The feed consists of shorts and bran

boiled potatoes alternately. Running

Eight hundred hens consume ter

Fall Planting Of Trees.

In digging up trees great improve
ments have been made over former
years. The great anxiety to save a
"ball of earth" has given way to great
care to save all the roots. All the
use there can be to "ball of earth"is
TO keep the roots moist during remov-
al: but in most cases-indeed in all
except very small specimens-it is
found in practice that the preserva-
ton of young roots in the ball, is at
the expense of the numerous fine fib-
rous roots necessarily left outside.
The digging fork is now the chief tool
used in digging up trees; and the dis
lance from the trunk at which the
digging up is commenced is much far
Their Off After a circle two feet deep
is dug around tree, few thrusts of
the digging fork under the ball lifts
the whole mass oyer, and the soil can
be entirely shaken away.
In re-planting, it is desirable to use
soil for filing in that is nearly dry,
and viii crush to fine powder; it
will then fall in all around the root
spaces, and the harder it is stamped
or crushed in, the finer it will break
and cover up the young rootlets. If
the ground or weather be very dry,
water may be poured in heavily, to
assist in packing the soil well about
the roots, letting it soak away well
before filling in this soil very loosely,
and without pressure.

Pea Fowls.

There is, as is universally admitted,
no handsomer bird to be found for
grazing q lawn than the recognized
king of domes;icated fowls, the gaudy,
beautifully plumaged peacock, whose
fan he is ever willing to spread to the
gaze of all who come near. We have
never known this species to be raised
merely for profit, as they would cost
more to produce than could be realized
from them. They are naturally wild
in their disposition, and prefer trees
to buildings for roosting places, though
we know farmer who always drives
his into the hara at night, until they
seemed TO like TO put up there. The
hens arc very choice in the selection
Of their nests, and generally make
them in the thickest shrubbery, or in
some piece of woods where they will
be undisturbed. They lay from six to
seven eggs, and are about four weeks
Matching them. The hen seems to I'M
derstand the rearing of the young very
well though the young birds should be
cared for as carefully as young turkeys
are, to keep them protected from the
night air and dews, until they have
dropped their downy coats. Pea fowls
are more constant TO their young, and
their young TO them, than any of the
common poultry, for the pea hen cares
for her flock for several months. We
once killed enc OF our young pea fowls
then about six months old, to test the
flavor of their rcputed fine flesh, and
for several days the mother kept ny a
dismal and disconsolate wailing for
the loss of her young. The flesh of
the pea fowl, when young, is fine and
carney in flavor, and we appreciated it
very much indeed, though not without
thinking of the disconsolate mother
fowl, and musing that her loss was our
gain.-Ihc Poultry World.

Wheat Crop---Business.


The Chicago Inter- Ocean has All ar.
ticlc on the wheat crop of 1877, from
which we gather the main facts. AS
a general proposition the crop has
been uniformly good throughout the
the country-east and west, and The
aggregate yield will come fully up to
the estimates of the carly part of the
season.
La Califorxia the crop is compare
lively light, but Oregon and Washing
ton, by their increase, will keep up
the average of the Pacific coast.
East Of the Rocky Mountains the
largest crop of wheat ever known has
been harvested. Kansas reports 20,-
600, 600 bushels, au increase of $780,
600 over last year all in winter wheat.
Minnesota, one of the staple wheat
States, comes forward with an in
crease Of 10000 bushels. Wiscon-
sin increases 100000, Iowa also in
creascs her yield 100000 Illinois
increases in forty-three counties from
five to twenty-five per cent. Indians
adds to her last years report 100000
and Ohio foots up gain of 100000,
while Kentucky has 100000 bushels
over her average crop.
We have seven States which give
the crop in bushels: Kansas, 10000
900; Minnesota, 5,000,0 goo; Wisconsin,
%, O0O, 900; Indiana, 100000; Iowa,
81 900, 600; Ohio, $4,000, 900; Kentucky,
Is, 600 900. In all these seven States
give an aggregate yield Of III 100000
bushels of wheat.
This enormous yield, together with
the corn crop, which at this writing
is fun of promise, must induce great
activity in the grain market. We
may safely estimate tie wheat crop
within the range of the Kansas City
market, at 100000 bushels greater
than last year.
In Kansas alone the increased acre
age in corn this year is 64S,554 acres
and the yield is estimated at 100000
600 bushels. Taking the wheat, corn,
rye, oats, and the product of Kansas
will come up to $40, 100000 bushels.
This is something wonderful for so
new q State, and must put Kansas in
the front rank of farming States. And
when we remember that her popula-
ton is but half million, it is $50
bushels of grain to the inhabitant.

The Grange Lecturer.

The office Of Lecturer of Grange
is not a subordinate one. 1t is, in fact,
the most important one in many re-
spects. He does not, of course, take a
leading part in the routine business OF
the Grange, nor are his duties, while
comforting the degrees, conspicuous.
His is labor of love. He must work
while others rest, in order to store the
granary Of his own mind with useful
knowledge, to be disbursed as occa-
sion demands.
The lecturer is teacher. He is, or
should be, the instructor of the Grange
ana the counselor of every member.
He should bring to the performance OF
his duties an earnest desire to do
good. lie should be Jealous in labor
that he may convince by the very pow
or of his own belief. He cannot ex-
pect to be success if he gives no
thought to his duties and allows them
to 60 unfulfilled upon every possible
occasion. His Grange is his school,
the members are his pupils, the out
side world contains the material for
its enlargement.
A Grange can scarcely fail to be
prosperous if the Lecturer does his
whole duty. OF course the active co,
operation of the other officers, espe'
cially the Master, is greatly to be de-
sired. If the whole team will pull to-
gether and work tremendously, sue.
cess is sure to reward their labors.
The Lecturer of the State Grangs
should be salaried officer, and the
salary should be liberal one, so that
he may be able to spend his entire
time in instructing the subordinate
Oranges. He should be man well
yersed, not only in the principles and
objects Of the Order, but in all the de-
tails of agricultural life.

Crcp and Business Prospects.

The past season has been very ia.
vorable one for the people of Kansas,
taking everything into consideration.
The seasonable rains have brought
forward the very large area of late
planted corn. The growth of grass
has been large and fine, and an i'm
mense hay crop viii be put up. Stock
Of every kind is in good condition for
fall and winter feeding. The fruit
crop is turning out better than il
promised earlier in the season and
with the prospect of fair paving prices
for all kinds of grain and stock this
coming fall and winter the outlook is
altogether moro encouraging than it
has been for years.-KanSds Farmer.

Greenbacks and Silver.

Had silver retained its place as
money for the payment of our national
debts, as it should have done, the spe-
Gle resumption aimed at would prac-
tically be reached to-day. In fact,
greenbacks would be at premium, as
the money market quotations are
silver, 95I-2; greenbacks, 90 1-2. 1t is
very encouraging evidence of the
confidence of the people in the faith
and credit of the Government, that
grcenbacks are more valuable in the
market to-day than silver.-Kdnsas
