Wheat Crops.

The wheat crop in Kansas this year is
likely to turn out much better than that OF
any past season-better, in fact, than almost
any of the old wheat growing States. Ac-
cording to the best information we can get
from farmers in this county and vicinity,
and from the papers in various parts of the
State, we Judge that the late heavy rains did
it no injury, and although there may still be
some danger of so much vet weather as to
cause it to grow, we think we are safe in
saying that very large and 6ne crop will
be secured.

THE MAIN BUFFALO HERD OF
KANSAS.

To dwellers in those portions of the West
where the buffalo disappeared more than
generation ago, the reports of the immense
herds still giving life to the plains beyond,
seem almost fabulous. Several Eastern
artists of note are now on an expedition to
the Rocky mountains, and under the head
of Letters from Shutdown" one of the par
ty is contributing to the New York Post.
He thus writes of the main buffalo herd of
Kansas. .e
The sight Isaw there no money could buy

buffalo stories which we hear at the East,
and the pictures which we see, must be
greatly exaggerated. In truth they are UNI,
derdrawn. For two miles on the table land
far, the earth was overwhelmed with ons
deluge of s.ampeding buffaloes. It ia lit
orally accurate to assert that one could not
see the ground between them. could think
of nothing but black sea, with humps for
pillows, and the thunder of shaking prairie

Out of every gully, from each side Of me,
poured in exhaustless streams, the lsggards
of the herd. The Falstaf bulls, who car

poisoning Of plum trees. The result was
watched, and it turned out that the cureu-
Ito, which ravaged the other plum trees in
the orchard, gave this one wide berth, and
the plums were saved to ripen.
This circumstance led to further expert
meuts, with like favorable results. The
sawdust thus saturated-which can be with
the cheapest kind of coal oil-retains the
odor for long time, which is offensive to the
fastidious tastes of the little Turk. The
borer also will not put his gimlet into the

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
PIant1ng Apple Orchards.

We have long been under the impression
brought to it merely by observation
that as rule the trees in our apple orchards
are planted too Instantly apart. Many far
mers look upon the space usually occupied
by orchards as almost so much waste
ground. They say we get so little fruit
from the ground taken up by the trees, aad
we cannot cultivate the orchards as we
should like. from injury to the roots, etc.,
so that we are forced. or the score of econ
omy, to abandon apple raising. Now, prac-
Licaliy, an orchard should be an orchard
only. Except for grass, it should be left
uncultivated, after the trees have reached,
say about four inches in diameter. Wecan
see no reason why a good crop of grass may
not be continuously produced for quarter
or third of a century, without disturbance.
A top-dressing of manure once in two or
three years, we know has produced fine
fields of grass. annually two crops. The
trees have little or no influence upon the
crops of grass; indeed, if they possess any,
it is in affording heavier swath under the
trees. ire
Hence, instead of setting out young or
chards thirty and thirty five feet apart, re-
duce the distance to about twenty feet in the
qulncunx form, and II at any time the trees
become little crowded prevent it by addi-
tional pruning. This is our theory.
The leading purpose Of an orchard should
be to obtain fruit; next, the crop that will
do the least damage to the trees. This is
grass, which will not only do no damage to
the apple trees. but the contrary. 1t keeps
the soil moist, and of an even temperature
protecting the roots against heat and
drouth IN summer. and in winter against
the severe effects of alternate freezing and
thawiug.
1t should also be remembered, in setting
out young orchards, to get the trees as low
branched as possible. They will generally
not grow SO high, while the low boughs
will protect the trunk against the intense
rays of the sun in the summer months, which
are frequently very injurious to the health
and productiVeness of the trees German,

A Fling at the Dog Tribe.

The following article, from the Ohio Far
mer, is designed for that State, but is quite as
applicable to cur own-especially with sheep
at FIVE dollars per head and wool at 75c. to
81 pound:
There are dogs that are useful, no doubt.
There are also dogs that are agreeable and
handsome pets, especially for ladies that
have nothing to do. Hunting dogs tor the

These hunter-dogs are the recipients of good

On the whole, the canine race and the
women seem to divide the affections of men
For dogs faults there are always thou
sand excuses; it is all right for faithful
dog to run over newly made garden beds,
when hog would be killed for it or shut up
in pen and fattened to be killed. A dog
may chase the cats all over the house with
impunity, when the children would be fog
ged for doing the same thing.
He may populate the house with feas;
spend his nights in barking at the moon
under your window or at his shadow, or
barking because another dog barks, neither
of them knowing what he is barking at-and
an excuse is always ready for "Bose," he is

sheep dead in his field, and tracks Bose
straight to his home, it produces no convic-
ton against the dog; it is sufficient reply
to the alf-dozen sheep whose Threats are
bitten, that ''My dog never chases sheep"
A few years since, the Legislature, fear
ing that the community would be overrun
by the rapid increase of dogs, undertook to
discourage them By taxation for the benefit
of schools and agricultural societies.
If they had proposed to tax married WON
en-, the dog owners would not have raised
half so great a commotion.
The antidog members began to be fright
ened about their popularity.
Their future political prospects were plain
ly seen to be in danger, and the whole thing
failed.
| 1t was shown that there were 100000 or
half million of dogs in Ohio, and that
they cost as much as half million of hogs.
There is or was then law giving bounty
on wolf scalps, for the better protection and
encouragement of sheep. The amount of
money paid out of the treasury varied from
$500 to 1900 year for forty years; in
fact, it was so good business that wolves
were raised for their scalps.
1t was shown that the dogs killed about
1000 sheep that year, which is more than
had ever been killed by wolves from the
settlement of Ohio to that time-and yet the
dog party carried the day

A Good Wheat Item.

A correspondent of the Leavenworth Bull
letin, writing from Franklin county, has the
following, containing hints which may be
worth remembering:
''Our wheat crop is most
excellent. Several fields of wheat have been
estimated to yield from thirty-fve to forty
bushels per acre. The grain. as a general
thing, is full and plump. Many fields will
not yield so beautifully as they would have
done if the farmers had been little more
liberal in their seed wheat. Those who
sowed u bushels to the acre. have done
much better than those who sowed less.
Let farmers make note of this, and gov
ern themselves accordingly. Rolling wheat
after it is narrowed, or in the spring, will
repay we'll the labor bestowed. Last spring
the wheat, in many cases during the dry
spell, received considerable injury. Just
before it set in, rolled my wheat, and
found that the ground did not crack open
and expose the roots, as in fields not rolled.
Try it,"

THE STRUGGLE

The labor and the woun de- are vain.
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.

And, but for you, possess the field.
For while the tired waves, vainly breaking

Far back through creeks and inlets making.

When daylight comes, comes in the HghE.

But westward, look, the land is bright.
