There are so many horses in the country that it is a pity the owners can not find some new use for them so as to make them a profit instead of a loss. It is no joke for a farmer to keep a score or more of horses several years, merely on .a supposition that possibly they may be of some value after a while, and still no prospect in sight Albums, Dressing Cases, Collar and Cuff Boxes, etc. A thousand and one beautiful presents for Christmas.

Hog receipts for the week numbered 41,426, as against 21,759 for the preced ing week, and 43,172 during the same week last year. The average weight of the hogs was 290 pounds. Sheep re ceipts were fair, numbering 6,658, a gain, of 3,700 over the receipts during the same week last year. The Union Pacific railroad has filed objections with the State Board of Irri gation to the proposed action of the Ne braska Central Irrigation company in turning its waters in the Great Eastern canal into Shell creek for the purpose of using the bed of that creek as its ditch. A similar objection was filed not long since by farmers residing in the vicinity of Shell creek, and all objectors will be heard by the board upon the subject December 15. Omaha Bee. As many farmers may be thinking of raising chicory some time as a profitable field crop, we give the following from the Fremont Tribune, which contains a fact not generally known: "The chicory fac tory is now working up chicory beets that have been frozen as hard as a bone. They are more difficult to work than the unfrozen product, but there is no notice able difference in the quality of the out put In this respect the chicory busi ness has a decided advantage over the sugar-beet business." The following paragraph from the Lincoln Call shows how the educational folks at the Capitol city enjoy them selves occasionally: "The High school astronomy class, chaperoned by Super intendent Saylor, Principal Stone, L. C Walker and Judge A. W. Field and wife, visited the state university last evening and heard an out-door lecture on the wonders of the constellations by Prof. Swezey of the weather department A very enjoyable and profitable evening was experienced by all those present'' The Howells Journal says that corn that was picked and thrown in a pile on the ground without any cover on, is liable to be rather wet A fanner told us one day this week that a pile of corn he helped shell had ice on it all the way to the bottom of the heap and in the center the corn was piled up six feet high. It all exposed corn is that way some is liable to spoil unless it is shelled out If shelled the ice is hard to sepa rate. The safest way is to put a good cover over cribs and not pile any on the ground. r When one sees the large number of quail displayed for sale in the .meat markets and other places in Norfolk, he cannot help wondering if this useful bird is to be wiped out and made practically a thing of the past, like the prairie chicken, by the market hunters. The quail is the greatest friend the farmer has in the whole bird family. Examine the craw of one and you will always find it filled with weed seeds, while it is very rare that you find a kernel of grain in the contents. The farmer who protects the quail doss himself a favor.-Norfoik journal. Teachers Meetiag. The county association of teachers held one of the best meetings in the history of the association, at Platte Cen ter last Saturday. About sixty teachers, besides many visiting citizens, crowded the large school room to its full capacity. The program as published in last week's Journal was carried out with many i good discussions on several of the papers. Prof. J. N. Pyle, president of Wayne college, gave an excellent address on ''Thinkers,'' in the evening. He insisted that all people should be independent in thought and action; should thoroughly study their subject and be original in ideas. He said the many late inventions have given people more liberty in this direction, as in former times great men were often persecuted for advancing new ideas. Resolutions of respect were adopted and ordered sent to the parents of Miss Mary Griffen, deceased. An extra meeting of the association will be held in Lindsay, January 9th. The next regular meeting will be held in Columbus, the first Saturday in Feb ruary. Teachers from Columbus and vicinity, who attended the meeting, were: Co. Supt Rothlightner, City Supt Williams and Messrs. Weaver, Leavy, Dodds, Ho gan, Wagner; Misses Dodds, Luth, Wat kins, Keating, Emma and Sophia Bean, Scofield. Turner. We are in receipt of the Thirteenth annual live stock report of the Union Stock Yards company of Omaha, for the year ending Dec 1, 1896, by J. C. Sharp, secretary. There are a thousand inter esting facts contained in the little pamphlet The total receipts for 1896 were: of cattle 570,515; hogs 1,197,638; sheep 33332; horses and mules 9,653. Total receipts of stock for thirteen years: cattle 6,181,529; hogs 14,592,120; sheep 2,006,194; horses and mules 86,211. The valuation for the year 1896: cattle $18, 826,925; hogs $10,469,342; sheep $916, 663; horses $78,026. Of these latter, car riage teams are quoted highest, $100 to $275; draft horses next, $65 to $100; the general purpose horse, $20 to $60. The monthly average weight of hogs received during the year ending Dec. 1, 1896, was least in March and April, 261 pounds; greatest in November, 289. All Nebras kans are proud of the development of its great stock interests. The fact that Omaha is in the geographical center of the world's great corn belt makes it a great distributing point for feeders and stock cattle raised on the grazing land of the great west The present capacity of the yards is estimated at cattle, 14,000 head; hogs 25,000; sheep 12,000; horses 1,000. Fully eighty acres are now cov ered with pens, buildings, etc. Uraad Masieal aid Literary EsttrtaiaraeBt by Home Talest, Given under the auspices of the Colum bus Fire Department, at opera house, Thursday eve., Dec. 10, 1896.

Two men were discussing the now quite common disease, appendicitis, yes terday, having beard that an operation had just been performed in this city. One said that it was a modern fad, while the other insisted that the use of the knife in removing the appendix had saved dozens of lives in Lincoln alone during the past year. "Formerly," the man said, "people would get a pain in the stomach and take medicine for a stomachache. It would get worse, and finally there would be a death from colic or cramps or some stomach disease. Now the appendix is cut out as neatly as you please and there is no more trouble. Five successful operations of this kind have been performed in the sanitarium here alone within a month. That shows how common the disease is getting to be, or rather how much better it is understood than it was formerly. It is absurd to say that it is more com mon. It has just been found out, that is all. Deaths from operations, I am told, rarely occur unless the work is undertaken too late. Lincoln Journal. Rev. J. J. Schuler, who preaches at Rogers, Colfax county, on Sundays, alternating with his appointment here, has a wearisome trip of it since the ohange of the Union Pacific time card. It necessitates his leaving hereon the passenger on Friday, staying all night in Columbus to catch the local passenger which stops at Rogers. The trip home is equally tedious. He must take a local freight east to North Bend on Monday morning and there wait for a train for Columbus. After another wait in that place he can board the freight for home. Rev. Schuler's patience muBt be like unto Job's to stand this even once in two weeks. We'd walk. Bellwood Gazette. CoL J. B. Meagher went to Lincoln Wednesday morning last, called thither by the death on Tuesday of his niece, Miss Nora McConniff, daughter of the late John McConniff. She was sick but a few days. The Lincoln Journal says: "She was attacked with a pain on Thurs day and the case was diagnosed as appen dicitis. Treatment was given for that trouble, but she grew worse. The use of the knife was postponed until Sunday, and then it was found that the operation came too late. The sac had broken, and death was caused by urameic poisoning. Miss McConniff was seventeen years of age. She was a bright and interesting girl and had a wide circle of friends.' Redact Holiday Kates.

The first two days were misty with the wind from south ending in the evening of the 25th with thunder, very vivid lightning and copious fall of rain, wind veering to the north and a rapid fall in temperature; as a consequence the trees were coated with an inch of ice and as a necessary result many of them are almost hopelessly destroyed, but con trary to expectation fruit seems to have passed through the ordeal almost with out damage, though the subsequent zero weather prevents the removal of the coating of ice without doing greater damage than by waiting for a let-up in the weather.

Beacon Light: At Long Fine, this state, the populists and free silver forces combined and elected Miss Mae David son as county attorney. She is the first woman in this state to be elected to that office but we will wager that she will perform the duties of that office in such a manner as will be a credit to the county ss well as to herself. Norfolk Journal: Although very little is being said in regard to the chicory in dustry, the farmers around Norfolk who have tried raising a crop of that article this year have found it a profitable one. The Journal does not know how much of a market there is for chicory, but it is certain that there is room for a number of factories in Nebraska and that every one of them will be a good thing for the communities in which they are located. Schuyler Herald: There were five cases of diphtheria reported at Clarkson, this county last Friday and most of them will doubtless prove fatal. Clark son and people living near that town have been afflicted with this dread dis ease for several years and of late have taken every precaution to prevent the spreading of the dispose, but to no avail. Parents have lost their entire families with this disease and several grown peo ple have likewise lost tbeir'lives. Cedar Rapids Outlook: In the thun der storm last Wednesday afternoon about five o'clock, the main part of N. W. Goodrich's residence was struck by light ning near the chimney, making a hole about three feet wide in the roof, and tearing out two rafters from the ceiling; the current then proceeding out at the side of the house. Mrs. Goodrich, at the time of the event, was sitting in the house and Mr. Goodrich was out in the yard, but fortunately neither were hurt. Albion News: P. A. Barrows returned to St Edward from Columbus on Friday last where he was called to be present when a surgical operation was performed last .Wednesday morning upon Mrs. Bar rows, by Dr. Gear of that place, assisted by Drs. Martyn and Evans, at St. Mary's hospital. He reports that she is getting along as well as could be expected, and under the most excellent care given by the Sisters of St Mary's will doubtless be able to return home in about four weeks.

Johnson took up a collection amounting to something over $16 for them, for which they are very thankful ....Last Saturday fire destroyed the barn, some hay and grain and a few im plements belonging to M. J. Rank, who lives a few miles northeast of town. It was a very heavy loss for him. Fremont Tribune: Dr. Goodmanson, a Pender tooth carpenter, has just been arrested charged with murder in the first degree. After his wife died under suspicious circumstances her body was exhumed and the stomach assayed liberal traces of strychnine. Her brother, from Illinois, immediately came to Pender and had Goodmanson arrested. Goodmanson had not been long married. Ho was engaged to another at the time, but as the dead woman he did marry had $12,000 in her own right it is thought that was an inducement for him. Albion Argus: Last Tuesday morning the Elkhorn passenger struck the fore man of a gang of men who were repair ing a bridge this side of Bradish. Ow ing to the slippery condition of the ties the man was unable to get off of the bridge and when the engine struck him he slid up on the pilot, and other than making a slight scalp wound on the side of his head he was uninjured. He was carried to the end of the bridge and rolled off to one side and it is the great est wonder he was not ground to pieces under the wheels. The train was stopped and the injured man taken to Newman Grove where he was placed under the care of a physician. NOTICE.

EVERYTHING KEPT that is expected to be found in a first class, up-to-date grocery store. BECHER, JliLH & CO., Farm Loans. Real Estate And Insurance.. COLUMBUS, I It requires no twisting of figures to demonstrate that Nebraska is second to no state in the union as a corn growing state. What is particularly favorable to her future as a grower of this great sta ple is the fact of the diversification of her soils for the production of all field crops including grains, grasses, clovers, roots, etc. In the years to come when we have learned more of the lessons on intensive cnltivation of our farms the live stock industry as part and parcel of our fann ing interests will have taken a mighty stride. Live stock farming and grain farming go hand in hand, and happy is thnt land that being adapted to both these ends finds itself also excellently adapted to tha culture of grass, root and fodder crops. This continual rotation of crops, together with the fact of their be ing fed out on the farms where produced, tends to the formation of a reciprocity of conditions that bodes an everlasting good for the country where snch a thing can be actually put into practice. The fact that Nebraska's well cultivated fields have this year produced from fifty to eighty bushels per acre would signify but littlo if there were not present in our environment the element that will lead to a perpetuity of this condition. This element is ever present if we but wisely use it. Nebraska Farmer. NOTICE. In the District Court of Platte Cocnty. Nebraska. Bank or Moxboe, Plaintiff. TS. Robxbt A. VicKERS, Defendant. ROBERT A.
