The Rocky Mountain Loc,,sts.

IL is shown by the best authorities
that the insects which are causing SO
much alarm in portions of the west are
not grasshoppers, but locusts. They
are designated Rocky Mountain To-
Gusts to distinguish them from other
species, such as the seven-year locusts,
etc. They are indigenous to the dry,
sandy regions of Montana, Idaho and
other far western States, and the colo
mics which in long intervals tako their
flight TO other States to the east, rap
idly degenerate, lose the power of prop
agation, and become extinct in two
or three years. Tho last visitation
was in 1866. The tribes now wander
ing in Missouri, we are assured, cannot
penetrate farther east.-Er.

Eating.

AS SO much of mans happiness ant
usefulness in life depends upon eating
correctly, and as the housekeeper has
so much control over this part of oul
living, we have thought that a few
suggestions on the science and art Of
eating might not be inappropriate to
this department--The Housekeeper.
Every emotion of the heart, every
operation of the mind, every motion OF
the body, or of and organ or member
thereof, consumes power which must
be supplied by the food we eat; and
while it is of the utmost Importance
that our food shall be wholesome, nu-
tritious and digestible, it is of scarcely
lees importance that it be eaten cor
rectly, at the right time and with our
system in the right condition.
AS first in order we would say,never
eat when the body is exhausted. In
der judicious management, farmers
and farmers wives need never have
dyspepsia, for their plain fresh diet
and free exercise should prevent that
terrible disease; but statistics we
think will prove that they are no more
exempt from it than other classes.
That they are not, we think, is attrib-
utable to the fact that they too often
eat when they ought to rest; when
their powers are too much exhausted
to perform the functions of digestion.
The housewife does her own work.
or at least assists about it, works hard
to hurry up dinner and have it ready
on time, calls the men before
Inner is ready, hurrying to the last
moment, and then, when she ought to |
lie down and rest, she sits down to the
able and eats. She is SO much ex-
lausted that her hunger has ceased,
Ter organs of taste are inactive, her
alivary glands do not perfectly per-
orm their functions, she does not
nasticate well, and the food enters a
not prepared to perform the
York of digestion.
The farmer hurries from the field
nd his severe labor, and while vet
cary and exhausted, sits down and
his food, hurrying back to
is labor. Is it surprising that, after
few years, the digestive organs be-
'mc impaired and SO many farmers
I'd farmers wives have wrecked their
'alth before arriving at middle age. a

English SparrOwS.

We are glad to learn that several
gentlemen Of this city are making ar
engagements to bring here number OF
English sparrows. The plan is to
form club, each member agreeing to
take one pair or more of these indus
trious little insect destroyers. Mr.. A.
c. Faust will, we understand, send for
the sparrows. This is a good move.
These little birds multiply very rapid
ly, and are very industrious and effect
i've insect destroyers. They will, in a
few years, be able to make a rather
vigorous war upon even so numerous
a pest as the grasshopper legions. We
hope that many of our citizens Will
join the club now being formed for the
of the sparrows.-Atchi-
son Champion.

Grange Insurance.

There is not better and safer insur-
ance than that Of the Grange itself.
About the first of last December the
Kansas State Grange organized an in
surance company, under the instruc-
lions of the State Grange, and since
that time tens of thousands of dollars
worth Of property have been insured
in the company. Up to this time there
has beeL bat one single loss, and that
was Immediately adjusted by the CON-
pany. The farmers of the State are
beginning to find out that Grange in
surancc is not only the cheapest insur-
ance, but the best.

The Grange.

Why do we come to the Grange? To
stare at each other? To say nothing
and do nothing? To go home with a
feeling of disgust at our own incom-
petoncy? To feel that our efforts for
the advancement and good of our no.
bic Order have been very feeble in
deed? To be under the impression
that our social relations, as a neighbor-
hood, have not been improved? That
in meeting here time after time, with
out making an effort for the elevation
of our character, as Patrons, or not
taking action for financial benefit, we
are spending valuable time very UNI
proftably? Now let those meetings
cense The fault lies within ourselves.
Let us cndeavor to correct it. Let us
waken up and bury all feelings of
doubt and distrust. and prove our
selves to be active, energetic, whole
souled Patrons. Though we are only
little band in the great army of the
Grange, let US work, for without earn
est labor there is no reward. Let our
social intercourse be pure and eleyat-
ing. As class the farmer has been
called selfish and unsocial. but il is on
ly because we have lived isolated.
But IN the Grange we meet together,
and our social natures may become
developed and elevated. That our
lives will become purer and better, in
our efforts TO do good, there is 10
doubt. 1t requires as much energy |
and thought to become a successful |
farmer as 10 be successful in any other
avocation. Each one has intelligence
enough, if it is only brought out. Each /
one can learn OF the other some new
and good method of doing things. So
let us not be backward in making sug-
gestions for our mutual good. Let
the outside world sneer and scofr: we
are strong enough to withstand the
sneers of the world. 1t is an old saw
ing: '"Those laugh best who laugh
iast. LABOR Is called degrading by a
certain class who pretend to have
brains, but alas only shows lack of
sense, with but show of in
teliect. Let our motto be, Improve {
ment." Let US show this class that |
we are no longer dummies, as they |
suppose; that we no longer need their ,
services in any respect; that we have I
brains in the Grange, and if the adj
dresses we make are not so oily and ,
at least, they come from hon.
EST hearts. Let us work. Let not our
interest in our noble Order flag. If
his movement in the interests of the /,
armer and laborer fails, it viii be i'm t
possible to rally again.-M Z. L. in t

The time to SOW buck wheat is here.
We are doubtful whether this crop can
be successfully grown in this part of
the State. We do not know why it is
so, but past experience here docs not
recommend it as paying crop. Bnt
taking all things into consideration,
we would say, if the farmer has an
acre or two of land that nothing is
growing upon, let it be carefully pre-
pared and seeded to buckwheat. The
hope Of fcasting on buckwheat cakes
next winter is sufficient inducemcut
for all the risk he runs.

The time to sow turnips will soon be
here. Turnips should be sown on
clean land. Turning under green
weeds in the preparation of land for a
crop, is a poor preparation. The
weeds arc heating in their nature, and
take the moisture out of the land.
The better plan is to never allow
weeds to grow upon any part of the
farm, and then you will never have
to turn them under in order that the
field may be prepared for seeding. 1t
is said by scientists that weeds take
more fertility out of the soil and less
from the air, than anything that can
grow upon farm: and we believe it.
IL this was better understood, we feel
sure that farmers would be more
careful
