NEBRASKA
THE LAND
OF PLENTY

wonder why it is that so many men
spent their days working hard on rent
ed farms, barely making enough to get
along, with no great prospect ahead of
owning their own homes, when within a
few hour journey is land of plenty
Nebraskd-where all kinds of grain and
fruit can be raised with the least
amount of LABOR; where cattle and hogs
fed on corn bring handsome profit;
where the climate is healthful and
churches and schools abound; where
land is cheap and can be bought on
very easy. terms.
Think Of this, and if you want infor-
nation about the country send to me for
'The Corn Belt" a beautifully illus.
trated monthly paper that tells all
about Nebraska, and also for "Tne
West Nebraska Grazing Country's an
interesting illustrated booklet contain
ng large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesdays of
each month during the balance Of this
year, cheap excursion tickets will be
sold over our road to Nebraska, SO that
people may 60 and see for themselves.
Ask your ticket agent about this.

labor saving machines now in common
use on the farm have done much to do
away with the drudgery of farm life.
Now comes an Oskalooa man, William
Hibhs, with a machine for picking and
husklng corn, which, it is said, will do
for corn what the self binder has done in
the harvesting of small grain. In opera

long rollers. widely separated at the bot

ers work inward, pluck the ears of corn,
which is given to another pair of rollers,
and is husked and run up an inclined
plain and dumped into the wagon. The
machine is comparatively cheap and can
be operated by two hands. The speed
with which it works will make it a means
of great economy to the farmer. A COM
pany is being organized in Oskaloosa for
its manufacture, and large factory will
be erected and the machine placed on
the market at once. -Belle Plain Union.
