Many people seem to imagine that
it is cheaper to print all of a paper
at home than to have a portion of il
published in some eastern city where
they print many thousand copies
with the same reading matter, where
they have presses that will print
twenty papers to our one. There
are many other reasons for their
being enabled to print at lower
rates than we can but we trust this
will serve to remove this erroneous
impression from the minds of our
readers. All the reading matter in
the papers having patent outsides is
materially the same, all being COM
piled from the eastern papers; thus,
any one taking an eastern paper and
one of these papers, only half OF
which being printed at home, gets
the same news in one as is contained
in the other. We print both sides
OF the Item ourselves because it
gives better satisfaction to bur read
ers and advertisers and to keep pace
with the rapid growth of our county.

A young preacher on his first
charge received q donation, to be
put on salary according to the usual
custom. Among the effects were an
old horse and buggy. The divine
was most highly pleased with them
so he concluded to 60 and see his
father. The old gentleman was not
80 easily imposed IN as the boy.
John droye up into the yard with
great gusto.' The father looked al
the animal and then at John. "John,
where did you get that horse ?"
queried the father. "Why, father,
my parishioners gave it to me-" The
old gentleman laughed mysterious
ly. "Father, l don't think you
ought to make fun of that horse. II
is a good deal better m than our
Savior rode into Jerusalem on over
eighteen hundred years ago..
"Well," replied the father, 81 don't
know, John ; l think it was the same
old horse."-Methodist Protestant.

Milton lived i'm q time when
"~learning" was held of more account
than original gifts, and IL was at IL
years Of age that he entered upon
that system of self development
which was to prepare him for the
great work he believed himself des-
tined to achieve. When q boy OF
IL, he seized learning, he tells US,
with such eagerness that he scarcely
ever went TO bed before midnight /;
and there is no sweeter picture than
that called TO mind by Aubrey Of
the little enthusiast porting over his
books at midnight while the family
are asleep and the maid servant 10
sitting up for him. As q natural
consequence, when he was, at Is,
sent to st. Paul's School, he had
not-for accomplishments, and per-
haps for scholarship-an equal of
his own age in England. And when
two years later, he went to Cam
bridge, it is no wonder the young
men were startled by the advent of
this peculiar kind of a student, with
his fair hair, brilliant CO .lplexion,
and lustrous eyes, Of that ,ae which
at one moment is called sfay, at an
other blue. Though his features
were, perhaps, wen then serious,
they were of perfect symmetry.
while his courageous looks, bis 1.-the
figure, erect, and Of about the mid
die height, seemed to indicate ex.
actly the kind of youth needed at
Christ's in the frequent town and
gown "rows." II very soon became
evident, however, that his appear
ance belied him. He was a good
~swOrdsman undoubtedly, but be had
no leisure to exhibit his skill he
was given to late hours, but it was
to rob from his sleep time for study
ing all sorts of subjects in all sorts
Of tongues. In short, his habits and
morals were eccentric /; the first be.
ing most sbsteminous, the second
most virtuous.-7he Athenaeum.

The Rtsht IHsne for Piow ing.

There still exists a difference oil
opinion among Western farmers IN
regard to the advantages OF fall
blowing. Some maintain that early
spring blowing is preferable to late
fall blowing. This is q matter that
each farmer must settle for himself.
No positive rule a be laid down
Seasons differ so much in regard to
wet and dry ; soils differ so much in
respect to their composition; the
crops to be sown or planted are so
various, and their demands upon the
soil SO ualike, that nothing but the
good sense and practical knowledge
Of the farmer himself can determine
his choice as to the best advantage.
Fall blowing succeeds best with
certain kinds of soil under certain
conditions. Spring blowing is best
for certain other soils under other
conditions. The great difficulty in
this matter is not in determining
the best time for blowing, but lies
chiefly in finding time to pillow when
the land is in the best condition.
The judgment of many farmers leans
strongly toward fail blowing, but
being closely pressed with other
work which they say must be done
the judgment must give way TO the
necessities of the case, and so the
blowing rs deferred TO the early
spring. But when early spring
comes the necessities Of the cas- still
press hard upon the farmer; other
Jobs must be finished before plow-
ing commences. So, as q matter OF
fact, neither fall nor spring blowing
10 done in the proper season, and
the crops are apt to suffer from this
fatal defect of never being ready 10
work at the right time. We do not
suppose that this defect can ever be
cured. IL is transmitted from Adam
TO bis posterity. 1t is visited upon
the children of more than the third
or fourth generation. However, the
farmer who has the will and the
energy to keep abreast of the times
will pillow In the fall those fields
that will be benefited by fall plow-
ing, and he win leave till early
spring those fields whose soil and
condition are most favorable for
spring blowing. The best and most
successful farmer, will, in some way,
make it possible to plow and plant
exactly at the right time. In doing
90 he shows his energy of character
rs well as his superior WISDOM
Spirit Of Kansas.

Some Sensible Advice 20 Busi'
mess Men. :

A great many Of our merchants
are good advertisers, from the fact
that they carry on a business, both
wholesale and retail, which enables
them to use printers ink to quite an
advantage. They are liberal, and q
liberal man is easily duped and mis-
led at a time when trade is good and
the inspiration of a temporary boom
is at its zenith. This lie the very
moment when the tramp canvasser
crosses the business threshold and
unfolds q scheme" for advertise
ment on the first page Of some
"snide" directory or guide that will
enable the merchant TO make of the
name of his firm q house Did word
that will be more familiar to the
children even than that of the family
watch dog. We have no objection
to any Legitimate channel of adver-
Using, but when the oily-tongued
'tramp" comes along, who is too
lazy TO work and too cowardly to
steal openly, it is time to put in q
word OF caution. Papers are legiti-
mate mediums through which legit-
innate business should be advertised.
That course helps two enterprises
jointly, and a live town can't live
long without live newspapers. So
we say to our merchants and BUSH
ness men generally, if you intend to
invest o dollar In an advertisement,
put il where it will do the most
good. AS the new year advances,
solicitors for all kinds of guides and
aud directories will come among
you, who should be checkmated at
once. just 20 soon as it gets abroad
that your city lis a good town to
work." every sort Of a schemer will
infest your streets,-men who ought
to be saving wood for a living, try
to exc out an existence by soliciting
for some guide or other humbug.
1t won't do. 1t ought to be stopped,
and we hope our business men will
give the cold shoulder to all such
intruders. 1t is the home paper that
builds up home industries, and not
the tramp solicitors who canvass for
snide pamphlets, guides, etc.-COun-

An ASTOUNDING COUNT.

StOckmen, Attention!

StOckmen, Attention!
Some time since the JOURNAL sub.
mitted a problem to the stock raisers
of Platte county and Nebraska, con
corning the increase in ten years
from n COW, supposing that the
progeny began to bear at the age OF
three years, and that the steer calves
are changed for heifers before that
time. j. W. Ziegler returned as
answer to that problem, 81 w. N.
McCandlish made an improvement
on the problem, suggesting that, as
cattle were kept here in herds, the
progeny begin to come when the
cows are two years old. In the fol-
lowing solution by our friend Bar
mum, he starts out the first year
with a COW and a calf, and just see
what he makes of it. Is it any won
der that stock-raisers get rich? To
be sure, In this calculation nc allow
ance is made for losses by disease,
accident or otherwise, but cattle in
this country are remarkably healthy
and q friend of ours who has kept
note for nine years, (the progeny Of
one cow says he has lost but three
calves In that time. The problem to
which Mr.. Barnum gives answer is
this: What will be the increase
from one cow with calf beside herr
supposing that all steer calves are
exchanged for heifers, and that the
heifers begin to bear at the age Of
two years.
When it is seen that the grass
costs little more than the wages of a
boy herding; the hay, in stack, 81,
or thereabouts, a ton, corn, for fat
tening, 10 to 20 cents a busheI, &C.
cording to the season, il will not be
wondered at that Nebraska stock
raisers are on the high road to in
dependence. But here are Georges
figures, and we would be glad
to have any error pointed out.

SHE'LL CREEK, Jan. IA, 1880.
En-. SUN: What is the matter with
our sheep men that they do not re-
spond to your call? Seine of them
are enthusiasts on sheep husbsndry,
and know there is more money in
sheep than in any: other kind Of
stock. Sheep give two crops i'm a
year - the wool and lambs; and
grssshoppers can't eat either. Then
they are so much nicer and better to
handle, for q boy will herd 200 sheep
essier than twenty cattle; and the
sheep r not all the time hooking
each other and breaking down your
fesces. / believe that sheep hus-
bandry will be one of the greatest
industries of Nebraska, and a great
many of our farmers are beginning
to realize the importance of the
Shepherds vocation. Abel, the sup
posed twin brother of the first-born
of the human race, was q keeper OF
sheep; Abraham and most of the
pstrisrchs' were shepherds, and it is
said OF Rachel, the favored mother
of the Jewish race, that she came
with her Fathers f1ocks, for she
kept them. The seven daughters of
the Priest of INDIAN came and drew
water for their Fathers focks /;
Moses, the lawgiver who was learn
ed in all the wisdom of the Egypt
isns, kept the focks of Jethro, his
father-in-law ; and David, the hero
poet and king, was a keeper of sheep.
Job had 1900 sheep; and it was to
shepherds keeping watch over their
focks by night, that the birth of the
Savior was announced.
Now, can any other calling show
such a record as that? I would a
TO Nebraska farmers, get a few sheep
and take car of them and you will
never regret ii.

ed for his many kindly acts, and

connected with the fatal accident
are as follows: He owned a small
steam yacht, which piled between
his model farm and the city of James
willie. Returning N Sunday from
church on the steamer, he saw that
the smoke-stsck was about to strike
. bridge, and springing upon the
boiler to lower il, his head was
jammed against a bridge timber,
crushing In the fore part of bis head
and breaking his jaw. In this con-
dition he was taken to a hotel,
where, strange IS ii may appear, he
90 far retained his senses as to be
enabled to dictate his will and ar
range for final dissolution. Re-
manning conscious, although the
front part of his brain was crushed

not die. II is q curious case, and
