1983Shirk v. Schmunk, supra. It should be remembered that the principal utility of this evidence of ordinary use of the land is not to demonstrate the adverse possessor’s subjective intent, but rather to demonstrate that the true owner had notice of the adverse claim; thus the proviso that it is enough “that the land be devoted to the ordinary uses of the adverse claimant provided the uses are such as to put the true proprietor on notice.” (Emphasis supplied.) Weiss v. Meyer, 208 Neb. 429, 433 , 303 N.W.2d 765, 767 (1981).
