The news from Europe is of anexciting character, and the prospect seems good for considerable ofa scrap between little Greece andTurkey. If the other Europeanpowers stand back they will see oneof the bloodiest fights that countrvhas witnessed for some time. Thenews has had a decided effect onthe markets in this country, especially in wheat.

American exports of iron andsteel in 1S96 were 125 per centgreater than than they were in1895, the amount having- - been 205.- -367 tons last year as against 89,000tons the year before. This extraordinary increase is significant because it was not the result of anyunusual condition here or elsewherebut followed as a result of legiti-mate trade enterprise and competi-tion.

CONSERVATIVE FARM METHODS.

Editor Tribune- - It is said thatwith every returning spring "hopesprings eternal in the breast of thefarmers." With the farmers ofnortheast Lincoln county thereseems to be no great exception tothe general rule.

Not for several years has theground been ladened with more.moisture than at present. Therehas been a notable absence of highdrJ winds which has characterized and prevailed in Nebraskain the last few years.

However, crops are not made orassured by a propitious spring open- -

ing.In some cases quite the contrary.

We have had very good and bounti-ful corn crops on very short stalks.and sometimes little or no corn onlarge and tall corn stalks. In thefirst case the fore part of the sea--

son was what is .characterized asbeing dry and the latter part of theof the season a plentiful supply ofmoisture fell, forcing a good yieldof corn on small stalks. In thesecond case the fore part of the season was wet, growing a large stalkand the latter part of the seasonwas dry, there not falling enoughmoisture to. make but little cornand in some cases no corn at all.Tlie same may be said of smallnrmtn T71i n f-- c OP m t n rrl r wne rnniLUlli) II JwW.ll 11) IJ UO Willing a good crop of wheat and oatshas been blighted or cut short by alack of necessary moisture at thetime seed was forming and ma-

turing. On the "other hand latesowing, poor stand, bad cultiva-tion the cereal has made a fair cropby a maximum amount of rain fallat the time the seed was formingand maturing. Other years onlythe best prepared and cultivatedland have given any fair yield orreturn of the seed sown.

These facts lead us to but oneconclusion and it is this: That ifthe farmer would be a successfulcrop grower in Lincoln county hemust be able to keep the crop grow- -

r until the seed is matured. Toreduce to a minimum crop failure,we are told to irrigate, fertilize andintensively cultivate the. surfacesoil.

This latter method is to conservethe moisture and Increase the depthof unused moisture from year toyear, storing the moisture downdeep in the soil to be used in a yearof possible drouth. Irrigation.fertilization and intensive soil culture are old methods in theory andpractice. Not all lauds are situated or suited tQtheabove methodson as large a scale of farming asfarmers haye'beeu in thehabit of cul-

tivating in the last few years without a very large out lay to the indi-vidual farmer on the first start.Too much ground has been takento cultivate in many cases. Acreswith scarcly reasonable limit havebeen planted and while yields havebeen most bountiful in good sea--

We are still selling goods at the prices quoted in our last ad

been the general rule. Smallerfarms and better improved methodsof farming are gaining favor. Themore conservative farmers are cultivating smaller acres and usingmore thorough and diversified methods of general farming. A thorough reading of agricultural papersand attending and taking part infarmers' institutes will be found tobe very helpful to the one who istrying to make farming a success.Oh, but farming is old, says one.So are other professions' ana-'th- e

men who make their respective call-

ing a success are the men whostudy their business in detail.

I once heard an old settler sayhat a man could work his arms off

and then die poor and I am inclinedto believe he was about right Itakes management along with phys

ical strength in any country tomake farming pay, and western Nebraska is not different from otherplaces in this respect.

W. A, Gregg,Willard, Neb., April 20th, 1897.

John L. Sturgeon, a farmer livingjust on the edge of Columbus marketed 1,500 head of sheep last Friday, which he had fed just sixtydays and which netted him a profitof $1,600. or a trifle over $1 clearper head. Mr. Sturgeon thinksthis is a good way to dispose of 10- -cent corn and $3 hay. Many othersare feeding stock in Platte countyand it is thought almost impossibleo lose money on the transaction,t is said that one heavy feeder

near Columbus will make severalthousand dollars on stock thiswinter.
