SHORT HISTORY OF THIS ENTERPRISE , Soiiictlilnt ; About the Ulnfoornto Ap pointment of Thin Pnlnllnl llos * tlcry Its Owners and the Management nt Present. Qnlotly and with no moro ostentation tban ho spring is making in its advent , the doors of the now Grand betel have been tbrown open to the publis nnd the entertainment of guests begun. Aitboutrh only tbo briefest ncntton of the tact bad been made in the icwspapcrs tbe traveling public quickly earned of the fact ami tbo two or thrco pages of the register dally consumed attest the pop ularity the great hostelry has attained oven In the first stages of Its ox- stance. And well It might , for there s no moro Imposing uotel edlllco anywhere. No summer resort hotel In the Jutted States bus a more attractive location. Standing on tho' corner of Pearl street ana ? irst avcuuo its sovcn storlot of stone anu brick tower nbovo nil adjoining buildings , and facing Uayllss park Its wlnuows look out upon the most delicious little bit of emerald that weary eyes can hope to find. From the jascmcnt to the copper covered domes there is not a window the sunshine will not pene trate , there Is not n dark place where a gloomy shudow can find a hiding place , and a guest must have something more than poor dlucstloil and ordinary 111 health who does not fool the benign Influence of the plnco. No hotel could bavo a moro p ca ant situation. Surrounded by clean [ > avcd streets , within a block of nil the banks , [ ) ostonice , court house , nnd In the center of uuslncbs , yet its location on the avchuo with lf > 0 feet frontntjo on the park , removes it from the dust of the city. The external ap pearance Is very impressive. It Is modern in every respect and readily suggests where the architects found means of placing J-50- JOU worth of material nnd labor The first two stories are of rough sandstone with cut edges and the remain ing llvo of tbippcd pressed brick. The ofllee Is on the llrst lloor , nnd above iu glass covered dome Is an open court , which furnishes light and air to all of the interior rooms , Imposing and beautiful ns the exterior is it is only when yon pass under the heavy cawed stone portals that you realize moro fully the Justice of the claim that Council Uluftshas in the new Grand the 11 liest hotel In the Missouri valley , and ono that meets the requirements of a llrst class hostlery as fully as the best in the world The olllco Is reached from entrances on both Pearl street and the avenue , nnd it is as complete und perfect as architectural skill and unlimited money can make It. The en trances are tiled in mosaics of rich designs nnd the lloor of the odlco und reading room Is covered with bnndsomo tiling. The walls are protected with highly polished marble wains- coating of light color , with n heavier nnd darker hucd base. This is of uniform height , with the clerk's desk , which Is composed of the same kind of marble. The s.uno ex pensive and elaborate character , of ornamentation is carried thiough the reading room , tbo wash room and the closets , where everything , except the beats and the plumbing , is marble. Guests who have visited all the finest hotels in 'tho country unqualifiedly pronounce the ofllco to bo the equal of anything In the western cities. In duytlmo It is lighted by tbo soft light that streams through the ground glass dome that covers It. and at night 100 Incan descent electric lights leave no pluco for n shadow. Every appointment for the comfort and convenience of the guests has been provided , news stands , clgur stands , cloak rooms , check stands , telegraph olllco , carriage ofllee , mes senger service and every means for meeting the requitcnients of any guest. Two rapid passenger elevators of the mostnpprovcd pat tern , in addition to the marble and iron stair way , lend to the upper floors. The elec tric cnunclators are of the , same pattern ns these in the Hoffman house , New York , and the guest in room 71" . the highest num bered loom in the uouso , Is In as close com- muntcatlpn with the ofilccs us the occupant of parlor A or the lounger In ono of tno chairs on the marble lloor of the ofllco. Buck of the oRlco Is the freight elevator , which stands Iwido the door opotilug into the covered al leyway , where all baggage and freight Is de livered. The upper floors nro fully up to the stand ard of elegance and beauty that enriches the olllco. The wood work throughout is finished in the natural state , nnd Is all oan , walnut , butternut , cherry and ash. The parlors uro located on the second floor in the south and cast side of the building. They nro models of beauty , quietly but richly furnished , sepa rate and numbered A , B and C. In each the woodwork and furnishings match. In parlor A the furniture Is enameled with white nnd gold , Including a , magnificent Hnrdman piano that was built especially for the plnco it occu pies.All All the rooms on tbo second floor , except these opening Into the court , are cnsuite , each provided with bath , reception room and bed chamber. The third and fourth floors uro divided m nearly the same manner , and while all the guests will have every comfort that can bo provided , these who desira can llvo In Just us much luxury as thov chose to pay for. All the furniture in thosuest rooms is of the finest character and hard wood to matcli the wood work of the rooms. The carving of many of the suites Is extremely rich. Hard wood Is used In the furniture oven In the servants' rooms. The wall ornamentation throughout the entire building is rich und chusto. The dining room is n grand apartment on the seventh floor , occupying the southeast * ! 1 11.11 riti II corner or the building. The ceiling Is twenty- five feet high. Massive windows reach to the top. Majbla walnscoatlng , marble tiled floor , massive and elaborately carved side boards , the tinast sixteenth century oaken tables and leather upholstered chairs and solid silver table service and fine chinaware complete the cleganco nnd leave nothing for the objection of the most fastcdious. Adjoin ing tbo dining room and covered with the softest Wilton carpets are the ladles' first and second ordinaries , where the tublo scrv- Ice Is elaborate und rich. The kitchen and store rooms are on the seventh lloor in the northwest part of the building , and no smell of cooking food c.m reach the dining rooms or any guest chamber. The hotel has been nearly ono nnd a hall years In process ol construction. It Is built In the most substantial nnd perfect manner , currying out every approved ide.i of hotel iVrfectlon. It is n monument to its builders , Messrs. ICImball nnd Champ , and a matter ol mom thtvn local prldo to the city. After the hotel was neatly completed it was necessary to plnco It In llrst class hands. There were imuiy eagar applicants for It , but It was fi nally leased to ( Jraglu & Co. , who are apper tains some of the finest hotels in the south , notablv thu Caldwcll , n SUOO.OOO hostelry In Birmingham , Ala. , and the Armstrong , nt Homo , Gu. In fur- nlshlng the splendid now building they have spared no expense. Ono Grunu Hnplds , Mich. , furniture factory was given u contract for 11,000 worth of furnituro. All the other furnishings that could bo purchased from the Council Uluffs nnd Omaha wholesale houses were obtained hero. The two or three days the hotel has been open for the ro- eoption of guests has demonstrated the lact that the service Is par excellence from the ofllco to the kitchen. The official corps Is composed of gentlemen of culture and alllbll. Ity. Mr , T. U. Stanley has cbargo of the omco In the day time , nnd Mr. James T. Icrhuo , formerly of the Murray In Omaha , will stnlla at the belated travelers when the electric lights nra bunting. Mr. C. H. Clark Is bookkeeper und cashier und is a southern gentleman who will be very popular. As line a bar as tbero is in the west Is connected v. Ith the hotel and under Its management. In the plumbing the contracts called for the best of everything , and the system followed Is that approved by the best sanitary enrU neers In the world. The building Is lighted throughout with electricity nod piped for gas. It Is wired for every known system of clectrlo lighting. Last night over 500 electric lights were burning within its walls.

WILL PUNISH PATTON. 3'.cps to Un Tnkcn to Stop Ills Until oil the Treasury. The Justice fco difficulty still continues to bo next to tbo weather , the favorite topic of conversation on tbo streets. There nro not many who claim that Justice I'atton did what was rlgnt In trying to make n good living out of the county , as ho says lie tried to do , but there are seine who are Inclined to glvo htm some sympathy from the fact that lie did no worse , perhaps , than a ercat man y of his predecessors. Judge MeGno Is being freed frum any suspicion and Justice Hum mer , who was allcced to have beer. In collu sion with him In his attack upon the couuty treasury , has not been once mentioned in the invenigntlon. Justice Patton , bv his outspoken remarks , bus brought down upon his head the auger of certain leaders among the local democracy , nnd they have taken upon themselves n solemn oath to down him at all hazards. Ono of them tnlod ton BII : : reporter yesterday that the next thing in order would bo to bring Pntton before the grand Jury , which is now in session , for an Indictment on the charge of perjury. Justice Patten's claims were discussed nt some length by tbo supervisors yesterday morning , nnd the unanimous opinion was that they would bear still closer scrutiny before fore thov were ready to bo passed. Judge W. U. James and Hon. Thomas Bowman were prenent nnd rendered some assistance to the board in coming to this conclusion. It was finally decided to lay the bill on the table , pending nn investigation. A recess was thcn'tnkcn for dinner. After the supervisors had refreshed the inner man they returned to the court house prepared to do something desperate. The first thing they did was to pass a resolution exonerating Judge McGee nnd Justices Hammer and Cones from any accusations , whether express or implied , which might have been made against them In the course of the investigation. The next thing was the passing of the following resolution , which was done without a dissenting vote : Whoicas , lly Bworn bills prosentei' to the board of Mipervlsois of I'ottiiuattumli1 county , Iowa , by W. K. I'atton , c .q. . a Justice of thu pcucu In nnd for Kane \\nshii > > , 1'ot- tu\Mituunle county , lowu. and statements mailo to bald board by said I'atton anil others , the said board , In regular session. Is appraised of the fact that said justice of the ucaco him imido faNe charges of feus on thu dockets and rccoids of his eourt , nnd renduiud Illccal charges nnd fees against I'oUiiwaUnmlu county , Iowa , and Is apprised thereby that said Justice of thupuaeu Is Kiillty of wilful inatauiiilnlstiatlon Inofllcu ; thurufoio bo It Husol\ed , by the board of supervisors of 1'ottnw attain lo county , Iowa. That the county attorney be. nnd ho Is hereby requested and Instructed to talto stuns to iirmunt any future attempts to ob tain Illegal and lletltlous fyos from iho county treasury and to enusn said maladmin istration of otllce to ho Inquired Into by civil plot-codings ns niovlded by law In chapter 7. of title V , of code of 1S7.1 , and lo suspend mild Justice fiom ollk'o as provided by law during the pendency of said cause while undeter mined. The Judge of the district court Is the only ono who has the power of sitting in Judge ment on a case of this kind , and he also has the exclusive right to suspend an officer pending a determination. It is m-obablo that , application will bo made to Judge Deeiner in the course of a day or two to have Patton suspended until the case which is to bo com menced against him shall have been decided. Manager Hazolton of the Chautauqun As sembly association appeared before the board yesterday morning and asked permission to change the name of the company In the peti tion for the right of way , from the ' Council Bluffs street ruilwry company" to the "Omaha and Counci , Bluffs railway and brldgo company , " nnd then to rofllo the peti tion. His request , was granted , nnd the petition was nlso grautod , with the provision that the company should lilo a written acceptance of the ordi nance granting the right of way with the county auditor within thirty days and should have the railway In operation by the first of August. Mr. Ha/elton stated that ho did not core to have the motor line there at all unless ho could have it by that tlmo. Super visors Alexander and Osier voted against the granting of the right of way. The contract was signed by the supervisors by which thoVomnn's Christain nssociation Is to have the cure of a part of the county patients.

Continuation of the Investigation by the Federal Gnuitl Jury. CHICAGO , April 11. The Investigation Into the nllegca plot to blow up with dynamite the distillery of H. H. Shufeldt by Secretary Gibson of the whisky trust was continued today bytho federal grand Jury. Govern ment Ganger Dowar , who , It Is alleged , Gib son sought to brine Into the plot , mid sovor.il other persons were examined. It Is said' the government has evidence to show that the material for the explosive compound was bought at Col bum & Blrk's drug store , in Peoria , and that the compound was made In the laboratory of the trust at Peoria. Government ofllululs assert that the trust has been using laree amounts of money to buy off witnesses before the grand Jury , und hint that some of the witnesses who liavo DOCII examined will ho prosecuted for per jury. jury.This This afternoon William Burry , attorney for Gibson , entered the ofllco of United States Marshal Hitchcock and gave that onlclnluse vere tongue lashing for alleged high-handed arrests of witnesses. Mr. Hitchcock says Burry's nttack Is without justification and that the government simply took precau tions that Ash ford , colored janitor for the trust at Peoria , should bo brought before the grand jury without giving anyone connected with tno defense a chalice to coach him. This was done with valuable results to the prosecution. Ashford , it Is said , testified to having gone into the trust labora tory ono night nnd accidentally broken a bottle tle on n shelf. The contents ignited and Ashford was ao-iously burned In extinguish ing the llauics. This testimony and the evi dence that Gibson nurchased phosphorous is regarded by the government olllciuls ns tend ing heavily to fasten upon him the guilt of constructing the peculiar infernal machine said to have been designed to blow up the big anti-trust distillery.

A young nrtlst or some nullity , who possesses through the business qutiUflen- lions of a clcceuscil parent moro wealth thiin ho can over hope to ncqulro by moans of his profession , occupies a hand * some sulto of bachelor apartments in a house not far from Broadway , says the Now York Herald. Ho has a peculiar taste , which ho has taken ample pains to pratlfy , for hang ing and placing around his rooms about every horrible object a distorted Jap anese conception Is capable of inventing A sea serpent of alarming pro portions is collotl around a col umn at ono end of the studio , while horned toads , small snakes , fishes , tur tles , n queer looking object with the body of an animal about the size of a small dog and the head of an allgator , and numerous other nightmares are scat tered profuscdly about In prominent il aces. The young artist has an acquaintance , a broker , who , while an all-around good follow , drlnlcg to excess. Ho was very intimate with the artist , but had never tip to a few days ago visited the latter In his studio. The fore part of last week ho made the visit , while recovering from an extended sp'reo , and ho has hardly re covered from the effects of the visit up to the present time. The artist was engaged on a landscape when the door was opened and the broker entered , somewhat under the influence of liquor. Ho took a so-tt and , tolling Ills host to go ahead with his work , lit a cigar and for the llrst time looked around the room. Ills glance lit on the can delabra , where a huge yellow and brown snake was about to swallow a small green and red ono. The broker started and turned pale. Ho looked at the mantelpiece. There an undersized dragon gazed in awful anger at an exaggerated crab. The broker shifted in his heat and began to perspire. Ho trembled and dropped his cigar , and in stooping to rcco\cr the weed ho caught sight of a pin-plo and Van Dyck brown boa constrictor celled around an unused easel in a corner. That settled it. The broker leaped up , and in doing so attracted the atten tion of the artist , who had been paint ing in silence : * "W w w what's do you see any thing on the eaholV" ho tremulously in quired of the artist , at the same time pointing at the boa constrictor. "Yes , " replied the artist ; "a p'icturc. " The broker shook worse than ever. "Nothing else1 ? " "There is nothing else to see , " an swered the artist , who had perceived the eauso of the broker's fright and in a spirit of fun decided to prolong his misery , "except the wooden frame. You loolc sick. Anything the matterV" The broker failed to give any coherent answer. He uttered an inarticulate yell , grabood his hat and rushed out of the room and down the stairs , two stops at a time. The artist followed , but his cries only tended to inereafo the broker's speed. Ho learned after that the broker did not slacken his pace until ho entered the ofllco of a physician. Thn two men mot later in a cafe and the broker paid for the wine. Peace was patched up , hut the broker and artist are not quite so friendly now as they wore. . > Settinc Out an Orchard. Many people make a mistake when setting out an orchard by having iho trees too largo and by leaving on too much head. The younger the trco is , when .transplanted from the nursery row , the bettor chance it will have to live and llourish , provided only that it is old enough to have a good equipment of roots. Peach trees in particular should not bo more than ono year from the hud. Before planting trim the ends of all bruised or broken roots smooth with a sham knife. Then trim off all branches that have been made in the nursery and cut the stem square off at the height you wact to form the head , leaving the tree about the size of an ordinary walking-stick. When growth begins new buds will start out all along the stem , many of which , if loft alone , will form branches. These should all bo nibbed off as fast as they form , ex cept throe or four at the top , which should bo loft to form the future head. It is very easy to control the shape of a tree if proper attention is paid while it is young. An orchard otartod in this way , from ono year old trees , will soon overtake ono started with moro mature growths. While the latter are recover ing from the effect of transplanting the former will bo making new growth ricrht ' along. Mark Twain's Latent. In a Scotch-Irish village a baby had been born and a largo number of friends had collected to see it christened. The minister , thinking this a good opportu nity of displaying his oratorical powers , took the baby in ills arms , saying : "Ho is a little fellow yes , a little follow , and as I look in your faces I see an oxprcs- .slon of scorn which suggests that- you 'despise him. But if you had tno soul of a poet and the gift of prophecy you would not despise him. You would look far into the future and see what it might ho. Consider how small the acorn is from which grows the mighty oak. So thifl little child may bo a great poet and write tragedies , or a great statesman , or a future warrior wading in Eornaps ills nock ; ho may ho cr what is his name ? His name , oh , is Mary Ann. " OF 1NTKUEST TO THE FAHMKIt. An Instructive 1'npnr on Funding Cat tle \Ycstof the Missouri. Paper read by A. M. Allen of Ames Nob. , before the Nebraska Imm'ovod Stock Breeders association. I'A IIT I. I have taken this title "Feeding Cat tle West of the Missouri" for this paper partly because I have hail no oxperlonco in the feeding of cattle east of the Mis souri river , and partly because I bollovo that the average cllmatlo conditions in the country between the Missouri river and the Rockyjnountains indicate for us with tolerable plainness the most effec tive method of feeding cattle. I moan the extraordinary dryness of our fall and winter season. Possibly the same system of feeding is not bettor than any other In the states of Illinois , Missouri and Iowa. but as I have never fed cattle in any of those states I am not nblo to say , and what experience I have of tholr ollmato does not load mo to bollovo tfiat it is as dry as that of Nebraska. My own expe rience in cattle feodinir Is but of four years duration , and Is valuable only in proportion to tno volume of business wo p7T , HUGHES , Cash Commission Merchant.

Advuni'Oinn luti on track , ware- houioor nitoruul bauk ruloi. 1326 nnU liUI it'll Denver , Coloratlu , have boon obliged to do , and the fact that wo have tried and Are trying today on the same farm two methods of Feeding radically opposed to each other. 1 think the natural method of feeding cattle In Nebraska is the old stylo.hoglnnlng with car corn nnd following with whole corn with hogs to follow. This I bollovo will ho in the long run the safest and most satisfactory method of feeding. The most important point before all others in feeding cattle Is the selection of cattle themselves , and It is a point In which ono feeding on a modortua scale has a great advantage over any concern feedIng - Ing on a very largo scale. I am well satisfied that wo have fed thousands of cattle whoso limit of growth was practic ally reached long before wo stopped feed ing them , hut as they were mixed with others in nil the various degrees of qual ity , It was Impossible to avoid the loss. Wo fed last year , among other cattle , about 1'JOO yearling heifers from Wyom ing. Wo made them very flue and they were line cattle to look nt , on which ac count wo got considerable credit for thorn. Wo finally got as good price asI cents for a few of these , hut oven at the low price of corn there was abso lutely no profit In them. Besides these wo fed about 1,600 cows and I do not think these made a cent of money. The season was a reasonably prolllablo ono for us , but all the pro lit was made on about half the cattle , that Is good steers and the very best of cows. Care In selection is necessary with the native as well as western cattle ; and In fact , contrary to the general belief , the cattle ill-Wyoming Is a little bettor than the ( ( utility of the cattle in Nebraska and Iowa. In the case of cows the west ern cattle have very decieedly the ad vantage over the natives on tl'ie market and in fact all western cattle , both steers and cows , toll bettor than na tives of the same degree of fatness. In this I do not mean high grade or pure bred native cattle , for these of course sell at the highest price of all cattle. The work that is being none by the Wcbtorn resources and Breeders' Gazette in urging and promoting the breeding of pure hrcil and high grade animals is of the greatest value , and it is incredible to conceive how a prac tical fanner can persuade himself that ho can afford the luxury of having an imals of poor duality on his farm. Cattle of good quality being selected for feeding , the most important point Is attended to. Next , as to the arrange- mantof , feed lots. I think It is a very great error and mistake to con line ani mals in small yards or pens , with the idea that they will take too much exor cise and thereby keep down tholr llesh if fed in largo enclosures. After some very expensive lessons on this point wo now allow our cattle plenty of room , some'of them running in pastures of 150 acres. Following the idea of ono of the best feeders in the htalo , I now think the proper .ccd lot is a com Hold , which thp cattle will clean of stalks and which they will quite thoroughly manure dur ing the winter bcahon ; and.to make the manuring more effective linseed or cotton-bccd cake should bo fed with the corn. In our rough methods in the west wo arp not able to show very clearly the results of manuring in figures , hut this work has boon so well done oy Invostl- ifators and also bv practical farmers in England and the eastern states , that we are certainly justified In allowing for at least part of the value they claim for manure. If wo subtract the manure value from the cost of the cake wo are amply justified in using it as cattle food within proper limits , and by arranging HO that the cattle manure the Holds themselves , everything Is done at the least possible coat. Wo are now feeding outside cattle about twenty percent of the cotton-seed cake , in a total ration of 24 or 20 pounds. When corn gets up toward fifty cents , oil-cake and corn got very close together In price , and at such a tune 1 feel Inclined to feed oil-cako freely , but when corn is very cheap wo do not feed so much of it. The valuable point in allowing the cattle largo feed lots to run In is that they are able to find dry places to lie down on , and keep out of the mud. I notice too that cattle llko to got out of the feed lots wlipro their hay racks and boxes are , to Ho down in an open space. Frequently they may bo been in an open field exposed entirely to the wind , when an ordinary observer would suppose they would book shelter. I think wo do not appreciate how warm so largo an animal as an ox must bo when having all ho wants to cat. They are storms from which they should bo sheltered , but 1 think it moro important for them to bo able to lie down where it is dry. I do not mean , however , to undervalue shel ter , and wo provide abundant shelter in the way of hay racks or groves of trees to all our oulsido cattle. As cattle become fat they apparently wish to lie down nine-tenths of the time , and wo caii easily see how it must distress a fut and heavy animal to bo obliged to stand up , and how injurious it must bo for thorn to lie down in slush and nuui. When the range companies began to feed cattle , in the winter of ' 85 and ' 80 , several different plans of feeding were adopted , it being supposed that some short route or inside truck could bo found which would enable them to fat ten cattle at a less expense than others could. Three or four of these compan ies built feedyards of the old fashion and fed in the ordinary way ; but ono of them built a bai'ti where they fed corn meal , bran , oil cake nnd chopped hay , the whole being cooked together. I think they made some very good cattle though I never saw tliom. The manager of the company told mo that the shrinkage - ago In going to market was very great , bomctlmcs moro than 100 pounds. Another company fed at llrst a rather thin corn meal slop. In this feed the cattle got such an abnormal quantity of water that good results were not ob tained. After one hcason they aunnuon- ed this form of feeding and fed mixed grain and oil-cako with cut hay. While those concerns were feeding tholr first cattle and before their methods were tested , wo constructed a barn , hut have never fed in It anything but dry meal and hay. Cooking food has proved to bean an entire failure , and the theory is not supported by any practical sclontillo c.ittlo-fceder. In this climate it is not clear that the construction of barns on a very largo H-alo is judicious except in connection with some manufactory where a waste product is fed llko a distillery. Wo fed cattle three years in our barn , and last year wo did not use it at all. In the spring of ' 88 and In the spring of ' 80 wo whipped from It a great many excellent cattlo. They were exceedingly smooth and Violl fattened. Qur barn fed cattle liavo shown a very light shrinkage in go ing to market , as a general rule. Some times a largo number of thorn show a shrink not greater than from eight to ' thirteen pounds , nnd frequently who'll on the market on a good dav for getting a fill of water , they have shown a gain , although they were weighed up dl * rectly from the barn previous to ship , * menu In earlier years I was afraid V ? feed the cattle on a very light ration , - fearing that they would not make a suf * llclent gain and that hereby tlmb > J would bo lost which could not ho ro * / ref gained. In our last season of barn feed-/ Ing I made some experiment of feeding a rather light ration with some of thu cattle , and this year wo tire applying this rule to the whole barn full of 3,000 head. They are now getting only ton pounds of L'raln and fourteen pounus of hay per day , or a total ration of about twenty-four pounds. The hay Is good and they will not cat moro than this , and are not allowed to have more than ton pounds of grain. Our cattle fed out side are now getting twenty-four to twenty-six pounds of grain , herded hay. [ CXNTlNtJiU : Ni\T : WT.KK. ] Tnko Off iliu TastpN. Experiments made last year at the Cornell agricultural station on a field oJ corn , prove that if the tinsuls on the corn are removed before they produed pollen , a larger amount of grain Is the result. The cornfield upon which the experiment was made consisted of forty * eight rows with forty-two hills to the row. Before the polli-n fell , the labels , us soon as they appeared were removed from the alternate row * , while the re maining rows were loft to grow natur- nlly.The The operation of removing the tassels was repented three tunes during the sea-son. When the corn was cut , the W Hult" were truly astonishing. it was found that the number of good ears , and the actual weight of Miluhlo corn was a little over 60 per cent moro upon these rows upon which Iho tnssols had been removed. Not only was this the ease fpr the whole field , hut for Individual rows as well In addition to this the number of abortive ears or "nubbins , " as they are called , were nearly one-third smaller on the rows having no tabsols. The ground upon which this experiment was made was dry , gravelly and fairly fertile. CITIZENS STATE BANK Of Council Bluffs.
