The rapidly of settlement has been
largely owing to the recent extension of
railroads through these land districts.
But these roads could not have thus de-
veloped the country, had they not run on
the parallel along which settlement natu-
rally flows. Had their lines been far north
or south, population would have been no
more increased by them than the entrance
fees exacted at the gates of Florence were,
when stupid duke thought to double his
revenue by doubling the number of the
CITY gates, or than the early growth of
Illinois was accelerated by laying it all
out in town lots, SO as to leave no land for
farms.
Regarding matters educational in Ne
braska, the present Governor thus speaks
1--WE already have more organized schools,
more school houses erected, and those of
superior character, more money invested
in buildings, books and apparatus, than
were ever had before by any State of our
age. We have land endowment embrac-
ing one-eighteenth Of the entire area Of the
State. The value of local buildings
ranges from one thousand to two hundred
thousand dollars each. l am of the
opinion that our whole educational system
from common school to university, can,
with sound and careful management, be
made entirely Independent of State aid
within very few years."

some distance off detached from the wheel,
and almost completely Strengthened out.
The feathers were blown from chickens
almost as clean as they could have been
picked. Two houses belonging to Jacob
Hooper, about quarter of mile from
Surgeons, were next visited Mr.. HIS
family occupied one and another family
the other. The houses were, like the
others, completely demolished, but the
families escaped without loss of life. One
of the houses was built of logs, which
were scattered in every direction. One
log was thrown across the bed in which
the children were lying at the time, but,
strange to say, the children were un-
harmed.
The next place was the log house OF
Andrew Brazell, about quarter of mile
east His wife and child were in the
house. The logs were scattered in every
direction, and, strange as it may seem,
both escaped serious injury. A large
granary filled with corn and oats was
scattered to the winds.
The next house blown down was that OF
old Mr. Rosenbury, about half mile fur-
Their on. Mr. r. had large family, who
were in the house; the storm came sud-
denly, and almost before they knew 1t
the house was demolished The family
all escaped with the exception OF child
about seven months old, which was blown
from its mothers arms and dashed to
pieces. Household furniture, Outhouses,
and everything of movable nature, to-
tally disappeared, leaving the family en-
tirely destitute. Mr. r. also lost a lot OF
stock. Mr.. F. Dumbauld, who is Master
of the Kansas State Grange, lived on the
adjoining farm, and was the next sufferer.
His house met similar fate to that of the
others, and one of his children was killed.
A large barn filled with tobacco was also
blown down, and it, with its contents, is
total loss. The farm houses of Is. Il. Ad-
dis, John Frog and Mr.. Gwinn were also
demolished. They were occupied by
their families, but we have not heard
whether any of them were injured or not
The house of widow woman by the
name of Hooper was also blown down.
She had quite large family of children,
| one of whom was instantly killed, and an
other disappeared and has not yet been
found. 1t is supposed the latter was
blown into the creek and probably
drowned Mrs Hooper had her arm
broken in two places. 1t is also rumored
| that Mr.. Saulsbury's house was blown
over and one of his children killed. 1t is
! impossible at present to form any idea OF
| the extent of the damages Suffice it to
say that the portion of the country
through which the hurricane passed is
completely laid waste, and the inhabitants
are in an extremely destitute condition

The Tornado in Kansas.

The Neosho County (Kansas) Journal
gives the following particulars Of the re-
cent severe wind storm in that section:
From Mark A. Patterson, Esq, of Lin
coin Township, in this county, we learn
the following hurried particulars of ter
rible wind storm which occurred in that
township on Thursday afternoon last about
three O'Clock, in which seven persons were
killed and ten wounded, and an immense
amount of property destroyed.
From Onr informant we learn that the
terrible hurricane commenced at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Joseph Reynolds, about
three miles northwest of Jacksonville
His fences were scattered in every direc-
ton. posts were torn from the ground, and
a hen.house was lifted some forty feet in
the air and scattered like feathers. The
wind evidently then rose and took south
easterly direction, doing no further dam
age until it reached the residence OF Mr..
Black. He with his family were inside
the house when the wind struck 1t am
completely demolished it, without mo-
ment's warning being giving to the in
mates. Nearly every member of the fam
ily. consisting of seven or eight, was more
or less iniured-Mr Black himself proba-
bly, MORALLY.
The storm then suddenly took north
east direction, toward the farm OF >. w.
Bogard, quarter of mile from Blacks;
Mr.. Bogard's house had its roof blown on
and one side blown down, but the family
miraculously escaped injury. Two houses
adjoining Bogard's were then attacked by
the storm, and soon nothing was left OF
them. They were unoccupied.
The frame house of Hezekiah Smith was
next in order-some two hundred yards
further on. 1t met similar fate. Mrs
Smith was seriously hurt, but will probacc
bly recover. Mr.. Spurgeon, Secretary OF
the Kansas State Grange, lived about
quarter of mile from Smiths. his
house, which was occupied by himself,
wife and six or seven children, and MS
father and mother and brother. was I'LL
ed from it's foundations and blown 10
atoms. Mr.. George Sturgeon was not at
home at the time. The old gentleman
received injuries from which he died on
Friday; one child had its arm broken IN
two places, and another its leg broken.
Outhouses, wagons, fences, etc, were
blown to pieces, and a lot OF STOCK
was killed. One wagon tire was FOUND

An "HOnest" Thief.

In October last lady who lives in One
Hundred and Twelfth street had her
pocket picked i'm Central Park, losing a
purse which contained $1275, visiting
card bearing her address, and lock OF
hair. Within few days she received the
pocket-book, minus the money, and the
following letter written in scrawly hand,
and evidently by an ignorant person:
DEAR MADAM: / found this pocket book
to-day, Oct 4, about o'clock, in Central
Park. There was about s12.35 in it. 1t came
very nice for me, for was rather short in the

On Thursday last young man rang the
bell at the house Of the recipient Of this
letter, and asking for the lady by name,
was shown into the parlOr Without un-
necessary delay he pulled out his pocket
book and handed her $12.75, saying as he
did SO, II hardly expected to pay you so

Great Ideas.

1t is a little mortifying to think how
many good mechanics, merchants, law
yers, doctors there are, and how few good
men. But that is not first which is
spiritual after the bud the blossom,
after blossom the fruit. All this mere
material work is to serve as basis where
on mankind is to build up character.
Noble things are the John the Baptists
which run before the great Messianic
thoughts which You and l are to build
into some kingdom of God here on
earth. A great idea will become a great
many things A true one will become
beautiful institutions, noble women and
noble men. One great truth Jesus of
Nazareth broke into eight fair beati-
tudes that smaller men might the better
carry it. What wonders they have
wrought and are working still What
great ideas are now starting in the
world Great truths-nothing can stop
around you will shiyer If you are
good-natured, men will be apt to know
it, and to respond to your good-nature.
Men are as much perceived that carry
good-nature in society, as spice-wood is
that carries sweet odors. God bless
good-natured men, sand multiply the
number of them There is no danger
of there being too many men no are
s.s4 s~aiIy- frritated, who lock on The
bright side of things, and who tend to
solace-men that you can cushion on,
and not touch the hard angles of an ex-
acting, concientions spirit-men who, in
ship, or house, or store, or shop, are so
sweet that they suggest the more genial,
the kinder aspects of human life. /
would not have all the world good
natured. / would not have good-nature
to be the only and supreme grace; and
there is no danger of its being so-not
the least But where there are SO many
other sterling qualities, we need lubri-
cation. And blessed are they that move
around about in society so as to lubri-
cate it. There are many such who are

How to Trap Rats.

The best and cheapest way to catch
rats that have ever known, Is to select
the place most frequented by them, and
take a common post anger and bore a
hole in the ground from six to eight
inches in diameter and three feet deep.
Remove all the earth that has been
excavated, and all straw or sticks
entirely away, leaving the other sur
roundings as near as possible the way
you found them. Ii the weather is dry
and it is hard for the rats to get water,
pour little around the trap; if there is
plenty OF water, put very little wheat
flour around it. You now have one of
the best rat traps ever known. In their
wanderings at night for food and water,
many of the rats not seeing the trap
viii fall into it, and raising a cry,
others coming to their relief will fall in
also. 1 have seen as high as sixteen
caught in one night, among which were
all sizes, from the common mouse to the
full grown rat. When they are once in,
it is impossible for them to escape, as
they can neither dig, climb nor leap
out.
TO get them out of the trap, take a
small stick and place on the end of it a
large wire with sharp point, made in
the shape of an arrow head. This,
when stuck in them, viii hold them
until you can carry them away some
distance from the trap to kill them.
Try the above plan, and if you do not
succeed in catching rats I shall never
say ''rat trap" to you again. Central

Ventilation of cupboards.

II the sanitary arrangement of houses,
even for the richer classes, the ventila-
ton of cupboards is neglected. In
places let out as tenements, closets are
the receptacles for bread and the frag-
ments of various other kinds of food.
Often the dirty clothes are put away in
these places waiting for the washing.
1t is therefore important that air should
be plentifully passed through such cor
ners generally, there is but little ar
rangement made for this purpose. The
doors are kept close without any perfor
alton. There are no ventilators IN the
walls, and, in consequence, those places
become cases of polluted air, which,
when the doors are opened, escapes over
the apartments. This defect is visible
in nearly all houses of old date; and
while looking at some houses of recent
construction, it is seen that, although
care had genera been taken to ventil-
ate staircases and rooms, the cupboards
are in this respect neglected,

Apple-Trees on the Red Clay Land.

In an interesting description of Mr..
Peters farm, in Gordon county, Georgia,
Mr.. Howard says
Mr.. Peters apple trees planted on
red clay have gradually died out until
almost the whole orchards is destroyed.
He strongly dissuades those desiring to
establish permanent apple orchards
planting the trees ON red land. The OBJ
servation runs over the period in north
west Georgia from 1910 to the present
time. Trees planted on grey or bottom
land have survived and done wetl.
Trees on red land, on the contrary,
have perished. They grow luxuriantly
for ten or twelve years and then decay
The excess of iron in these red lands is
probably the cause of the short life of
the apple tree.
Red clay lands, similar to those In
Gordon county, Georgia, are so exten-
sive on the Atlantic slope in the south
ern States, and in the valleys west of
the Alleghanies, that we may well study
their relation to fruit-trees, as the APP
pie and pear (not to name others) and
to wheat, clover, timothy and other I'M
portant crops. / set out an orchard ia

four hundred Shockley apple trees,
among others; and since my connection
with the Southern Cdltiuator in 1S47,
my attention has been more or less
turned to the natural defects and re-
sources of the red clay hills, plains and
valleys of the south Numerous analy-
ses of these clays justify the remark
that they contain, generally, twenty
times more iron than lime while near
| ly one-half of the ash found on burning
the wood and bark of the apple tree is
lime salt. In the absence of lime in
proper quantity, iron in clay is apt to
run into an acid salt like copperas and
do harm, especially on ground whose
subsoil is compact, and not sufficiently
drained when cultivated. This iron
salt (copperas or sulphate iron, is de-
composed by an application of lime,
and gypsum is formed while the iron
becomes harmless, being quite insolu-

the founders of the first agricultural So
ciety in New York in the last century,
Chancellor Livingston, says:

Experience in Butter Making.

correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, in answer to an inquiry, gives
his views as follows
It is asked-Does not the washing of
butter cause the loss of its aroma ? We
are sure-no. It has nothing to do
with 1t. 1t simply washes the milk out
more readily, and saves labor in work
ing out the buttermilk with paddle.
IT rather assists in retaining the aroma
and the gram or TIE butter The IauIG
with many butter-makers, they work the
butter too much, thereby destroying
both the grain in it and the aroma also.
For the benefit of young butter
makers we will give some of our prac-
tice and experience In butter making
Our milk-house stands with the floor
elevated about one foot above the sur
face of the ground 10 by II feet, and
nine feet high with two screen win
dows in the centre, on either side, ex-
tending from the floor upward 4 feet,
and 81 feet wide. 1t has glass windows
same size, hung ON hinges on the inside
to shut out the freezing air In cold
weather. But when the weather is not
severe the air has free circulation all
over the surface of the milk, conse-
ouently the milk remains sweet longer
and the cream raises better than in any
other underground cellar or house !;
we always use two gallon tin milk pans,
and do the milking in tin buckets. We
churn in an oak churn, of the old dasher
kind. Never let the milk stand over
thirty-six hours in the summer, or for
freight hours in the winter. If it
should stand longer in the former case,
the cream would get too sour; in the
latter, too bitter and of course the
butter In either case would be spoiled
before it was churned Wash the but

cooled then work well, but not too
