Raising Grain and Making
Bepf and Pork.

III a farmer is a judicious manager
and has correct understanding of all
the details incident to raising coarse
grain, maintaining thesfertility of his
land, and making beef, mutton and
pork, he can make more money by
having his grain consumed at home
and changed into meat than can be
made oy selling it. In practical
than what farmers on the Western pra-
ries are in the habit of doing every
year. When their corn is abundant
and cheap, instead of paying the rail.
road companies two bushels to convey
one to market, they turn it into pork,
and In this condensed form ship it all
over the Union, ut a profit. Farmers
in Europe can buy wheat cheaper and
better than they can grow it, whilst
they can raise the best beef and NUT
ton in the world, and enough of it by
simply putting their wheat fields into
grass. We can furnish England with
all the wheat she wants with less trou-
BILE and risk than we can ship fresh
meat, though we have an abundant
supply of beef, pork and good ma
nure.
BY the introduction of steam power
to such vast extent as it is now en-
ployed, in propelling ocean steamers
and railroad cars, space has almost
been annihilated. The high price of
farming land in England. added to the
uncertainties of her climate, mak es
wheat the most precarious and unpro>
fitable of all her agricultural crops.
The average annual wheat deficiency
of England Is estimated at 1000, ,0OO
bushels, and Mr.. Scott thinks that this
deficiency or the greater portion of it
may be obtained from the United
States, Russia, however, would supply
"a large quantity. 1t is quite probable
that England would largely profit by
this change, as she would thus be able
to raise her own meat, and obviate the
necessity of importing cattle and pre-
served meats from abroad.
In order to derive the greatest posi-
BILE advantage from the practice OF
making beef or mutton to sell in lieu
of coarse grain, the manure made by
live stock must be husbanded and ap
piled judiciously to the soil. IL neat
cattle are fattened on coarse grain
lproduced on farm, and their manure
is wasted, the practice of making beef
| will end in n grievous failure.-Prdc

Nudge DIP Lowe.

We cheerfully give place to the
following good words for Hon. d.
P. Lowe, and add our hearty en-
dorsement of the sentiments ex-
pressed:
Hon. D. p. Lowe, former member
of Congress from this State, is in
the city attending to business be.
fore the Circuit Court. The Judge
is favorably spoken of by the press
of the State as the Republican NOM
inee for the Supreme bench, and
will probably be the choice of the
party.-Leavenworth Times.
There seems to be no doubt of
his nomination. He is one of the
most uAselfish aud pure minded
men that ever held Office in Kansas.
If Judge Lowe had been a politician
he would have been in the United
States Senate to-day. Grant offered
him a splendid place, but his aspir.
atoms all lead to the bench, and
there is where he will 60 this fall

ought to be glad of it, for his SYM
pathies are with the lowly of this

spiritual or physical, can scare or
wheedle d. P. DoWe.-Wichita Ea.
gle.
To know that Judge loves
name will be brought before the
Republican convention for Associ-
ate Justice gratifies US, and the SEN
timents expressed in reference to
him by the Eagle are most heartily
approved by the Citizen. d. r.
Lowe is man of iDfiexible inseg-
rity, of purity of character and pur-
pose. and above anything demagog-
zeal or hypocritical. Large OF brain
and naturally talented. ripe in legal
experience and thorough in his
knowledge of Jurisprudence, he
would make an able member of our
Supreme bench and do honor to the
lofty position. We hope he may be
called to occupy it. Judge Lowe
will receive q unanimous support
in all this part of Kansas.-Fredo-
mia Citizen.

Editorial Excursion.

In reply to numerous letters re-
celVed from publishers in various
parts of the State, it affords US
pleasure to say that prospects for a
trip to the Centennial is good. So
far as the transportation is concern
ed the arrangements are nearly all
completed. It has taken q great
deal of correspondence, but the
matter is so far advanced now thai
there is not much roomto doubt the
ultimate per lection of the plan. 1t
will be impracticsble to go in July,
as talked of, for the reason that the
roads all expect to be crowded
about this time. They prefer to
take US about the first of Septem-
ber-and. as far as we have been
able to learn the wishes of the edi-
tors of the State, this will suit much
better than to go in July.-Leaven-
worth Times.

Hayes at south Mountain.
Cincinnati Commerr1al


After going the rounds of the
hospitals in and adjacent.to the field
Captain LOCKER was
associated with Surgeon General
Weber and other Ohio surgeons, as
q detail to escort an ambulance
train filled with wounded soldiers
down to Frederick, Maryland,
where all the churches, hotels and
public buildings of all kinds had
been prepared for their reception.
On the way down, and reaching q
little village called Middletown
just after darK, the citizens of the
town insisted that the train should
stop long enough for them to sup
ply the wounded men with cups of
coffee, tea, etc. The request was
complied with, and the train lay
there three or four hours.
During the delay Surgeon Gener-
al Weber and Captain LOCKER walk
cd through the village making in
quiries for Ohio soldiers, and much
TO their surprise, learned that
Lieutenant Colonel Il. B. Hayes
had been brought there from South
Mountain, where he was wounded
town. and was then believed to
be somewhere in the village. Pro-
curing lantern, they began to ex-
plore the town in search for Colonel
Hayes. After visiting about q doz-
en- houses in which were found of
ticers and soldiers, and holding the
light of the lantern in the faces of
the poor fellows, they came across
little old dilapidated two story
brick building, and going up rick
ETY. pair of stairs, and through 8
narrow hall 6anked on both sides
with diminuitiVe rooms, were re-
warded by the discovery of Colonel
Hayes, lying in bed, and attended
by his faithful and loving wife and
his brother-in-laW, and surgeon of
his regiment DR.. Joe Webb. Mrs.
Hayes had just found her husband,
after having looked through all the
hospitals from Washington City to
Middletown.
The Colonel and his lady ex-
pressed delight at the visit from
Ohio men, and permitted Surgeon
General Weber to examine the
wound. After q pleasant chat, and
9 detailing of news from home, the
Ohio men took their departure. II
seems that few hours before the
visit. the Colonel, fearing mortifica-
ton, had requested Surgeon Webb
to amputate his arm, but DR.. Webb
had decided not TO do so, aud to
make an attempt to save the arm.
After examining the wound Sur
geon General Weber corroborated
DIR. Webb's decision and left both
the Colonel and his good wife in the
best of spirits.
Little did Surgeon General Web
er and his companion think then
that the little dingy room in the
village of MiddIetown contained
the future President of the United
States. The parting words of the
Colonel to his Ohio visitors, as he
lay there suffering with his wound,
were: TELL Gov. Todd that I'll be
on hand again shortly" His future
career proved that he was always
ION hand" where hard fighting and
sound judgment were needed dur-
ing the remainder of the rebel
lion.
This little sketch is contributed
as detailing in some measure the
characteristics of the chosen leader
OF the Republican party in the COM
ing canvass for the Presidency of
the United States.
