NEBRASKA IN I87S. 
Cost and Result of Farming on 
the Prairies. 
The people of Nebraska can now estimate their 
position : They have come through the horn, and 
out of the right end. It was hard upon them last 
year ; but, in the grand history of the settlement 
of this continent, what state is there which has 
not had to undergo a period of trial? In this 
respect, Nebraska has suffered nothing in compari¬ 
son with her western sisters. The only check 
there met with since the state was settled, was last 
.year; and now, in the year 1875, the land is heavy 
with a bountiful harvest. Farming, the safest ot 
all pursuits, is safe in Nebraska. The right man— 
the good farmer—is in the right place in Nebraska. 
The land (cheap and fertile) is there in abundance. 
Those who occupy it have assured the future for 
themselves and their families—that Is, if they carry 
to their work skill and industry. No man, there¬ 
fore, should struggle with rented lanJ, or with 
limited or unfertile acres, while excellent farms 
in Nebraska are waiting the taking.
