INDIANs.


from the Topeka Record, giving ar. aceoun
of the congregation of large body of Indi
aus on the Big Blue, and'of their object
and hostile intentions on the whites.
seems to lack confirmation, however, as VI
can see no account of these Indians from
any other source. If it should turn out tc
be true that there are six thousand led
skins on our northwestern border, and thai
their intention is to attack the whites, some
steps should be taken Immediately to pre-.
pare for them.
There are all sorts of stories in circula.
ton in this community in regard to the In.
dams, and many persons are becoming
frightened, and q few have already left.
A report came here few days since that
there were 1000 Indians encamped on Cow
creek, to the southwest of US, which alarm
ed great many persons. People should
not give credence to half they hear in regard
to Indians. There is nothing frightful
about an encampment of four thousand In
dams on Cow creek. That number may
be seen every year ont there, at certain sea-
sons. Every Indian rumor should not be
circulated in manner calculated to frighten
women and children. We have known in
stances in Southern Kansas where almost a
whole community have loaded up their
wagons and left the neighborhood, on mere
rumor, when on investigation it was found
that thoPa xuos u0f az TrJ;on xu;fI,Sr Gf.-
miles of their settlement.
While we do not think there is any par
ticular reason to fear Indians now, yet we
are in favor of any movement that would
put the country in better state of defense
such as organizing companies, procuring
arms, ammunition, ETC., for exclusive home
defense, for we believe there have already
been men enough drained from this COM
munity and every other in the State. No
one should think of leaving home now. If
they are needed at all, they will be needed
here. So S - @ -iF
We see it stated that Gov. Robinson has
urged upon the Secretary of War the i'm
portance of organizing Home Guards in
Kansas, to cooperate with those of Mis-
souri,, and has recommended Capt Jenni-
son as the best man to organize and take
command of them. If this is done, as it
certainly ought to be, we shall be furnished
with arms to protect ourselves. With
good and efficient Home Guard, command
ed by the brave Jennison, Kansas could
take care of all the Indians on the west.
Would it not be we'll to take some means
to organize companies here, and try to Sc
cure arms of the Governor? We have it
from pretty good authority, that arms
enough can be procured to arm one or two
companies for home protection. Let us
move in this matter Immediately, as it is
always best not to delay. Meanwhile we
would say to timid persons Don't be-
lieve every foolish report you may hear of
Indians. Keep cool. Don't be frightened
until you have reason for it.

of white heads. All such stalks were found
setting on the surface. having nc roots down
where the ground was moist; while those
stalks growing from seed sowed deeper il
the ground, had stem or tap-root running
down to another set of feeders. and grew
| finely and did well.
now TO LEAVE THE aRoUKD AFTER SOWING.
If the field is to be rolled the next spring.
it must be done as soon as cattle or horses
can be put on the wheat without tramping
it in holes, and should be narrowed smooth
and level in the fall as soon as it is put in
the ground But, 1.-The other hand, if
the wheat is not to be rolled in the spring,
it will be best to leave it without narrowing
after putting in. 1t viii not be so likely to
freeze out. for, as the ground freezes and
thaws. the top of the furrow- slices viii fall
down and keep covering the roots as often
az they are thrown out by the FROST
Whether the French method of treating
wheat in the spring would answer a good
purpose on our soil, or suit this climate, I
am unable to say, but believe it ought to be
tried. 1t is as follows: In the spring, when
the wheat has grown to the height of two or
three inches, harrow it with light harrow;
about two weeks afterward. harrow the other
way. 1t is said to be advantageous.
WHEN TO CUT WHEAT.
Cut eight or ten days before ripe. By
SO doing you viii get more wheat per acre,
more flour per bushel, and -four of better
quality. than by cutting either earlier or
later. l have the best of proof for this
assertion. ts..~
HOW TO PUT WHEAT UP.
Put it in barn, by all means, if you
have one if not, the farmers of this coun-
ty know more about stacking than I do.
SPRING WHEAT.
Prepare the ground the same as for fall
or winter wheat. Get it in the ground as
soon as the ground will participating in
precisely the same as winter wheat. If it
is smutty, wash it in solution of sulphate
of copper (blue vitriol). lime water, salt

fully for smut and have yet to find the first

but can find plenty growing from that not

covering the wheat about two inches stir
it. well with stick; skim off all foreign
substances; stir and skim again, as long
as there is anything to skim then take out
and put in bag; let it stand over night.

oughly, when it is ready for sowing.

WASHINGTON, March 8, 1861.
The preparations for the Inauguration of the
President elect have been completed. Every
train which has arrived for the last few days has
been thropged with passengers to witness the
ceremonies, until every hotel, boarding house,
and many private residences are crowded. The
militory as well as civic preparations are COM
pleted, and should the day prove Rne, an impos-
ing spectacle may be anticipated.
Tho President elect has been receiving visitors
and making calls ever since his arrival, up to
last evening, when he determined to refuse any
more visitors until after his Inauguration. He
is very much exhausted, and deemed this course
necessary to recruit his energies
MIR. buchanan, yesterday, was visited by q
large number Of personal friends and the Army
and Navy officers here, for the purpose of taking
final leave of the retiring President.
MIR. Lincoln has expressed his determination
not to make public the names Of the members o
