Mr Batns landed In Cass county tsvonty-four yours ngn with n loam , wagon , mid a few dollar * , sulllciont to go to house keeping. Air. Bates sav ; Yes , 1 have boon falrh1 successful , considering that 1 had nothlr.g to bogln with. 1 wont In debt for my first 100 noros , paid It nnd Improved the farm nlroly at the snmo llmo. As tlmo wont along I bought moro land unlit now 1 own 120 ncics , 400 of which lies In Avoca precinct , two and one-half miles south of Nohn.vkn. I have n fair liouso , coed barn nnd six acres ot orchard. There are forty ncros of tnmo grass on the plnco and I food from ono to two and one-half cars of cattle year , and sell plenty ot grain besides. 1 huvo twenty net es ot land liorj In totvn , somn business property. In nil about W.OOO worth of town property. I have madu money oviiry year and made It nil out of the farm. I think others could do ns well or bailer , by pracllc- \ng \ proper economy und Industry. Could Nut ( ipt Away. Lawson Sheldon , the father of Nchiuvkn , came to Cass county In Ib5i ( , In company with his brothniMn-hnv , Isaao Pollnrd. They were nmong the llrst whlto men In the coun try. Mr. Sheldon , who , by the way. wns somewhat reluctant to talk nbout his own affairs , said that ho and Pollard came to Wonping Water creek to build ti sawmill and did so , but soon Platlsmouth ou ono sidunud Nebraska City ou the other loft thorn nbout sixteen mlles from nowhcic , with n sawmill on tholr hands. Ho had n llttlo money when ho cimo : to Cuss , "but , " said he , " It was not long until 1 would have been glad to get nway with as much money us I brought , but I could not. I pro-omptod UiO acres and built n log bouse , and kept on acquiring land until 1 now have 8,000"acres. I soon built the liouso I now live In nnd myself and wlfo have camped right un this sumo spot nil these years. 1 never had any luck nnd wo have dug what wo huvo out of the ground by hard knocks. Tux us are a bunion wo cannot o ; capo , and I huvo just p.iid $1,000 taxes this week nud am not donoyot. But I novel1 had " nny mortgages lo lift , "l bought my land all the way from i3 to $20 per aero and some for $ .10. I rout most of my laud at two-llfths grain runt. I do not buy slock catlld lo food but ralso them myself. I am oxcius.voly n producer. Last year I fed some cattle but sold 7,000 or 8UOO bushels of corn ut f > 0 cents per hushol. 1 curry about 10J cattle all the llmo , but unless things change for the bettor will cut the number down. I never had nny good luck but have always raised good crops nnd maiingo lo mnko n llvlnir. " Mr. Sheldon has boon a prominent man in his part of the state ovur stnco ho llrst sot foot on Nebraska .soil. IIj has boon ranant- odlysont to the legislature , and made his presence felt every lime. Hi1 was ono of the leading character- Iho impediment ol David Butler , was ona of the mon who walked out of Oninha to Florence wlrh the legislative branch of the state government in their hats nnd assisted in bringing nbout the removal of the capitol from Oniuba to Llu- coln und according lo Ins own words , spoken in jest , "that is enough to damn anybody politically.1' Ho has now taken the contract , to build up Nohawka , which is only four oars old , and with the richest portion of Cas - ? - " ' " to back him , there is no doubt but ho will succeed , as rofcrouoo to the Ne- hawka sketch in thu article would indicate. Owes Nothing Now. Mr. P. Williams owns 540 acres and farms it six miles southeast of Louisville , Ho came to Cass county in 1S7J with some IIIOMOV in his inside pocket nnd bought his llrst land at 510 an acre. Later on ho bought three euhtles foriUuud ! ! ) another 140 acres ntMO an acre. The homestead consisls of a half section , all in cultivatiou and welt im proved lu all respoats. When asked as to bis management of the farm Mr. Williams replied : Well , I raise flouty of corn nnd feed cattle and hogs. I shipped this season 240 head of hogs of mv own feeding , 140 of them averaging 3'W nouuds , and sold for $4.0J In Oninha. The next lilU nead averaged 250 and sold for jt.30 In Omaha , My observa tion has bon thai a farmer who raises grain , feeds a few hogs and soils the balance of his grain makes moro money than feeders of cat tle. The farmers of Cass countv make money ovorv year. Manv of thorn have money ; In the banks. I consider this as good a farming country as there is in the world. I had to go in ilobt at times but [ owe nothing now , although 1 have lost considerable money buy ing and shipping stock. Aiulrow Sturm. AmiroKr Sturm Is ono of the old settlers of Cnss county. Ho came in 1S57 , with nothing in the way of money capilal and pro-ompted 1U ( acres of land one nnd a half miles woit of Nehawka. He owns a .squaro section now , well Improved and well stocked , and ho made it , ovury dollar , on the farm. Ho feeds llio cattle raised on > ho place , and soils Uu > bal- once of his grain. IJv this process ho has becouio a wealthy man. His son , A. F. Sturm , does an extensive grain , lumoer nnd coal business at Nohawka. Mr. Sturm , jr. , snvs the grain business is not what some might think it was in so good an figiicultural district , owing lo the fact that most of the craln u fed to stock. Ho remarked that grass is growing arouna elevators now that n few years ago did a big business. Tiiticlit Sellout and ISrokii 1'r.ilrln. County .ludgo B. S. Ilimsoy of Plaits- mouth came from Iowa to Cass county twenty years ago , nnd bought eighty acru- . of raw land twelve miles wofat of Platlsmouth forS.100. Ho bsgan with little or nothing ex cept his native onorgy. Said ho , "I taught school during school hours and broke prairie mornings and ovcningb until I had the eighty broke out. There was not n sign of n tree in sight , so I planted n largo grove of walnut trees and an orch'ird. I built a small , uboap house out of cottunwooj lumber and rented the farm out for § .J > 0 a year , cash rent , until three years airo when I sold it for ? J5 an aero. I now own 10J ncros near Platts mouth. Thorn Is no doubt but Nebraska farmers are prosperous , making money easily If not rapidly , though I hive had n limited porional experience as a farmer.

In speaking of farm mutters In u general way ho said ; "If a farmer works and saves what he makoi , ttioro Is always u good living on a farm. I have my hind nil in cultivation , have throe aotos of orchard , which boars well. I do not feed stock to any extent , but ralso grain for sale. My corn was light last year , but I got 2fiJO bushels from eighty acres ; eight acres of oali went forty bushels per auro. Never lost nny hoxs with cholora.
