NEBRASKA FOR SHEEP.

so adapted by nature to sheep raising ,

feature of the country fators it. The
lnd is sufficiently rolling with open
winters and a clear , dry atmos
phere , while upon nearly every
< oction of land there gushes forth
from the ground clear beautiful
airings of water. Is it not strange
t'lat we should every year import wool
from foreign countries with such a
country as this i * , which invites east-
jrn capital to invest in o handsomely
oayine a department of agriculture ,
t would add also that here wo have

J. M. S.
Our correspondent touches on a
sibject of great importance to the
f irmers of this state. No one of the
srcstern states possesses such admir-
aole resources for irool growing ss
Nebraska. Other western states have
more extensive ranges , and as dry an
a'incsphere , but none have cultivated
Miids and available sheep ranges in
such close proximity as our own. This
h an important element in cheep raia-
tng , because sheep fcr mutton and
hoop for wool must bo taken into ac
count. The valleys cf the Elkhorrt ,
Loup and Republican rivers are un-
sirpaEsed as ranges for sheep. All
PDSSCSS a climate in winch the various
diseases so common to sheep in the
east are unknown. Admirable graz
ing , open winters and araplo water sup
ply offer a constant premium for the
Investment of capital in thh branch of
agriculture. Why , as our correspon
dent aeks , should we import our sup
ply of wool from abroad , when such
magnificent opportunities for home
growth nnd manufacture lie near at
hind ! If Xebraskans would only
awaken to the rich bonanza which our
1 B ate offers to sheep raisers , a few
-1 years would place this state at the
head of wool growers in the union.
With a plentiful cupply of wool would
follow the .erection and matiiten
ance cf woolen factories on our ntreami
aid rivers , and a good homo market
for our farmers. One thing is certain ,
if our own people do not take up tint
sabject others will reap the profit of
superior business Jnsight Alreidy
large droves of sheep are coming into
the valleys of the North Platte coun
try nnd another year will doubtlcie
witness a still farther increase of sheep
on the fertile and well-watered ranges
of Nebraska.

to corporate greed and monopoly es-
tortion. Cheap transportation is the
one crying need of the Great
West. The river at our feet
only needs a little encouragement
to give the people of Nebraska perm

Nebraska take her part in this great

wo have shown some disposition of our
own to deal with this great and im

Apprenticeship Or a Substitute.
St. Pan ! Honcer Press.
Under iho presiure of a constantly
increasing demand for skilled and in
telligent labor , the Ames manufactur
ing company , at Chicopee , . Mass. , is
trying to bring about a return to the
old apprenticethip system. Several
of the leading edge tool companies of
the east also contemplate adopting a
similar course , on account of the dif
ficulty of obtaining thoroughly com
petent mechanics. In other vocations ,
also , there is a demand for that skill
which in the iron-worker's art
transforms five dollars' worth
of raw iron into pen-knife
blades worth $3,000 , Into ahirt but
tons worth $29,000 , or into watch
priags worth $200,000. In Germany ,
outside of the free education furnished
by the state , there are some 250 scien-
ti6c and professional schools , which afford -
ford , o every pupil the opportunity of
obtaining technical instruction and
acquiring practical skill in some
branch of useful industry. And this
fact while it is In striking contrast
with the neglect of technical educa
tion in this country ia probably a
sufficient explanation of the active ef
forts now made to secure the services
of pattern makers , designers and artis
tic workmen from the cities of Ger
many.
It is doubtful if anything like the
eld-fashioned system of aoprentico-
ship can ever bo revived. Time was
when , for the most part , the skilled
artisan who was master of his trade (
worked at home or in n shop connec
ted with his own house , assisted by a
few younger workmen as journeymen.
Iict his homo and family he would re
ceive one or two lads to learn ,
ctd'
during ' a four years' engagement , tne
art and mysteries of his craft ; the
master himself teaching thorn his
ivorkj feeding and clothing them , anil
IcP ooking carefully after their moral and
P ersonal habits. But the extension
o f : trades and the the nse of
machinery has destroyed the
rrti rrb cet and most important fea-
tiit Ures of apprenticeship ! The master
s no longer a craftsman , but an em-
ito iloyer. Complicated machinery crowds
o > ut the boy learner , and requires the
s' killed workman'whose eyes and fin
s's gers have already been trained in some
s'g limilar occupation ; the master no lon
g ger works at the trade , but directs and
fir. inds the capital. The apprentice has
r. > ecome merely the boy worker , at re
duced rates and picking up the trade
as best he can. He is pitchforked into
t he business ; no ono is responsible for
Y its training , and if ha doesn't like the
i ob , he leaves In search of a better
one and his place is srpplied by
another boy from the street.
But , while in many occupations ap
prenticeship can never be restored to
ts former value as a guarantee of good
and efficient workmanship , some approach
preach toward supplying Its place
might be made if those rudiments of
industrial training common to all the
skilled avocations were taught in our
public schools. Among the incidental
banefits of society , epringing from a
nholssome provision of this kind in
corporated into the common school
course' , it would greatly tend to cor
rect the sickly and pernicious sentiment
mont which now infests the youth _ o ;
our public schools touching the digni y
of manual labor occupations. Youth
ful hoodlumiam , which has become
the standing reproach of American
cities , is largely made up of unplaced ,
idle and incapable young fellows ,
who were full of good intentions
when they left the public school ? , but
who bad Imbibed a dread of hard
work. They were resolved to trust
to luck and take their chances out
side the swarming.dinner-pail brigade
but finding no soft place ready to fall
into , they quickly soured and degen
erated in theatmospheroof the street.
It generally takes a year or two of
vicious vagabondage to get this non
sense out of their head ) , and dispose
them to buckle into the serious work
of earning a living. It appsars that
nhety-two per cent , of our criminals
are directly traceable to the unskilled
and half-educated laboring classes ;
and this fact goes far to prova that it
is cheaper to teach the child the ele
ments of corno honest calling in an
industrial school than it is to teach
a man a trade in the penitentiary.
The better educa ed our artisans
are the better workmen they will
make if the education is of the
right sort ; is in the line of their fu
ture career , not away from it. The
Natural Science Monthly insists that
the education which wd offer to the
children of our artieaus , who will
form the artisans of the next genera
tion , is of a character purely literary ;
in no sense technical , or even scien
tific. It is an education which , so far
as it goes beyond the three clemeiits
of reading , writing and arithmetic , is
formed in nil its essential features up
on an exclusively coltegiato type of
atudiei ; tjrammar , history , geography ,
foreign languages and the like being
introduced to the exclusion of draw
ing , practical mechanics , the knowl
edge of woods , metala and textile fab
rics , manual dexterity in the uao of
tools of all , in fact , that most nearly
concerns the workman throughout his
entire career. If we kosp our future
artisans till they arrive at tha pge of
fifteen or sixteen' employed sitting at
a desk , pen in band , to follow the lit
erary course of studies of our educa-
tionalcode , we need not be surprised
that they have lost the taste for man
ual worl. . ! > n' r- ' r t- > starve on a
threadbc.ro i t a ct , .i , iljrks or book
keepers rather thau seek more re
munerative labor. 1'ur miny trades
the training of the hand to work
may begin , and In some ought to begin -
gin , at an earlier ago than that at
which children leave the primary
school. The taste for manual labor ,
for mechanical construction and deco
ration , at an early age is almost uni
versal. It requires years of misdirec
ted education to uproot it entirely.
And there is not wanting evidence to
prove most distinctly that oven a very
small amount of manual labor trainIng -
Ing thirty or forty minutes each day
interjected into the elementary
school , serves to k ep alive the capac
ity for active employment , and the
manipulative skill of the fingers.
The problem ofmojting the demand
For skillful and accomplished workmen
Is thus beset with a double difficulty :
Thut while the old system of appren
ticeship has well nigh crumbled , and
is less and less able to afford a train
ing worthy of the name to the child
of the artisan , tbo character of the
education now given him in the public
schools not only does not make up for
that which '
apprenticeship'cannot now
give him , but positively predisposes
him against the career of manual toil
to whtch'either apprenticeship or in
dustrial training is the necessary and
only adequate introduction.
Iowa Cereal Wealth.
Bradstreet's revised returns of the
wheat crop of 1880 show the follow
ing figures :
Bushels ,
Hunon 52,500,000
Iowa 4iGOO,000
Indiana 43,000,000
Minnesota , 42,020,000
Ohio 3"O.COO

Kansas 19.75D.OOO
Nebraska 9,130,000
Wisconsin 18,45'J.OOO
Total in the western states. .324,675,000
Iowa ranks second in the list ol
wheat states. Forty-five million bush
els of wheat ! It is , wo think , a low
estimate , to say that the crop will av
erage , at home , 75 cents a bushel at
present market prices. Burlington
prices range from 80 to 85 cents for
spring and 90 to 95 cents for winter.
Tha Chicago price for No. 2 is § 111.
The freight rate from Burlington to
Chicago is 7 2 5 cents per bushel ;
from Council Bluffs to Chicago , 18
cents'per bushel. From these figures
our readers can make their own esti
mates , and we think they will concur
with us that ati average of seventy-
five cents in the crib before shipment
is a fair estimate of the present value
of the wheat crop of Iowa at tnis
time.
time.The
The yield this year , 45,600,000
bushels at seventy-five cents net to
the farmers $34,200,000. But these
figures do not cover all the value to
our state of the wheat crop. That
portion of the crop that is manufac
tured into Sour and other products is
greatly increased in value , and so
much of the manufactured products as
is shipped out of the state brings a
richer return than the cereal itself ,
but that portion which is retained for
licme consumption has a still greater
value. The flour of Iowa man
ufacture laves the Importation of
a like amount of that impor-
food staple. Tha bran , shorts ,
etc. , utilized for the dairy , is con
verted into still more valuable pro
ducts milk , butter and cheese. And
thus , whether we consider the wheat
crop of Iowa in its relations to the
state export trade , or ita home econo
mies , wo find it to be a source of Im
mense wealth to our people. For a
state that is already in the front rank
in the production of'corn and _ Hog ,

far enough north to raise good wheat
