We recently passed a few hours un
der the hospitable roof of Jno. H. Sac
rider, who is wellknown to many of our
Platte county readers. Sixteen years
ago Mr. Sacrider homeeteaded his pres
ent farm of 160 acres, the NE of 21,
18, 3 w., coming that year from Henry
county, HL He has good improvements,
and one hundred acres under the plow..
He finds corn and oats his best-paying
crops. He believes in fall plowing for
corn, for several reasons: the ground
better absorbs moisture from snow; the
action of the frost is more thorough in
pulverizing the soil; the weeds are more
effectually killed, and last but not least
the soil is ready in the spring, as soon as
the weather permits, for the planting of
the seed. Mr. S. is very fond of fruit,
and, according to our taste, his grapes
are among the best in the country, and
he has plenty of them, 200 vines of the
Concord, the older hundred, set out two
years? ago, bearing abundantly this sea
son. He showed us a bit of a curiosity
in tlto shape of a grape vine, small,
tough-looking, never having born any,
and sixteen years old. He thinks by a
few more years of care, it will come to
time. Mr. S. has 200 cherry trees, early
and late Richmond and Morello, besides
a large number of apple trees. He hds
no doubt about growing fruit in Nebras
ka, because on his farm and in the
neighborhood there is abundant proof
that fruit trees will do well, even pears.
He told us that he had procured a 'con
siderable portion of his stock from W.'E.

Robt. T. Lisco has one of the neat
est farms in the county. In the valley
between the Loup and Platte rivers the
soil is very rich and always productive.
Of his 230 acres, 100 were this year de
voted to corn, and 20 acres to sweet
corn, which he raised under a contract
with Ferry, the noted dealer in garden,
field and vegetable seeds. Nebraska and
Kansas, by the way, are noted all over
the country for furnishing the best seeds
grown. Mr. Lisco's groves of forest
trees looked very thrifty, some of the
cottonwoods of twelve years growth be
ing more than a foot in diameter. He
has had some experience with tame
grass, thinking most of alfalfa and timo
thy. The day we were at his place he
was engaged with a carpenter building
a granary, 16x32.

We have no doubt that a good deal
of the success of the state fair was owing
to. the ability of R. H. Henry of this

cattle, 546 horses; 100 additional stalls
for horses were put up, 100, too, for cat
tle, and then a number of telegrams

stock that they could not be furnished.

through your widely read paper an er

not aware until a few weeks ago. I
therefore permitted Mr. Stencel lato in
the spring to put a couple of colts in my
pasture. All through the suiumor I saw
these and all the colts in my pasture
every few days, and never observed any
thing wrong about them. A few weeks
ago, however, I was informed that one
of Mr. Stencel's colts was running from
the nose, and finding this to to the case,
1 promptly reqnosted Mr. S. to take his
colts out which he did at once, although,
as far as I could judge, that colt only
had a little harmless distemper. Since
that time, I have inspected tho colts in
my pasture, again and again, but cannot
see the least symtom of any disease
whatever. I have three colts of my own
in the lot, no one else having moro than
two there. I invito any and everybody
to see for thomselves rather than believe
an orroneous report.

The Potter sisters are the only ar
tists in their line that ever appeared in
the White House. Read the following
beautiful compliment from the late
Chester A. Arthur: It has been mv
pleasure to know and hear the Potter
Sisters. At my request they entertained
a critical, but admiring few, at the
White House. To one who appreciates
the difficulty of attaining perfection in
art, to one who feels the stubbornness of
numan capacity and its reluctance to
develop in more than one direction, the
charming excellence, the manifest cul
ture, the versatility and the superiority
in general of the powers of the Potter
Sisters, come almost as a revelation, and
compel unqualified admiration and
loudest praise. They seem to have at
tained the perfection of art. Their
varied attitudes remain in the memory
like so many statues of surpassing bean-
ties. In tragedy, in comedy, in pathos,
they sem equally at home. Their con
cert readings are marvels of ingenuity
and training. Two voices as one blend
ing in unbroken unison, gestures in
such perfect harmony, and attitudes
changing with such perfect accuracy as
to disarm the critic of his captious pen,
and comttel involuntary bursts of rap
turous applause. For compass, sweet
ness, volume, flexibility, purity and res
onance, I have never heard their voices
equalled. The United States may justly
honor these brilliant artists.

Apiary Display or 31rs. .1. X. Heater.
This exhibit by Mrs. J. N. Heater of
Columbus, Neb., consists of comb and
extracted honey, wax, imnlcmont and
apiary supplies. It is tastefully ar
ranged, striking in appearance and is
admitted by ail judges to be the best
ever made in the state. Various articles
of tho display were awarded first pre
mium and the general verdict of all is
that as a bee-keeper Mrs. Heater has no
equal in Nebraska. She has studied tho
science for years and has embarked in
tho enterprise in a purely business man
nor. Such an exhibit ;is this is the best
means of getting before tho people tho
fact that for boo keeping the natural re
sources of Nebraska aro among the fore
most states of the union. This fact has
been unrecognized, but nevertheless
there is a wide field for labor in this
direction and the sooner it is utilized
tho better, for as a paying investment no
other business equals beo-konin

nice at all any more, but had become a

hates to vote for nice young men, be

vote for John Huber as sheriff, bccaiiso
John has lieforo been an efficient officer
and as a man of fixed character, ho can
not be spoiled anymore. He would also

The writer stated in his last commun
ication that Cornlea promised to bo the
best grain market in tho county, but the
onouie is bursted already. Tho two
buyers tried to l)eat each other, but they
have now said, "let us havo peace! for
this thing brings only money into the
pockets of tho farmors and takes it out
of ours." Hcnco they aro paying no
more nnd may be a littlo loss than at
other markets. Let farmers mako a
note of it and "look before they leap."
Tho writer was buyinir an article at
another place. He told tho man in at
tendance, "this article is sold in Colum

"wo wanted to sell it cheaper too, but

and wo havo to keep good friends, you
know." Where is tho law of demand
