It was these men who we positive that the B. & M would never build beyond Broken Bow in Custer county, and that there was some doubt about even that point bheing hedd. At the same time, however, the few closeamouthed ones, on the inside. knew that surveyors were at work running preliminary - lines for the extension, and that the work of con straction wonld be undertaken inside of ayear. That they were well posted now evident from the “show-down’ by the B. & M. folks in filing with the seeretary of state the articles of meorpor- ation of the Grand Island & Wyoniing Central railway, anauxiliary company of which G.

Then came an agi tation in Omaha over a road to the north- west, and again the B. & M. folks jumped to the front with the Omaba & North Platte scheme, ‘This means nothing less than the building of an “ox-bow” route. a picking up of the line running south to Ashland, und_earrying it around to the northwest.

Most of our farmers are supplied’ with good barns, grane and outbuildings, and stocked with a much better grade of live stock than was to be found a few years ago.

Papillion Times: The process of listing corn is being thoroughly tested in this lo- cality this season. A ‘large number of farmers have supplied themselves with listers and drills_and intend giving it a very fair teial. The advant claimed for Tisting are that corn is ited more quickly, because it docs away with the usual “amount of plowing; that heavy winds will not do it as much damage on unt of its being_ deeply rooted; that more corn ean be raised to the acre and that corn will not suffer from drought as much as that planted in the ordinary way. If the prodess proves successful we may in a few years oxpect to see fn complete revolution in the method of planting corn. 7 AS T SMALL FRUIT Butler County Peess: The crop of ber- ries, small fruily, ete., promises to be very great this yi if this proves to be a good small ffuit . country, every farm ought to be supplich with its brier patch in some out of the' 'way corner.

It should not be considered that such provision 18 so much extra expense. Whatever is given to the stock and is onten by it, besides what is got in the pasture, is 5o much saved from the feed there. It nlso induces the cows to come more regularly to the barn at night, if they know that a good feed of sweet, Jnicy fodder, awaits them. fiere need be no fear that any of this extra feed will be lost, even if the pas- ture does not give out, for it can all be cured and saved for winter feed. These different erops ean be planted at inter- vals, n small amount at a time, so as to have of succession of fr succulent feed. Setting aside a portion of land, having it plowed, it will take but an hour or two at different times, to plant or sow what is desired. Farmers Raising Trotters. Rural New Yorker: When the coltis years old it oceurs to our farmer to see At horsemanship ean do for him, and merally sends him to some local trainer to be broken and *“developed for sr\'ml.” But usually the most practical thing about the trainer is his bill, and his time is the least valuable of anything which he has to give. Usually befc the trainer begins the farmer thinks th the colt will be worth about as mu 9 Maud S, or Dexter, but by the time S through and the bills arc paid be finds that $150 is all he will bring, or $250 at the outside. If a farmer isasufficient horseman he will give up the idea of breeding that phenomenal ereature which is known not as a horse but as a trotter. There are two or three kinds of horses. One is a trotter but that is not merely & horse. It is an animal that has an aptitude to learn a certain trick which is called trotting. 1t is notnatural especailly, any more than it is natural for two dogs to be born with stumpy tails. If the roads are smooth enough, and if the wagon or sulky is light, and if the weights on the feet ‘are properly adjusted, and if the animal at the other end of the reign has gotthe right sort of hand and won't give it away to somehody else, the horse may make & phenom Mt R not one of the pursuits of the farm, and any farmer or farmer's boy that hinks himself in any way with the business has deviated from the true ight course that belong to legitimate agricul ture or hushandry. Hints and Buggestions. Diversified farming means ficlds of grain, meadows and pastures; a kitchen garden and orchard; a lawn with trees and flowers; breedinz-mares and milk cows; sheep, swine and poultry. Live stock is the groundwork and will hold the ground fertile. To economize spacoe in the garden When you sow your dwarf peas for suc- cession drop sweet corn in the drills four to six inches apart.

Yet there are plenty of farmers who, when they are not using their horses, will keep them imprisoned for days or wecks at a time, and then wonder why they have trouble in keep- ing them in gumfmn.mium The white and brown grubs that eat corn, cabbage and other vegetables in spring and early summer keep far enough underground to be unaisturbed by sudden changes. If the fields they infe plowed or turned over early in spring their retreats are broken up, and lavge numbers of them perish, Many also fall victims to the plackbird and tho crow, which often follow the plow to pick up these deficate morscls as they are turned over to the surface. In this way these birds render their most valuable services to the farmer. The skunk is also a great destroyerof the cut-worm, though otherwise both he and the crow are intol eruble nuisance: A good cow demands a good pasture Having been 1 1 for a capaeity to con- vert food into milk and butter, $he must be provided with a sufliciency or she will prove a failure, The change of location will entirely alter the yield of a cow, and yet many ascribe the fault to the animal, when the true causo is the pasture. Nor is a full supply of grass in the pusture sure indication llm‘f the cow is satisfied. The appetites of cows difler; and they will often lose time by traveling restlessly from one portion to another, overlooking ain grasses that are plentiful in order ek a more favored kind. For that the pasture should consist of a varioty and contain an abundant supply, in order that the cow may have nmp?u opportunity for filling herself quickly, so that she may rest and masticate her food properly. e -— The first fire 1nsurance company in America was the “Philadelphia Contribu- tionship,”” organized in 1753, This grew out of a'system of private underwriting through brokers, which began at least as yas 1721.
