Prodaclionx r Agriculture In

Editor JouitN'Ai.: As next year
is tliu tituo for taking the national
census anil it is particularly import
tint the Slate of Nebraska should bo
correctly reported in it, I would call
the attention of my brother farmers
to the following circular and request
that they keep a copy of it for fu
ture reference, and now that the
the cropB of 1S7S are all gathered
aud most of them disposed of, that
each one should make a noto of the
yield of their respective crops so as
to bo prepared to give an intelligent
answer to the census taker when he
comes along.
Gko. S. Truman.
Monroe Precinct, 12, 10, 'Tit.
The agricultural schedule annexed
fo the Act of 1850, which is also
made a part of the Act of March 3,
1879, providing for the Teuth Ccti
fcU8, requires a report of tho chief
productions ol agriculture "during
tho year ended June 1."
Now, there is no distinct agricul
tural i car which ends on the first of
Juno, and theic is reason to believe
that the slntisiics of agriculture from
1850 to 1S70, in regard to many ol
the principal products, embraced
portions ol two different crops, in
asmuch as the enumeration was
protruded through three, lour, and
even five mouths.
By the Act approved March 3,
1679, it is provided that the Touth
Census shall betaken and completed
during the month of June, 1SS0.
This provision greatly reduces the
liability to error which has been
aoted.
As the enumeration commences
on the first of June and closes on or
before the thirtieth, all tho crops
which are gathered once a year will
fall pretty olearh on one side or the
other of the dividing line.
Thus the cotton crop reported in
the census will lie that of 1S7U, gath
ered in the fall of that year; while
the wool clip or "wool crop" will bo
that ot Ihe spring of ISSO except in
portion'' ol California and Texas,
where both a lull and a spring clip
are MVnred.
Fr ciMiain ot tho productions of
ugticulttiic. however, theic is no
hnivest, in I lie u-uul mmisc ol that
term; but tin pioduot i- gathered

tneJ v. ,aiui ot theyn'U importance
of !riu.' -'nix. 'til iufiti itiation
relslin to Hii-iiliint, it i-deemed
to V biglilv li -liable that farmers
.!.ouid prep tie tlu-nisclvcs in ad
vance to ivo the information with
promptness and accuracy. It is ur
gently iccommeiided, therefoic. that
agricultuial journals aud the officers
ot agricultural societies and clubs
give publicity to this announce
ment, and that all pci sons engaged
in agriculture who shall receive this
circular, or fhall see it in the public
prints, make notC6 from time to time
of the quantities and values of their
severnl crops gathered, and the
number ol acres of land planted, in
order that their statements, when
made to the enumerators, may be of
the highest possible value.
Tile keepers of the robber's toll

merchants of Omaha and farmers of

Incident of Frouticr K.i fo
il UMi-Hitr.Y, Neu., Nov. 22, 1879.
Though I have traveled over and
admired the beautiful broad prai
ries of the West and its majestic
rivers, aud stood on the bank of the
Mississippi, and looked with pleas
ure at the steamboats passing to aud
fro upon its waters, aud although I
think this is a much healthier coun
try than my native State, New York,
yet, deep cmotious are kiudled
within me whenover I think of my
early home and its surroundings;
tho garden, the meadow, tho school,
"the doep tangled wild wood," and
even the "moss covered bucket that
hung in the well." And oh, ray
early friends I some of them aro
gono like the dreams of tho night,
but they still live iti my memory.
DHring the first few years of my
coming hero, the Indians were a
great annoyance to us ; tlioy dare uot
kill any one, but they would steal,
and there was no end to their beg
glug;audif they entered a house
whero thcro was only women or
children at home, they would insist
on thcro giving them large quanti
ties of bread, meat, meal, flour and
clothes. The first that came to our
house, I saw when they weto at a
distance, aud as 1 was alone I res
olved not to let them into tho house,
I immediately cut up .some bread
and meat, set it out on the door
step, and as it was a warm day I
placed a pail of water there also.
There were about thirty all well
armed, some on ponies and some
walking. They had no squaws or
papooses with them. Some of them
harf no pauts on, but tho most of
them wore bright red onesl They
all had on gay colored shirts, had
wolfskin caps, with feathers and
tvolf tails for trimming on them.
Three Indians who were walking
were in advance as they approached
made sigus of peace, all halted, ate
up the meat, asked for mo to hog,
(meat) but I shook my head, so they
said "good-byo" aud departed.
Whon they are not "on the war
path," but going to visit some other
tribe, they often take their families
with them, and they have a ludi
crous way of carrying the papooses.
They take a long crotchet stick ot
timber, fasten a prong of it on each
side of a pony, letting the other end
drag on the ground, tic a papoose to
the crotch of it, and an Indian rides
the pony.
Ono day a little boy's sister sent
him to n neighbor's of an errand.
He started homeward but came run
ning back crying, saying that he saw
two Indians go into his sister's
house. Knowing that she and her
other child ton would be frightened,
a young man started on the run,
soon arrived there, rushed into the
house, lo! he saw seated there, not
two Indians but two young ladies
who had co no to make a visit. They
all gazed at him with amazement for
a moment when he burst into a
hearty laugh and told them of the
little boy's mistake So mortified
was ho that he would uot go into
the houso while the ladies wcro there
not even to eat supper.
I wish to say to all the readers of
Tho Times who aro troubled with a
cough, or are consumptive, come to
Nebraska, aud if a lengthened stay
here does not cure you, you need
not seek help from any other means.

It sounds somewhat poetical to
say "the good old timc," but if wc
would be strictly truthful, having
an eye upon the actual rather than
upon the sentimental past, we sho'd
be more inclined to designato them
as the "mean old times," especially
if, by somcpowerful freak of nature,
wc should be taken up and set back
among the days that fell to the lot
of those who were old men and
women when our grandparents were
little children. It is no wonder that
Benjamin Franklin, with his pro
phetic vision, wished it had been
his destiny to be born two or three
centuries later. Think of tho jour
neys that required days that may
now bo accomplished in as many
hour?, and with far more comfort.
Think of sittiug in church winter
after winter without the cheerful
piesenro of a fire save that which
was kindled in the imagination by
the glowing eloquence of the preach
er as he described tho torments of
tho "damned." Think of paying
forty or fifty dollars a year for a
newspaper, and think, also, of the
beggarly little sheet and all its mea
gre qualities 1 Think of living with
out a friction match iu the house, or
a tooth-brush, or a carpet, or gas
light, or a sewing-machine, or doing
without overshoes and umbrellas,
aud a thousand oilier things that we
call necessities. It is startling to
consider tho multitude of things,
6mall and great, that we possess,
which contribute to our comforl,
our welfare, our case, our enjoy
ment, that were utterly unknown to
onr innocent grandfathers, and nev
er could have entered their dreams.
The spirit of progress consults our
convenience and multiplies advan
tages in every direction, enhancing
the charm of life, diminishing its
pains, and inviting us to welcome
and enjoy its innumerable gifts.

A JlOUJtX-FUL TALE.
A butcher loved a tender m lid,
To woo her were hi& designs,
And he sent her copies- of gushing Vel'se
In fact real tcnderlions.
The girl alas! he could not suet,
She would love him as a brother,
But when implored to marry said
"Tripe, please and find auother."
The butcher still pursued the girl
His pleas became much bolder;
The girl at last to find relief
Gave to him a cold khoulder.
He knew then that his hopes were vain,
But as he left her, said:
"Since you have caused me such distress
I'll haunch you when I'm dead."
Ho pined and grew so thin and pale
He felt his end was nigh,
I)ut his woe was such he did not know
Whether to liver die.
He tried to drink to drown his cares
And there found no relief,
But dally grew more woebegone
You never sausage grief.
At last his weary soul found rest,
His sorrows now arc o'er
No fickle maid now troubles him;
Pork readier he's no more.
Monkey Story Tor lactic Folic.
There lives in the south of Franco
a man of wealth whose chateau or
country place of residence has
around it very tall trees. The cook
of the chateau has a monkey, a pert
little fellow who knows ever so
many tricks. The monkey often
lielps the cook to pluck the feathers
from fowls. On the day that inter
ests us tho cook gave the monkey
two partridges to pluck, and the
monkey, seating himself in an open
window, went to work. lie had
picked the feathers from one of the
partridges and placed it on the outer
ledge of tho window with a satisfied
grunt, when lo! all at puce a hawk
flew down from one of the tall trees
near by and bore oil the plucked
bird. Master Monkey was very
angry. He shook his fist at the
hawk which took a seat on ouc'of
tho limbs not far off and began to
eat the partridge with great relish.
The owner of the chateau saw the
sport, for ho was sitting iu a grape
arbor aud crept up to watch the end
of it. The monkey picked the other
partridge, laid it on the ledge iu the
same place, and hid behind the window-screen
on the inside. The hawk
was caught in this trap, for when it
flew down after the partridge out
reached the monkey and caught the
thief. In a moment the hawk's
neck was wrung, and the monkey
soon had the hawk plucked. Taking
the two birds to the cook the mon
key handed them to him as if to say,
"Here arc your two partridges, mas
ter." The cook thought that one" of
the birds looked queer, but he serv
ed them on the table. The owner of
the house shook his head when he
saw the dish, and telling the cook
of tho trick laughed heartily.

Of the mother of Abraham Lin
coln, an old neighbor once said to a
correspondent of the Gazette, of
Cincinnati: "My recollection of
Mrs. Lincoln is that sho was, in the
later years of her life, an invalid,
aud underwent great physical suffer
ing as a result of the privations and
exposure slmwasconipclled to un
dergo in her pioneer life. .But she
was -always -gentle, always kind.
She had a sweet expression of coun
tenance, though, her face bore -the
lines of great physical suffering.
She was far more energetic than her
husband, 'and was giltcd with a
great relish for the humorous and a
keeu appreciation of the ludicrous.
She used occasionally to scold her
husband, but he paid little attention
to .her 'chirping,' as he styled her
complaints at his want of activity."
The real Bourbon has been found
in Tennessee. He refused to rec
ognize the obolition of slavery, and
has ever since the war claimed to
own two colored girls because he
had owned their mother. At last
he was indicted, and the United
Slates judge has quashed the in
dictment because no law fits his
case. He has not kidnapped anyone,
and the judge says he can't have
held anyone iu slaver, because
slavery has bceu abolished. "When
the man in the stocks was told by
his legal friend that he couldn't be
put in the stocks Tor the ofTeuse he
was charged with, he replied : "But
they have put me in." The court
decides that there can't be slavery in
this country, but it looks very much
as if a case of it had been discovered,

of them were quite expert, handling

of the squaws finished washing out
a pan of dirt while the reporter was
present. A smill quantity of very
fine gold, mixed with sand, remained
in the pan after the dirt had been

place in her tatters slio took out a
piece of buckskin with u small
amount of gold and black saud tied
up in it. This sho untied, placed in

burned a kiln of 125,000 brick with
