Strangers comm. here to look at the country
very often ask, why it is that there are not more
wheat stacks, corn cribs, etc., to be seen They
must bear in mind that the products of the
country are consumed from year to year as
fast they are grown, by the steady immigra-
ton that is coming to Kansas. That is, we
have more actual consumers among us than
we have producers. A steady immigration is
passing through going Southwark which con-
stantly consumes our surplus products. Every
new family that comes here has to buy the
most of their first years provisions, and by this
means granaries never full except
early in the Fall Farmers here find good
market at home for all they can raise, in fact,
the supply IS scarcely equal to the demand

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted

The extraordinary event Of two line days In sue

their first match game, having for their opponents
the young Mohawks, from South Brooklyn managed
to draw 10 the Union grounds yesterday some two or
three thousand spectators. The playing was not
fully up to the expectations OF many, and although
the rust was very apparent on many of the Mutuals
the exceedingly fine pitching OF Martin gave but few
opportunities for their opponents to make any great
display OF their batting prowess But very few hits
were made TO the field, and those were generally
well taken care OF. Calvin felded fully up to his
old style. Devyr, Swandell and Bearinan had
little TO do, but they did 1t well. Martin
and Jewett did the bulk OF the work, and the
score shows how IL was done. or the Mohawks
