Legal Notice.
William Life, Plaintiff,


John Rowland. Defendant.
TOHN ROWLAND, of the State of Ohio, will
j take notice that William Life, of the county
Of Marshall, and State of Kansas, did on the
9TH day of October. 1861, file his petition in the
District Court in the Second Judicial District of
the State of Kansas sitting within and for the
county of Marshall, and others attached for
judicial purposes in said State, setting forth
that the said John Rowland did on the 18th
day of September, AID. 1860, make and deliver
his certain prOmissory note In writing of that
date. which he promised to pay to the said
William Life one year after date, one hundred
and sixty dollars, with interest thereon at the
rate of twenty per cent per annum, until paid,
and the object and prayer of said petition is to
recover judgment in favor Of SAID William
Life, and against the said John Rowland, for
the amount of the principal of said note, and
interest thereon from the 18th day of Septem-
Der, in the year Of our LORD 1860, at the rate of
twenty per cent per annum, and the said John
Rowland is notified that an order of attachment
has been issued against his goods and chattles,

GoATs.-A goat used in Malta is the
best mixer of the family. A good
eve gives a gallon day. Goats milk
in all Eastern countries, particularly in
malarious districts, is considered more
healthy than the milk of cows and
some learned physicians in this country
declare that cows milk, in malarious
districts, is the moving cause Of many
attacks Of bilious fever. In this view
of the subject it may be well to inquire
whether it would not be to the advan-
tage Of the people, in sanitary, as
well as pecuniary point Of view, to
introduce the improved breed Of goats
into all sections reputed to be subject
to malarioHs diseases.

FLAX CULTUR E.

The following may be useful to our
readers by calling their attention to the
propriety of raising fax. There has
been but few experiments made IN Its
culture in this part Of the State. Mr.
Wallace, Of Humbolt Creek, raised
some fax two or three years ago, which
done very well. We should judge that
our soil and climate would be well
adapted to its growth, as we have a
species of wild fax in this vicinity so
nearly like the common cultivated flax,
as scarcely to be told from it when
growing. Let our farmers give flax a
trial; it will be good to make ropes
of to tie up your cattle, if You do not
make any other use Of it:
EDS. PRAIRIE FARMER: Having in
my young days been dressed from top
to toe in the production of the flax field,
manufactured on the home loom, [ am
interested in the flax question as it is
now being presented to the people Of
Illinois. / would not urge all farmers
to 90 into the flax culture; yet all who
have suitable ground, and can procure
seed at moderate prices, and can attend
to it without detriment to other crops,
may safely SOW an acre or two, without
apprehension Of loss. If nothing be
obtained but the seed, it will be better
than corn at fifteen cents per bushel.
Previous to 1925 or '3G, many Of the
farmers Of Ohio cultivated yearly a
small plat Of flax, chiefly for their own
manufacture and wear ; others purchas-
ed in the market, if l remember right,
at from six to nine cents per pound.
The labor of breaking and dressing
in that day was all done by hand, and
was hard and slow.
No doubt, if the culture should again
become necessary, machinery would be
brought into requisition that would take
the place Of manual labor. 1t was also
taken from the ground by being pulled
up by the roots by hand this was very
tedious and laborious, and no doubt can
be better done now by some Of the
reaping and moving machines in use for
grain.
The Rar brake and the contriyance
for dressing out the broken stalk from
the fibre, { | forget the title by which it
was known are doubtless in the recol-
lection of many of your readers !; and if
some one who has the faculty for draw
ing, would present you sketch Of
them, they would be interesting at least
as relies Of the past, if they serve no
useful purpose of the present. T. G.

PROFITABLENESS OF COTTON
RAISING.

/ think the soil of Kansas is rich
enough to raise good cotton. l have
never seen so poor land here as in
Alabama, which nevertheless yielded
half a bale to the acre, l doubt
whether Northern Kansas can find it
profitable, but | am certain that, with
present prices, the cultivation of cotton
would prove profitable in Southern
Kansas. The lands best adapted to
cotton culture are the river and creek
bottoms. Ii wet, they should be well
drained.
A practical man will wish to know
what he can make at it.
The customary bale Of cotton weighs
500 pounds-which is ginned cotton
being equal to from 1900 to 1900
pounds Of unglnned cotton, or cotton
in the seed.
The crack lands in Alabama produce
one bale, or 1900 pounds of unginned
cotton per acre but many a planter
makes money from land that yields
hardly 600 pounds unginned cotton to
the acre. think any cotton land in
Southern Kansas will mature and yield
$50 pounds of unginned cotton, which
is half bale Of cotton, and worth, in
ordinary times, deducting ginning and
bagging, twenty-seven dollars, and now
worth twice as much.
A gin will cost, in Albany, n. Y,
sevcnty-fve dollars. Any good carpen
ter or machinist can set it up, and
build the same to press the bales. One
gin and press will answer four contlgu-
Gus townships, and the owner thereof
can afford to gin and bale the cotton
furnishing bagging and rope, which can
be purchased in St. Louis-for one
seventh. The customary prices in Ala
bama are one-eighth and one tenth.
would advise planting half the crop
in the last week in April, and the
remainder May 10th. l think the cot
ton plant is as hardy as the tomato.
Any one raising cotton must remember
that the whiteness and cleanliness Of the
cotton enhances its value.
Let some Of the farmers of Southern
Kansas make the experiment with one
or two acres, and if it could be raised
there, a good cotton factory Of small
dimensions would prove profitable among
them, and render the cultivation remun-
erative. Were l planting the seed,
should prefer the upland seed to the
Sea Island, as more nearly adapted to
this climate and soil.-Cor. Conserr-
atifr
