If all the persons engaged in feeding
cattle were to become familiar with the
principles of feeding, the application of
which made the production of Challen-
ger and Challenger Ii possible, our live
stock industry would find its wealth
doubled in few years. Should scien-
tific knowledge of soil composition, soil
structure and soil treatment become the
universal possession of Nebraska farm
ers, the productiveness of our farms
would increase from year to year.
The only way to bring these things to
pass is for our farmers to insist on as
careful training for their sons as is in
sisted on those who are to be ministers,
doctors and lawyers.
The University of Nebraska is offering
instruction which, if taken advantage of,
will cause Nebraska to take place of the
first order in the production of grain and
live stock. We are glad to see this work
being done. 1t only remains for our
farmers to avail themselves of the advan-
tages offered.

New Years Calls.

The custom of visiting and sending
presents and cards ON New Years day
is recorded almost as far back as his
tory goes. The practice Of using visit
ing cards can be traced back for thou
sands of years by the Chinese Their
New Years visiting cards are curiosf-
ties. Each one sets forth not only the
name, but all the titles, Of it's owner,
and, as all Cinnamon who have any
social position at all have about a
dozen, it makes the list quite appalling.
These cards are made of silk or else Of
fine paper backed with silk and are so
large that they have to be rolled up to
be carried conveniently. They are, in
deed, so valuable that they are return
ed to their owners.

SYLVESTER EVENING.
How the Germans Celebrate the Con-
version of Constantine.

The evening of Dec. 81 is known in
Germany as Sylvester evening. In Eu-
ropean calendars, excepting that of
England the days of the year have
names, and Dec. 81 bears the name Of
Sylvester, who was bishop of Rome in
the time of the Emperor Constantine
and was obliged to hide himself in the
mountains to escape persecution. Then
it happened that Constantine was smir
ten with leprosy, for which horrible
disease the physicians cOuld~JprOpose
no other remedy than a bath in the
blood of young children. For this pur
pose 5000 children were gathered, but
Constantine, moved to pity by the
despair of the mothers, refused to avail
himself of such a sacrifice. In the
night he was advised in dream to re
call Sylvester and to accept the Chris
tian religion, which he did.
This evening is everywhere in Ger
many a time of great rejoicing. Par
ties and balls are given, and friends
gather to spend the last hours of the
old year in merrment-games and
dancing and, most important of all, au-
guries and divinations. Though these
tricks are as old as the hills, they ney
er lose their charm. Hot lead is pour
ed into cold water contained III basin,
and in solidifying it forms itself into
all kinds of shapes and figures, in which
many meanings can be read by the
initiated.
Empty walnut shells, in each of which
burns tiny wax taper. are put to-
gether in basin of water to swim in
opposite directions If they meet two
loving hearts will be united in that
year, but if they separate the love at
fair of those represented by the shells
will come to naught. Young girls
throw slippers over their heads. If the
points of the slippers face the door the
owners will be married that year; if
the slippers miss the wished for direc-
tion the girls have to remain at home.
Sealed cards on which words of good
omen, of good advice or wishes have
been written are passed around, read
aloud and considered as indications of
the future.-New York Tribune

New Years Day In Russia.

At every country house in Russia
there are a feast and a procession in
honor of New Years day. Horses, sheep,
cows and hogs are dressed with gar
lands and led to the landlords house.
The idea is that the animals shall be
taken into the dining room, but when
the landlord has handsomely furnish
ed apartment and does not care to
have it ruined he sets aside some other
room and allows the mob to take pos
session of it.

A song of sun that in splendor shall

The joys in loves heart and the lights

New Years in France is a greater

once so popular in this country, but
now fallen almost into disuse, is still

prominently, add to the gayety of the
day. SO crowded are the pavements
on the boulevards that pedestrians
sometimes have to take the middle Of

A Polish kissing Zee.

In Poland New Years eve is observ-
ed in a dance called st. Sylvester's s
ball. The dancing proceeds decorously
until the clock strikes II. Exactly at
that moment the men fall to kissing
their own and their neighbor's part
ners, each taking particular pains to
thus salute the one he loves best be-
fore the one with whom she chances
to be dancing can perform that duty.
Those not in the mood for dancing
gather in another room or remain at
home to entertain one another with
stories about the departing year.
