The South Omaha Stockman says:
-Prominent Nebraska feeders are com

cattle which will 1 ready for the spring
markets. In addition to the high price
and scarcity of the article it is found
that the cattle do not seem to thrive so
well on the new corn. An extensive
feeder says it takes fully a third more
corn per head and that then the cattle
take on riesh very slowly. The only hope
for feeders, and in fact the only thing
that keeps the business going is the
prospect for good prices in the spring."

the business would not justify the com

car checker, it appears, the balance of
the yard force took exception and called
for their time, and declared their inten-
I tion of not resuming work until a car

outcome of the matter is that yardmas-

The publishers of the Homesterd,
the weekly twenty-four page agricultur
al paper of Des Moines. Ia- edited by a
practical farmer, inform us that they
will send their paper from now until the
first of next January, free of charge, to
every farmer in this county not already
a subscriber, who will send his name
and address, plainly written on a postal
card, to the Homestead Co., Des Moines.
Ia. The copies will be absolutely free,
and will be sent to any farmer to enable
him to judge for himself of the merits of
the Homestead as a paper devoted to his
special interests. On the first of Jan
nary the paper will be discontinued un
less subscribed for in due form. o0-4t
The editor of the Iowa Homestead
is personally known to many of our
readers, and into the publication over
which he presides he has the faculty of
getting more of practical worth to the
square inch of white paper, than any
similar publication we know of. Life is
too short, and the demands of our west
ern farm life are too many and urgent to
waste time reading eastern farm period
icals mainly taken up with something
appropriate only to their own locality.
See the proposition elsewhere of the
Homestead Co and if yon don't wish
to bother sending for their paper, call at
this office, and we will take your sub
scription, along with that of The Jocb
nal. both papers, when paid one year in
advance, for 52.73. tf

to live long enough to regret it. The

A teachers meeting, local in charac
ter, was held at Palestine school house
last Saturday. We are told that the
attendance was gi.od. mostly teachers of
that locality beinj; present. Prof. Cra
mer, county superintendent of public
instruction, spoke at length from nottrs
of observation made while visiting the
schools in that locality. He made many
suggestions for the improvement of
methods and character of work, and
illustrated them by simple means. The
teachers participated by asking ques
tions and making suggestions of their
own. Another meeting of this character
will be held at O'Kay in the near future.
Messrs. Dannals and Oibbon were ap
pointed a committee to arrange matters
for the meeting. This idea of local
meetings for conference with the super
intendent and each other.is novel in this
locality, and will be of vast benefit to our
schools and teachers. The superintend
ent took a decided stand in favor of a
change in the language work of the
schools, and illustrated at length a
means to this end. He also strongly
advocated the use of algebra, in those
schools. His views met with very gen
ral approval. ,

Sehuijfcacu. chairman of the relief com
mittee, a reprter for The Jockx.m. V:is
given, an approximate estimate of the
conteats of the car, and allowed to take
a peep at the same as it lay in sacks and
boxes' all snugly and securely stowed
away in the car. The car contained
about 2MI0 pounds of Hour. 3) pounds
of meaLone large box of groceries, 12
boxes of clothing for men, women ;md
i children, all of which we wer.e informed
by Mr.Schupbach was not worn out cast
offs hv anv means, but the most of it
good warm clothing but slightly worn
practically almost as good as new. In
addition to the large loxes were a nnra
ler of barrels and bundles of clothing
equally as good and packages of meat,
smoked ham. etc- and other minor arti-
cles too nunien;is to mention, making a
donation which ill carry gladness jmd
hope to the heart of many worthy, desti
tute and suffering people. The money
from cash contributions was mainly de
voted to the purchase of llour furnished
from the mill of Jaeggi at jjchupbach at
a very low figure for the quality, which,
while not patent, was of excellent eata
ble quality, and calculated to make the
money go the furthest in furnishing
good life-sustaining bread.
Columbus has done nobly in her re
sponse to the appeal for help ami in this
connection we will say that the relief
committee wish us to tender their thanks
to the cituens of the city for their
prompt and generous response when
called upon for donations. Also, mem
bers of the farmers alliance south of the
river come in for hearty praise for a vol
untary donation of about twenty sacks
of Hour and other valuables.

The ordinance of baptism will lu- ad
ministered on Sunday eve at the Baptist
church.
Quite a number in thi neighborhood
responded to the call for clothing for
the Thanksgiving car." Some even
forgot their own sorrow Ion:: enough to
remember those starving ones, in
the west. "BieSried is he that reuiemler-
eth the poor."
After weeks of suffering onr friend
and neighbor Mr. Berlin. r.. left us for
the "Summer land on Monday, the 24th
mst. Had he lived till Christmas he
would have been 73 years of age. He
leaves an aeil companion in feeble
health, one daughter. Mrs. Peter Welen,
and four sons. Suen of Kewanee, 111..
John, who resides on the homestead and
Nels. living in the neighborhood. Olaf
who has been absent several years. If
alive his present residence is unknown.
Mr. Berlin united with the Baptist
church in Sweden, when to be a Baptist
meant the most bitter persecution.
After coming to this place he united
with the church here. His death is the
first that has occurred in the chnrch for
eleven years.

Nelniville.
Neboville is still alive and prospering.
Notwithstanding the hard times im
provements are going on as usual, the
large barns of J. Doersh and Cart Har
napp are among the latest.
Corn ia about all husked and fed.
Fat hogs that is hoirs that should 1
fat are about all sold. Very few cattle
fed in this vicinity and those seem to be
very nnwillimr to get fat on corn fodder.
Stock hogs and shoats can be seen
daily wandering around squealing in
day time and dreamimr at nu:ht of th
corn that is not.
Wheat and outa tvere a pretty fair
crop, corn yielded from ten to thirty
bushels, an acre.
It is pretty hard to get at the average
potato yield: farmers all say they are
diur. but we have not lwught any yet.
The recent rain and snow have made
us more hopeful for next year as there is
more moisture in the sod.
Several neighbors who intended to
deepen their wells or dig new ones have
aliandoned the idea, as prohibition hai
gone to the Ixrttoajihey rightly con
jecture that the deanftd for water will
not l.e so great for some time.
We just wonder a little, whether Mr.
Beal who carried off one of Neljoville's
fair lelles in ueh a hurry, was not afraid
of hearing the Xeboville lvells ring?
Never mind JIason we'll catch yon some
other time, fair play is all the boys wish.
