the above query in the affirmative. how
common, even in well educated circles,
to hear ssyou bet" "hunky," "nobby,
and like expressions, while words end.
ing with ting" are robbed of their fina!
letter, as "meetin !" "mornin'," 'cOmin'."
Then we have ''coing" for com, "mus-
ling" for muslin, mounting for noun,
tain, and other words in which final

10 similar to the improper use OF the IN,
for which We have 90 often caricatured
our English cousins And again, We
hear "ax" for ask, "fur" for far, "git
get, "tother," "taint," 'haint," "nary,
and so ON adj Lbitxm. Now in most cases
these perversicns are not for want Of
knowledge, but arc often in imitation or
mimicry until It becomes second nature
to use them; as also the broken herman
sentences 90 often heard, for instance,
chow you was" "it don't wac, and the
like.
It has been said that the Mississippi
Valley is to produce the finest race OF
people and the purest English language
on the face of the globe. 1t the latter
half of this prophecy is to be fuiniied

in our speech, avoid slang phrases yuI'

MEsSRs. EDITORs: For several years
1 have been trying to get some rela-
tions and friends of mine to come west.
One year since, the heads of three fam
lilies came. They liked the country very
much, and located three miles east OF
Mcpherson, the now county seat OF Nc
Pherson county-one Of the most love
ly spots on this green earth. l have
written many letters and answered num-
erous questions, and have thus far locat-
cd ,hirty-one men. Nineteen of them
have families and twelve arc single
men. They own sixty horses and mules,
twenty-five cows and oxen, twenty-five
wagons and buggics, twenty breaking
plows. They have ninety acres in wheat
and oats, ten acres in potatoes. The
above is on rented ground. They rent
ed old ground as far as ten miles from
home. This they pnt in before time
for breaking. They have broken 1870
acres, all in sod corn. Now they are
breaking for winter wheat. Fifteen of
us arc from Kentucky, four from Ohio,
four from Illinois, five from Iowa, and
three from Missouri. Total, men, wo-
men and children, 81. A very fattering
prospect. This little colony has spent
s3, 200 with the business men Of Saiina,
in the last six months. And here let me
say to the business men of Salina, that
they have my thanks for the iiberallty
shown to my friends. And am under
lasting gratitude to the U. 8. Land Of
fee, and their very pleasant assistants.
D. Il. Wagstaff, receiver in said Office, is
. trump card. His assistant Mr.. Blair,
is corteous and gentlemanly and runs .
No Sunday school. Hon. 7. L. Bond,
the Register, is business through and
through, and as pleasant and sociabls as q
candidate on the morning Of election.
His assistant, Mr.. Beardsley, will take d
trick anywhere. He can pick you a
quarter section quicker, fix up the pa
pers faster and ask you for half dollar
with all the grace OF Frenchman; SO
when you give him the numbers Of the
land you want, draw yOur weasel skin,
for he will be ready for that same one
halt dollar. The two last named arc
the only single gents in the Land Office.
Girls why don't you 90 for these claims!
Then comes Mr. George Skanckc, one
Of the indispensablcs OF the Land Office.
Some of the young bloods may feel 1T
tic sore toward George because ne woOed
and won the heart and hand of Salinas
Belle. But friend Skancke has heart

Comparative Value OF SO6ed and Planted
Corn Is Food for Stock.

At q meeting OF the Collin lIi.) Socia
Farmers Club, this question was debat
ed:
Mr.. George Sisson said he had found
sowed corn very valuable crops Is fooo
for cows. His success had been with
the large white Western corn had rails
ed good crops drilled in rows three and
one-half feet apart and four inches in
row, harvesting one hundred bushels Of
ears 10 the acre with a large amount OF
fodder, and this fodder he thought about
rs good as that grown expressly for fod'
der.
Mr.. Moss had found fodder corn very
profitable crop, but had sometimes, like
many others, cut it too green though
should not DO cut till the tassel is fully
developed. Sould be cured in large
shocks, there being no danger of heat:
ing to its injury if properly matured
before cutting. He sowed the Western
corn.
Mr.. Foster said his farm was not well
adapted to grain raising, but that he
could raise big crops Of fodder corn, and
usually sowed the common yellow corn
two bushels to tho acre. Thought
many sowed too thick AMI cut it too i'm.
mature; often has plenty Of cars, which
he picks of if there is too much corn
for the stock.
Mr.. Alex. Sisson had raised very
profitable crops of fodder corn with the
small dcnt-raiscd his own seed, cured
it in largo shocks-tried the experiment
with one shock six times the ordinary
size and found the fodder excellent.
Mr.. E. W. Stanclift said he could not
make it pay to raise corn for the grain,
labor being too high; but was we'll paid
for labor bestowed upon fodder corn.
He we'll fed it for all bis stock the first
half of the winter, and before that TO his
COWS and horses as early in the fall as
the carsof any are formed. Thinks the
difference Of opinion among farmers as
to its value arises from sowing too thick
and cutting too green, tho fodder then
having very little substance. Sows two
bushels of Western corn on sod ground,
on the furrow ~ left by tho pillow, then
harrows lengthwise Of the furrow. But
thinks it is better to drill it in rows two
feet apart, 90 as to produce ears; will
then produce moro milk or hesh. Fod-
der corn is the uniailing reliance Of tho
dairymsn with short pastures or . scan
~ crop.

Eloquent Profsnity q . Stcanboat yste.

All was hustle at the dock when got
there. The boat WAS taking on its
freight, and about thirty lively negroes
and one very excited and awfally pro.
fame white man were doing the business.
Tho white was a study. lie was the
mate of the vessel, and what he didn',
know about rhetoric could be held on
the point OF . knife blade by a nervous
man. The thirty negroes had all they
could well attend to to keep up with bis
new oaths, and roll on the casks. With.
out any cessation they bobbed from the
boat to the shore, and all tho while
that Mississippi eloquot,onist danced
around and swOrc. When got on the
boat, sat down and watched that man.
Being resident Of New England, l
thoughot l knew something of wicked
ness, but was mistaken. The negroes
were uniformaly dressed in pants, shirt,
aud hat. Some Of the hats were
Ornamented with different colored rib
bOns others again contained but single
brass plate-the trade mark of a retired
fruit can. Beauty unadorned is adorned
the most. They were driven like sheep,
first to the shore, then back to the boat.
Tho slightest hesitation, tho slightest
misstep, was noted by an orator, and
promptly incorporated into his dis
course. He couldn't have been more
familiar with his fathers, which it is not
likely they were.
Alter getting through at the dock, tho
boat moved up to the coal yard. The coal
was brought on in boxes with handles at
each end. Each box contained ! bush.
els, and was carried by two men. Six
hundred bushels were thus taken on J..
The Same amount of hustle and vehem-
once occurred in this transportation. The
men sweat like April, and appeared
to DO ready to drop at every trip, but the
mate hurled tonics 1T them and kept
them up. When his throat got tired he
used his boot, and used it in that whole
soled way peculiar TO Mississippi boat
man.
The negroes receive 81 day and their
victuals. / should think they would go
to somo city and got into . store.-Dan-
bury Nescs.
