Oar fritsi, MH Letter of IatTale,
is practical fanar. This laat faH
he ( p IS taas af aaraMalka, dag a
pit ia tka gnmad, large eaoag ta
kold it, pat oa a eoat of straw aad
two feet of dirt, aad bow has one of
the best feedi that a eow ever cat, it
is green aad aiee aad very wholewwe.
This is called ensilage Oae thing
that ails oar farmers is the lack of
saviag tkeir feed. The stalks are
eauily ca.t ap ia a feed cotter, and the
preparation of the trench is hot little
work, aad tkc rcsaltis great. Usual
ly farmers tarn their ea-tlc into the
stalks, and soon they are wasted, bat
by the other way is aiade to eoant
and is nnch better aad goes farther
aad makes cattle fatter. It is no new
hobby but has been tried in the east
for many years verj successfully.
Next season Mr. Lester proposes to
put up 30 or -JO tons. It is our opin
ion that the farmers alliances should
take this matter up and thoroughly
diseass it. Such thinga as that will
do them good. .
Hon. T. J. Williams has introduced
in the legislature a petition aad reso
lution signed by a number of free
holders of this coaaty, prayiag that
the ofice of coaaty attorney be abol
ished. It is presented on the belief
that competent legal talent can be sh
eared by the year-at a much less fig
ure thaa the present salary allowed
county attorneys. Echo. -
It raas ia oar mind that the sub
ject of irrigation ought to be one of
momeatoa8 concern to the farmers
of Webster coaaty and the business
men of Red Cloud and other cities in
the county. Naeh depends on irriga
tion in the future success of agricul
ture in tho state. Let tome one make
a moye in the right direction and set
the ball rolling. With a good system
of irrigation Nebraska would become
the greatest agricultural producing
state in the Union. Will our busi-
nexs men take hold ol the project
aa enthusiastic manner?
in
It is our opiaion that the present
legihlatura should devise means to
hare the licenses for salooaa go di
rectly into the city treasuries, there
to be used for city purposes, instead
of going iato the school fuad. It is
doae so ia Illiaois and we believe that
it is more satisfactory to the people.
It looks altogether wrong to take the
saloon licenses toedacatethe childrea
with. It is virtaally "rccogaizing aa
evil for the perpetaity of education.
Of eourse it docs not contaminate the
money, but it is the principle of the
transactiaa by which an evil is ceua
tenaaced ia order that money may be
procured to educate the growing gen
eration to despise the salooa. It the
money was paid into theeity it could
be made to repair muek of the damage
caased by the saloon. The law shoald
be changed.
There is saeh a thing aa merchants
being a little too economical in cut
tins down their business with news
papers. Suppose that iu return for a
failure to patroaixe them suficieatly
so that they could make a living, that
the newspapers f this or any other
city woald elose their doors and stop
their pablications. What woald then
become of the town? A maa cannot
afford to iavest a large sum in print
ing presses to help build up a city, if
the basiaeas men have aat, enterprise
enough to stand by tboe men, aad
give them sufieient support. A
aewspiper is expected to and does
more hard work for a city than all nf
the other ambiaed effort, still some
people taiak they caulive and pros
per oa wind. Csrtainly a merchant
cannot expect to sell goods without a
liberal display of printer's iak. If it
were aat for the aewspapera urgiag
people to stay by the home dealers,
many of them would bay goads ia
other plaaaa, where they might pro
cure email aargaias, this and many
other atmiliax thinga taa newspapers
work for, and in resarn. they are often
left stranded aa the bleak share of
despair, from a failure of awppors. A
mereaaat aaaaia .aa least occupy a
small apace in a newspaper, if far no
otacr reason than to aanw that he ia
alive aad progressive, for dead men
rarely ever enthuse anyone.

On last Satarday afteraaoa, all that
was mortal of Joha N. Potter a as
eoasigaed to the tomb, he having
peaeefally passed away oa Friday,
Jaaaary 30, after a brief illaeas. Mr.
Potter came to Webster coaaty in
1876 from lows, aad had lived iu this
city during the early settlement of
this county, and had parsed throagh
many of the trials incident to the eolon
ixing of new eountries. He was born
in 1816 and consequently would have
been 74 years of age at his death.
He was a very robust man, aad dur
iag his declining years it was a great
help to him. In early life he uaited
with the ehnrch aad remained a stead
fast christiaa. He was the father ofj
six childrea four boys Bd two girls
four of whom live ia Webster couaty.
The funeral services were largely at
teaded by relatives and friends and
took place from his late residence on
ast eighth nvenue, Rev. E . J. Ran
dall oSeiating. It can be truly said
of him that he had lived a life of use
fullness here and at last laid dowa
the trials of earth for a life far better
in the land' beyond. Tiir. Cuitr ex

Ia what manner shall free coinage
of silver immediately help those who
have no silver to coia? Iu whst mta
aer will be obtain these aewly coined
dollars, different from the maaaer in
which he obtaias'the dollars we have
now? Csn the men who has a mort
gage, aad nothing else to sell, dispose
of it for limitless supply of those
newly coined dollars in the haadi of
those who possess the raw material of
which the dollars are made? How
ever plentiful money may become,
shall we not be required to give some
thing in exchange for it, as now?
If money shill become so plentiful
and cheap that every one can have it
by merely reaebiag oat his hands for
it, what will it then buy of the things
wc want aad need for pleasure and
comfort? Will the man who has no
crops tha be able to exchaage that
which he haa not for all the dollars
be waats? The farmer who has pro
daets.to spare ean readily exchaage
the same at good prices for ready
cash nsw, without the least dificality,
and the man who has nothing would
not be likely to exchaage it for money
if the dollars wvie a millioa times
more plentiful. Money is but a med
ium of exchange, and those that have
nothiag to exchange will net be much
effected bv increase or decrease of
circulating medium. In some maaaer
some people somehow have imbibed
the foolish idea, that with a plentiful
supply of circulating medium, ex
chaage caa he made where there is
nothiag to exchaage. The time will
probsbly nerer come whea we will be
able to get dollars ia other way thaa
that ia whieh we now get them, and
that is by cither giving somethiag or
doiag something for them.
This insane notion wkiea seems ta
have growa ap that in some manner
money is to he distributed prom
cooeely,. pleatifally aad iadiscrimia
atsly without eoaeideratioa, aught to
be compelled by return to reuse aad
common sense principles. A little
bit of reason and common sense is
sameient to counteract the wiad of a
