Custor county forms the centornleco of the
jUto. Tnlso n mnp of Nebraska , fold It in
quarto form mid you will llnd that Urokon
How , the county neat , Is about seven miles
west of tlio contcr point. It was organized
fiom original torritorv In 1377. In orcm It Is
18 mlles from north to south , 51 tnllos from
east to west , containing 2,5'Ji aqunro mlles or
lWi8,8SO acres. It Is as largo as four com
mon counties , with nluo townships to spare.
Soli nnil Cllmuto ,
The soil Is deep and rlcti , being "mado
land , " the wuolo country bearing unralstnu-
nblo ovldonco that It was at ono time sub
merged. The valleys are composed of allu
vial UopoMts , the parks and tublj Innda of
cnlcnrcoiillclouB marl. There Is not a &tono
orpobblo as largo as a quail's egg In the
county. Wherever sand appears in the vnl-
lova Its source may bo traced to the oluffs
nbovo , but ttio rnlns of centuries have failed
to uncover u single pobblo. The surface is
n rich , black loam , with a subsoil of yellow
ish gray , reaching down to tbo level
of the Platte , at which point water It
reached. This means from 300 to 500 foot
below the surface of the table lands. Tlioso
table lands are oven more rich and produc
tive than iho valloys. the only drawback
home the lack of running water , which must
bo obtained from deep wolls. Within tbo
past four years , tnnnks to modern well benne
machines and windmill pumps , these broad
and beautiful stretches of tublo land have
been concerted intofarms as oustlv tilled and
ut productive as any in the world. In the
.valleys water is obtained at a depth of from
llftcon to twenty feet , the bed of the river
being the base of supplies. There are no
such things known in Custor county as bogs ,
ranrshos or awnmps , every fee > boinu tillable
land except the bluffs cinl intersecting canyons
yens , which form tbo host of hay and pas
ture lands. The entire state of Nebraska U
noted for the spongoliko nature of Its subsoil ,
which nOiorbi moisture readily and bolus It
in reserve to bo jiiven up In ary periods , but
in no portion of the stnto is this feature so
noticeable an In tbo central portion. The
great depth of tbo boll , extending down
to the level of the water courses , constitutes
a subterranean reservoir of inexhaustible ca
pacity. Tills feature was clunrly demon
strated in IS'.K ) when no rain fell after the
mouth of April , and vet the wheat crop
nourished Irom this subterranean reservoir ,
mudo from ton to twonty-llvo bushels per
acre. Corn would ! .lso bavo made u fair crop ,
as provt-n in sheltered localities , had it not
been struclc with hot winds , which withered
nil crowing crops in n few hours.
The climate Is a happy moan between the
long cold winters of the moro northern states
nnd the burning suns of these on the south.
There are no storms , cyclones or Hoods and
there are moro days of sunshine In n year
than in any portion of the country. The
streams are wide nnd never overflow , always
carrying about the same amount of watcr.no
matter whether in dry or wet season. Thir
ty years ago Custer county and all that part
of Nebraska was popularly supposed to bo
outsldo the limits of farm vegetation , but the
ruinfall now extends far beyond the western
border of the state. In the thirteen years of
farming experience in Custor county , but
ono failure nr even partial failure has oc
curred , which is a bettor record than Iowa ,
Illinois or any otbor of the great agricultural
states can show. Hcforonco to the sub
joined testimony of farmers will show that
fora period of years a high average yield of
eraiu has boon secured , even including
the year 1800 , which has been hcraldoa as a
failure in public print , through the mistaken
policy uf public ofllclals asking congress to
donate $1,000,000 to noon the people of Ne
braska from starving when in reality there
were but few families in the entire state who
wore destitute , and they needed only tem
porary assistance which the state of Nobras-
Ua was amply able to furnish. There is not
a moro pioducllvo spot within Undo Sam's
domains than Custor county , nor an agricul
tural community whnro crops of all kinds can
be raised with so little labor or expense.
The altltuda.of Custor county ranges from
2,51)0 ) in the valleys , to 3,000. feet on the
tables nbovo sea lovol. The nlr is ary and
light. Malarial diseases are unknown and
all pulmonary or lung troubloj quickly van
ish in the pure air of this remarkably
healthy region.
PrmltirU.
All products of tbo farm and gard.m in
digenous to tomporatu climate1) are grown to
perfection in Custor county. Corn , as shown
below , by the loading farmers of the county ,
averages about -10 bushels per nero , ono voar
with another. In small grain , especially
wheat and oats , the climate and soli show
superior qualities. Knormous yields uro
herewith recorded , from the bast of sources ,
with naino and postonlco address of parties
making the statement. These nre. not merely
isolated or exceptional yields , as the high
average for n term of years will prove. The
farmers of Cuiter county uro especially en
thusiastic over their BUOUOSS in wheat rais
ing and the testimony of the
millers shows that the grain makes
u Hour , which In quality is equal to or even
superior to the famous Minnesota whbat
Hour. For vegetables , Cuitor county cannot
bo boaton. With hut llttla cultivation all
kinos ot vegetables mnlto large yields mid
never fail , and with careful Ullage iho yield
is beyond the belief of eastern men who
liavo novnr visited till * portioa of Nebraska.
' 1 bo fact that Custer has tvon the llrst prem
ium for tbroo yours In succession , offered by
the slate agricultural Honlulv. for the best
county exhibit at the state fair , thus secur
ing the grand gold modal , Is the best ovl
donco In support of these statements. Even
in 1800. the short orou year , Custer county
carried off the capital prize at tbo fair and is
now debarred from competing for a term of
throe years under the rules of the associa
tion. Hall nounty Is the only other county
In the etato that has won iho gold modal.

The general topography of Custor county
differs essentially from all other counties In
ttio state , Almost the ontlro county Is a mo-
cession of valleys aloug the streams , bounded
by abrupt bluffs Intersected with deep and
narrow canyons , beyond which rugged
fringe and on n level with the tops ot the
bluffs , stretches away us far as the eye. can
reach , the luvel table lands dotted with farm
houses and the inovltaolo windmills with.
Which uvtiry fur.n is supplied. Intermediate
In elevation , between tublo und valley , are
tlie level plntuaus called forks , forrtod oy
depressions In the hills , surrounded
by low bluffs which divldo the
forks Irom the tublo land on
ono hand and tbo valleys on tno other. Bomo
ol t'ueso fonts are small and some of thorn
thousands of acres in oxtont. always boautl-
ful and extremely fertile. Woods fork ami
Huntings fork , in the northeastern part of
tbo county , nio i.otod examples. Tnoy are
Illicitly settled and highly cultivated tracts ,
perfectly level , though thoroughly drained
mid very productive. Considerable good-
uaturod strife exists between farmers on the
table , in the valleys and the forks , uauu
claiming superiority ever the other from a
grain nnd a took ratting standpoint. The
table farmers inuko ono Just claim , however ,
and thai Is that they nra exempt from frost
for two to throoe wuuHs later in the fall than
inolr valley neighbors , Some nonious of the
valley bnvo ijioro or le s sand , whllo the
tables and forks bavo none , another point

so from tl'o fact that the hills ore formed of
the same kind of ell from npoic to biso ,
There is very little land In Custor county
that con properly bo described m rolling
I.rnlrlo. The South Loup and Middle Lonp
rivers are the principal streams. The latter
flows dlntronaiiy aunm tbo northeastern
corner of the county nnd the former across
the southwestern corner. Intermediate be-
twonn the Uvo pnr.clpal stroiras are Clear
crook , Lillian crook , Wagoner crcnk ,
Victoria crook , Muddy creek and other
smaller streams , all forming beautiful
valloys. It was thoio tp.irkltng streams
With their rich pastures , shady nooks nnd
sheltering hliU , natural grazing grounds for
countless * herds ot cattle , that caused the
Ollv6 brothers and their men to commit
murder in order to keep out the settler nnd
retain possession for tholr herds , But the
inevitable uamo , and today the seontu of
former violence are transformed into peace
ful and prosperous homos.

Considering the slzo of the county , the
railroads are tnoagorly represented , there
being only olghty-flvo miles in operation.
The main line of the B. & M. runs through
tbo county diagonally from southeast to
northwest , a distance' fifty-nine mites ,
and the Kearney & Black Utlls road cm tori
the southwest portion of the county terminat
ing at Callaway , twenty-nine miles from the

Sargont Into Olalno county , llfty-four mlles

North Loup valley to a connection with the

uro of crops placed Iti completion still far

that the iron will bo laid as far as the bed is

Broken Bow , the county seat nnd principal
city , Is in the oxuct center of the county and
has u population of 2,000. The llrst settle
ment , where the county seat now stand ! . ,
was made in 1873. Wilson Howltt , who still
resides there , was the first actual settler ,
and It was ho who petitioned tor a
postonlco nnd pnva the city its
odd name. The first petition sent in was
granted , but the name suggested was similar
to that of another in the state and was re
jected. Mr.1 Hewitt , In Iho meantime , had
stumbled on a deserted Indian camp with
many articles scattered about , among them
a buffalo bow and arrows. The bow was
broken and suggested to hiirrtho nnmo of the
now postonlco , which was accepted nnd the
petitioner complimented on the choice. Tbo
oroken bow was afterwards used for kindling
by a servant girl , who in her Ignormico de
stroyed a valuable relic.

Amlrtm' Homnior.
Mr. Sommer settled on 100 acres adjoining
Morna twelve years ago , and has always had
good crops oxceut in 1890. Ho had only a
team to start with , but never had n mort
gage on his place and has increased It to 320
acres. Ho has flfty cattle , seven horses and
sorao hops. Last year ho raised eighty
acres of corn that went forty bubhels po'r
aero ; eighteen acres of wheat , thirty-fivo
bushels , and tbo oats averaged fprty-flvo
bushels. Thinks It takes loss work to raise
a crop bora than any pluco ho over saw.

of farmers who never fall to rnlso big crops.
Among them U ! { . D. McCartney , who farms
a half section. Last year ho had 190 acres of
wheat that nveragoil twenty bushels per
acre , and his corn averaged fifty bushels.
Ho keeps blooded horses , has a line residence
neatly kept grounds and everything about his
place exhibits both wealth and tasto. Ho is

"The Oldest Inhabitant. "
J. J. Joynor , a neighbor of Nick Jaquot ,
was tbo llrst actual settler in Ortollo valley.
Ho drove into the valley In 1880 with a yono
of oxen aud nothing olso. At that tlmo
there were thioo or lour families at , Moron ,
seven miles east , and all supplies carne from
Grand Ibland and Kearney. There was not
oven a bush in sight , and not oven a drink
of water nearer than Morna. Mr. Joynor re
marked Jovially that all ho could got done
at tirst was to drlvo to Mornn , got a load of
water and coma back and let the oxen drink
It and then start back.for another load. IIo
hauled water for six months , nnd then bored
a well 120 foot deep. Ho has a half section
well Improved , and as pretty and fcrtllo as
tbo world affords. Mr. Joynor does not ties-
itato to bay that a man could coma there
now and buy bis place at what , It would sell
lor on tbn market , nnd go In debt for every
dollar of it and got It cheaper nnd easier than
ho did by homestead and tlmbar claim. Ho
drove his oxen to South Loup canyontwenty
miles , to get poles to cover his sod bouse.
His place Is worth'"i,000and ho has seventy
head of cattlo. nine hones and sotno hogs.
Ills corn last your averaged forty-livo to
lltty-livo bushels , aud vvhoat twenty
bushels.

southeast of Hastings before I came bore ,
nnd I am sure tbis Is the bost. The ground
Is easier worked , can ralso moro eraiu with
loss labor , nnd it is the surest , place for good
crops I ever saw. All wo need now is the
railroad , as wo farmers cannot calculate on
raising all the grain wo can tone ) but must
sow and plant only what ve nan haul twon-
ty-Jlvo miles to the railroad. The amount wo
raise is gauged by our capacity to got it tu

nvoraged forty bushels per acre and I raised
30 * ) bushels of wheat. I have four acres of

the fact that Arcadia , eighteen mlles away ,

Is nit fenced , I have n frame barn , cribs and
granaries , but 1 still llvo in the sod houso. I
tinvj novcr known n falluro of crops , but In
1S9J some farmers raisnd llltlo or nothing. In
that year I had twenty-jovon ncros ot wheat
which averaged nineteen nnd a quarter bush
els per aero , twenty acres of oats averaged
thirty bushols. It was not dry weather but
hot winds that cooked our crops that yoar.

William Lau hlln was visltod at his ola-
gnnt homo In the vlllago of Sargont nnd to&-
titled as follows : I came to Custer countv in
1879 , secured a half soetloa by favor of tha
law in behalf ot settlers , broke It up ana Im
proved It , and have made money farming It
every yoar. I built n Darn tna.1 cost 5700 und
holds forty horses , but the sod house still remains -
mains on the farm. I am now engaged In
buying nnd shipping stock aud have a tonnnt
on the farm. I bad ninety acres of corn
last year that averaged thlrty-tlvo bushels ,
injured by hail. Tno wheat weut twonty-
clght bushols. I have thirty ncros of timothy
nnd clover nnd it is n success if not pastured
nnd I fool sure it would stand pasturing when
tbo country gets n little older. 1 sowed blue
grass among the trees on my tree : lnlm and
It grows up tall and falls down llko It does In
the eastern states. The timothy made ono
and n half tons of bay per aero last year and
will surely make two'tons this year. I plant
ed llfty appio trees this yoar. Small fruit
and berries nro n great success , growing al
most without care and bearing heavily. I
hnvo never soon a falluro of crops hero , al
though hot winds cut the crops short in 1890.
Wo are not subject to hot winds , baing out
of tholr course , but they hit us that time. I
think wo can raako big crops with less labor
and loss rain than In any country I ever saw.
1 was born and raised in Lafayette county ,
Illinois , and farmed there until I came here.
It Is n good agricultural country but I would
. 'Ulier farm bore two to ono , as I can raise
more grain hero with loss labor than in Illi
nois. THE BEE man drove out to Mr. Laugh-
liu's farm and inspected the timothy meadow
and blue grass mentioned above , after hear
ing Mr. Laughlln's story , and can say that
bis nccount does not do Justice. Tno'sod is
perfect and the growth Is as luxuriant iu in
Ohio. The history of all prairie oo untrios
'
proves that it U' only u question of time
when tame grasses wilt bo successfully
raised. Mr. Laughlin's Sargont residence

F. S. Morrison is ono of the oldest settlers
In Custor county and his experience of four
teen and ono-half voarj Is worthy of a care
ful reading. Mr. Mornsou speaks as follows :
I came hero from northeast Missouri four
teen nnd ono-hnlf years ago without a cent of
money , but 1 had throe horses nnd twenty
head of cattle. I secured a half section by
timber cluim nnd pro-umption and have It all
in cultivation nnd pasturo. Last year my
corn averaged forty-ono bushels , oats thirty-
throe , and sixty ncros of wheat nvoragod
twenty-two and one-half bushels per acre ,
six acres of barley averaged forty bushols. I
have never had a failure. Even in the dry
year , as wo call It , my wheat averaged
eighteen bushels per aero , I raised enough
corn to keep my stock through nnd had 200
bushels of oats. This is the best farming
countrv I ever saw. I have n small orchard ,
and believe it is only n question of tlmo when
apples will bo raUod on every farm. My
tro'os nro full this yoar. It Is twonty-llvo
miles from my place to Arcadia and twenty-
ono miles to Burwell , tbo nearest railroad
points. That is the worst thing wo have to
contend with , but wn live in hopes that the
grade already mndo from Omaha to Sargent
will soon bo ironed. This beautiful and fer
tile Middle Loup valley certainly offers too
good a field to be neglected by the railroads.
Last year I marketed 1,200 bushels of wheat
My postofllco address is Sargant.

"Sim1' Porrin , as ho is familiarly known
by his neighbors , is u rustler. His farm of
3.0 acres lies three mlles southeast of Sar
gent , on tbo ' 'table. " Most of the table
lands are smooth and practically level , but
a glance at Sim's place makes it appear to bo
a succession of bluffs , icnobs , hills aud
canyons , with hero and there a few ncros of
level plateau. Lot Mr. Perdu toll bis own
story :
I took this land thirteen years ago , com
ing hero without anv monoy. 1 have Im
proved it as you see and am getting ready to
build mo a good houso. Last year I had
forty acroi of corn that averaged forty-ono
bushels per acre , a portion of it making
sixty bushels ; twenty acres of oats , aver
age , twenty-two bushols. I bad no corn to
speak of in 1890 , but raised aulllciont crop to
winter forty-livo bead of stock nnd bring it
through in good shape , and keep the family ,
besides , I never sold grain until this year
always fed it. This beats any country for
crops I bavo over seen , and I have boon all
around. The ground Is easy to work and
never bakes. Last year I raised sod corn
that made forty bushels per acre. I consider
the table land the bost. It is richer , strongnr ,
yields bigger crops and is exempt fiom frost
for at least , tbreo weeks later in the full than
the valloys. Thcro is no country in the
world that can beat Custor county- for vegetables
tables of all kinds.

Nulirnska llc.lU .Mlnhliaii ,
G. II. Bull has been farming 320 ncros
olght nud a halt miles southeast of Sargont
for the pant thirteen roars , and speaks of it
thus : My corn nnd oats last year nvoraged
forty bushels per aero , nnd the wheat was
strucis with rust nnd only made twelve to
fourteen bushels per tiera. 1 had a fair crop
even in 1890 , nnd have never known a fall
uro. I came hero from Michigan , where I
followed farming , but this Is so muoh better
that there is no comparison. 1 also think
Custcr Is equal to any portion of Nebraska.
Oainn Hack tu Xiihrask t Satisfied.
B. S. Llllv opened the flrat raal oitato
oflico in Broken Bow aud has resided there
ten years. Ho is now engaged In the grain
business nnd Is well qualified to spaak of
Custor county farming operations both from
pcr'Otial observation and by comparison with
other counties. For the past four vears ho
has boon n momoor ot the city council of
Broken Bow , and is well known. Ho states
that last year ho made u tour of the western
states Orecon , Idaho , Utah nnd Washing
ton and all tbo eastern states clear to Now
Yorn. nnd ramo back homo satisfied that no
country has the future before it that Ne
braska has , especially the central portion of
the stato. To give it In his own words :
First , land is cheaper hero than in nny
other stnto and of bettor quality , does not re
quire Irrigation , consequently can bo owned
nnd fiirmod almost without , money Investment ,
nnd being now sparsely settled "it has nil the
advantage of n denser population in store
for it and consequent rlso in price of land.
The eastern statas are out of roach in prlco
of a poor man nnd farming is moro ex
pensive nvon after the land is paid for. Land
in Nebraska worth ? 10 per aero brings $20
in Oregon nnd other western states nnd is
not ns good. Custer county land which can
bo bought for $10 now Is equally ns good nnd
productive as $35 land 100 miles oast. I
know plenty of farms around Broken Bowen
on which the cultivated fields paid ? 21 per
aero lust year nnd the same farms would not
sell on the market for moro than S10 per acre.
There Is no other place on earth where such
inducements are offered mon of small means.

O. W. Wilde , now a largo hardware nnd

Custer county in 18SJ without n dollar and
secured a half suction of land , n homestead
