First. the cutting of timber should be
done With discretion, leaving . due pro-
portion of timber to farm lands distribu-
ted throughout the agricultural districts.
and in cutting trees for lumberanly we'll.
grown trees should be selected, leaving
the young trees to grow, and. thus getting
. COED yield from the forest without de.
seroying it; second, wherever there is
already q suficiency Of cleared land =
tree should be planted for every tree
that is cut down ; and third, to prevent
not only the useless denundation of for.
est lands but also such Wholesale destruc-

The Philosophy Of ksiu.

There see few general principles in
regard to the rainfall on the earth, that
may be interesting to farmers, and may
afford them q grain of comfort. A very
liberal provision has been made that
what we call the dry land should be well
watered. Three ourths of the surface oil
the earth is q great reservoir of moisture.
Evaporation of the surface is constantly
going on. The atmosphere absorbs, and
the winds carry this vast accumulation
of moisture to the dry land.
The absorbing power of the atmosphere
depends on its temperature. The warm.
er it is the more moisture it will hold,
till it reaches the point of saturation, Of
dew point. Now if warm, moist air is
cooled, the surplus water resolves itself
into drops and falls to the earth in the
form of dew. Now Mr.. Douglas was
wont to say "Here is great principle,
that we may we'll bear in mind" High
mountain ranges, being usually covered
with snow, are condensers ofmoisture on
q grand scale. This is why no rain
reaches sanity Brigham's locality. It is
all condensed by the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains, and falls on the Pacific slope. All
forms of moisture, rain, snow, fog dew,
ETC., down to the sweating pitcher on our
table, are all manifestations Of this same
great principle"
Imay add. that the annual fall of rain
on the earth is very uniform, and that we
suffer not so much for the want of mois-
ture as from an unequal distribution.
Evaporation is greatest within the trop-
les, on account of the greater heat; and
greater in the southern hemishere than
in the northern, because of the larger pro-
portions Of water south OF the equator
than north of it; but the currents of air
which carry moisture north and south,
cross each other near the equator, giving
US the greater evaporation of the south.

rainfall by four inches.-Mw England

to be vilted in the sun and then cured
in the shade. They should be entirely
free from must, smut, rust or noxious
insects, and should not be exposed to rain
or dew for 2 moment after having been
gathered.

with cords ip not less than five places in
such q manner Is to protect both stalks
and leaves from injury, and then after
attaching the duplicate entry card, care

the Board of Centennial Managers. To-
peka, Kansas. Samples of grain"
z. Each sample to be accompanied by
q tag, giving name of exhibitor, by whom,
and the locality where grown.
The Secretary xill furnish blank ap-
plications for entry labels, to be placed
on packages to be sent to the room ofthe
Board for exhibition, and entry tags to
be placed on each sample.
Other things being equal, the award
will be made ~ the largest collection ;
but real merit will have the preference,
whether it be a large or small collection.
The object Of making this collection is
to make cre&it&ble showing Of the
agricultural products of the State at the
great international exhibition, to be
held at Philadelphia from May the 10th
to November 10th, 1876, under the ap-
spices of the United States Centennial
Commission.
The exhibition being open to the whole
world, and Kansas being emphatically
an agricultural State. it is of the first
importance that the exhibition Of grains
be creditable one.
The Board confidentially looks to all
citizens for cooperation inthe premises.
1t will be . happy and important event
in the history Of the county that shall be
able to carry off the foregoing premiums,
and thus get 2 worldwide reputation of
the Centennial Exhibition for producing
the best collection Of grains and grasses
which were produced in the State in
1875.
As everything must be ip place before
another crop is produced, the sole reli-
ance of the board therefore yiA be upon
the crop Of the present year.

Mr. Grant has Greater Faith Than Ever
In Kansas.

VICTORIA ELLIS COUNTY, KAN,
June 4, 1875. !
To the Kansas City Journal Of Commerce
In reply to your inquiry regarding
grasshoppers, I am happy to inform you
that a. yet we have not been visited by
any. 1 have just returned from Denver,
where they were committing such raw.
ages amongst the crops that the farmers
we're forced to re.plow and SOW their
land. On my way home from Denver
to Victoria, a distance of four hundred
miles, I did not discover any appearance
of the hoppers whatever, the general
opinion being that last year they did
not stay long enough in our locality to
deposit their eggs. We are therefore
more fortunate than those living in the
eastern and southern portions of the
State who, I observe from the papers, are
suffering badly. Our crops look so we'll
that l was induced to forward to you,
addressed to Mr.. Cakes care, q box con-
tanning samples of the various kinds Of
crops being raised at Victoria this year.
You will notice that the alfalfa and oats
(sown together) belonging to Mr.. F. w.
Gunther are we'll advanced for the first
of June. whilst the corn, peas and barley
raised by the Hon. w. G. Maxwell, and
the rye (last years. alfalfa and fall wheat
raised by myself can compare very favor
ably with anything have seen either in
Colorado or Kansas this season. The
other crops are equally satisfactory, and
free both from insects and grasshoppers.
l am glad also at being able to supply
you with quite favorable report of the
successful wintering of my stock. Not
withstanding the severity of the past
winter, my sheep and cattle have win
tered we'll, with q comparatively small
loss. The steers and wethers szs in q
prime condition and ready for market.
The crop OF lambs raised from five thou
sand Mexican graded ewes, has been
about ninety-nine per cent, and in ap-
pearance they 50 resemble full-blooded
stock that none but those acquainted
could detect the difference.
Notwithstanding the burning of the
prairie by fire for about one hundred
miles the first season. and the total de-
of our crops the last one, by
I have greater confidence
than ever in the great natural resources
of Kansas for economical and successful
raising of stock. And if settlers would
turn their attention mere to this than
to the cultivation Of the soil solely, l
have no hesitation in stating that parties
even of moderate means could make q
and fine livelihood.
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE GRANT.

after sewing the land must be rolled
The roller presses the loose ground unte
the seed, and when the dry, hot, seorch
ing days of August come the sasd and
the tender jerm will 6nd protection IN
der the pressed soil. Every gardener
knows why he pads the seed bad with
the back Of tie spade the same principal
is carried out in rolling our fields imme
distely after sowing. OF course We don't
roll in . wet season.
This is all the culture and work which
buckwheat require. A few grateful
showers in August and September will
make it . success; in dry seasons it will
be = failure like every thing else.
The harvest of the buckwheat is the
thing which must be done most tender
ly, most patiently, carefully. It shells
out 50 very easily that we don't need to
tkresh buckwheat at all, when We have
cut it with cradle or scythe. The
only economical way of cutting it, we
have found to be by q light running ma.
chine, . reaper with dropper attached.
Drive xery:slowly; it is the easiest work
the horses ever do all through the year.
Throw off small gavels, set the reel not
too low, and cut with the bar raised
shout six inches, never lower. The in.
tercepting finger under the reel, which
holds the wheat, when the dropper il
down apd throwing off gavel, we take
off for cutting buckwheat; it is only in
the way. Two men follow the machine
leach one to take half a round. and very
carefully, tenderly, lift the gavels out Of
the way of the machine, set them up in
small stocks, spreading out the QUIT
ends, and tucking the top in with a
light twist. These stocks are to cure
and dry in the field.
In cutting the reel will sometimes
catch the spreading branches of plants
standing beyond the blackboard of the
machine; the driver must then be pa'
tient, get off and clear the reel and new.
er swear; if he does, the buckwheat
cakes will get sour, sure!
It may take two weeks to cure the
stocks; sharp frost or two will help to
do it.
Buckwheat must never be stacked /; it
is either threshed at once on . rail floor,
or housed ip the barn until it can be
threshed. 1t must not lie in deep mows
or high heaps, to prevent heating and
moulding.
The profits from buckwheat crop in
good seasons are very respectable. A
plant in tolerably good soil will bear
from 200 to 400 blossoms, and seldom
less than 80 grains from 80 to 40 BUSH
els from an acre is not by any means
expecting too nuch. And this is better
than most of our farmers do in wheat, or
corn either.
Wishing that the reader may have .
good season and raise heavy crop of
buckwheat, we shall ask when he sue
ceeds to be treated to sqHe fine cakes
next winter.-&. Louis Midland Farmer.
