How we Farm in Central Nebraska No. 14. For the Patron and Gleaner. J Different farmers have differ ent ways of getting their corn to market, owning to distance from place of delivery, means at com mand, or rjerhaps other circum stances. I will however give you my way of marketing, as nearly all others follow the same plan, or one similiar to it, when they can. My corn will be gathered and in the crib or On the ground; I sell to some buyers for market price and agree to deliver in a ew days, or as soon as I can, or perhaps a particular day is agreed upon, but this is seldom necessa ry, as a few days difference in delivering seldom cuts anyhgure. Next I find out when I can get a sheller to shell it. Shellers are sometimes very, busy and cannot come immediately, sometimes they can come? at any time. I like a steam sheller best and al ways get one when I can, although a good many farmers like a horse power sheller best and will not have a steam sheller if they can help it. Then I engage all other men and teams necessary, these 1 get from among my neighbors. My neighbors help me then I help my neighbors in return, the same length of time when they have the same kind of work to do, or I may work at some other kind of work for them if it suits both of us to do so. In this way we get our work done without pacing, out any money for hired hep, when we can, but it is some times necessary to hire part of the work done. -r I secure 3 men to shovel corn into the shelier, then as I live just 2 miles from the elevator I secure 7 men with teams and wagons to haul; if Ijlived further away I would need more, if Hived hearer I wrould not need so many. This working force of course, in cludes such as I have of my own. I like to begin early in the morn ing when I can even if I only have half a day's work to do. The first wagon to arrive in the morning will be the first to back up to the sheller ' as soon as the sheller is ; set; the second wagon to arrive will back up to the sheller, by the side of the first. As soon as the first wagon is full it will be hauled away and the third wagon to ar rive will back up to the sheller in its" place, thus each wagon takes its place in the procession as it! arrives in the morning. When the first wagon is loaded i i- its starts immediately to ;the ele vator and when a little oyer one fourth of a mile On the road the second wagon will start after it, thus when all are at work there r will be a string of loaded wagons from the sheller to the elevator at a distance from each other of a little over one one fourth of a mile. As soon as the first wagon . , -1 -1 A ll ! Zi. is unioaaea at me eievaiur it comes immediately back to take its place at the sheller after the last wagon is loaded; and so each wagon, as soon as it is unloaded will come back to take its place i '" - ' -I . " at the sheller. The drivers usu ally have to drive their teams back in a trot in order to keep the sheller going, though it is a good j plan to have one or two extra wagons' handy to be used in case some -of the drivers should not; get back in time. It lsjuot a good plan to have too many teams and d rivers because the re is some times delay on the part of the. sheller and this gives the drivers time to get back. . f ! We bpard all hands aud feed all teams when they are here at meal time, and as soon as the work is done every man returns to his own home. - I will either go with the last load or afterwards, or perhaps the next day and receive the val ue of the corn, most likely in the form of a check on the bank. ; , A load of corn is about 50 bush- eis.

Answer These are some re sults which would certainly fol low: , As the product of sold and sil ver mines is nearly equal in their coinage value, the free coinage of silver and the full restoration of its money function, the volume of- legal tender coin would be dou bled.' It would restore to their form : . - - i . -i er commercial value the farms of the country! and give better pric es to all farm products. It would have the same effect upon factor ies and their products as upon farms. It would; encourage new enter prises, which would give better and more constant wages to all wage earners. It would give instant relief to the thousands of enterprising men who are now on the verge of bankruptcy, occasioned by a shrinking of the money volume and a corresponding shrinkage in the commercial value of the prod ucts, of industry. It wbuld enable the world's toil ers to consume more of the neces saries, and enjoy more of the com forts of life, as silver has always been the money of those who cre ate wealth. - It would lessen the demand for a corporation or bank currencv. A credit money which cannot be ! j had without paying an interest for its use,: compelling the pro ducer to share his honest earn ings with : the nonproducer. Bankers, who supply the curren- - - i I .' . n - . cy can j sojourn at Saratoga or Long Branch at the expense of those who use bankers' debts as money, j ' It would enable the taxpayer to meet the assessments made upon him for; the support of our ex travagant Government J ! It would enable the Govern ment more easily to pay the bond holders,! the salaried officers, the annuitants by utilizing one of the precious metals laid up in store for us by a wise and beneficent Creator.!

Bunch, son of W. L and Kate Bunch, in the sixteenth year of his age. Ed. was a gpod boy and though in the morning of life, we feel that he was ready for the Master's summons, and has only gone before to welcome his loved ones to a haven of perfect rest; and - j . - Whereas, as a Sunday School, we feel deeply bereft and mourn his early departure yet bow sub: missively to the will of Him who is "too wise to err and too good to be unkind," believing his spir it has been wafted by angelic forms to the home of the blessed, i and that he is now supremely happy in the presence of that dear Savior, whom he loved on earth; therefore be it Resolved 1. That we extend our deepest sympathy to the grief-stricken parents, sorrowing brothers and sisters,! and sincere ly hope that each of them may heed, his wise admonition and earnest request to jmeet him in Heaven, and we pray that the Savior may tenderly sooth their wounded hearts, and at last, when life is over, reunite them on the other shore. . Resolved 2. That a copy of these resolutions be; spread upon the minutes of our Sunday School, and, a copy be sent to the. bereaved family; also a copy bQ,sent to the Patron and Gleaner, and one to the Orient with a request to publish.

Every newspaper in the land has commented on William Jen nings Bryan's great speech be fore the Chicago Convention which ' nominated him for Presi dent and whether in accord with him or not all have conceded him great power. We make the fol lowing extract from an editorial in the Washington Post an inde pendent gold bug paper: What amazes us is that he should have been able, by the mere act of mounting a rostrum and deliv ering a twenty-minutes speech, to dislocate the process of the con vention machinery, to obscure every veteran aspirant then in view, to change men's hearts, to divert the course of theirpassions and their preferences and to transform a serious and delibera tive Jbody into an instrument up on which he played as Pan upon his pipe, as the blind prince of music upon his immortal harpsi chord. On Thursday afternoon, at a time when Bland seemed to be the leader in the race, when Boies was a laborious second, and when McLean, brainiest and most con servative of them all, was enact ing the roll of the dark and dan gerous horse, this .young man Bryan suddenly .appeared, tall, shapely, handsome as a Greek demigod, classic of outline, im passioned of address, thrilling with his tremendous message to the people appeared like a fairy upon a dull and lifeless stage, and in one moment threw 20,000 hu man beings into a fever of inde scribable exaltation. He called back from the vanished past the witchery of Orpheus, thejnagic of Demosthenes, the irresistible forces of the great Napoleon. He stood there, and with a dozen fi ery phrases he convertedthought f ul men into fanatics; he changed them as" utterly as' the wizard changes Ihe toys he plays with on te stage. In all "the annals of politics there was never such a scene. We do not wonde r that in the following day, still palpitating un der the spell of Bryan's wondrous eloquence, the convention turned to him asa needle to a magne t It may not be capable of analysis, it may not be coldly and accurately i demonstrable. The fact remains, Bryan swept the floor of the con vention as the fire sweeps the au tumn prairie. The delegates went j to him in a strange passion of de sire. Nothing could check the fury of their bent He was nom inated slowly atfirst swiftly next and at last in a wild crescendo of enthusiasm, he was lifted on a whitecap of animosity and thrown high and dry upon, the beach of his surpassing triumph Idaho's "Sinking Mountain We are told that we are sepa arated from the molten liquidJ which fills the interior of the the earth by a crust of "earthy matter" which is only 18 miles thick, and f in some places the crust is actually believed to be much thinner. In Idaho, for an instance, it would not take much argumeut to make some of the geologist believe that it is less than 1,800 feet to the molten inte rior outposts of the globe. The reason that the earth's shell is believed to be very thin in the region named is the known fact thae some of the greatest moun tains in that State are actually settling down through it Ac cording to recent measurements it has been ascertained that at least four different peaks in the State mentioned are from 14 to 26 .feet lower than they were in 188fX It is believed that these mountains have been gradually sinking into the earth for years, but no cause has as yet been as signed for the phenomena. It will be remembered by readers of "Notes for the Curious" that we recently gave an article in this department concerning the sinking mountains of Georgia, which is considered the greatest wonder in the South.

SELF-SHAPING DECISIONS ARE THE ONLY SAFE GUIDES TO FOLLOW. ' "Next to the matter of select ing a wife--which in a majority of cases is little more than a leap in the dark the most important problem which a yonng man has to confront is that of deciding up on his trade, business or profes sion," writes Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst D. D , in August La dies' Home Journal. "Almost any young man's1 decision as to what he is going to do will mean the narrowing of his preparation, whereas all success that is fairly worthy of A the name means breadth of preparation. A man needs to get a good mass of foun dation under him if he is going to put either a high or a wide struc ture on the tpp of it; and if he knows too i soon exactly what it is he is going to do, that mass of foundation will not be forth coming. In all cases where it is possible itis ' a great deal better for a man to get the knowledge first and then let that decide what the vocation shall be, than to decide the vocation first and let; that determine what sort of knowledge he shall accumulate. "If a man 'is in earnest to do the best 'that is in him it will be much to his advantage to get ov er the feeling that there is any hurry about actually . settling down to his life work. It is a great deal wiser to drift and to do almost anything that offers, as a temporary arrangement than to make up one's mind finally and irretrievably to an employment that may possibly.be a misfit and that will involve, therefore a cer tain amount Of failure. We can safely depend upon it that in the case of j a man who has a strenu ous purpose there is a certain gra via ting tendency between him and the work he is best fitted to do, and if that graviating tenden cy is not hnrried too much it will assert itself, and the man, with- out any excessively painful searchings of heart wUlfind him self where he belongs, i Alone this line , the only safe decisions are the decisions that shape them selves, 'and that we settle into without being very distinctly conscious at any time that a con clusion is being reached.''
