FAEJI AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS W invttecnmmvnicattomfromall permnuhoar Interested in mattert properly belonging to this department. Stock Racing In Nebraska. moP. J. D. B'JTLEH. Lincoln, Nebraska, 1873. About the 20th of March, I took tho train from here for Chicago, 543 miles. Leaving this city at two on one afternoon, I should ordinarily have reached that Queen of the Great Lakes at three o'clock on the next afternoon. But on arriving at the Missouri I found it impossible to cross, for according to the local phrase it was " gorg ed with ice." It was as if a glacier had rushed down from an Alpine ravine and blocked up the track along a Swiss valley. Such an iceberg had not been seen there be for during this season, and it was next day swept down the river. Meantime, however, several cars filled with cattle and hogs for Chicago, were sent 1 back 23 miles to Ashland to spend the night in the yard where they had been Itept through the winter. I went with ' them in order to inspect the Nebraska style of stock fattening. 0 One yard I visited is on a neck of land between two rivers, one fresh and one salt, so that no salt is needed for the stock. The only shelter was a close fence four feet high on ono side, and hay cribs on another which broke the force of the wind. Though the' winter had been the severest ever known, the cattle were in good condition, and none of them had died. They had no covering whatever overhead. The food of the stock was mainly Indian -corn each ear cut into three pieces and shoveled from a wagon Into huge troughs scattered here and there in the yard. Wild Iiay in the side cribs was always within reach, and some of the corn, cobs aud all, was ground in a horse mill into coarso meal. . The hay cost only the cutting, being free on what in England would be called "com mons1' The corn was partly raised close at hand, ninety bushels and upward on a single acre and partly bought at 15cents at bushel. The cattle were Texas had been driven List year 1,200 miles from the far south west. The first cost was $13 per head and $0 more for driving to the yard. ' Five dollars more will pay passage to Chicago. Tho last lot of a hundred sent from this told for four and a half cents, or more thau fi fty dollars for each beef. "No business is growing faster in Nebras ka than etock-ratsing. None will pay bet "ter. Indian corn is too bulky for distant transport. It needs a condenser. What it needs it finds in cattle aud hogs. Hog skiu and cowskin make the best bags bags that hold ten times more than canvas bags of the same size. Ashland is a new town on the " Burling ton Route" from the Mississippi River to Ft. Kearney, and twenty-five miles west of Plattemouth. In that land-district over .'125,000 home-steaders and pre-emptors have filed claims at the United States office in Lincoln, and about 8,000 have bought B. & hi. Railroad land on ten years' credit and 6 fier cent interest. On land contracts since 1872, nothing of the principal is payable till the end of four years. , ' Yarletyof Food. Experience has proved that, for some reason unknown to science, variety is es sential to health, after reaching the age -when we are free to choose our food. The Irpetual recurrence of the same edibles, even though their number be considerable, becomes in all periods of life except infancy not only wearisome but positively injurious. The lack of variety in cases is due to the poverty of the poorer classes and the diffi culty of buying fresh provisions in places tretnote from markets. Salt pork, salt fish, potatoes, with pies, poor bread, and Japan 'tes are the staples of food of thousands of 'lamiles during our long winters. It should 6e understood how needful a change of diet is from time to time. Fresh vegetables, particularly in the country, are readily ob tained and 'preserved, and should be un- sparingly used. The edible roots, as tur nips, carrots, onions, and beets, and oab iage, are as well worth preservation as the omnipresent potato. . AU these vegetables need thorough boiling and more than they generally got. ' i- ty A Farmer says: My experience in .applying ashes to potatoes with the best iresult has been to put on a single handful to each hill soon after they are planted, and before they get eut of the ground. I ,&ave increased my crop one-half by so do ing. By making an experiment in the whom field, by leaving a row without ashes, 1 have seen tho result, ' I consider whes totter than plaster ; for potatoes ; worth to me 25 cents bushel. :.
