PLEASING RESULTS
Nebraska Has Plenty and Some

ONE OF BEST IN THE UNION
Her Crops. with U%nfavorabIe weather,
Show Remarkable Yield and
Quality the Best.

NeDrasRanS car contemplate with
much satisfaction the yield of the fields
1or the last season. 1t is true that the
total hgures OF bushels and tons Is not
up TO that OF 1902, but under the con-
ditions the returns are certainly cause
congratulation. In many respects
the growing season was, abnormal.
April, when the rains are naturally
looked for. was dry, and cold; May was
wet and cold, June was wet and colder,
and July, reckoned among the hot
months OF the year, was the wettest
on record. and the daily mean tenn
perature from 8 to 8 degrees lower than
the normal. II seemed like hoping
against hope to expect a crop under
these encouraging conditions. Grain

weather, and ripening was beyond pos
sipiiity. In June estimates on the wheat
crop were that 1t would exceed the rec
ord-breaking crop of 1902; when the
time came for harvest, many reported
that the wheat crop would be a failure.
In the sense OF a bumper crop II was
a failure. u the yield is such as would

bushels OF a first-class quality Of wheat

AN ANCIENT VILLAGE
Place Visited by Bourgmont In 1J.A Des-
iEnated as indian Town.


iEnatod as Indian Town.
The site Of the old village Of the Kaw
or Kansas, Indians, visited by Bourg-
mont, commander at Fort Orleans. in
1924. and about which history has said
much, has been located at the mouth
OF Independence creek. a few miles
north Of Atchison, Kan, by George j.
Remsburg, the Kansas archaeological
explorer.
Some historians had placed the site of
this famous prehistoric village at Atch-
ison, but Remsburg. who has studied
early French documents and natural
features pertaining to that locality,
claims he has indisputable evidence in
support Of his contention.
When Bourgmont visited the home of
the Kaw. or Kansas Indians, in 1872. 1t
contained $50 lodges. or about 1900
warriors. Remsburg has identified the
other large village site Of the Kaws in
eastern Kansas at the mouth Of Salt
creek, in I~Ravenworth county. Rems-
burg made a personal investigation of
the old Indian village at the mouth Of
Independence creek his week, and he
claims he has secured evidence which
will settle the long quarrel between
a~rchaeologists as to the exact location.
While In that locality Remsburg ex-
plored an Indian mound and found
human remains. badly charred by fire
and hundreds OF small glass, porcelain
and bone beads. copper ornaments. a
silver finger ring and earbobs, silver
breastplate. copper bracelet. fragments
OF an iron kettle and an old-fashioned
plate, flint chips. mineral paint. a steel
or iron firestock and many other arti-
cles.
The grave was undoubtedly that OF a
kaw. or Kansas. Indian. Remsburg
considers the find important from an
archaeological standpoint. He will
make further investigation in the vicin-
ity Of the old village site.

President Roosevelt Names Thursday
4, the 26th Of November.
President Roosevelt has issued his
annual Thanksgiving proclamation in
the following terms:
by the President Of the United
States of America: A Proclamation.
THE season Is at hand when, accord
ing to the custom of our people it falls
upon the president to appoint q day of
praise and thanksgiving to God. Dur
ing the last year the Lord has dealt
bountifully with us, giving us peace
at home and abroad and a chance for
our citizens to work for their welfare
unhindered by war, famine or plague.
1t behooves us not only to rejoice great
ly because of what has been given us,
but to accept it with a solemn sense of
responsibility, realizing that under
heaven 1t rests with us ourselves to
show that we are worthy to use a right
that has been entrusted to care.
In no other place and at no other time
has the experiment OF government Of
the people, by the people. for the peo-
pie, beer tried On Sc vast q scale as
here in our own country in the opening
years Of the twentieth century. Failure
would not only be a dreadful thing for
us but a dreadful thing for all "a
kind, because it would mean loss Of
hope for all who believe in the power
and the righteousness OF liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for the
mercies extended to us in the past, we
beseech Him that He may not withhold
them In the future, and that our hearts
may be reused to wal steadfastly for
good and against all the forces of evil.
public and private. We pray for
strength and light, SO that in the COM
ing years we may with cleanliness,
fearlessness, and wisdom, do u allot-
ted work on the earth in such manner
as to show that We are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings we have re-
ceived.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day OF gen.
eral Thanksgiving, Thursday, the TWEEN
ty-sixth day of November, 1903, and
do recommend that throughout tho land
people cease from their wonted occupa-
tions, and in their several homes and
places of worship render thanks unto
Almighty God for His manifold mer-
cies.
In witness whereof I have hereuntO
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed. (Signed.)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

DAiRYING WITHOUT ICE.
How to Make Good Butter In SUM
mer Time.


How to Make Good Butter In sum-,
mer Time.
There are many farms with a few
cows, or perhaps only one, which are
not convenient to a city, with ice an
impossible luxury and where for this
reason the housewife believes she can
not make good butter in summer time.
But even then good butter can be
made if one knows how to meet adj
verse conditions and will take the nee
essary trouble, says writer in the
Sunny South. One prime requisite, Of
course, is cleanliness. There should be
enough milk vessels so that they need
not be all used constantly. If possible
there should be vessels empty and air
ing one day for use the following day.
The milk vessels should be rinsed out
and thoroughly cleaned with tepid wa
ter before scalding, for hot water
would otherwise cook the milk into the
crevices, when it would be difficult to
remove.
A good way is to rinse out each tin
with cold water and then thoroughly
scrub it inside and out with a gcner-
Gus supply of warm water After which
treatment scald each piece with boil
ing water.
Without ice it is quite necessary to
churn every day In warm weather.
keeping the milk in the coolest place.
which. is never in the kitchen.
Skim the mornings milk and mix the
cream with the nights milk, and it will
be ''set" and ready to churn next morn
ing.
The churning must be done early
by sunrise in fact. The cream is then
at the right temperature, and the butter
will be as firm and nice as one could
wish.
By swinging the dish of butter with
stout cord drawn into the well it will
remain cool and the butter hard enough
to slice.

Cor hogs. which may be pastured on
lowed to root out the nuts for them
selves.
The Spanish peanut natures so quick
ly in comparison with other kinds that
1t may be grown as garden plant in
most northern states. with a fair chance
of good yields. They should be planted
preferably in light soil in rows like
bush beans and require about the same
culture The foliage is neat. and the
numerous bright yellow blooms are
very pretty. Frequent stirring of the
soil is beneficial in promoting growth
and in enabling the embryo nuts to
bury themselves in the soil in the natu-
raj way The nuts are very sweet and
pleasant when properly roasted and
are particularly good keepers. We have
held them over two years in an ordi-
nary cellar with no apparent deteriora-
ton in flavor.
Commercial peanuts are of larger
type, averaging more than double the
size of the Spanish kind. The shells
are large and long, often containing
three kernels or peas. Every effort is
made in curing these nuts to retain the
fresh, bright straw color they have

COOL CURED CHEESE.

1t Brings a Better Price Than That
Treated In the Ordinary Way.
Superintendent Joseph Burgess of the
government consolidated illustration
station for the cold curing of cheese at
Woodstock. Canada. is in receipt of
valuable report from Hotson Bros.
cheese importers of Liverpool, in refer
ence to the relative value of cool cured
cheese and cheese cured in the ordinary
way.
The Canadian department of agricul-
ture forwarded to HOtson Bros. sam
pies of inspection of the two lots. The
importers report as follows:
'"The cool cured cheese arrived in
Liverpool in much better condition
than the ordinary cured cheese. 1t was
also of q superior quality and was bet
ter in every respect. The ordinary
cheese was sold at a figure one-siXth
less than the cool cured article, and In
this connection we may state that 1t
was the great scarcity Of anything be-
low the best full cream cheese which
enabled US to get so high a price for
price of the cool cured cheese. Gener-
ally there would have been a much lar
ger margin, as the ordinary cheese was
bad value as compared to the cool cured
article"
Respecting the paratfining of cheese
Hotson Bros. add: THE experiment
of waxing cheese is one that ought
to be advantageous, but 1t will take
some time to get the English preju-
dice against it overcome. At pres
ent English dealers do not like it. but
we confess that it has merits which
must influence the producer on your
side of the line (the Canadian cheese
makerl to continue it. 1t undoubtedly
prevents shrlnkage and in our jNdg-
ment preserves the quality of cheese"
From the above report cheese manu-
facturers and buyers throughout the
country will readily concede the advan-
tages to be derived from curing cheese
at Il proper temperature, as provided
at the government cold curing station
here, instead of curing the product I'M
