Thoughts for Farmsra.

Is there any natural or necessary an
tagonism between culture OF the mind
and culture of the SELL One would
think so to observe the stubbornncss
with which some farmers resist all eff
forts to improve the social life and
manners of their households and
neighbors. There is among the farm
ers an immense amount of common
sense, of native mother-wit, sharpened
by observation and brcadened by re-
Fiction, and of the clear-headness and
sound-heartedness that come from
healthful and close connection with
nature. But good many of them are
very much afraid of what are called
refinements of society, and the ameni-
ties of social life, But we are glad to
see that the stupid, hard, treadmill,
ox-like life of the frrm-which for the
past generation has been shriveling up
the souls of men aad sending their
wives to the insane asylum or kinder
refuge in the gave-is giving way to
enlightened progress in many sections.
Farmers clubs, debating societies,
neighborhood meetings for socialitly
and comparison OF experiences, brief
winter vacations i'll the cities, and even
revival of the old-fashioned apple
bees, are adding to the social life of
farming unities.-Goldca Rale.

Kansas Castor Beans.

The castor bean crop in the country
tributary to Kansas City is of no small
importance. Single counties of East
ern Kansas have this year raised as
high as 100000 bushels, and as they are
always in demand at their value in
cash, and not liable TO be destroyed by
the locust, they are thought by many
to be quite as profitable as any crop
produced. The yield this year has
ranged from ten to twenty bushels per
acre, and the price so fer since selling
began has been from 80 cents to $l.25.
in some counties the farmers who raise
castor beans have held meetings and
organized themselves as "Bean
Club" for cooperation in selling their
crop to the best advantage, and
through selling committee ihey re-
ceiye bids from manufacturers, ship
pers and dealers for a certain number
of bushels TO be delivered within a
certain time. One county club has con-
tracted for quantity of its beans to a
firm of local buyers at S1.15 bushel,
the minimum quantity specified being
10000 bushels and the maximum IS 900
bushels, the buyers furnishing sacks to
the farmers at wholesale pciccs. One
firm of buyers has sent off as high as
twenty car loads of hpans in ono dav

Horse Stables.


Dark stables are an abomination and
should not be tolerated. There is no
necessity to sacrifice comfort, either in
summer or winter, to secure enough
light. A horses eyes are enlarged
the pupil of the eye is-by being kept
in dark stable. He has the harness
put on him, and suddenly brought out
into the bright, glaring sunlight, (which
contracts the pupil so suddenly as 10
cause extreme pain. BY persevering
in this foolish and injudicious as well
as cruel practice, the nerve of the eye
becomes impaired, and, if continued
long enough, loss of sight will ensue.
To see how very painful it is to face a
very bright light after having been in
the dark, take q walk some dark night
for short time, till the eye becomes
accustomed to the darkness, then drop
in, suddenly, some well-lighted room,
aud you will be scarcely able to see for
few moments in the sudden light.
You know how painful it is yourself.
then why have your horse repeatedly
bear such unnecessary pain A dark
stable is invariably damp one, and
such stables we are not willing to put
either valuable working or driving
horse in. Give good ventilation, let
the sunshine and the air have chance
to effect an entrance, and your stables
will be purer and more healthy.-NY.

Feed and Breed of Dairy Cows.

Mr.. E, /. Sturtevant, Of South
Pennington, Massachusetts, makes the
following sum mary of conclusions at
which he had arrived on this subject,
after many years of study and prac-
teal experiments
l. The production of butter is
largely dependent on breed.
2. There is structural limit to the
production OF butter to each cow.
3. That when COW is fed to this
limit, increased food cannot increase
the product.
4. That the superior cow has this
structural limit at a greater distance
from ordinary feed, and is more ready
to respond to stimulants than the in
ferior COW.
5. That consequently the superior
COW is seldom fed to her limit, and as
a practical conclusion, increased feed
with superior lot of cows will in
crease the butter product, but if fed
to an inferior lot of cows, waste can
but be the result.
6. That the character of the food
has some influence on the character
of the butter, but even here breed in
fluences more than food.
z. That there is no constant rela-
ton between the butter product and
the cheese product.
s. That the caseine retains a con-
slant percentage, and that this per-
centage does not appear to respond to
increase of food.
9. That the caseine appears to re-
main constant without regard to the
season.
10. That increase in the quantity
of milk is followed by an increase in
the total amount of caseine.
IL. That insufficient feed acts di-
rectly to check the proportion of but
ter, and has tendency to decrease
the caseine of the milk and substitute
albumen.
II. The best practice of feeding is
to regulate the character of the food
BY the character of the animal fed;
feeding superior cows nearer the limit
of their production than inferior
cows, feeding, if for butter, more con-
centrated and nutritious foods than
for cheese; feeding for cheese product
succulent material which will increase
the quantity of the milk yield.-But-
ter, Cheese and Eggs Reporter.

Early Peaches in Kansas.

Many of the readers CT the Post re-
member that last spring, in an article
written by myself on this subject, all
the facts at hand were stated. Since
that time another years record of
fruitage has been added. Near Hum
boldt, on the 25th of June last, saw
specimens Of Amsden, ripe and Of good
size and quality. AT Chanute, saw
the same few days later; but Mr..
Bailey, on whose premises the tree
stood, said that the first ripe specimens
were found on the 4th or 9Th of July.
From several sources | received like
reports. My own trees of this variety
were not old enough TO bear.
The Alexander, from numerous re-
ports, is equally early and often of the
appearance in all respects. Mr.. Wick
ersham, of Parsons, had it ripe on the
last days of June, and Mr.. jackson, of
Chanute, on the 4th of July. AT Fort
Scott and Lawrence it ripened about
VIZ SAINT
Early Beatrice was ripe at my own
place on July 9TH, and continued until
the Goth. The fruit is not quite as large
as Iale's Early, but it is much more
highly colored, being almost as red as
Winesap apples, and well favored.
Trees set last year (1S76), bore in every
case not less than six good specimens,
and some trees dozen or more. sold
trees of this variety last spring to ma
nv who viii read this, and such may
be sure that it has proved by this year
experience that il is all l said, viz !:
two weeks earlier, and as hardy and
productive as Hale's Early.
Until this year, we in Kansas had
only the record of experience with
these three new early peaches in Mis-
souri, and the more eastern States. In
addition to these well-knowI early
peaches, we have here in Kansas at
least dozen other new seedlings, some
of them bearing this year for the first
time. Ii would be useless 10 give their
history, for it will take years of trial
to prove their standing.

The DEPosToRs LosT.-One evening
when the Collateral Loan and Savings
Bank was in it's heydey Of success,
and it came the hour for locking up
the treasure for the night, the mana
ger Of the bank, is related, that fnan-
lcial athlete, Jack Tylor, went back
to shoot the massive bolts. Presently
he came back to the clerks and said,
"Boys there's only a five dollar piece
tonight. Let's toss up whether to
buy supper with it or lock it up.o
"That's a CO." said clerk. Heads
you buy the supper; tails we buy it,"
Jack Tylor tipped it into the air,
and when it hit the floor it happened
to stick in crack and stand up edge
wise, and was pitch and toss men call
a "cock die" This appeared to raise
a serious question, but the mighty
mind Of Jack Tyler answered it at
once:
"See here, boys, it don't make no
real odds which of us has won; it's
as clear as the nose on a mans face
that the depositors have lostn
"Ha! hal ha! Jack, you're gen
ius, and no mistake" and ths empty
safe was carefully locked
That night, not even a poor man
going home from his long toll to his
family, that had pinched themselves
to put few dollars in Jack Tyler's
back, could have found it in his heart
TO complain that the toss up had gone
against him when he saw how thor
oughly happy was Jack Tyler as he
felt his jovial way home along lamp
and hitching posts from liquid din
ner at the Maison Dore.-[San Fran
