Some timo since'the, Journal sub
mitted a problem to the stock raisers
of Platte count v and Nebraska, con
ceruing the increase in ten years
.from one cow, supposingthat the
progeny began to bear at tho ago of
three years, and that tho steer calves
are changed for heifers before that
time. J. W. Ziogler returned ns
answer to that problem, Gl ; W. N.
McCandlish made an improvement
on the problem, suggesting that, as
cattlo were kept hero in herds, tho
progeny begin to come when the
cows are two yoars old. In the fol
lowing solution by our friend Bar
num, he starts out tho first year
with a cow and a calf, and just see
what he makes of it. Is it any won
der that Btock-raisers get rich ? To
bo sure, in this calculation no allow
ance is made for losses by disease,
accident or otherwise, but cattlo in
this country are remarkably healthy
and a friend of ours who has kept
note for nine years, (the progeny of
one cow) says ho has lost but three
calves in that time. The problem to
which Mr. Barnum gives answer is
this: What will be the increase
from one cow (with calf beside her)
supposing that all steer calves are
exchanged for heifers, and that the
heifers bcglu to bear at tho age of
two years.
When it is seen that the grass

cording to the season, it will not he
wondered at that Nebraska stock
raisers are on the high road to in

figures, and we would bo glad
to have any error pointed out.

The latest news from Nance coun
ty still shows that territory yet iu
dispute for the transaction of legiti
mate legal business. Two sets of
of county officers seem to be run
ning in conflict with each other iu
the discharge of official business,
and some folks express the opinion
which, however is untrue, that there
is very Iitllo more law aud order
there now thaii there was twenty
years ago when tho Pawnee In
dians reigned supreme in that
territory and made their own laws
with the tomahawk and scalping
knife. If the citizens of Nance
comity can exercise a small amount
of patience we should incline to the
opinion that the courts will get
round in due time and straighten
out the knotty legal questions in
volved, and set Nance county run
ning in a thoroughly legal and satis
factory way.

will show the gain in trotting time
by decades for the last fifty years.
Previous to 1830 the lowest record
was 2:48. The total gain in speed
for fifty years is 3o seconds. This
table is interesting, yet a caution
needs to go with it. Practically it
is not, of so much importance wheth
er a liorso, by special training, can
go one mile in 2: 40 or whether he
can, without training, soft, taken
from a stable where ho has stood
idle two or three weeks, travel from
fifty to seventy-five miles in one day
without fatigue. The most useful
roadsters are thoso which have
good disposition, intelligence, en
durance, courage, and au easy mov
ing gait. A person who has horses
with such qualities is much better
off than one who fancies he has a
fast horse, fools away his time and
money to train him, and then, per
haps, never gets a lower record for
him than three minutes. When a
person has an exceptional horse,
which can be trained to go iu 2 : 30
and under, it pays to train aud sell;
but tho 2:40 aud 2:50 horses are
usually more expenso than profit.
Many persons, however, must have
a practical experience before they
believe it. J. A. Hood.
