Breeding Stock On the Farm.

An Eastern paper furnishes the fol-
lowing good advice on the subject OF
farm breeding of stock. 1t says:
SIN view of the market for choice
stock lately throw open to our farm
ers by the expectation of cattle and
meat to Europe, it behooves them to
pay increased attention to the raising
of superior animals on the farm. A
late report of the American meat trade
by Prof. Shelder, Of the Cirincester
Agricultural College, England, after
furnishing mass OF information on
the subject, comes to the conclusion
that. despite some fluctuations, the
dead meat trade viii rapidly increase,
and that appliances for its successful
management will be multiplied here
and in Europe. The profits of the
traffic viii be in great measure pro-
portionaie TO the excellence Of the
product, and the limit to the quantity
shipped viii be the ,stowage capacity
of vessels crossing the Atlantic; for,
owing to the falling off in our imports
the number of ships engaged in the
transatlantic trade will be too small
to afford room for large export of
meat together with other merchandise
without advancing the freight to a fig
ure that will prohibit further export

The Wheat Crop Of the Stats.

Although the majority of our CORE
spondents continue to give cheerful
accounts of the wheat crop in almost
all parts of the State, we fear-in fact
we consider it moral certainty-that
the frequent and continuous heavy
rains and cloudy weather Of last week
must work great injury to the wheat.
When wheat is in blossom, and SUBJ
ject to the blossom period, if it is sub
jected to such weather as experienced
last week, the heads become scabbed,
destroying the blossoms to great ex-
tent. and the tender, maturing grains,
while the red rust affects seriously the
blades aud straw. The grain at thresh-
ing time, after such seasons as we
have experienced the past fortnight,
invariably falls short of expectations
based on appearances, while much of
it proves to be shriveled and imper-
feet. This season cannot prove an ex-
ception to ali previous experience,
and we do not hesitate to predict
much injury to the wheat crop, and a
heavy discount of the anticipations
which the appearance of the crop till
recently justiiled.-KaasGs Farmer.

Grange Lecturers.


The Cincinnati Grange Bulletin says:
at is reported that the executive COM
mittee OF the Indiana State Grange,
at a meeting just held, had under con-
sideration the employment of lectur-
ers to revive the interest of the order,
but took no definite action with refer
ence to the matter because of the diff
ficulty to obtain such talent as would
make the lectures of permanent bene-
fit to the order. If the committee
command the funds TO pay the actual
expenses of lecturers and a slight re-
muueration for loss of time, we do
not think the difficulty of getting such
as will permanently benefit the order
is serious. But even though it be Sc
rious, is the committee justified in
making no effort to surmount it, W hen
the good that able lecturers can do is
unquestlonably great and very much
needed.

Setting Hens.


The nests of setting hens should be
made in good-sized box, sufficiently
large for the fowl to turn around in or
otherwise shift her position, without
inconvenience. Three or four inches
of moist earth finely pulverized should
be placed in the bottom of the box,
forming the foundation of the nest.
Make the surface of the earth slightly
concave, line with soft, clean, sweet
hay. sprinkled with sulphur. Place
the box where other fowls, dogs or
other animals will not disturb the
setter; provide food, water and dust
bath for her necessities place from
thirteen to fifteen eggs under her and
patiently await results. The dirt in
the bottom of the nest should be kept
slightly moist during the incubating
period. This can be done by gently
raising the sides of the hay and
sprinkling the exposed surface of the
earth with tepid water. A great
source of annoyance and loss to the
poultry raiser is produced by a neglect
of the above mentioned precautions.
No air must circulate under the eggs,
as is often the case when a nest is loca-
ted in an elevated box, partially filed
with hay only. The temperature of
the eggs cannot be kept at a proper
point and they soon become added.
Disturbing the setter at frequent and
periods produces the same
results. The true way is to initiate
nature, as far as possible, which pro-
vides moist, cool nest and perfect

The farmers of Kansas, untaught by
the lessons Of the past, are pursuing
the same reckless course of their an-
cestors of the older eastern States,
drawing on the rich store of plant
food in the virgin soil of the prairie,
without q thought or care of the near
future. Thousands of tons of the
most precious constituents of the soil
are annually wasted by them, or al
lowed to run to waste, without a
thought for the future. The tens of
thousands of bushels of corn, aud tons
of hay that pass through the stock
that is fed on Kansas farms, are lost
without the slightest concern for the
future needs Of their now rich acres.
The piles of manure which accumu-
late at every stable in the cities and
towns Of the State, have to be remoy-
ed at the expense of the owner, who
pays some carter to haul it away, and
drop it in ravine or some out of the
way spot, where the floods may carry
it TO the streams.
This is terribly improyident prac-
tice, but it Is only repetition ofwhat
was the prevailing custom hundred
years ago in the old Atlantic States,
and at later period in the middle
western States. And now the farm
ers in all of those old settled countries
are eager to pay two dollars for a two
horse load of manure, and haul it from
the stable door. Here in Kansas the
unfortunate owner of the stable is
compelled to pay from twenty-five to
fifty cents to carter to remove the
accumulations of his stable. There,
the fortunate owner of pile of ma
nure is solicited for the privilege of
allowing the neighborhood farmers to
haul the manure from the premises,
and receive two dollars cash in hand
for the favor. Like history, this same
thing will be repeated here in few
years. In the meantime, our present.
day farmers complain of hard times
aud crop failures, while those living
near towns might have the vital ele-
ments of good crops for the taking.
Our rich, virgin soil produce album
dainty at present without manure, but
they would produce more abundantly,
and better grain by the application of
the rich manures which are allowed
to run to waste.
1t is not wise to put off the use OF
manure until the soil begins to show
exhaustion, but begin to use that
which is Of easy access at once, and
seek to return to the land the grain
cons tituents, which every crop is
drawing largely from it. Nothing
will make so fine wheat crop as
surface application of horse manure,
either before or after the grain is
sown. The straw will be white and
and clear, the grain plump and heavy,
and ripen early. Every eastern farm
er knows this, yet he grows careless
and improvident, when he moves on
to the prairies.-Kdasa Farmer.

Young Chickens.

Those not out, need extra care and
attention. Animal food of some kind
is OF the utmost Importance, there be-
ing no worms or insects now for them
to catch. Ground scraps, beef or
pork, scalded with their soft 70 cd, are
excellent; if this is not obtainable,
boil up a sleeps haslet, or some beef
liver, or rough meat, scald the feed
with the boiling liquor, and stir the
meat in, first having chopped it fine.
Feed them little and often. Don't
give them enough TO have them leave
i: and tread it in the dirt. Be sure
they are kept warm. If with the hen
have them In sunny spot, protected
from the wind so that when the hen
is eating or standing around the little
chicks are not suffering with the cold.

Dropped frcm The Rolls for Nsppaymsnt Of Dues

Ulolpel lllH Inc I0llS loI Netpey HeAb u tues
A peculiar feature of grange usage
is the act of subordinate grange
known as dropping from the roll"
This is not the punishment usually
known as suspension, nor is it expul-
sion, and yet il may be considered
either or both. 1t differs from sus-
pension in this: A member suspend
ed can be restored only by the act of
the grange suspending him. Should
he be dropped from the rolls" he can
reinstaie himself at any time by CON-
ing forward and paying up his dues
that had accrued before and after the
act of dropping from the rolls. 1t is
similar to suspension because until he
reinstates himself he is debarred all
privileges of the order, and all affilia-
ton as member. 1t differs from ex-
puIsion because the delinquent may
reinstate himself, but it is expulsion
or indefinite suspension if the indi-
Viuual cncCees 80 10 indst IL. WEile
it would be, perhaps, best that each
subordinate grange should adopt
law declaring what shall constitute
delinquency in the payment of dues,
and providing for notices to be given
delinquents, yet it is deemed sufficient
authority to visit this pasishment up
ON all who do not comply with the
general law that each member shall
pay regular dues into the treasury of
his or her subordinate grange. Oranges
that have promptly and thoroughly
applied this remedy for delinquency
have, as general rule, enjoyed a |
greater degree ofprosperity than 9TH
ers that carry so much dead weight.

A fact which the political papers
might ruminate with profit, is that,
notwithstanding the strength of the
order as a political organization, one

Master if that official brother should
become candidate for official honors.

some leading articles on the ''colapse

Six Million Farmers.

By the last census there were nearly
three millions of farmers and planters
who owned their lands. There were
about an eq nal number of men who
rented lands or worked as farm hands.
In the South these were mostly freed
men, but in the North farmers sons.
The number of land renters in tie
North is comparatively small as COM
pared with the land owners. The
whole number of men who work land
for living, including tenants, hired
laborers and farmers sons, is not far
from six million, and represent about
five million families, or more than one
half the total population of the Amer.
