ePRA:IRIEETRn,

- Probably we cannot begin too soon
to agitate the subject q preventing the
illegal burning Of the prairie grass.
The fact that the grasshoppers have
again deposited their eggs throughout
this region, suggests to every one the
need of thorough organization and a
determination to show little mercy to
any one caught in illegal OF wanton
burning of the prairie grass. We learn
that the railroad company have agreed
to burn off 4 strip on each side of the
road of sufficient width to protect the
prairie from being fired BY their engines.
Let us have an efficient organization in
this county, composed of men who are
not afraid to do their duty. A writer
in the Jackson Republic suggests the
following, all of which we can endorse
except the hanging. Let us execute
the law instead Of the individual, and
the punishment will be sufficient:
Let every township organize itself in
to a vigilance committee, and hang any
one caught in the act, or suspected Of
setting fires on the prairie, before the
time appointed. Remember this is too
fair a land to give up to the grasshop-
pers. Then let each town resolve itself
into a road district and call out all the
men and teams and make a fire.break
around their respective towns, as near
as they can, or not nearer than two
rods to the line. This is precautionary
and ought to I've done any way, as it
will prevent the fires, running when
they are not wanted. Then LET a day
be appointed in the spring, when the
pests have Matched out, and let the
whole county blaze. Let the people
offer up the grasshopper rs burnt of.

TREE CULTURE.

EDITOR ADVANCE: For the encour-
agement of all who are interested in
tree culture in the West, desire to
give little experience in that line.
First, the ground should be thoroughly
titled and in good working order. Sc
lect your cuttings from good, thrifty
stock, set them in the ground Qeaving
about one inch above the surface) as
soon as possible after they are cut from
the tree; pack the ground around each
cutting by tramping with the feet.
Keep the ground free from weeds by
thorough cultivation, and the result
will be highly gratifying. l have d
sample row, Of which feel proud, and
challenge the county ID sl.oeo its eqnol.

and measured, on the 18th day Of Aug

Who will accept the challenge?

For the Advanced
I'VE DYEl

We dye to live and live to dye. It
takes a great deal of alcohol and other
liquors to dye with, OF to help us die,
which is it We dye in town and we
dye out in the fields. 1t is hard to die
alone. We dye all kinds of fabrics, and
textures and especially faces and noses.
The process is simple and is done in the
twinkling of an eye. How much alco-
hol do farmers like in plain cooking?-
And will some one tell us how to make
yeast with alcohol? If our children are
often very sick, will they die if our
druggists won't let them have the stuff
to dye with? Let us dye no more.

SPARE THE BIRDS.

The farmers Union urges the impor-
lance of saving the birds from the wan
ton destruction yearly carried on. It
suggests that the city authorities pro-
hibit the sale of all birds, except aquatic
fowls, in the cities of this State, at least
for this year.
The wanton destruction of birds is a
crime which law and public sentiment
ought to suppress. Even tie outlawed
blackbirds do good service in destroying
insects, and many farmers claim that
they save much more grain than they
destroy. Quail and prairie chickens,
so much sought after by sportsmen, are
especially the friends Of the farmer in
destroying insects. The Union gives
an instance as follows:
A farmer tells of small flock of
quails which he saw industriously ut
work in his fields, Systematically march
ing from one side of it to another,
covering ''swath' of considerable
width in passing each way. After
watching them for some time, lie finally
killed one, when he found its crop liter
ally packed full Of grasshoppers and
other destructive insects, but not Sill
gle grain of wheat. Like a sensible
man, he concluded thereafter to encour-
age the visits of these insect devourers,
and would never after permit one to be
shot on his grounds. Let every farmer
do likewise, and take such measures as
will prevent hunters trespassing upon
his premises.

Newspaper and printing wonders do

The New York Graphic publishes al
article on Sleep and how to Woo it,
called out by Mr.. Frank Buckland's
article recommending food in the stom-
ach as about the best soporifc. The
trouble with all subjects Of the kind is
that We cannot lay down general rules
for all circumstances and constitutions.
Every brain worker knows, however,
that when the brain is excited from
reading or writing ON an empty stom-
ach that sleep can be induced by taking
food into the stomach, thus drawing
the blood off from the brain to the
stomach. We have read numbers of
prescriptions for the relief of sleepless-
ness, and have tried them all, but never
have found anything equal to the simple
imitation of the lungs and the gradual
expiration of the air. Nine times out
of ten it works like charm. Initiate
the lungs gradually to their fullest ca
pacity and expel the air as gradually
and the first thing the sleep-seekel
knows he will know nothing till next
morning.
We had the pleasure of attending the
Quarterly Meeting services held at the
