There still exists a difference of
opiuldtf among Western farmers iu
regard to the advantages of full
plowing. fSome maintain that early
spring plowing is preferable to late
fall plowing. This is a matter mai
each farmer must settle for himself.
No positive rule can be laid down.
Seasons differ so much in regard to
wet anddry ; soils differ so much in
respect td their" composition ; the
crops to be sown or planted are 60
various, and their demauds upon the
soil so UHlike, that nothing but the
good sense and practical knowledge
of the farmer himself can determine
his choice as to tho best advantage.
Fall plowing succeeds best with
certain kinds of Boil under certain
conditions. Spring plowing is best
for certain other soils under other
conditions. The great difficulty in
this .matter is not in determining
the best time for plowiug, but lies
chiefly in finding time to plow when
tho land is iu the best condition.
The judgment of many farmers leans
strongly Toward fall plowing, but
being cloBely pressed with other
work which they say must be done
the judgment must give way to the
necessities of the case, and so the
plowing is deferred to the early
ipring. But when early spring
comes tho necessities of the case still
press rhard upon thejarmer; other
jobs must be finished before plow
ing co'mmences. So, as a matter of
fact, neither fall nor spring plowiug
is done in the proper 6cason, aud
the cropB are apt to suffer from this
fatal defect of never being ready to
work at the right time. Wo do uot
suppose that this defect can ever be
cured. It is transmitted from Adam
to his posterity. It is visited upon
the children of more than the third
or fourth generation. However, the
farmer who has tho will aud the
energy to keep abreast, of tho times
will plow In the fall those fields
that will be benefited by fall plow
ing,Vafidfhe will leave till early
8prfng"those fields whose soil aud
condition are most favorable for
spring1 pfowtngf Tho best aud most
successful farmer, will, in some way,
make it possible to plow and plant
exactly at the right time. In doing
so he shows his energy of character
as well as his superior wisdom.

En. Sun: What is the matter with
our sheep mou that they do not re
spond to your call? Some of them
are enthusiasts ou Bhecp husbandry,
and know thero is more money in
sheep thau in auy other kind of
stock. Sheep givo two crops in a
year the wool and Iambs; and
grasshoppers can't eat either. Then
they are 60.much nicer and belter to
handle, for a boy will herd 200 sheep
easier than twenty cattle; and the
sheep are not all the time hooking
each other aud breaking down your
feaces. Iy believe that sheep hus
bandry' will be one of 'the greatest
industries of Nebraska, and a great
many of our farmers aro beginning
to realize the .importance of tbo
shepherd's vocation. Abel, the sup
posed twin-brother of the first-born
of the human race, was a keeper of
sheep; Abraham and most of tho
patriafcbFwere s-hepEerds, and it is
said of Rachel, tho favored mother
of tho Jewish race, that she came
with her Father's flocks, for she
kept them. The seven daughters of
tbeLPriestof Midian came and drew
Water" for their " Father's flocks ;
Hoses, the lawgiver who was learn
ed in all tho wisdom of the Egypt
ians, kopt the flocks of Jethro, his
father-in-law ; and David, the hero
poet and king, was a keeper of sheep.
Job had 14,000 sheep ; and it was to
shepherds keeping watch over their
&pckaiy,alght,jtbat-tho birth of the
Savior was announced.
Now, can any other calling show
b tjcb'a'recbfd'as thai? "I would say
to Nebraska farmers, get a few sheep
and tako care. of them and you will

Some ScHlbIe Advice te BmmI
ucut Men.
A great many of our merchants
aro good advertisers, from tho fact
that they carry ou a business, both
wholesale and retail, which enables
them to use primer's ink to quite an
advantage. They are liberal, and a
liberal man is easily duped and mis
led at a time when trade is good and
the inspiration of a temporary boom
is at its zenith. This is the very
moment when the tramp cauvasser
crosses the busiuess threshold and
unfolds a "ochome" for advertise
ment on the first page of soms
"snide" directory or guide that will
enablo the merchant to m-iko of the
uamo of his firm a houc.i old word
that will be more familiar to the
children even than that of the family
watch dog. Wo have no objection
to any legitimate channel of adver
tising, but when the oily-tongued
"tramp" comes along, who is too
lazy to work and too cowardly to
steal openly, it is time to put in a
word of caution. Papers are legiti
mate mediums through which legit
imate business should be advertised.
That course helps two enterprises
jointly, aud a livo town cau't Iivo
Ions: without live newspapers. So
we say to our merchants and busi
ness men generally, if you intend to
invest a dollar in an advertisement,
put it where it will do the most
good. As tho new year advances,
solicitors for all kinds of guides aud
aud directories will come among
you, who should be checkmated at
once. Just so soon as it gets abroad
that your city "is a cood town to
work," every sort of a schemer will
infest your streets, men who ought
to bo sawing wood for a living, try
to eke out an existence by soliciting
for some guido or other humbug.
It won't do. It ought to be stopped,
and wo hope our business meu will
givo the cold shoulder to all such
intruders. It is the homo paper that
builds up home industries, aud not
the tramp solicitors who canvass for
snide pamphlets, guides, etc. Coun

Milton lived in a time when
"learning" was hold of more account
thau original gifts, aud it was at 1'2
years of age that ho entered upon
that system of self development
which was to prepare him for the
great work he believed himself des
tined to achieve. When a boy of
12, he solzed learning, he tells us,
with such eagerness that he.scarcely
cvor went to bed before midnight ;
aud there is no sweeter picture than
that called to mind by Aubrey of
the little enthusiast poring over his
books at midnight while the family
are asleep and the maid servant is
sitting up for him. As a natural
consequence, when he was, at 15,
sent to St. Paul's School, he had
not for accomplishments, and per
haps for scholarship an eqaal of
his own age in England. And when
two years later, he went to Cam
bridge, it is no wouder the young
men were startled by the advent of
this peculiar kind of a ctudent, with
his fair hair, brilliant u..iplexion,
and lustrous eyes, of that ' e which
at one moment is called i, iy, at an
other blue. Though his features
were, perhaps, oveu then serious,
they wero of perfect symmetry,
while his courageous looks, his lithe
figure, erect, and of about the mid
dle height, seemed to indicate ex
actly the kind of youth needed at
Christ's in the frequent town and
gown "rows." It very soon became
evident, however, that bis appear
ance belied him. He was a good
swordsman undoubtedly, but be bad
no leisure to exhibit his skill; he
was given to late hours, but it wak
to rob from his sleep lime for study
ing all 6orts of subjects in all sorts
of tongues. In short, his habits and
morals were eccentric ; the first be
ing most absteminous, the second
most virtuous. The Athenaeum.
Many people sccin to imagine that
it is cheaper to print all of a paper
at home than to have a portion of it
published in some eastern city where
they print many thousand copies
with the samo reading mattcr,where
they have presses that will print
twenty papers to our one. There
are many other reasons for their
being enabled to print at lower
rates than we can but wo trust this
will servo to remove this erroneous
impression from the minds of our
readers. All the reading matter in
the papers having patent outsides is
materially tho 6aine, all being com
piled from the eastern papers; thus,
any ouo taking an eastern paper and
one of theso papers, only half of
which being printed at home, gets
the same news in one as is contained
in the othor. "We print both aides

gives better satisfaction to our read
ers and advertisers and to keep pace

To a casual observer of raapp; He
well as to the traveler by rail, very
little correct knowledge can be ac
quired ot the rich soil, salubribus
climate, puro water advantages and
resources of a state like Nebraska.
The soil must be examined by scien
tific analysis or cultivated by the
farmer to know what character of
crops it will produce. Both these
tests have been applied, and the fact
of their richness and durability iB
no longer doubted ; it has been pro
nounced under a caroful analysis,
approved by tho authority of the
state, to be tho richest soil in the
world, and rauging in thickness
from 5 to 150, and even 200 feet,
This investigation shows that over
eighty per cent, of the formation is
finely comminuted silica, so fine that
its true character can only bo de
tected under a microscope. Ten per
cent, of its substance is made up of
carbonates and phosphates of lime.
There aro some small amounts of
alkaline matter, iron and alumina;
the result being a soil that can uever
be exhausted until every hill and
valley which composes it is entirely
worn away. The richer Burface soil
overlies the sub soil, and it is from
18 Inches to 3 and 4, and even 6 feet
thick.
The next evidence of the richness
of Nebraska soil is obtained from the
crops raised by actual cultivation.
It is not unusual with the corn crop
to produce from 70 pounds of ears
60 to 63 pounds of shelled corn, or
four to seven pounds over the stand
ard, the general averago of produc-
tion, with average fair cultivation,
being 50 to 60 bushels per acre.
Great varieties of wheat are grown,
the yield being 15, 25 aud the Polish
variety yielding sometimes 30 to 35
bushels per acre; of barley a fair
yield is 30 to 40 bushels; of rye, 25
to 30, oats 40 to 50 bushels. Flax
produces 12 bushels per acre.
Tho area of the state comprises
75,995 square miles, or 46,625,800
acres, and is abont as
large
as all
tho New England slates, or all of
Pennsylvania and half of New York
Its length Is 412 miles, aud its width
about 200. The laud on the eastern
boundary is about 910 feel above sea
level, on tho western, about 5,000.
It is between the parallels of 40
and 43 north latitude, placing the
state in the latitude of Pennsylvania,
and sonthern New York, and north
ern California, nud southern Ore
gon. From the eastern to, the
western boundary of Nebraska,there
is a gradual rise in the land of abont
seven feet to the mile in eastern
Nebraska, and from that to ten feet
in the west; the eastern boundary is
910 feet above sea level, and the
western about5,000.
The coming spring bids fair, at
tho present time, for a large emigra
tion from the older states and for
eign countries to Nebraska, where
cheap and good lands can yet be
procured, either directly from the
government or improved lands from
those who want to make larger in
vestments in stock. It is of 'the
utmost importance to persons in
tending to locate in Nebraska that
they should receive reliable and
truthful information regarding the
state, and especially the richness and
productiveness of its Boil, and in
what we have written and what wo
may hereafter writo, most of our
facts are taken from & publication
issued by the State, approved by
Gov. Nance and F. M. Davis, Land
Commissioner, and any person de
siring further information by apply
ing to S. J. Alexander, Secrotary of
State, at Lincoln, Neb., will doubt
less be furnished with the publica
tion which treats of Nebraska and
its resources.

Stockmen, Atteatioa !
Some time since the Journal sub
mitted a problem to the stock raisers
of Platto county and Nebraska, con
cerning the iucrcase iu ten years
from one cow, supposing that tho
progeny bogau to bear at tho ago of,
three years, and that tho steer calves
aro changed for hoifcrs before that
time. J. W. Ziegler returned as
answer to that problem, 61 ; W. N.
McCandllsh made an improvement
on the problem, suggesting that, as
cattle wore kept hero in herds, the
progeny begin to come when the
cows are two years old. In the fol
lowing solution by our friend Bar
num,. he starts out the first year
with a cow and a calf, and just see
what ho makes of it. Is it any won
der that stock-raisers get rich ? To
be sure, in this calculation no allow
ance is mado for losses by disease,
accident or otherwise, but cattlo iu
this country are remarkably healthy
and a friend of ours who has kept
note for nino years, (tho 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 bo tho increase
from ono cow (with calf beside her)
supposing that all steer calves are
exchanged for heifers, and that the
heifers begiu to bear at the age f
two years.
When it is seen that the grass
costs little more than the wages of a
boy herding; the ha', in stack, $1,
or thereabouts, a ton, corn, for fattening,-10
to 20 cents a bushel, ac
cording to the season, it will not be
wondered at that Nebraska stock
raisers are on tho high road to in
dependence. But here aro Georgo's
figures," and we would bo glad
to have any error pointed out.
