THE VALUATION BUOMING. Cotinty Officials Making Returns of Assess bz ments to the State Auditor, A LARGE PER CENT OF INCREASE. Rapid Progress of the Missouri Pacific Little Do- The Extension Construction ingat th Editorial Excursion. State Capital The e of state is receiving the first mstallmient of returns of valuations from the different but the limit of time for sending them in is the 15th of July, but few counties as yet have presented their credentinls. Judging from the returns thus far received, how- ever, Nebraska 1s being boomed in the line of valuation as well as in popula- tion, and the increased valuation as re turned to the auditor gives promise the present year of being in per cent of in- crease much greater than any year here- tofore ven counties have thus far re. ported, and of the seven only one reports a decrease in valuation, and that county lit A counties Saline, which records a decreaso of £30,000. The county of Jefferson pre- sents o valuation differing very slightly from the year previous, but Sarpy shows un inerease of £120,000, Fillmore 000, Nuckolls of £200,000, York of $4 and Cedar county of $40,000, so that general average of the few can be us a fair index of what the increase will ghow up when all the returns are in. It isunderstood that when Laneaster coun ty’s valuation is furnished for publica tion that it will show an increase in val- ue of $2,000,000,000, which will be a rosp sie plum toward swelling the general average, MISSOURT PACIFIC CONSTRUCTION. Work is now progressing on the grad- ing contracts all along the line from Lincoln to ElImwood, where the work is nearly finished from that point to the connection with the main line at Weep- ing Water. Itis stated that five miles of track have been laid from Weeping Water west, and mater now being shipped to this city over the B. & M. for the first five miles of the road stward {from this point. There are at w i the different grading gangs some four to five hundred teams, and at the rate of present work the company will b run- ning trains into Lincoln by the 15th of August, thus discounting their allotted time by fifteen days. Thus far the com- pany has located but one town in Lan- castor county, and that is located near ‘Walton postoffice. This, presumably will be the only town on the road betwe Lincoln and the county line, and the th towns of McClintie, EImwood and Wabash, located in Cass county, added, ill make four stations on the Lincoln on of th ad. That_all four of them have booms equal to cities of the second class goes without saying. 1K JITORIAL EXCURSIO! At the conference committee meeting of the Republican Valley, Central Ne- braska and State Press association, held in this city yesterday afternoon, it was decided {o have one grand excursion under the management of the State Press association which will leave Lincoln July 24 and Omaha July ; the route of the excursion being to Salt Lake City, Echo Canyon, the Ontario mines; thenvia the Denver & Rio Grande to De , taking in the scenery and noted points by the way. The trip will occupy twelve to fourteen days and will be made in Pull- n coaches, extra low rates having been secured by President Correll from that company, and the Union Pacific and B. & M. extending the courtesies of their roads to the association free. This change from the programme as herctofore pub- lished announcing an excursion to the const, is made so that every editor in the siate may feel able to go. nouncing details of the e: ill be jssued by the secretary of the association as quick}y as possible. AT THE STATE CAPITAL. The board of public lands and build- ings were out yesterday examining the salt wells on tlhie bottom and noting the progress of the contractors. In the sec- retary’s oflice yesterday the school bonds of district 38, Lancaster county, for $2,900 were registered; also the bonds of school district No. 50, of Buffalo county, for §500, and the bonds of district No. 15, Garfield county. for $1,500. The clerk’s record of the board of public lands and buildings showed that the number of con- victs at the state penitentiary for the month past was an average of 332, and the warrant in payment for their keeping has been drawn and delivered. State Auditor Babcock has gone to his at Ord, Valley county, on a visit of ys duration, DOINGS OF A DULL DAY, Yesterday a man named R. A. Corbett was arraigned for stealing a lady's gold watch and_chain from Cook’s hotel at Waverly. When the theft was discoy- ered Mr, Cook telephoned the police in this city to watch an incoming freight, but the thief had not taken pa that way. Marshal Beach and Policeman Fowler then drove out on the bottoms near the fair grounds, and in- torcopted two fellows who were en- tering the eity on a tie pass, and one of them, when closely pressed, deposited the watch tied up in an old handkerchief in a bunch of grass by the railroad. The property was recovered, however, and the man was furnished quarters in jail, with good prospects for going over the road to the bourne from Which travelers do not return in a hurry. Sheriff Hamilton, of York county, was in the city yesterday and made the arrest of a man working on one of the street ax lines here who is charged with steal- ing & watch in that county, He accom- panied the sheriff home to answer to the state of Nebraska tor the felony com- mitted, The fifteen hundred parties who jour- noyed out to Durfee p: 1o witness the LRoss-Mc re broad sword contest re- turned to the city with elongated fuces and gilence on_théir Jips.

Police court rattled off the docket yes- terday morning without dolay or hin- drance, the eases numboring two plun drunks, two drunks and disordorlies, and one charge of fast driving, wherein one of the principal streets in the city was used as the chariot way. The usual fines and commitments followed the hearings. C, A McBride, of Mansfield, Ohio, at- torney for the northern division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is in Lincoln on a tour of inspection and a visit to this section of the western country.

Humporpr, Neb., June 22.—[Corres- pondence of the Bek.]—Humboldtis pro- gressing and growing steadily and is bound to remain one of the best towns in southeastern Neb: It now has a population of about fifteen hundred souls. It has one of the best school houses as well as one of the best schools in the state, six churches of different denomi- nations, twenty substantial brick bu ness houses, each and every one of which is doing a good business, It has also a carringe factory, a churn factory, a creamery, and a good prospect to get a canning factory shortly. Humboldt can also boast of having one of the best train- tracks, and our breeders of fast stock are among the foremost in the state, Nota- ble among them are Ed Pyle, who at the present time is in Omaha with several of; his fine horses, and Ed Dorland, the owner of Calamity Dick, the only standard bred son of the late famous Maxey Cobb. As {o the crops in the county we will say that corn is now looking fine although some of the late listed had been suffering from the drouth a few days ago, butthe recent rains have brought it out all right again. Fall wheat looks well and is about ready for harvest. Svring v and oats will not be very heavy. '] grass is said to be almost a failure in some parts of the county. The apple crop promises to be good. There will also be a few peaches. The prices of farm produce of every description are very low, in fact, lower than they have been for many years.

Nebraska Fa Notes Arapahoe Pionecr: Several parties from the broom corn district inform us the ay erage is very little if any larger than last year and the stand is very poor, many acres being replanted. The Pioncer grets this exceedingly, as the report of a poor stand will make good prices for this year's crop and this tion could stand a good crop and prices for at least one year. re elsewhere Cambridge Demoerat: Nebraskais ran idly becoming a state of forests—and the best part of it is the trees are where they are wanted and best serve their owners, and of the most desirable varietics. The timo is coming when a man can ride in his canopy-top carriage from one end of the state to the other under protection from the sun by beautiful shade trees on either side of the road and indulge in fruit of all kinds at a trifling exponse. Long Bine Bugle: A sample of wheat left at our office Tuesday, and which is the raising of Mr. T. Winter, justifies us in snying that this is the year of rich har- vests for Brown county farmers. The mple measures nearly three feet in height and has a most bhealthy color of wure green, is beginning to head and ias n large Stock with which to amply support what is sure to be a_heavy yield, Mr. Winter has twenty acres of this wheat in fine growing condition on s beautiful farm four miles north and east of the Pine and is _confident tl reward will attend his efforts in v a lieavy production. Barnett Blade: The amount of s fruits that can be raised on a mere gar- den pateh is almost ineredible. From a plat of about one-half acre Mr. Hale has shipped so many bushels of berries that heis at a loss to compute thew. Heis now shipping berriesas far west as Chad- ron and to a_great many of the interme diate pomnts. He is thinking seriously (which means that he is going to do it) of putting in ten _acres next year to yarious small fruits. This will give employment. at profitable wages, to a large force of mer, women and children, and will ve a source of big profit to him. An acre of small fruits will yield as much profit as an eighty-uere farm under cultivation. Advance: A few days ago we ed the home of J.A. Haner, four miles northeast of town. _ Mr. H. home- steaded _his farm about fourteen years 1s one of the finest farms in this part of the country. In that time he has given considerable care to forest and fruit trees, and has been well repaid for his labor, his house being surrounded by beautiful groves, flowers, shrubbery and fruit. Among the fruits are applé, a0, and now year, plum and cherry trecs,grape vines, hlackberry, raspberry, gooseberry, mul- berry, currants and steawberries, and the outlook is good for a very bountiful crop of each pt cherries. Three or four vears ago it was said the butternut would not grow in this latitude; and he tried the experiment and planted a num- ber of seeds; to-day he has several fine butternut trees, all bearing this year. He also has two fields of timothy and red clover, which is as luxuriant’in growth as it scems is possible inany country, being so thick that i going through your fect do not touch the ground. 0 one, after secing this would have a doubt of its growing here. Mr. Haner lives at home in every sense of the word. Sur- rounded by comforts that nearly every farmer might also enjoy who has lived here so long had they taken the time to piant and care for trees and shrubs. Pork Productions. During the past few years there has been very little profit in raising hogs in most parts of the country. The exclu- sion of our hog products from several European countries hus had the el of bringing down prices at home. The periodic scares about trichinm have caused many cautious persons to aban- don the use of pork. ‘No pork products except ham, lard, and fancy sausage are any longer favorite articles of food among the more wealthy classes in large towns. They demand fine beef, spring lamb, game, and poultry. The greatest discouragement, however, has been the revalence of the swine plague, ordina- ly known as the hog cholera. This disease has produced larger losses in a much shorter time than any malady that has appeared among any kind of domes- ticated animals in this country. Thus far but little light has been thrown on the origin of the disease and the manner in which it is spread. Many theories have been propounded, butin the opinion of most persons none of them have ac- counted for the phenomena that have been presented. It 1s certain that yery few are competent to treat the disease or to prevent its svreading through a herd or from one tarm to another, Still, with all the discouragements that attend it, pork production will probably always continue to be one of the leading farm industries in this country. This is the greatest pork-producing country in the world, and most likely it will always remain s0. The climate and the products of the soil are admirably suited to the production of pork. Corn can be pro- duced cheaper here than in any foreign country, and corn 18 the best food to use in fatening hogs. Clover, rye, apples and potatoes are also produced in great aburidance, and these are all very val- uable for feeding to hogs in any stage of their growth, This 15 a great milk- producing country, and whey, skimmea and sour milk can be fed to hogs to better advantage than to other animals, The climate 1s very fayorable to hogs. The heat in any part_of the country 15 rarely 80 groat as to injure thes With cheap protection they ean be kept with profit in the most nerthern tier of states and terri- tori In most parts of the country they require no shelter from the time they are dropped till they are ready for the market. Buildings for the protectien of hogs are unknown on many furms that are fhlully devoted to the production of pork. ) Still, with all these advantages many farmers in those portions of the country where the largest crops of clover and corn are raised are giving up keepin, hogs on an extensive scale. They thinl that the profits are too smail for the large isks involved. They will continue to ork for their own use, but will raise butlittle for the market. Most likely wealthy farmers will devote more attention to horses and cattle and thereby {:;\'u farmers who have smaller means a etter chance to make money by keeping hogs. Apparently the swine disease i3 more frequent as well as more likely to prove fatal on the flat prairies, where ery large crops of corn are raised, than olling and ki land. The risk nt of swine plague are much greater all the land is embraced in im- ACCo wher proved farms than in parts of the country that are sparsely settled, The discase ap- pears Lo be carried from one farm to those near to it, and often carri off uonrl{ all the hogs kept in a town that is ¥ thickly settled. On isolated farms there is much less danger from infection, us one lot of hogs is not likely to eome in contact with another, The risks sttending the keepin hojgs way be greatly reduced by hasten- ing their growth as fast as possible.

The chicks were forced in growth in order to observe how fast they would grow and how quickly they would be made to reach a given weight, and the result was that they aged two pounds reks old, when sed and ready to be drawn. The ight was such as to ereate doubt, and Plymouth Rock used with a Bramha hen, and izht of two bounds each when nine weeks old. The lymouth Rock was then erossed on the aye! the day they were nine v dre puillets of the Hondan-Bramha ¢ \d at the end of sixteen weeks they weighed four and one-fourth pounds each, or more than a pound for each month's growth, the greater weight having been made during the last two weeks. Here was the result of good breeding, and, we may add, of good feeding, too, for they were fed for the purpose of making rapid growth from the start. There was no secret mode of feeding The chicks were given all thoy could eat, and re- ceived all the attention possible of being bestowed. Beekeeping. In_proportion to tne population the number of persons who keep bees is very small, yet there is no branch of ming (for it should be connected with farming) more profitable at eertain seasons than the keeping of; b A good, strong colony, ‘in the midst of the bus; ason, will ebllect and store four or fiv hound: of honey daily; hut the amount SiEvoik done by the bees depends upon the for- age and the strength of the colony. As soon a8 a_colony bucomes weak and in- capable of defense it will be attacted by the stronger ones and robbed. Hence, in order to keep cach hive up to its fullest capacity, the beekveper must provide slenty of comb foundation in ovder to sen the work to be performed, and sow such crops as will afford honey later in the scason, when the flowers have fin- ished blossoming.. » The swarming process is nothing more than the departure of the old queen and her working bees, in order to abandon the hive to the younger queen and bees, By being on the alert and hiving the swarms as they alight, the number of colonies may be largely increased, but the weak colonies seldom swarm. The moth usually attack the weak colonies, and only the stronger ones are able to pass safely through the winter. The common bees may be gradually re- placed with the Italian or Cypr xfu 'S y removing the old queen and substitut- ing a new fertilized queen of cither kind preferred. If she 1s carefully guarded in a small cage for a few days, the bees soon recognize her, and in the course of a few months the otd bees will all be dea 1 the new ones will be of the desired kind The gueen is compelled to lay large num- bers of eggs daily in order fo supply the great loss constantly occurring by the de- struction from birds, storms and other dificulties. They should be left plenty of honey for a winter supply, and the hives should be well protected from the storms What the beekeeper should aim to do is to sow such erops as will enable the bees to luy in a large supply of honey, and he can well affol ‘.[ to do so if he has a num ber of hives. Atthis season the bees find plenty to do in working on the flowers, but later the crop of buckwheat affords ample forage while it is in blossom, En- terprising beekeepers combine beckeep- ing and poultry raising, finding that a small picce of ground may in that man- ner return large profit, How to man: bees cannot well be explained in a single article, All who are interested should first make themseclves familiar with the details, before beginning, by consulting authorities on the subject.” That bee keeping is a profitable occupatic ever, has been demonstrated torily to all so engaged. Spaying, Considering that the selling value of female cattle that have been spayed 1s much greater than on those which are n fact right close up to steer is not a little surprising that in all the vast number of cattle owners there are not more who have paid serious at- tention to the subject of spaying cows and heifers, in its relations to a larger re- turn of beef and profit from the female portion of their herds. Whuen the operation is performed by a bungling hand there are possibilitics that enough animals will be lost from thut alone to destroy any hope of profit, says the Kansus City Indjcator, but in the few es we havi 1 where it was done y perdons familf 'with animal surgery and anatomy, the of loss was no rreater than “from chstrating a like num- ber of maules, and ndomore serious incon- venience resulted tor the animals, while their thrift. growth,fatteniug and killing qualities were greatly improved.
