BURT COUNTY'S BROAD ACRES Fertile Fields and Verdant Meadows of One of the World's Garden Spots. SHOWN BY THE ASSESSORS WEALTH Teatnres of the Country— 1 nal Experi- s of Some of the Men Who Have Made Their Th enc Hom Burt county was organized in 1834 and named in honor of Hon, Fraucis Burt, Ne- braska’s fivst govornor. ‘The total amount of tax levied in 1855 was §01.04, tho rate being 7 mills on £13,006. It is one of the river coun ies, is bounded on the south by Washington and Dodge counties, on the west by Cuming, and on the north by Thurston, It contains 612 square miles, 527,000 acres, According to tho 1850 census the population at that time was 6,037, and in 1500 was 11,000, showing an increaso of 4,1 per cent. Accord- ing Lo tho latest Assessors’ returns there uro 1n the county 165,458 ncres of improved lands, exclusive of village and city lots, and of un- amproved lands, 131,021 ace The assessed valuation for 1501 was §1,870,320, and tho net- ual valua‘fon £6,255,900. The next report of the auditor will_show a largo gain in fm- proved acreaze, The total assessed valuation for I was §2,020,866.60,indicating an actual valuation of § 3,4 In 180) tho assessors returned 45,058 cattle, 817 mulos, 630 sheep, 93,104 hogs ana horses. In 1800 there were raisod in tho county 7,084 acres of whneat, acres of corn, 0 neres of onts, s of barley, 401 acres of flax, 200 acres of rye, 311 acres of millet avd s of moadow. The soil 1s exceedingly fertilo and admirably adapted 10 the production of a variety of crops, grain, grass, fruiv and vegetablos, Well culti- vated fields of corn often yield %0 to 100 bushels to the ucre, and (0 ordinary seasons the farmer who dods not gather ifty to sixty bushels per acro thinks be hus a light croo. Burt is u great stock county owing to tho abundanco of hay and graia raised, aud has & largo number of big farm and ranch own- ors who feed largo herds anovally, while a great majority of small farmors foed stock enough to consume tho grain they raiso. Owing to close proximity to market, specu- lutive shippers of stock are unknown in Burt county, cvery farmer and feedor mar- koting his own products direct. The Chi- cage, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaba rail- roud' runs didgonally through tne county from the southeast to northwest, giving the county about forty-tivo miles of road, ou which is located Teknmah, tho county scat, with & population of 2,000, Crig, 800; Oak’ tand, 8003 Lyons and’ Ddcatur, each, 500. Althiough the line of railroad mentioned is the main lino of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapohs & Omabiy, and traverses the county in sich a way as to provide convenicnt depots, it is virtually made a branch, becauso of a diversion of ail through traftic'to the Sioux City & Pacitic on the lowa side of the river. Low Price of Land, There is no county in the state whero land can be bought so near to market with so lit- tle moncy as in Burt. Tte real reason is that only one railroad taps tho country, and on that uo through trafiic, cither passenger or freight is bandled, on that line. Howme seck- ers usually travel'on well known main lines of rond and never think of stopping so near Omaha for cheap lands, and yet thero aro thousands of acres of good unimproved lands in Burt county that can bo bought for 810 to £20 per acre, surrounded by highly improved farms which have made their owners rich. Bosides proximity to a_market, equally as favorable to the Nebraska farmer as Chicago is to tho Illinois agriculturalist, Burt county has an abundarco of timber and water. Four-foot cord wood sells in Tekamah for £3 10 £3.50 por_cord. Last year thero was shipped from Tekaman alono 1,500 cars of bay, most of it goiug to Omaha, Depth of Soil, There are threa kinds of soil in Burt county, known as bottom, beneh and ridge land. Tekamah stands onthe bench land now six miles wost of the river, but formerly only three, the river having receded. Anidea of the depth of the soil may be gained by tho fact that in digging welis cotton wood ~ logs have been discovered twenty feet below the surface, and airt arawn from the bottoin of wells hias produced corn stalks ten foot high. ‘Tne beneh lands are about thirteet fect above the level of the river. ‘Choroaro fields on this beneh land that have been planted in corn for thirty consocutive and in no year yielded less than sixty-five bushels per ncre.” These facts have been gleaned by per- nal interviews with farmers on the streots and at their homes, which is the only to get reliable informatior with regard to farm matters, Foilowing is the testimony of farmers from different parts of the county : Lost 1is Improvements, H. 8. Spielman 1s one of the most success ful old-timers of Burt county, He says: I como to Burt county from Penusylyania, , aud pre-empted @ quarter scction in tion eloven, town twenty-ono Arizona precinet, the following year. To pay for it 1 fired a goverument warrant, issued in favor of Lucy Turner, whose husband was killed iu the war of 1812, for tho use of which I was 10 pay 4 per cent for ono year making, in- torest and all, $280. During the year I built o story and u half log house, 14x18, and stable and broke twelve acres. 1 was unable 10 meet the payment and threo forties in- cluding my improvements were forfeitod, That Jeft o raw forty on which I live today. When I landed hereI had 816 in money und there was ubout $20 charges on some bod- ding which 1 shipped through, so you see 1 was over §2worse off than notning and I only handled $2 in money during the year of 1838, Next mouth it will be thirty vears since I sottled on that forty. I now own 1,440 ncres of s good furm lang as luys out of doors, all in Burt county. The lowest prico L paid for land was £ per acro aud from that up to £16, 1 have bought o plece at a timo along a3 [ could roach ‘it. 1 have mino acres of orchard altogether. I feed from seveuty-fivo to 150 hoad of cattle every year and seil no grain oxcept wheat., 1 be- lieve lack of success in farming is owing to lack of cnorgy and bad management. Last ear my corn went from forty to sixty ushels per acre—well worked fields the lat- ter figure,” Mr. Spiclman’s appearance does not indi- cato that he has put in ali these years of toil, He laughed heartily while describing his first outfit of furniture to your correspond- ent. Said he: "I mado iy first wash tub from a 1og about four feet long, which I shaped into a sort of trough with a 'foot adz, leaving the sides 11, inches thick, My chairs I made out of picces of plank with holes bored and legs driven in and the table was made of boards, but we enjoyed tho tools after & hard day’s work and relished the victuals placed on the rough table,” Paid 60 ier Cent, Mr. H. C. Lydick, residing n Arizona pre- eluct, is one of the largest and most success- ful farmers in Burt county, He came hero June 1, 1557, and_bought his initial farm of 100 acres at the first lana sale held in Omana for .25 per acro and paid 60 per cent of the money. In speaking of it to the writer, he said: “1 bhave nover had the benefit of a pre- emption, howestead or timber claim, but have bought my land at different times and at wvarious prices. I could not tell just how many acres 1 have without consulting the records, but something over 2,000, 1 have made 1t all farmiug and feeding stock, and while I do not think conditions are now quite as favorable for farmers with out means as they were & few yoars 8go, yot thero is no need of industrious, economical farmers mak- ing a falure. In ail tho years I bave been in Nobraska thore has never baen a failure in ©rops in this section of the state. One thing wvery much in our favor now that we did not have a few years age is the Omaba stock market. I find it ahead of the Chicago mar- ket. I have beon guite suceessful in feeding hogs and bave fed cattie for the past eigh- teen years. 1 feed 150 to 200 head every your oud ‘am an equal partner in tho ‘firm of Lydick & Dunlap, which feeds 200 to 400 bhead a year. My corn last ear averaged forty to fifty bushels per acre. fnllnwd petween 700 and 500 apple trees sixteen years ago, and they bave done well 1 would aavise farmers to buy native nursery stock, as it nlnuknw ol trees not suited 10 tho climata.” Mr, Lydick has just re- turned from & xnoulll 5 vhh. 1o friends and | relatives in Illinois, Indiana and Obio, and although he is 8 modest wauy, not given to ex sgeeration, yot ho says the people who once bad coufidénce 10 him seemed to look with suspicion on some of the stories told them bout farw life in Nebrasika, but he thinks if | thes read Tun Ber ana_sco the corrobora- | tions of his story they may yet be couvincod. | Now a Banker, P. Latta, now a banker at ‘Tekamah, camo from eastern lowa to Burt county | twenty -uiue vears ago, landing hore with £1.10-"a §1 bank note and a dime in silver. He now owns 3,000 acres of land, all in Burt county, besides a eroat deal of 'other prop- erty. ~ When asired how ho got startol ho re piled: “Well, 1 hardly know. I am often asked that quostion, bat I worked around o while and saved a little money with which 1 bouzht forty-acres of government land in 1866, breke part of 1t tho same year, aud the yoar following raised a crop on it. The same ear (186%) | bought 120 acres, adjoining and built a little nouse. I bought' but littlo more land until 1850, in which year [ started the Burt' County bank and run it uotil 1860, ‘when I changed it to the First National. Of late ours | havo put most of my time in at the bank. but have farmed and raisod stock ex- tensively every year, 1 keop about five hundzed head of cattio all the time and this year am foeding 260 head. The Omaha mar- ket has boen & groat boon for farmers and small feeders, as it enables them to market their stock direct instead of seiling tospecu- lators, as thoy had to do when Chicago was our market. Most all my farms are well im- proved. | have an 1,800-acre farm between “Tekamah and Decatur which is probably the best {mproved farm in the county. The buildings are good and 1 have an orchard of 200 trees and plenty of small fruit of all kinds. I have 160 ncros of clover and will sow tifty acros more cach year until most of itis soeded down. 1t doos firstrate—is a completo success. Corn, tho present season, averaged forty-five bushels and oats forty. I buy about fiftecu thousanda bushels of corn every year—used to buy more. 1 think that any man who will manage right can make money farming in this conntry, and if he can- not thore is no country under the sun where hocan. The cluss of farmers who do not make it pay aro those who stand around on the streot corners airing their grievanc while thoir cattle and ottior stook goos hun- gry or dry at home. oter Cameron bogan farming operations in Burt county only ton years ogo under cir- cumstances different from many quoted in these columns. The fuct is ho had about £12,000 to begin with, which ho brougiat with him from Wisconsin, whero he lived and fol lowed fivming prior tocoming to Nebraska. Mr. Cameron says: “I first bought a half: section of chioico improved land, probably as good as the county afforded at that time, for §:5 per acre. ITu 1838 I bought 160 ac bottom laud for §1,400 and lust wmore, for which I paid £15 an_acro for 240 acres and $13 for tho othiee 16) acres. The 400 acres, of course, was raw or pasturo land. Laust Svpmmbor I boueght forty acres for §450 cash. At first [ sold some grain and fed somo stock, but of late years 1 feed more grain than | raise, This year myself and son aro feeding 150 hoad of stock. Hogs are very profitablo il 1t weve not for cholera, but solgetimes we lose them all, or nearly all. My corn last season averaged about forty five bushels per acre, soms of it goiug as high as sizty. The yicld was not very good, owing purtly to poor sced. Bariey muae thirty-five bushels per acre and oats forty, I havo 850 apple treos, most of them just be ginuing to bear, and will plant more this spring. I think Burt aud other counties in this part of the state are as good for farming parposes as [ ever saw in any country. 1 have dono well farming hers and seo no reason why I cannot continuo to do well, You ask me if I have uny kick to make with regard to conditions under which farmers are oporat ing in this country. I will say that the great- est objection I havo to offer s that in my opinlon farmers as a class are discriminated agaiust to somo extent by the protective tariff, Thero is one part of iy farming op orations that 1 am proud of and that is that myself and K. A. Templeton are the pioneer clover raisers of this section and we have both made & success of it. Clover will grow heve equal to Ohio, Tllinois orany other stato casiof us. I have 100 acres seeled now und will sow twenty-five more this spring. Last yoar I had seventy-five bushels of seed und this year sixty-four bushels which I sold to neighborsat $5 to § per bushel. Yes, farming pays very well. I cut considerable of my clover seed in ny kog lot. W. W. Latta, W. W. Latta is one of the old timers, set- tling in Burt county in 18557. He now lives in Tekamab in an elegant home with thirt, five acress of door yard. He is the owner of a large umount of property in the city, and 15 largely interested in the bank. Ho is one of the men who made his mouey exclusively by farming and stock raising and bezan at the bottom. By the roquestof the writer he took tho witness stand and deposed as fol lows: I camo here in 1557 with a few dollars in money and a lotof truck that, all told, would !lrnbxu-l_v have invoiced £)). I never took advantage of homestoud, tree claim or vre-emption privileges, but bought my first 160 acres aud went 1o raising hogs and buteh- ering them and hauling the carcasses to Omana. 1 followed that business for several years and hundled hundreds of them, and usually bought another piece of land every time 1 came back fron market, 5o as to tako care of the proceeds. I kept on buying land in small tracts av different times aud various prices until T now bave 4,100 acres, all cither under cultivation or fenced for pasture, I gradually drifted into raising corn and feed ing cattle. Have fed as bigh as 630 or 700 bead u year. Iliko borses and have deait pretty lurgely in that kind of stock. 1 C) on hand at this timo 135 head of borses and six mules. My stock is Percheron. but lately my son went to Kentucky and brought homo somo blooded trotters. I used to raise a ereat deal of whear, but when the price got below $1 I quit it. Wheat used to do well here, but is notso profitabie now. I havenot beéna very ex- travagant improver of land, but have good buildings on several farms, with plenty of orchard aud small fruits, which grow und bear well hero without trouble. This is good a farming country as thero 15 in tho world, and any man, whether ho has means to bogin with or not, who will work and manage well and be content to live cconomically at first, can muke money facming in iurs county. With tho exceptioff of onc year, when tho grasshoppers took our whoat, [ have vever oxperienced o fuilure of crops. For a small puymant auy homeseeker can nc- quire laud here for from £10 §20 per acre, and nave the advantago of the Omaha live stock market at his door; so I consider it an excel- lent place to start, I bad vlenty, of corn last fall that went sixty-five bushels per acre,and thero was about 20,000 bushels raised on my land, bat I bought n groat deal of it bosides. The farmer who does not_succeed here, as & rule, has himself to blame, Sumuel MeMullin, Samuel McMullin owns a farm of 140 acres”™ i Avizoua proc and_eighty acres in Tekamah, He s 'l came 1o this coun- try in 1864, took & homestead tirst and bought afterward. ( had a little money, about $200, 1 paid §33.531¢ an acre for part of my land, and four years ago I paid 825 an nora for 16 eighty in Tekamah precinct. 1t was wild land: no improvements, 1 have good buil ings und orchards on both places. 1 had 120 acres of corn this year that averaged about sixty bushels an acre; thirty-fivo acres of small grain, twelve of which was wheat that went twenty bushels per acre; five acres of oa's, fifty-ono bushels an acre, and tho balanco filty busbeis. I feed some stock and sell somo grain. I bave never made it pay to feed stock 0a & small scale, 1 think to make feeding pay a man should have enougn to amount to somothing. Yes, I raise fruit of all kinds, and it doos well. Grapes bear wonderfuily. 1 have never seen a failure of crops, and you can say tbat I think any man, whether he has capital or not, can make money farming If he conduocts it properiy. The worst drawback we have is the high rates churged by the rairoaas. There aro plenty men here who drive feeders from Omaha rathor than pay the freight, but you kuow those who are farther from market cannot do that, aud are compelled Lo pay ex- orvitant freight charge Made it Farming, Jobn H. Shorte! of Arizona precinct came to Burt county in Juve, 1857, with & horse team, which was considered 'a big start in the world iu those days. He pre-empted his fivst 160 aeres by biriug & warrant at 40 per cent, and was lucky enough to seil a forty ar # an acre to pay it with, He has improved aud sold several farms and still owas 443 acres, well improved.
