In ono of the classes of our public ftchoota , a few dny ago , the teacher Interrupted the rejrular order of exorcises with u short period of mental recreation , during which the little ones were given nn opportunltj to toll what they know of mutters of lociil nnd general Importance , which hnd been In some manner or other brought to their attention. The ex ercise finally turned In the direction of the children's ' naming three men whom they con sidered the greatest In the country. Of course , the estimate of Iho little ono was far- reaching. Characters who have llgurod In history , ns statesmen , i > oets , writers , uetors nnd business men , from the tlino of Washington wore mimed. Some of the scholars' named three , others two men , while some were hole to mention but ono man. One of the last mentioned was a beautiful little brunette , with sparkling eyes nnd Intelligence , domin ating every feature. She could name but one man and In her mind the greatest man was our own well known nnd enterprising real estate broker , C. K. Maync. As mny be Im agined the mention of the nnino of n local celebrity attracted attention nnd unwittingly thi' little cherub but gave expression to ono Idea which has long been active in many an ndult's mind. It was of course from older heads that the child-had received Its Impros- slon , whleh.facHs commendable to the hon esty of our ptoplo who cheerfully pay tribute to deserving worth. It Is not intended to spenkofMr. Mayno its great among those who have gone down to posterity , but as a friend of Omaha ; us ono of the most etior- gctlu and enterprising business men In this city ; as n man who has done more than any other man In this city to inaugurate the real estate iKiom which has resulted In n few years In wealth to hundreds , as the man who , In thus Inaugurating that movement , Indi rectly turned volumes of business Into almost every line In the city , and above all as the friend of this growing city of Omaha , there will not bo many reasonable discntlng voices from the little girl's proposition that C , E. Maync is really n great man. IlICH "IOW DIVES. " It Is Not ( ho lIlKh-TonpcI Snloon Thnt MukoH tlio Mn < 4t Money. "One of the most fallacious arguments of the day , " said n prominent liquor dealer , "Is that which makes It appear that a high tax put upon saloon dealers will close up the so- called low dives. This argument , of course , emanates from prohibition enthusiasts who know absolutely nothing us to the compara tive receipts of the 'high-toned' saloon and the 'low dive. " Hut those who are in a posi tion to know will tell you every time that the poorer class of saloons are the ones that muku the money. The prohibitionist , If ho happens to glance Into n bar where the fix tures are plain , and the patrons of the place moro roughly dressed than in some saloons with gilded ceilings and exquisite mirrors , sets the former down at once as a 'low dis-o , ' when , In truth , it is as respectable ns any. " "Tho saloons In Omaha that cater to , nnd obtain the trade of the working-men are the ones that are making the money. Their ex penses are far less , und their receipts nro actually larger than those of their more pretentious neighbor. It is they who are nblo to pay $1,000 down moro easily than the keeper of the glided saloon. " An oxclmngc says : There are more putlrf innrto on Or.

No IjlvltiR by Crops Alone. New York Tribune : Ho is not the best farmer who realizes the mo.-Jt money from ti given number of acres , but ho who , wlillu producing the largest crops pobtilhlo with the facilities at baud , does not fail to keep everything trim and at tractive the hoUK > and grounds in order , fences in good , condition , ( those around the house painted or white washed ) , the yard covered with turf , dotted with trees and shrubbery ; the back yard as neat as the front , Hot a faiuglo corner for rubbish ; the kitchen garden free from weeds and full of every vegetable in its season. In the house hold everything that tends to the com fort of the family will bo on hand. At the barn everything can bo in place ; no loose boards and litlor about the yard , no holes of dirty water , no implements wasting in tho. weather. A good farmer will bo ambitious to have a good road by his premises ; oven gratis labor will bo given to this end. In many places trees will be planted along the wayand neatly trimmed hedges lake the place of un sightly zigzag fences. The roadside will bo mowed in proper season , thus destroying weeds and keeping along the border a plot of nice green grass. Thus in everything pertaining to the farm the farmer will not only keen before - fore his mind the profit to bo derived , but will often bo content with loss money in order that the love for the beautiful nd good may bo cultivated and the highest typo of manhood devel oped by the side of great crops of grain and herds of line stock , Llvo Htock mid Fortuity. Prairie Farmer : In mixed or diver sified farming in the west a goodly num ber of live stock is necessary. The price of land and the cost of labor have not asyot'mado the purchase of com- nercial fertilizers profitable , except on ucuial and for partif ular purposes. Hut no history of nearly nil western local- ties demonstrates the fact that if nni- nal manure is not produced cropping o grain alone for a period of years will so deteriorate the soil as to require ntiny years of carefully improved fami ng to'bring it back to its original slate of fertility. To hoc this illustrated at irosont ono has only to go into any vcstern neighborhood where farms uivo been skinned to _ death by the enter or owner in raising &UCCOSMVC irops of grain without returning tiny- ' .hiug to the land. Those who , on on- , cring upon now farms are able and Hive the foresight to secure enough cat- Ic , sheep or other stock , find abundant easons in a few years to believe , lmt they have acted more wisely than , heir neighbors who used all their ncans-in purchasing land upon which o produce grain. During the summer ivo stock waste but little of their food , is that not stored up in the body rc- , urns to the land in manure. In winter , here is more or less lohS in proportion .o tlio care used in saving and applying jurnyard manure. After the farms of a county are once developed and the line of farming to bo pursued is thoroughly established , the presence or absence of ivo stock indicates in no little degree whether the fertility of tho. land is bc- preserved or increased , or the con trary. Even where insects , climate or other conditions do not prevent the economical production of wheat , the auk of manure and rotation on the special wheat farm hinders the con tinued raising of that crop to advantage , jo with corn , only very i ioh lands will boar good crops during many faiiccesai years without manure. Hay lands be come "tired , " BO to speak , of continual cropping , with no return of .enriching materials. Fruit and garden plots need manure , as do also special cropf , such as buchwheat , ilax , roots Hungarian anil other annual fodder crops. But there usually is but very little made except by means of live block. There is a limit beyond which farming throughout the west cannot at present be specialized , nd live block cannot bebafely discarded from any considerable number of farms. They are necessary to the diversity of farm crops and essential for iv goad rota tion. They not only aid in returning -fertility to the soil'but they make de sirable use of crops which are desirable jn rotation , but which would not othec- wi.o jwiy. They require but little atten tion during summer when the crops need care , und they furnish pleasant employment in winter when other work necessarily rests. Tho.v add more capi tal to the farmer In stock , buifd ng and other improvements , without increas ing the number of acres and as a rule make farm work more pheasant. Something About I-'CIIUCH. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette : In the name of humanity the barbed-wire ought to bo largely discarded and only utilized in faiich u manner that stock is not likely to bo injured thereon. I sup pose that the cheapest fence wo can adopt is no fence at all ij luxury which the stock law allows us measurcably to enjoy ; which , I think , will grow in favor and bo generally adopted , bo far as practicable , on our farms. . Next to no fence , I have no doubt that the least costly Is the live post fence , made by planting locust or osngo at proper distances 'for posts , then stretching u couple of wires , using one board of sutticiont'idth to be seen , bimply to guard the stock from running headlong into danger. Without some such precaution it will require but a few minutes for u reckless colt to com mit unpronioditatdd suicide , This , of course , would not make a hog fenco. In order to accomplsh this dilllcult task we must drive n stake at the center between posts and add a couple of strong bonrdn , and then our fence would cost almost ns much as any other. There is perhaps no fence quite cquul to that constructed by planting good black locusts or cedar posts eight feet apart and then nailing on good first- class sixteen foot fencing. Four boards and a can will make n fence aultlcienlly high ami as handsome as can bo plfced upon the farm. The great objection to the osage or ange fence is the amount of territory monopolized on either side by the roots. Otherwise , if timely trimmed and kept nt sufficient height , I know of nothing better or cheaper. I regard it aa the best outside fence that those of us living near villages can possibly .have , and especially if wo attempt to raise water melons or fruits of different kinds. It saves the expense of n shotgun , allow nature to mature the fruiUs by her slow processes and very much prolongs the fruit season. This ocago fence , too , can bo made , ornamental us well u useful. , If man aged Intelligently It can bo kept In order at compnnUitely little expense , anil ivhon used upou the boundary line of your farm it draws hal.s its nourish ment and half 11s care from your neigh bor. Mo t of the opposition to this ) valuable hedge fence comes from its slovenly management. If allowed to run wild for bovonil years It is far worse than a balky mule tcntn In stirring up all the dllibollsm there is in the man who undertakes Its subjection. If he has not naturally the hide of a rhinoceros ho ought to have a suit of buckskin and earryiwlth him a bottle of Pond's extracts. Those are necessary farm contingents when the principal fence is badly manajrud osngo orange. The woven paling fence has some good qualities. It utilized old boards which have served their day in the rul ing fence. Posts are miulo useful that would have to bo otherwise discarded , and when properly braced and tightly woven and securely fastened to the posts it makes a reasonably good and not very expensive fonco. Hut to get the best results from this fence we must remember several things ; First We must anchor it tightly to the post , not by n single staple , but we ought to se cure it at every other post oy wire. This would prevent u great deal of loosening andsiigglng. " . There ought to be n barbed wire stretched to prevent the breast and neck of your horses from doing mischief in reaching over after richer pickings , working the palings apart , loosening the staples and stretch ing the wjres and bringing about early dilapidation. Third Posts ought to be planted as frequently as for any other fence. Fourth Palings should bo as nearly of the sanu ! size as possible. Fifth The fence ought to bo woven with n fencing machine , and put Up with three .strands of wire ( of less size ) , rather than two strands of heavier wire. And then , after all thebo precautions are taken , the old sow's snout ought to bo well filled with jewelry and kept recftonably tender , or she will bo un happy until she lifts your fence and pusses under to the conquest of other worlds. If I had u farm not cut up by road and creek , and whoso topography would allow , I would put an osngo hedge around the entire outside , and if tlio law would permit T would allow it to grow up into trees on the west and north , and thus shelter my crop from the destructive htorms which these regions so delight to send down upon us. Then I would have home kind of a movable fence for inclosing the pasture range , and this is all the fencing 1 would want. I would so divide my farm and so arrange my system of rotation that this outside hedge fence would inclose two sides of my pasture range. For in stance , if the farm is made up of n square 1(10 ( acres , I would draw imagin ary lines through the center , north and south , east and west , making four forty- acre tracts , each of which is inclosed upon two sides by the ' outside fence. I would manage to'keop one of these forties in pasture nTTlho time , and all the movable feed I tvthild need would bo on two sides of fortynicres , and by rotat ing around the farni''i-egularly that is , shifting the pasturo'Vango to the next forty only one side of this movable fence would have to.bo shifted for this change , thus makii\g..tlfo work compar atively light and inexpensive and en abling me to practice and maintain the very best system of rotation. Then , at the center of my 1GO 'acres , and accessi ble to the four fields which In turn be come the pasture r-suigc I would have cisterns or wells with sullioiont capacity for all the stock I mjght wish to carry. An immense cibteni could bo supplied by tile drains , which' would answer the double purpose of draining the soil undi furnishing wator'for ' the stock. Then , with a windmill to do the pumping , your summer equipment would be quite complete , so far as the btool ; is con cerned. Timely Hints About Poultry. This , says Mr. A. D. Halo , the Ten nessee poultry breeder , in Homo and Factory , is a trying time on the late hatched birds , both of this and last sea son's rnibing. Last year's late hatched fowls are now in the midst of their moult , and.unless they are fed plenti fully and furnished a good warm house to shelter them from the cold , drizzling rains , you may look out for roup. chol era , etc. , as the heavy drain on the sys tem caused by nuHilting weakens and emaciates the bird , and leaves the sys tem in good shape to take on disease. They should bo fed plenty of good , clean , nourishing fopd , and about two or three times a week given sulphur , about a tablespoonful to ten full-grown birds ; give also Douglass mixture in their drinking water , ono gill ton gal lon of water every other day ; and above all , don't neglect to furnish them with cornmenl ; they need all these things to acsist nature i'n feather making. And no\v about the little follows : You nntbt furnish them good , clean , warm quarters to roost in , and they should have an open shed to run under when it rains , and , on rainy days , throw a little wheat screening under the shed among the straw and other litter to keep them busy scratching. This will not only furnibh amusement , but gives them the needed exorcise ; you may also giyo them the sulphur. Douglass ! mixture , cornmeal - meal , etc. , reduoing quantity , of course according to ago. Seasonable Hints and 8uggcstiniiH. The usual rule is to pave the milk at the end of the fifth to the seventh day after calving. No fixed date can bo given. There should bo no .sign of fov- erishncss or inlluniinution about the ud der , and the peculiar milk of birth known us colubtrum should have entire ly piiHsod away. One of the host moans of removing lice from fowls is to nmko them do it themselves , by having a lot of dry earth where they can dust themselves when ever they feel like it , having first sprinkled'tho earthc with diluted .car bolic acid. This acid proves too much for the lice , and thqyilenvotho promises- at once , or it causes them to give ur the ghost. Fowls are machines to produce eggs and llesh , and wo Height as well expect cloth from a factory tiint has no wool or cotton as to expect eggs from hens not supplied with food. . Liberal fcejling means liberal profits ; neglect means loss of what you do give them. As a rule , feed well or kl\ } \ the stock. This should bo the rule , , fpr tho. results are as sure to follow as day is sure to follow sunrise. _ , When the wool buyer .comes rount the farmer wishes bpr'had looked after his bheop a little morp , closely , cut down the bur and brier bushes and removed the tags in the spring. A dirty lleeco weighs more , but thb buyer is keen- sighted , and is sure to deduct from the price paid for good clean wool more than enough to make up for the extra weight. Hear this lesson in mind , and keep the wool clean next year. Cows , if allowed to fall off in their flow of milk , will not usually regain it If the pastures nro deficient supplomcn them with fodder , corn and a ration o corn meal , ground oats and brnn. Ir the cooler days of this month and those that follow , excellent butter may be made , equal to that In Juno. Cows , t < calve In the winter , should bo dried of about two months before their time , and bo well fed while dry. In this country a famine is almost im possible. While droughts occur in tonic scctions ruln is usually pleutifnl else wlicro. The past season was noted for- doatruction from both droughts nnd freshets nt the same tlmo. Crops nro very short In Illinois , Wisconsin nnd lown , whllo In the eastern states the yields hnvo been excellent. The tlmo mny yet come when sdonco will ennblo the farmer to largely control the sup ply of water required. The value of a ton of ordinary ma- ntire is estimated tit 83 , while a low price for a ton nf commercial fertilizer Is $30. The farmer must , therefore , handle ten times ns much manure 113 fertilizer * lu order to provide the same amount ot plant food. In purchasing fertilizers the matter of hauling nnd distributing the manure and fertilizers should , therefore , be considered in the comparison of cost and benefit to bo de rived from each. Most farmers nro not familiar with the pedigrees ot the best trotting fam ilies of hordes , and may not succeed lu breeding trotters , but every farmer should aim to use heavy draught stallIons - Ions with the ordinary farm marcs when desiring to raise colts. It costs no moro to raise a good grndo colt than to raise a mongrel , but thro is a great dif ference in the value at maturity. In spreading manure over the sur face of the ground , to remain there nil the winter , it is best to llrst plow the ground niul then spread the manure. If the ground bo not plowed , nnd bo hard or rolling , much of the soluble matter of the manure will be dissolved and carried off by the rains. If the ground bo first plowed the matter will soak in. Estimating the population of the United States at AO.OOO.OOO , enough corn is annually grown to allow each inhabi tant at least ono bushel pee week. This is moro thru enough of corn alone to supply nil the food required , but the larger portion is consumed by live stock , being thereby converted into meat. The estimated yield of sorghum pet- acre is 1U" > pounds of sugar and ton galleons loons of syrupaccording to a Kansas re port. Unless tlio refuse be used for stock in some manner it is doubtful if there be any prollt in such yield after deducting all expenses of growing the crop and making the sugar and syrup. Do not value a hog because It does not cat much. A gored hog has an excellent appetite always , and eating n largo quantity of food means rapid growth. Increase of weight cannot bo scoured ex cept by the use of food , or "raw mater ial" with which to manufacture the pro duct desired. Thcro is ono advantage possessed by wool and butter , which is that both nr- ielcs ran bo shipped at a lower cost , in H'oportion to value , than most farm n-oducts. As wool is not perishable It 'nn bo shipped to the most distant mints , while butter keeps a long tlmo n winter. Boiled corn is said to produce moro Kirk than the raw kind and of as good liiality. The question to be considered KMvevor , is not which is iho moro nu- ritious , but which is the cheaper , as lie fuel and labor required to cook the corn must bo deducted as expenses. Skim milk thickened with shorts nnd jorn meal makes almost a perfect feeder or growing pigs , and if given .throe Limes a day it will cause them to grow apidly. If a mess of chopped clover my ( scalded ) bo also given once a day ho pigs will need nothing else. In lllling walls with sawdust , whether or silos , ice-houses or root-bins , the sawdust should bo dry and well packed down , or it will shrink and settle and " .onve empty spaces. Ono pound of hay lost per day ( and on many farms there arc several ) to each initmil , the waste will amount to two ons to every twenty-live head of cattle 'n the foddering season. An experienced dairyman says ho would prefer to spend all the proceeds of the dairy for feed during , say , Feb ruary. March and April , and look to iho balance of the year for profits , than to slack up on feed , even with dry cows. The estimate is usually made that a Leghorn or Hamburg cock may bo mated with fifteen hens ; a Wyandotte , Plymouth Rook , lloudan or Langshan with twelve ; a Minorca with fourteen , nnd a Brahma or Cochin with ton. Old leather contains a considerable IKjirontngo of ammonia compounds , which , though said to bo insoluble , are , in fact , very slowly soluble. A good way to dispose of old boots , therefore , is to bury them at the foot of an upplo tree. tree.All All Arabian horses are of middling size , very easy in their puces and rather thin than fat. They are cleaned every 'hiorning and evening regularly with so much care that not the smallest spot is left on their skin , and their legs , innno and tail are washed. The latter is al lowed to grow long , and is seldom combed , to avoid breaking the hairs. They have nothing given them to cat all day. nnd seldom arc allowed to drink moro than two or three times a day. At sunset a bug is fastened nround'thcir heads , containing about half a bushel of very clean burly , which is not taken from them until the next morning , when all is eaten up.
