A Boy who Sluulc to Farntinsr.
A writer in Country Gentleman
says: "When a boy ironi ten to four
teen years of age, 1 was taught to
milk and do other ''chores" night
and morning, before and after school
hours. My father was a farmer as
well as a politician. He pastured
bis cattle upon the meadows after
mowing, and in the late autumn and
midwinter, when the ground was
bare, all the heaps or ball of debris
on the meadows and pasture were
brckeii by using a maul. Saturday
waB vacation from school, and I
worked at scattering the debris on
the pasture lands, Leing paid by my
father ten cents a day for ten hours.
I accumulated $2, for which my
father sold me a" heifer calf, and
bargained to keep it for me by my
working half a day each week. This
I did, and at the end of oue year I
exchanged my heifer with my father
for two male calves. Almost every
day after these calves were two
weeks old I occupied my 6pare time
in teaching them to work in the
yoke a small one, with two bows,
which a friend made for me. At
two months old they would "gee"
aud "haw" as well as old oxen.
They were then turned to pasture
uutil September. When my father
was mowing the grass on his salt
meadows, situated on the borders of
Long Island Sound, these calves
were taken and used to lead the
heaviest cattle team over the mead
ows. Again, they were used in
midwinter to lead the team in break
ing in histwo ycar-olde. As these
calves or yduug steers grew up, I
taught tho near ox to let me ride
him, while the off ox would come
along in his place, aud so I often
drove my father's stock from the
pasture to the barn-yard. So much
for my early "choiing" aud team
work.
After I was thirtccu my father
gave mo a piece of ground each year,
that I could plant and work on
Bbares, and if I wauled help I had
to give two days of my time to the
hired man's one day. I grew just
what my fancy aud reading dictated,
sad from the proceeds I dressed as
well as any of the boys of the pres
ent time. I always had some time
to play, and time to read, and now
look back with love and pleasant
thoughts to the old farm, and the
farm hand who taught me to use
tools, to hold the plow and to bring
the heel of my scythe so as to leave
the swath clean and true. Once,
when driving the ox team to the
plow, I failed in keeping them in a
straight Hue at the end of a furrow,
but 1 danced for it when the plow
man took the whip from my hands
and laid it heavily over my back
and lege. I always afterward drove
the team out straight, and I have
tried to drive it straight now over
Bcventy years.
The remembrance of my own boy
hood has always induced me to
favor all items of encouragement at
borne on the farm, and I believe if
it were more generally practiced we
Bhould have more good farmers and
fewer broken-down merchants, or
loafing, banging on time serving
clerks, ready for anything except
manly, honorable labor and useful
ness, belonging to the highest order
of creation.
Cm tic tm. Grain.
Never since Nebraska was a State
has the demand for cattle been so
great; every well-to-do farmer in
the State wants a lot of feeders for
his corn. The crop is immense ami
he can get more out of it by feeding
it than any other way. The number
of two-years olds in the State was
insufficient to supply home demands,
yet a large number have been sold
to Illinois and Iowa farmers. Our
farmers had cattle to sell, received
good prices, aud each of them is now
nearly certain that there is more
money in cattle than in wheat. We
hope that each of them will as fast
as his circumstances will permit
make the chauge from graiu to cat
tle. Keep your females to breed
from ; grade up well with thorough
bred bulls, sell your male animals to
the large cattle grazers out west,
when yearlings especially those
that, are of good form. By the time
your herd has reached one hundred
bead ycu will find that you have a
better income than you cau ever
have from a 1G0 acre grain farm.
The defective males those not well
proportioned should be castrated
and held as feeders aud put in fine
condition to ship at two years of
age. Let us turn our wheat fields
into clover and timothy, aud fence
enough of them at least for a good
"night pasture," and then herd dur
ing the day and turn iuto the pas
ture at nightfall. The great states
of Iowa and Illinois are to be, and
are now to a great exteut, tho great
cattle feeding country of America,
and" Nebraska, with its boundless
grazing country, will be looked to
for the same feeders. Farmers east
of the Missouri have not the pasture
upon which to raise young cattle.
They are convenient to the markets,
and can market their grain at rea
sonable prices, and can afford to buy
their feeders. ITebraskaJFanner.
A young man who held a loaded
pistol to bis bead, and threatened to
blow bis brains out unless the girl
who" bad refused him would consent
to have him,coolly told by the young
lady he would have (o blow some
brains into his bead first. He didn't
blow.
Corn and Hog.
Farmers are frequently at a loss to
settle the question of the relative
value of corn to cheap hogs, for the
reason that the hogs are on hand
and must be either prepared for
market, or they must be kept and
increased in number to cat the com
ing cheap crop of corn. It is easy
to calculate what one is doing in
hog feeding. If the hogs are the
right breed, thrifty and hearty as
they should be, every five and six
tenths pounds of coru should add
oue pound to a hog. Or, a bushel
of corn should produce ten pounds
of pork. If they do not do this there
is either a deficiency in the hogs, or
bad management in feeding. Then
if oue bushel of corn represents ten
pounds of pork, if pork be $3 for 100
pounds the feeder will be getting 30
cents per bushel for his corn. If
pork is $4, ho gets forty cents for
his corn. But if the winter be cold,
and the hog quarters bad, a bushel
will not produce live pounds of
pork, aud in cold and muddy pens
it is difficult to increase any, so that
time and corn are thrown away.
Aud too much of this kind of busi
ness is done in the west. Our hog
pens for winter are not comfortable
enough to enable the owner to get
10 cents a bushel for corn wheu
feeding is done uutil late in the
winter. Hogs must be fattened in
September and October and turned
off in November; very warm quar
ters must bo prepared for them.
There is no disputing this fact, aud
farmers must apply themselves to
this business. Too much ot the
caloric of the bodies of hogs, horses
and cattle is blown off in tho winds
which has to be supplied by rich
food which should go to increasing
fat, instead of expended :u keeping
up tho warmth of the body.
When the sensational "Minister of
the Gospel" is not on trial for mur
dering a girl whom ho 'has ruined,
or for attempting to poison his wife,
or for running away with his wife's
sister, or for deserting his children,
or for breaking up his neighbor's
home when, in a word, ho is not
otherwise eugaged, he seeks noto
riety by endeavoring to check the
tide of charity for Ireland which is
sweeping over the entire civilized
globe. His narrow intellect aud his
crab-apple heart aro not capable of
understanding or feeling that it is
infamous to talk to a starving man
of creed. Food is what he wants.
Be he Protestant, Papist, Jew, Gen
tile, or Mohamedan, tho proper way
to treat a starving man is to feed
him. "When Chicago was in ashes
the people of Ireland did not ask the
cause of it, but sent their money, and
plenty of it, to aid our houseless
people. "When yellow fever was
devastating the South, the Catholics
of the United States did not tell
Memphis or New Orleans that they
didn't deserve sympathy because
they were Protestants and neglected
their sewerd. They gave assistance
first of all. Wheu the people of
America the enlightened Christian
people subscribe money for the re
lief of Ireland, they do so without
inquiring into the creed of the peo
ple who are to receive the benefit of
it. Noue but the narrow-minded
bigots (and, thank Heaven, there aro
few of them) would say, like the
sensational preacher, "Theso people
deserve but little sympathy; they
are Papists aud whisky-drinkers.''
The first charge is Iruo; but what of
it ? The second is not true ; there
is less whisky drank in Ireland than
in Illinois. Chicaqo News.
.Senator Paddock.
Of course the Democracy of Ne
braska know that they caunol elect
a Senator of their own political
faith, aud so they are free to express
their preferences solely in the pub
lic interests. It is not surprising,
therefore, to find them in favor of
Senator Paddock, who has been un
tiring in his work for the State's
best interests. A Washington cor
respondent of the Omaha Herald
has this to say :
It would surprise many of this
gentleman's friends if they could be
present in the Seuato occasionally
wheu he addresses that body. It is
true the Senator does not make long
speeches, but his remarks are always
well delivered and receive careful
attention. Tho other day for in
stance, when Senator Windom
moved to adjourn over from Thurs
day to Monday. The Senator was
instantly upon his feet and in ob
jecting thereto, he berated that
dignified body soundly for their
neglect of the public interest. He
dwelt for several minutes upon the
large amount of business awaiting
their attention and was so effective
that he carried a majority with him,
aud the Senate adjourned till only
next da. Senator Paddock com
mands the entire respect and esteem
of brother Senators and if the re
publicans have the selection they
will make a grave error if they do
not return him to a position which
he fills in such an honorable and
useful manner.
In a Connecticut district school a
little boy, six years old, was seen
to whisper, but denied doing so
when reproved by the teacher. He
was told to remain after school,
when the teacher, trying to impress
upon his youthful mind tho sinful
ness of not speaking the truth, asked
him if they did not tell him in Sunday-school
where all boys went
who told falsehoods, choking with
sobs, he said: "Yes, marm; it's
a place where there is a fire, but I
don't just remember the name of
the town."
The City Ooj'm Lll'e.'
Not having much to do, i have
taken to thinking much of late about
the boys of our cities. For one who
lives in the city, that is not a very
strange thing to do ; a good many
boys are in sight as oue walks
about; you find them not only in
the school-houses and the school
yards, but on the corners of the
streets, and in the alleys and the
vacant lots; and whenever a ball
match is about to begin in the Park,
you see crowds of them faring ea
gerly that way.
Here and there you find boys at
work : there are cash-boys and
news-boys and office-boys and messenger-boys
and shop-boys aud
boot-blacks and garbage-boys,
some very honest and manly little
chaps, too, in that unpoetic branch
of business. Indeed, there are
quite agood many boys in every
city who are hard at work evorday,
helping to support themselves, aud
perhaps their mothers, too.
But, besides theso boys who work,
there arc not a few who have a
great deal of time on their hands.
Some of the school boys study out
of school, but most of them, I fear,
do not; and these, especially the
high 6chool boys, have much the
largest portion of their waking
hours to spend either in play or in
idleness, or in what is much worse
than either play or idleness. Many
of these are the sons of wealthy or
well-to-do people; many others are
children of the poor. They sleep
eight hours of tho twenty-four, and
this part of their time is well im
proved ; when they aro asleep they
aro all very good boys. Then they
are in school four and-a-half or five
hours; that makes, say thirteeu
hours ; and they spend, perhaps, two
hours at their meals, and on their
way to and from school, making
fifteen hours; and that leaves nine
hours which those of them who do
not study eut of school havo to
spend in amusing themselves. One
whole work-day in every week is a.
holiday, aud that is devoted wholly
to play or idleness. About thirteen
weeks of every year aro vacation
weeks, and in these there is noth
ing at all to do. Now let us figure
it up. One-quarter of the working
time of every year is vacation time.
Of the three-quarters left, one-sixth
of three-quarters is one-eighth ; a
quarter added to an eighth is three
eights. Of the five-eights of the
working time left, about three-fifths
is spent in idleness or diversion, and
three-fifths of five-eights is three
eights; this added to tho three
eights we had beforo makes three
fourths, three-quarters of the
working lime of every year spent in
fun or in idleness.
Even those boys who study an
hour or two out of school, on school
days, but who have no other work
to do, have fully half of the working
time of every year for their own
amusement.
Now, I like to see boys playing
and I would deuy myself a great
many things rather than have my
boys forced to work as constantly
as I did, and with so little respite
for fun as I had when I was a boy :
but, after all, it seems to me that it
is a grave question whether a boy
who spends three-quarters, or even
half, of the working time of every
year in amusing himself is not car
rying it a little too far; whether,
indeed, such a life as this is the
kind of lifo that a boy ought to be
leading from his tenth to his eigh
teenth year; whether this is the beRt
way for him to fit himself for the
serious word of life. St. Nicholas

Nebraska.
Another evidence of tho richness
of the soil of Nebraska is found in
the fact of the number and great
growth of the native grasses, which
afford the very best pasturage from
early spring until the month of No
vember. Those who have investi
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer than one
hundred aud fifty species. Among
other varieties the blue-joint grows
everywhere in the State except on
the low bottom lands. In ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi
tions its growth is -from two aud a
half to four feet, and often on culti
vated grounds it will grow to the
height of seven and ten feet. On the
up-Iands, blue-joint grows in groat
abundance and is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo grass now in the
greatest quantity is found in the
western half of the State. This, it is
claimed, disappears before cultiva
tion, but it is nature's provision of
food for grain-eating animals during
winter, wheu the animals aro com
pelled to remain on the prairie, as it
retains its nutriment all tho year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundantly in the State are
several varieties of buuch grass ; and
in the low lands a native blue-grass,
and what is known as the spangle
top, which makes an excellent qual
ity of hay.
It was a question among the first
seltlcra of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully grown in the
State or not, but finding tho wild
fruits, such as plums, grappa, and
gooseberries growing in abundance,
it was thought that apple orchards
mignt oo cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the earlier settlers in
the eastern part of tho Stale planted
their orchards and their first plant
ings failed, but they persevered and
the result has been a complete suc
cess. Nobraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced in
other states. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va., one
huudred and forty-six varieties of
apples, filteen of peaches, thirteeu of
pears, one of plums, and one of
grapes, and was awarded the first
premium for the best collection of
fruit among all the States. Tho
fruits of Nebraska have been exhib
ited at Boston, Chicago and at the
International Exhibition in 1S7G, the
judges awarding prizes for eight
varieties of pears, large, smooth and
well colored, and for two hundred
and sixty-three varietien of apples,
the latter prize being for the unusu
ally large number of finely grown
varieties. Instead of orchards flour
ishing only in tho eastern part of the
State and near the Missouri river,
they do well away out ou tho prairie
wherever nature's conditions of
growing fruit are observed.
The last legislature passed a bill
giving Hie people of the State a
chance to vote on their preference
U. S. Senator, of course we are not
foolish enough to believe that the
legislature will pay much attention
to the voice of the people when
they come to vote on that subject.
Senator Paddock the present incum
bent should be returned by the peo
ple of the State, because he has
proven himself competent and the
right man for the place, he is
careful about what ho says and
when he does speak, it is to the
point and in as few words as pos
sible. He is a hard worker and has
done some good for Nebraska. He
has the advantage of a now man in
being familiarwith the duties of his
office. Pierce Co. Call.
