BUILDING, FENCING
AND FUEL.

One Of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found In
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing reasonable supply for all prac-
teal purposes, as is shown by the fac.
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds 81. SO per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion Of
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt he devel-
Oped As the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abOunds in many local
tiles, yet 50 disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

Fowls for the Farm.

1 have often thought that poultry
breeders ought to write more about
poultry for the benefit of farmers, thar
they do, and so have concluded to tel
your readers something about . fowl
which I think is one of the best fowls fol
farmer. that is now bred. I refer to
the pure bred Brown Leghorn.
OF all the breeds that we have, there
are but few, if any, that are more popu.
lar at the present time than this breed.
They are medium size, and handsome,
and they are non-sitters. have been
breeding them for two years, and have
never yet seen one that was broody. As
1 have been engaged in breeding various
breeds of fowls, I am convinced that for
hardness and egg producing qualities
they have no superior, if their equal.
They will pass through a scourge of
cholera with a smaller death rate than
any other variety. Having made the
breeding and management of fowls a
a study, 1 find it no difficult thing to
make my Brown Leghorns lay continu.
ally nine months in the year, though l
cannot say that I am as successful with
come other breeds.
know that many are delighted and
charmed with the large Asiatics that
"can peck corn of from the top of -four
barrel" Well I breed that kind too and
I am convinced that can produce eight
pounds of chicken meat on four legs, ss
cheaply as it can be done on two legs,
and then l will have eggs from two fowls
instead of from only one.
Some of the larger breeds are very
hardy whilst quite young, but after they
are one year old they must have proper
management or their days will soon be
numbered. Over feeding them during
hot weather will soon finish them, and if
the feeding is insufficient, they will die
of inanition, for they are not as much
inclined to forage as the Brown Leghorn.
have small orchard and it is the
Last resting place of quite q number of
oen dollar fowls, but of Brown Leghorns
1 have buried none; and the original
trio that I first purchased is now as &C.
tive and hardy as any young fowls that
] have. These fowls convert every thing
they eat into eggs instead of into fat.
They mature very rapidly, and while
they are chicks they need good care, and
frequent feeding, as nearly all they can
eat goes to make quill and feathers. The
comb of the cock is single, deeply serra-
ted, and very high. During the cold
weather of very severe winter, these
combs are very liable to freeze, and the
fowl will then be disigured. This comb
may safely be cut off with pair of
shears when the fowl is but mere chick
and when the fowl is grown he will look
quite gay and will be just as good for
breeding.
Ihave now said enough for the pres
ent, but will say something more about
fowls after awhile if there seems to he
a prospect of doing any good, or of COM
any information that will be
of service to any one. A.. J. HILL.

latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed adj

LONDON, June 21.-The Sheffield Telegraph
today says that further reduction of 125 per
cent. IN miners wages in West Riding of York
shire, is about to be made, and 1T is thought it
will be accepted by the men.
The Secretary of the Miners Union has
written to all the miners lodges that we are on
the eve of a terrible crisis which is not to be a
strike, but that terms must be made somehow.
He assures the miners if strike is begun there
is every likelihood of its continuing some time,
with the possibility of having to submit to still
greater reduction.

Comments On President Grants Message
LONDON, June 22.-The Standard says: eve
hope President Grants message does not ex-
press the settled determination of the Ameri-
can government relative to the eXtraditon
question. We infer from the message that if
we will concede somewhat an arrangement is
possible. The feeling between the two coun-
tries is now, we trust sufficiently good to allow
discussion of such matters in the common be-
lief that neither is trying to overre ach the 9TH
er. 1t does not appear that President Grant
disputes the justice of the principle which Eng
land wishes to establish. He objects only to a
point of honor. 1t is unfortunate that an
amended treaty was not negotiated in 1870 1t
is the business of a practical statesman to re-
pair the mistake in the best way possible"
The Times says the termination of the ex-
tradition treaty is calamity. 1t is satsfac-
tory to note that the President expresses read
mess TO open negotiations for more efficient
treaty.
The Times concludes: "We emphatically re-
peat the hope that no consideration of pique or
principles will be allowed to in terfere with the
negotiation of a new treaty.
