Freeze to Your Nebraska Farm.
More or lessjjentlo n rlcultural reader , if
you have n farm in Nebraska , stay on it.
Freeze to it like death to a colored geutemnn !
of the male persuasion. There isn't a better
country from Greenland's icy mountains to
India's coral strand , and if you hold a chunk
of land in it you are very fortunate , even
though you have to eat com pone and salt
pork every day for lack of gold to buy spongo
cake and breaded veal. There are a good
many farmers In this world of ours who
would like mi . ; hty well to have some salt
pork and corn bread. Some of them are liv
ing on the pure air and freedom to a large
extent. Now and then you will encounter a
husbandman of this fair state of ours who is
greasing his pretty green wagon and harness
ing Ids pale sorrel horses ptepaiatory to a
trip to Oklahoma. Ho will wisely look at
his neighbors and tell them what a smooth
country this Oklahoma is ; how a poor man
can go there and dig a hole in the giound
and be rich before morning ; how he can
plant dried apples and raise an orchard. And
if the neighbors are credulous they may fol
low him. But this wise man will go there
and measure off a chunk of land , and the
chances are that some intellectual settler will
come over with a shot gun and establish a
lead mine in ids person. Practical jokes of
that kind are considered necessary to create
friendly feeling in a new country. If the
wise man escapes dying with his boots on he
will necessarily be kept busy beguiling the
wolf away from his door until he can raise a
good crop which can't be done inside of two
years even if providence be smiling ' all the
time. And the chances are that the wise
man will eventually come hoofing it homo to
Nebraska knee deep in the dust of a country
road , and breathing harsh invectives against
himself at every step. That will be merely
the repetition of a story as old as the western
country. As between a sure thing and a
doubtful it is always best to choose the foim-
er. The industrious man can always do well
in Nebraska , but if he chases strange and re
fractory gods he is liable to be seen in the
gray dawn of a wintry day carrying the ban
ner and looking for a turnip to keep soul and
body together. At the work of gathering
moss the rolling stone is not a success. Top
ics.
ALL FOR NEBRASKA.
Some business men seem to be incapable of
appreciating the fact that every good local
paper does a town ten times as much good as
it is paid for. Men having large interests in
a town and deeply concerned as to its pro
gress , often try to see how little they can do
for their own local paper. The papers of Ne
braska are to-day doing more for the good of
their state than they receive credit for. Day
after day and week after week they are tell
ing of its advantages and its progress. The
facts which they give are widely published
in other papers , and thus the work is carried
far beyond their immediate circle of readers.
If the merchants and business men of the
community could know as publishers dohow
constantly the columns of their local papeis
are advertising them abioad and adveitisiug
it to great advantage so far from taking
credit to themselves in the patronage which
they extend , as if they were making a dona
tion , they would double and triple their sup
port , assuming that in all cases they were
getting a handsome equivalent for the money
expended.
Headache Relief.
The editor of a medical journal claims that
he lias used a ceitain treatment for headache
for a j ear or so with lemarkable sucess. It
is a solution of the bisulphide of carbon , two
or three drams of which are poured on a
sponge placed in a wide mouthed , glass stop
pered bottle. When occasion for its use oc-
cuis the mouth of the bottle is to be applied
to the temple , or as near as possible to the
seat of pain , so closely that none of the vola
tile vapor may escape , and retained there
four or five minutes or longer. It may be
leapplied several times during the day , and
it geneially acts like magic , giving immedi
ate relief. Neivous headaches are the ones
to which it is especially adapted. Neuralgic ,
periodic and hysterical headaches , and even
many kinds of dyspeptic headaches are al
most invaiiably lelieved by it. But it must
be understood that the remedy is for the
symptoms and not the cause , the theory be
ing that vapor being absorbed through the
skin produces a sedative effect upon the
biipeiticial nerves ol the parts to which it is
applied.

Mr. Caleb Olother hands us a clipping from
a Jersey paper , which goes to prove that they
do raise something besides Jersey lightning ,
cranberries and adult mosquitos in that di-
minitive commonwealth : "J. W. and T.

Subscribers Pay Up.
It is not the habit of the publisher to do
persistent dunning ; but there is a tide in the
affairs of men which taken at the flood leads
on to glory ; so there is a time in tlm life of
the publisher when a little ? cash seems in be
necess-iry , in addition to glory. An urgent
invitation is extended our delinquent sub
scribers to call at once and settle up. In
other words we iiuu > t have some money.
