Knnsns Farming.

Whenever you plant anything
flower, vegetable, shrub, or tree,
pour water into the hole before put
ting the plant in or before filling
with dirt. TO fill The hole first and
then pour water OF the ground, is
not the best way, by considerable.
Begin now, and light fires in the or
charG every few nights, through the
summer. Thousands of insects will
fly into it, and not live TO lay eggs
on the trees or anywhere else. In
fact, if this was the practice all over
the State for a year or two, borers,
etc, would almost entirely disap-
pear.
How To KEEP PoTAToEs FROM
FREEZING.-Gather your potatoes,
after digging, into dry place-if
you have barn put them on the
the barn floor; let them lay until
frost comes, then dig trench about
two feet wide, two feet deep and
any desired length; fill to within
four in hes of the top; cover with
poles or boards on the top of the
trench, leaving u space between the
potatoes and poles, or boards, then
cover the poles or boards with hay
sufficient TO keep the dirt from fallc
ing through; then cover with dirt,
about six inches; and in the spring
you will have fine, dry, sound pota-
toes, with no decayed ones. The po-
tatoes will look as fine in the spring
as when first dug. Mr.. Mornhenwig
of Whitewater, last year had only
six inches of dirt over his potatoes
and theIe was not a frozen one
among them, and while many of his
neighbors had potatoes covered in
the old way three feet deep, frozen
hard. BY keeping in dry place I'm
til frost comes the potatoes lose the
heat that is in them, and prevents
their growing; and when put in
trenches all decayed ones can then
/ be separated, aud there will be 10
change in them until spring. If it
is cold winter, and you open in
the winter, you will find sparkling
crystals of frost formed beneath the
boards, or.poles, two or three inches
in length, but not reaching the p)-
| tatoes. Our old friend Morningwig
had this spring twenty-five bushels
as fine looking potatoes as one
wishes to see. Let every one try il
and be happy:-EldOrado times.

Fighting Tie EFoppers

The Mennonites, it is said, have
no fear of the grasshoppers. They
have seen locust hosts far more des-
iructive-locusts in such hosts that
they Swallowed the sun-in the
country from which they came.
And there they raised crops in spite
of the pests. They flight the pests
with fire, and they make the fight
victory.
A farmer in Nebraska claims to
have improved upon the Mennonite
method. lie mixed three pounds
of ground birthstone with six
pounds of dried earth, and laid the
whole, as he would a train of gum
powder, on the windward side of
his farm on beezy day. This train
he fired in several places, and one
half 81. hour after it began TO bnrn
aud shoulder there was no grass
hoppers on his place. The wind
changed, however. The smoke
went through his own house, and,
like the hoppers, he was smoked
out. But this was only brief in
convenience and, in his estimation,
has found cheap remedy against
the hoppers.

The above figures show us that
Kansas, on account of her remote
ness from the great centers of pop
ulation, cannot amass wealth by ex-
porting grain.
Whatever products she exports
should be concentrated those that
will bear transportation to the re-
mote markets in the mining regions
west of us, or on the seaboard, east.
OF all agricultural productions,
those which are called animal pro-
ducts tie up the greatest value in
the least bulk. Some of them have
been given above.
Every animal may be considered
as machine, and all of the above
products as manufactured articles,
and he who, by the use of these ami
mate machines, transfers the coarse
grain of our cultivated fields and
the rich grass of our native pastures,
which, in spite of the drouth, grass
hoppers, and cold of last year, was
never more luxurant than now, into
these valuable products, is a manu-
facturer. By labor and skill he has
rendered the products of nature,
which were comparatively worth
less. into products of value. Man
ufactures bring wealth.
Then let every animal in the State
of Kansas be well cared for, and
their numbers be increased until all
the coarse grains that will be raised
in the State shall be consumed with
in her borders. When our hill-sides
and high prairies shall be covered
with cattle and sheep which, under
an intelligent system of husbandry,
shall be made TO transform all the
grain sown in the valleys and the
spontaneous growth of our native
pastures into fine beef, butter, cheese
and wool, then will the Kansas far.
mcr have money, because the sur.
plus products of his farm will bear
transportation.
In no distant future. Kansas viii
stand second to no state i'll the Unior
in the representation of animal pro.
ducts. Corn will be an efficient sub
ject, but it never can be king il

Water acting on an overshot
wheel is governed by the laws of
falling bodies, and the lever, of 16
feet overshot wheel, is loaded with
s cubic feet of. water 600 pounds)
having velocity of 3 feet per Sec
ond, its effective power is ascertain
ed as follows: A body falls 1G feet
in one second of time. Then 3 feet
per second, the velocity of the wheel,
substracted from the 16 feet fall per
second, gives - feet, which, null
tiplied by one 10th of the 500 pounds,
the load on the wheel, equals 3l.25,
and we have 406.25 POUNDS as in
slant momentum resting on the
wheel. This 406.25 pounds, multi
piled by the velocity of the wheel
and divided by 1925, the velocity of
the stone pinion, 81 inches in diam
eter, gives 63.3l pounds instant mo-
mentum on the stone pinion, by
which divide 500 pounds, the load
on the wheel, equals { 9-10,by which
divide 100, gives II 66-l00 per cent
of the weight of the water for eff
feet, BIO of which is TO be counted
as lost to overcome friction, and to

site motion, &c. The above figures

Axiom. The power or weight that
gives or causes motion or velocity,
and the resistance that oyercomes or
conteFacts it, are equal, and as mo-
ton is increased the power that pro-
dHces is decreased in an inverse pro-
portion; hence the construction of
water wheel and the application
of water thereto so as 10 resist the
spouting velocity under any given
head, and make it subservient as a
motive power, is very far in advance
of what has ever been accomplished
and would beget a new era in the
use of water as motive power. To
do this has been study for yeara,
