THIS FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , DECEMBER M , 1906
NOW AND THEN.
The close of the year is draw-
nfj near ami one can with profit
; ivia moment to retrospi ction
\Vhat has the year meant to
/our W4wl have yon accom
pit shed ? What is the atfjjiT-
4 ite of one more year of lile ?
You have made mistakes , ol
course. You have done those
* hings yon should not have
lone , such things are expected.
Jut as a whole has it been a
satisfactory year ? It should
lave been , fur nature has been
tind and .ijiMierons in her favors.
"Nebraska has never had a bel
ter year than the old one now
preparing to go to its fathers.
"Never before have we had such
general excellence of crops ;
never before has this county
30011 blessed with things mater-
nil as it has during the past
twelve months. The wealth of
this county is two hundred per
cent greater at the close of 1)0(5 ! ) (
than it was at the close of IH'JO.
'Hie tax books \\\ny \ \ \ not show it ,
) itt it is true nevertheless.
* Vhat is true of the county is
'rue ol the nation. 13 very line
I human endeavor is enjoying
. season of prosperity nn
quailed in the history of the
vorld. And of all trades , pro-
essions or employments , agri
culture has and is enjoying the
greatest measure of success.

Too many statistics are dry
and uninteresting , but this being -
ing a purely agricultural region
it may interest our readers to
read a brief statement of the
progress made along agricul
uiral lines in recent years
From the following table you
can derive an excellent idea as
to what has been the increase
of farm properly since iheear
1900 by comparing it with the
years before :

Ft will be noticed that the
value of farm property lias in
creased more in the live years
lust passed than it did in any
ten years previous. This in
crease will be greatly augment
ed when the figures are in for
1000 , for the year now closing
° ias been unparalelled. This
> ast increase in farm values
while greater than similar in
creases in any other line of
labor , does not fully portray
the prosperous condition of the
American farmer. Take for
instance

inor > . . . 7,000.000,000
You will see by the above
table that the increase is great
er in the live years last past
than it was for the thirty years
between 1870 and 1900. This
great increase is distributed
among many people as for in
stance. the number of people
engaged in farming in 1870
was f,992,000 while in l < )0r ) > ,
11.500,000 people were following
agriculture. Notwithstanding
many more people are now
farming than ever before , the
per capita increasu of wealth
among farmers has steadily
grown. The following table
will show how much the per
capita value of farm proper ! }
has been for the past thirty-live
years :

And the end is not yet. As a
matter of fact the beginning is
just here. Great and wonderfu
as has been the progress during
the last six years , the clos
student of conditions canno
fail to see that the developmen
of the future will utterly dwar
anything the past has shown

prediction made above and that
is careless fanning. There is {
land in this county that has notj
had a change in crops in twenty
years [ f men who farm like
this could visit New England
and see the farms that have
been worn out and made worth
less by such treatment they !
would learn a valuable lesson.I I
1 have seen farms in New Kng. ,
land that you couldn't seed
down with a hypodermic syringe.
Don't ruin your farm. Give it
a chance. Seed it down to
clover , alfalfa , cow peas , in !
fact any of the legumes. Don't }
neglect the manure pile. It is' '
QUO of the best iriends you have. I
Some ol our farmers are feed-1
ing their stock by turning catj j
tie and hogs into Ihe field just !
after the corn has passed the
roasting ear stage and let them
feed in this manner. It has
proved successful with every
body who has tried it. The
liogs get plenty of exercise , it
saves the expense of husking
and it distributes the manure
over the field. If you own a
farm in Richardson county you
are not only assured of an inde
pendent living and a good home ,
but you have something to
leave your children that will
grow more and more valuable
with the passing years. Puo.
vmr.n , you do not destroy it by
careless farming.
Capt. W. S. Noyes , aged sixty-
five years , a resident of Hastings
for twenty-five years dropped
dead shortly after entering the
Bostwick barber shop. Mr.
Noyes asked Lou Egelhofl" , a bar
ber , to assist him in removing
his coat , and as ISgclhoff turned
to take the coat , Noyes said : "I
might as well give it up , I'm o-
ing to die. ' ' lie was caught in
Egelhoff's arms as he fell and
soon expired. During his resi
dence there. Captain Noyes con
ducted the Lindell and the Den
ver house.

Sterling Morton said that Ne-j
) raska land would some dayi
sell for tf 100 per acre. The wise j
niblic laughed at the statement.
lMie writer believe ; . ; that Kiclu
irdson county real estate will
some day sell for an average of
SlfiU per acre , provided careless
arming does not exhaust the
soil. My reasons lor such be-
ief are that the giant strides
) f commerce , the rapid devel
opment of our country , the
enormous increase in the popu-
ation annually and the limited
extent of the corn belt will en-
lance the value of our farm
iroduc-tsyear by year until the
soil which produces them will
> ay good interest on the above
valuation. Just as an instance
et us speak of our wheat crop
ilone. Twenty years ago we
consumed but U2 per cent of
the wheat we raised and ex
ported the surplus. Notwith
standing we arc now producing
nnch more wheat we are con-
juming SS per cent and export
ing but 12 per cent. In the near
future our home market will
more than consume all the
wheat raised in America and
we will import foreign wheat to
supply our own demands. We
all know what happens to the
price when the demand exceeds
the supply. The price of wheat
will be kept lower , however , by
the Dakota , Kansas and Cana
dian wheat fields. But where
is the corn to come from with
which to supply this constantly
increasing home consumption ?
Canada , Dakota and most of
Kansas will not raise corn.
Climatic conditions have re
stricted the corn country to a
comparatively narrow belt. All
science cannot enlarge this belt.
Richardson county is in this
belt and will be one ot the coun
ties which will reap the mag
nificent harvest of the future.

Big Crop Potatoes.
he following- clipping from
the State Journal shows that the
raising of potatoes in the north
ern part of the state is being car
ried on , on a large scale :
As the potato shipping season
has about come to a close in this
locality it has been very conclu
sively proven that Dakota county
is fast forging- the front as one
of the best potato producing
counties to be found anywhere
and that it is one of the best
paving crops that can be raised.
Nearly one hundred cars of pota
toes were shipped from the differ
ent railroad stations on the
"Dakota county bottom,1' and
besides this it is n safe estimate
that half that quantity was
marketed in Sioux City by the
wagon load. It is a safe estimate
that 75,000 bushels of potatoes
were sold by the farmers of this
county at prices ranging from 30
to10 cents per bushel. The
acreage next year will be much
larger , at it has been proven for
several years past that the most
profitable crop the farmers can
raise is potatoes.
The highest yield this year was
300 bushels per acre. Not less
than $25,000 was paid for the
potatoes so far sold by Dakota
county fanners.
The colored people held forth
at a dance in the Wahl hall last
Thursday evening.

Weakness
The action of the heart de
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex
hausted , and fail to furnish
sufficient power , the heart flut
ters , palpitates , skips beats ;
and in its effort to keep up its
work , causes pain and distress ,
such as smothering spells ,
short breath , faintingf , pain
around heart , arm and shoul
ders. The circulation is im
peded , and the entire system
suffers from lack of nourish
ment.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure makes
a heart strong and vigorous by
strengthening these nerves and
muscles.

my hcait , and the doctors paKl it was
