S — BIG BLOWS, Some Notable Cyc cane: The recent clyclones in Minnesota and Towa call to mind the notable cyclones « in the northwest dur ing previons years. Tho Pionecr Press thus summarizes them: In June, 1877, a large part of the little azel Lafayotte county, a fic hurri- cane, which, in addition to the frightful work usnally wrought by such storms in the shape of demolishing buildings, twisting huge rees and carrying people into the air, smoke half a dozen persons with the icy hand of death.

A number of houses were unroofed at Mankato, and crops were considerable destroyed. No lives were lost. On the 10th and 1eth of June, 1881, hurricanes swept through Fairbault, Blue Earth and Nicollet counties, Minn., and Polk and Audubon counties, owa, kil ling or maiming between twenty and thirty peopie, leveling erops, destroying buildings, ete. This was a prelude to the m gor} cyclone af I b i the great part of New Ulm, Brown county, Minnesota, in ruins. ‘Three hundred buildings were torn to atoms, thirteen porsons killed,and a score of others injured, some 3 The same terrible storm passed throngh Ren- ville and Nicollet counties, Minnesots Twelve persons were killed and many others injured at West Newton and Well- ington, and several fatalities oceurred at other points in the track of the storm, while all through the devastated section numerous financial losses were inflicte enormous in the aggregate. A dele tion of citizens of New Ulm came to Paul and laid the distressing state of af- fairs before Governor Pillsbury, who at once took measures for the relief of the filicted community, where 500 people had been made homeless by the ity t. Paul and other es of the st sponded cheerfully and promptly tothe call for help. THE GRINNELL STORM. The nex ent in the series of eyelonic horrors, and more calamitous than any of its predecessors, was the partinl do struction of Grinnell, Iowa, and Malcorn, nine miles distant, June 18, 18%2. At Grinnell the list of mortality embra forty-one names, and at Malcorn nine were killed. Abowt 100 men wer wounded more or less severely in the tw towns, several of the number dying within a few d In both places some of the finest residences were completely shattered and the fragments blown away, and s 1 public edifices were likewise uninhabited, the principal ones being those of the Iowa Congregational cof- loge, valued at $100,000. The agoregato value of the dwelling houses obliterated by this tornado was placed at $250,000. Appeals to public charity were immed- iately made on behalf of the vietims of the disaster, and generous contributions poured in from Chicago and many other cities of the northwest. This closed the second of notable storms for 1882. In 1883 there were numerous cyclones in the northwest, the first big one being at Racine, May 8, in which nine lives were lost, fifteen fatally injured and ninety slightly hurt. The houses were mainly small ones, belonging to the laboring s, and the loss approximated £100,000. The Same storm passed through the coun- ties of Sangamon, Dewitt and Jerse i core of peopla i - PG R s O s Te ouiers, Ald AnnLaUng number of frame buildings. The I serious cyclone in the northwest previous 1o the Rochester disaster was on July 21, which passed through Dodge and Olm’ stead counties and westward into Dako- ta, The number of lives lost was ten and a lm'Ffl number were seriously injured. The losses to crops were heivy. Near Owatonna a Chicago & Northwestern passenger train was blown from the teack and twenty porsons were injured. THE ROCHE! CYCLONE. The most terrific cyclone that ever oo- curred in Minnesota visited Rochester early in the evening of Aug. 3, 1883. The entire northern paft of the city was laid in ruins, twenty-six people killed out- right and eighty others badly injured. The storm was terrific, carrying eyerything before it. After leaving Rochester it swept onward to the west through Dodge county, carrying death ‘and destruction in its path.” The loss in property from the effects of the storm was about $300, 000. On Tuesday afternoon, Sept, 9, 189: a severe wind storm gwept Acfoss V ington county in a northeasterly direc- tion, devastating the country and par- tially destroying the village ‘of Marine Mills. l!ubmm‘mrsnn was killed and less than a halta dozen seriously inujred. The storm was cyclonic in some places, and extended over a strip of territory about eight miles wide. Yellow Medicine county suffered from a severe rtorm on Friday, June 13, 1885. The wind was a straight blow, not of a eyclonic nature, and was 1\1'(‘0:))}>nnie(l by a heavy fall of in and hail.

M)NDAY, APRIL 19, 1888. O'NEILL, NEBRASKA. A Town of $500,000 lmprovements. The County Seat of Holt County. O’'NxiLy, Nebraska, April 14th.—[Cor- respondence of the Beg.]—The flourish- ing county seat of Holt county is situated on the F. E. & M. V. R. R., two hundred miles west of the Missouri river, in the celebrated valley of the famous Elkhorn. This valley, beautiful and picturesque, comprises the most fertile agricultural country in the northorn part of the state. The geographies of a few years ago, known to adults, traced this valley on their colored pages as a barren sand des- ert, but asthe old adage says, ‘“The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof.” This country in raising cereals exccls most others and droughts are now un- known to this climate, The early explor- er found this section the feeding ground of immense herds of buffalo, but the gportsman and hide hunter have entirely extinguished this monarch of the plains. The tame animal, however, suc. cceded the wild and instead of the buffalo, the domesticated cow and horse, with their numerous progeny roam over the ‘‘desert’’ rich with g es and bring wealth to the fow, The railroad built mto this country durin| the years of 1880 and 1831 gave the land seeker a chance to come and see for him- self whether or not this was the and wasto which he had always beep [gd to beligye if Jo bo—ha fannd Ero attle and pienty of grass, luxfirlant in growth, which gave eyidence that these non-sup- posed agricultural plains was a fertie country. The plow was used to turn the prairie and after once harvesting.a crop the true nature of the soil was revealed, and it was attested that the soil of tl Elkhorn valley was in fertility superic to that of the east. I'he productivenc: of the soil is now unquestionable for agricultural _purposss. Good wate entirely free from alkaline taint, can h be obtained at from ten to thirty feet be low the surface. The rain fall during the past few y greatly iner and now the nmount of moisture pre tated is suflicient for all purposes. HOLT COUNTY, from whence we write, is in_every par- ticular above the average of those in th state_for agriculture and grazing. Land which a fow years ago was considered too poor to be given away is now, throughout the coun t from ten to thirty dollars per acre, and as im- provements ‘are gradually added will in- Grenso within fow years, to forty dollars per acre. The edueational advantages here are excellent. In 1875 but five school districts were in Holt county. om that time till 1884 over two hundred were ostablished and the number in- creasing as does the population. The census of 1850 gave this county 8,287 peo- ple and in 1885 the number had inereased )00 and at the present time reliable ies place the number at over 20, 'he homesteads which h: been are rapidly coming into title possession of the seitlers as is substantiated by the 120,000 acres which was deeded by “the government during the year 1885, T PRINCIPAL TOWN, O'Neill the county s of Holt county and is a model young ci(_]' for the west. With its elegant” and costly build- ings, it has the appearance, somewha of an_eastorn city or mgtropolis. Al' though the town 'is but five years old, counting its age from the timo the rail® road reached it, its building improve- ments exceed in 'value $500,000. A court house, built of brick, has been erccted at a cost of $16,000, and a school house, of the same materjal, elegant in appe ance, cost §8,000 more. The First National bank building cost $18,000, and the building of the Holt county bunk $8,000. ‘The capital of the above bank- {ig Hsyfulions"00mntuad is about $100.- 000, and both are strong"and reliabic. O'NEILL WAS FIRST SETTLED in the year 1874 by a colony from the New England states, and many of the colony me.nbers are now prominent per- sonages of the town, among whom are Hon. Patrick Fahy, Neil Brennan, J. J. McCafferty and others. The latter gen- tlemen are seporately engaged in the hardware business and both doing an ex- tensive business. All the business men of O'Neill are enterprising and energetic, and the prosperons town which they have built up show their work. The large. well stocked, general me ndise firms, including thoso of T. N. J. Hynes and Mann & Hocker, are models of neatness. ) THE LEGA[L bl’fll;]-‘ <i10NK 3 is ably represented by Senator Kingaid, Clc wluml, Meals & Co., Judge G.fiflan and M. F.

O'Neil's popula- tion at present is about 1,200. Its im- provements are the most costly of any west of Fremont in Nebraska. The Evans House is a large three story hotel, and first class and one of the many nand- some buildings which the town contains. The Holt county ereamery is *another enterprise which the town ' contains. A contract has been let for the building of A LARGE FLOURING MILL, and 1t is thought that two mills will bo ereeted during the coming summer. The press is well represented by three pa- e the Tribune, Frontier and Pcople. 'he editor of the former paper, J. M. McDougal, is a man of rare ability as an editor, His paper now has a circulation En ater than unfi'p fizur in northern Ne- raska, O'Neill 3 k PERMANENT POINT. The Milwaukee railroad will shortly construct a line from Niobrara to this place which will help the town’s future prospects. With a through railroad and & favorable prospect of another line and with the class of business men of which O'Neil is composed, there is certainly no doubt in the eyes of a candid observer but. that this place will make one of the first towns in the state. A, fuiaici ok FIELD AND FARM. Inoculation for Swine Plague, Breeders' Gazette: Dr. W. H. Rose, of the department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., has just completed an extended tour through the Missouri Valley states looking after contagious discases of farm animals. He has scoured from the infected vegions in Kansas and Nebraska much valuable in- formation, particularly regarding swine pl_gue, and has forwarded to Washing- t & considerable muterial for use in the investigations being made thore to determine more definitely the cause and natue of this disease. He stopped over at Springfield on his way back to Washington, to gonsult with Col. Mills, secretary of the Illinois department of Agriculture, regarding the health and ~ condition of farm animals in this state, But lllinois could not, at this time, furnish anything of especial interest in the way of cattle or swine dlsease Experiments recently made by the state authorities in Nebrasks, secm to disprove the Pasteur theory of inocula- tion as u preventive of swine plague. But Dr. Rose does not consider these ex- veriments conclusive. It is still an open question whother the disease known as swine plague in Europa is the sam that which appears in Xebraska and sas. It is possible, also, that the so-ealled swine plague in gur eastern states may differ somewhat ?mm that of the west. So long as well educhted-men, having at command every facllity that' science can supply for the study of these mala- dies, are unable to waster them we are ligte. disposed to rely on the advertised “sura remeaies” ahd gnosses of the man: who claim to know all about the so-calley hog cholera, its causes, and its cures. A man_who knqws little or nothing of physiology and chemistry, or of study with the mi ope, may travel the country displaying samples in alcohol of worms or othér parasites supposed to cause or result from swine pl'ugun, and by such display leid many to think him possessed of tho groat sccret that is to save millions of dollars to the swine breeders of America. But is it reasona. blo to suppose that such a man has any- thing new or anything that has escaped the keen search of the well-trained scientist? There is no doubt that swine here, as well in Europe, is high tagious P!azfle con- £ y given to healthy a: imals by inoculation; but how to culti- vate the virus o as to have it of just the proper strength to communicate “the dis- ease in a light form only, yet enough to prevent its rocurrence without fatal ro- sults, hns not been discovered. In view of the well-cstablish swine plague is contagions, and that it goes throngh the country inno other way than by the multiplication and spread of disease germs, it is to be regretted that mon of prominence, as swine breeders, should speak lightly of danger from the traflic in hogs that have died of discase, In the recently published proceedings of the National Swine Breeders’ association there is a paper in which attempt is mado to show that the hauling of dead or ws- sed hoas along the Jighwav. ar ¢hoi2 trat Torwtion oy rail, need 'eause no alarny. 11 generally road and beliyed, such teachings would do greater injury to the hog raising industry than all the good things said in the many other ex cellent papers published by the associ tion could ever ropair The department of agriculture and the bureau of animal industry at Washing- ton are doing good service for the Amer- ican farmer and live stock breeder, and I believe it a duty to give them the moral support of our confidence in their work, rather than to criticise and fault every action tak 1 fact that 17: We have been sure ny breeders and having pigs farrowed at the time for noctial storms. We never yet have had alitter of pigs farrowed during the last half of March. When breeding sows we i bly have reference to this matte 1o does not always apply, but ge erally there is brittle weather from the 18th to_the 27th of March Then why lave pigs como at this period when a dif- ferent date will answdr as well? M hog raisers during a lifetime cxpor never think of this. And it is other ovidence that they do not ¢ study their business. Farmers need to 1ook more to dota During the equi- passed somo tions visited by storms of great se- rly every section lias been v rain, snow’ or sudden changes in temperature. We speak of this matter now so that our readers may have it im- sed upon their minds and observe it in the future. ! Get in the Sceds and Plants, Early, Those who <ontemplate setting ont vines should do so_early, or as soon as the condition of the ground permits, Strawberries are partial 10 a cool season and delight in plenty of moisture, and for that reason no time should be lost in transplanting the runners. Alfl_\nufh many persons prefer to wait until the roung plants have mado some growth of caf in the spring, yet the best results have been obtained on ndy soils when the plants are placed in position before the crowns have started. The young vines of other fruits may be treated in the same manner, espegially in those sections where the summer is usually dry and but a small proportion of rain is secured. In a faw, wegks more the middle of the day will be ‘E‘J Bt m, T ear Sayiler the plants can be put out the betfer they will endure the heat of the sun and a dry soil. Seeds of tomatoes, egg plants. water- melgns,cantaloupes and other plants that are liable to be injured, may uH]mltml in soil placed 1 empty egg shells, and whon the proper time arrives may be placed in their positions without bein, isturbed from tho shells, as they wil break the shells as they grow lIargor. ‘This method is an easy and excellent one for securing a few plants for %an early supply. Peas, kale, radish and lettuce endur slight frosts, and the seeds may be place in the ground as carly s preferred, though “’-“‘g peyiods of wet weather may canse wom! o; them to rot. Parsley, beets, caFrots and parsnips are hardy, and the seed slow in germinating, Théy cannot be put in too soon after the sround is ready, as the grass will destroy the ymm"ll)lfluhif it Degins to oceupy the ground before the plants can become firm| ablished. As soon as they can be di ned in the rows the ground should be thoroughty cleaned of all weeds and grass, even if it must be done by hand, but after that is done the hoe will easily protect them, Do not attempt to get such plants as squash, cucumbers, pumpkin, Lima beans or string beans in before being satisfied that there will be do further danger from frosts. But the seeds should be planted before the seeds become dry, as a favor able start is very important.” Whero it'is intended to place such crops the soed bed should be carefully prepared now, and the weeds and young grass will be_casily destroyed by working over the soil again before planting the seed. The ground for early crops should be worked deeply, and then made as fine as harrow or rake can be used for that purp No ma- nure except such as has boen thoroughly rotted should be used, as fresh manurd may contain the seeds of weeds. Take advantage of the spring rains and en- deavor to forward the plants as far as possible before summer, Seasonable Hints and Suggestions, Do not compel the sheep to forage ex- clusively for their food. Ev when the the grass is plentiful a liberal mess of oats_ when they come up at mght will greatly add to their thrift and condition, Hot-beds are to be started six weeks before the plants can be safely set in the open ground., These need close atten- tion in airing, The'sun’s heat in a closed bed witl destroy the erop in a few hours Cows should be milked with regularity. If this work is postponod beyond 1ho reg- ular time the cows will not yield the usugl quanty and will becomé dry very rapidly. A few grapevines- planted along the borders of the walks and trained to meet overhead will not only provide shade but yield a crop of fruit as well. The vines can therefore be made useful and orna- mental, Soils containing a large proportion of sand are best for garden purposes, but the sub-soil shquld be of clay if the fer- tility is to be retained. Dralhage, how ever, is important in securing good crops from the garden. Hives should not be_placed directly on the grouna, as it will rot the bottom boards and harbor ants, but the earth may be banked up even with the entrance, 0 that spiders, toads and lizards cannot find a hiding place underneath, Rye may be pastured with advantage at this season, and makes excellent gr food until 'grass is ready. Unless trampled on ton much no_injury will be done to the rye by pasturing upon it, and a crop of grain may be secured later in the scason. At this season, when the stoek has young grass, plenty of salt should be allowed. Very young and tender grass will sometimes” eause bowel discase, espegially if the animals have been fed on dry food exclusively during the winter, and as salt counieracts the in- jurious effects to s eertain extent, it should be within convenient access. The Qsndvantages of the ordinar; system of settin, Efilk in shallow pnn’l for raising creapl are that a long period elapses before the skim is eomplet- ed, too much spage is roquired, and in summer the milk becomes sour before the whole of the cream is raised. Rats us find nhnrborin% place under a y fv-n if they can do 8o, and as they will always have plenty to eat they cannot @asily be captured or driven off. By the liberal use of chloride of lime n their holes, or of caustic potash where they are compelled to walk, thoy will be- come disgusted and leavo. A regular system of rotation on the farm will greatly increase the fertility of tho soil, and when the practice of turn- ing under crops of green manure is made a permanent one 1t will greatly inere the yields of the regular crops enable the manure made upon the to be used to greater advantage. There are two Kinde of strawberries, the hisexual (or perfeet) and the pistillate or im]n-rln-nh The first will produce ruit of itse while the other requires ollen from a ¥urioty of perfect plants before the plants ean fruit. In setting out strawberry plants, therefore, a_ row of the perfect plants should bo placed every third or fourth row, in_order that the imperfect plants may be fertilized. L—— Nelson M, Beker Uisirict Attorne chester Co., N. Y., office at White Plains, writes June 20, 1835: “Five years ago 1, my two sons and wife were very liable to colds. We wore the heaviest clothing, wrapping ourselves very warm; but it was colds, coughs and catarrh all the time. Finally wecommenced wearing Allcocks Pourous Plasters as chest pro- tectors, The first year we got rid of our heavy flannel as well as all coughs and colds. W each wore two Plasters on the chest and pit of the stomach for three or four weeks at o time, then washed the parts with alcohol and put on fresh ones; they uppeared to warm and invigorate the whole body so that we never took cold.”” and arm ———— Generai Howard’s arrival in Cheyenne lized by a band playing, ‘L This is bringing the “Christian soldier” business to the verge of sacrilege.

They will then require no feed- ing except a mess of f;rumul oats mixed with middlings, which should be given at night.
