The project of making Lincoln a city of
Uio first class , that it may secure rights
under the charters of such cities for pub
lic Improvement , is agitating thu publlo
to some extent , and the census to produce
first class figures is now bolim taken. At
n meeting of the enumerators , held at
Councilman Hilllngsly's olllco yesterday ,
the same reported progress and that they
luiil already enrolled about twcnty-ono
thousand names The enumerators fur
ther reported that the territory remain
ing to bo canvassed would undoubtedly
Bwell Lincoln's population to 27,000 ,
which means 2,000 to spare over
the required number for first class
cities. Public opinion seems to be mixed
and pretty evenly divided upon the wls- _
dom of the change , and at the last meet
ing of the city council a voluminous peti
tion against the plan , headed by the
name of Raymond Bros. , wholesale gro
cers , was presented and referred. Oilier
extensive business firms have expressed
like sentiments with those contained in
tho.petition. The argument that politi
cians view the plan with favor , with the
pleasing prospect in view of several
pleasant positions to issue to friends as
"rewards of merit , " is also hoard. And ,
ngain , on the other hand , the wretched
condition of Lincoln thoroughfares
is a standing argument for any
thing to raise people out of
the mud. The advocates of the
change to a city of the first class will ox-
Jiibit much wisdom , however , if they
abandon the argument , that if the change
is made tin ; expensive oflices will bo loft
vacant. The idea of an pflico with at
tendant emoluments being left vacant
in these days of civil service reform , or
Doing left out alone over night , is not in
accordance with practice or the past
history of the controlling powers of Lin
coln.

At ! J p. m. yesterday the Nebraska
State Undertakers' convention met in the
rooms of the Wisconsin Furniture and

licit , the secretary of the association ,
had ample arrangements made for the
comfort and convenience of the dele

lot of men as though their business was
not in the melancholly walks of life , it
Jias been two or three years since the
undertakers of Nebraska have held a
Bession , and tho.obiect of the present ono
is largely reorganization and the adop
tion of measures to make their associa
tion permanent. At the open

fifteen or twenty undertakers from
different parts of the state wore present1
nnd more were expected on the evening
trains. The reception committee that
assembles at the depot upon the arrival
of trains are decorated with heaVy rod

Lincoln people will remember Frank :
Stadter , the artist who made the dining

INDUSTUIAL COU.EOK OF THE UMIVHU-
SITT OK NKlinASKA , LINCOLN , JllllO 1 ,
1880. At the request of the state board of
agriculture I have undertaken to prepare
a report on the grasses nnd forage plants
of Nebraska for publication in the annual
volume. In order that it may be as com
plete as possible , I nsk the aid of everyone
ono who Is interested in the agriculture
development of our stato. At this time 1
wish particularly to direct attention to
the following ;
1. 1 desire samples of every grass which
grows naturally , ( wild ) or cultivated in
any locality. They should bo sent in
flower or seed , and each sample should
contain not less than half a dozen full
plants , root and all. Tie a string around
each sample , and attach a tag with thu
number of the sample and your address
written upon it. Number your samples
from ono upward. Wrap the samples in
a newspaper and send tiiem to mo by
mail. Send ono sample or any number
in each package , as suits your conven
ience. If only the sample number and
your address are written in the packages
the postage is one cent for each ounce.
2. As you .send samples send also a pos
tal card , giving your observation , upon
each grass , statinc whether it lists any
value , whether it is eaten by stock , upon
what soil and situations it growswhether
it is abundant , etc.
3. State also what grass furnishes the
greater part of pasture in your neighbor
hood ; what furnishes the best pasture in
your neighborhood ; what the greater
part of the hay ; what the best hay.
4. Similar sumplos and information are
desired for the clovers and other forage

Small FrultH in Nobrnflka.
Butler County Press : The past few
seasons have demonstrated the certainty
of this state being 0110 of great diversity.
Its products are various and can be ex
tend utl far beyond our present efforts.
It is possible to grow everything in Ne
braska that can bo made to thrive in any
slate in the same latitude. Our people
must learn to live more within them
selves. They must begin to raise every
possible thing needed for their own need
and comfort. To depend entirely on
shipping all they raise out , and shipping
all the. luxuries' , and many of tiic neces
sities in , will make them doubly depend
ent uioii the monopolies of all descrip
tions. Every farm ought to have ono or
two acres 'devoted to grapes , currants ,
dewberries , raspberries , strawberries ,
etc. All these are doing remarkably
well the past three years. The growth is
remarkable , and the yield great.
Tlio currant bushes about town are
lovely to behold , and well cultivated
strawberry beds are a good sight to see
at present. The lesson they teach is one
of future wealth to those who arc faith
ful and intelligent in their management.
Tlio methods of canning , drying , etc. ,
has made it possible for our farmers to
vary their products , and add much to tlio
cheapness and comfort of their own liv
ing. It ought to bo the policy of each
farmer to put out something in the fruit
line each year. It is bound to bo a great
help in the future. Suppose every far
mer's cellar was not only supplied with
vegetable.8 , but was well stored with ap
ples , canned fruits , etc. , to last through
the year , with meat and Hour stored in
the larder ? The law can't tike a man's
living. How independent our people
would bo ? A few spices , sugar , salt and
"duds , " and a king could not bo better
fixed.
Portable Fence.
N. B. W. in Country Gentleman : Who
will bo the first to build that light , cheap ,
portable fence which farmers have been
looking for so many vcars ? Many pat
ents have boon taken out to protect the
inventors of this kind of fenco. As far
ns I know , these patents were all unnec
essary , for no farmer would ever build
ono of these patent fcncos , unless some
smooth-tongued agent talked him out of
his senses. Ono idea runs through the
heads of all. these inventors , however
much they may dilfer in regard to details
there must bo no post or stake driven
into the ground. They throw out of the
account labor , lumber and distance. I
have scon a cut of a patent , fence that
would weigh 500 pounds to the rod and
take n man half a day to build it , and
then it was built zigzag in order to make
it stand without posts in the ground.
They gain on one point but lose in three.
Last spring 1 had forty rods of fence to
build on routed lane. To build a per
manent fence WIIB unnecessary , as I
would want to remove It at the expira
tion of my lease. To pattern after any
fence I had over scon or heard of was
equally absurd. At first I fell into the
old error of building with braces. This
I found would require too much labor ,
and it could not bo loaded on a sled or
wagon without taking apart. I hit upon
a plan that suited mo. I built two rods
nnd was disgusted with it. Finally I
bought boards 11 ! feet long nnd 0 inches
wldo , nnd 2 by 4 scantlings 12 feet long.
The scantlings were sawed in thu middle ,
sharpened ami driven into the ground
nearly sixteen feet apart. Four boards
were nailed to cleats with stool nails , and
these were clinched. Three cleats ar <
Mifiicient for ono panel. Those at the
end should be long enough to rest on tlio
ground when the lower board is about
bix inches above. Then I fastened the
panels to tha scantlings with a single
bolt. If the stakes uro driven so that
that panels lap four inches , the bolt will
go through both. In winter these bolts
may bo taken out and thu fence carried
on a sled wherever it may bo wanted.
This fence requires less labor than any
other kind I over built. If in a windy
place , stakes may bo driven in the mid
dle and fastened together with wire.
While not perfect , such a fence is very
convenient to move a great distance once
in two or three years. To move a few
rods every day , I use a , small pen with
two'wheels.
Dairy and Creamery nutter ,
Creamery butter is that which is made
at the creameries , whore all thn improved
methods are usud for separating tlio milk
and cream , as well us churning , salting
nnd working the butter. Unlike the
method in use on dairy farms , whore the
cream is skimuiod from the milk , thu in
vention of the separator enables the man.
ufucturer to separate the milk and cream
by centrifugal force in a fuw minutes ,
toriuerly dairy butter commanded the
highest price in market , but of recent
years the creamery product has been in
greater demand. This is partially duo to
tlio fact that at the creamery largo quan
tities tan bo mudo at the same time , thus
Insuring uniformity In quality , while each
dairy has its own method , and the prod
uct varies according to. the skill and.care
of the manufacturer.
At ouo time the dairymen complained
that the creameries Were doing great
I damage to their interests , just us is now
alleged against oleomargarine ; but they
soon found It profitable to carry their
mlk ! to the croaijiecies instead of churn
ing it ; not that.butter-making . had be
come unprofitable , but that Clio cream-
cries turned out * superior article , and
did much of the < work by machinery.
Hut good butter-dop * not depend entirely
upon the use -machinery. . The im
provement in quality was etlectcd by the
enforcement of stringent rules In the
matter of feeding1 and caring for the
stock. The farruo s were made to prop
erly cool their milk when drawn from
the cows , nnd the stalls were kept clean
and free from filth. The enforcement of
these rules did much to prevent bad
butter , and thd fawners were Induced to
do what they might have done them
selves to their own advantage. Thn
creamery system is simply nn organised
method of dairying , in which discipline
Is used to secure uniformity nnd high
quality.
It is well known that but few persons
use the currv-coinb or brush on the cow ,
and she often becomes filthy nnd dirty in
her stall. The strnincr cannot prevent
the soluble filth from passing with the
milk Into the can. while the management
of the milk after it leaves the milkman
varies according to the conveniences on
the farm. But the creamery inspectors
demand not only that the cow and her
stall shall DC clean but that her food shall
bo of the best quality. The milk must bo
properly niannired and bo delivered nt
the creamery every morning. The
farmer , therefore , who wishes to produce
butter of a superior quality can only
compote with the creamery by endeavor
ing to make a superior article. There is
no "gilt-edged" breed of cattle , although
many suppose the best butter comes
from certain animals. The "gill-cdgo"
is in the management of the cow , liur
feed nnd stall , and the handling of the
milk and butter until it reaches the pur
chaser.
Hints nnd Hiigucatlnnn.
Thu pig-pen is always the best place to
dispose of imperfect and small fruit and
potatoes.
A remedy for the maggot \vhich infests
cabbage , is to make a hole witn a dibble
close to the stalk , insert ten drops of bi
sulphide of carbon , and quickly close the
hole again.
Clean out all the rose bushes by takjng
away the olll wood and then shortening
the stronger shoots one-third. The
growth and appearance will be greatly
improved thereby.
To have a beautiful bed of ( lowers try
Chinese pinks. They are of all colors ,
and when a bed of such pinks is made by
sowing seeds of all the varieties the con
trast of colors is very striking.
"Try the experiment this year of scat
tering hay or straw over the strawberry
bed and burning it over as soon as the
bearing season is over , "says the Fruit
Recorder , "as old beds can bo made as
good as now in this way. "
An experienced horticulturist thus de
scribes his mode of planting fruit trees :
He makes holes eighteen inches deep and
three feet in diameter , fills in four inches
of strong , short , horse manure , then two
or three inches of street dirt , sets the
trees and fills in witjh earth.
Professor Cook bays the following mix
ture'will not only vanish the apple tree
bark louso. but keep off the borers us
well. It istohent'to the boiling point
one quart of soft soap in two gallons of
water , and while still hot thoroughly stir
into the mixture ono pint of crude car
bolic acid. Ho .thinks the best way to ap
ply ills to rub it on thoroughly with a
heavy cloth , using the hands also during
the operation.
The London Gazette gives a good
recipe for making cream cheese , namely :
Take u quart of .cream , or if not desired
very rich , add ihcrcro one pint of now
millc.warm it in hot water till about 03 ° ;
add a toaspoonffll of rennet ; let it stand
till thick , then break it slightly with a
spoou and place it in a frame in which
you have previously put a line cloth ;
press it slightly with a weight , let it
stand a few hours , then put a finer cloth
in tlio frame ; a little powdered salt may
be put over the cloth. It will bo fit for
use in a day or two.
At this season the milk is often flavored
with onion and wild garlic. The only
remedies is to clean out the pastures ,
either by pulling them up or allowing
the garlic to grow until ready to seed ,
then cutting it down. To do this the
cows must be kept out of thu pastures for
awhile. It requires work to eradicate
the pasture of weeds , but it must bo done
if odors in the milk and butter are to bo
avoided.
There is no reason why the green pea
season on the farm should bo confined to
or three weeks at furthest. Like that of
sweet corn , it can bo prolonged by suc
cessive planting. The only drawback to
late-grown jious is their liability to mil-
dow. But this can be guarded against in
part by seeding thinly in rows and givinp
a good brushing so as to keep them well
up , so that tlio air will circulate freely
through the vines. For such late plant
ings thu marrowfats are better than the
small early varieties.

Some ono says that milking should bo
done quickly , quietly and gently. Wo
believe this all true , but in order that it
may bo accomplished to the very loiter ,
it will be found necessary to commence
handling the heifer early. Wo have ob
served that thu roost gentle cows on the
farm are the ones that were made so
when tlioy were calves. Every heifer
calf intended to bo retained on the farm
should bo treated us kindly us possible ,
from the day she first comes into the
world until she becomes a milch cow.

"You mav be surprised to know , " ho natd ,
"that two-lltths of tlio slaves of niorphlno
and uplitin ro nliyslcians. Many of these I
met. We studied our cases careluliy. Wo
found out what the organs were In which the
apputltn was developed nnd sustained ; that

compelled to resoit to opium again to deaden
the horrible pain In those organs. 1 marvel
how 1 over escaped. "
"Do you mean to say , Mr. Wilson , that
you have conquered the habit1'
"Indeed 1 have. "
"Do yon object to telilns inn how ? "
"No , sir. atudyliiK the matter with sev
eral opium-eating physicians , wo became
Mitlstled that the appetite lor opium was lo
cated In the kidneys and liver. Our next ob
ject was to ttnd a spfcilic for restoring those
organs to health. The physicians , much
nirnlnsti their code , addressed their at
tention to n certain lemedy , aud became
tlioroiiL'Iily convinced on Its sclcntilic merits
alone that It was tlio only one thnt could ho
relied upon In every case 01 disordered kid
neys and liver , t thereupon bccnn wilnc It
and. supplementing it with my own special
treatment , liually got fully over the habit. 1
may say that the most important part of tlio
treatment is to get those organs lirst into
iood ; working condition , lor in them the an-
petite originates and Is sustained , mid in
them over ninety pur cent of ail other human
tlilineiilM originate. "
"For tlio last seven years this position lias
been taken by the proprietors of that remedy
and dually it Is becoming an acknowledged
scientific truth among the medical proles-
slon ; many of them , however , do not openly
acknowledge It , and yol , knowing they have
no other sdentllie spocilie , their code not
allowing them to use It , they buy it upon the
quiet and prescribe it in their own bottles. "
"As I said before , the opium and moiphlno
habits can never be cured until the appetite
for them Is routed out of the kidneys and
liver. 1 have tried everything , experi
mented witli everything and as the result of
my studies and investigation , I can say I
7-Moic nothing can accomplish this result but
AVarnor's safe cure. "
"Have others tried your treatment1
"Yes , sir. many , and all who have followed
It fully have recovered. Several of them
who did not lirst treat their kidneys and
liver for six or eight weeks , as i advised
them , completely failed. This form of tieat-
ineut is always insisted upon for all patients.
whether treated by mail or at the Loveland
Opium Institute , and suplemented by our
special private treatment , It < il inij/s cures , "
Mr. Wilson stands very hicli wherever
known. Ills experience Is only another
proof of the wonderful and conceded power
of Warner's safe cure over all diseases of
the kidneys , liver and blood , and the diseases
caused by the derangement of those organs.
Wo may say it is very flattering to tlio pro
prietors of Warner's safe euro that it has re
ceived tlio highest medicinal endorsement
and , alter persistent ; , ln < ly , it is admitted by
scientists that there Is nothing In materia mod-
ica for the restoration of those great organs
that equals It in power. Wo take please in
publishing such statement coming from so
reliable a source as * Mr. Wilaon and confirm
ing by personal experience what wo have
time and again published in our columns.
Ws also extend to the proprietors our hearty
congratulations on the results wiought.
A LUCRATIVE PROFESSION.
Flcurcs that Show It U .Easy for a
Doctor to Make Money.
"My gracious alive I" exclaimed a well-
k nown pnysiciaii to a reporter for the
Philadelphia North American : "what
will become of my profession ? It seems
to mo that nearly every family nowadays
has a physician in it. judging by the
signs on the windows and doors. "
The professor seemed in a ialkntivo
mood , and the opportunity was embraced
to put a number of questions about the
medical workers.
"You're not afraid of the profession
being overcrowded , are you ? " was asked.
"till , no , in one sense , " was the jocund
reply , "for the moro of us there arc , tlio
faster we invent now diseases to be cured ,
yon see. "
Then , after a pause , he said : "Tho doc
tors multiply faster than the people. I
bclicvo there are , U least 1,1500 practition
ers in the city and 150 retired , and every
year the. colleges send out hundreds more ,
many of whom settle down hero to make
their fortunes. They lind great encour
agement , too , in what they see in the
great center of fashion and riches on
Chestnut , Walnut , Spruce , and those
streets. Of all the luxury surrounding
the lives ot the resident * the iihysicinns
enjoy the highest , Look ut their man
sions , their cipiipiigos , and sco how they
lignro in high society lirst everywhere. "
D"Ila.s the road to this honor and station
boon a hard one to travel ? "
"Not generally , You son the first thing
n graduate docs is to got nn appointment
somewhere in u hospital or prison , or
better than all , the alnisliou.so. if ho has
a littlu social inlliiciico this is oasilv ac
complished. Here lie can extend Ills
acquaintance nnd got plenty of expe
rience , but , of course , little p.ty. If ho
has a rich father and can sport a dushiug
team and busily ride around towu on
imaginary calls , provided ho bo attentive
enough to his business to make these calls
with Htriet regularity , no's what yon call
'fatarted.'and will bo domg well iu two
VG'll'H * *
"Wlioro would you generally find his
earliest calls * "
"Well , lie's lucky to first get hold of
some old rich person , who has nothing
much the matter with him except age ,
but must always bo taking medicine to
'keep in good health. ' This kind don't
care much what they pay and less what
they take , and anything they would take
would have the same beneficial cflcct
provided always it bo carefully prepared
with harmless intentions. Then his ro-
lativcs , and. through their intluenco.their
friends send for him to attend sick serv
ants. "
"Hut keeping up appearances will not
get him practice with rich folks , will it ? "
"No. but it deceives the poorer classes.
The calls upon them may bo lifty cents at
first , and as it grows ho will ratao his fees ,
and thus , while improving his income ,
ho is improving the class of his patients.
lie nmv got his calls up to $5 eucli , and
his oilico consultations at ? 0 with tLo
richer natrons. "
"Well , all these rich doctors can't make
their living otVtheir rich neighbors , can
they ? "
"No , indeed. The humbler classes are
the richer liulds. Ono of our wealthiest
physicians , whoso income Is $10,000 a
year , usually asks if the cash is on hand
before ho will answer a call in a c ( inline.
munt case. If it isn't , he doesn't go. "
"Now , 1 have teen preparing a few
statistics , " continued the professor , "if
you would like to look at them. The to
tal income of the city's physicians is no
less than $5,000,000. There wore 22.05C
births in the , city last year. These lux
uries cost .the recipients at least half a
million. Hero , is wheie the class sioy |
ItsolJ. t count 5,000 of these advents
at $100 each , nnd f5,000 In extra ,
nnd that is handsome presents to the
doctors nnd from '
nurses ovorjoyod'fath-
crs. Count 5,0X1 more of these present
ments at $50 each , half the remainder nt
$25 , and the other half at $10 , nnd
$1.000.000 is quickly summed up. Then
take the 20,357 deaths. There's another
million. Tlio cost of leaving is about
the snmo as coming here , yon seo.
Well , besides , thcro are 200,0000 families
who pay at Ic.nst ? 3COO,000 tribute an
nually to the doctors. "
"How would you classify the physi
cians' income , professor ? "
"There are at least fifty whoso practleo
yields $00,000 a year. I can name them.
1 can give you olio hundred morn at
$10,000 a year , nnd then there is 1,000-
000 left to divide among thu remainder
of the profession. It isn't bad business
Is It ? "

A Chltil of the Hemline Went.
Truly America develops some Ptrango
characters , says a writer in The New
York World. 1'hcro came to New York
some time ago n woman with a history
that reads like n romance. She is the
daughter of Gen. Malcolm Ulnrk. of the
regular army , who was killed by nn
. dian whom be had befriended aomo
years ago nnd who lofl a family of eight
children , the result of his nmrringo with
an Indian squaw. Miss Helen Clarke ,
ho eldest of those children , was educated
nt a convent hi Cincinnati , and is pos
sessed of a very brilliant mind and un-
isual hlstronlc talent , and came here to
iroparo herself for the stage , which she
iroposcs adopting as a profession. Her
presence wherever she appeared in the
city never failed to attract attention , as
icr looks proclaim the Indian beyond n
lonbt. Tall , straight , sinewy , with wiry
) lack hair and the iinmistaknulo Indian
features , she presented n remarkable an-
icnrance , especially when elegantly
ittlrud. She is well known In the west ,
where her father's bravery won tor him
self and children a name , nnd jn
Montana , where she was born and still
"ives. she holds the position of com-
nisstoncr of public schools , her duties In
this capacity necessitating her traveling
imeh alon'n over that wild mountain
country , often on horseback , with.a re
volver in her belt. On ono of thcso
pleasant little jaunls.while going through
\ lonely spot known as Prickly-Hoar
lan.yon ono misty November morning ,
Miss Clarke discovered the bodies of five
ror.d agents hanging from limbs of trees
wlicns they had been made to answer to
the vigilantes for their crimes the night
previous , a sight that would have rather
shaken thc'uerves of a New York society
woman , but this child of the howling
west , was too well accustomed to life on
the border to be frightened at anything
of that sort nnd rode calmly on. Her
father and ono of her brothers were shot
down before her , and from her infancy
she has been used to danger. She is
( lighly connected on her father's side nnd
nhorits a fortune from him , while her
mother still remains with her tribe , the
IJlaek Feet Indians. While hero Miss
Clarke wart for some time the guest of
( Jen. and Mrs. Palmer , the latter being
her cousin. She thought New Y"ork lite
tame and New York women rather un
interesting. They lacked the nerve that
constitutes one of the chief charms of a
western belle , of whom Miss Clarke is n
fair sample.
