barlc}', oats and corn, with an occasional feed of millet. Millet 

 I also feed to all of my cattle once a week. 



PROFITS. 



In regard to profit, during the last two years — 1878 and 

 '79 — my net earnings from my cattle have averaged over twenty 

 per cent, per annum, and as I am now prepared, I think the 

 next two 3'ears will net me thirty per cent, per annum. This 

 I consider a good investment. 



It is my intention as quickly as possible to seed my land 

 to blue grass and clover for pasture, sowing timothy for hay, 

 and fence tlie farm into forty acre tracts. It is an established 

 fact that these tliree crops of grasses do well here. My inten- 

 tion is to rotate crops and alternate pasture. 



I can assure any one who has vim, energy and character, 

 tliat just as good openings can be made upon almost any land in 

 Nebraska. Having resided in thirteen different States, I think 

 I am able to form an unbiased opinion, and I do conscientiously 

 say, tliat in no place have I found so many advantages and so 

 few disadvantages as here in Nebraska. My advice to all who 

 seek a home is, Come and see, and be convinced. <

FURNAS EVERGREEN HOME FRUIT FARM. 



My experience with fruit growing in Nebraska commenced 

 in the Spring of 1856, and then, with many misgivings and 

 doubts, I confess, for we had known the region west of the 

 Missouri river as the great American desert. Success from the 

 first was gratifying, and my expectations more than gratified in 

 the end.
