RED Willow COUNTY.

We take pleasure in quoting the re-
ports made by the following gentlemen
concerning their success as farmers and
stock raisers in this county. These
gentlemen all came into this county
with but limited capital, ranging from
5000 to the insignificant sum of S10.05,
and each and all of them are now very
comfortably fixed own their land, COM
Portable homes, have cattle, and raise
good crops. This, of course, is but
partial report, and there are others who
have been equally as successful. There
is plenty of land in this county, sub
ject to homestead, pre-, emption or tim
ber-culturc entry, and it behoves all
those who want to be owners of 100
acres of land by living on and cultivat-
ing the same to make arrangements
early, rs there will be an immense in
fux of people into this county in the
spring. and within twelye-month gov
eminent land subject to entry will be
scarce.
1t may be that, as the Lincoln Jour
nal says, this is poor country for the
farmer, but the facts it seems to us are
to the contrary: Mr.. Stilgebouer rails
ed 200 bushels of corn OH 80 acres, or
30 of an average. Dir. Duckworth rails
ed 6400 bushels on 100 acres, or an
average of 40. We do not advise farm
ing solely and alone, but rather that
stock raising on small scale be con-
Quoted in connection with tilling the
soil. Which we think will more preva-
lent in the valley as it becomes more
settled, and its advantages see. This is
grand country for cattle, horses, pigs,
or poultry, and every farmer should
have few of each. This country has
never been titled in earnest, but rather
in halfway style but those who went
at the matter in earnest last spring
garnered fair crops.
l came from Lee county, Illinois, in
March, 1875, and had when l came
$3.50. l own 320 acres of land, esti-
mated at $40 an acre, which is low
estimate. I have made about So, 900.
l raised 20 acres of sod corn, and cut
for fodder 1 also raised oats, potatoes,
and other garden vegetables to the
amount of $268. If there is anything
in this statement worth publishing you
can use it. Red Willow county is
good county. G. l.. NETTLEToN,

THE most dangerous evil of the times
is the mania for gambling in stocks OF
futures in grain and provisions, which
corrodes the conscience, frenzies the
brain and petrifes the hearts of the men
and women who constitute the specula-
tors of Wall and State streets. This is
an eminently respectable curse which
attacks all classes. 1t haunts the par
lor as well as the barroom, roosts over
the doors of our strongest banks, occu-
pies front seat and ofttimes the pull
pit at church, and makes paupers and
thieves out of the most gifted and
trusted in the community. 1t is recog-
nized as a legitimate occupation, and
the man engaged in it loses neither
caste nor his seat at the communion ia
BILE, as long as he succeeds.

IGNORANCE, vice and crime are the
legitimate results of great poverty, and
nearly all the poverty of the world is
attributable directly to the exorbitant
tribute which, under our present indus
trial system, the producer is obliged to
pay to the non-producer. To reduce the
sum total of crime to a minimum, we
must remove the cause, and the cause
can only be removed by the application
of the Divine Law, in the spirit as well
as in the letter, to all our dealings with
questions which pertain to the produc-
ton and distribution of wealth. All
human laws and regulations by which
the wealth created by one is transferred
to another without full equivalent,
are in direct violation of the Law of
God. This is question which deserves
the careful consideration of all who
profess to be followers of the ''meek
and lowly."-Sacramento Equity.
