William Harld® 1s the name of a. young wan from Gage county, Neb., who is just re- covering from a dificult surgical operation. Harlock was severely injured in a runaway nccident about threo months ago. His left leg was badly smashed below the knee, both bones being broken. When the fracture was reduced the work was improverly done, and the bones failed to unite as they should. The young man was removed to this city to have the operation of rescction performed. This is nothing mo: @ nor less than breaking the bone over again in order that 1t may be prop- erly set, 1t was necessary to cut oven the flesh, and the bone was sawed in two. Parts of it'h ad become dead and had to be taken out The ends had to bo chiseled and catto re- move all of the dead portion, and the ends were then fastenad together with silver wire passed through holes drilled in the bone. It required over an hour to complete the operation and stitch up the cuts, Har- lock was under the influenc of ether during that time, but stood the ordeal splendidly, and 18 now getting along s nicely as could be desired. 'The operauion was peformed by Drs. F. P, and M. J. Bellinger of this city and Drs. . R. Grang and J. St. Clair, two well known surgeons of Omuha. Young Harlock has had no use of the limb sinze the accident, but it will now heal and be re stored to its normal condition. which would not have been the case but for this skillful operation, e S.

Iwrote it in common fractions, because I had my doubts about Nebraska mathematicians being able to read it correctly, but even then ypu put my frac- tion 1 as & whole number. The amount I wrote you was 20,015 and 3931000 square feot. The amount to be deducted from a circle wath a radius of 100 feet is the arca of the euclosed piece, viz, 795 72i-1000 square feet; also a piece the shave of the new moon off the enclosed circle opposite the point where the horse is tied, which con- tains exactly 1,604 and 83-100 square feet. That is the amount which the rope would snorten when he fed around the enclosure, and 1,004 88.100 plus 795 727-1000 must be taken from the area of the larger circle, is 81,416 square feet, leaving 29,015 1000 square feet. Mr. McMonles is 1n error, as he has not allowed for the short- ening of the ropn i going around the en- closure, and he is in error about the number which the square of the aiameter must be muluplied by, It is pot 3.1416:10000, but 7854-10000 it he wishes to find the area, J. B, RHOADES, WiLneR, Neb,, Feb. 10.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: In reply to the question: *Who can aunswer it?’ I give the folowing answer: The horse can graze on 50,225 and 773.1,000 feet of land. The Jowa gentlemun evidontly made the error ip his decimal point. Kven thon he is not correct. FRED HERMAN. TiLoEN, Neb., Fab, 19.—To the Editor of Tne Bee: Will you allow me, to suggest an answer to the problom from Madison! As I figure:it, thero is a space in the larger circle which equals two triangles, whose base is 11 1-12 feet, and an_altitude cqual to one- fourth the circumference of the larger cir cle, over which the horso canuot graza. Sub- tract the area of these two triaugles from Mr. MoMonies' auswer and you have 23,879 and 97-100 square feet.

Mr, C, E. McMonies does not seem Lo realize the fact that on one side of the small enclosure the horse can move with a radius of 100 feet, but the moment he crosses a line tangeot to the point at whion he is tied the rope will not allow the animal to move 100 feet from the starting point measured in a straight line; when the horse moves one-fourth of the distance around the enclosure at the length of his rope be only nas seventy-five feet of rope left and be certainly cannot reach out the same distance in all directions from the point at which he is tied, J. 8.

OF INTERESI'T0 THE FARMER —— Present Low Prices Should Not Dis- courage Stock Raisers. -.— i ADVANTAGES OF THE INDUSTRY. The Necessity of Organization Among Farmers—Poultsy Raising In the City—Clovor for Hogs—An Ex- traordinary Cow. Stock Farming. The present is an unfavorable time to speak to the average stock mer of the encouragement of stock farming, says o writer in the Western Agriculturisy and Live Stock Journal, Speak to him of its drawbacks and he is with you right away. The experienceof late years makes him thoroughly at home with the latter aspects of the subject, while those of the former are dim with the lapse of time. ‘*‘Once upon a time,” stock rais- ing puid a fair dividend for labor and capital invested in it, but, unless with one exception, it does not now and has not for quite & number of yeuars. Choice butchers’ caitle are a drug on the market at 2 cents per pound, with much selling even lower than that, while old inferior stock can spractically be disposed of at vo price. Good feed- ing steers have been selling at $3 cwt premium, all fall, realizing from #25 to $30 for $-year-olds which a few years back readily brought twice vhese figur e: The top vrice ched with us for shippieg steers has been $1 per cwt, and few bunches commanding even that, while, at the same time the price of beef to the consumer keeps vigor- ously up, with no preceptible sign of weakening And the hog market—the main source of the farmer's cash —is quite ruinously low—*"flat,” in short. Fat hogs selling but a few years since for 5and 6 cents per pound are now slow at $3.25 per cwt., and only medium weights can command that. Stockers, owing to a temporary scarcity, are in better de- mand, but likewise low. Sheop are low likewise and in slow demand, and with a better price for wool than some years back, puy but a small mavrgin, if any at all. Besides these drawbacks many farm- ers urge a lack of capital; that our im- proved breed are fast crowding out the common nativas; that “'it taces money” to purchase these improved bloods for breeders, and that when obtained, through delicate rearing, they require extra care, accommodations and feed, sting still further outlay of capital. And their complaiat 15 not altogether without foundation. But dark s is the, cloud resting upon the stock farming, it has its silver lin- ing. If stock is low and in slow demand nearly all markets s pressed in the case w The only recourse for the farmer 1s to combine grain and stock farming, mak- ing the one supplement the other, by feeding his grain, There is a margin of profit between cost of feed and feed- ing, even at prevailing prices, and this margin tte farmer must save to himself or perish. By feeding to hogs, a bushel of corn can be turned into ten pounds of pork or .made to realize about 35 cents, When it is considered that fully half of this weight may be made up Of green feeds and cheaver cereals, the protit at once becomes evident. Sheep respond even more liberally to their feed than swine. His coat is gen- erally estimated to fully pay for his keop and - his increase is clear profit. More than this, dividends are paid semi-annually—his wool in the spring, when he has no longer use for it, and his increase in the fall—both falling when generally most needed by the farmer. The increase of 100 ewes, al- lowing a liberal per cent for losses, will, even at present prices, foot up $250 to $300 a year, and may be reckoned almost clear profit. While it may look hke Aying in the face of factand figures to assert any- thing encouraging in the cattle. busi- ness at present status, the signs are very encouraging. There isno class of stock that responds more liberally for feed and care than cattle; no class of stock that have built up more fortunes —mado more prosperous favmers, In- deed Ican think of no wealthy farmer in my vicinity, but who directly ov in- directly, laid the foundation of his pros- perity in cattle. But the one class of stock which has defied depression is horses—the draft horse. While all other stock has been low, with a downward tevdency, these have held their own as to price and de- mand. Infact the demand has exceed- ed the supply—no over production reaches them. Not only is the home demand for farm and city good but eyery winter and spring every town is Rluclll'dml announcing the coming of orse buyers who buy for foreign mar- kets. These buyers pay all the way from $125 to $225 spot cash soon as trade is consummated. At the same time our farmers are overstocked with roadsters and mongrel horses which they are ready to sell at 885 to $100, but find no buyers. When it is considered that these horses may « be brought to the age of three with little outlay but what grass and fodders they can eat, after which they will pay their way in work, the great encouragement to stock farming, in so far as horses are con- cerned, becomes apparent. A few good brood mares, served by any of the full blood drafts, and whlc{x will pay their way in harness pesides raising, one cach, of those nedy-sale colts, is the wisest and best piying 1nvestment a man can make of ‘hi§ money on a farm. As with horses, 6o it is with all other classes of stock; the'encouragements to stock farming 1id in our improved bloods. While depnessed with the other class of stock, it has never, whether hogs, sheep. cattle or horses, reached the ruinous !)ricun of the other, but has been and is in !ul‘-‘?tzmnnd at fair prices. The poor quality of stock does not, has not and never will pay., What class of horses does the market demand? [s it the scrub—slow sale at three years of age for 875—or the' high grade, selling readily for fully twjce that price? What cattle have been ‘;{ilne top of the mar- ket—a medium ofinearly 5 cents—in Chicagoall summer; while the bulk sold for from $1.75 to 2,50 per hundred? It was our Herefords, our Holsteins, our shorthorns and other improved breeds, either high grades or full bloods. Aud in the dairy: while the scrub cow, although giving a good flow of milk, yields but about 150 pound of butter ‘annually, a high grade or full blood Jersey will average six pounds per week or 240 pounds per year—a difference of ninety pounds weight, to say nothing of a prewium in price. While a scrub heifer is slow sale at $15 to #20, yearling past, high grade Jer or Holstein uefi readily at #25 and $30, the difference being more remarkable when you come to pure bloods, heifers selling at $75 aud bullocks, year.l(ngl, at $40 10 $45, While the hog market has been sin- gular this year, in the demond for light or medium weighted over very heavy, BLACK PEERLESS COATL.

And it is, and has been our common leggy, light careass sheep of three or four pound flecces that have glutted our sheep market and brought the low prices. The plea that this kind of stock is be- yond the reach of the average farmer, owing to high pricesasked for broeders, is no longer tenable. The day of fancy prices for bull, or boar, or ram is passed, and our best stallions have come within the reach of any fore- handed farmer, or enterprising neigh- borhood. If no one farmer isable to purchase a pure blood stallion, let his neighbors join him and the task is ac- complished. He must be had if we would make horse breeding successful. A good bonr may now be had of the best breeders for from $15 to , some sell- ing as low as $10. A good ram can be purchased for as low as $25 and upward to #50 and $100, nccording to breed and circumstances of sale. A good bull can be purchased, while a calf, for $40 or #3(0, price ranging upward with age of animal. An exorbitant price and an endless pedigree 1s not needed to com- stitute a good and valuable breeder; a happy medium where price and excel- leneo combine in an animal is good enough and within reach of the entor- sses, s class of stock is more ten- der, requires moro feed n nd care. is equally foundationless. They can be made “to “‘rough it” about as well as rubs, paying about as good a profit. v vhe majority of farmers begin to see that it pays to care for all kinds of stock, the hardy scrub returning liber- y for alittle extra care. This same exira care given to our improved stock is returned many fold more and there- fore are the class of stock to be bred for this very reuson. An KExtraordinary Cow. George W. Kirker, who lives nine miles southwest of Delano and two miles cast of Poso, has a cow that takes the bakery for milk and butter, and shows just how profitable the dairy business is in this section, says the De- lano (Cal.) Courier. Mr. Kirker has kept a close account with her cowship for a year past, giving her credit for ali the milk and keeping account of all butter sold. The sales of the year amount to $115, which is proof enough of the profits. The cow is a full-plood Jersey. Clover for Hogs. A Vernon (In.) correspondent of the Rural New Yorker writes: ‘I cannot quite agree with Dr. Henry Stewart when he says that clover is indispensu- ble as an early spring feed for pigs. If one can change his pasture every few years from one fleld to another, then clover is best; but il owne, like myself, must have a permanent pasture, then blue grass is the best. My hog pasture is most blue grass with some white clover and timothy. Pigsare fond of all these if they are fed short. My pigs this year were furrowed in April and sold about Christmas time. The aver- age weight was 447 pounds each. This will show how well ~pigs will thrive on such a pasture. Of course, no one will suppose that such heavy-weights are ob- tainea on grass alona. A little corn all the time and some milk greatly assist the pigs to make double-quick time. During the months when they are graz- ingand racing up and down a large pasture, a hulf-feed of corn does not make them sick; neither does it make them unhealthy. I cannot vouch for the best treatment for pigs in the south- ern climate for which Dr. Stewart wrote; but why will not colored Virginia pigs thrive on part ear-corn as well as colored Virginia boys do on hoe-cakes? And why cannot Virginia produce good corn cheaply? Ishould try hard to find some concontrated choap feed to use in part for pigs in clover. I am pleased to learn that Henry Stewart agrees with me as regards the use of sweet corn. Organization Among Farmers. STRATTON, Neb., Feb. 18.—To the Editor of THE B Seeing there are ot many favmers writing for thoir de- fense I would like to wake them up. There are some writingon farming who know a fanm only when they see one; who never lived on a farm, butat the same time they tell us what we ought to do to make farming pay. They are t00 nice to live in the country, but live in a town or eity, and hire their work done, going buack and forth to their farms. % Now, what we farmers want is an or- ganization to stand by one another, and secure more farmers for our lawmakers and fewer lawyers and railroad men, build elevators and have laws passed against trusts and_gambling in farm products, How did *Old Hutch” of Chicago make his money? Did he make it by the sweat of his brow, or did he make it gambling? The railroad mag- nates and the gamblers are the ones that are making the money now off the farmers and the laboring men. I be- lieve THE OMAHA BEE i8 on the farm- ers side. It ought to be, for I think it is taken mostly by the farmers and working people. vflv'h_v not have o com- munication every week from the farmers? Now, I think when the Farmers’ Alliance unite with the Knights of Labor they will go to the rocks for the Knights of Labor have themselves gone to rack and are looking for a stronger organ- izution to keep them up, - . J. RICHARD, Poultry for Prizes and Profir. To the Editor of Tne Beg: There are few, who with a little labor and care, could not have a plentiful supply of fresh eggs or a nice fowl to cook when needed if they choose to take the trouble to raise them, Some will say it is necessary to have a barn or etable to have any success with fowls, while others will tell you that the{ can buy all the egzgs ~and chickens they need at the butchers or grocers. My experience has led me to differ with the latter. IEverybody knows the price we have to payif we wish to buy a chicken, (an old rooseer) and how pleased we sometimes are when finding that out of tive dozen of nice fresh country eggs, at least twenty-four are rotten. 'ghe reason that more do not keep fowls is that they never tried it, and have voncluded that it cannot be done, and as the people have no other means of getting poultry other than buying what 18 on the market, they aro often compelled to buy poultry which is diseased and really not fit to eat. Let us take the case of a farmer who seldom if ever thinks of providing a warm place for his fowls, but lets them hoe for themselves, From constant ex- posure to cold and wet, they get the roup, which, if not cured, becomes fatal, and in this diseased state part of this man’s poultry is shipped to the city to be sulr The farmer knows npothing about roup. He thinks it is the cholera when he finds them dead about his barn, Now if oue bird has the roup, the entire | ouhly satisfied with 1t i point of heat, 6 on- omy and cleaniiness. | 1t jelven off 1iE1o Sma ke, leaves little ashes and {ew clinkers, HENRY BISEMAN & Co. ,We have used several hundred tons of Black Poerless Coal during the winter for boller and 1 H. BIRKINBINE Fruits and Commission, 347 flock will take it unless steps aro taken to cure it. The commission man dom has time to notice thut the fowls are sick. So the real suffers are ,the people who pay fol poor stuff. To remedy this evil would it mnot be advisablo for the farmer to subscribe for a try journal, at least one ye himsel od poul- . and post He would fina_more profit in this depurtment with better faction to the consumer. ‘u are some good journals published. Mere are a few: The Americaun Poult Journal, Chi- engo: The Panciers’ Gazette, Indianap- olis, Ind., and The Poultry Monthly, Albany, N. Y. The largest varieties are best for cities ns they are satisfied with a small space. 1 would recommend the follow- ing; Light Brahmas, Dark Brahmas, Black Cochins, White Cochins, Part- ridge Cochins, Plymouth Rocks and game fowls. The most of these fowls will weigh from eight to thirteen pounds each. If you have not a burn procure a largedry goods box,cuta door in one end and ~put a roost across the full length. To make it more home- like you can put a slanting roof on it, fix neat bo: along one side with small doors so that you can get the eggs without disturbing the fowls from the outside. When your house is on four posts, say three feet from the ground, and board up three sides under the house. This \vi{l give the birds a nice shade for hot days. To complete the enterprise put a lath fence, or bet- ter still, wire netting around the space you wish to give them. I may add that I had better success with a place of this size with a few fowls then I had raising many in large quarters. It is a great pity there are not more poultry fanciers in and about Omaha. There 18 no reason why we should not have an annual poultry show in con- nection with vhe Omaha fair. Let fan- ciers respond and we will have a good poultry club and show by next fair day. REHAM. e A Bellboy's Keen Ear. ‘“Ihere 18 a young man who has a re- markable gift.” The speaker wasa hotel clerk and his observation was ad- dressed to a reporter of the Rochester Heruld. As he spoke he nodded his head in the direction of a bellboy who had just come up to answer a call on the indicator. The reporter had no- ticed that the young man called out the number of the room as soon us the bell rang, and when he was away over on the opposite side of the rotunda at such a distance from the indicator that he could not possibly have distinguished the figures on the tag that had dropped down. The newspaper man was mysti- fied and wgquired how the bellboy knew the room that the call came from with- out seeing the number exposed. It was then that the clerk made the remark attributed to him. = *That boy,” he continuéd, “‘knows the call from every room 1n tkis house simply by the sound of the bell. When you think that there are more than two hundred bells in the hotel,in asmany different rooms, all sounding alike to the orvdinary listener, his keenness of hearing seeins wonderfal. But it is a fact, and I do not know that he ever made a mistake in calling out the number of a room when he had heard its bell ring.” R Eggs in Storage Not Wholesoms, Eggs ave said 1o become unwholesome’ when kept in refvigerators; a fungus forms in them which is easily found by the microscope, although it is not no- ticeable to the taste, says the Hospital. This fungus constitutes a danger when we consider how many eggs are con- sumed by all classes of society, and peo- ple of delicate constitutions ought to be particularly careful thut they eat fresh, and not kept, eggs. =) SPECIAL NOTICES, couNoIL BLUFFS.
