Grass means cnttlo ; entile moans ma-

lands moans good crops , nnd good crops

the world. Seed part of your farm down

Sheep fthould hnvo high , dry lot * to
run in when turned out of yards nnd
sheds during winter nnd spring. They
c.m stand much cold weather but 1110-
cumb very quickly when subjected to
water nnd mud. Those who expect to
make sheep profitable should by all
moans keep them dry under foot , or ns
nenrly so na possible.
Mr. D. 0. B.iiloy , of Valley county ,
relates hia experience with Aborting coirs
na follows : "A few years since wo ( my
sons nnd self ) fed barley-meal to our bull
nnd cows. In the fall and winter the
cowa began to lose their calves. I re
lated the mntter to nn acquaintance , told
what wo fed , etc. lie said to mo , 'I
heard n Gorman say , "You feed your
cow parley , she lose calf. " ' Wo chunked
the food , nnd since thnt time hnvo fed
our breeding cows nnd bull no barley ,
nor allowed them to hnvo access to n burley -
ley straw stnck or to n barley stubble
field , We have lost no calves unless n
cow received an injury. If n ow shows
nnd signs tending to abortion we feed
hemp seed. "
It ha boon shown thnt n pall of milk ,
standing for ten minutes in n strong
smelling stable , or where nny other
nflcnsivo odor cnn reach it , trill receive
taint which never will leave it.
Galloway breeders claim that they can
improve nny iniiod breed of cattle , nnd
they call short horns mixed. The abort
horn brooders say the improvement is
caused by the shorn horn cow , nnd so the
battle wiigea. Every man has his fancy ,
but there being more short horns , they
mo cheaper. Ranchmen take their choice
according to their notion nnd the eizo of
their pocket books.
J. M. Perkins , who purchased the
Hibbard farm in West 131 no precinct ,
Gngo county , last year has the following
to show for hia first year's farming in
Nebraska. From 150 acres ho husked 40
bushels per ncro of good sound corn ;
his wheat on 18 acres nvoragcd 184
bushels and would have reached 20 only
ho was compelled to harvest \rithahoador
and lost considerable ; CO acres of oats
turned out 2JOO , ( bushels , and ho had 77 $
bushels of buckwheat on throe acres.
The results from ono acre of potatoes wns
200 bushels.
Tlio Fnrmor'H Wlvec.
Tccumsoh Chleftan.
Probably every farmer on the list which
wo nro publishing would say that ho owes
liin success in Ir'a work of building up his
fortunes , in n largo measure , to his wifo.
Any one of them will toll how courage
ously and faithfully his wife has stood by
his aide , never flinching from any part of
the work that belonged to her , never
whining at hardship * , or backing down
in nn emergency. Many a man will toll
you that ho should have given up when
the hard times cnmoand the craps failed ,
nnd the grasshoppers wore a burden , and
tlm hot winds came out of the south to
wither and scorch like fjro , if it had not
boon for his wifo. This is a why wives
have , nnd every true man will bo proud
to acknowledge it. Thia way of theirs is
not because women feel 'less or nro less
sensitive than men. They are a good doil
moro soiuitivo than men aa a general fact.
But they have resources thnt men know
nothing about.Vhilo n man will go
about trusting in his muscle , in his bodi
ly strength and ability to fight out the
struggle of lifo with his arms and his
brains , women go trusting in something
altogether different. They hardly know
themselves sometimes what it is thnjr
trust in , but they do it intuitively. When
ft man is brought up against any turn of
affairs whore his brains and bunds do not
orvo him and cannot holji because the
thing is beyond help , or is under the
avray of a Power that is mightier than
men , ho is glad to fall back upon hia
wifo'a trust in something outside , to bo
cheered up and encouraged to go to work
ngnin _ by the faith that Bomohow things
will be bettor next month , or next year.
And all this time , iu spite of her courage
nnd cheerfulness , the wife is practicing
all sorts of little economics , making one
dollar answer for two or throe by an in
cessant patching and saving nnd contriv
ing. With tired limbs and heavy hcitrl
but cheerful face a woman works on fron
year to year , and ho ia not n fuir-minclec
man who will not see this , and as his for
tunes mend make hiswifo equal partner ii
t.ho unto and comfort which fortune brings
Women draw their fortitude am
cheerfulness largely from an instino
tivo belief in God nnd in hi
Providence , and men often heedlessly
do them grovious wrong by encoring A
nuch faith , and by thoughtlessly dopriv
inp them of church privileges when the
might huvo them as well as not i
men would only think of it nnd go wit
thorn , Hen sometimes tootn to bo solfisl
when it ia only negligence or thoughtless
ness. They do not need the church they
think , and do not BOO why women should ,
but women do all the same. Faith in
Qed is the fountain , the sourer , of that
oouingo. fortitude , faithfulness and devo
tion to duty , which oil women ahotV no
matter what their social condition or sit
uation in life. The pioneer women of Ne
braska have not had any harder times , or
auUbrod any moro than the pioneer wo
men of other states , but they have stood
up under it plucky and bravo , and du-
nerved all the good fortune which our list
shows has fallen to them out of the labor
and privation and hardship of the past.
They have worked mainly with the idea
that their children should have a good
start in life , and anybody who roads our
reports will acknowledge that the chidron
have pretty fair prospects ahead if they
fallow in the footstep * of father and
mother.
Fur Corn
Breeder1 ! duetto.
While not discussing the subject of > f
drainage , the bulletin of the Now York
Experimental Station , in reference to the
corn crop , is quite suggestive in this
direction. Iloferriug to the tropical
origin and habits of the corn plant , Dr.
Sturtovant observes that the roots ex.
tend Urgely within the upper laycw of
the soil , the portion warmou to the high-
oat temperature , and if , cither through
season er nlmdo , this upper coil does not
attain a high temperature , the plant
Jnmkos an unsatisfactory growth , 01
I ninety-three observations nude at tin
station in July of tlio temporaluro ol the
neil nt n depth ot three inches , but rtoven
were over 80 degrcns. the highest being
8-lJ nnd the lowest 5 J , nnd M the loinc
pernture for the bent root _ groth of corn
is about 81 degrees , it will be neon that
the csaentinl conditions for the highest
development wcro wnnting.
Hero nro fncts which nro worthy of nil
consideration by farmers. The _ temper
ature of the toil being so c sentinl to the
iiiccossful growth of the corn plant , the
cultivator mint , HO far an possible , bring
it under control , He can do this to some
extent by the nao of manures , which
have u tendency to darken the soil nnd
increase ita capacity to absorb heat , but
in no other way can ho exert so prompt
nnd decided nn itnliiuncu in this import
ant particular on by u judicious a ) stem of
undcr-drninsgo. Soils inclined to bo
wet can bo raised in temperature some
eight or ten degrees by being under-
drained. Whore the wntor can not sink
in the earth , its evaporation from the
surface is rapid nnd consUnt ; and ai the
wntor changes to vapor it robs the spll
of its heat nnd carries it oil" into the nir.
Under-drainngo carrying elf quickly the
surplus water beneath the neil , ovnpor.t-
lion nt the mirfaco very soon produces n
thin layer of comparatively dry earth ,
after which surface evaporation proceeds
very slowly , nnd the soil commences to
accumulate hunt , instead of losing it ;
nnd , ns it commences to warm up much
> nrlior in thoHcuson than whonundrnined ,
it will accumulate mid hold n much larger
proportion of heat. There are BOIIIO s ils
needing drninngo becnuso hnbitunlly too
wet ; and there nro other soils which nf-
tor n time losa .their surplus moisture ,
which nlso need drainage , in order to
render them ealier nnd to lengthen their
seuson. And for no ordinnry farm crop
does under drainage seem BO csaentinl ns
for corn. It has been too generally re
garded na u crop which can bo grown
almost Hiiywhoro nnd with almost nny
aort of treatment ; but this is not so , if a
maximum degree of success is desired ,
and the result of the last few seasons hits
not only demonstrated the importance of
the crop ns it has never been demon
strated before , but shown that there nro
conditions attending ita successful and
certain production which it will pay the
fanner to study and observe. The yield
of corn , where all the conditions are
favorable , is substantially whatever nny
ono wanU fifty , sixty , eighty , perhaps
a hundred bushels per aero.
Tlio Outlook for Fruit.
Cincinnati Farming World.
lleliabla analysis of the fruit crop from
Illinoip , Kentucky , Tennessee , Mississip
pi , Louisiana , Alabama , Texas and Ar
kansas show very clearly that the poach
crop is , to nponk in general terms , u fail
ure. In Illinois it has boon entirely
killed. Cherries have boon badly injured.
Blackberries and black raspberries have
boon killed to the snow lino. Pears have
boon touched to some extent , but rod
raspberries , strawberries , apples end
other fruits nro in good condition. In
Kentucky the peach ornp was very se
verely blighted. In Mississippi the fruit
buda are nil right. In Louisiana the
prospects nre bettor than they have boon
for six years. Tn Alabama the fruit crop
is ruined by the cold winter , nnd garden
ers are raising vegetables. In Texas the
peach and fruit buds are in splendid con
dition , only as in Miasiesidpi fefira are
felt for frosts iu the spring. In Arkansas
reports show thnt only part of the peach
crop ia injured by the cold weather.
Strawberriea promise well and other
fruits , with the exception of grapes , nro
in good condition. J. J. Oolmant , pro
fessor of horticulture at the Agricultural
College of Mississippi , writes that the
fruit crop will bo later this yoarbut plen
tiful. Where the January blizzard did
not do ita work , correspondents are in
clined to speak with apprehension of n
bad spring.
Something of the comparative endur
ance of the berry plantn may bo learned
from the letter of n correspondent nt
Godfrey , Madison county , 111. Ho
writes : "Of raspberries the Grogij ,
Brnndywino nnd Turner nro nil right ,
nlso young plantations of Doplittlo , wnile
Outhburt nnd other plantations of Doo-
little are badly damaged. Of blackber
ries the Snyder is all right ; Taylor good ;
Law ton throo-fourtha killed , nnd Kitta-
tinry all gone. " The correspondent at
Bowling Green , Tex. , writes that no
fruits are injured except cherries , which
cannot bo grown with certainty in that
locality. Bartlett , Twin. , reports trees
nnd fruit frozen. Humboldt , in the
same state , expoota a fair crop of fruit iu
western Tennessee unless frosts should
come in April. Grand Bay , Ala. , nfter
an experience of twelve years , says that
poaches won't thrive BO near the Gulf.
\Voat Point ; Misa. , saya thnt the aouii-
tropical fnnto are all right Doniaon ,
Tex. , reports 1 dog. nbpvo zero the low
est temperature. Austin , Ark. , reports
peaches badly damaged on clay sail in
low lands , but nil right on elevate l tundy
lands where most of the orchard tire
planted , lloporta that all through that
vicinity there are openings for fruii rais
era and canning factories.

"Draw poker ia getting to bo quito n
popular game in Boston ? Well , I should
say so , my boy , " said n prominent sport
ing man , na ho twirled hia moustache
jomplncently. "And n good game itjs ,
too.1 '
"Why , nny man can go in nnd play
faro or roulette with just as much chance
of winning na an old hand nt the busi
ness. But when it comes to poker , why
it Ukoa nerve and no littln skill. It isn't
every man you meet that can sit behind
a 'full house' or n 'llush' and play it for
all it's worth without giving himself
away. " .
"Where is all the playing done ? "
"Why , every where nnd anywhere.
Tlio great night for playing is Saturday
night , and it is getting to be quite the
thing to form little poker club j of from
four to six , nnd sit down to u little quiet
game until 12 o'clock , nnd then quit
Some parties meet nt , tlio rooms of the
members , when they happen to board at
n hotel or haven't n wife ur mother who
objects if they piny nt homo. Then
others meet nt regular puker-rooins kept
for just this purpose. At these rooms
the house generally has n man who sits
in with the p irty nnd banks. Ho takes
his chances uloiig with the rest , nnd if ho
isn't made of the ring slufl' , or if ho has
hard luck , ho may lose quite a little pile
for his employers.
"But hasn't the 'house * na you call it ,
any recompense for the use cf their rooms
except what their representative may
win ? "
"Yes ; I'll ' toll you how. You know
when , thoio ia a misdeal , or when ovary
ody passea without drawing cards , that
nakcs what wo call a 'jackpot. ' Now ,
10 game that is played nt most of thcso
ooms'ia 20 cent ante and $1 limit. Of
ourseif itis a swell place they play a big-
cr game. But whatever the 'nnto' is
vlien there is n 'jack-pet * each man lias
o put thnt amount in the pot , except the
anker , who puts in half' of the sum ; the
ther half he puts through a hole in the
able into what is called the 'kitty' or
j tay. ' All that goes into the 'kitty * is
in perqnsito of the bank , and in the
ourso ot' the evening it amounts to con-
idorablo. "
" \Vhnt class of men play the moat , do
ou nsk ? Well , that's n hard question
0 answer. I guess thnt H < classes , ez-
ept the ministers , piny moro or leaa.
" 'ho ' high-toned fellows play , nt the club ? ,
nd you can bet they piny hii'h. Hun-
reds and sometimes thousands of dollars
: iango hands in a night. But the men
who * play most are the young fellows about
own , moat of whom have moro money
mil brains , and commercial ! men. The
ormer generally playa a wild , , reckless
ame , and consequently lose heavily. As
lioy can afford it , however , nobody pities
iiem. But the drummers 1. Ah ! they
ftcn make us professional men feel
oary. You can't tell by their looks
bother they've struck four of > a-kind or
busted straight. And whenithoy start
1 betting , whether they have a good
ad > or are trying a bluff ) the nann > who
ants to aeo their hand pays for it , I toll
ou. Ita amusing to BOO a froah man
raw n good hand. Ho smiles continvt-
usly , grows rod , and makes a strenuous
( fort to look unconcerned. When it
omos his turn to bet ho generally raises
10 limit right nway , and scares overy-
ody out. The other night n follow got
nud because ho couldn't raise § 100' ' in a
ollar-limit game. These are the follows
iat got fleeced. But they soon , learn ,
nd you know in this world youcan't got
nything without paying for it , nnd ex-
erionce comes particularly high. "
"But isn't this growing londness for
oknr hurting the faro-banks ? " nuoried
tieltoooker ufter truth.
"Well , I ohould so remark ! ' Ami ita a
oed thing , too. These banks ara regu
ar swindles anyway , and ) the man that
jogins to buck them is lost. With ppVor
: s different. Although ! it ia a , fuscinat-

inless you play nn awful steep game ,
'hoy tell mo that some of' those fejlown
who struck it rich out west in mining
day n good game , and play high at
Washington. But of course everybody
can't do that , and you'll find that in the
average game that's played iu the city ita
very seldom that any ono. looses over
§ 30 or § 40 in an. evening. And then
rou'ro sure of a square deal at poker , ai

A llallroaii Moving
The Utah papers record a remarkable
illustration of Mormon energy and per
severance. Being about to osiabliah au
important manufacturing businosa at Iron
City , they wanted n railroad to. corniest
the furnaces and the coal and iron miuea.
So they went to Nevada , and finding the
Piocho & Bullionvillo railroad for sale
cheap , they bought it. Bute a. railroad is
an awkwai-d thing to move. The rails
and sleepers might bo torn , up and hauled
in wagons , but cars aud locomotives can
not bo BO well transported , in that man
ner. Accordingly tlio Mormon hayo de
cided. that tlio railroad must move itaelf.
They will tear up the rails at the further
end of the track and relay them on the
end nearest Iron City. By continuing
this process they expect in time to walk
the road out of Noxada into Utah , whore
they want it.
