TIE Rosebud.

One Of the most rare and unique Christmas
entertainments ever gwen III Omaha was
that of the sunday school Of the South
west crn Lutheran church last night. The
special feature of the occasion was the piece
called "The Rosebud" Six little girls, sur
rounding a large moss rosebud, told, in poe
try, something of the birth Of the Christchild,
Then the bud slowly opened, revealing q
little child, pretty rs fairy, in its midst.
The little fairly told of the "wondcrtul night
when Christ was born" AS soon as she
ceased. an alto solo, The Shepherds Watch,
WAS heard Little Elsie Norbcrg was the
fairy, and was pronounced perfection. The
rest of the entertainment consisted OF rccita-
tions, an acrostic, songs, etc. The enter
talnmcnt was complete success and the
proficiency of the participants reflected
great credit upon those having the matter in
charge.

ORACULAR UTTERANCES.

THEY need much whom nothing will
content.
NOTHING overcomes passion more
than silence.
EARNEsTNEss in good cause can not
stop short of fame.
VICTORY is foreshadowed by the effort
put forth to bring it about.
PEOPLE sure of their own social posi-
ton are never afraid to condescend.
OFTEN the ''nicest kind of people" be-
come snobs as soon as they get money.
A HELPING word to one in trouble is
often like a switch on a railroad track,
but one inch between wreck and smooth
rolling prosperity.
TINE washes away the customs and
opinions of mankind, but human nature
remains the same in its essential quail
ties or principles.
He who bears failure with patience is
as much of philosopher as he who sue
ceeds; for to put up with the world
needs as much wisdom as to control it.
MANY persons consider themselves
friendly when they are only officious.
They counsel not so much that you may
become wise so that they may be known
as teachers of wisdom.
THE power of a strong intellect is
mightier than that of kings. Wealth
and station unconsciously yield obedi-
ence to it. All instinctively honor it,
and are influenced by it.

of grass to accumulate and form mulch
ing or covering sufficient to retain what
rainfall has come. The rainfall, instead
of draining off into the streams, has
soaked into the ground and been given
off in vapor. Practically all the rainfall
of 1889 has been retained, hence we have
121 Gains in 1889 against the AZ in 1888,
and the percentage of wind power is only
337, notwithstanding the percentage Of
cloudiness was only 36.6.
From a study of these records I find
that the worst enemy the western Kansas
farmer has is the fire, which burns off
natures covering for our soil.
I further find that the chances are IA
vorable for the year 1890 to be a good
one, as the average rainfall is sure to be
above normal.
1 find that the year 1889 was hotter
through the summer months than was
1893; and yet we had good crops. Why?
Because of the lighter wind power, great
er evaporation and fewer hot winds. We
know to certainty that heat of 10 ,
with little or no wind does less damage
to growing crop than heat of % ; with
high wind. We further know to a GER
tainty that by keeping out all prairie
fires, not only in Trego county, but IN the
whole plains region, so that the prairie
haorr TaTIl0h for tho
soil, that all crops will be better. We
further know that by keeping out the
prairie fires all the more valuable hay
grasses come in rapidly. It is safe to
say that in this valley there are ten acres
of hay grasses now to where there was
one in 1878.
If every farmer in western Kansas
would protect his place from fire, and
then fight all fires which ignorance or
carelessness start as he would a pestil-
ence, we would soon solve the problem of
the conservation of the rainfall and the
rapid extinction of the purely grazing
grasses. The burning of a hay grass
meadow will damage it for years. Keep
out the fires!
Cattle are low in price, but every
farmer should keep enough of them to eat
all the rough feed he produces in raising
his grain. The straw from an average
crop of wheat, fed to cattle, is worth so
per cent. of the grain; while the fodder
from a field of corn, cut in season, is
worth more than the grain produced.
These facts will bear thinking over.
Don't waste so much and then fewer
people will have to go back to wife's
folks and fewer people will curse our
country. Our country is good enough
if people would only study it. Lay this
paper aside and frequently refer toit. 1t
will help you. Its study will make you
believe as 1 do, that 1890, 81 aud '92 will
sill be above average years. So keep up
heart and so to work in earnest as I
have above suggested, and don't forget
about prairie fires. BEN G. RICH.
