Another Valuable Product in Kansas.

From our accurate commercial reports
Of yesterday, it will be seen that another
and remarkable product of great value
has been developed in the teeming and
prolific State of Kansas. Mr.. S. NJ.
Palmer, of that State, has been raising
and fattening hogs without corn, mast,
or cereal of any kind. In the vicinity
of Brookvillc, and in many other local
itics, there grows in superabundancc 4
nutritious grass known rs the "buffalo
grass" By experiment suggcste! Ivy the
finding OF first class hogs in sections
where there could possibly have been
no grain feeding, he demonstrated the
fact that hogs could be raised and fatted
upon this grass, by the simple process
of "grazing and hcrding," so to speak.
Mr.. Palmer has gone into the business
extensively, and expects to bring hun
dreds Of hogs to the Kansas City max ct
raised and fat:ed upon this grass without
a grain of corn. Thus, q new source
of profitable industry has been opened
up in Kansas. Will wonders never
cease in the most wonderful Of States ?

The S. NJ. Palmer mentioned above,

SNAIL NE HAVE 4 cexvEyrIsy,

| 1t will DO noticed that call of the
chairman of the Republican central com
mittec of Saline county appears in an
other column. The committee are to
meet one week from next Saturday for
the purpose of determining whether or
not convention shall be held, and II SO,
at what time. There il . diversity OF
opinion upon this subject among the
! Republicans, and quite division among
the members of the committee. On one
hand II is maintained that a convention
is necessary for the preservation of par
~ organization. On the other tits urg-
ed that it is not; as there is no national
or State ticket to be placed in nomination
this fall. We do not consider tho ques-
ton OF vital importance, either way.
The best ticket in the field will undoubt-
edIy be elected. At the convention last
fall, a resolution was passed to tho effect
that tho Crawford comfy system should
be carried out at the primary elections
for the future. This system is now gen
orally considered as impracticable for
Saline county. This being the case, can
the committee consistently disregard
the resolution of the convention which
elected them! Those who favor the con-
vention, desire the old plan for their
government. We hope leading Repub-
lacans will attend the meeting Of the
committee one week from next Saturday,
and there express their views upon this
subject. Under the present circum-
stances, if the Crawford county system
is not strictly adhered to, would it not
DC better for the committee to consult,
If possible, the majority of the Republi-
cans ~ to the best course to be pursued!
We certainly think it would. 1t the
general opinion is against a convention,
lot that be tho decision of the committee.
II the Crawford county plan is desired
(Which does not appear to beg let the COM
mittce adopt it. If the majority con-
suit to ignore the resolution Of las,
falls convention, and wish to call und' !
the old plan, let the committee act at
cordingly.

We took drive few days since up

has taken great pains in putting them

tree is mulched with straw, and all are
growing finely. Very many Of them
arc already large enough to afford quite
