There.
Hurt county was organized In 1831 nml
named in honor of lion. Francis Hurt , Ne
braska's ' first Kovornor. The total amount of
lax levied In 13"i was $91.04 , the rate being 7
mills on $111,00(1. ( It U ono of the river coun
ties , Is bounded on the south by WashlnRton
nnd Uodgo counties , on the west by Cumin ? ,
end on the north by ThUMton. It contains
D12 square mites , J'.iT.OOa ncrcs. Acoordlnc to
the 1851) census the population at that tlmo
was 0,0i7 , : , mid In 13'JO was 11,009 , showing an
Incruuso of 4,1W ! , or f 'J.f ' > ! ! per coot. AccordIng -
Ing to the latest assessors' returns there uro
In the county lfi."i , I.1S acres of Improved lands ,
exclusive of vlllnfru nnd city lots , nnd of un
improved land * , Ul.UJt acres. The assessed
valuation for I Mil was $1,870,1120 , and tbo net-
uul vnluu'lontH.-'UJ.UDO. The next report of
the auditor will show n luri-o gain In Im
proved ncro.iso. The totnl assessed valuation
lor lbH ! was f > , U2'.lK ( } . < ! liliidlcatlnc nn actual
vnluutlon of SIJi.UAVJ'.ij. ' In IS'.U the assessors
rolurnod 4t,05S : cattle , 817 mules , 011(1 (
Blicun. ! ) , ID ! hogs nnd Ui23 : horses. In
Ib'JO"thcro ' were raised In the county
7,08-1 acres of wheat , Tfi.iiOri acres of corn ,
13 , 70 ncros of o.its , ; l acres of barley , -101
ncrcs of Max , 2iU ! ncroa of rye , II11 acres of
millet nnd ni7 [ ; ! acres of meadow. The soil
Is exceedingly fertile and admirably adapted
to thu production of n variety of crops , grain ,
grass , fruit and vegetables. Well culti
vated Holds of corn often yield 00 to 100
bushels to the acre , nnd In ordinary seasons
the farmer who iloos not Anther llfty to sixty
bushels per aero thinks no tins n Unlit cron.
Hurt Is n great stock county owing to tlio
abundance of hay and grain raised , nnd lus
a lurfjo number of blfj farm and ranch own
ers who feed lariro herds annually , while a
urcat majority of small farmers feed stock
enough to consume the grain they raUo.
Owing to close proximity to market , speculative
lative- shippers of stock nro unknown In
liurt county , every farmer nnd feeder mar
keting his own products direct. The Chl-
cagc , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha rail-
roud runs diagonally through the county
from the southeast to northwest , giving the
county aDout fortv-tlvo mlles of road , on
which is located Teliamah , the county scat ,
with a copulation of 2,01)0 ) , Grig , SOU ; Oak
land , bUO ; Lyons and JJucatur , each , 500.
Although the line of railroad mentioned is
the main line of the Chicago ,
St. i'aul , Minneapolis & Omaha ,
nnd traverses the county in such n way as to
provide convenient depots , It is virtually
inado a branch , Uocau.su of a diversion of all
through trafllo to the bioux City & PaciUo
on the lowu side of the river.
I.inv Price of I/inil.
There is no county In the state where land
can bo bought so near to market with so lit
tle money as in IJurt. Tuo real reason Is that
oulv ono railroad laps the country , and on
that , no through tralHc , either passenger or
freight is handled , on tnat lino. Homo seek
ers usually travel 01 : well known main lines
of road mid never think of stopping so near
Omaha for cheap lands , nnd yet there are
thousands of acres of good unimproved lands
in Hurt county that can bo bought for $10 to
C20 per acre , surrounded by highly improved
farms which hnvo made their owners rich.
Bosttlos proximity to a market , equally as
favorable to the Nebraska farmer as Chicago
is to the Illinois agriculturalist , Burt county
has an nbundni'co ' of timber and water.
Four-foot cord wood soils in Tokamah for
$3 to fl.50 ; pnr cord. Last year there was
shipped from Tokaman nlono 100 cars of
bay , most ol it going to Omaha.
Dl-ptll of Soil.
Thcro are thren kinds of soil In Burt
county , known as bottom , bench and ridpa
land. Tolcamah stands on the bench land
now six miles west of the river , but formerly
onlv throe , the river having receded. An idea
of the depth of the soil may be gained by the
fact that In digging wells cotton wood logs
liavo boon discovered twenty foot below the
surface , nnd dirt drawn from the bottom of
wells has produced corn stalks ten fuel high.
Tlio bench lands uro about thlrteot foctabovo
the level of the river. There uro Holds on
this bench land that have been planted in
corn for thirty consocutlvo years , and in no
year yielded loss than sixty-tlvo uushels per
ucro. These facts have boon gleaned by per
sonal Interviews with farmers on the streets
end at their homes , which is the only way to
pet rolinblo In formation with regard to farm
natters , following Is the testimony of
farmers from diftorent parts of tha county :
Lost Ills Improvements.
II. S. Spielnmn is ono of tlio most success
ful old-timers of Burt county. Ho says : " 1
caino to Hurt county from Pennsylvania ,
18.r > 7 , and pro-emptod a quarter section in
Section eleven , town twenty-ono Arizona
precinct , the following year. To nay for it 1
hired a government warrant , issued in favor
ot Lucy Turner , whose husband was killed
in the warof 131:2 : , for the use of which I waste
to pay -I ! ) per cent for ono year making , in-
torcsl and nil , f''SO. During the year I built
n storv nnd a half log liouso , 14x18 , and
ntablo and oroko twclvo acres. I was unable
to meet the payment and three forties In
cluding my Improvements were forfeitod.
That loft u raw forty on which I live today.
"When I landed hero I had $10 in money and
there was ubotitfiO charges on some bedding -
ding which 1 bhlppod through , so you too 1
was over S'J worse oft than nothing and I
only handled Si in money during the year of
18. > 3. Next mouth it will bo thirty years
since I sotllcd on that forty. I now own
1.140 acres of ns good farm land tv > lays out
of doors , all In Burt county. The 'lowest
prlco 1 paid for laud was $15 per aero and
from that up to $10. I have bought a picco
nt a time along us I could roach it. I have
nine acres of orchard altogether. I feed
from sovonty-llvo to l , " > u head of cattle every
year nnd sell no grain except wheat. 1 In1-
liovo Inck of success in farming is owing to
lack of energy and bad management. Last
year my corn went from forty to s > ixty
bushels per acre well worked Holds the lat
ter llguro. "
Mr. Splolman'B appearance does not Indi
cate that ho has put in all these years of toll.
Ho laughed heartily while describing his
first outfit of furniture to your correspond
ent , ijnld he : "I made mv tlrst wash tub
from n log about four feet long , which 1
Kb u pod into a t > ort of trough with a foot adz ,
leaving the sides 1)4 ) inches thick. My
chairs I mndo out of pieces of plank with
tiolos bored and legs driven in and the tablu
was made of boards , but wo enjoyed the
Btnols after a hard day's work and rollshod
the victuals placed on the rough table. "
raid til ) Ifor Cunt.
Mr. II. C. Lydlck , residing in Arizona pro
duct , Is ono of the largest nnd most success
ful farmers in Hurt county. Ho cntno hero
Jnuo 1 , 1S. > 7 , and bought bis Initial farm of
100 acres at the first inna sulo held in ( Jumna
for ? , ' > per acre and paid IK ) per cent of the
money. In speaking of It to the writer , ho
aid : "I have never had the benefit ot a pre
emption , homestead or timber claim , but ) mvo
bought my land at different times and at
various prices. I could not toll lust how
many acres I have without consulting the
records , but something over 2,000. I have
mauo u all farming and feeding stock , nnd
wlnlu I do not think conditions are now quite
as favorable for farmers with out means at
they were a few years ago. yet tboro 1s no
need of industrious , economical farmer * mak
ing a failure. In all tbo years I have been In
Nebraska there has never bimi a failure In
crops in this section ot the stuto. Ono thing
very much in our favor now that wo did not
bttvo a few years ago is the Omaha stock
market. I linu it ahead of the Chicago mar
ket. I bavo been qulto successful In feeding
lies and have fed cuttle for the past eigh
teen ynars. I feed 150 to 200 head ovary your
nnd am an equal partner in the linn
of Lydlck it Duulop , which feeds OG
to 400 head a year. My corn last
year averaged forty to llfty biuliols per aero.
I planted between 700 and 600 apple trees
clxtoen years ago , and they have ilono well.
I would advUo formers to buy native nursery
took , as it U a mistake to got trees not suited
to the cllmat'i. " Mr. Lydlck has just re
turned from a month's visit to friends and
relatives In Illinois , Indiana and Ohio , and
nltliouirh he 1s u modest man , not given to ex
aggeration , yet ho sayi the poonlo who once
bad confluence in him seemed to look with
sutplcion on BOIUO of tbo stories told them
about farm life in Nebraska , but ho thinks if
Lho.v road Tun DEB and see the corrobora-
tlons of his story they may yet bo convinced.
Now n It.tnhor.
.t. P. Latta , now a banker nt Tckamah ,
came Irom eastern Iowa to Hurt county
twonty-nlno years ago , landing hero with
? l,10-a $1 Imnk note nnd n dlmo In silver.
Ho now owns 3,000 acres of land , all in Hurt
county , besides a trroat deal ot other prop
erty. When nskod how ho got stnrto.1 ho re
plied : "Well , I hardly know. I am often
tiskud that question , but I wonted around n
while nnd saved a llltlo money with which 1
bought forty-acres ot government land In
ISM , broke part of it the snmo vear , and the
year following raised a crop on It. The same
ycnrdSGb ) 1 bought 120 nere. ' . adjoining nnd
built n llttlo house. I bought but little
moro land until ISiO , In which year
I started the Hurt County bank
and run it until IbUO , when I
changed It to the First National. Of late
years I have put most of my tlmo In nt the
bank , but havu farmed and raised stock ex
tensively every year , I kcop about flvo
hundred ho.id of cattle all tbo tlmo and this
year nm feeding 200 head. The Omaha mar
ket has been n great boon for farm era nnd
small feeder : ! , ns It enables them to market
their stock direct Instead of selling to specu
lators , ns they had to do when Chicago was
our markot. Most all my farms nro well Im
proved. 1 have nn l.SUU-ncro farm between
ToKamah nnd Uecatur which is probably the
best improved farm in the county. The
buildings are good and I have nn orchard of
! ! 00 trees nnd plenty of small fruit of nil
kindM. I hnvo 100 ncrai ot clover and will
now tlfty acres moro each year until most of
Ills seeded down. It doss llrst rate is a
complete success. Corn , the pros cut season ,
averaged forty-llvo bushels nnd oats forty.
I buy about fifteen thousand bushels ot corn
every year used to buy moro. 1 think that
any man who will manage right can mnlto
money farming In this country , and it ho can
not there is no country under the sun where
tie can. The class of farmers who do not
make it pay nro these who stand around on
'
the street'corners airing their grievances
while their cattle and otuor stock goas hun
gry or dry nt home.
Peter Cameron began farming operations
in Hurt county only ton years ugo under cir
cumstances dlflcrcnt fiom many quoted In
these columns. The fact Is ho had about
$12,000 to begin with , which ho brought with
him from Wisconsin , where ho lived and fol
lowed firming prior to coming to Nebraska.
Mr. Cnmeron says : "I llrst bought a half-
section ot choice Impiovod hind , probably as
good as the county afforded at that time , for
$ ; . " > per acre. In 1S3S I bought 100 ncros of
bottom land for $1,100 nnd last spring -100
moro , for which I paid $15 an acre for 240
ncrcs and $13 for" the other 1TJ ( acres. The
400 acres , of course , was raw or pasture
land. Last September I bnusht forty acres
for $ ir > 0 cash. At llrst I sold some grain and
fed snma stock , but of Into > oars I feed moro
grain than 1 raise. This year myself nnd sou
nro feeding ISO head of stocic. Hopj nro
very profitable If it were not for cholera ,
but sometimes wo loio them all , or nearly nil.
My corn last season averaged about forty-
live bushels per aero , some of it goiug as
high as sixty. The yiuld was not very good ,
owing partly to poor seed. Barley made
thirty-live bushels per acre and oats forty. I
have 35U apple trees , most of thorn just be
ginning to boar , and will plant moro this
spring. I thitik Dun and other counties in
this part of the state are as good for farming
purposes as I over saw In any country. 1
have done well farming hero nnd" see
no reason why I cannot continue to
do well.ou nsic mo it I have
any kick to imko with regard to
conditions under which formers are oparnt-
ing in this country. I will bay that the great
est objection I have to offer s that in my
opinion farmers as a class are discriminated
against to some extant by the protective
tariff. Thcro is ono part of my fanning operations -
orations that 1 am proud of and that is that
myself nnd { . A. Tcmploton are the pioneer
clover raisers of this section and wo have
both made a. success of it. Clover will grow
hero equal to Ohio. Illinois or any other .stato
east of us. I have 10J acres seeded now and
will sow twenty-live moro this spring. Last
year I had sovonty-llvo bushels of seed nnd
this year sixty-four bushels which 1 sold to
neighbors at § ( to $0.30 per bushel. Yes ,
farming pays very well , I" cut considerable
of my clover seed in my hog lot.
W. W. I.iitta.
W.V. . L/Uta is ono of the old timers , set
tling in Hurt county in 1857. Ho now lives
in Tokamah In an elegant homo with thirty-
live across of door yard. Ho is the owner of
a largo amount ot property In the city , and is
largely interested in the bank. Ho is ono of
the men who made his money exclusively by
farming and stock raising and bo-ran at the
bottom. By the request of the writer ho
took the witness stand and deposed as fol
lows : I came hero in lS57with a few dollars
In money and a lot of truck that , all told ,
would probably have invoiced $ OJO. I never
took advantage of bomustoud , tico claim or
pre-emption privileges , but bought my first
i09 acres and wont to raising hogs and butch
ering them nnd hauling the carcasses to
Omuha. 1 followed that business for several
years and bundled hundreJs of them , and
usually bought another piece of land every
time I came back fron market , so as to take
euro of the proceeds. I kept on buying land
in small tracts at different , times and various
prices until I now have 4,100 acres , all either
under cultivation or fenced for nasture. I
gradually drifted Into raising corn and feed
ing cattle. Have fed ns high as ( iOO or 700
head a year. I line horses and have dealt
pretty Inrgclv in that Kind of stock. I have
on hand at this tlmo 13 , ! head of horses nnd
six mules. Mv stock is Porchoron. but lately
my son went to Kentucky and
brought homo some blooded trottors.
I used to raise a creat deal of
wheat , but when the price pot below$1 I quit
it. Wbe.it used to do well hero , but is not so
profitable now. I have not been a very ex-
iraypgnnt improver of land , but hnvo good
buildings on several farms , with plenty of
orchard and small fruits , which grow and
boar well hero without trouble. This is ns
good a farming country as there is lu the
world , and any man , whether ho has moans to
bocin with or not , who will work nnd manage
well and bo content to live economically nt
llrat , can muko money farming in Hurt
county. With the exception of ono year ,
when the grasshoppers toolc our whout , 1
have never experienced n failure of crops.
For n small payment any homosccicr can no-
quire land hoio for from $100 ! per ncro. and
have the advantage of tno Omaha llvn stock
market at his door ; so I consider it an excel
lent place to start. I had nlont.vof corn last
fall that went slxty-flvo bushels per ocro.and
thcro was about 20,000 bushels raised on my
land , bat I bought a great deal of It besides.
The farmer who does not succeed hero , as a
rule , has himself to blumo.
Siimui-l Mc.Mullin.
Samuel McMullln owns a farm of 110 acres'
in Ari/.ona product nnd eighty ncros In
Tokamah. Ilosay : " 1 came to this coun
try In ISO ) , took a homestead llrst and bought
nftcrward. 1 had a little money , about f-'Ot ) .
1 paid $ Ul.tli'i ! ! } an aero for part ot my land ,
and four years neo I paid $ ' .r > an ucrn for the
eighty in Toknmah precinct. It was wild
land ; no Improvements , 1 have good buildIngs -
Ings and orchards on both places. Iliad 120
acres of corn this year that averaged about
sixty bushels an aero ; thlrty-livo ncros of
small praln , twelve of which was wheat that
went twenty bushels per ncro ; live ncros
of oas , llfty-ono bushels an aero , and the
balance llfty bushels. I feed some stock and
sell homo grain. I have never made it pay
to food stock on a small ncalo. 1 think to
make feeding pay n man should have onougn
to amount to something. Yes , I raise fruit
of all kinds , and It does well. ( J rapes boar
wonderfully. 1 have never seen a failure of
crops , and you can toy that I think any man ,
whether ho has capital or not , can make
money farming if ho conducts U properly ,
The worst drawback wo have is the high
rates charged by the railroads. There are
plenty men hero who drlvo feeder * from
Omaha rather than pav the freight , but you
know those who are farther from market
cannot do that , and are compelled to pay ex
orbitant freight charges.
Mndo It I'liriiiliitr.
John H. Shorto ! of Arizona precinct came
to Burt county in June. 1657 , with a horse
team , which was considered a big start In
the world in these days. Ho pre-empted his
Jlr t 100 ceres by hirlug a warrant at10 per
cent , and was lucky enough to soil n forty ai
f5 nn aero to pay It with. Ho has Improved
mid sold several farms and still owns -1'Xt '
ncros , well improved. Ho built a house in
Tolutnah costing M,200 , but lost by it. How
ever , ho has sold over $ . ' ,000 worth otT his
farm this season ever and ubovo his living ,
and thinks ho would have doubled it had ho
ted his cattle , but ho sold them bccauso ho
could not got the corn to feed. Mr. tihortol
has boon unfortunate , has met with many
lassos , but in spite of it all is a rich man to
day , and made it farming.

the oiu'ouragln ; art vice j from abroad were
supplemented by buying orders from Lon
don nml the continent uud traders were
forced to cover liberally In the early dcal-
liH'i. The advance , honevor , met with a
spirited rcsUtunco from the bear element
and thu early trading wus not extremely
active , with some decline from the opening
prices. The covering of shorts , with the bny-
) ng for ' .ho long nccount , HtlimilMeil by the
uncourujlng outlook , forced prices up. though
no rapid rise was seen , The news of the re
fusal of the governor of Now Jersey to sign

buying , though us usual of lalo there was u
