The supreme court of Nebraska is ono
t tlio hard working bodies in Ibis elalo
nnd its record for Industry f9 commend
able ami oxceplional in comparison with
many courts of high anrt low degree In
this and otlior states. 'J ho supreme court
convened its session for Ihe .January term
in this year of grace , 1837 , with pracllc-
ally a clean docket , having disposed of
ail cases submitted to them , with a very
few exceptions wherein some ono of Iho
judges wctc of counsel in foinicr limes
or tor some sum ar cause. This Is a rec
ord of industry and nu example worthy
of emulation. This kind of Mnct and
constant altcnlion lo business is nol only
known lo Ihoso who by dirccl conlact
wilh llio court know Iho facls of Iheir
own knowledge , but llio people of Iho
Blato at largo have become cognizant of
the fact that the supreme court Is Indus
trlous. As an evidciiceof the work done
by the court there aiu upwards of 400
cases brought lo this court per annum
besides motions and oparlo proceedings.
it devolves upon each of the
judges the duty of writing about thrco
opinions a week besides llio hearing and
examination of all oales in consultation.
Tins , It is stated by those who are ac
quainted with the tacts , is a iriealor
amount of work , pur c.ipila than per
formed by any other snitronm court in
the union. In fact il is the only supreme
court that kcepj up with its' business ,
almost all ol them being from ono to
four years In arrears. llow long this
work can bo kept tip to as clean a record
as thU in llio glowing state of Nebraska
is a question wortli some attention the
coming winter , and the proposed increase
in district jrnlgcships carries with it a
suggestion that the time is at the door
when a supreme court standing at the
head of the list in amount of work done
will find it impossible to properly ret low
tlio work ot twelve to lateen district
judges scattered over tlio slate.
The supreme court met yesterday pur-
miant to adjournment , hut held but a
short session in tlio morning hours. The
following gentlemen were admitted to

Education of Farmers.
Philadelphia Record : Wliilo it is not
to be inferred that farmers arc unedu
cated , or in any sense infciior to other
classes in intelligence , yet there is room
for greater educational expansion , which
should not bo overlooked. It has been
but a decade since "book-farming" was
derided as a pastime , lesulting in gieal
expense and no profit ; but at the present
day "book-farming" is considered indis
pensable in conducting practical opera
tions on a farm. Tlio "book-farmer , " as
the phrase is understood , may not have
been an adept in the nso of implements ,
may have lacked skill at the plow and in
feeding and knowledge of the proper
mode of expenditure ; but while ho was
lacking in "practical experience' " lie was
always aiming for tlio be.st of everything ,
and , by experiment1 } , educated his
neighbors. Though ho knew nothing
about milking a cow , yet bo could , at n
glance , sepaiato the different breeds of
stock and mate thorn for the best results ;
and Uis knowledge of fertilizers , varieties
of plants and peculiauties of boils was
often far in advance ol his more practi
cal neighbor. ? . While his ollbrts were
often failures , they always tended to a
bettor system of cultivation and the
intiodui'tion of superior stock in the sec
tion in which ho operated.
If the skilled anil practical artisan con
siders it his duty to mnkoti study ofnrchi-
lure , mechanical drawings and specifica
tions , with tlio advantage of books giv
ing the experience and designs of otheis ,
there is no reason for the fanner to 10-
fuse kindred privileges for himself. A
knowlodtro of the progress made in his
culling can bo gained only by study and
practical experiment upon the theories
advanced. There are hundreds of far
mers who are experts in the management
ot n dairy , yet who give little or no at
tention lo the classification of stock ; anil
some ot the most successful of horticul
turists have no idea of how the varieties
of fruit cultivated by them were pro
duced ,
Though farmers like all otlu-r classes ,
may be benefited by knowledge , they
aio not as slow as is generally supposed.
F.very season there are a great number
of conventions hold to consider agricul
tural subjects and nt the recant Fut Stock
show thorp were twenty-one meetings ol
breeders of different classes of stock , rep-
presenting every section of tlio country.
15 ill the ma ses are best educated not
only by the study of agricultural lltern-
line but by meetings in each locality. It
is at such meetings that the practical and
theoretical can be compared and tlio ex
periments anil opinions of every member
given , A great advantage of local meetings -
ings is tlio facility of inspection of the
farms of such sections and a direct com-
paiison of the growing crops , ns well as
the live stock possessed by each , which
alfords nn opportunity also to the ; younger
members , infusing in ihem n spirit ql
progress which is sure to result in bcnolil
in tile future , and to render agriculture
more and more profitable ,
mill AlHorl ) [ > nls In Slnliles.
It is a general supposition that aluiosi
anything will answer us bedding in tlie
ittublcs and cow stalls , but the matcria !
for thai purpose may bo cheap or expen
sive , according to tlie manner in wind
it is used. The straw on tlio farm is
usually perfctrod for bedding , as it does
not nlwnj's pay lo haul it to market. Yet
although straw is a substance Hint is
credited with but little value , everi
pound produced on the fnrm deprives
the soil of some kind of foitill/.ing ele
ment , and if il is to bo rclurnod to the
boll the work should be so accomplished
as to secure its curly decomposition as
well as llio greatest bcnctlt fiom its nso
It should bo cut into short lengths , not
only for easy distribution over the lloors
but also to suvo as much of it as possible.
In applying labor to the use of any
material used as bidding the value ol
the labor be.itowcd must be considers
not only in relation to the reduction oi
the uiutciial but also its ultimate elfect
on the soil. Hy cutting up straw for
bedding it becomes a bettor absorbent 01
liquids , quickly dec.iya , and is handlet
with gro.iter ease when hauled to the
field from the manure heap , while the
distribution of tlie manure is greatly fa
cilitated. The cutting of straw , thougl
apparently costly , is really it saving 01
labor when the Straw is returned to the
Held , whfle thu advantages of its tiuo con-
dition fts nn absorbent can scarcely bo
overestimated , ns there is nnnunlly a
jjrcut waste of liquids on nonilv nil farms.
But bedding nlono is not the- only mat
ter to bo considered. The first requisite
s some material tli.it will not permit of
lo. s and mny also bo used ns n deodor
izer. This is dry dirt or marl , which can
be used on the floor under HIP straw , the
whole being added together to the man-
ire heap when saturated with the liquids.
The cutting of cornstalks into short
lengths , and the hnulingof Icavcsnnd dry
dirt for winter use , are out applying such
labor ns mentioned above. When waste
materials , such as leaves , can bo col
lected and added to the stored bcddjng
of the barn , theiois not only a saving
but an addition of fertilizing matter to
tlio foil.
The proper condition for a manure
heap is In the shape of what is known as
compost. The finer it can bo rendered
the greater tlie ease of spreading it over
the surface of the soil and the sooner It
is converted into plant food. The dry
dirt assists in arresting tlio escape of
volatile matter from tlio heap , while the
voided material is dlsintogated and made
more readily soluble. The care of the
bedding is , therefore , a very important
matter , ns every pound of manure saved
is &o much gain , while the stalls
are rendered/ / purer , nnd the
comfort of the animals increased.
Economy In AVlnlcr Fccrtlnc.
Animals require more food in winter
than in summer , for tlio reason that the
radiation of heal from the body is greater
in winter , nnd tlio larger the animal the
faster llio loss of heal. Hy the nso of the
term radiated is implied the giving oft of
the heat from the skin , but every nttnco
of cold water drunk and every breath of
ntr inhaled assist in the loss. The pro
portion of food required , therefore , do-
pcmls not only upon the size of tlie ani
mal but also upon the conditions sur
rounding it. The purno cs for which llio
animal is Intended inllueiico the result ,
us well as its ago and the quality of food
upon which it is fed. The liorso that per
forms labor requires food suitable to a
rcpah of Uio waste of muscle and tissue ;
llio fattening stocr needs food of a car
bonaccous character , while the dairy
co v , yielding n full llow of milk , has the
triple duty lo perform of providing milk
and butter , supporliug her embryo cull
nnd furnishing heat and sustenance to
her own body.
Economy docs uol consist in giving a
bnro allowance , nor is it economical to
feed hay and grain in excess of that re
quired. The use of ensilage and roots ,
though Romet mes nbsolulely necessary
lo the thrift of tlie block , should be ac
companied by food of a more conccn <
traled nature , in order to provide those
elements that are lacking in the more
bulky lood , and lo balance llio ration seas
as to completes it for tlio purposes re
quired. Tlio use of linseed meal when
corn is fed is not always for the increase
of carcass or milk , but to counteract the
londcney to constipation. Yet there arc
occasions when such oily food is an abso
lute necessity , while Ihe nitro < reiious
character of the linseed enables it to take
llio place of some oilier material not so
easily attained.
Good clover hay will supply the nitro
genous matter necesary , but in se\ ere
\\eather an animal might perish because
tlietcarbonaceous elements weio lacking ,
while the exclusive use of carbonaceous
food , though lending to llio production
of fat , is lucking in nitiogen and the
phosphates , and is therefore incomplete
and deficient. In feeding his animal
the farmer should therefore consider the
age , sixe , condition of health , shelter ,
purposes intended , stage of growth and
lompcraturo of llio almosphoro , nnd
should so regulate and balance Ihe food
as to supply them with all they require.
I5ut the cheapest and be.st labor-saving
and food-regulator is a good warm
shelter. Every ounce of heat saved to
the animals by the piotoclion against
winds and storms saves that proportion
of food that Mould otherwise be lost in
furnishing the heat taken away by _ ox
nosuro. Shelter is therefore food , in a
certain sense , and s.ives labor , because it
is always , within the power of animals to
appropriate for themselves. No cracks ,
crevices or leaks in the roof should exist.
Dampness and cold are companions in
their influences. TJio wise farmer will
not only save food by providing warmth
and piotcotion against external influ
ences , but in .severe weather will so pro
portion the food as to furnish lhat which
is hout-producingihcroby not only econo
mizing but preventing loss.
Honnonatilo Hluta nnil Suggestions.
Farm profits vested in permanent im
provements return larger dividends Ibyn
when deposited in banks or invested in
otlior directions. A farm cannot bo too
highly improved.
There is annually a lurgo amount of
bogus butter made in the churn , owing
to the lack of skill , care and proper tem
perature in churning.
Whether prices be up or down , prime
mutton sheep arc always salable , and nt
good prices. The markets are never ovci
supplied witli choice mutton.
'Ihero is n vast difference in the quality
of the first milking and tlio stripping- * .
The former contains twice as much al
bumen , but tlio latter five times as much
fat as the former. There is also more
caseine sugar and ash in the strippings.
The consumption of food by dai
stock is paid buck in n threefold way-
milk , growtli of slock and the value ol
the manure , which last often balances
the first cot of the food. It is in that re
spect that stock-raising is superior to ex
clusive grain growing.
Gilt-edge butler cannot bo produced
unless the udder and tents of tlio cow und
the hunds of the milker are washed before
fore milking the cow. The milk must tjo
removed from the stable as quickly a
possible , as it will absorb odor.s as &oon
us it become cool.
Weight alone is not the only mode ol
regulating the price. Quality is becoming
ing tlio prime factor in profit , nnd
farmers will noon learn that it is im ro
profitable to grow onlv first-class produce
than to raise largo amounts of thai wlncl
is inferior and slow of sale ,
Do not attempt poultry raisjng on n
large scale until yon have experimented
with a small HOCK and gained experinnco.
Theio is much to learn , and but few have
succeeded with over 100 liens. Cure and
patience inusl bo exorcised , and Ute entire -
tire time given largo Hocks.
It would not bo out of place if farmers
would put their namns over Iheir gales ,
in order lo us ist lliose seeking particular
residences. The plan is as applicable in
llio country ns in the citv. Even the
farms along a ro.id could be numbered
from ono town to another.
While it does not pny.as a rule , to bo nl
the expense of cooking food for stook.say.s
the National StoeKnian.it does pay lo cook
food for young pigs. 1'otntocs can bo
used with advantage , and a good warm
mess will do more to make the pigs grow
than anything else.
The bcsi churning lenipcraturos are bo
twenn 57 and CO degrees in tlie Bummer
season and between (10 ( and 01 in winter.
All who churn should nso a thermometer ,
as no guess work will answer. A ther
mometer is an iiutispenslblo article in the
dairy at all times.
Always thoroughly wash the udders ,
wipe with a towel nnd milk with dry
hands. It is very important to do so il
"gilt-edge" butter is desired. Thn milker
cannot be too careful. It is claimed Dial
thu milk receives more odor and im
purities before it leaves the stfble than
irom any olher source.
At this season when tlio corn is being
fed to Ihe hogs , it should bo remembered
thai Iho warmer nnd more comfortable
the bogs are kept the loss corn required.
Before hogs can fallen the bodies must
bo supplied wilh sulUoicnt heat to pro
leol ngninslcold , and the greater the
amount of heat saved the larger the gain
in fat.

about thlrly miles 16 the north of the
ancient city of San Luis Obispo , which
is nine miles from Iho ocean ; and is coti-
noclcrt with il by a narrow gauge rail
road at Port Hartford. Many people
coming from San Francisco to Paso Ho-
bios' hot springs travel by steamer from
Port Hartford , thence by stage. Sluco
1878 Iho Iravcl from llio end of llio rail
road at Solidord up Iho Salinas lo San
Luis Obispo and inlcrmodiato points has
been tloiin by singe. It is a dreary stage
tide of 109 miles through an uninhabited
country. The journey consumed allot ono
night and half a day , and footpads very
frcqucnlly made it interesting for trav
elers.
Paso Hobles' hot sulphur springs arc
world-wldcly known. The hoi baths arc
highly rcconmicndo'l for many com
plaints , and Iho hot mud baths are still
more highly prized for Ihoir curalivo
qualllles. The local hotel , with a num
ber of collages near by , and llio clear
waler hot unth houses , were built
nearlv eighteen years ago by
the Blackburn lros. ! , and ha\e since
been conducted as n , health resoit by
lliom and Mr , James. The holel accom
modations aio co.ua ! lo150 gtiesls. A
park of live und white oak Irecs around
llio buildings makes Ihe situation very
romantic , and tlie craggy peaks , looming
up in the distance , back of the embryo
town , add greatly to this facinating re-
treut.
In-1837 James Blackburn bought five
leagues of land in one body , lying along
the Salinas river a distance of about nine
miles. Ho paid thirty-livo cents tin aero.
Later on he bought another Icuguu lying
west of his original purcha c. Ho Ihen
was owner of ' 5,000 , acres of as line farm-
me and grazing land as can be found in
C-ilifornia. For all these years the owners
of tins vast tracl have grazed Ihoir catlle
and sheep thereon. Many overtures
have b on made to the Blackburns for a
subdivision of the land Into small farms ,
but not until the railroad was a certainty
this far up the Salinas would Ihcy consent
to any such proposition. Last winter
they entered into a contract for a subdivision
vision and llioy land is ooing rapidly dis
posed of. Such was Uio condition of tlio
entire Salinas valley. The farmers wore
only renters of large grant ranch lands.
This is in the neighborhood of the vast
region that within the last two years has
been peopled on government land. The
rush foi land two jears ago in noith-
western Nebraska will bo icmombered.
There tlio laud was sandy and climate
dry. Here it consists of gravel and de
composed lava , and Iho 0111111110 is dry
Both vtoro gra'/i'iig ' lands. Hero winter
is fairly unknown , and as 1 write , Uc
comber 28 , 1880 , a. warm rain is prevail'
ing and farmers are smiling in eonse-
quenco of the rain. It is late this yeai
and many people arc fearful of a dry
winter. Amoim those farmers who aio
old residents heieabouts , 1 lintl friui o
all kinds , including oianges grown in
abundance. On It. 11. Kirkpatrick's '
farm , live miles east of San Miguel
1. saw a patch of table corn grow
ing in May. I laughingly asked him il
he was going lo wait for the corn to ma
ture. ' 'You bet wo arc , " he answeied.
No rain fell there during the life of the
corn after i was on the ground. Mr. K.
assured me in Soplembur the corn ma
tured iu line condition. Such is tht
character of this soil thai if a pl.mt gels a
hold it will continue to JJTOW during the
long dry season of more than eight
months.
The Southern Pacific railroad
has established its winter term
inus at : i point six miles south of i'aso
Koblus , and tlio place is called Temple-
ton. The working force was all taken to
Newhall near Los Angeles. From thence
the road is now being pushed along the
coast from S.ui ISuenavenlura to Santa
Barbara , thence north to San Luis
Obispo and on to Tcmnlclon. It will
probably bo two years boioro the junc
tion is made. Alter that it is intended
lo make this route by the overland liuin
from Nov. ' Orleans and Iho east lo San
Francisco. It will bo 150 miles
shorter than the San Joaquiu valley
route.
I can narrate , no fabulous stories ol
great orange or lemon orchards and aged
vineyards bearing a wealth of crops , hut
enough wheat , rye and barley and grapes
apples , piuncs and Jigs , and vegetables
have been grown lo move a suitable pro

lowed lo be a prophet of the near future ,
it is within Ihe province of my judgment
to say that within live years I'aso Hobles
will UP the center of as line fruit-growing
fields as make other sections so famous.
The mountains just weitut Paso Koblcs
are literally soaked with water. Springs
gush forth at Ihe top and the fool of tlio
ridges , and consequently the lablo lands
and valleys arc abundantly moist for all
Ihe year round cultivation. So plentiful
is the supply of water that a city ol
150,000 people could bo supplied with
elegant spring water. P.iso Koblcs is
now supplied wilh mountain water , a
tunnel having been cut into the foot of a
mountain , liom which a reservoir is kept
filled.
Irrigation , excepting for garden pur
poses , is not contemplated in these nails.
Although cast of the Salinas wells a ro
dug to a depth of ! ! 0 ( ) feet , there scow
moisture enough there for miccofeslul
farming. From this winter's growth of
grain and fruit I hope ro be able to re
count hereafter ninny * good things ol
