Huffman k RolltnB are preparing to
sow 900 acres to alfalfa this spring, mak
ing a total of 1100 acres. They consider
it the most profitable crop by far that
can be raised in Antelope county. It
yields well and cattle fed alfalfa put on
flesh more rapidly with one-half the
amount of corn than those fed prairie
hay. Farmers generally are nrged to
experiment more extensively with this
grass. It is a money maker wherever it
can be established, being valuable as
feed for hogs as well as cattle. Neligh

Robert Ridgway,Amboy, Ind., claims
to have discovered, and tested fonr years
before offering to sell, a method of im
munizing pigs before birth, through the
mother's blood; after birth, through the
mother's milk; curing sick hogs by
flushing and cleansing the bowels and
entire system, and that his methods
have been tested on over 20,000 bogs the
past year. He says he has sold to over
2,000 of the best farmers and breeders in
the United States! This little para
graph' is no advertisement for Mr. Ridg
way, but only a news item, which may
be of interest to hundreds of Journal
readers, who believe in investigation.
and the prompt adoption of what proves
right
C. H. Walker of state reputation is
very enthusiastic (or was the last time
we met him) concerning the effectiveness
of the vaccine method of treatment as a
preventive of hog cholera. The Surprise
Citizen says that recently he took a
couple of his pigs that were made cholera
proof before birth to Omaha to be tested,
to show that they are cholera proof.
The experiment is to be conducted
under the supervision of the agricultural
editor of the Omaha World-Herald. We
always knew that Charley was a thinker,
and in a practical way, but if he has dug
up "out of his inner consciousness," a
preventive of hog cholera, it will be
worth billions of dollars to the farmers
of the country..
The Journal believes it will be
found profitable to every large town and
city in Nebraska to have a night school,
in coojnnction with the ordinary public
schools, and that wherever instituted on
correct principles, there will be no
thought of doing without them. Of
course, experience is the great solid
teacher of communities, and something
can always be learned from what has
been done by others. At Omaha, for
instance, they have had a night school
in operation portions of three years, with
a slight increase in attendance. The
average ageof pupils the last five months
was 17 years. One hundred and nine
pupils were more than 21 years old.
The oldest pupil enrolled is 68, the
youngest 8 years old. The beginning
classes are made up chiefly of older per
sons who have never had any school
advantages, and who have shown a very
strong desire to learn, which is the real
foundation of the great advancements
they have made. The Bee, from which
we condense, says that much good has
been accomplished; children employed
during the day are given a good start,
and backward adults are enlightened.
The funeral services as conducted
Tuesday afternoon of last week at the
Baptist church by Rev. Pierce of Genoa,
the two caskets side by side containing
the mortal remains of Mr. and Mrs.
Josiah McFarland, who were instantly
killed the previous Saturday, were very
impressive throughout. Quotations from
the Scripture were read, and a very in
teresting sermon delivered from the
text, Proverbs 7:19 For the goodman is
not at home, he is gone a long journey.
Many touching appeals were made to the
sons and daughters of the aged couple,
who, united in life, had not been separ
ated in death, but had gone to Paradise
together. The Grand Army comrades of
Mr. McFarland who were present, were
commended for their loyalty during the
Civil war. These caskets do not contain
the soul, the true home is in Paradise.
Mr. Pierce spoke very feelingly, having
been intimately acquainted with Mr. and
Mrs. McFarland. The services at the
grave were conducted by Baker Post G.
A. R. Bugler Miner of the S. of V.
sounding "taps" and Rev. Pierce closing
with the benediction. Side by side in
the walled-up grave lie the mortal
remains of two as gentle souls as we
have ever known to sojourn here in their
tenement of clay.
A Bellwood ordinance provides that
any person who neglects to repair a
sidewalk, "defective to such an extent as
to be dangerous for the passing over of
men, women or children, and to remain
so for a period of twenty-four hours,
after being notified of the same by the
chairman, marshal or street commis
sioner, shall be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than five dollars
nor more than one hundred dollars and
costs of prosecution for each and every
offence, and each day's neglect or failure
to repair said defective sidewalk after
being notified so to do, shall constitute
a separate offence." It is with this, as
with all other laws. It is not the sever
ity of the enactment so much as the cer
tainty of its enforcement that secures
desired results. There is not a particle
of doubt too, but if there was greater
publicity of the laws, there would be
much better results. It is a favorite
principle o! the statesmen, expressed in
various forms, that all wrongs are com
mitted in physical, mental or moral
darkness. In matters of public concern
the only safety is in publicity. Preven
tion is very much better than cure.
Fifty dollars spent in publicity may
effect the saving of five thousand. Ex

Death of Guy C. Banram.
The death of this pioneer occurred at
the residence south of the Loup Monday
morning, March 25, 2 o'clock. The
funeral is to be at 10 o'clock today (Wed
nesday), from the residence, the Masons
having charge.
He was born at Monkton, Vermont,
April 5, 1825, coming of good Revolu
tionary stock. At 17 years of age he
came west with his parents; to Nauvoo,
HI., in 1844 where they lived on a farm
three years; to "Winter Quarters," Neb.,
for a while, then removed to Iowa, where
he remained till 1860, when he came to
Neebraska again taking a pre-emption of
160 acres south of the Loup which has
really been his home ever since. Here
his father died in 1861, and his mother
in 1877.
Mr. Barnum was married to Miss Mi-
randa J. Fuller December 24, 1845, at
Nauvoo, I1L She died March 17, 1895.
Six children were born to them, four of
whom are living: Guy G. Barnum, jr.,
Shoshone, Idaho; George E. Barnum;
Mrs. W. B. Doddridge, Paola, Kansas;
Mrs. G. W. Barnhart, Ft. Worth, Texas.
Mrs. John Lisco died about three years
ago, and another daughter Kara eigh
teen years ago.
Mr. Barnum was a member of the
Territorial legislature in 1866; of the
Senate in 1869, being the only democratic
member of that body. He was county
commissioner for this county six years,
beginning in 1870. During the active
years of his life, while the wife of his
youth, the mother of his children, was
with him, he prospered and flourished in
business and in affairs generally, his
land holdings reaching to eleven hun
dred acres, and his ranch becoming a
model one for farming and stock-raising.
Mr. Barnum was always sympathetic,
helping all in need who called upon him
for help; outspoken and plain; very de
cided in his views; an ardent advocate
for what be regarded as for the public
good.
Let us hope that after the storms of
this life, he lives free from turmoil and
trouble, in the Summer Land.
