Saturday afternoon the deputy shurift"
of Gage county arrived in Lincoln nnd
took from the city jail Frank Crow , who
Is wanted in CJugo county. Crow was In
jail hero for carrying concealed weapons ,
but oil I cert ! in the city knew that ho was
wanted in Kansas for liorso stealing.
The sheriff from Oborlm , that Btato , ob
tained requisition papers from the gov
ernor , but was too late in serving them ,
the Oago county man getting hold of
Crow first. When this was learned the
governor revoked the requisition that
the prisoner might answer first to the
charges in thu state.

I'rnlrlo Farmer : Very many farmers
have only a faint idea of how summer
cultivation acts on the food and water
supply of Iho crops cultivated. The effect
of cultivation on these crops is most no
ticeable , hut false ideas of how the bene
fits are brought about are often held ,
\\liichlcadtowrongand injurious prac
tices. A farmer who plows to kill weeds ,
and merely runs his cultivator shovels
deep thai ho may handle a greal quan
tity of soil , loses sight of one of the main
objects of summer culture. It Is a mis
take to cultivate deep in order thai the
roots of Iho corn , potato or other crop
may more easily penetrate the boil ,
and al the same operation
destroys these roots Ihnt have
already found their way through
this same rich surface soil. The terms
"dust blanket" and "dirt mulch" are of
rather recent application , and express a
definite or iilcnr meaning lo but few. The
word mulch , when used alone , Is usually
understood to moan a covering of refuse
straw or other coarse material , and its
object is to keep the soil moist and cool.
it is impracticable to cover entire liolds
with a atraw mulch , even if it were de
sirable. The only practicable substilutc
is to keep the surface of the soil in such
condition that it acts as a mulch in dry
times. The surface soil keeps up its
supply of moisture between rains mainly
by raising it from the soil below by
means of capillary attraction , just as
water rises several inches in a board
standing on end in Hie water. After rains
have ceased the air becomes warm and
dry. and absorbs the moisture from the
surface of the soil. This cvaporalion
goes ou very rapidly at first , while the
soil isot wet , if the sun comes out warm
Immediately after the rain conses. Tno
water in the soil holds the soluble parM
in solution , lo be deposited at the surface
as the water evaporates. The soluble
material acts ns a cement on the less
soluble parts of the soil whloh have boon
rendered compact by the rains , nnd
when the surface has become thoroughly
tiried , a crust is formed over the entire
surface of the soil. The sun heating the
lower strata of air by relleclion Irom Iho
soil , and the movement of the air in
windy weather , keeps dry air constantly
in contact with the surface soil.
The crust formed after rams is com
pact , and the capillary connection reaches
entirely to the surface. From the crust a
constant drain is made on the moisture
retained in the soil by the invisible pro
cess of evaporation , i. o. . changing the
water of the soil into invisible vapor in
the air. It is desirable in the dry times
of summer to prevent this evaporation ,
leaving only the leaves and stems of the
plants to evaporate moisture. This cvap
oralion diroclly from the soil is quilo
offeellvoly checked by constantly stirring
the .surface soil to the depth of a few
inches. Boil thrown up or stirred when
not really wet lays up loose and the
capillary connection ia broken. Capil
larity works wilh as much force below
this mulch ns it would were the mulch
not present , but the nircan not so readily
take up the moisture. The mulch not
only benefits the soil by preventing evap
oration , but its loose character pre
vents the sun from penetrating and
baking the soil so deeply as it otherwise
would.
Since that part of the soil which is
nearest the surface is the richest , it is not
desirable to use moro of it in making a
mulch than is needed. If a perfectly
uniform dust blanket two Inches thick
could bo maintained in n corn , potato , or
other tilled field , doubtless the effect
would bo as nearly perfect as could bo
secured by a deeper mulch. In a very
dry time ndcopor mulch might possibly
bo butler. Growing crops have lo some
extent the same effect as mulch , as they
lessen thu action of the sun on the sur
face of the soil and keep the lower strata
of nir much moro nearly quiet.

McCooK , Neb. , July 15. [ Correspond
ence of the 13uK. ] The building boom
which seems to strike Nebraska towns
with as niucl1 regularity as the politician
strikes the people for oUicc , seems to bo
on tills year , anil the city of McCook
seems to bo enjoying its share , botli of
business and residence property. It is
no wildcat boom , as the business houses
under construction are all handsome
two and three-story ones. The resi
dences are neat and tasty ones , and will
lielp to sustain the reputation enjoyed by
tills city for having the neatest and coxi
est residences of any city between Hast
ings and Denver. Uutwecn fifty and a
hundred of these are now in course of
erection. Among the brick blocks under
way is a fine three-story one ou the cor
ner of Dodge nnd Main streets , being
limit by a company of homo capitalists.
It will bo 7u\r.0 , finished in the best
manner. Mr. F. 11. Spearman , president
of the Farmers As Merchants' bank , is
leady to begin the erection of a line two-
story brick on the lot north of the post-
ollico , to bo used as a bank room. The
Lutheran people are juit completing a
line brick hoiiso of worship , the
equal of which cannot bo found
in the wost. The 1J. tSs M.
corporation is just putting thereof
roof on a five .stall addition to their
round house in this city , making it a
twenty stall one , the largest in the .slate
oiilsiilo of Omaha and Lincoln , and be
sides this is making room lor additional
men it intends putting in its repair
shops.
There lingers in the memory of vour
lot-respondent a story that was sent out
from Iloldrego to the oll'ect that the 15.
& M. had located its onteiibivo machine
shops in that city. The shops will not
RO to Holdrego , Hastings or any other
town for very gooil rea.sons. Four voars
ago , when the city of McCook was con
ceived by the railroad olliciale , they had
in their mind a place , vorj nearly in the
center of the vast area of new country
they Intended to invade , which they
would build as a B. & M , town , and ono
which they would make an important
ono by the vast number of mon they
would bring to it to attend to their
business work in tncir shops and fac
tories , etc. Kqui-distant between Omaha
and Denver they found a location for
such a city , on the banks of the Republi
can , surrounded by as line an agricul
tural country as over laid out of doors.
The towu site sloped gently to the north
from the river bottom , making it very
desirable for a city , and hence these olh-
cials decided was the place for their
largo interests. Under these circum
stances McCook was born , and to-day
! ) ,5UO people , which make up her popula
tion , bless the judgment of said ollieials
in choosing such a site. The compuny
laid out a monster yard which will ac
commodate 1,000 miles of side tracks ,
erected a line two-story depot , an eating
house , monster round house , coal sheds ,
repair siiops , put in a system of water
works at a cost of $70,000 , and within a
few i sys after its birth McCook blos
somed out as a division station on the H.
M. , second in importance in this state
only to Lincoln. ! remits infancy until
tlie'presi'nt time the force of men in the
yards here has increased until now the
monthly payroll is about .3,000. Farsghted
business men , seeing the good work be
ing done by the company , joined hands
with it , and as a result wo have the beau
tiful city _ of McCook to-day , the coming
fourth city in the state.
The valley has been plentifully sup
plied with rain this season , and as a
consequence , the prospects for crops
wore never better. Farmers wear a con
tinual smile on their faces.
The creamery project has cotno to a
focus , and already work has been com
menced on the building. It will be the
only ono in the western part of the state ,
and in consequence will bo a largo one ,
so as to be able to supply this part of the
country with plenty of the best of butter.
Realizing the necessity of more bridges
over the Republican , the business men
have taken the matter in hand and will
put in a couple of more. There is some
little dissatisfaction in regard to the lo
cation , bul if it cannot be rrmcdied in
any other way , three bridges will bo
built. Whatever will bo ot benefit to
McCook goes witli our biinincss men.
As ono of the evidences of mntropoli-
tanism , wo P9int with pride to our all
ball club invincible , as it has not been
dofcated this year. It would like to get
into the Western league , as either Omaha ,
Hastings , St. Joe or Denver would bo
meat for it.

at the town of Callaway , and whoso
trade is tributary to her merchants and
mechanics. The safe for this bank has

Crops lit Colorado.
SIDNEY , Col. , July Ifi , [ Correspond-
cuco of tual } E.-4)urln ] the past three
months I have been over every part of
: ho broad table land stretching between
the Platte nnd Republican rivers in the
eastern part of Colorado , Settlers first
camolnto this region two years ago and
liave boon filling the country very rap
idly over since. This year complaints of
severe drought have been sent cast and
widely published , so ( hat a general im
pression prevails thattho _ country is lit-
craly burnt up. The facts In the cnso I
liavo been nt particular pains to Investi
gate. A record of the nvorago rainfall
in western Nebraska and Denver has
been kept for the last twelve or fifteen
years. The average at North Platte is
twenty-one inches per year , at Denver ID.
The average for the last four years ,
which was not greater than usual , has
been sullieient to secure abundant
crops of all kinds in Keith and Chase
counties Nebraska and eastern Colorado ,
but nevertheless the rain has always
Fallen in local showers , hero to-day and
thcro to-morrow. On the whole those
showers have averaged fairly well , but
not always. This year a local scarcity of
rain has caused almost a total failure of
crops in the southwestern corner of
Keith county and immediately south of
Julesburg. This area is probably forty
miles in width from east to west , and
thirty miles from north to south , but
rains have fallen all around this region ,
so that in eastern Keith county and as
far west as Sterling , Colorado , crops are
very promising. In southeast Chase
county there has been too much rain and
any damage to crops is duo to this cause.
Tlfat even the small grain crop is not a
total loss is proved by the purchase by
settlers ot forty-three scl fbind-
crs , all for use in Keith county
The settler on the western plains is as a
rule poor ; ho has no capital to tide over
a year of failure. He arrives late in the
spring with everything to do , everyihing
to haul , perhaps thirty or forty miles ,
llo hurriedly breaks a few acres and
plants a sod crop probably a month after
it should have been planted , and it takes
liis all on the maturing of this crop.
Under the very best ot circumstances
little return ought to bo expected , but if
jy ehar.ee a week or two of dry weather
comes after ho has planted , the grain
docs not sprout and the ground squirrels
may possibly dig up every kernel. After
the tardy seed has sprouted another dry
spell may occur and the hard , unrolled ,
unmullowfid .sod dries and bakes
and withers tlio tender shoots.
Then the settler in his dispair
writes to his wife's relations east
that ho is ruined and the country
is worthless. This has been the history
of every advance from the Missouri river
to the western edge of the state near
Sterling , Col. , side by side with fields in
which the corn WHS just appearing above
ground. July 15 , 1 have seen dark green
fields of thrifty corn Jive and six feet
high and so on through all the other
crops. From one end of the Frenchman
river to the other , from Akron to Oiral-
alia , from Sterling to Chbyenno the land
is all good and with good seed , proper
care and proper cultivation not more
subject to drought ono year with an
other than Illinois , Iowa or Michigan ,
parts of which sullbred 'so severely last
year.

is kept on ice , in the milkman'H can , erin
in the domestic refrigerator , it is con
tinually receiving the germs , becoming
more and more infected with thu germs
of decomposition. The practical lesson
from all this is the necessity of boiling
milk or other artjficial food for children
shortly before it is given as nourishment.
This cannot bo too strongly impressed
upon the minds of all concerned in the
welfare of children , and the younger the
chilil the greater the importance of ob
serving the rule.
In the earliest months of life a feeding
bottle of some sort is a necessity , but it
shuold bo discarded as soon as possible.
A child may bo taught to drink from a
glass or a CUD at an early age. and the
earlier the bolter. The construction of
the nursing bottle is such that great
care constantly observed , will alone in
sure safety. The simpler the form of the
bottle the easier it will bo to keep it
clean. Two of thorn should bo in use ,
ono in a strong solution of bicarbonate
of so'la nfter lliorough scalding , while
the other contains the food for immedi
ate feeding , Carelessness in the man
agement of the feeding bottle is the
cause of death in numberless instances
every summer. The presence of decom
posing food in the digestive tract of the
child acls as a powerful irritant ,
probably by reasons ol poison developed
from the undigested articles of food by
the process of "putrefaction. Pure sugar ,
than which nothing can.be less harmful ,
who decomposed by the growth of the
yeast plant , produces alcohol and car
bonic acid gas , both powerful poisons to
the higher grades of life , and in consider
able xuanlity distructivo to the very
agenls ( Iho plants ) which produce them ,
in the same way nil food stuffs , when decomposed -
composed , produce deadly noisons. Some
of them act something like croton oil
nnd the other irritant vegetable poisons ,
and cause profuse watery evacuations
from the bowels sumfudr complaint. "
Others resemble opium ; or morphine
cause stupor and convulsions.
Do not bo induced to take some other
preparation when you call 1 for Hood's
Sarsapanlla. lie sure to get Hood's ,
which is peculiar.
CO-OPERATIVE FARMING.
A. HotifMiin of elio Knights of Labor.
Minneapolis Tribune : An interesting
experiment in co-operative industry is
now being made in Minnesota where a
colony of a half-dozen families from Min
neapolis liavo settled in Crow Wing
county on n tract of land of 250 acres ,
bought for the purpose by the Minneapo
lis Knights of Labor. These families
wore not prospering in the city , and were
too poor to have undertaken farming in
dependently , On so small a sctUo did
they begin , , nnd so poor wore they , that
It was months before they could provide
with a rtagli WMB of horses.
Hut , after n year's trial , the Minneapolis
Tribune states that they have done well ,
have found health and n sulllclcnt though
frugal living on the land , nnd have : v
start that will render them eventually
prosperous.
The movement toward co-operation
among farmers In this country has hither
to led to the organization of lodges of
"grangers" and assumed bticinoss shape
in the establishment of "stores" for the
disposal of farm produce and Iho soiling
of supplies to the farmers with a margin
of profit sufliclout only to pay the run
ning expenses of Iho establishment.
From these organisations some useful
results were obtained , though they fall
far short of what had been claimed and
hoped for. While the grangers were
flourshlng they tended to promote noigut
borly soolblllty and nn inter-chango of
useful ideas pertaining to tlie occupations
of farm life. Hut through various causes
the grange movement fell nway , and
while the organisation in many places
still survives it does not liavo the political
and civil Importance it bade fair at ono
onn lime to attain.
The advantages of co-operation in
farming nro these which ororywhero re
sult from organized nnd harmonious ef
fort over the same aggiogato of inde
pendent Individual efl'ort. It does nway
with Iho isolations of ordinary farm life ,
permits a better standard of living at less
'
cost , and , if rightly managed , would
yield each family n larger not profit than
separate farming.
The general plan of co-operative farm
ing provides for the lesidciice of a num
ber ol families at a central spot , whereby
they can live in a much better .stylo than
would bo possible if isolalod. Moreover ,
they can diversify their operations , and
can grcally increase their margin
of protit at every point. I'ho dillieiil-
ties in the way are such as arise
trom the frailties of human nature.
Should the experiment of co operative
farming prove successful , it affords a
means whereby the broken-down and
unlortunalo may be taken ftom the cities
to the quiet and restoration of the coun-
ir.y. Il too much be not expected and
attempted , and the association bo gov
erned by principles of ordinary business
partnership , this experiment of co
operative farming may may have a suc
cessful issue. Hut we fear there will bo
clashing as the association accumulales
capital , and tao abler members of Iho
community become discontented with
their allotted percentage of profit.
