According to promise wc
give
very brief notes of the subject re
cently discussed by the Club, which
we think will be found valuable to
our Nebraska farmer readers :
To the question, How many oats
should be sown to the acre?, P. S.
Griffin answered that he had raised
his greatest crop with 3 bu. to the
acre. Jas. Russell said that he at
one timo had sown 5 bu. and the
oats stood so thick on the ground
he couldn't cut them down, nis
present practice was 2 Jf bu. if a
seeder was used, and three if broad
cast, by hand. Jacob Ernst said
the richer the land the less seed was
required; from 1 to 3 bu. was his
practice.
What is the best treatment for
tender shoulders in horses? All
the members who gavo their exper
ience agreed that the collars should
fit neatly, bo as soft as possible, and
as preventive, the shoulders should,
(before commencing heavy spring
work) be washed iu a solution of
salt and water; the addition of a
little alcohol to the same had also
-
been found useful.
How to cure a kicking cow? Mr.
Ernst gavo a method which he said
he kuow by experience was effec
tive. Buckle a strap tightly around
the body of the cow immediately in
front of the udder.
We have spaco only for very
brief mention of the addresses of
Mr. Ernst on raising calves, and Mr.
Reed on corn. The best time to
have calves come in was when the
grass comes, so that they could have
plenty of milk, i. e., those that run
with the cows. At the present prico
of butter it was his opinion that the
calves should go with the cows. He
had always given sweet, skimmed
milk to calvep, but ho had heard of
sour milk also being fed. After
four mouths the milk feed might be
stopped and oats given. lie didn't
know of any feed that could be
compared with oats for young
stock.
Mr. Reed's address on corn, part
ly written, but mostly oral, contain
ed some very excellent suggestions
enforced by bits of his own exper
ience. He thought our average
yield of corn, taking one farm with
another aud one year with another
was about 30 bu. to the acre. 70
good ears make a bu. 3 of such to
the hill (in rows 3 ft. 8 in. apart)
would give 137 bu. Io the acre; 2
would give 92 bu. It had been very
forcibly impressed upon his mind
that a great deal more care bestow
ed in procuring excellent seed corn
would richly pay. He had purchas
ed seed, corn in Iowa, eplendid
lookiug, planted it, and it didn't
grow. This led him to adopt the
rule never to plant corn without
testing it. "Willi corn, as with every
farm product, the best varieties
would always pay best. To select
it he thought it a good plan to go
through the field before fully ripe,
taking the best cars from the best
stocks, or, while gathering, have a
basket in the wagou for the rccep
tiou of the best cars, from which the
very best can afterwards be solected.
He would uot use for seed the ker
nels on the ends of the ears, believ
ing that it made a difference. Mr.
Ernst suggested afterwards that the
middle kernels gave uniformity
of size, which was necessary in
planting by machinery -to secure a
uniformity in the number of kernels
to a hill. With the utmost care in
the selection of seed he would still
not be sa tisfied, but would invaria
bly teat its growing qualities.
As to the preparation of tho
ground.he believed in plowing deep,
and would go down eight to ten
inches, if he could. Farmers gen
erally believed in deep plowing for
corn, but supposed they were going
down six inches, when by actual
measurment it was only four. It
was best to carry a measure and not
leave the depth to guess-work. In
using a harrow iu corn he preferred
the Thomas smoothing harrow the
teeth being turned backward, the
growing stalks were not displaced.
He believed that the labor spent in
thorough culture is well rewarded,
the drier tho season the more work.
Every bushel of corn raided ou the
farm was worth, right there, for
feeding purposes, twenty-five cents,
and if, instead of 30 bu., we could,
by more care in the selection of
seed, and better culture of our fields,
bring the average up to 70 bu. to the
acre, it certainly would pay us to
make the exertion.
In subsequent discussion of the
subject, the membors who spoke,
agreed that corn and potatoes
should be planted in rows north and
south ; that corn -should (when
worked exclusively by horses, as it
is here) be planted so as to be work
ed two ways.

Obituary.
Mrs. Sarah 31. Eyman, wife of John
Eynian, Lost Creek, died April 3d, 4
a. m., in Columbus, at the residence of
B. . Rogers, where she had come for
medical attendance.
She was buried, April 4th, from the
Presbyterian church, Rev. J. A. Iiood,
an acquaintance and friend of the family
for many years, officiating. Her remains
were followed to the cemetery at Co
lumbus by a large number of neighbors
of Lost Creek and other friends.
Mrs. Eyman was born in Barnstead,
Belnap Co., X. II., April 23, 1840, and
was the daughter of Mollis Bunker. In
1K55 2Ir. Bunker and family moved to
Macon Co., Illinois, aud there Sarah was
married to John Eyman, Feb. 1SG7. Mr.
and Mrs. Eymau, with her parents aud
brother 3Iilo, moved to Lost Creek,
Platte Co., In the spring of 1S72.
Mrs. Eyman had been in poor health
for nearly a year, before her decease, but
was able to attend to her household
cares till last Christinas. The officiating
clergyman read at hor funeral the 31st
chapter of the book of Proverbs, com
mencing at the ninth verse, as appro
priate to her.
Mrs. Eyman was a noted housekeeper
and took great delight in entertaining
friends.
The poor were always sure of her
sympathy and assistnnce, and her ten
der heart took thought for the comfort
of even tho animal creation. She was a
devoted wife and mother and affection
ate daughter.
.Mrs. Eyman retained her conscious
ness to the last. Sho bade good bye to
her family; charged her son Frank to be
a good boy and not forget his mother,
and sent messages to absent friends.
Her thoughts, reverting to her former
homes, she exclaimed ''Good bye! New
Hampshire; good bye I Illinois." She
was willing to die, through her trust in
the Saviour. Her last words were,
"Bless the Lord."
The writer tenders his deep sympathy
to the husband, son, aged parents, broth
er and sister. He trusts that her mem
ory will ever be cherished, and her
virtues emulated by her acquaintances,
and he hopes both for relatives and
friends,
"That they may meet her again in that
beautiful land,
The far-away home of the soul;
Where no storms ever beat on the glit
tering strand,
AVhile the years of eternity roll."
