Dkatrick, Nebraska, Mareh SO. In view of the het that be many people In tbe Eat are looking toward tbe Weal for new homeland cheap lands, I take tbe liberty of addressing you, hoping that a few facta concerning this part of the New West may net be uninteresting at least te these whose yes are already turned this way. Nebraska has an area of 50,000 square ml I c. The soil Is a rich blaek loam suit able for the production of crops of all kind?. The richness of the soil Is fully demon strated ty ttie I Aat that many farms In tbe elder portions of the sUte have been suc cessively cropped for twenty yean, and bow no diminution In the yield, although m fertilizers of any kind have ever been used. The population of Nebraska In 1878 was 300,000. In 1SS8 It la one million. nie county, the third county In tbe H'ate In wealth and population, la located sixty nillea west of the Missouri river, and borders en Kansas ea tbe south, la twenty, four miles wide atid tblrty-slx miles long, Is watered by tbe Big Ulna river which runs diagonally through the county, and is fed by numerous large streams that thoroughly water every part of the county and give her a perfeet natural drainage. The character of the oell Is such that It la Bultable ter the production of all fruits and grain common te tbla latitude. Cern, wheat, eats and barley grew iu profusion and yield abundantly. The most -profitable business la this etate is stock raising and tbe con verting into beef and perk of the immense ern crop raised aunualty. This inaurea much lower freights In getting the farmer' product te market. The large number of packing houses being lecated In our midst insures the feeder geed prices for his cattle and begs, and this in turn Inaurea the farmer geed prices for bis grain. REWARD FOn THE 1NDUBTIUOUH, A man must set expect te rind wealth without work In this oeuntry. It Is no place for the Idle man, but te the actlvo,energetIo farmer whose limited means preventa him from owning a farm in the Cast, we aay oemo te Nebraska, feellugassuredthat such a ene will And a rich reward. Te the man ufacturer no wlder or profitable field can be found. Manufactured articles of all kinds have te be shipped from Eastom pelntB at heavy expense, while If located here, the manufacturer would find a ready market for all his product right at his deer, while the raw material can he had within eay react). laproef of this we could olio numerous instances where factories have been started but a few yoars.sluce in an exceedingly small way and upon very limited capital that new employ a small army of bands and de an Immense buslnes. Water pewers along our streams are numerous and but await tbe cemluft of some enter prising manufacturer te help him reap a rich harvest. Tbe educational and relig ious advantages of Nebraska are unexcelled by any state In the Union. The permanent school fund of tbe state is new $2,000,000 and Is constantly growing. Tbe iuterest en tbla sum Is distributed unnually among tbe schools of tbe state. Gage county alone has ene hundred and iUty-one school house?, In all of which school is bold at least six months of the year. The prairies are dotted with churohes, representing all denominations. The population of Nebraska Is composed principally of people from tbe Eastern atates, who as a rule are enterprlsing, in telligent and hospitable, and a atranger Is sure el a warm welceme and a helping hand In case of need. Te any ene contem plating a change of location we would sug gest that he take a leek at Nebraska. H. L i:vixe rUlll.IC INaTAL.LTION.
