From H. P. CARSON,
In ITALY.

Our journey by special train
from Naples, 1856 miles through
the valleys of Italy, to Rome was
greatly enjoyed. It gave us very
fine views of the country, its or
lchards, vineyards. fields and towns
on mountain sides or top, unless
the top was the highest in the re-
gion, in which case it was usually
occupied by monastery. The
peculiar feature that attracted our
attention was white oxen in shafts
or to the plow, and digging the
fields with spades instead of plow,.
ing them. The spade, however,
far excelled the wooden pillow in
preparing the land to produce a
remuneratiye crop, and women in
large proportion were doing the
spading. The land is evidently
well titled and productive. In fact
the fields appear like gardens we'll
cared for. Both trees or vines and
grain are grown upon the same
land. Some of the country houses
had no glass or even sash in their
windows and furthermore few had
chimneys. The mountains gave
great beauty to the views and great
contrast to the valleys Snow was
visible on the top of some of the
mountains as we neared Rome.
! My seat companion entertained me
the last few miles on the run by
reciting sRegulus to the Romans"
till | was freshly reminded Of what
honor and dignity once belonged
to Roman citizen.
Sunday | attended mass in St.
Peters, where | witnessed scores of
people kiss the great toe of the
bronze statue of Peter, thus con-
tinuing practice that keeps said
toe bright and has actually worn
it very perceptibly; also witness
ed the baptism of two babes, then
went to service and communion at
the st. Paul's Episcopal Church,
where the burning candles and or.
nate walls and appointments did
not prevent me from realizing help
and comfort both from the ex-
cellent sermon and the communion
at the close of the service. It was
pleasant to hear again my native
tongue and instruction from the
minister that | could understand.
In the afternoon I attended church
services in the Scotch Presbyteri-
an Church and in the Methodist
American Mission just across the
street. The simplicity of both and
the absence of ornate appoint
ments were in marked contrast
with what / had attended in the
afternoon. One sermon treated of
Paul's experiences in Rome and
the question of his visit to Spain.
The other treated of the Jews in
Rome. At the tea social which
followed I met young Mr.. Norvel,

The insurgents in congress are
in a critical position. They hold
a balance of power between regular
republicans and democrats. Their
power to defeat a republican meas
ure carries with il power to enact
a substitute. If they defeat a re-
publican measure and fail to give
us anything better the public will
hold them responsible. Their abil.
ity to do the latter is doubtful.

SCIENCE IN GROWING CORN
Requires Great Deal Of Labor, but
Farmer Is Repaid by the In
creased Crop.
By CHAs X. PETERsEN.)

eBy CHAs. X. PETERSEN.)
The testing of seed corn is very I'm
portant this spring. Not in many
years has the question SO closely APP
pealed TO the farmer as 1t does now.
Much of the seed corn saved in the
corn belt states for this seasons plant.
ing is showing low termination and
better cultivation than ever will be
necessary to produce a big crop.
A good seed bed is the foundation
OF the crop, or rather the first stone
upon the real foundation, the seed.
~Presuming that the corn ground is In
proper rotation and sufficiently man
ufed, 1t should be worked up as mel
low as a garden bed. If stalks are on
the ground they should be disked both
ways, the rollers being ground sharp.
then follow with II spading disk, and
work the soil thoroughly four or Ave
inches deep.
1t is hardly possible to spend toe
much time in preparing the ground
1t should be disked three times each
way, making six workings before
planting.
When stalks are plowed under a
good plan is to harrow first then pillow,
then harrow again and plant.
The harrow should follow the pillow
closely and all plowed ground should
be finished every noon and night.
Another good preparation is to disk
the ground four times, using a spader
the nrst time and an ordinary disk a
week later. Then harrow the land
after each double disking and plant
close after the harrow. Rowe the II.
linois man says that after several
years experience he prefers disking
to blowing. or curse sod ground
must be plowed.
II is also important to use the right
kind of a corn planter-use an edge,
drop planter or one that will drop the
exact number of kernels for which il
Is set % times out of 100. 1t should
even do better than that. IL the seed
has been carefully sorted according
to size TO fit the holes in the different
plates. This is the only way to get
an even stand of corn. An EEL stand
from good seed Is the only way to
grow n profitable crop.
Test the planter well before taking
it to the field. DO not spoil a lot of
ground and waste n lot of seed trying
to find out whether your planter Is
reliable or not.

SHOPS AND SHOP KEEPERS,

The d~esirability of a locality as a
home depends largely upon the char
acter of It's shop and shop-keeper,
No one can find much comfort in a
town, where the neeessaries of life
are not within reach, and therefore,
high-elass shops and shop-keepers, do
much to draw people into a locality
and develop it. In many cases the
merchants are pioneers, going into
new districts. stalking their energies
and capital in building it up. Most
of the wonderful development of Falls
City may be credited to the business
men and women of the section. who
have either in~stigated or Loyalty sup
ported every movement that would
benefit the commercial or social in
terests of the community. The mer-
camille establishments conducted by
these gentlemen equal and in many
cases surpass those found in other
handsome appointments of the stores
and the artistic display of the mer-
chandise. Attractive show windows
line and beautify the principal
thoroughfares and are much in evil
dence throughout the city. The mer-
chants of Falls City are, as a whole,
a representative body of men and
women; each of whom is a master
of his particular line, striving to eater
in the best way to his or her trade.
That they succeed is evidenced by
the great volume of business done in
the territory. 1t is to these public
spirited men and women that thanks
are due for making this work possible
and the compiler desires to expires
his sincere appreciation of the our
teous people who have so generously
assisted him in this effort.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF THIS
SECTION.

A powerful attraction to business
enterprise and new commercial pro-
jects in Falls City and Richardson
County consists in the fact that this
section has not yet had its full de-
yelopment. The fact that it has still
to grow offers the largest possible
invitation for business to come in and
grew up with it.
BY its condition of vigorous deYel-
opment, this section presents a COM
polling contrast to other sections.
New concerns are less drawn to other
parts by reason of the fact that they
are more fully developed and do not
offer the advantages that this sec
ton does. New concerns entering
then are necessarily limited in outloo
and must compete for business now
enjoyed by other concerns.
With an unlimited agricultural field
behind It, Falls City looks into a fu-
ture greatness. A half eentury's radi'
cal progress will scarcely realize OF
attain its logical possibilities OF
growth as the focus of the vast de-
velopmental forces at work; forces
which naturally concentrate upon the
up-building of Falls City. The sec
ton commercially tributory 10 this
city is the principal scene OF indus
trial advancement today and bids
fair to continue SO until that great
territory has been brought at least TO
the industrial plane of New England
and middle western territory, which
it surpasses in natural productive
ness.
This section has become Il wonder
in the commercial world, The growth
of Il town is more than an incident
or n condition of merchantile enter
prise, 1t springs from vitality. The
growing condition of Southeast Ne
braska will carry legitimate business
along with it, 1t may be called "A
business momentum" u~nequalled any
where. 4 business will come nearer
Running itself" in this section than
in any other section we know. The
facts are we'll worth the considera-
ton of men who contemplate the or
ganization of new concerns or the
moving of old ones.
THERE Is NO PLACE LIKE HOME
TO buy anything you need in any
line. Home Trading is the secret of
the success of all communities. We
have held forth upon the boundless
commercial, industrial and general re-
sources of Falls City. but in order to
