BUl DING, FENCING
AND EUEI..

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 fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient fur domestic
purposes, and will no doubt lie dcvel-
"ped as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet SD disinsed rs to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

As elsewhere stated this county is we'll
suited To all the productions of this
latitude, hut is especially adapted tn the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-
mirably, and particularly the last. The
inexhaustable supply OF native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser a most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and

that any one can engage in.

CHEAP LANDS.

Notwithstanding the county has been
settled for many years and contains q
population of over 1000, large bodies of
unimproved lands are yet for SALE These
lands belong to the L. l.. & g. and NJ
K. & I. railroad companies, and are
offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist.
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or so to 5
bushels of corn per acre is sold at $500
per acre for cash, or $4.0O on time. Al
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, single crop will pay the
entire cost of the land.
During last season many parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold at Csc. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking tor new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old set

AMONG the many localities in Kansas
which offer peculiar advantages to the
Home-Seeker, Allen County, as regards
Location, Soil, Water, Timber, Cheap
Land, Convenience to Market, Facilities
for Transportation, Towns, Settlements
and Society, stands second to no other in
the State, as brief reference to the above
mentioned particulars will show:
LOCATION.
This county is second from the East
and third from the South line of the
State. 1t is one hundred miles south
east from Topeka, seventy-five miles
south from Lawrence, one hundred south
west of Kansas City and twenty-five
miles west from Fl. Scott and lies mainly
within the celebrated Neosho valley.
The soil of the uplands is q black or
dark red calcareOus loan of great depth
and inexhaustable fertility, while that
of the bottoms is the black alluvial de-
posits usually found in such localities,
and varying from four to ten feet in
depth. No better soils tor the successful
production of all the grains, grasses.
fruits and vegetables of this latitude can
be found in the State.

Liquid Drafting Wax

A correspondent Of the Practical Far
mer gives the following direction for
making hquid grating wax, which, be-
ing about tns consistence of honey,
may be readily appned with brush for
outdoor grating. without the trouble Of
heating. 1t is also excellent to oSver cuts
made in pruning MELT together lib.
of rosin and lb. Of best follow. Remove
from stove and let cool until a scum
forms over it then add l teaspoonful
spirits of turpentine; replace on stove and
add 7 OF. of a mixture off parts strong al
oohol and part water, stirring briskly,
and taking care that the alcohol does
not infame, as it will if the mixture is
too hot. Stir until the liquid is lost in
the mixture, when it should be of the
consistency ofhoney. Keep in closed
bottle and apply with brush. If after
a month or twoit becomes hard, remelt
add few drops more of the turpentine,
and more Of the alcohol and water. A
few days after it is applied it becomes
hard, and will remain unchanged, ex-
cept that it grows harder, for an indefi-
mite time.

Poultry has its faneiers and swines
its breeders. Those engaged with either
branch Of the business are largely en-
thusiasts in that direction, and to an
extent ride, hobby. This is natural
and right; ia fact, where it is so the re-
suits attained would never be reached ;
it is the thorough wedding to an occu-
patton that makes it succeed; but the
question is are the hens supplanting the
hogs? Its stated on authority that if
the same qnaEtity Of food is given out
to chickens that is fed to hog they
will produce more pounds, and return
greater margins Of profit than the pork,
to say nothing Of the eggs produced,
and they will pay for the grain. Pigs,
from the time they breathe are calling
for food, and the amount consumed in
growing and fattening hog is sur
prising. Then when we consider the
immensely greater value there is in
poultry meat over pork for producing
brain and muscle, is it not fair to sup
pose that poultry will make inroads
upon pork, and we shall find ourselves
feeding more on chickens and less on
piggy.

In conversation with Mr.. Jos. Stout
Of this town, who keeps from 500 to
1000 fowls, and who sells large quanti-
ties Of eggs and chickens in the Balti-
more markets, he gave me the follow
ing remedy for the above disease, which
he has made use Of for several years,
and which he considers a certain cure !:
Take handful ofwhite coax bark and
boil it in quart Of water to make a
strong decoction. After it cools, take
the liquid and mix in. Indian or
corn meal, to the proper consistency to
feed, and give to the fowls. Mix a
teaspoonful of red or cayenne pepper to
two quarts Of the feed. The fowls will
eat this mixture readily. His theory is
that the..cholera is species of diarr h@a,
and the bark acting as an astringent,
cures the complaint. Many of his
nsighbors have also tried this remedy
with great success.

INCLINATION OF A HORSES EYE
A speck in the eye Of a horse, resulting
from inflammation, may be absorbed in
time, if a return of the cause is guarded
against. A good cool dressing for the
eye. is four grams of sugar of lead, dis
solved in one ounce of rain water; or
sulphate Of zinc may be used instead Of
the lead. A rag, saturated with the So
luton, should be hung over the eye, and
the animal kept in q dark stable for
some days. The absorption Of the
speck may often be fastened by blow
ing into the eye, through geose-quill.
a pinch of burnt alum.

Prot. Law, in lecture on animal
parasites delivered before the Farmers
Club OF Ithica, N. Y, condensed re-
port of which we find in the Country
Gentleman, stated that intestinal
worms might find ingress to the animal
through drinking impure water.
These animals, known as pin worms,
(Sclerostornum equinum and S. tetra-
canthum, and Oxyuris curvula and 0.
viyipara, and which are only an inch
or two in length, attack the mucous
membranes, and bore their way into
them, obstructing circulation, causing
inflammation, and inducing cramps, COLES
and indigestion. Other species attack
swine, sheep and poultry. Largely
magnified representations Of their eggs
were also represented by charts. These
eggs are swallowed by the ANIMALS in
drinking impure water, and hence the
Importance Of providing that which is
pure and free from them. The eggs
will remain uninjured for a year,
and may be carried miles in streams
and then be swallowed and hatch in
the stomachs and intestines of animals.
The eggs will remain unframed in ice,
even at the temperature of zero, and
are unaffected by the heat of the SUMS
rays. They may be conveyed from
the manure which contains them, by
subterranean streams into adjacent
wells. In some places sheep have
Persisted in large numbers from attacks
of these animals, and their presence in
swine is well-known; but horses suffer
most.
The first thing to be done is to pre-
vent their propagation. Hence pure
water only should be supplied for drink.
Rainwater is safest, as 1t cannot con-
tain them. Spring and wells may be
selected, if situated where there can
be no intiltration. Porous soils, near
manure heaps, may readily convey the
eggs. Prof. Law pointed out in detail
the treatment of animals which contain
them, and the use Of proper medicines.
The indications Of the presence OF these
worms in the horse are ageneral TN
thrifty appearance, irregularity with
looseness or costiveness from internal
arrangement, rubbing of the tail, SC.
The passage Of the worms and eggs is
shown by examination of the manure
under the microscope. The whole of
this lecture was scientific and practical,
interesting and instructive in charac-
ter.
