TIUJKSTON VETOED.
Governor Tlmycr enters the following
Objection to the establishment of Thurs-
ton county :
Executive Department , Lincoln Nob. , April
8 , 1SS7. 1 herewith file with the secre
tary of state senate tlio No. 04 , entitled , an
act to amend section 3 of an act entitled "an
§ ct dellulns thn boundaries of Hichardson ,
EHomaha , Ulackbird and Dakota counties , "
March 7,1SW , nnd to re-delino the
gpprovccl of "Ulackbird" county , and
change the same to "Thurston" county , with
niv objections to the same.
This bill proposes to take from Hurt ,
Wayne nnd Dakota counties portions of the
territory of those respective counties , and
form them Uuotacr.wlth what has been known
as Ulackbird county , Into a now county , to
be called Thurston county.
My objections are those :
First , this bill Is unconstitutional. Sen
the following. Constitution of the state of
Kebrabka.
AllTICLE X COUNTIES.
Sec. 3 ( llvlslon. ) No county shall be
divided , or have any part stricken therefrom
without llrst submitting the question to a
Tote of the people of the county , nor unless a
niajorlty of all the legal voters of the county
voting on the question vote for same.
Bee. 8. ( Same. ) There shall be no territory
stricken from any organized county unless a
niajorlty of the voters living In such territory
r Bhall petition for such division.
No vote of the people residing on the portions
tions set oil from Uurt , Wayne and Dakota
counties has been taken , and none
In provided for In this bill.
Nothing lias been presented tending to show
that the people have had any opportunity
whatever to give expression to their senti
ments with rotorcnco to being set off and
made part of a new county. They had never
petitioned for It. On the contrary , remon
strances have been presented from large
numbers against being stricken from their
respective counties.
Tills bill , therefore ) , in this rcspnct , Is a pal
pable violation of the above quoted provi
sions of the constitution.
Second , The bill is unconstitutional for
this reason : Seethe following : Constitu
tion of the state of Nebraska.
AKTICI.lt X COUNTIES.
Section 1. ( Area. ) "No new county shall
bo formed or established by the legislature
which will reduce the county or counties , or
either of them , to a less area than 400 squan
miles , nor shall any county bo formed ot n
less aica. "
It will thus bo seen that any countv to be
created must have at least 400 square miles ol
territory. The only portion of the proposer
county of Thurston wnlch Is open to settle
ment Is comprised within the limits of aboul
thirty finuaro miles , being that Dart of the
Omaha Indian reservation which lies westo
the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Otnalu
railroad , and the only poitlon on which tlu
Indian title has boon extinguished. This
comprises all there Is out of which to fern
Thurston county , but in order to bring tlu
new county within the provisions of the con
Btuutlon declaring that every county to bi
formed must have 400 square miles In area
the bill proposes to take tin
whole of tliu Omaha aud Wlnnebage
resetvatlon. .This certainly is not the Inten
nnd mcanlir ' of the constitution. The intern
and meaning is that tnere .shall be 400 squan
miles of territory which Is open to settlement
which can bo bought aud sold , and over whlcl
county government can bo established am
have control. It must boa county for prac
tlcal purposes. Them must bo county com
mlssloncTS or supervisors. There must \i \ <
other county ofl'.ccis. There should bo a
least an area of 400 square miles to contribute
to a revenue for the Mipport of the county
'Tho act ot IbM , defining the boundaries o
Ulackbird county , has icmatued entirely In
operative aud without euVct to this day. 1
has never been iccoguUcd or treated as i
county. The act was useless for tlio rcasoi
that the countv could not bo organized am
opcratrd , bivau- It was an Indian rojdiva
tlon. The territory had no control over I
for tlio collection of revenue and general ad
tnlnlstratlvo purposes.
It has been set forth by the suppoitcrs o
this bill that the laws which added those per
tlons to Hurt , Wayne and Cumlni ; counties
which this bill uioposos now to take away
were unconstitutional. The answer to thn
Is this : TJIOSQ laws have remained In fore
to this timi' , they have never been repealed
and they have never been declared unconstl
tutloimt by the courts , which alone are in
trusted with the power ot passing upon th
constitutionality of lawn. They must there
fore bo regarded and treated ns constiti
iloual. Furthermore , thclr onstituUoiinllt
lias never been questioned until It was prc
posed to organize this new county of Thur ;
ton. To change the relations of the peon !
of these counties now. Is not hi th
direction of publlo policy. To dlvhl
a county , or to strip a county of a portion c
its territory , without the consent of the pec
plo living thereon , aud without tie ! consul :
of a majority of the people of the county , I
n public wrong which should npt be sane
ilotiod by law. besides being In disregard
constitutional provisions.
1 took up this bill with a desire to foe ui
way rlcar to approve It , but the more 1 hav
txnailncd it the more I bay o been contronlc
with Insurmountable dlftlciiHle1 ? nnd the
more I have been convinced that it la In di
rect violation of the constitution. 1 therefore
withhold from It my anprovaU

peal sections one and two of chapter live of
the compiled statutes of Nebraska. "
1 have been asked to withhold my approval
from this bill on the ground of alleged Irreu-
ularltlrs In connection with it , after It had
passed both houses. It came to mo bearing
upon its face strict conformity to the consti
tution and the laws thereunder , being prop
erly certified to by the olllcors of the respect
ive houses. In my judgment , I am not at
liberty to go behind tlioir record.
I am convinced that this bill Inflicts vary
great Injustice upon Adam.s and Saundcra
counties , nnd possibly upon some others ,
but I have not had time to investigate the
matter. If I should veto this bill I would In-
Illct a very gieat wrong upon the people of a
far greater portion of ttio btato.
I therefore do not Hie any objections to
this bill , and it becomes a law without my

TIIK CTY : KI.KCTION.
The democratic victory In the city election
has been a cause of great rejoicing the past
twenty-four hours In the ranks of the Hour-
bens , and they picture great success In the
futuic. They have now a democratic mayor
nd a majority of the council opposition , and
ho machinery will undoubtedly bo put In
pcratlon to make the comity democratic the
loininj ; fall. Ono republican , In the face of
lofoat , was holding up his hands and return-
ng thanks that they had elected the cenin-
ery trustee , which Insured them at least
'ecent burial. The majority ot republicans
lew the Held with omens of 111 luck for the
uturo , and democrats are claiming that with
10 assistance of their friends the bolters ,
tat the county ticket In the tail Is within
each. The prohlbs nearly lost their Identity
ti their clforts to help elect a license .s.iloon
emocrat , and leaders of that party are
romlorinK what struck them. The saloon
ote was c-quallv divided and they expect
10 trouble from the democratic mayor. i'e.s-
erday Mr. Koggcn appeared In court to pay
line for hitting Webster , and \Vebster ap-
icarcd at the same time and withdrew the

Difltanco In 1'lantltia.
Fnrin , Field nud Stockman : Professor
Snnborn , . of the Missouri agricultural
college in experiments nt various ilist-
uucc3 apart , and also with different num-
bers'of grains In the hill , finds that tlio
best nvorngo was obtained by tlnok rather
than thin planting , and this tallies with
the experience of the most practical
planters in the wost. In check sowing
four ( cot olght inches apart each way
unit thrco good plants to each hill being
the rule , flour plants would ciyo a larger
yield , but the cars would be smaller and
the cost of huskiug would bo somewhat
greater. Tlio results would bo some
what greater. The results obtained by
Professor Sanborn , as related by him ,
were ns follows :
Six rows of corn , about sixty rods to the
row , were planted 4x4 feet , four plants to the
hill.

Six rows of corn , about sixty rods to the

Six rows of corn of about sixty rods to the
row wore planted 4x'J feet , two plants to the
hill.
hill.At harvest the hills were carefully counted
nnd stood In numbers according to the fol
lowing table :
First six rows had 3,000 , plants standing.
Second six rows had fi/Jos plants standing.
Third six rows had 4.5HO plants standing.
Fourth six rows had U.ISJ plants standintr.
"i lold of first six rows was IIW pounds of
ears ; ppr acre , 21TO or ! H.l.
Yield of second rows was 1000 pounds of
eais : per act c. 'J01U , or 41.7.
Yield of third six rows was 15'Jl pounds of
pars ; per acre U907. or 41.5.
Yield of fourth six lows was 11CO pounds of
cars ; per acio D117 , or 'S0.2.
If there is any dilleronce in tlio qual
ity of the land it was in favor of the first
six rows. The variety of the corn was
the Thompson , a variety of average size.
Tito year was well known to have been a
very poor corn year and ono not fayora-
bl to thick plaining. The ground is an
upland soil , rolling and inclined to bo
dry. It is the poorest tillage licld we
have on the farm.
Two Wagons with Ono Team.
Team help is often scarce , and oven if
not it ia best to use it with as great
economy as possible. It is a great waste
of time to keep a strong , able team
standing idle while men are loading and
mloathng. By having two wagons this
oss may be avoided , and the amount of
ivork bo nearly doubled with little extra
expense. With a little calculation , aided
by experiment , it will bo found what
number of teams , wagons , and men will
work together with least loss in drawing
out manure or bringing in grain , hay ,
or other crops.
Snngonnblc Hints and Suggcstlona.
Corn that is in the least degree ati'octcd
by rust should never be used.
( Jive the cows warm stables , but do
not forget to have the air pure.
Do not forget that cats are very fond
of young clucks , ducks and turkeys.
good deal of the peculiar mutton
taste is taken out of it when mutton is
cured.
To kill out the cut-worms plow the
ground soon enough to allow the frost to
penetrate.
Sow some radish and kale for your
poultry as soon ns possible , and give the
'owls free range upon It.
A gill of linseed meal fed daily to each
cow or horse will kenp the bowels in
good condition and grontlv promote the
'inalth.
There is nothing to prevent the farmer
from experimenting. In that way ho
will learn more about hi.s own farm than
can be taught him by others.
Only fresh eggs should bo used for
latching purposes. When eggs are stale
the chicks do not hatch in the time due ,
iml often they die in the shell.
When cleaning the perches of the
poultry house it is necessary to apply
'he mixture of kerosene oil and grease to
ho under side as well ns the top.
If old hay be cut and moistened before
being fed to horses there will be fewer
animals sufFonnjj from heaves. Feeding
dusty materials is usually the cause of
the difliculty.
If your laml is well underdramed you
will often bo able to plow while your
neighbor who may not nave umlonlrained
is waiting for his ground to dry off before
he can begin.
A mixture of equal parts of red pepper
and Scotcli snuft' thrown into rat holes
will cause the vermin to leave. Rats soon
become suspicious of poison , and the
mixture easily frightens them.
All food cooked for stock is more easily
assimilated than wlten raw. It is only n
question of cost in cooking. Roots cooKed :
and thickened with ground grain make
an excellent mess for all kinds of stock.
Manuring land by plowing under some
kind of green crop , such as millet , buck
wheat , oats or peas , should bo the object
of every farmer. Clover is also excel
lent , nnd lime should bo freely used at
the same time.
Do not try to keep geese unless all the
conditions are favorable. Geese may bo
kept at a very small cost or they may en
tail cost according to circumstances. A
pond nnd pasture will enable them to
secure their teed with but little aid.
If the seed is good the cutting of pota
toes to pieces with txyo oyc.s should give
good results. In cutting always endeavor
to leave as much of the tuber to the eves
as possible , as it serves as plant fooif in
the early stages of growth.
Some of the garden crops arc very
hardy and can stand a light frost. On
ions , peas , beets and lettuce , if sown in
rows early , or as soon as the warmth of
the ground uermits , will make good
growth before some other crops are put
in.
Hoes do not work as well in n hive exposed -
posed to the sun. In midday , when very
hot , all work on the inside , such as comb
building and storing honey has to bo
suspended. Sometimes combs molt
clown and the brood dies in the heat of
the sun.
A grapevine arbor is considered an
excellent place for the bee-hive , as it
protects against the sun in summer but
should bo thick enough to servo as a
wind-brake in winter. In very cold
climates the hive should be placed in
the collar.
Lambs coming in this month are not
too late for the early prices if the owes
bo highly fed. so as to provide all the
milk required. As soon ns the lambs
will eat give thnm plenty of ground oats
and keep them well sheltered from
storms ami severe cold.
To secure good seed oats fill a largo
wash-tub two-thirds full of
- - water and
pour in half a bushel of oats at a time.
Skim oil' all hu oats that do not sink to
tint bottom. Draw off the water and dry
the seed , and tlio chances will bo that
every seed will sprout.
A"s > soon as your young tomato plants
become too thick in the box or hotbed
transplant some of them to cold frames
or thin out the plants. If they grow
very tall it is no objection , as the tomato
is a plant that can bo put in deep ground
leaving only a small portion ot the top
above the surface.
Tim cheapest hog food is said to bo
peas and sweet potatoes. The potatoes
are boiled nnd pea-meal added. This
claim , however , depends on the section
of country ami the price of corn , Where
sweet potatoes are easily grown , how
ever , there is no food that excels that
crop for fattening every class of stock.

water for bees after flying time says : "I

tlio pile of cloud bees in the bottom of
the luVb anil on the bottom board show
ing that the bens were suiluring for
water wlum they began to die. Perish-
infi from thirst day by day the cluster
dwindles until a mere handful being left
they succumb to tlio cold. "
A bean crop usually pays well and fre
quently better than most farm crops.
There is always a good market for them ,
and the planting , cultivation and har
vesting can bo attented to when it does
not interfere with tlio other products ,
which is a great advantage to farmers.
The white-leaved and weeping lindens
are among the most useful lawn trees for
our climate. They are hardy , and in
jurious insects and destructive diseases
appear to pass ttiem by and , while tlioir
growth is quite rapid , the foliage of each
is singularly beautiful aud tenacious.
Young horses that have not been ac
customed to hard corn are very subject
to lampas. Softer diet should replace
corn when lampas appears. The bowels
should be knpt open. This can be done
by giving food in tlio form of bran
inaslies. Laxative food is what is wanted.
When a dozen eggs bring nearly as
much in tlib market as a pound of butler
as they do in winter the farmer who
keeps liens and manages them well is
ahead of the farm dairyman whoso cows
can hardly return enough to pay for their
keeping.
Evan hog cholera is hrodtictive of
some good. It has led to'b'otter care and
treatment of the swine. They are not
now fed exclusively on corn the entire
year , while shelter is beinir provided for
the hogs that formerly had the leaky
sheds for u covering. Clpun water is
also given them , instead of filthy slon.
The result is that tlio disease is gradually
diminishing.
When placing eggs under a hen nso
the thermometer. Alter the eggs have
been in the nr.it four or live hours lay the
thermometer among the 'eggs ' under the
hen for a few minutesthen quickly with
draw it aud look for the record. If le s
than 103 degrees the lien docs not impart
sullicicnt heat , liens vary in giving
heat to the eggs , and some of them can
not hatch out n full brood.
If you wish early green food before the
grass crop is ready , especially if cattle
are conttned , make a small plot very ricli
with well-rotted manure , and sow mar
rowfat peas nnd oats together. Sow the
seed thickly , and cut for use at any tirao
when the material Is high enough for
Unit purposn. It is excellent for all kinds
of stock , and especially for cows and
sheep.
Oats are usually sown early for a gen
eral crop of seed , but our farmers miss
an excellent opportunity in not thickly
sowing oats to bo cut wnen in the green
stage. Use plenty of manure , and cut
the crop iust after the heads are formed ,
or when In the milky stage. It is an excellent -
cellont substitute for bay , the stalk and
heads bein < r ull eaten , while in nutrition
it equals anything that can be grown on
the farm considering thn cost of produc
tion , as it is a crop easily grown , and en-
tills but little labor in harvesting , cur
ing nnd storing in the barn.
