CITY AND COUNTY.


Rev Items Fer Our Rriendr In the
East te BEAD.
There are but few claims taken in the yiciu-
ify or Dodge City. The land 10 good. and We
want the county settled with ir iustrious farm
ers and stock raisers. Heretofore the business
men have depended upon the Texas cattle trade
Tor support. and have not tried 10 induce imrpi
grafton. The railroad company has been aux.
ioss to settle the country and sell its lapds cas-.
OF Us before putting this land into market. Por
these reasons no attention has been maid to
settling the country.
Dodge City is one Of the most promising town.
in Kansas, and the land and farms in its vicinity
will rapidly increase in value.
The substantial bridge across the Arkspss,
river. nst south Of the city, was built by a pri-
vate corporation, and At no expense TO the IA,
payers.
This.is the only organized county on the line
OF the Afchison, Topeka 4 santa Re Read where
government land can be obtained within ON.
and two miles Of the county seat.
A large tract Of Usage Indian land lays in this
vicinity, which is subject to entry nj the ex-
ceedingly low price of 81. Is per acre, one half
the price Of government land
There are thirteen counties attached 10 Ford
for judicial purposes. 1t is safe to say that those
counties will not be organized for many wears.
This leaves vast and unlimited range for
those desiring to procure good and lasting locs-
tons for stock ranches. Foremost Of the coup-
ties thus attached are Clark, Mead, Arapahoe,
foote, Stevens, Seward, Kansas and Stanton.
all well wafered by clear, running str-ams,
which furnish an abundance Of water ut all
seasons efthe year. Timber, sufficient for n,eI,
can also be found on thcsestreams.
The altitude and dryness Of the atmosphere
the comparative exemption from winter rains.
the boundless range, the luxurisn. grasses, and
the various convenienccs for shelter, make these
counties much sought affer for winter a, well rs
summer range.
The fertility ofthe soil cannot be surpassed.
consisting, in large proportion, Of thoroughly
drained valley lands, producing bountiftil crops
OF all The grains. fruits and vegetables OF the
temperate sone.
In addition to this there is q system Of sub
irrigation. The freshets Of June. and July, which
usually last until the middle Of August, supply
he soil with moisture suflici, mt To raise y good
crop, even in a drouthy season. The banks of
the Arkansas river seldom average more that
six feet above the river bed, yet, on account of
lis great width, the bottoms are never over
nown. The topography Of the country is gener-
ally level. Bottom lands, 20 per cent; up land,
80 per cent. Forest. per cent; prairie, % per
cent.
The average width Of the Arkansas valley in
this county Is from 10 TO Is miles
The county is well supplied with springs. aud
water can be obtained almost any place by dig
ging from ten to thirty feet.

WILD HORSES.
How They Arc Captured In Colorado A
Recent Exploit

The Tribune yesterday published a
short notice Of the capture Of wild horses
in northern Colorado. The Larimer
county Express has longer notice, and
as the article il an interesting one, we
republish the facts. Sheriff Coon, w.
f. Scribner, w. p. Morgan, Thomas
Earnest, and Steve and Charley George,
were the parties interested, and they
we're out last week, They went some
twenty miles north of fort Collins, and n
few miles east of Pierce station on the
Denver and Pacific railroad. Here they
made their headquarters for the cam.
paign. Within two miles of camp they
never failed to find band of wild horses.
Many long chase they had but they
finally succeeded in capturing ten head.
Two Of these, however, have the brand
of Mr.. McClelland, of Greeley.
A great many animals were seen.
Some of them were very valuable ones,
and were feet of feet. Three head at
tracted the attention and challenged the
admiration of the entire party. One
was a black mare, large, well proper
toned and beautiful, and they run her
over forty miles but couldn't catch her.
With this fine mare was colt which
seemed TO be a full-blooded Norman.
These two are certainly valuable stock
If they could be captured. The other
horse was dark stallion that would not
weigh much over three hundred pounds.
His name reached down to his knees and
his foretop TO his nostriPs, and resembles
a Shetland pony. lie is said to be
beauty. One wild band was seen which
seemed TO be composed entirely of large
American stock, and undoubtedly con.
tanned many valuable animals.
These horses are as wild IA antelopes,
and the strategy used TO get near the
latter has to be employed with the
former. The hunter must conceal him
self behind his horse until he gets as
near to tho herd as possible, when,
quickly mounting, he must dash into
the herd like lightning, cutting it in two
and starting portion of it in the direc-
ton Of the camp. No time must DO lost,
or the wild animals will escape. His
however, will assist in the
mad ride back TO camp, which is an at
tempt to drive the game Unto corral
If successful, then the work of roping
the animals is commenced, and right |
lively little job 1t proves to be.
The widest Of the horses were tied to |
the weakest, and thus all were driven to
town without much trouble. The same
parties have in contemplation hunt ere
long, Uealcr Tribune.

Inquiries are frequently made rs to
which is the most profitable branch of
farming. 1t depends on several contin-
gencics. In some places corn.growiug
and pork-raising, in others wool-growing,
and in Others dairying are steadily
profitable one year with another. Where
circumstances, such as rich corn land,
healthiul, dry pastures, or abundant
grass, with pure water, favor one or the

In both theory and practice it is too
oiten the case that lime is considered tn
be manure in the true intent and
meaning of the term, an |, except in q
few special cases, the tanner who adonts
the theory will, in the end, suffer for il
IL is true that lime, to limited extent
enters directly into the composition NJ
the crop, and to this extent il Is a ma
nIure, but nearly all soils contain enough
lime to supply the wants of an immense
number OF crops. Such being the case,
we must look TO some other mode Of ac.
ton to accomplish the benefits of its an.
plication. Apart from this slight ma
nurial action, and limited mechanical
ACTON, there is no doubt that the main
beneht Is clearly traceable to its chemi.
cal action in the constituents OF the soil;
'ie'etenous or inert compounds are de.
sstroyed, and valuable constituent, re-
leased, or new and beneficial compounds
formed. Lime facilitates the decomp,,-
sltion Of vegetable or organic matter,
and, to soil rich in this form of plant
iood, it may be applied for many years
