Gypsum, which is found in such mex
dble quantities in our county, may be
made OF the greatest use As q fertilizer,
1t may not however be generally
used in this manner, for several years
to come. But when the country be-
comes older, when crops will not
spring up as they do now almost
without any care, when the soil has lost
its freshness and richness to considera-
bic degree, then may our county still re-
tain its reputation for vast agricultural
resource by tho use fthis gypsum, which
can be had with little trouble and labor.
An intelligent and experienced farmer,
in writing to the Wellsboro Adrocate,
published in Pennsylvania says:
The use OF this article on growing
crops is becoming more and more gener-

value. Whether the gypsum absorbs

be appropriated, or is itself the direct

that its effect is extremely beneficial to
nearly every crop-perhaps. moro spec
cially to grass and corn, but it can be
used to great advantage on winter wheat
that has been partly winter killed and
needs stimulant in the Spring. Its
action on potatoes, corn, cabbagcs, etc,

Its effects arc moro observable in dry
season, when it Is almost indispensable;
but its use is known to be profitable to
the farmer in any season and almost any
crop. 1t is (aftcr good manurc) one OF
the cheapest and most accessible aids to
successful farming that can be used.

MAINE WEATHER

Although VIC have had an intensely
severe winter for Kansas, and much
complaint is heard about it from the old
settlers as well rs from the new corners
to this country, We must remember that
no lofty snow banks have been piled
around us, nor thick, impenetrablc icy
barriers have frozen up the "genial cur
rent of our souls" Now and then we
haze had days of genial sunshine, and
comfort has been experienced with open
doors and in shirt sleeves. Though we
have justly had some cause OF being
somewhat garrulous on the subject Of
weather, what must we say in regard to
the "cold season" of some of the north
eastern States. By permission Of
Mr.. G. J. p. Oaks, of this county, we
copy an extract from letter addressed
to him by Mr.. Nelson Herrin, of Houl-
ton, Maine, which shows how tn c Maine
ties are enjoying themselves:
l have just received your letter of 18th
and in reply will say, that we have not
had but one mail for twelve days. SUCH
a time never knew since have been
here, which is 81 years. The last three
weeks have been the coolest ever known,
and such storms and drifting you would
hardly believe me if l should write you
the ia is. The St. Andrews railroad has
been blocked entirely tor twelve days, and
cannot possibly be shoveled out for the
next ten days. The Bang Or and st. Johns
railroad will probably get shovelcd
through in about one week. A mail
came through yesterday from Calais,
which is the first for twelve days. The
snow is six feet in the woods and through
Linneus fifteen feet. The mercury has
stood about thirty degrees below zero for
two weeks. No one can move or go
from home until change of weather,
which must be soon.

all our products must be hauled to- that

We agree with tho Union in this par,
ticular. We cannot expect to see large
and important towns within fifteen OF
twenty miles of each other. In new
country like Kansas, tho population and
trade will support cities of much impor'
lance only at say fifty miles apart. Inc
growth of these places will be rapid,
while towns between them can only OK
poet to increase gradually as the coun'
try grows older. A goodly city can well
be built ut Junction or Manhattan, while
Salina can be the most important city
west Of them. To make large place
the natural advantage must be good

the effect that over two thousand head
of cattle have been stOlen from stock
raisers since the middle of February, and
driven into Mexico by organized bands of
thieves on the Mexican side Of the Rio
Grande river. The robbers come from
Mexico and say that they are determined
to clear the country from the Rio Grando
to the river Neucee of Americans by de-
spelling their property. The Americans
have lately held mass meeting, at which
resolutions we're adopted stating that the
frontier has been unprotected for years,
etc, and calling on the Government for
protection. They say that unless proper
protection is afforded by the United
States Government, they will themselves
be compelled to organize for protection.
The feeling is such that an invasion into
