HEALTH BULLETIN.

The health Of our community
is, at the present, pretty good in
the main; but there are several
rather serious cases of sickness in
our midst.
Mr.. A. d. Way, who has been
for several weeks confined to his
room and rendered almost entire
" helpless by rheumatism, is now
slowly improving.
Mr.. Armsbee Diggs of this vi
cinity, sick a few days from a vio-
lent attack of Pneumonia, though
perhaps a little improved, is still
regarded as in q very precarious
state.
Judge jeremiah Smith, attacked
near the same time, with the same
disease, is very seriously sick at
this writing.
Moses L. Snattinger, the cloth
Ter man, was attacked with some
sort of fever few days since
quite severely, but is now better.
We think there are a few other
cases that we are not so well post
ed in, making a pretty good sick
list for our community at this sea-
son of the year.

qualities. Our best nurserymen,
East and West, agree that low
topped trees are most likely to
escape being winter-killed, and are
also protected from injury by the
direct heat Of the sun. These
trees are grown on clay soil, are
adapted to this climate, and are
not likely to be injured by removal
to any soil in this part of the west.
The assortment of Pear, Cherry,
Peach, Plum trees, and Evergreens,
is good; besides Grape-vines,
Gooseberries, Straw
berries, DC. There is also a large
collection of Fine and Hardy
Roses.
From the care with which every
thing about the grounds is mapped
and registered, and from Mr..
Ludy's well known character, we
are sure that customers may rely
on obtaining the varieties they
order. j. B. II.

THE SORGO CULTURE.

One of the mostparticular points
in all cultivation is to secure GOOD
SEED. This is particularly i'm
portant in regard to the Sorgo, it
having a strong proclivity to
amalgamate with some other
growths, as the common broom
corn, dc. Many cultlvators have
nearly failed in this part of the
country from carelessness in this
respect. As mentioned elsewhere,
we expect to have a lot of the pure
"Otaheitan" on hand in few
days. We think we shall be able
to obtain another supply lift should
be needed. 1t issnot intended to
make any money by the operation.
We respectfully ask a careful read
ing of the fourth chapter of Mr..
Hedges book, on the subject of
planting, which we reproduce be-
low:

Those residing in the north are
warned to avoid the trouble and

SOILS, AND SEASONS OF
PLANTING.

There has been great remissness
under this head. Farmers seem
to have thought too little of this
crop, and hence seldom make q
good selection of soil, or give that
attention in its preparation that
would insure the best results.
There is no plant more feeble or
sensitive in its early growth than
this; therefore, the selection of
soil, as well as its preparation,
should receive especial attention.
Where it is possible, l would I'M
derdrain, and pillow very deep; al
ways prefering a clover lair, if
possible, or other newly-broken
ground to that of fresh-manured
lands, as it has been repeatedly
shown that the cane will partake
of the character of the soil. An
instance is reported where sulphur
and salt was put upon the ground
before planting, and the strip
partook of it quite distinctly. n
free use Of lime or ashes will be
found advantageous, especially
upon the lower tables of land.
These trials should be made and
reported for future guidance
would recommend planting in q
ridge rather than the furrow, rs
the seed needs the warmth of the
sun, and freedom from the cold
rains of May, to terminate.
The ground for this crop, car
not be plowed too deep, as its
roots penetrate to a great depth
even as far as three and "a hal
feet, to which depth | have traced
them. As before indicated, | an
satisfied that the African cane vii
stand a much stronger soil thar
the Chinese.
1t would be altogether useless L
attempt the naming of any par
ticular date for planting. Season,
differ; and, therefore, can only
say, plant as early as the ground
by being dry and warm, seems
fitted for the seed, and then plan
shallow-vERY shallow.
The seed should, previous Il
planting, be soaked in warm wat

DEATH OF DIR. GILPATRICK.

Some days ago Mr.. Putnam, a
brother in-law of DIR. Fitzpatrick,
received a telegraphic dispatch
from Gen. Blunt simply announc-
ing that the DIR. had been killed.
No particulars were known of the
affair till yesterday, when the
Leavenworth Conservator came to
hand. The Doctor had been acting
as sort of general manager of the
Indian country out there, and
having a son in Col. Phillips com
mand, he went out with them to a
place near Weber's Falls, where
they came up with the rebels and
routed them. DR.. Gilpatrick had
gone to dress the wounds of a
rebel soldier, when he was basely
assassinated by small number of
their dispersed force who came
out of a thicket for the purpose.
DR.. Gilpatrick had been a
prominent and successful Ply
stefan for several years at New
Madison, Ohio. He removed to
Kansas in '55, and took an active
and efficient part in all the early
troubles of that new and perse-
cuted commonwealth. He was a
member Of the first Free State
Legislature; dispersed by Gen.
Sumner in SO, and held many
other important offices, all of whose
duties he discharged with ability
and honor. Few men have done
more for Kansas or for the Union
cause in the South west, than he.
He was both uncle and brother
in-law 10 Gen. Blunt. Mrs. Gil
patrick and their only daughter
are now here with Mrs. Edger.
and another son, besides the one
with Col. Phillips, is at a Naval
school in Rhode Island.

formerly Editor of the Winchester

an occupant of the Libby Prison

will receive some favors from him
at point blank range which will be
a compensation for their delicate
attentions @hile he was in their
hands.

but we will be supplied again in a

a single barrel one cent per gallon
better, the book is paid for; besides
the satisfaction of feeling that he
is posted up to the time on the
subject.

er until an appearance of germin-
alton is perceived. This, in the
Imphee, will require about two
days; in the Sorghum, nearly six.
1t has usually been recommen-
ded to plant in rows running
north and south; but, from some
considerations and facts occurring
to me, am inclined to prefer
rows running east and west. The
west wind storms are the most de-
structive, and a crop planted in
rows running in the direction of
winds will, of course, stand much
better than one the rows of which
are transverse to such direction.
| saw one field this season in
which the matter was fairly test
ed. In the portion planted north
and south, the crop was laid pros
trate; in that part, on the contra
~, wherein the rows ranged east
and west, the crop was unmoved.
1T is well to know that this
cane will bear transplanting, as |
have fully proven, four or five
years since. In this way missing
hills may be supplied, or early
crops grown, by starting in hot
beds, and transplanting in May or
June.
Il would especially caution
farmers against planting seed
without first having tested its ca
pability of termination; then, hav-
ing satisfied themselves on that
point, let care be taken not to plant
too thickly. If planted in rows,
they should be fully four feet apart;
and if planted in drills, abont four
or six inches between each Seed

This cane, however, remained in
the yard about five weeks. and,
when worked, the juice possessed
very little Of the usual green tint,
and scarcely changed the color Of
the litmus, being nearly free Of
acid. Soils possessing less lime
can be greatly improved by the
use Of it or house ashes upon the
hill during the cultivation.

Soon after going to press this
week, IL not before. we expect TO
be in receipt OF a consignment of
the Otaheitan cane seed in tufts,
from Mr.. Hedges himself The
principal superiority claimed for
this variety. is the greater tendency
of the juice 10 granulate. Mr..
Hedges himself is not so sure
about this, having seen about as
good specimens of sugar from the
other varieties. But he wants to
see the matter fairly tested. 1t is
the Oom-s ee-a-na of its native
place, and can be found figured,
among the other varieties, on page
