10 him from a decision rendered first
by the school board OF Minerva towns
ship and later by County Superintend-
sent Morrissey. The case was entitled
William L. Ingledue vs. the school
township Of Minerva. In September.
1899, Mr.. Ingledue petitioned the local
board to re-locate the school house site
at Bromley and to erect new school
building, the point of contention being
that the old building was not accessible
to one portion of the district. The board
refused, County Superintendent Mor-
rissey sustained the action Of the
board, and now Superintendent Barrett

SILL and for this outlay 1t runs a corn
shelter and feed grinder and a grind
stone
One Of the most ingenious mills in the
whole State stands on Il farm near
Gothenburg. 1t is made merely of a
wagon wheel attached by its axle to n
barn. 10 the spokes are fastened
blades. This contrivance pumps all the
water needed for the barn. Still an
other mill is two-fan turbine, and is
made from an old mower. Near Grand
Island. Fred Mathiesen built mill, the
driving parts of which were taken from
an old self-binder. 1t waters his stock,
and yet the cost was under So.
BY putting rudder on mill the
arms can be made to swing around and
stand in the wind. and by putting a
mill within n tower instead of upon it.,
the chance of destruction through be-
Ing blown down by the high winds is
lessened greatly. One of the queerest
mills is that of n farmer named Boer-
son, who lives near Grand Island. He
took the sprocket wheel and fly wheel
of cornsheller and at cost of So put
together continuance that pumps
enough water for sixty head of cattle.

mechanism is reconstructed aermotor

Most of the homemade mills are
found In the Platte Valley, from Oma-
ha to Denver, and in the lesser river
courses which branch out from this val
ley. Columbus, Grand Island, Kear-
ney. Overton, COzad, Lexington, Goth
enburg, Ogallala and intermediate
towns are centers for these mills as
well as for other kinds of water lifters.
The favorite form in Eastern Nebraska
is the Jumbo, or the go Devil" which
latter name probably Is contraction
of "Go-Like-thc-Devil." In Central
and Western Nebraska the prevailing
type is called the Battleax Mill. Both
kinds do far more than pump water.
They run the grindstone, the churn,
the feed grinder, the corn shelter and
wood saw and other farm machinery.
All this work is done by Il machine that
costs, labor included. from 81 to So. OF
course the time is put In when there is
nothing else more pressing to be done.
for If the time We're to be taken ont of
important work the result hardly
would pay. While the average cost is
placed as low as 81 or So. below which
the minimum. 1t would seem. scarcely
could go. the maximum that has been
put into the construction of such mills
sometimes is as much as $50. A mill
at this price will have mt least eight
horsepower and will grind from 200 to
300 bushels of grain a day.
The Nebraska homemade mill seems
to- classify itself into six types. Begin

7N NO State throughout the Union

nN NO State throughout the Union
is American ingenuity-and Yankee
Ingenuity, ut that-shown to finer
advantage than in Nebraska, where
homemade windmills, constructed at
slight cost, do the work of mill-made
machines for which much larger
price is asked. New England and the
Middle States, says the New York
Press, might just as we'll as not claim
some of the credit for the inventive
ness and power of adaptation which
these Western farmers display, for the
farmers came from the East, or their
fathers did, and the farmers of the
West haven't much harder row to
hoe than the farmer of the rocky hills
of New England.
These Nebraska folk can take a
WORKOUT mower and few boards
which have dropped off the pig sty and
make out of them windmill that will
insure them profit, even if in the long,
clear summers the sky refuses to "give
down." The labor can be put in when
nothing more profitable is to be done
than praying for rain, and the ridicu-
lous sum of dollar or SO pays nil the
money outlay necessary.

only water enough for his stock, but

water needed. 1t has four fans, each
three feet long and arms two and one

j. l.. Browns mill, which Is on the
Midway nurseries, near Kearney, is
one of low cost. Out of old grocery
boxes he made the fans and the box,
and the gaspipe axis cost him $1.5O.
What could such mill as this do?
Well, 1t pumped enough to irrigate his
garden through killing season of
drought, and kept his strawberry patch
and his small fruit from death. Pretty
good investment for $780, In fact,
Brown has figured out that the profit
from that little mill during three pretty
tough times of drought exceeds that Of
the whole farm in three ordinary sea-
sons.
The regulation jumbo mill is set per-
manently to face the north or south
and thus catch the force of the prevail
ing winds. But when the winds blow
from another direction these mills
would be of no use, so this difficulty is
overcome by putting up universal"
jumbos, which are set on screw, and
which will turn with the wind in any
quarter. Sometimes, too, jumbos are
set up in pairs, quartering the compass,

Written to Ridicule Absurd Stories of
Chiva1ry.
The object of Cervantes in writing
Don Quixote" was, MS lie himself de.
clared, to render abhorred of men the
false and absurd stories contained in
the books of chivalry. The fanaticism
caused by these romances was so great
In Spain during the sixteenth century
that the burning Of all extant copies
was earnestly requested by the cortes Tor
legislature Of the realm. To destroy
passion that had taken such deep root
among all classes, to break up the only
reading which at that time was fashion
able and popular, was bold under
taking, yet one in which Ceryantes
succeeded.
No books of chivalry were written
after the appearance of Don Quixote,"
and from that time those in existence
have been steadily disappearing, until
now they are among the rarest of liter
airy curiosties. This romance, which
Cervantes threw so carelessly from his
pen, and which he only regarded as an
effort to break up the absurd fancies
about chivalry, has now therefore be-
come the Oldest specimen of romantic
fiction and one of the most remarkable
monuments to genius.
Ten years after its appearance its
author published the second part of
don Quixote," which is even better
than the first. 1t was written in his old
age, when in prison and finished when
he felt the hand of death pressing cold
and heavy upon him.-London Mail.

In the general class of turbine mills
are included the Holland mills, the bat

are the shop-made ones which have

and repaired.
The battleaS mill gets its name from
its resemblance in the arms and the
blade to the AK. Like the jumbo, 1t us.

ton, and ms the prevailing winds of
Nebraska are from these points of the

Carroll, near Overton, cost $25-more
than the average, because 1t has a thir-
ty-barrel tank connected with 1t. Near
Grand Island, Diedrich Huennecke
spent $14 on battleax mill and tank.
The fans of the mill are fixed in the
driving parts Of an old thresher, and
the brake is taken from an old wagon.
