The Virtues of Rye.

1t has long been favorite belief that
rye was grain OF great value, especially
in the manufacture of certain beverages.
1t has been supposed there was no limit to
its usefulness in this direction and also
that it was OF little use for any other pur-
pose. But here comes a gentleman from
Cowley county who asserts that rye has
another claim to the consideration of the
human family. 1t is destroyer of the
prairie sod, and renders the latter as friable
as fallow ground. The story is this:
An important discovery in agriculture
has been made by some of our farmers. 1t
is that rye, sown in the fall, upon unbroken
prairie, will take roots and grow as if plant
ed on fallowed ground! 1t may be pas
tured during the fall and winter, and will
then bear good yield of grain. Two years
Of this cultivation will completely rot the
sod as if broken in the first place with a
plow. Some prefer to hetchel the sod with
a fine tooth harrow, after sowing, but it is
often not done. When first informed OF
this innovation in rye culture, thought it
fishy, but investigation proved the truth
of it.

Interesting Items Clipped From the Valley

Interesting Items Clipped From the Valley
Falls New Era.
Henry Shire, Esq, two miles from Val.
ley Falls, had 25 acres of wheat that av.
eraged nearly thirty-one bushels per acre.
The oat crop of Messrs. Strickland
& Bliss, of Valley Falls, averaged fifty
bushels and few quarts per acre
Mr.. J. W. Cranson reports having sold
thirteen Champion Messrs. Strickland &
Bliss, thirty Buckeye, and Messrs Galbrath
& Coulter forty-one Excelsior reapers and
mowers this season at this point. Eighty
three machines from one town ought to
make hay cutting lively.
WIN. NJ. Ritter, of Reno county, Kan
sas, has presented US with head Of millet
IA inches long, and big in proportion. The
millet was raised on his own farm, and is
rather ahead Of any head that has shown
its head in this office. Will some Jefferson
county farmer bring US bigger one?
The farmers have buffetted the waves
of encouragement, and where one crop dis
appeared in the crops of the voracious
1ocusts, they planted another, until scarcely
a field lies idle. The wheat crop was badly
injured, flax generally taken, and some
corn-felds eaten up; but the farms are now
covered with corn, which, though late
planted, is looking well, and a few more
rains will mature it, consequently we ex-
pect to have corn to sell.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mrs.
Burrell, formerly of Valley Falls, now of
Leavenworth, on the way to Leavenworth,
Tuesday. Mrs. Burrell had been to Holton
looking after the hotel prospects. 1t is
