WATER.

The county is watered by tie Neosho
river, which flows through it from N.
w. to S. E., and by its tributaries in the
middle and western portion and by the
Marmaton and Usage in the east. Each
of these streams is skirted by belt of
excellent timber and flows through fine
alluvial bottoms FROM half a mile to q
mile in width. Water for domestic pur-
poses is found in springs and wells OF
moderate depth.

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
OF Elm Greek and the Neosho River,
and on the L. L. & G. railroad. The
Neosho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures. Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet Il has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian, and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
and the professions are wen represented;
and property can now be purchased at
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WELL.
The lola Mineral we'll is at this time
the chief attraction of the town. The
wonderful cures performed by this water
have proved that its healing properties
are second to none in the country. A
hotel and bath rooms have been put up
at the we'll, and the afflicted from al
parts Of the country are coming here for
treatment; and already the water from
this famous we'll 10 being shipped in large
quantities Throughout this and adjoining
States.

The soil Of the uplands is . black or
dark red cslcareOus 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 for the successful
production of all the grains, graaes,
fruits and vegetables of this latitude can
be found in the State.

The LeDvenworth, Lawrence & Gal
weston railroad traverses the county
from north to south. passing through the
towns Of lola and Humboldt, and affords
direct connection with Lawrence and
LeavenwOrth in Kansas and Kansas City
in Missouri. This last is one Of the best
markets in the country and is but six
hours from lola, the county seat.
The NJ. X. 4 T. passes through the
s. w. corner of the county, touching ut
Humboldt, and affords an outlet to the
mining regions Of the west, and south to
Texas and the Gulf.

PRODUCTS.

AS elsewhere stated this county is we'll
suited to all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to 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

the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.

War ON the Hoppers.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune sends
to that paper the following letter on the locust
question. He says it details the best way to de-
stroy the pests. We publish it because it ap-
pears to embody some good ideas, and parties in
terested may find the methods proposed eff
cient:
GAS soon as you discover the young hoppers
are Matching take your team and plow and plow
q furrow around every field, and if the field is
large do the same through once or more times,
according to the size. Then shovel the loose
dirt from the furrow from six to ten inches deep
(the deeper the better) The hoppers when
small will hop into these bitches by the million
and die. To enable them to do SO moro readily,
take piece of common cotton cloth from sixteen
to twenty feet in length, fasten one edge to q
light pole or rope aud weight the other with
pieces of lead. Then let two men or boys take
each end of this, and drive the hoppers into the
ditch by walking along, with the club between
them, slowly toward the ditch, and shaking the
cloth lightly, SO as to keep the hoppers hopping
into the ditch. This should he done when the
hoppers are very small, then they cannot get out
Of the ditch and will die If they grow too large,
before they all destroyed to stay in the ditch
bitten your team to a short log, some ten inches
or more in diameter, according to the width of
the ditch, and draw it through, back and forth,
and kill them.
have known large field of grain saved in
this way in Minnesota, without the help of the
tual with its help.
1t will be q little discouraging for a farmer to
destroy the hoppers his farm, and all his
neighbors leave theirs to grow but every one
who 10 acquainted with the habits of these pests
knows that as soon as they can fly they immi-
CRATE to some new field of plumber, and will not
do much damage where they have grown.
If the farmers of the grssshopper section will
generally adopt this plan, they will certainly
save themselves from very great loss.

For the farmer.
CULTIVATION OF sTRAwBERRIKs.

Mr.. Samuel Miller, of Blnffton, Missouri re
Gently read an address this subject before the
Horticultural Society, from which we make the
following extract:
deep, aud be made very rich. Get good strong
plants and set them out as early in the Spring
as the ground will permit. For regular field cul-
ture we would recommend planting one foot
apart in the row, and the rows three feet apart.
Cultivate thoroughly the first season, keeping off
all the runners, and in the Fall as soon as the
ground freezes, cover the whole with straw,
weeds or any other kind of litter. Let the Gov
ering be thickest between the rows and be but
thinly spread on the plants, wait until the fruit
is ripe; and if these instructions be properly car
ried out the grower will be astonished at the re-
suit, if he has never seen it tried before. do no
cultivating whatever until the fruit is gathered,
then the ground between each alternate row
can be dug under, spading in the mulch, and
runners allowed to take up this space, while
the next be kept clear of weeds and no runners
allowed to take root Thus the third year you
have matted beds of three feet width, with al
leys the same. When Winter comes give these
beds slight covering, and the following season
the crop will not be composed of as uniform
large berries, but the product will be about as
great as can possibly be gathered from the ground
This may be allowed to bear the following year,
and then plowed down as soon as the fruit is
gathered, we'll MANFRED, and late crop Of sweet
corn raised, to be in turn planted again the next
Spring. But there must be rotation, and one
third of the ground that is to be occupied with
strawberries must be planted each year. This
we deem the most particular plan, and it has
been carried ont by several We know of besides
oursef. Bear in mind that deep, rich soil, we'll
mulched in the beginning of Winter, are the main
points of success One important thing is, to get
some plants with some life in them, and not lit
tie spindling things that have been growing as
thick on the ground as they could stand: and are
perhaps offered at two dollars per Thousand.
As TO varieties. Every one contemplating
their cultivation should ascertain from some one
who has experience, how certain varieties do in
certain soils, for they differ much in different
localities that it is almost impossible to give
proper advice. Our experience will be given by
which those having similar soil judge.
Downer's Prolific has never failed to give us sat
isfactory results for ten years. and is still about
the most valuable quite early one. Duchess. is
claimed to be still earlier, larger productive and
Of excellent quality. Wilson's Albany is still,
perhaps, more extensively planted than all 9TH
ers, because it win stand more neglect and still
bear fruit; but no one will vary more than this,
for when well grown and fully ripe it is good
berry, and if too much neglected it will be small,
hard and worthless.

Farmer, Spare that Sod.

In many portions of Illinois, and other prairie
States, the farmers have come to regret that they
destroy SO large an amount of the native sod.
They discovered when it is all too late that there
is grass like the native of the prairie for with
standing extremes of heat and cold, wet and dry
ness. Ii is not only hardy, but produces album
daDt feed year after year without Te-seeding and
without the application of manure. 1t seems to
thrive very well in places where timothy aud
clover are drowned out, and produce a goodly
amount of food at times when all the cultivated
grasses are parched by the long continued drouth.
Other grasses will produce more food OH soils es-
pecially adapted to them for a limited number of
years, but none of them will produce as much
continuously, take soils as they go. Prairie
grass for grazing purposes is never appreciated
till it becomes scarce.
1t is true that it is not as nutritious as some
grasses, although it is not very far behind them.
1t is also true that other grasses can be intro
dnced with the prairie grass to most excellent
advantage without breaking the sod. When clo-
Yer is sOwn on a sod of prairie grass in small
quantities, it will maintain itself a number of
years. The firm prairie sod keeps it from being
thrown ont by the action of the frost. Nearly ali
the cultivated grasses may be introduced on
prairie sod, by sowing the seed in early Spring
and using light harrow to cover it. The first
rain will carry down the dirt that has been dis
turbed, and leave the surface as smooth as before
the harrow was used. Many farmers in central
and southern Illinois have introduced Kentucky
blue grass in the way we have suggested. Red
top, which is an excellent pasture grass, may be
introduced in the same way.
Every farmer would also do well to reserve
field of native prairie for meadow. Even If cul-
tivated grasses are chiefly relied on for hay, q
small amount of prairie hay is excellent for 3
change. There is no more healthful food for hor-
SEES than prairie hay, especially if it contains, as
it ordinarily does, goody amount of resen weed.
Many who keep horses in this city prefer prairie
hay to any other, and continue to purchase it as
long as it can be obtained at the same price that
timothy can. 1t is by no means unlikely that
the time will come when prairie hay will be
brought here from distance to supply tho hor-
ses Of "some of our best families" 1t is q mista-
ken notion that prairie grass is not benefited by
manure. 1t will thrive under its influence the
same as other grasses will.-Chiocgo Times.
