How NEBRASKA LoOMs.-The way Nebraska
looms up in the New Orleans exposition, says
the Lincoln Journal, may be gathered from
an extract given below. And right here let
us say that the Texas commissioner to the ex-
position has 800 assistants and unlimited cash.
In fact there is hardly state but has sent
twice the men and money this state has.
Hence the more gratifying our success, and
the greater necessity that the services so
freely rendered should be properly recog-
nized. The Times-Democrat says;
Nebraska is fortunate through having Gov
ernOr Furnas for her commissioner to the ex-
hibition. This gentleman is doing wonders
for that young prairie state in the way of a
grand display of her resources and products.
As people enter the government building they
are instantly attracted. to the Nebraska ex-
b bit, which is one of the most striking and
tasteful in the building. Already the state
has gained, through her partly finished ex-
hilit, q reputation that Is enviable, though
but a hint of what the complete whole will
bling. The corn display is really beautiful
as is that of the wheat and grasses The man.
ufacturIng and milling interests of the state
arerepresented in an attractive manner. Ne
braska is surely rich in resources. Her horti-
cultural and dairy interests are we'll repre-
scented. The display of this stat. yesterday
was nearer perfect than any in the building
for state and government exhibit, and pre-
serted magnificent and unique appearance.

NEWS OF NEBRASKA.

The COMING MEETING. OF THE Al
LIANcE.-Mr. J. Burrows, through the Omaha
Herald, invites the attention Of farmers Of tho
state to the approaching meeting Of the State
Farmers Alliance, and says:
All farmers are invited to attend and can
participate In the proceedings. Any who de-
sire to attend will, upon addressing the sccrc-
tary, Mr.. L. Darling, Juniata, Neb., receive a
certificate which will enable them to purchase
round trip tickets at the usual reduced rates
given to all state associations.
The State Alliance is strictly q non-parti-
Fan association of farmers. Its object is to
advance the interests of the farmers of the
state by any legitimate means The tendency
of the age seems toward organization. Nearly
every class in the country is pretty thoroughly
organized for the protection and advancement
of its welfare, except the farming class
This class needs organization as much or more
than any other, as its industry forms the basis
upon which nearly every other industry is
founded. In the west, particularly, when the
farmers are prosperous all other classes pros
per, and when farming is depressed other call
ings suffer. So anything that tends to pro-
mote the welfare of the farmers is also benef-
cial to other classes. I cannot here go into an
argument for the organization of farmers, but
will merely say that unless they do organize,
in conformity with the genius of the age, they
will inevitably sink lower and lower in the
social scale until they become merely the vic
tins and slaves of the organized classes of So
ciety.
The Alliance forms good rallying point.
Its aims are broad, there is no political test OF
membership, its principals receive the sanction
of nearly all men who are interested in the
welfare of the state, and the progress of its
people.
Brother farmers, do not wait for each other.
Each man for himself. Attend this meeting,
and induce one or more of his neighbors to do
so, and thus make the meeting grand sue.
cess.
The secretary has arranged an attractive
programme, and the meeting will no doubt be
one Of unusual interest. Yours truly,
J. BURROWS.

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS IN CoUNCIL.-The
sion at the Commercial hotel, Lincoln, on the
3d. Thirty-four of the forty-one members
were present personally or represented by
proxy The first business considered was the
report of Chairman Child, Of the executive
committee, which detailed the work OF the
campaign and was favorably received after
considerable acrimonious debate. The matter
of patronage was next brought up. Several
members expressed the opinion that having
won great national victory the democratic
party should reap the benefit. A long resolu
ton was introduced by Captain La Hue recit-
ing the qualification felt by Nebraska demo-
Gratis over the situation, commencing the wis
dom of the course pursued by the state com
mittee, endorsing the action of the chairman
in convoking the present meeting and
ordering that all applications for federal
Offices in this state be referred to
the committee and acted upon by them before
being forwerded to the president. On motion
of Judge Crawford this resolution was tabled,
by vote of 10 to Is. A rambling debate then
followed as to the ACCESSIBILITY of allotting the
work to subcommittee, the ayowed object
being to prevent scramble for office. The
jurisdiction of this committee was to be con-
fined entirely to appointments affecting the
state at large, postoffices, ETC., to be filled by
the people Of the location interested. Finally,
the tabled resolution was called up again and
debated, when Mr.. Clegg offered, as substi.
tute, that the committee adjourn to meet at
the Paxton hotel in Omaha on the third Thurs
day in March next, all applications for office
in the meantime to be referred to Secretary
May, and reported by him to the committee at
its meeting. Mr.. Clegg's substitute was
adopted and the committee adjourned.

The Western Agricultural talks about the
past fair season In these words; 1.-THE fast
horse and gambling fairs have been failures,
while the legitimate agricultural fairs that
have encouraged improved stock and have
kept the gamblers out have been successful.
The line is drawn. The masses of stock
breeders will not attend or exhibit at these
fast-horse hullabaloo, wheelof fortune faire,
but they will encourage the agricultural fair
that keeps out the gamblers and keeps in
the stock. We like good horse, and when
we want 10 see horse trot, we go to a regu-
lar trotting association. These trotting and
racing meetings are now held ell over the
country, but the horse racing and trotting
with all It's evil associations, has no right to
invade the legitimate agricultural fair. The
fast horses must either gobble up most OF
the premium money OF the fair, OF il only
small speed premiums are awarded, only
poor horses are there TO compete. Now let
the breeders and farmers look to the agri
cultural associations aud see that improved
stock breeders and progressive farmers are
elected to offices for next years fair. Don't
stay at home and blame the fast-horse men
for RAINING the fairs into the ground. 1t is
your duty 10 act well your part" Aud in
ell this there Is good deal Of bard common
sense.

1t is said that the largest steer in the world
and the smallest COW are to be seen at the
Chicago fat stock show. The steer weighs
1850 pounds, and is the one spoken OF in our
local columns last week. The COW is from
Scotland, SO inches high, weighs 354 pounds,
and gives three gallons Of milk daily.

The value OF Apples as Food for Live
stock.

A"1 Nhhun " AFFANr - NNNs~ 80 -&A'N
stock.
The great quantity of surplus apples this
year, in some parts of New England, has Civ;
en- interest to the question of the value of ap-
Piles as food for cattle, horses or swine. Many
farmers value them worth at least 10 cents q
bushel to feed, while others consider them
worth little or nothing, and q few believe
them to be a positive injury especially il fed
for a long time, In large quantities. The fact
that thousands Of bushels remain ungathered
in the districts of the great apple production,
scarcely farmer having gathered all his ap-
pies, shows that they are not practically re-
garded as worth all that has been claimed for
them. We have before remarked upon the
condition, this fall, OF cattle that have run In
pastures where there has been an unlimited
supply Of apples. They are generally, as far
as we have observed not in as good condition
as usual at this season, though fall feed has
been good Perhaps this fact, II 1t is a fact
that cattle have not been benefited by an I'M
limited supply of apples, should not be set
down to the discredit OF the apples entirely.
Where the cattle have been at liberty to eat
all they would, their fondness for the fruit
may have led them to neglect the grass and
make their feed mainly, or almost wholly, of
apples; and an animal fed on apples alone
could hardly be expected to thrive.
OF course, all kinds of opinions are found
in the agricultural papers on the value Of APP
Piles for feeding; but here is one from 7. G.
Gilman Of Woodstock, N H., that will inter.
est our farmers, who have this year so many
apples frozen. He has, says the Cultivstor,
experimental somewhat In feeding apples 10
hogs, and is convinced that while sour ap-
Piles fed raw are almost valueless they be-
come worth 10 to 20 cents bushel after be-
ing frozen and then steamed enough to thAw
them out and perhaps partly cook them. he
has now in his pens one fine Chester White
SOW that will weigh at least 500 pounds, which
brought a litter of pigs last summer, and
which, during lest winter and spring, was fed
principally on sour apples Mr.. Gilman is
confident that the freezing, and perhaps to
come extent the thawing and steRming also,
acts chemically upon the apple and changes
its constituents and character. At ell events
hogs thrive upon them, and will turn from
other food if apples are obtsinable.
Here is d field for the agricultural expert
ment stations that are testing the value Of
feeding stuffs.
