THE Teachers Institute of CHATEAU

up a report of the natural history Of
the cOuntry,by enhsting the boys and
girls of the schools in the exploration;
such researches as botany and ento-
mOlogy being assigned to the girls, and
mineralogy and the eoarser and heavier
work to the boys. This is a good
thought in the direction of practical
education.

THE DOG TAX.

tain District.


We have reliable information that
one firm Of merchants in Gainesboro
has sold one hundred fox traps the
present year. They will probably sell
as many more, and each trap ill prob
ably catch two foxes. The scalps are
worth so cents at least on the dog tax,
and the fur is worth % cents for each
skin. Then, besides paying 5000 of
the dog tax, it pays 500 IN cash for
the fur. Each fox would probably de.
stroy so cents worth of chickens-pigs,
lambs and geese, worth 5000 more,
Will any thinking farmer say that this
is extravagant? Is it not worth trying?
The account stands thus:

Dec,ining Health OF the Pope.

NEW YoRK, April 22.-The Herald,
this morning, publishes seven columns
of letters from ilsRoman correspondent
stating that the Pope is rapidly declin-
inc in health and strength. The Pope
refuses leaving the Vatican, feeling
that he would be violating the dignity
Of his office, in going beyond the linn
its of his palace and grounds, over
which the Italian government does not
assert jurisdiction. The weight OF years
presses upon him with greater force in
consequence of this seclusion, and OF
anxiefies which attend his contest with
what he regards as the usurping gov.
ernment, Cardinal Antonettt also

FORTRESS MONROE, April 19.-The
poet has said that there is nothing half
so sweet as loves young dream but the
farmer says there is nothing half so
bitter in life as heavy freeze in April.
Last night the mercury came to "A do
grees-about as low as it has been here
during this winter-and in consequence
froze out all the early fruit and vege
tables in this section, and it s::under
stood the lower peninsula depend en-
tirely upon their early vegetables for
subsistence, aud failure to produce
good and paying crop incurs distress,
and sometimes ruin upon them. This
season the climate in this section has
been very favorable to the production
of early crops, and the farmers In this
vicinity were jnbilant over their pro-
spects. Even before the ice gorge at
Port Deposit had been removed their
early potatoes were up, and they anti
cipated beating the Jerseymen by at
least three weeks, but alas! the freeze
of last night has put damper on their
spirits. Parties who had an orchard of
some 5000 or 1000 peach and pear
trees, who were jubilant ON Friday
over their brilliant prospects of
bountiful crop, now say that if they
get a dozen baskets from the whole or
chard they will be doing well. In
| fact the whole crop of early vegetables,
peas, beans, potatoes, ,stra wberries, &c,

worked and poorly paid farmer has to
go to the expense and trouble of buy

sent summer market. This is very
hard, indeed, upon the poor farmers in
this section, many of whom had hard

DISTRICT FAIR ASSOCIATIONS.
a Matter Demanding the Attention OF

A Matter Demanding the Attention OF
All.
None but those who have tried It
know what a task it is 70 keep up a
county agricultural organization, and
TO maintain, each year, a creditable
exhibition. Both branches of the
proposition mean an immense amount
OF free work, and Vexation of spirit.
The effort to keep up separate organic
ations and exhibitions in each sparseIv
settled county has, in large majority
OF cases, proved a nat failure. Hence
We are glad to learn that an effort is
now being made to unite several conn
ties in an effort to form an organiza-
ton with a view of having a district
fair the ensuing season. It is propos-
ed to unite Greenwood, Chase, Morris,
Usage, Lyon, and perhaps other coun-
ties in this important work. The mat
ter has been ''talked up'' among the
prominent farmers and stock men of
these counties for some time, and the
feeling in favor of uniting is almost
unanimous. We clip the following
from a late number of the Council
Grove Democrat on this point:
DISTRICT FAIR.-At the recent an
nual meeting of the Lyon County Ag-
ricnltural Society, there was, besides
the election of officers for the ensuing
year. considerable discussion as to the
Feasibility of changing from county
organization to a district fair, uniting
With Lyon as many of the adjacent
counties as possible. This we regard
as good idea, and we are heartily in
favor OF it. There are but few coun-
ties In the state that can, sinRly, make
their fairs financial success. Lyon is
one of the wealthieSt counties in
this section, and has already invest
ed ten or twelve thousand dollars in
grounds and permanent buildings, en-
joys the attractions of the best race
course in the state, and yet, financial
ly, the returns for all this outlay of
money and trouble of painstakins off.
Gals are not what of right ought to be
expected. A district fair, with this as
a nucleus, could be made eminently
successful, and more adapted to the
wants of the adjacent agricultural
communities. Such q consumation
would, in our estimation, more signal
ly answer the purposes desired than
the aggregated supposed benefits aris-
Ing from fifty half-starved exclusively
county fairs.
The suggestions of the Democrat are
to the point. Any one of the above
counties acting alone will make but a
meager showing at the best, bur if
their Efforts could he united there is
no doubt but that results would follow
which would be alike a credit not only
to this section of Kansas, but to each
and every county engaged in it.
We trust that no effort will be SPAR
ed among those more directly interest
ed, first to unite and form a district
association as indicated above; second,
to make an exhibition this season
which all will feel proud of. We shall
allude to this important matter again.

horticultural Society.

Mr.. EDITOR: At our last regular
meeting of the Lyon County Horticul-
tural Society, president Milliken in the
chair, the apple tree question was ia
ken up and discussed at some consid-
cradle length. A. G. Wilhite stated
that his orchard had been damaged to
the amount of 5000, by sunscald, sup
posed to be caused by the trees being
denuded of their foliage by grasshop-
pers in the months of August and Sep
TENDER. The apple was also discussed,
the Bendair's Winesap and w. B.
Pearman taking the lead as profitable
winter apple to grow for profit. A.
G.. White win read an essa on the
best mode of protecting apple trees
from sunscald. The members of the
society are requested to examine their
apple trees and report the extent of
damage, if any, to their trees the past
season. The president has few cop
les of the State Horticultural report.
Any one wishing to become member
of the state society will get copy of
the report. The fruit crop is all right,
so said by competent members who
have examined.
