THE OMAHA DAILY BEE TOE CLAM EATERS' CONTEST. Commences on Friday, the First Fish . Day of Summer. HOW THEY ENJOY THEMSELVES. A Jolly Crowd of Good Natured Ne- braskans - Father Morriscy's Peti- uon Against Bishop Bona- cum-—Briefs, 1020 P STREET, LixcoLx, May 80. The annual meeting of the Nebraska Clam Bake association will be held Friday, Satur. day end Sunday, June 1, 3and 8, at Shogo sland, Milford. The arrangements are complete for the greatest gathering in the history of the association, which has grown 10 bo one of the most notable annual outings in the west. At Shogo island, where the bake will be held, nature has provided the most acceptable place for a gathering of that character that could be well devised. The island, comprising several acres of high, dry ground, is well supplied with gigantic forest troes; not a scrap of underbrush can be found on the island, and a handsomo green sward covers the greater part of it. IFrom the hour that the first advanco gaard of the bakers reach the place until the last baker departs homeward, the island is as exclu- sively the association’s as the island of Rob- inson Crusoe was exclusively his own after his somewhat historical shipwreck. Sur- rounding Shogo island is as handsome a sheet of water as can be found in the state. Excellent fishing can be found in these waters, and in addition to the steamer that is turned over for the use of the association, there is an abundence of row boats, all of which aro kept exclusively for the guests, The arrangements for reaching Milford are excellont there being both a morning and afternoon train to the placo, On Sunday the closing day, a special train will bo run for the ac- commodation of the association that will a rive in Lincoln in time to connect with after- noon and evening trains east and west, At the grounds the pavillion tent will accommo- date 100 with sleeping quarters, and the us- sociation has a complote supply of all culi- nary articles required, - The buke will open with a grand fish chowder served at 5 p. m. Friday, and it will be a continuous round of feasting from that time until the close. To supply the camp with raw material two sea turtles weighing 150 pounds each have been rocured, a hulf dozen barrels of clams, a ile supply of oysters in the shell, 100 pounds of blue fish, and last but not least an ade- (uate supply of green corn is en route from e south for the occasion. To tue uninitiated a casual description of the movements of the chiet cook and his as- sistants will not be without interest. A clam that was present atthe last bake opened its shell to observe that nowhere were more competent cooks to be found. A cauldron is swung over a fire and in this fifty pounds of turtle is changed into soup. From that hour on soup can be had at any time in the day or night. A second cauldron, holding about three bushels of clams is placed over a fire and filled with the bivalyes. 1t is covered tightly and steamed for six hours, Bvery evening during the continuance of the-bake " this dish is opened to the guests, and in the closing day the contest to see who can dispose of the greatest number of them takes place. The successful aspirant for the honor is then in the silence of the throng elected president for the ensuing year by a rising vote that is always unanimous, This rather novel method of election explains why General MeBride is President and why he has held the oftice on#two other occasions, But, per- haps the crowning dish of the feast would De voted to the old reliable oyster. Early in the procecdings a pit is dug long and wide aud deep. In the bottom of the pit great flat rocks that have been thoroughly heated are pl on the rocks are emptied two or three bushels of oysters in the shell, and the remainder of the pit is then filled with un- husked ears of green corn. A heavy canvass is then thrown across it and upon the can- wvass a great mound of earth is raised. When eight to twelve hours afterward the pit is opened there is presented to the enthusiastic association a feast such as no mortal in the wild west enjoys outside the membership of the Nebraska Clam Bake association. Gen- aral McBride declares that the present an- nual meeting will be the largest yet attended that the feasting will be royal sion not to be forgotten. PRIEST VS BISHOP. The full text of the petition of Father Mor- risey against Bishop Benacum, as filed in the county court and briefly related in Tur Beg osterday, is as follows: u the county court of Lancaster county, No- braska, Bdward Morrisey plaintiff vs Thomas Bonacum, defendant, Comes now the above named plaintiff and for cause of action states that the defendaut, Thomas Bonacum, is the Catholic bishop of the Lincoln diocese in the state of Nebraska, and as such bishop has the full power w en- gage, employ, contract with and disposo of the work of ' all Catholic priests in his ai- ocese, That the plaintiff is a Catholic priest residmg in the territory of Idaho, United Siates of America, and that on or about the 26th day of March, A. D., 1888, the defe: undertook to employ the plaintiff as pastor a Catholio churoh or parish in this diocese by writing a letter to this plaintiff to come to Lincoln and he would employ hum, a_copy of which is attached to this letter and made part of this exhibit. That in compliance with 1he request this plaintiff came to Lincoln, distance of 1,500 miles, and was put to an ex- pense of $160'in coming to Lincoln and return- ng; that plaintiff has been damaged in loss of time and board to an extent of over $179; that on presenting himself to the said dofendant on the 28th of May and demanding of tho defendant that he fulfill his said con- tract and place the plaintiff in some parish as a Cathiolic priest; that notwithstanding that the plaintif®s papers and credentinls were all right and sufficient, the said def rofused to receive this plaintiff or place in a parish, or give him charge of a Catholic church or other position as a Catholic priest, ®s he was bound to do by said_contract, to the damage of the plaiutiff of $360, but the Plaintift remits from said claim all except the m of $109.99, for which sum and costs of this action he demands judgment. Cassioy & Kinroy, Attorney To this petition the bishop, it is under- 8tood, enters a denial and claims ho,is not in debted to Father Morr and that instead f sending hus papers fivst' for inspection ho rought them in person. The trial of the case will be watched with a great doal of in terest, owing to the prominence of the partics. CITY DRIEFS, The information that & Mothodist bishop is to be located at Omaha or Lincoln by the Mothodist general couference has been largely discussod to-day, and the prevailing opinion {s that Lincoln, with the new Meth- odist university und the practical ceutre of Methodism in the state, should be secured us the home of the bishop.

Pertinent Hints on the Breeding and Feeding of Cattle. Profit From Dairy Cows—Early Po- tatoes—A Story With a Moral ‘arm Notes. Potatoes in Quick Time A eorrespondent furnishes the follow- ing to the New York Tribune “‘It has been my father’s practice during many years to start his early potatoes March 1, causing the crop to mature two or three weeks in adyance of those planted in the cold soil. Take a shallow box that will slide under the kitchen stove, or stand in warm air wherever conven- ient, leaning room enough for a cover in'case of excessive heat. Cover the bottom with an inch of fine moist earth, lay on it cut pieces of potato (eye up- ward) 80 as to cover the layer of earth. Cover the potatoes thus arranged with another layer of soil, and thus fill the box with alternate layers of earth and potatoes. Cover the last or upper layer and level the surface. If the surface gets too dry moisten a little. When ready to plant carry the box to the gar- den, and by taking heed the contents may be turned out entire, easily separ- ated by beginning on one side. When planting do not cover the grass leaves. By comparing your first new potatoes thus hastened with those of your neigh- bor the advantage can be estimated. A Story With a Moral, About seventeen years ago a farmer named Gleason, living northeast of [n- dependence, Towa, one morning found one of his colts dead, and there was cer- tain evidence that it had been killed by some one. The young man supposed to have killed the colt left the country about that time, and very little was heard from him until last fall, when it was learned that he had been converted and had joined the church. A short time ago the young man returned to Buchanan county for a visi' ‘While there he went to Mr. Gleason’s farm, and, meeting that person, said: “I be- lieve you lost a colt several years ago.” “I did,” was the reply. ‘‘How much was it worth,” was the nexb question. “About 880.” “Will this pay for it?” said the visitor, handing out 8100, “Yes, and more t0o,” said Mr. Gleason, handing back $20. The other person took the $20 and departed, starting for Nebraska that day. This is the kind of religion that is needed. Sheep as Fertilizers. An observer states that the best bine- grass in Kentucky is found on farms on which sheep have been kept for many years. A British authority declaresthat the farms in England and Scotland that are the most productive are those on which sheep have been the leading kinds of animais kept, though very small quantities of commercial fertil- izers have been applied to them. The reason appears to be that sheep convert coarse fodder into manvre much better than horses and cattle. ~With the aid of a little concentrated food, like oil- cake, or cotton-seed meal, they will make a rapid gain on a diet of grain, straw and turnips. The profit of kee ing sheep is not to be estimated entirely by comparing the price of the wool and meat they produce with the cost of keep- ing them. The improved condition of the farm must also be taken into consid- eration. The advantages of keeping sheep may be shown in one year or in five years. The profit in" the sheep business is only determined by com- paring the condition of the farm on which they have been kept for many years with that of other places where they have not been kept. The farms in the country that have for a series of years best retained their original fer- tility or increased their productiveness are those on which large numbers of sheep have been kept. The farms in Vermont on which Merino sheep have been kept from the time of their first introduction into the country are val- uable and productive, notwithstanding that the soil was thin and the land stony. In Pennsylvania, New York, northern Ohio, southern Michigan and Wisconsin, the farms on which sheep have been kept continue to produce large crops, and are not mortgaged or advertised for sale. They have not run down like the farms that have been devoted to raising grain for the market. The old farms in Canada that command the highest prices are those on which sheop have been kept from the time they were first occupied., The pastures on them are comparatively free from bushes and weeds, while the soil is firm and productive of the best sorts of g s, A farm on which a large number of sheep have been kept for many years is very desirable for dairy purposes. Succulent Food For Cattle. The only conclusion which we can draw from the experience of feeding milch cows with succulent food and silage, said Prof. Lloyd in his paper at the British diary conference, is, that the water that cxists naturally in a vegetable tissue has a special effect upon the animal, and can not be ad- equately repluced by water drunk in the usual way. In my opinion, it seems that in vegeiable mafter there is an in- timate union between this water and the chemical combination. What this union or chemical combination is can not yet be said, In mineral substances we known that water can_exist in intimate chemical union entirvely different from water, which is merely mixed with tha substance, and we may argue, by analogy that there may be a similar two- fold condition of water in vegetable substances. Whether this be so or not the fact remains that a vegetable as grown acts very differently food to that vogetable first dried and subsequently mixed with an amount’ of water equal to that which had been taken away. After a caveful consideration of the feeding experi ments hitherto conducted it scems to me that the succulent foods which have contained the greatest proportion of water have proved the most valuable for dairy cattle and this is apparently the chief cause why, in the experiments of Mr. I, N. Edwards and subsequently of Sir John Lawes and Dr. Gilbe mangels have proved superior to sila In dry matter the two diets were simi lar, but the mangels contained eighty pounds of succulent water, the silag only forty pounds, Harrow Young Corn, The best way to keep a cornfield clean is to begin dragging it before the corn comes up, or just before it breaks through the ground, withadrag having slim and slanting teeth, Such dra are generally lighter than those used for harrowing in grain., DBegiuning thus carly,the whole surface is stirred so that no grass or Weeds are able Lo get a start even in the cornhill, The scason ermitting, this Oragging should he ]\-‘I)( up once or twice a week till th corn is five or six inches high e ad- vantage of dragging is that you getover a large teld in a short time, for the drag sweeps soveral rows at vice, aud it | cloane the grass from the hilla as from the open spaces. It does not destroy the corn plant, because the tecth are slender and slant back. To one who has never seen it done It may seem liko ruin, but [ have noticed ‘that those who onece try it always keep it up. After this we cultivate only in the open rows, and by throwing the soil in among them, thus covering up any grass or weeds that may want to star Profit From Dairy Cows. It is a pretty good native cow that will make 300 pounds of buttor a yenrs averaging seven pounds per week for nearly ten months of that time. If the butter can bo sold for 20 cents per pound it gives a_larger average profit per acre for the land required to keep the cow than can be got from grain growing at present prices. If throe acres are required to feed acow through the year, this is $20 an acre profit, leav- ing skim milk for the pigs and manure from the cow to pay for the labor. But there are ways to greatly increase this profit. With fodder corn as a basis for she ration and the purchase of wheat, bran, corn meal and other meals as ac- cessories, a cow may be kept most of the year on little more than an acre. Better still, by the addition of improved blood the tow may be bred to produce much more of both milk and butter per year, Examine clogely the records of both milk and butter of the Holstein- Eriesian stock and determine if this be not the true road to success. Girls on the Farm. In a paper read before Pomona grange Jefferson county, Pa., Mrs. James Mo- Cracken asks: “Is it presumption to allego that if the girls could be convineed that in a life upon the farm there is so much comfort, pleasure and independence as may be found in the homes of men in other callings in life, they would be willing to leave the farms o} their fath- ersonly to become matrons in rural homes of their own: and farmers’ boys would be as slow to leave their horses and their plows to seck for pleasure and fortune in the city as o whale would be to start upon an overland route from Maine to California, I"armers, a8 a rule, think that girls do not need as much education as boys, but a greater mistake could not be made. Make education practical, sen- sible, and not a mere vapor—a thiup{ that 'withers upon leaving school, and dies away with marriage. I claim they should not only be educated in school but taught how to do domestic work. Teach them how to keep heuse; and, upon leaving the. parental roof, to take charge of homes of their own their girl- hood training will be readily traced through every department which comes beneath their supervision. No sensible and educated young man will marry a girl whose education and early training have been such that she must necessari- ly hang asa dead weight upon his arm as he moves onward and upward in ociety and position in life. Sheep With Other Stock. Professional sheep growers seldom turn sheep into a yard with other stock, says the Indiana Farmer. They have learned by experience that it does not pay. In the case of high-priced blooded stock it has sometimes been pretty dear cx}mricnce. The farmer who keeps but a few shoep and has never made a special study of the business cannot do better than to tollow the example of those who have; yet we notice that it is the almost invariable custom with such farmers to allow their sheep to take their chances among the mixed stock of the common yard. In most cases they areobliged to get their living from the straw- stack, or rick of hay, around which var- ious horned cattle hold sway. Many of the more timid of the flock will go hungry before they jeopardize themselves by crowding in to get a small share of the common feed. Unless a sheep iskilled outright, the owner is seldom aware of an_injury when it occurs. [t is a matter of great wonder to him, however, that he has no more lambs from so many ewes. Look- ing at the matter understandingly it is a great wonder that he has any, or that half his ewes remain alive, It Costs but little to have an extra yard for the sheep opening off their own pen or house. A few feet of lumber and a few hours’ time can well be expended here. The man who makes proper provision for his sheep in this way is not the man who says: “There ain’t no profit in sheep, anyway. I just keep a few to ea up the odds and ends, a farmer re- marked to the writer only a few days ago. Farm Notes.
