NEBRASKA NEWS
CROP CONDITIONS OF THE STATE
ARE SPLENDID.
WINTER WHEAT YIELD up To AVERAGE
Statistics Gathered Show That This
Years Yield Will Be az Good a.
Last Year, and the Quality Is
About the Same.

Nebraska will this year easily duph-
cate its winter wheat crop Of 10000, 900
bushels raised one year ago. Thirty
doubt about this proposition, but now
with the harvest practically ended and
the wheat going to market, the yield
and quality both exceed all former pre-
dictions and estimates. Interested
parties gathered reports from all the
principal winter wheat counties, and
the individual cases where threshing
has been done show yield nowhere
falling below twenty-five bushels to
the acre, and running as high as forty
bushels to the acre. The wheat every
where in Nebraska is testing sixty
pounds and over per bushe1. It is q
splendid crop and one that again places
this state well to the front in the win
ter wheat belt. The ten years aver
age for winter wheat in Nebraska, ac-
cording to the government report, is
81 per cent, and that was the govern
ment estimate for the crop this year,
made by the government July LIST. It
is, however, better than that, and bet.
ter than the ten years average.
Four weeks ago it looked gloomy in
many sections of the state for an aver
age corn crop, but the heavy rains
and the frequent showers and the hot
days have brought the premier crop
of this state out marvelously, until
now, the middle of the month, it is
fully up with the average for num-
Der of years. The government report
on July LIST gave the average for Ne
braska at "a, against the ten years
average of SO. This average for July
LIST was in part at least made up be-
fore the heavy rains, and If an esti-
mate was made at the present time it
would be much higher than that Of
July LIST. Oats and potatoes will not
make an average crop. But there is
the largest fruit crop growing in this
state that there has been in years, and
pastures and meadow lands are in ex-
cellent condition. Nebraska is rapidly
nearing the line that when crossed will
mark the corn crop of this state az
sure. So near Is it to this line that
the doubt is remote one If we do not
average on all our principle produc-
ton equally good this year with the
best years of the past.

THE SCIENCE OF LIVING.
Dr.. George F. Butler Tells How to
Eat and How to As
simulate.

intendent of the Alma Springs SAM
tarium, Alma, Mich, in the October
number of 'How to Live gives some
interesting as well as sensible rules
for acquiring and keeping health. He
says: Without we eat and drink, we
die! The provocative to do both rests
with the appetite. which, in process
of time, becomes very uncertain
guide; for the palate will often induce
a desire and relish for that which Is
most mischievous and indigestible.
The old saying of eat what you like
is now Stunned by everybody of 20
years experience. Still, without appe-
tite, it is a very difficult affair to sub
sist-for the pleasure depends chiefly
upon the relish. The relish may be-
come, as has been stated, vitiated
one, but 1t is quite possible to make
the stomach, by little forbearance
and practice, as enamored of what is
wholesome and nutritious, as of that
which is hurtful and not concoctible."
Again he says: "The delicate
should feed carefully, not abundantly;
but only that which assimilates."
BE careful of your digestionJ sis

He says: Health in man, as in other
animals, depends upon the proper per.
Torrance of all functions. These
functions may be shortly said to be
three: (D tissue change; (2) re-
mova1 OF waste; ca supply of new
material. For the activity of man,
like the heat of the fire by which
he cooks his food, is maintained by
combustion; and just as the fire may
be prevented from burning brightly
by improper disposition of the fuel,
or imperfect supply of air, and as It
will certainly go out If fresh fuel is
not supplied, and may be choked by
its own ashes, SO mans activity may
be lessened by imperfect tissue change
and may be put an end to by an in
sufficient supply of new material and
imperfect removal of waste products.
I'VE should see to it that free elm

also valuable, and a glass full of cold
or hot water the first thing upon ris-
ing in the morning will aid much in
overcoming constipation. Regular
habit, cold baths. and massage are
very efacacious. In case the consti-
patton does not yield to these hygi-
enic measures, some simple, harmless
laxative may be required, such as Cali

New Fruit Of Value.

A new fruit that seems likely to
prove Of considerable value has been
developed by the cultivation of the
very familiar "maypop," plant which
is very familiar in the southern states,
quite ornamental, easily grown from
seeds and affords handsome cover for
erbors and verandas. 1t is known to
botanists as passifora incarnata. The
fruit in its improved form is somewhat
bigger than a hens egg and decidedly
palatable. It looks like May apple.

secured from artesian wells sunk only

however" As this is the gentleman
who bought 500 worth of tide lands

months, it will be seen that his opin.
ions are, at least, of q very optimistic
