The Making of Nebraska.
Parsons Magazine.

PEARSON Magazine
The discovery of a new resource in the de-
velopment of a State is well described in
the article on Nebraska. Nebraska has, so
to speak, rediscovered herself at least in
one section. Mr.. Lighton says: ION those
high plains, despite her harshness of aspect
toward the grain-grower, Nature has estab-
lished conditions quite ideal for the pur-
suit of another industry which has been in
fashion among men since the beginning of
husbandry. and which will never lose its
vogue Only within the last five years have
our people realized that by every natural
right these lands belong TO grazing herds
and flOcks, and that through them alone
were the arid wastes TO be made glad
Nothing is wanting TO complete the guaran-
tee of success. This realization has re
juVenated the western two-thirds of the
State; 1t has been like the discovery of a
fountain of economic youth. In 1895 stock
grazing in Nebraska was hardly more than
a side issue: but ii has since taken a place
second only 10 the cultivation of the soil.
In 1901 our ranges held more than three
million cattle and more than one million
sheep. As a part of the same healthy i'm
pulse. swine have won a secure place in
public esteem; full chorus of $780, 600 head
now grunt and squeal in fat content.

A London paper tells of the awful re-
venge taken by an English woman whose
husband proved to be a gay Lothario. She
turned him out of the premises, but not
content to await the disclosures of the di-
vorce court. she pasted in the window Of
her shop the letters written 10 him by his
inamorata, a hitherto respected young per-
son of the neighborhood. Naturally, these
letters attracted much attention. Such in
cidents show that the ways of people in
real life are often quite as remarkable as
the conduct of those in fiction.

recent issue of the New York Times
contained interesting facts regarding the
export of corn and the prices. showing that
the price influences the volume of export.
In 1890 the export reached 100. 41S.7O9 bushels,
or 2S5 per cent. of a large crop, at AZ cents
a bushel-the price in New York. The next
year the export was only 32,O41,529 bushels,
or 215 per cent. of a light crop, at 81 cents
a bushel The export did not reach nine
figures again until 1896, when it was 1O1, 1OO-
375 bushels. and the price was IS cents.
The next year the export was 17S,S17.417
bushels at 81 cents. The export in 1898 rose
to 212,O55,543 bushels, the price being SO
cents. The largest export was in 190O-213,
123, 412 bushels, or 10 per cent. of the entire
crop. the price being IL cents. The export
for the fiscal year which ended with June
was only 27OOO,OOO bushels at 81 cents. 1t is
interesting to note the ups and downs in
the price of corn. In 1897 the price in New
York was 81 cents, while during the last
fiscal year the price was 81 cents. Certain
to have wide fluctuations, the wonder is
that larger quantities are not stored during
years of low prices to sell in high-priced
seasons at double the money.
