They liad met by appointment two days ago in St. Louis, Mo., the one from the cast and the other from the far west, Their mission to Nebraska was to un ravel a mystery that slumbered since 1830, and their visit was made to the state oflicers, the attorney general in particular holding an important place in the subsequent procecdings. The mis sion of the gentlemen to clear the mystery and secure the escheated estate of Leonard H. Smith, of Washington county, Neb., who died in 1880 and whose valuable estate had been found wanting an heir, and after much trouble had been converted, under the law, to the school fund of the state. Au- ditor Powell, of Vermont, had discovered the heirtin the person of L. Smith, of Oregon, who had come receive the property it of Washington ™ county i8 not un- known to the public and especially to the seople of Washington_county, 5o only a jrief and enrsory review need be given at the present” time. When Leol L Smith died in the year before mentioned he was found to be lots in the village of Fort Calhoun, and in looking through his effects some £10,000 in government bonds were found in the bottom of a tool chest that he owned: It is said that Smith was of a miserly turn, almost :cluse, and at his death nothing was known of his_history and not a clew could be found of any to The history of the Smith es- kin. A party named Wiseman was ap- vointed administrator and the bonds were converted into cash and a good deal of monay spent in trying to find an heir to it but without success, Meanwhile, the money remained in the hands of the ad- ministrator, or parties in Washington county, and when Attorney 1 Leese came into office his attention wi d to the fact that the wealth of the ate should be turned into the state ury under the law. Mr. Leese, in turn, catled the attention of the governor and state superintendent, who are the hoard of escheated estates, to the condi- tion of affairs, and this be J. R. Webster, who about ceffected a settlement with holding the estate, and some 8,000 in eash was turned into the school fund, wero taken for what was terday was the first intima. would ever call for it, and the attorney general, after due delibera- tion, had asked the gentlemen from Ver- mont and Oregon for the proofs of lineage, and when the same 13 estab- lished the legislature will be asked to re- turn the money l]ll'oll%ll an appropria- tion.

About a year ago a & young man, himself named Smith, left the county wh Auditor Powell lives, and coming to Schuyler, Nebraska, heard through the papers of the Nebraska Smith estate without heirs, and wrote to Mr. Powell concerning it. The latter remembered that years ago Leonard H. Smith ived at Shaftsbury, Vt., and that he had a brother there also. To trace Leonnrd H. Smith from Shafts- bury to Sutton, Ca ast, and from Canada East to Nebraska and old Fort Caltoun, and then to trace the where- abouts of the son of Leonard Smith’s brother who, as it was seen, was found in Oregon, was the work of about five months, and then nothing remained but to come west and establish the identity of Mr. E.

CAPITOL NOTES, Hiram H. Spruance, auditor of the state of Colorado, was in Lincoln yesterday aud a ealler at the capitol in the morn- ing. Mr. Spruance is a candidate before the republican state convention of Colo- rado that meets Tuesday next for the of- fico of secretary of state, and he hurried home yesterday to keep an eye on his fences. In conversation with the BEee representative tor Spruance smd that had witnessed o very prosperous ye and that a yast amount of building w in progress.

At the time of the trouble two farmers pamed Snockey and Lamb met in Courtland and bad” a dispute, in which Snockey ecalled Lamb bad names and made rough charges against him. In arguing with Snockey on the advisa- bility of his taking back his words, Lamb committed an assault, in which it was shown kioking was a part, and_Snockey was injured in body. For this injury le sued Lamb, who committed the assault, for $1,000 eivil damages, and af and wearisowe hearing of the j ment was rendered against Lamnb for $200 and costs, the latter of which form a snug sum of money by themselyes. Notice of appeal was given, and the case will zo up to the distriet court, and pre- sumably the subreme court before finish, for there is any awmount of bad blood afloat, and the parties seem eager for the fray with testimony of all kinds in the greatest abundance.

UTILIZING THE CORN CROP. The Thrifty Down East Tiller—Tools and Repairs—Spaying Cows for Milk—Various Notes and Suggestions. Tools and Repairs. Cultivator: It must be a very bungling farmer who cannot aflord to e from $10 to $25 worth of shop tools and a good place to keep and use them. The inter est on such an investment will be 1 1t may cost to make a sigle trip to go to get some small but very in 1sable repairing done when harvest is driving, and perhaps several men wait- ing with nothing to do but to figure up how much they will get for the time they are idle. Some men have very lit- tle faculty in the use of tools, but if there are two or three boys in the family there will probably be at least one that will learn to use tools, if he can have them to use. Unless we lived very near a shop we should about as soon think of trying to get along without a plow or cultivator as to get along without a good hammer and monkey-wrench, and yet until mowing machines came’ into general use and wrenches were put in as apart of the out- fit by the mannfacturer, monkey- wrenches were quite rarely found on farms. An old pair of broken-jawed pincers were frequently the nearest ap- proach to a wrench when a nut needed to be taken oft ror dutting a new point to the plow. We know this, for we kave had our fingers pinched many times ty- ing to do just this thing, before good wrenches became common. No farm out fit is complete without two or three saws, a claw-hammer, a_hatchet, some planes, a set of bits and bit-stock, serew driver,a few gimle wls, punches, files of dif. ferent shapes and s, two or three chisels, a maliet and a good work-beneh with vise attached Spaying Cows for Milk.

Hargot Holt in Chicago Heraid: If all people on whom the sunlight of pros- perity has deigned to dawn, there is no one who takes such an entirely serious view of life as the New England farmer.

The story of the lark is a tale of the past; long ago he gave it up as a useless task, and now he is but & myth in pastoral poems; a sub- ject for a stery in words of one syllable— #n example of virtue to youth in the second reader. Like the poor worm, he is a vanquished foe to the farmer, who has won from him all his matutinal glories and his auroral crown. The furmer is nature’s most practical admrer. His acres are his principal, his crops are the interest, and his energy is the per cent, This latter he alone knows how to regulate. He hastens to bed in order that he may hasten to rise; he plods p: tiently, duiifully, serionsly on in the one narrow rut that limits his acres, He knows nothing—cares nothing of the metropolitan affairs that harass the lives of great men in this transitory life fleet- ing; his standpoint 15 immensely sect and satisfactory; he enjoysthe indistinet, sereno view of the rural scoffer, and he gards civie affairs of the moment as trifling compared with 1mproved impli- ments of agrienlture. His spiritsrise and fail as the barometer falls and ri and he never has mnervous prostra- tion. The western farmer bas much to learn; knows it all He b that Chicago is “out west,” her itisoris not west of the Missouri is no concern of hi; The pity he feels for the ungloritied we: tern savage is neither feigned nor dis guised. There is a genuineness to it that makes the uncivitized westeru and the shiftless southerner feel positively un- comfortable. He lends a patromzing car to ineredible tales of electric light and cable car systems, and he believes them not. He moves on the even tenor or his chase with the lark and 1s content.

The regular expo:tation of dressed beef from Texas to England will begin this month. Phe first vessel is to be loaded at Galveston. One of the greatest difficulties in rais- ing is the judicious selection of the male. Henee 1t is good %uli y to purchase one that has been well tried.

There are millions of dollars annually lost in thiscountry by not proverly curing and feeding the fod der and stalks, IU1s a very usual thing to notice shocks of corn fodder standing in the fields nearly the whole winter, ex- posed to the rains and snows, and grad- ually losing its nutriment, but wh might be saved and utilized by #he stalks being properly stacked undeyr” shelter or stored in the barn.

In cases where straw had been cut into short lengths and fed with hay and ground grain, the straw was found of great value, it taking the place of more expensive materia and giving as good results, The use of coarse and bulky materials does not depend wholly upon their nutritive value, but upon the assistance rendered by such foods in distending the stomach, and as- ing to digest the concentrated foods, sucn as grain and oil-cake . Both straw and cornfodder can be put to valuable use. The habit of allowing cattle and sheep to pick ofl the blades from the stalks permits of a great waste from trampling, and there is no economy in it. By passing the straw and fodder (including the whole stalk) through a fodder cutter, amd the cut food fed regu- larly atv particular periods, it will be highly relished and whole will be consumed. More espec will this be theease if the cut food 15 moistened and ned with ground grain, such as nieal or bran, and a little salt. Fed in this manner the ground grain will supply that which may be lacking in the bulky food, but the whole will make a better food than eitner alone, while the saving1s being able te utilize the fodder and straw will amount to an important item, It is not to be inferred that the and fodder stould be used entirely. Hay should also be fed, as well as roots. It s the variety of food that keeps the stock healthy in _winter, as variety promotes digestion. For breeding stock, such as maresand ewes, such a diet is better than too much grain, It is not necessary to have the animals very fat unless intended for the butcher.

The age of a cow has much to do with her value as a milker. A cow with her first calf never milks as well as with her third or fourth one, and for wdairy ani- mal, as a rule, is unprofitable. For this reason care should be taken .in buyin, cows for the dairy to obtain those witl their second or third calves, not with their first ono. The cost of producing milk is not very thoroughly understood. In fact not ong dairyman out of twenty has any idea of what the milk which he sells costs him and does not know whether ing money or not, This is a lovse way of conduoting a business, but it is the way the dairy business is' generally managed.
