BarnuBi, are putting in one hundred and thirty acres of wheat. They sow the Russian, which they regard as alto gether the beat variety for both quality and quanity. The spring style of hats for ladies, is turned np all around and ornamented with a bit of ribbon or bucklet of plate. Jet will be used in the trimming of the bonnet, and feathers are to have a pro minent place. It has been suggested that it would be well for those who have any influence with the weather clerk to prevail with him to secure a few warm rains sad a little less wind. We have never yet, however, seen the day nor the hour but somebody growled at the weather. W. D. Wilson, a new settler on Shell Greek, desiring to form an acquaintance with the Journal, proposed to read fifty two scmbers on trial He' informs us that he has some experience in the man agement of sheep, and will begin at his home by keeping and raising sheep. We have no doubt but that the business will prove profitable in Nebraska. The first case of boots ever shipped from Columbus to Omaha went last week. They were manufactured by M. T. Kinney for one of the Omaha dealers and we predict that there will be call for more of the same sort. The boots are a number one article, and are famish ed at a price sufficiently low for retail dealars to make a good profit. We are glad to know that Mr. Kinney's business is increasing at a rapid rate. Columbus might, just as well as not, furnish boots and shoes for all Nebraska cities, at least. Living is comparatively cheap here, rents are low, and hands plenty. Now is the time for farmers to con sider how to obtain their fuel for next year. After some little experience, we believe it is the cheapest and beet plan for every farmer who has not grawing timber of his own, to plant an extra amount of corn for his own use, and some to sell to his neighbors for fuel, and thus spare, for a few weeks, the young timber now growing, which in a short time will produce an abundance for fuel and other purposes. We must remember that corn can be produced every year in Nebraska, and that it takes several years to grow a tree. It is a matter of wisdom as well as economy to use the corn and spare theyouag trees. ' Drs. Paul and Matzen, Dentists. The Journal ads pay good returns. Ossein solicits your meat trade.
