was some distance out in the
Gulf, and he could not distinguish per
sons in it, but saw what appeared to be
a temporary sail. The boat was drift
ingTSprdly to the westward.
7:30 f. m. The steam tug Buckthorn
has just arrived, and brings the follow-
wg additional particulars: Herofflcersf
stopped at the fleet when going out to I
ascertain from the different vessels laying
near where the Waco burned all the in
formation possible 'reliabh as to her
passengers and crew. OrJy one of
them, the Fusiyuma, could give an mi
form at ion. Her officers report having
seen what- appeared to be a raft pass
them. They made an effort to launch
one of their bo its, but before it could
be done the raft was loat sight of in the
storm and darkness The officers of the
Buckthorn report about twenty miles
west and five miles from shore, passing
foremast and foreyards of the Waco
with sails attached, which had burned
off just above the deck, and they think
this is what was taken for a raft by the
Fusiyuma. The Buckthorn went twenty
miles west, aud could find no trace of
the missing boats. There were heavy
showers of rain early in the night with
occasional lightning. Some think the
ship was struck by lightning, and. hav
ing considerable oil on board, the flames
could not be extinguished. The agents
state that there were 47 or 48 persons on
the Waco, including passengers, officers
and crew. Crowds have gathered at
the Company's office throughout the day
to learn the latest news. There is much
dissatisfaction expressed at the conduct
ef-the oftcers and men on board ot
other vessels which were all lying in
sight, and a number of them were lying
very near the burning steamer, with tbe
exception ot the efforts made by the
Fusiyuma, there does not appear to have
been anything done rowaids saving
those oatbe Waco. Their excuse is the
terrible see, which would have swamped
their boats bad they succeeded in
launching them.

From all tbe information possible to
obtain up to the present hour (10 r. m.)
it seems that tbe Waco was lying with
head to the gale, and the fire, which first
appeared forward on deck, had caught
in a large quantity of oil and swept over
the vessel, burning everytning before it.
Fifteen vessels were lyieg at anchor.
thirteen of which we re to the leeward of
the Waco. The supposition is that if
any of the passengers or crew had ap
peared on the Teasers deck, or the boats
had been launched, they would have
been seen by some of the other vessels,
none of which can confirm the first ru
mors of seeing boats pass through the
fleet. The impression b now gaining
ground that not a soul on board the ill
hited veaeel is alive.

Several of these took first premiums at

true, that Mr. Hale designed all but one
of the many stores put up in Barlington
