From the Bichland correspondence
of the Schuyler Quill we 'clip the follow
ing reference. Columbus's quota of
belles is not at all limited, and if any are
needed elsewhere whv you know where
to find them: "One of our dashing he
roes, who thought himself a special
favorite with a certain family of young
ladies, made one of them very much dis
gusted by prevailing upon her to attend
the necktie party with him. Another
fellow took the girl, but the former, not
to lie outdone by his rival, began to
skirmish for a pard. He found one in
Columbus in the form of a very attrac
tive lit tie high school student, who, after
being introduced all around (for she was
an entire stranger), became the belle of
the evening. Ah, there! There are no
Hies on Johnnie."
A full and satisfactory report of the
proceedings of the Farmers' Institute of
last Thursday and Friday would require
all the pages of Tbk JornvAT- We
shall, from time to time, as we have
space, give in full the papers read, and
hereby solicit the same from those who
prepared them. There were some
breaks in the program as published, but
the work of the institute was well done
and will have a lasting intluence upon
farming in Platte county; there ought
to be one of these gatherings every few
months. Ex-Governor Furnas and S. C.
Basset t were very well pleased with the
institute, and farmers feel very grateful
to them for their attendance and for
their words of 'wisdom. This region of
Nebraska has a large number of farmers
and stock raisers who know what they
are doing and are capable of telling it,
as was demonstrated at this first annual
meeting. The Journal hopes to see
another institute shortly, and in the
meantime let the interest be kept up.
Please send us the papers read we will
prepare them for publication. That of
Mrs. Heater is at hand and will appear
in next week's Journai.
While at South Omaha Saturday
we met D. Anderson, formerly of this
city, also Harry Ames and C. P. Miller;
all were well and prosperous. Mr. An
derson said that his daughter, Mrs. Fen
ner, had been afflicted with la grippe.
South Omaha continues to make
lengthy and rapid strides in the way of
material progress. It is wonderful the
rapid rise in value of real estate in that
city. Two lots that four years ago were
purchased for $700 are now held at
$50,500, an offer of $50,000 having been
refused last week. A motor line from
the fair grounds in Omaha, runs into
South Omaha, along the ridge east of
the U. P. track. Trains go every ten
minutes. It is the intention to extend
this improvement by a lonp line through
the city. The explosion of two boilers
Saturday forenoon at the Armour
Cudahy packing house was the greatest
calamity that the young city has ex
perienced. Three men were instantly
killed, and eleven others injured. At
three o'clock, when we visited the scene
of the disaster, hundreds of men were
engaged in removing obstructions, and
one lifeless body was reached and pre
sented a most horrible sight, blackened
beyond recognition, skull burst, and
flesh torn and cooked, it seems almost
a marvel that the living, witnessing such
scenes, would take their chances for
such a death. It was not known
whether a dry boiler or the falling of
walls had caused the explosion. The
loss to the company was estimated at
$25,000 to $30,000, fully covered by in-amrance.

The many friends of the little lady
will lie pleased to read the letter:
Carlsbad, San Diego County, Cal.,
Jan. 11, 1890. Dear teacher and schol
ars: After a long but pleasant trip we
arrived here at 12:90 m., on the 21st of
December. We left home on December
17th at 10 o'clock p. dl, and on the
morning of the 18th took breakfast at
Cheyenne. We saw little, flat, one story
buildings called ranch bouses on
that morning, then we traveled
mostly through a treeless, hilly
country. On our way west of Cheyenne
up to Sherman, the snow was lying on
the sides of the hills, in some places.
There were no children on the car ex
cept Albert and me. We passed through
several snow sheds, one of them about
twenty miles west of Cheyenne. In
some places on the mountains we saw
the little mountain cedars growing.
At Sherman, the highest elevation on
the Union and Central Pacific railroad,
we saw Ames's monument. It was quite
large and built of red stone. Here we
also saw a natural monument formed out
of rock. Next we passed through three
snow sheds that were close together.
Dale Creek bridge is the highest bridge
on the Union and Western Pacific rail
road. Between Cheyenne and Laramie
the road is cut through solid rock in
many places.
Descending the Black Hills into the
Laramie plainB we saw some beautiful
scenery. Next another snow shed. The
Laramie plains look to lie twelve or
fifteen miles wide and it was a very
pretty plain. The railroad town Lara
mie has gas works, rolling mills and
foundries. After leaving Laramie we
crossed the liver of same name, and it
was a nice little stream about iiri reel
wide. Then another snow shed. Small
herds of cattle and horses, and flocks of
sheep were roaming over the plains. We
passed through a little mining camp
where almost all the houses were built
alike.
Some of the rooks looked like pressed
hay. One tunnel was cut right through
a rock. Sometimes the clouds looked as
though they were lying right on the tops
of the mountains.
Rawlins was another nice little station,
the end of a division, supplied with
round houses and machine shops. That
night we went to bed at Green River and
the next morning found ourselves at
Wells, Nev. It was a pretty little sta
tion with snow covered peaks on all
sides. Here we met some Indians.
At Elco, a breakfast station, we saw
the first snow drifting. After leaving
Elcho the snow began to fall and looked
as though a blizzard was coming. We
then passed through a canon and reach
ed Carlin, then passed on through a
valley and then into a canon several
miles long and next reached another
valley. Here a nice little stream ran
along by the side of the track. Another
little station at the end of a division was
Winnamucca, and here we saw the first
trees of any size growing after we left
Nebraska.
On the morning of the 20th we arrived
at Sacramento, at (i a. m., took breakfast
at tne western xiotei ami at : a. m.,
boarded the train for Los Angeles.
Here we saw the first flowers growing in
the gardens, and a little farther out
cabbage and vegetables of all kinds.
Everything was green like summer in
Nebraska.
Stockton was the nicest town next
after we left Sacramento. Thence along
our route there were large fields of grain
extending as far as the eye could see.
The grain was coming up and was then
about a finger length above the ground.
There were but few people on the train
that day.
On the morning of the 21st we arrived
at Los Angeles at 7 o'clock and took
breakfast at the depot after which we
transferred to another depot and at 8:25
left for Carlsliad.
We passed some orange groves and
they looked very pretty with the or
anges hanging on the trees as thick as
they could hang. Roses, lillies, and
other flowers that are in the gardens are
looking perfectly lieautiful. We passed
a little station that had beautiful build
ings but. it 'had lieen deserted. The
sheep looked so .pretty as they were
catering on the sides of the hills.
We have lieen having very heavy rains.
The t rack washed out in many places,
and for a few days we had no trains. We
sjtent Christmas at Schntte's where we
stay. It rained all day, but no matter
abont that, we had a pleasant time.
New Year's we were out to Wadsworth's
and enjoyed ourselves greatly.
The ocean is perfectly grand. It seems
so nice to be able to go on the beach and
gat her shells and moss. A drive on the
lieach when the tide is ont is fine.
I have become acquainted with a
great many little girls, and one evening
Mr. and Mrs, Wadsworth gave a little
party for me which I enjoyed very
much.
We are all well besides papa, his foot
is healing very slowly, and I hope this
will find the Columbus folks well.
Your affectionate scholar and schoolmate

Keriiii Itooko on the Farm.
Does it pay to keep books on the farm?
To determine this we must first consider
the benefits derived from keeping a set
of books, and then the expense, includ
ing labor of keeping them. A set of
books, however, does not mean to the
average farmer any such expenditure of
time or money as it does to the mer
chant who does even a very moderate
business, but can he kept in good shape
by using a very few minutes each day
and a few winter evenings. Bookkeep
ing is defined as "the art of keeping ac
counts in such a uianner that a person
may, at any time, know the true state of
his business by an inspection of his
books." The farmer's bookkeeping,
however, should not be confined strictly
to his accounts. A journal, ordinary, if
suitably kept, is a book which is of real
value to any farmer. More iieople would
keep a journal if they started out in a
way that they could afford to keep up.
People sometimes, for instance, start ont
to write a minute description of each
day8 doings, occupying half a page, or
more. Such journals are long at the be
ginning, but their beginning and natural
death are usually near together. But if
a farmer will make a daily record of im
portant matters, averaging two lines or
less, he will be quite apt to keep it up.
A cash account should always be kept
by overy farmer. But scarcely less im
portant is a careful summary of the
cash received and paid during each year,
that is, that one may know how much
his groceries, lumber, implements, etc.,
cost him by the year, also his yearlv in
come from his hogs, his cattle and his
other products, each summed up hv
itself.
The .summary shows almost at a glance
where improvement can lie made, while
no intelligent idea would be obtained
from the confused items in the cash
account. Through carelessuess or mis
take, bills are occasionally presented for
payment after having once lieen iaid.
The man who has a careful, dated ac
count is prepared for this, and can often
save enough to pay for keeping his ac
count, in this way alone. On the other
hand, an honest bill is sometimes pre
sented when the farmer thinks he has
paid it. If the farmer's account shows
that the hill is unpaid, he is convinced
at once, otherwise there may be hard
feelings on one or both sides.
The farmer from his accounts may
know whether he is making or losing
money, and which part of his business
is profitable and whicli is not.
One thing we often read in the papers
is "Farmers, keep accounts with your
fields." How many of us do it? Would
it pay? These are questions which
mifclit lie discussed a little with profit.
But there is a short way of keeping an
account with a field, and' that is to keep
track of how many days' work is put on
it. When the crop is in the crib, gran
ary, or cellar, as the case may lie, you
can very easily learn how much a bushel
cost you. For instance, forty acres of
corn will take a man and team about
forty days work to get it ready to tassel.
and almut forty more to crib it, if he
does all his work well and he has a fair
season. This if boiled down a little,
gives: an acre of corn costs a day with a
team before husking and, if a fair yield,
costs 'as much more to crib it. The use
of the land at present is worth about tlfe
same as another day with team. The
cost of the man and team, and plow, cul
tivator or wagonis the case may be, will
vary with different farmers. For ex
ample, let it be reckoned at S3 a day.
Small corn costs as much per acre to
husk as large corn, so that the difference
in cost of husking good and poor crops
is not always in proportion to the yield.
It is evident that corn yielding thirty
bushels per acre costs nearly twice as
much per bushel as corn yielding sixtv
bushels. Allowing S3 a day for man,
team and implements, corn yielding six
ty bushels an acre would cost 15 cents a
bushel in the erib. I believe, however,
that S3 a day is more than it costs one
farmer in twenty.
For myself I have thought that ac
counts with farm stock were more
trouble to keep intelligently than others.
I do not know what my animals have
cost me, except in a general way. But I
believe that I, and a great many other
Platte county farmers, have kept more
or less animals at an actual loss, simply
because we did not know, as well as we
might,what return they were making for
the food and care given. When fatten
ing animals, if a stock scale is at hand,
one can tell exactly what 'gain is made
from a given amount of food, but without
the scale it is always guess work. A
wagon scale, I believe, ought to be own
ed by every man who sells fifty hogs in a
year. One that will weigh up to two
tons may be bought for abont half the
price of the five-ton scales, and it would
not take the average farmer very long to
lose enough for want a scale to pav for
one.
I believe that a labor account, like the
cash account, would be of real valne to
the farmer, and for a similar reason. If
be knew how many days' work he spent
last year in going to town, it might as
tonish many a farmer when compared
with the number of days behind the
plow or cultivator. But exactly aa a
cash account may help us to spend our
cash wisely, a labor account would ahow
us whether we could improve on our ex
penditure of work.
Another book we should not fail to
keep carefully is the file of receipts for
money paid other parties. Of course we
only occasionally take a receipt, but
they will be worth saving as long as any
man is careless or dishonest enough t
present a bill for payment after having
been paid. The expense of all these ac
counts I have mentioned need not cost
the average farmer more than five or ten
minutes a day and two or three winter
evenings to sum up in. Fifty cents a
year would cover the cost of stationery.
How long would a merchant expect to
succeed without any acconnts, even if he
did a cash business? If acconnts are
necessary to the merchant, they will
certainly be profitable to the farmer.
Tearher' Meeting.
The next meeting of the County
Teachers' association will take place alt
Platte Center, Saturday, March 1st, lie
ginning at 10 o'clock a. ni. Owing to the
great length of the program, two ses
