AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

The Kansas State Agricultural Soci-
ETY. win hold its Seventeenth Annual
Fair at Topeka, Sept. lib.
For the week ending June 10, the re-
ceipts of wool at Chicago were ,S9i ,960
pounds. and the shipments were 1885,
677 pounds
The Michigan Farmer thinks the
greater part of the wool in Michigan
will have been sold by the close of this
month. 1t doesn't think there is danger
of prices falling, so that those who can
not sell at once can wait without anxiety.
A central Illinois correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says the oat crop
is light, and the hay crop the lightest
for many years. The winter wheat is
reported as good !; corn promises well.
A large amount of old corn is reported
to be in the possession of the farmers.
An experienced sheep feeder is re-
ported as saying that one pound of
grain per day for sheep was all that
he had ever found It profitable to feed.
Last winter he fed 313 sheep, using five
bushels of corn daily and all the hay
they wished to eat. The kind of sheep
fed is not stated-probably Merinos.
A much larger amount of tobacco
will be planted in the Connecticut river
valley this year than ever before, accord
ing to q correspondent of the Country
Gentleman. Large amounts of manure
have been purchased in New York city
for the tobacco ground, to which it is
applied at the rate of LOO to 400
bushels per acre.
An Iowa correspondent of the West
ern RatrdI thinks posts should be sci
eight feet apart for wire fence, and that
there should be a good solid post every
40 rods to stretch the wire on. Five
| wires, the first one foot from the ground
the next two at distances of eight inch
es, and the next two, nine inches apart,
is the arrangement he recommends.
Mr.. Garreisee is writing a series OF
articles for the American Rural Home
about farms he has visited. He says he
has found some who have faTmed fol
money, and others who have made nc
money. Recently he has found one
who, more wisely as he thinks, has
farmed for home and a good living
and who, when asked if his farming
had paid, said: Eyes, l have lived here
| 30 years, and lived WELL" Mr.. G. thiuki
| this was all that was necessary, as ht
/ says he never saw a more desirable
home.
Rev. T. W. Clarke visited some of thu
Agricultural Colleges of this country
last summer, by appointment of thu
Commissioner of Agriculture of tn
Province of Ontario, and gave his pref
erence to that of Michigan. He decid
eddy favored the establishment of sep
arafe institutions, rather than making
agricultural departments in existing
Colleges or Universities. Recently sew
eral gentlemen from the same Province
have visited the Michigan Agriculture
College, and are said to have all hell
the same views as did Mr.. Clarke-il
favor of separate establishments and o
making manual labor compulsory OIL
the students.

THE NEWS refers to the corruption of the
democracy Of New York city. This is the
bulk Of republican political capital. We are
glad they have one instance Of democratic
pronigacy to cite -EHDorfG Ledger.
We are glad, also, because it proves
what the country would De under DEM
ocratic control. 1t seems that kind
Providence, in his wisdom, has left this
one instance in existence to warn the
people against the party that undertook,
deliberately, to destroy the American
government. One instance has proved
sufficient, 30 far, and we don't know
any body but the democratic Office
seekers that is anxious for another.
One is plenty. May the good Lord
deliver us from the disgrace Of another
such specimen of democratic corrup-
ffAt,

WHERE THE MONEY CONES FROM
1t has been standing inquiry where
the money used by the Missouri, Kansas
81 Texas Railway, in the construction OF
their extended lines comes from. Per-
haps the following little item which we
clip from commercial exchange, may
afford some light on the topic:
"a marvellous event in IAancieriug
took place in London two weeks since.
Bonds of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railway Company were put in market
on Tuesday morning. Before the Stock
Exchange closed that day, every dollar
was taken up, and the bonds rose to
three per cent. premium. On the same
day about two millions of bonds were
offered in Amsterdam, and not only
taken but two millions more asked for.
The results are said to be unprece-
denied"

much better for them to invite immi-
grafton and enterprise than to raise the
old sectional howl about ringers"
''carpet-baggers" and constitutional lib
critics." The only constitutional liberty
that will satisfy them, we suppose, is to
allow them to rule or ruin. AS the DEM
ocratic party allowed them to plan and
nurture rebellion, during its rule,
they plead in eloquent terms for the
return of that party topower. Their ac-
ceptance of "the situation" is hollow
mockery in view of such language as
their leading papers and speakers daily
put forth.

Maine conference haTing already chos-
en- their deleg ates. Elections will con-
tinue to drop in from this time till the
end of next April. The case of DR..
Lanahan is expected to form one of
the chief cases before the next confer
ence, and it will be great Issue in all
the elections, so that the present act
ton of Bishop Ames tends to draw
not only the general conference but
the whole church into active cOntro-
versy on the book concern troubles
interesting matters becoming mingled,
and will nc doubt bring about at last
full and fair investigation of the
much discussed book concern frauds.
1t is believed here that the Presi-
dents return to Washington has been
fastened day or two by the trouble
between Boutwell, and Pleasanton. In
the administration paper here to-day,
Pleasanton's removal was based on
more tenable ground than unharmony
between the subordinate and superior,
and rests upon the allegation of q
large falling off in revenue, a tenden-
cy to jobbery, unwise and unnecessary
settlement of cases involving vast
amounts of money, and of general
inefficiency in the administration of
the Office. The civil service commits
sioners will meet here Wednesday
noon for the organization and adop-
ton of some plan by which statistics
Of the civil service of the different
countries of Europe may be obtained.
After this is done it is believed that
the commission will adjourn until o.
tober.
Gen. Sheppard, chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, Missouri, is
expected to return here with President
Grant, and great anxiety is felt as to
the success of their mission, for the
removal of Gen. Smith, postmaster st
st. Louis. The petition for it is couch
ed in strong terms, and signed by col.
lector Ford, E. w. Fox, marshal New
comb, Ex-Governor McClurg and nu-
merous other important Radicals, set
ting forth that Gen. Smith is not con-
sidered a Republican, and has failed
to commit himself either. way. The re-
moval of supervisor Mcdonald, is like
wise demanded in the same petition,
wherein he is said to be morally and
politically unfit for any Office.

Brick Pomeroy's Democrat does not
support the new departure" dodge of
the democracy. Neither does the dem
ocratic nominee for Lieutenant Govern
or of Kentucky. They both denounce
the "new departure" as a virtual sur
render of all the ideas that are dear to
the true democracy. Pomeroy's paper
has an immense circulation and support
from democrats, while the other man
will be elected to state Office by dem
ocratic votes. Thus two representative
men of the party, bold enough to speak
their honest convictions, denounce the
milk-and-water platform of the Ohio
democratic convention.

The MAN WITH NOTHING TO Do -
Some of the friends of T. A. Scott are
O little solicitous lest he should be out
of situation this summer, and are en-
gagged in hunting up railroads 200 or 800
miles long TO enable him to take the
Presidency, just to keep his hand in.
This is well enough, as he is only Pres
ident of five roads, including the Union
Pacific, Vice President of twelve, in
Guiding the Pennsylvania Central, Di-
rector of thirty-three, and General Con-
solidator for all the balance. He keeps
four secretaries busy looking after his
iron, oil, silver, gold, quicksilver, lead,
slate, steel, coal and wild land interests ;
devotes few leisure moments to steel
rail and locomotive manufactures,
steamship lines, bridge building and en-
cheering; finds relaxation in running
the Pennsylvania and Virginia Legis-
lstures, and entire repose in directing
Congress, the President and the Su-
preme Benchfu all that relates to his
claim of road throughout the land. In
of all this he is married. His
locks are slightly sprinkled with gray,
but this comes of years, not care. His
face wears s sunny smile, and is as
cheerful as robin in May. 1t is well
that his friends look after him, and time
is not permitted to hang heavy on his
hands.

The New York Economist of the 10th
says: 1.-THE estimated crop of wheat in
the United States in 1869 was 25S, OOO, 900
bushels, and that or 1870 212,OO0,OOO to
225,000,O00 bushels. The dry season of
1870, with the small growth of straw
and the increased weight and superior
quality of the crop, gave probably q
larger yield than the estimate. The
incoming wheat crop is now estimated
one-third higher than two weeks ago.
The leading operators to-day estimate
the surplus for expectation at 10000
tons. Some think the crop will not fall
much short of last years

The abundance of money in the mar
ket is a great thing for the new rail-

railroad enterprises. There was never
ANYTHING seen like II before.

The Lawrence Journal has the fol-
lowing, which is of special interest to
people here:
The Journal, yesterday, published the
important news of the virtual adoption
of the Wakarusa Valley line by the

Company. Yesterday Gen. Deitzler
received information that the directors
of that road had ratified the lease. 1t
was ratified by the Wakarusa Valley
directors on Thursday, SO that the mat
ter n1sy new be sSnTidSrOd ~ ssttled.

informed his Cabinet officers that he
desired the business of every depart

that it could be closed squarely at the

will enable the departments to balance

been done before since the organization

Historical facts become strangely
muddled at times. During the strug-
gle of the Commune, Dombroski told a
correspondent that bride of 100000
francs was offered him by the Versailists
to betray Paris into their hands. The
Independence Beige, states on the con-
trary that on the eve of occupation of
Paris by the Versailles troops, Dom
broski proposed to n. Theirs, who re-
jected the proposition, to deliver the
city for that sum. In reference to Gen.
eral Cluseret, it is also now stated, that
while Minister of War in the Com
mune, he commissioned an American
to proceed to Versailles and offer, in his
name to n. Theirs, to cell the gates of
Paris for 10000, 600 francs. Theirs de-
clined this tempting offer, but some
having been aroused in the
minds of the Commune regarding the
purpose of his visit to Versailles, Gu
seret was arrested by that body on a
charge of treason. This is the way in
which mans pothumus history is
made.
