for Making Good Butter.
LCOleman's Rural World
| Good, sweet, yellow, hard butter is n good
thing TO have. II requires skill TO make it,.
| II also requires all necessary conveniences.
/ But few are supplied with these convenien-
ces. Consequently. the great mass OF butter
is poor. Farmers should see that their wives

statistic rolls for that township. He gives

Plant Potatoes for SOur Cows il
Nothing Else.
walnut Valley Times. .G1
We see plainly tncre will not be half as
many potatoes planted in the Walnut Valley
this spring that there ought to be-, owing
partly to the scarcity and high price of seed,
and partly TO the feeling that they are not a
paying crop. This last impression is mis-
take. Some good esculent is necessary for
mich cows and fattening animals and pota-
toes are the best.

One Thing That Retards iTnmigra.
ton From the East.
walnut Valley Times, g.
The great obstacle to emigration from the
Eastern States to Kansas is the want of buy
ers for the land of those who want TO move.
This is a very goo thing, for if everybody
who wants TO come to Kansas could get here,
the State would be only vast camping
ground. From one to five thOusanda day is
about as much as can be comfortably taken
care Oh even III fNdu>stsr NIlcIt biicy llIh5s
no other people can do.
