about our miniiters connection with

honest one, because he has occupied

Now is a fitting time to suggtfct to
the farmers the propriety of making
some experiments, with the summer's
crops. There ought lo be a more ac
tive spirit among farmers in this re
spect. We kuow but little about
Nebraska, and the ideas of fanning de
rived from even a long experience in
other states is not sufficient here. If
there is anything of which we are con
vinced, it is that the modes of farm
ing in the we climates of the Missis
sippi valley will not be successful here.
We must try to learn the peculiarities
of our adopted state and conform our
farming to those peculiarities. Talk
as much as we please, there is not the
same amount of moisture in Nebraska
that there is in the Eastern States.
'1 he question whether there is suffi
cient moisture to raise crops with
pro5t has been answered affirmatively
by the most of us. But the fact re
mains rnatr wc have little enough, and
our farming, our plowing, our sowing
and our cultivating must be regulated
accordingly. What kind of plowing,
W hat kind of sowing is most advisable
to guard against the drouth ; we can
only find out by experiment. We are
anxious to see every farmer Jry as
many modes of plowing and sowing as
be can eonvenieutly, to gam light on
this question. There is a division of
opinion among the most intelligent
farmers on this question, and the truth
can only be ascertained by constant
and repeated experiment.

ronage. The paper, of a cotnuiuuity
reflects the enterprise of its patron,
and the moral sentiments ofits read-

courage and strong moral and religious
support to enable the press to boldly
attack the evils which are patent to
its eyes. Nothing would be more
gratifying to our feelings and con
science than to denounce everything
tainted with corruption or injury to

patronage? What eould it fall back
upon? What moral support has-the
press in these western towns?. The
brewery and the dram-shop support
the press infinitely better than the
church and the temperance people.

As it will soon be time for the peo
ple to assemble to transact the business
pertaining lo their school districts for
the ensuing year, I deem it important
to call their attention to a few point
of great interest to them and of vital
importance to the State.
1st. Full, cornet and detailed
reports should be required from the
director and treasurer.
Thediicctor's report should embrace
a derailed account of all repairs on
school house, of the puiuha-eof f urni
ture, apparatus, reference book-, etc,
specifying each item and its cost, of
the length of time school has ben
taught, name of the Jaa-.-her, grade of
the certificate fteld by him or her,
wages paid per month, number of pu
pils attending school, average attend'
auce, number of visits made by direct
or, general efficiency of the school,
condition of school hou-e and out
houses, etc . etc
The report should alo contain
suggestions and recommendations for
the work of the ensuing year. It
should mention the books and appa
ratus necessary to lender the school
more efficient, the repairs and fixtures
necessary, length of time school should
be sustained, (aud it is hoped that no
district will think of having less than
six months), the importance of proper
out houses, (there are in the State O'Jo
school houses without a shadow of an
out house ! Shame ! Shame!! on such
districts.) the amount of money needed
to carry on the school, and the sources
from which it must be derived"
If the director will take pains with
his report, he can do very much to
awaken a proper interest iu the cause
of education in his district, or he can
do much to injure the cause, and' hin
der ali laudable efforts to sustain agood
bcnool.
The great thought should be how
many months can we possibly sustain
school; not how few months and meet
the revuiremeuts of the law. It is the
education of their children that should
induce the people to sustain a school;
all else is of slight itupcrtauee. The
treasurer should give a full, concise,
and detailed report of all receipts and
di-biirspiuenfs. Ills rc,iort shonld
clearly show all the sources of receipts,
tho time when he received any money,
nnd rlie nind from whie it was derived;
also, an itemized report of all expendi
tures in detail, specif ving the time
when paid out, the fund from which
it was paid, the per-on to whom paid,
and the object for which paid.
The total receipts should always
equal the total expenditures, including
the moneys on hand. It sometimes
happe s that reports reach my office
howing the expenditures to be greater
than the receipts!
It is exceedingly important that the
treasurer should be requirtu'to report,
a.it wou:d doubtless save thousans of
dollars annually to the schools of this
State, and afiord much satisfaction to
the people of the districts, an J fotm a
correct basis foT proper reports to
I this office.
2d. I)itricts should take the utmost
care in selecting proper school officers.
The peace and prosperity of the dis
trict depeuds almost wholly upon these
Perhaps more than one half of all
district broils and difficulties origmjte
with district officers in some way.
When a school officer is elected he
must be retained for three years. There
is no way only through the courts of
getting ud of him, uuless he chooses
tt resign.
3d The utmost care must be taken
in levying district taxes.
Judge John A. Dillon, of the U. S.
Circuit Court, has decided that the
fund known as the contingent ar inci
dental fund is illegal and cannot be
collected;" the same matter is now before
the Supreme Court of this State for
adjudication.
It will therefore be necessary that
the objects for- which the tax is levied
be explicitly stated.
It will be better to itemize the levy
somewhat after this, form:
For repairs on school houses and
school furniture- .
For fuel, books of reference, and
3 PvvU3
For teacher's Wages nd payment of
school officers
In- order to- sustain each school
properly, each district will now need
to levy a tax for teac-ber's- wages, as
tLe State levy for schools is only
one mill now. This with-other oaases
will reduce the amount formerly
received ier scholar-from one dollar to
pne aad a half dollars; hence no district
need expect hereafter to be able to -d
support a school with what is received
from the State apinirtiunuicnt.
The new constitution cuts off nil
State aid from districts not su-taiuing
school at least three months within
the school year. J. M. McKlNZlB,

Poultry Raising,
There is uone of the small source of
farm profit that equal poultry raising,
while there is none so overlooked.
Apart from this view of il, nothing
in the way of eating is no healthy, and
so supremely delightful as every day a
broiled, fried, baked or boiled fat
chicken. 'f
"A correspondent froiouth Car
olina, writes us : Pray tell us some
thing about raising young turkeys and
chicken.-; what should be their diet?
etc. Our correspondent has easily asked
in one short line, what it has taken
many books to answer. And very much
vf that great deal ha-1 better not have
been said. We will say, first, that
vermin is' the great enemy of younc
poultry of all kinds, and no care or
trouble that we have ever taken with
a hen hou-e ever gave cs exemption
from this pest. Living, as we do, in
the country, we prefer to have our
hens make their nests abiut iMider
brU'h helps, or other safe retreats
provided for 'heo out doors, that
they may escape the annoyaiCi of tl
iiisectKinueiiti.es that wirryihe old
and de-troy the young. Ibis mean
prevention, and it is far better than
eure, of e .ur.-e.
Feeding sulphur about rhrw time
a we-k in fair weather will so impreg
nate the fL'sh with thi- mineral- that
it wilt alleviate tire injury from- mites,
if not enlire'y prevent it. If hens are
.etiinsrinche proximity to cacirothcr,
the careful breeler will not ft.il each
day, and nior than once, to step in
and see that each piopiietre.-. is in her
own nest, that no eggs are broken, etc.
Sftould it tuin out that un egg h.i
been broken, let the whole 'setting'
be wa!ied in lake-warm water, and
well wiped, for if this is nm done,
there will be i'avr or no chicks from
that setting.
After the hatching, and as soou as
the mother show. signs that her young
brood need sun and- exercise; take off
the brood and place them with the
hen in a coop removed apart from the
rest of the poukry, ami keep them
thus restricted four or five days till the
callow young have gained strength to
follow the active movements o'X the
mother.
Do not feed too often. Three or
four times a day is often enough, if
there is anything of a range convenient.
The best lecd for ehiclens, after they
are a few days old, is the 'screenings'
from a flour mill, and the. next best,
millet or coarse meal from corn. Ke
member that a fowl, lite a man, is an
omnivorous animal, and one sort of
food will not answer. TrUi rea-on'
why chicken-) do so much better around
a stable than anywhere else is, that in
addition to the grain they pick up,
they reap the abundant crob o? young
flies and grubs- which fi.id their habitat
there.
Young turkeys should receive pretty
much the same treatment as young
chickens. But chopped onions and
onion tops, and bread baked with a
little grease of some sort iu it, i now
the popular pabulum for young tur
keys. Some breeders of our acquaintance
never omit a 'eed of curds or clabber
ever day, aud regard it as very heal
thy for the young turkeys, and pro
motive of rapid growtti. This variety
of poi'ltry is very irregular in its vital
statistics. Soaje seasons it really
seems impossible to rear a turkey, and
at other times nothing is easier. We
have had at one time, as many a.
ninety-four, all grown, and perfect
beauties, iu one drove, and then again
we have resolved, from the miserable
failures that followed our efforts, never
to try again. But at Christmas a tur
key alway. seemed such a- plausible,
feasible, delightful and indispensable,
thing, that our ill-humor at failure al
ways vanished. Vet a turkey wed
raised, everything having been propi
tious, will be worth ten dollars, as near
as we cau estimate the cost. littrul
