The better the prepsr ,tion OF the ground
the better the crop. The high average yield
OF the English farms is no doubt largely due
TO the thorough preparation of the ground
be fore seeding. Oar climate is superior to
that OF England for wheat growing; yet a
yield OF "a bushels per acre is not at all infre-
quent among good farmers there, while here
~ bushels per acre is AN unusual yield. Two
piowings, several harrowings.and in many
cases rolling or crushing, and the excellent

IL was shrewd remark made by an Old
farmer when AN advocate of high culture Was
advising the use of costly methods, and en-
forced his ideas with the statement that the
expenditure, although very large, would pay
5 good Interest; but how about the pTlnci-
PAL: when will that come back sgain"" he
was asked. This is worth thinking of before
one sinks money in improvements that are
not permanent and do not add an actual
value TO the real estate. A drain; q well, "a

Having convened as long as the topic
was OF interest. the reporter changed the
subject and brosched the question Of
Presidential politics in which Senator In
gals exhibited great interest. He appeared
to be sanguine Of q Republican victory ne It
year, and while he declined to express his
individual choice, he evidently believes
Sherman is ahead of Grant. He il enlhusi-
astic In praise Of President Hayes conduct
during tine late extra session and fully en-
dorses the vetoes. He gave q very interest
ing resume of the condition Of Kansas poll
tics and made some very plain and pointed
comments upon the conduct Of many of the

voted considerable time to the stolen letters

Labor and Capital in Europe.


1t il generally supposed that there will be
an endeavor, after the annual holiday In
August, to bring the short time movement
under something like regular system. The
cooperation of all will be sought. Even
the masters admit that it would be absurd
to seek a remedy for the depression BY
calling upon the operatives to submit to
further reduction of wages The published
accounts Of the Oldham limited companies
show that hardly any Of them have made
any profit for the last two years, and with
some the adverse balance il 20 heavy that
even with good trade it is almost iupos-
sible for them t. make profit perhsps for
years to come. In limited companies alone

productive for three years. A hundred and
twenty thousand pounds of debt copper

E.ETS iND EIGIRES.

The X ,n-as City papers have been doing
an immense amount OF tall lying about
their circulation, ard We have been trying
hard 10 get them 10 show up
The Kansas City Times of Sunday morn
ing gave a statement Of the amount of
postage it has paid during the last ak
months. II Publishes the certificate of the
postmaster, showing that during that time
it has paid on i.s daily circulation the sum
OF S5l272, or At the rate of 81 OPS "A per
year.
This is a statemen. that we have been
trying TO induce the Kansas City TimCs TO
give to the public, for the last three months.
lt proves that when the Kansas City
Times claims 10 have larger daily circula-
ton than suy other psper in the Missouri
Valley, it claims what is not true.
1t proves that the circulation Of THE
LEAvEswoRTH TINES is more than one
twelfth greater th.n the circula iou Of The
X ansss Civ TINS
Tn. Kansas City TINES uses paper weigh
ing ore hundred pounds to the bundle.
The LeaveBworth TINES uses paper
weighing seventy five pounds TO the bun
die. AZ: as postage is paid b. the pound
he difference IA the weight of the paper
used must be taken Into account, to ascer-
tain the respective numbers of papers is
sued.
The eaveuwor.h Daily TINES is paying
postage at the rate oi SS29 % per year on
paper weighing sevsnty-6ve pounds 10 the
bundle, and the Kansas City Times is pay
ing at The rate of 81. O25.H on paper weigh
ing one hundred pounds.
The same number of papers now Issued
BY US, if printed on paper OF the same
weight a. thst used by the Kansas City
Timfs, would cost for rostsge one-third
more than we are paying at present, or
81, loo 56.
The same number of papers now issued
BY the Kansas City Times, if printed on
paper of the same weight a. that used by
the Leavenwor;h TINES, would Coz, for
postage ope-fourth less than it is paying at
present, or S769 0S.
Thus the figures a. presented by the Kan
sas City Times itself show thst the num5er
OF papers issued by the Leayenworth TINES
is more than one-twelfth greater than the
number issued by the Kansas City Times
10 regard to weekly circulation, the K an
sss City Imes claims to be paying postage
At the rate of 81 $40 so. per snnTu,, bit We
know, as we'll as it knows, that this j. rot

prove what it says We will agree to forfeit
