business for All

+ For Military service, and to be deliv-
cred at Fort Kearney, the Quartermaster
is advertising by written post bill, stuck
up at the Fort, for seven hundred tons
of hay contract to be let August LIST,
and hay to be delivered in two months
thereafter-ive hundred tons at the Fort,
and two hundred tons within fifteen miles
of there. Now, although the post bill
intimates that this ~stupendous contract
is all to go in a lump, still we would ad-
wise our neighbors to put in bids for so
to 100 tons, and We have no doubt, but
that with our facilities for doing this
work at the lowest rates, some of the
contracts may be secured.

weather, Crops, SC.

Crops are suffering severely in this re-
gion for want of rain, and should we
fail to get some good showers soon, the
harvest Of corn and roots will be exceed
ingIy light. Vines are doing finely, and
the small pieces of wheat, rye, oats, and
barley, sown to test the capacity Of our
soil for cereals, are abundantly fine and
heavy. This Is doubtless the best wheat
growing region in Nebraska, and that
grain will be the staple product here,
which will not only supply all that may
be necessary for military and emigrant
supplies, but eventually, vast amounts
may be shipped by railway to feed the
thickly populated East, Tho waters of

SEED CoRN.-We recently noticed an
article in an exchange showing how a
farmer saved his seed corn, and prepared
it in such a that squirrels and
other vermin did not modest it. 'Twas
thus-he gathered the first ripe ears, the
highest, and rs often as practicable when
two ears grew on one stalk, braided it
up and hung it in his smoke house, and
put on Il moderate smoke for several
weeks. Seed thus preserved is said to
make n perfect stand, and is never de.
stroyed by birds, squirrels or Insects
1t is certainly worth a rrial-let our far
mers remember it.

Last week there occurred in our set.

chase for large game. The buffalo
arc generally scattered throughout
this region. and have been for some
time, and numbers have been taken.
At Boyd's, a huge, ugly looking fel.

and, wddng in. helped himself boun.

A few miles above, on the Platte
and Wood Rivers, there are nero
herds. Across the river, il is said,
they are coming over from the Repub-

many furnishing for food or water
whilst making for the Platte for
drink they are frightened back by
emigrants and travellers, yet make
immediate efforts to gain the water
but are again driven back by the e
port Of firearms, and, we are told,
many thus perish before they reach
water.

Mr.. Babbitt is the editor OF the Bugie,
and owner of a small store of goods in
Council Bluffs, doing business under the
