It was i eportcd yesterday on the streets
thnt Mr. 1'erky has written staying negotia
tions on the Belt line project and street car
works. A great deal of Interest has been
taken in the project by numerous citizens ,
but a deal of caution has been manifest In
discussing the ear project that is notmanifest
in relation to the Kelt line , and It is very
evident that the Holt line will bo build. The
beet sugar project grow.s in popular favor ,
und from the fact that the syndicnte projwso
to invest live to ono over what they usk , it Is
a safe conclusion that it means business. A
plant of that magnitude would mean some
thing of vnluo to the city.

Word * of "Wisdom Dropping From tlio
Moil t IIH of Children.
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. "

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.

known us colubtrum should have entire

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.

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.

llnMhes over the body.
The pain which acrorivpnnles this condition Is
or a dull character , felt fntlie chest , behind the
