GLOVER AND ACID PHOSPHATE.

Editor AZ. Journal: 1T is no. pro-
posed to Say anything about its value. that
is conceded BY All parties. the great re-

From two years experience should
state as a very decided opinion that the
acid phosphate comes nearer ensuring
stand Of clover than any other manure !,
why state il as an opinion nv experience

creased between 80 and 40 per cent.
In 1874 about 80 acres were sowed at
one place. three acres were phosphated;
most Of the stand was very good. There
we're some eighteen acres Of the balance
where no phosphate was nsed. and i did
not save one iiih Of an acre.

the signal stations of continent, reports
on the vicissitudes of the weather, sorts,

reasonably add in view of our late sud-

in the East and North. Warning signals

view of the truth of these probabilities,

saved life, and has, within the knowledge
of every one, alleviated most alarming

medical faculty largely use it in their
practice. In cases of seated consumption,
it prolongs life and softens the stay of the

well to have it in the house. BY its time

prosecution. Ia EnglsAd this misuse
Of postal ear,ls IS punished by law /.
aud We are all glad to see that suit
has been bsoHght in New York against
a person for sending an improper card.
The law provides the means for col
lectiDg debts, which any creditor can
use. Dunning by postal cards, or
in any other annoying or humiliating
way is not one of these, and creditors
who resort to such methods render
themselves liable to a suit at law.
Thus talks one of our standard
magazines.
We supposed the cards were instituted
for the purpose OF facilitating business,
and also making It cheaper, 1t being q
more expeditions way, not so cumber-
some as stamp and envelope. We didn't
suppose it was any of Uncle Sans bust
ness whether we dunned man under q
three cent stamp, or one; inside of an
envelope, or outside. We supposed it
was optional with the sender how much
of his business he would allow to pass
under the greedy eyes of post masters,
and if any hurt should come to any by in
formation stolen from postal cards when
in transit, post masters should suffer,
and not the writer. We supposed the
cards answered the Legitimate purpose OF
business or friendship letter writing, il
being optional with the writer how much,
and what, he shall send outside of SEAL
No man has any business to do mean
thing, much less to write any kind OF
nastiness, whether under seal or not. We
hope to hear of the New York suit.

Letter from Kansas.
SABETIIA, KAN,

NAN,
Jan. 10Th, 1875.
Kansas never does anything by the
halves, as has often been demonstrated;
and now we are havir & winter-plenty of
snow and splendid sleighing, but such
cold weather that one can hardly see
where the fun comes in. One week ago
. to-day the good people living up and down
the Missouri river from Omaha to st.
Louis, and don't know how much fur
Their, were overtaken by most terrific
storm Of wind and snow accompanied by
! intense cold. The storm struck us at
Sabctha about four o'clock P. NJ, and by
six the mercury had fallen from seventeen
degrees above to twelve below. have
heard of no ones being frozen to death,
but one man in the adjoining county
came very near his end. He was driving
in his buggy at the time, and becoming
aware of his danger he got out intend
! ing to walk to warm himself, but his
legs being frozen he fell to the ground
helpless. Some one living a short distance
from the spot saw him fall, and took him
into the house and barely saved his life,
The ST. 10. & D. c. r. II. was blocked
until Monday, when the trains succeeded
in getting through, only to be stopped
by another storm Tuesday, which, how
ever, lasted but short time. Old resi-
Ceats declare the storm of Friday the
hardest that has visited this place since
1864
Our usually quiet city was startled q
few nights since by a highway robbery.
A respectable store keeper had closed for
the evening and was going to his house,
when he was knocked down by two men
and robbed of money and papers to the
amount of $1,000 The ruffians have
since been apprehended and lodged in
Jail.
Still they come. Last week train on
the Missouri Pacific landed eighteen cal
loads Of Russian Mennonites at Leven-
worth, on their way to the new settlement
in the southwestern portion Of the State
Our broad prairies are continually turn
ing up something of interest in regard tc
curious people who long ago inhabited
this wide domain. Mr.. Tonske, Swed
ish farmer living short distance from
| this place, has of late been digging well
and at depth of forty-two feet he cam
to sort of floor of cedar poles fv,
inches thick. These with difficulty h,
: fremoved and found similar floor foo
lower; removing this he was rewarded
r by finding--not water-but four human
skulls, one stone axe, two stone spea
heads, one stone pipe bowl, and tw'
earthern kettles. Still he kept digging
and at last found plenty of water, which
, suited him much better than this miscel
, laneous heap of hardware. After tn
curiosities had been duly examined b.
him and his friends they were boxed u
and sent to his dear fatherland
Since winters come and farmers hav
; more leisure there Is much talk abou
, Oranges, combination stores, and stocl
| companies. Reports of the Secretary @
the State Grange state that there are nov
1880 Oranges in Kansas and that the
are rapidly increasing.

A circular has been ISSUED by the
President of the Vermont Agricultu
raj College, at Burlington, announcing
a winter course OF about hundred
lectures to farmers, commencing Feb.
ID, 1875. The subjects treated will
be Agricultural Chemistry, Botany,
Physics, Entomology, Stock Breeding,
,Darying, Road Making, Farm Ac-
counts, and Bee Culture. The lee
lures are to be given partly by the
professors and partly by gentlemen
wis have had special experience in
the several departments. The object
of the coGrse will be to point out the
true methods of investigation, and
the most reliable sources Of informa-
ton, and in general to stimulate and
guide private study and prepare the
way for more intelligent work on the
ldIns Hc lSC tOl tiC SOul 30 wiz OS
$40, and board can be obtained fer
SIS including all charges. The income
of the College is about $4,000 per
annum, and there are wide-awake men
in the State who pronounce it hum
bug, and legislative committee was
ordered to look into its worth and
working, and after faithful hearing
pronounced it all right, but the ac-
cusers would not appear without per
diem and mileage, and perhaps the
showing was all Of one kind and all
on one side. 1t may not he generally
known that there is not farm con-
nected with the college. But this
course of lectures is a beginning in
the right direction anything to ele-
yate the farmer, anything to educate
the farmer; for they pay the most tax
es for the support of the public veal,
and in proportion to numbers, derive
the least advantage.
Farmers boys are needed to work
on the farm and rs q general thing
are only permitted to browse in the
winter on the scanty twigs Of learning
supplied by the district school, and il
it so happens that there is one who is
too weak to be profitable help he il
sent to college, forgetting thai en-
inence is rarely obtained except by
those possessed of full measure Of
health and muscular power. The
stamina which bears the strain in 9
life Of intellectual labor, has and al
ways will be largely recruited from the
robust, .clear-beaded ranks of the
farmer. Why, then, should not the
farmer be the educated gentleman, b'
capable of lecturing upon any of tn,
sciences, and not be 4 slow, ploddins
mule, doing everything by mere ply

Of gloved striplngs; wake up, then
