SARrY COUNTY FEEDING YARD.-A few
months ago this paper published a de-
scription of the Sarpy county feeding yard,
owned by the Union Cattle company of
Wyoming and located four miles east of
Papillion, which was of much interest to
its readers. This morning a correspondent
called upon the managers OF that i%nstitu-
ton to note its success during the first win
ter of its growth and make q supplement-
airy report.
Additional interest attaches to this con-
Germ when it is known that it is the largest
of it's kind in the world. The Union Cattle
company were the first to expend nearly
500, 900 in buildings for the indoor feed
ing of cattle. The main building is high,
well ventilated and healthy, being heated
by steam and washed thoroughly Cnce u
day with water forced from the tanks by
an engine. 1t contains at present 5 head
of cattle Just ready for market. This inn
mense building is a model Tor convenience
and neatneSs. The company has, beside
the main building, an elevator, engine
house, tanks, cribs, Offices, hotels, etc,
enough to make a village i'll this quiet
country place. The object sought for by
these men is to feed cattle economically
by cooked food in rooms provided with IL
uniform temperature, thereby allowing
them to put their beef upon the market
at seasons of the year when fat cat
tie cannot be gotten from the western
range. In order to do this they will fatten
ut least two lots each year, and the cattle
will be shipped between the months OF
November and June. 1t will require from
three to four months to put ordinary cat
tie in prime condition for the market, and
the average feed consists OF ten pounds OF
corn per day for each head. To feed and
care for these $3.50 cattle requires the en-
ployment of only twenty-three men, as the
machinery for cooking and carrying the
food is most perfect. Mr.. Goodell, the vice
president. says the work OF the last Jour
months has been most successful, notwlth-
standing the novelty of the project, with
untried machinery and men, and the sever
Ity of the winter. With its close proximity
to the Omaha ~slaughtering houses, and the
productiveness of the country in which it
is located. together with the capital this in
stitution has to bach it, the Sarpy COM
pany feeding yards must be a great success.
Mr.. Goodell expressed his regrets that he
could not show all his visitors through the
great barns, and the visitors should re-
member that range cattle do not get accus-
toned to strange faces and those men have
too much at stake to subject them to con-
slant excitement.-[Omaha Herald.

PEACE AMONG NATIONS.
A Great Many Petitions from People Bear
ina on the Question.

~ uTcut -nuNy IcttttOJS JTOUV IcODft Dur
ing on the Question.
a Washington special says that Repre-
sentative Conger, OF Iowa, is getting agreat
many p~etitions'from people of his district
for the passage of a bill to promote peace
among nations and the establishment Of
an international congress to settle disputes
among nations by arbitration. Scarcely
any petitions of this nature are received
from other sections of the country. The
reason why Mr.. Conger gets so many is
that his constituency is composed largely
of Quakers. A considerable number of
these people settled in Iowa twenty-five or
thirty years ago, and have grown to be
quite ii community. Their petitions to
congress are in striking contrast to the
great mass OF memorials received by that
body. 1t is not Il better currency, or pub
lie buildings, or river and harbor improve
ments, or any other material benefits
which these quiet, modest people want.
They ask for nothing but the checking of
those selfish, unreasonable passions of
men that drive nations into war and bring
poverty, misery and death upon lands
that should blossom with peace and COM
fort and happiness. In the whirl of politi-
cal strife the principles OF these peace-lov-
ing men and women out in Iowa will not
get much attention at present from the
rulers OF any country. The world is not
quite ready for it yet. But the time is fast
approaching when those principles will
gain recognition and they will finally pre-
vail

4 Disposition to Make Inquiry in Regard

4 Disposition to Make Inquiry in Regard
a Washington special says: There is a
disposition now to make inquiry into the
value OF the property OF the different Indian
tribes to see il they are not so wealthy
that, with a proper management OF their
estates, these wards of the nation can be
supported out of their own means. In Mr..
Iiolman's report there is given Il detailed
account OF one reservation, which, il it is at
all Il fair sample, shows that it is folly to
spend public money on the Indians, because
they have property enough to live on very
handsomely. The indians on the Devils
AXE reserve number, it seems, 925. They
possess %, o acres OF land. They have
besides this great landed estate an annual
money income from the sale of other lands
Of S6,S11, vet the government gives them
on the top of all this $4,000 for their sup
port, S12,213 for schools, and paws besides
S4,495 for doctors, mechanics and team
sters, labOrers and harnessmakers, police.
and so on. There are members OF congress-.
who, looking over the expenditures Of over
$4,000 per annum OF public money for
2 Indians, who already have 1000
acres OF land, an independent income OF
near $1,000 a year, believe it necessary to
stop this waste, for fear the whole white
laboring population of the country in these
hard times will want to turn Indian.

WORTHLESS ARMS o H MILITIA.

Washington special: Complaint has been
made from to time by the militia OF several
states OF the character OF the arms with
which they are supplied. In many cases
the militia are using old obsolete arms, the
caliber OF which is different from that used
by the regular army, and in consequence
the militia experience difficulty and delay
in having their requisition filed for amuni.
ton. This exists from the fact that the
government does not keep on hand ammu-
milton OF the caliber of the arms used by
the militia, and when a requisition is re-
ceived from the militia the ammunition has
to be specially made. The war depart
ment not having a sufficient supply OF
small arms OF the pattern and caliber used
by the regular army have not been able to
meet the requirements of militia and state
troops, therefore they have been compelled
to use the old arms. To remedy this the
house committee has reported a bill direct
ing the secretary OF war, on application OF
state authority, to call in the old and un.
serviceable ordinance store and replaces
them with arms and ammunition OF stand
ard character.

A Hit at Authorizations.

A Madrid paper narrates a series OF
fatalities to which three members out OF
o family of four fell victims in that city,
and the story is one that seems as if it
might have happened in New York. The
family were flies, brother and three
sisters. They were in search of food. The
eldest sister alighted upon sausage and
ate heartily. The second satisfied her
hunger on some -four. The third drank
with avidlty from pitcher of milk. Then
they assaycd to fly, but in few moments
all three fell dead. The sausage had been
given its fine red color by means of a
poisonous aniline dye. The -four con-
tanned fatal percentage Of plaster of
Paris. The milk had in it so much chalk
that no well-rcgulated fly could drink it
and live. The unhappy brother, seeing
himself surrounded by the corpses of his
dear sisters, in his grief determined upon
suicide. He launched himself upon q
gray sheet of paper bearing the inscrip-
tion: ely papcr-sure to kill" and
sucked its deadly poison greedily; but
in vain. The more he took of it the bet
ter he felt. He was doomed to live.
"Fly paper" was also falsifed.-Neao

Interference Resented.

Tom Corwin asserted one day in his
committee room that it was never safe to
interfere between husband and wife, and
in support of his declaration narrated an
instance which occurred when he was
animated by the ardor and chivalry OF
youth. Travelling in little-frequented
rural district, he came upon cabin from
behind which he heard the angry voice
of man mingled with the screams of a
woman, and at regular intervals a hick-
ory sin ging through the air as If we'll
laid on. He rode round to get sight of
the cause of all this clamor, when he saw
a burly-looking fellow thrashing his wife
like fury, with stick too formidable to
be within the meaning of the statute.
On seeing our friend, the billigerent sus.
pended, the 'shower of timber" ceased
to fall, and there was great calm of a
few moments duration. The young
man, whose wrath had suddenly waxed
hot against the cruel husband, cried out.
"You brute! you rascal! throw down
that whip, and don't touch that woman
again, or I'll wear it out over your own
ugly carcass! you savage, you" Who
should respond to this valiant defiance
but the in iured lady herself. Turning
her bloused hair out of her face, and CIV
ing her fist a portentous shake, she
squalled out: "He's as good as you are,
you gawky, good-for-nothing creeter,
!"-Bsn: Perley Poore.

AS calculation as to what can be done
in the way of sustaining population, the
following, from Belgian correspondent
of the London Mark Lane Express, will
be read with interest: "The little country
of Belgium has 4S0 persons to the square
mile, or three to every four acres. That
is, four acres are to support three per-
sons. If the United States were equally
crowded the population would be 1,65O,.
600, 900, or more than the population Of
the whole world. One acre, perfectly
cultivated, can easily sup ort one person.
It is possible to produce sixty bushels OF
wheat on one acre, and this is equivalent to
the whole support of at least two persons.
It is simply matter of calculation and
management. Belgium shows what can
be done, and it is well done, for we do
not hear of distress in that busy country,
nor of paupers, nor q rush of dissatisfied
Belgials crowding away to better their
condition. 1t shows that high farming
and excellent cultivation of the soil are
profitable, and may be taken as one oil
the facts that prove this to be settled
principle of agricultural economy"

Of the present year reached the startling
figure of s97. .s75 hundred weight. The
English dairy farmer is thoroughly
alarmed. Mr.. Bright and the Golden
Club, since it has become improbable to
raise grain, have been telling the farmer
to ''try something clse"-stock raising
and dairy farming for example. Now
the unrestricted importation of butterino
threatens to inhict serious blow to the
dairy interests. The British farmers are
demanding protection against the sale OF
butterine as it is now sold. They are
supported by the London Post, which de-
clares they have right to be protected,
and Parliament will be petitioned to
grant relief.

The only means of which we can cob
reive with human power for the preven-
ton, or at best the rendering less fire.
quent, of cyclones, is in the covering OF
the face of the country as much as pos.
sible with trees and verdure. Let there
be ascending moisture instead of ascend
ing currents of heated air. In the great
timbered valleys of the Amazon cyclones
are unknown; yet when we look at
the formation of the land, it is probably
one of the most monotonously level
regions on the face of the earth. In the
vast area drained by the Amazon and its
tributaries might be packed the whole
United States and not one of its boun.
daries would anywhere be touched.
Seen from any of the eastern spires OF
the Andes, this whole region is sea of
verdure. The boundless and unbroken
forests give it the appearance Of an IL
limitable meadow. From the grassy
steppes of Venezuela to the treeless pampas
of Buenos Ayres expands this sea of
vendure. In it we might at almost any
point draw circle of eleven hundred
miles in diameter, within which all
would be an unbroken evergreen forest.
And so matted, corded, and fcstooned
with vines are all the trees of this forest,
and such is the exuberance of the under
growth, that ..'macheta" must be used
with which to hew way into the wall
of vegetation the'moment the voyager on
one of the rivers puts foot ashore from
his canoe. Such is the steaming moisture
within these great forests that salt soon
becomes brine, the best refined sugar
becomes syrup, epson salts and many
other kinds of medicine deliquesce, and
the best gunpowder becomes liquid in a
few days, even when inclosed in a
canister. Take away the forests and
verdure, and leave this region a vast
desert plain, and it would no doubt at
once become very playground OF
cyclones.

Another Earth.

Mars is almost universally accepted as
being kind of duplicate earth. 1t is
endowed with land, water. clouds and
air, and snow accumulating around its
poles in their respective winter seasons.
The atmosphere of the planet is, however,
obviously much moro rare than that Of
the earth, 50 that it only exerts at the
planets surface as pressure of about
two pounds and quarter to the square
inch. The climate of Mars is conceived,
from the small amount of snow that ac-
cumulates at the poles of the planet, to
be comparatively mild. The water is
distributed into very curious series of
long parallel canals which run out from
the ocean basins to an extent in some
places of three and four thousand miles.
Two moons have been discovered since
1877, presenting diameter of not more
than six or seven miles, and one of them
completing revolution round the planet
in little more than seven hours. s.-Eain-
