hand that held it seemed
sinister, immutable. How
different from the lingering,
clinging hand of the street,
the hand that corrected

Despite the innocence of
his expectation, Philander
began to sense something
disquieting, some thing pro-

Clay county Is las miles southwest of
Omaha, and eighty miles from Lincoln.
The county has &c., sc acres in farms, and
$4,000 acres under cultivation. 1t has a
population Of 1900, and is a county unique
In many respects. It occupies first place
In more different lines than any other
county in the state. 1t is the bread basket
of the state, as It produces more wheat
than any other county in the state. Last
year the farmers sold and shipped out OF
Clay county, 2,253,OO bushels OF wheat.
They also sold and shipped out l,452,SOO
bushels Of corn. Besides this they mar
keted 1853 900 bushels OF oats. But this is
not all. These farmers sold and shipped
out 11,l79 head Of beef cattle and 5000
head OF fat hogs. Besides loo head Of
horses and 1900 head OF sheep. Clay county
is fast reaching the point where the far
mers will not consider that beef, pork,
corn and wheat are everything that can
be produced in Clay county. This present
season the farmers are using $40 hand
separators and keeping $500 cows on their
farms. They also have 1G7,0O0 chickens on
their farms. The county is well adapted
to many kinds of fruit, such as apples,
peaches, plums and cherries, of which
there are 12O, 900 trees in full bearing. The
present season the farmers raised 900 acres
Of potatoes and 900 acres of sorghum. Be
sides this they produced 10000 acres of
alfalfa, $500 acres of timothy and 5L00
acres of wild hay. The county also sold
and shipped out $4,000 pounds of flour
