Our Kentucky friends tell us that this portion
of Kansas is specially adapted to the growing of
blue grass. They believe that Southern Kansas
will yet become quite famous Kentucky for
here. 1t does splendidly in western and south
western Missouri. Mr.. Leonard, living upon fine
farm adjoining Parsons, has a small patch that in
appearance equals the best Kentucky blue grass
pastures. 1t is claimed that the seed can be sOwn
ON the prairie sod aud that it will "catch." We
should not like to guarantee this result. But we
have no doubt that our citizens who pillow up their
lots this summer fall can have nice lawn by
sowing blue grass seed this wnterOr in the spring.
The best time to SOW is ON the snow, any time du-
ring the winter or spring. Be sure and SOW good
seed. Let us all have fine blue grass lawns i'm a
year so; and we hope our farmers will give blue
grass a fair trial here.-ParsoRs San.

FALL PLANTING FRUIT TREEs.-Now is the time
to begin to prepare the ground for fall planting Of
fruit trees. The nurseymen: out here in the West,
a majority of them, recommend taking up fruit
trees in the fall and covering or burying up until
spring, and then setting them out. Such was the
advice received with lot of trees that got last
fall. But having been accustomed to setting out
in the fall, although the trees reached me rather
late in the season, about the 10th of November,

with spring wheat, where the chinch bugs have

f,und that these insects work most severely on

The CHICKEN CHOLERA.-There have been
large numbers of chickens destroyed in the cas-.
tern counties of this State the present season by
what is called the chicken cholera" We think
however, that this and most if not all the diseases
of the poultry-yarl could be guarded against il
of the fowls. Many farmers and others who raise
large numbers take no precautions in this way.
They do nothing of any account until the trouble
is upon them, and then 1t is generally to late. To
raise fowls successfully year after year the best
provision mnst he made for their comfort and
health. And this is not difficult to know or 70 do.

old adage holds good in this as in other things,
that an "ounce of preventive is better than a

The betrayal Of Gen. John Morgan, the Con-
Tolerate cavalry officer of Kentucky, which re-
suited in his death at Greenville, Tenn, on the
night of Sept. 9, 1854 has been generally ascribed
to Mrs Williams, daughter-in-law Of the lady at
whose house, in Greenville, Morgan and some
members of his staff were stopping at the time
A letter has recently been published, however,
written by Gen. Gillem, whose command surprised
Morgan, to gentleman of Vicksburg, in which
Gillem gives the true version of the events con-
nected with the information upon which he acted
when he sent his brigade to surprise Morgan and
his staff. The information, Gillem says, was Civ

THE French have a story that Sir Walter Scott
once offered his Youngest daughter her choice be-
tween a dowry of one hundred thousand francs
or "Quentin Durward." She asked to see the
MS, took it surreptitiously to publisher, found
that he would give her one hundred and twenty
thousand francs, and dutifully and meekly told
her father that she would rather have the MS.
than the money. Sir Walter was deeply touched
by this mark of filial devosion. The Paris iour-
nal which tells this story, says that French girl
would never have done such . thing as that. She
wonldsmply have taken the one hundred thousand
francs, .nd-she would have found some way to
have gotten the romance also.
