Farming Without Means.

The following from the Omaha Re-
publican shows what chance poor
mon have to get rich in the North
west, both in Iowa and Nebraska
Where there is a will there is always
way, and there is no excuse for any
man herabouts dying poor if he does
not want 10.
To every man acquainted with No
braAka the fact il we'll known that
farming is an extraordinarily profit
able occupation in the State. Such
is the history Of the agricultural com
munity OF Nebraska The Nebraska
City Press cites one of the many thous-
ands of which illustrate this fact -
"Charles Crowl went on Il tract of
land Of one hundred and sixty acres,
five years ago without sufficient mon
ey TO enter as a Homestead, (Sl4) as
he was compelled to file under pre-,
emption law.
He has now one hundred and forty
acres IN cultivation, and has bought
forty acres in addition to the one hum
dred and sixty acres, which he home
steaded four years ago Last year
he 500 bushels of wheat, four
hundred bushels of oats and two thou
sand FIVE hundred bushels Of corn,
which must have returned him net
profit OF not less than 1900
This year he has sown eighty acres
of wheat and planted twenty-five
acres Of corn. Mr.. Crowl, after five
years labor, finds himself owner of
one hundred and sixty acres of AS
good land as can be found in any
country, and may, in fact, be called
a rich man, the entire original cost of
which was $14. This is only one
among thousands Of Instances that
might 10 cited to illustrate The adj
vantages that mi ght be derived from
the Homestead law, law that was
fought to the bitter end by every
Democratic leader in the land, bat
nevertheless was passed in spite Of
them, exclusively for the benefit eff the
poor, and in this State there is yet
room for thousands to come and get
homes without money aud without
price.
