be given, and every aid possible extend
ed to those Of our farmers who are at
all acquainted with its habits and mode
of culture, to embark the coming season
in its earnest cultivation. While the
Government is supplying Illinois with
seed, 1t would not require great add
tional exertion to extend its fayors in
that way to Kansas. And we have no
doubt all that is necessary to secure
that action, is similar interest in be-
half Of the latter, manifested on the
cotton seed question By her representa-
tives. to that exhibited by those Of the
former State. As to Legislative in
ducemcnts, we think the suggestions of
a correspondent Of the Topeka Daily
Rec0yd Of tie 18th inst, altogether
unnecessary, and very unjust to other
struggling interests in the State. We
DO let believe it necessary to tax other
branches Of industry to stimulate the
production of even cotton in our midst.
So far as the profit is concerned, if
there is not inducement enough for Its
cultivation in the empty markets of the
world, and the inevitably high prices it
must bear for the next, and perhaps
many other succeeding years, we do not
believe that the temporary bounty pro-
posed will afford such additional stimu-
lation as would secure its permanent
production in this State. If it can be
raised here at all successfully, it seems
to Us that thirty-six cents per pound
the present market valuc-includes a
sufficient bounty.-Sfate Journal.

SUBSTITUTES ED.. COFFEE.

The high price Of tea and coffee has
induced many to adopt substitutes for a
morning beverage. Go where you will,
you hear the subject discussed, and
stepping into houses You are RECALLED
with the order Of burning peas, rye,
barley or whatever is designed for a
substitute. That some Of these articles
will make very palatable and whole
some beverage we think no one will de-
ny. We give below some of the recipes
that are floating around, and have been
recommended:
RYE CoFFEE.-Take a peek Of rye,
and cover it with water, let it steep or
boil until the grain sweels or commences
to burst, then drain or dry it. Roast
to a deep brown color and prepare as
other coffee, allowing twice the time for
boiling Served with boiled milk.
ANoTIIER.-Take some rye; LIST,
scald it; Cd, dry it; Sd, brown it, and
then mix it with one third coffee and
two-thirds rye, and then you will have
as good cup Of coffee as you ever
drank.
SWEET POTATO CoFrEE.-Another
writer III one Of our exchanges gives the
following recipe for the preparation Of
a substitute for coffee. We give it for
what it is worth, never having seen it
tried:
" Take sweet potatoes, cut them fine
enough to dry conveniently, and when
dried, grind them in coffee mill, dry
them by the fire or stove, at this season
of the year, or by the sun, when thst
viii DO it; grind and use, mixed with
coffee in such proportion as you like.
Some Of my neighbors omit half of the
coffee and some more"
BARLEY CoFFEE.-Take common bar
ley Or the skinless il it can be obtained,
roast as you would coffee, and mix in
such proportions as suits your taste
1t is very good.
Pea CoFFEE.-It is probably known
to many that a very large per cent. Of
the ground coffee sold at the stores, is
common field peas roasted and ground
with coffee. There are hundreds Of
thousands Of bushels of peas annually
used for that purpose. Those who are
in the habit Of purchasing ground cof-
fee can do better to buy their own peas,
burn and grind them and mix to suit
CARROT CoTFEE.-Is recommended
by an exchange. Cut up, dry and
grind, and mix with coffee in quantities
to suit the taste.-Pr0iyie Farmer.

PROFITS OF SHEEP RAISING.

From long article on the rearing
and management Of sheep as practiseC
On the farm Of 4. B. Mcconnell, Esq.
in Sangamon county, H., which We
find in the Prairie Farmer, we take
the following in regard to the profits Of
sheep-raising. Mr.. McConnel's flock
consists Of about five thousand head,
all fne-wool sheep. The basis Of this
flock was about six hundred Of what
was called the American Merinoe, be-
ing slight cross Of the Saxon upon
the Spanish Merino. His flock has
since been improved BY the addition Of
the pure French and Spanish Merino,
and his flock now consists Of that cross.
Our space will not permit US to give his
manner Of raising and taking care Of
sheep, but will try and do SO hereafter !:
" The average weight OF fleece OF the
whole flock the past season, was FIVE
pounds four ounces. Five hundred viii
average eight pounds each, and there
are some ewes that SHARED fourteen
pounds, and bucks that 60 much higher.
The price Of wool varies, but forty
cents is the average counted on.
eve could easily see that with
this amount CT wool, the number of
sheep sold for mutton, and the increase
in the number of lambs, that wool
growing was profitable, but was not
satisfied with generaIitics, so with the
aid Of our Intelligent and gcntlemanly
host, figured a little, something after
this wise:
g Suppose man buys, no matter
where, one thousand fine wool ewes,
with the necessary number Of bucks, for
which he pays two dollars and half
per head, the account VIII stand thus

Cotton.

Cotton was, in the early settlement O.
Southern Illinois, grown with, it is said
complete success. In the present pros
pect Of dearth in the Northern mar
kets OF that indispensable commodity
the cnterprlsing citizens Of that State
lind a proper stimulus to efforts for the
re-appropriation Of lands in that section
Of the State to the production Of that
plant. There probably has been no
great Or permanent change in the eli
matte and other conditions in that local
ity affecting the growth Of that plant.
SO the argument THAT it has been
grown there in times past with success -
is sound and practical one. 1t is re-
ported by parties who ought to know,
and who ale reliable authority, that
5000 acres viii be planted in that
State the coming season. Atan ordin-
airy yield, the aggregate harvest from
that number Of acres viii be 1900. 600
pounds, which, at present quotations in
the New York city market, would bring
nearly one and a half million OF dollars.
The Congressman representing that
State are interesting themselves in pro-
curing through the agency Of the Gov
crnmcnt, a supply OF the best Sea
Island seed with which to inauoursta
this important branch of industry.
Now 1t seems to us 10 be an inter-
estlng question for those Of our Kansas
farmers who are acquainted with the
culture of that textile plant, to consid
er whether if cotton can be grown with
success in Southern Illinois, it cannot
also be cultivated with success here
There have been some experiments with
the plant in our vicinity, and We are in
formed that the parties making them
who are entirely converSant with its cul
vation-are well assured that it can be
grown here ordinarily favorable seasons.

who came from the cotton growing

of the result of his essay in its cu!tiya-

Record has noticed specimens of cot

grown in that vicinity. There have
been, too, in that and other papers Of
the State, brief articles, evidently writ

habits and requirements of the plant,
discussing in most favorable terms the
