Suffering Kansas.

The following circular appealing to the
charities of the people of Vernon, will eX-
plain itself Mr.. Wheeler was formerly
resident of Pomfret, in Windsor and is
known and vouched for by Hon. Crosby
Miller and many others in that section.
To THE CHARITABLE. - Charles G.
Wheeler, OF Smith county, Kansas, is sent
among you for the purpose of receiving
any contribution of money, clothing, or
food, which your benevolence may prompt
you to give We have have been scourged
and rendered destitute by the Grasshopper.
Our county is very new, having been set
tied only three yeaIs; and like all who are
living on the frontier, we became very
poor and were lily prepared to withstand
the destruction of our corn crop. But
little wheat was raised in the county-not
enough to last the remaining inhabitants
until January 10. 1S75-and the potato crop
was failure. And we are driven as last
resource, to the necessity of asking
you to give us a little of your abundance.
We are confident that as the spontaneous
patriotism of the people was found sufficient
to save the nation in its hour of peril, so
will their spontaneous benevolence and
charity be sufficient to maintain any portion
of its people, who, through circumstances
over which they had no control, are desti-
tute and in a suffering condition
In behalf of woman and children who are
to-day on the verge of starvation, we pre-
sent our claims to you. We assure you that
contributions will be forwarded to the des-
titute and needy at once, and faithfully dis
tributed to those who stand the most in
need. Shall we ask in vain?

plan manufacturers have attempted TO make
inferior articles, and sell them at cheap
rates. But farmers have learned that the
guano with twelve per cent Of nitrogen is
worth more than one with only ten per cent,
and that a real superphosphate containing SOL
uble phosphoric acid is worth more than one
in which the phosphoric acid is insoluble, and
they therefore give the preference to such
articles. The result is competition based
upon goodness Of quality, rather than low
prices. And so a ton Of superphosphatc or
bone-dust costs no more than IL used TO, and
is better by half, and further, by this means
the inferior articles and humbugs by which
our markets have been infested are more eff
fectually kept away No man in England
is better prepared to Judge Of these matters
than DR.. Voelcker, for il is in great measure
to the efforts of the Royal Agricultural So
ciety, in difusing agricultural knowledge,
and 10 such men rs its chemist, DR.. Voelck-
er, that these improvements are due.
The same rules hold good in Germany as
in England. Professor Eichon. of Berlin,
who from his official relation to the Prussian
Board of Agriculture, as well as from his
long experience in the agricultural expert
ment stations, is as well prepared TO Judge
as perhaps any one, remarked that while he
considered the control system exercised by
the experiment stations, through analyses Of
fertilizers, as absolutely indispensable, as
we'll for the protection of the consumer from
fraud as for the encouragement Of honest
dealers, yet that their chief utility consisted
in the interest and vigilance in these matters
that they excite among the farmers them
selves.-Journal Of Chemistry.

CUT YOUR HAY EARLY.

Experience has demonstrated the fact that
dried grass is not unlike dried herbs. That
is, that when either are cut and dried when
in blossom, and a decoction made therefrom,
it will invariably be stronger than when the
plants have been allowed to go to seed be-
fore being cut. II is an inevitable law of
vegetation that when the plant is matured,
the powers that have brought it to maturity
having fulfilled their mission, they are with
drawn and dispersed among their original
elements. The true principle is to cut the
grass as soon as it reaches its perfect state,
and the one best adapted for feeding purposes.
This is just before the starch, sugar aud
gluten Of the plant have gone to the forma-
ton of seed, or have been converted into
woody fibre
The intelligent farmer is now well aware
Of the fact of the advantage of cutting his
grass before the elements named are appro-
priated by the plant for the reproduction of
the species. The fact is, grass should be cut
when the juice is all in it, and when there is
nothing hard or innutritious in the stalk
Hay made at the right time is twice as valu-
able as the woody product of many of our
meadows. Prejudice may lead some horse
men to purchase hay made from grass of
which the seed was fully matured. Such
hay requires that grain should be fed with
it, in order to make it equal in all respects
to that cured at the proper time.
A careful series Of experiments has shown
that "when the grass FIRST springs above the
surface Of the earth, the chief constituent Of
its early blades is water, the amount of solid
matter being comparatively trifing; az its
growth advances the deposition Of more
indurated form Of carbon gradually becomes
more considerable, the sugar and soluble
matter at first increasing, then gradually
diminishing, 70 give place to woody sub
stances )" the saccharine juices being in the
greatest abundance when the grass is in full
flower, but before the seed is formed. II
hay making the value Of the aftermath 1.-THE
second crop of grass the same season) must
be considered, and this is much increased by
cutting the grass when in flower, and the
meadow is not so likely to suffer from the
heat of the sun. 1t is much better to cut
the grass too early than too late.-Colman's
Rural World.

GOLD FISH AS FOOD.

fish are a good eating fish, but he tells the
Germantown Telegraph his story as follows ::

would keep soul and body together, and
that there are many waters suitable for it
where no good fish would thrive; that it
was good for other fish, was handsome to

your waters so that the children and ladies
can take their little pail when they 60 fish

wish TO say word in behalf Of a root
crop that is not properly appreciated
that is now grown, excepting by a few. only
as garden vegetable, but that deserves
prominent place among our field crops, par
ticularly with dairy farmers. l refer to the
parsnip. 1t does not require much better
soil or more cultivation than the carrot or
beet, and it is one Of the richest and most
nutritious roots for milch cows that know
of. Cows fed with them will give more milk
and Kicker milk than upon any other root
that know of. Mangolds and carrots will
not keep very well until grass comes. The
mangods in particular have decayed so fast
that was obliged to finish feeding them as
soon as l could make the cattle eat them up,
in order to keep from losing them. Parsnips
will keep all winter where they grow and
will be the better for it. When the ground
thaws in the spring and other roots are get
ting scarce, while grass does not come for
ward, the parsnips can be dug and will be
found in their prime, and the cows that have
come in with calf, or that have been in milk
through tho winter will soon show you that
they will pay about twice as much for them
as they do for beets. This is quite an inn
portant consideration; to have root for
cattle feeding that can bo kept sound until
late in the spring. Boston Journal.

EARLY CUT GRASS BEST.

The German papers publish details of
series Of experiments carried on at the agri.
cultural schools of fatherland, for the pur-
pose of testing the nutritive properties OF
grass and hay at various stages. The ex.
periments were initiated by the excessive de-
mand for forage in Germany, but are not
the less valuable on that account. BY an
elaborate series Of analyses, ii is shown why
young grass is more nutritious than mature
grass. Tho physiological experiments show
that it is more easily digestiblo. Thus grass
p inches high contains nearly so per cent.
more of albumenoids than grass which is six
inches high, and 10 more Of "crude fat"
The mature grass contains more woody fibre
and less flesh forming matter than the young
grass, and, besides this, it is found that the
nutritious albumonoids exist is 4 less soluble
form in hay than in young grass. Hence
the difference Of nutritive value and digesti-
bility. Autumnal hay was found to be
more nutritious and digestive than summer
hay.

A TRAP FOR CUT-WoRMs.

There is no trustworthy. remedy against
cut-worms except actual catching and killing
them. Any application to the soil sufficient
ly strong to injure or discommode them
would certainly destroy the crop, and all the
recommendations to use salt, carbolic acid,
and other similar substances may be set
aside as useless in practice. We have trap
ped them in various ways, beneath chips,
stones, and in holes punched in the ground
with smooth round stick, such as an old
broom handle. But unfortunately in these
cases they are caught only after they have
spent the night in destroying the young cab
bages or corn. Finally we hit upon the ex-
pedient of surrounding the hill or plant with
a ring Of holes close together, and in this
way caught great many of the pests every
night. Making so many holes with single
stick is a slow process, but with a contrivance
which is described below, the whole ring of
holes is made at one stroke. An old shovel
handle is split for about foot with fine
saw. The split portion is soaked in boiling
water to soften it, and the ends are inserted
into holes made IN hoop or ring of wood
two inches wide, one inch thick, and eight

ring there are inserted number Of pieces
of an old broom handle projecting two inches
and placed not more than quarter of an
inch apart. When this is pressed into the
earth around hill of corn or a cabbage
plant, it leaves circle of smooth round holes
two inches deep with compact sides and bot
toms. The cut-worms fall into these holes
in their nightly rambles and may be found
and destroyed In the morning.

On the authority Of M. Paget, bufFaloes
arc celebrated for giving richer milk than
is yielded by any other animal. In south
Hungary and Transylvania no gentleman
considers his breakfast complete without
buffalo milk with his coffee. Good mixers
yield about six quarts Of milk per day.
The buffalo must not be confused with the
bisons, which are easily distinguished by
their highly developed dorsol vertebr@, Civ
ing them an extraordinary hight at the
withers, and also by the long hair which
covers the anterior portions Of their bodies
The European buffalo is in color completely
black hair, skin, hoofs and horns all par
take of this sable hue. The limbs are short
and thick the body massive, the head large,
the forehead arched and narrow, the muzzle
large and black, horns low, placed triaugu-
larly at base, furrowed across and directed
backward aud downward, finally turning up
wards towards the point. The buffalo is
indigenous to Asia, and is also fennd in Af-
rica. II was introduced into Hungary by
Attila in ABB, aud into Italy by King Agil-
ulf in 59l-616. 1t was carried into France
in the twelfth century, although it mover
came into general use. In 1907 the En-
peror Napoleon introduced the buffalo in the
hope Il might prove useful upon the "landes"
of the West. The animals were neglected
and left to themselves, and at last, becoming
almost wild, would speedily have been ex-
terminated by ERE arms had not NJ Lalane
interfered 10 time to save few Of them.
Upon the low lands on both sides of the

DROPPING soFT EeGs.

Il. r., Hamilton, N. Y, asks us tho cause
Of hens dropping soft eggs. There may be
many causes for this, aud it is not always
easy to discover the true one. It is no
doubt constitutional with some birds, as
abortion is with some other animals. The
food sometimes has something to do with it.
1t may arise from want of sufficient lime
in the food to form the shell. Ground oys-
ter shells or bone should always be in reach
Of the hens. Lime from shells is better
than lime from stone, as it has once been in So
luton, and will more readily dissolve and as
similate again. Ground bone, or phosphate
of lime, is still better than oyster shell, and
also furnishes the material for growing bone.
Food containing ergot, as sometimes the
grain or grass may, will produce this abor-
ton. There are fungus growths in vegeta-
bles that may produce it. 1t is recommend
cd to separate hen dropping soft eggs frou
the rest Of the flock, change her food. and
keep her quiet. Lime water should be Civ.
en- for drink, and il very feshy, feed spar.
ingly. 1t has been found that very rich
food will produce the soft part of the egg
faster than the shells can be formed. And
in such case, a diet Of mashed potatoes, oil
some food poor in Albumen, is best for few
days. As general rule, poultry should be
supplied with great variety Of food. We
have no doubt. in many cases, il is want
Of the proper elements in the food tha
causes these soft eggs. Some feed too much
meat, which is mostly albuminous, and would
form the soft part of the eggs faster thar
the shells, but if meat be given only as I
small part Of the food, mixed with starchJ
food, such as patatoes, corn meal, boiled tur
nips, beets, ETC., all the elements will b.
supplied in proper prOpOrtiOu.-Iiue Stocl
