WINTER WHEAT.

The Topeka Commonwealth has collected
a number OF reports OF the prospects Of the
crop of winter wheat in Kansas. Barton
county is the banner county in this region.
We select the following report from ID. n.
Heller:
The wheat crop iD this portion OF the Ar
kansas valley is secure beyond doubt, snd
gives promise OF large yield and success
ml crop. The recent rains and warm
weathe, have pat it in fine growing condi-
ton, ard late sown felds that sppeared TO
be injured before are coming out all right
have lived here ten years. and have rev,r
seen a finer prospect AT tbs season OF the
year. The warm weather, a strong current
Of moisture and clouds from the gulf, which
accumulate into showers of rain, End We
confidently expect very successful season
for kansss.
The Ohsrie correspondent writes:
Since warm weather sci in wheat ia show

Wheat sown between September 9th and
goth is looking the bert OIF pro-pec's
were never better at this season, and If the
prese Mt Indications OF rain within day or
two are fulfilled. our wheat p aspects are
excellent. Farmers feel encouraged, and
large area of Spring crops is being planted.
TIE Rice county correspondent says:
In regard to the condition of the wheat
crop OF Rice county / have 10 say find, by
careful investigation, alter examining ffy
fields, that about one-iifteenth of the fall
crop OF Rice county is winter killed, caused
by not being drilled in ueep enough in some
cases, and Others on very sandy ground frost
froze the roots. Some little Mediterranean
planted is all killed. About one-fourih Of
the crop of Walker wheat, of which there
were about 100 acres in the county, is dead.
The Turkey wheat, furnished the farmers
by the railroad compsny, Is No. l; also the
old standby, Red Msy, ia all good and in
prime condition. We had very heavy
rain Sunday last. Ii rained fer five hours
quite hard, and evers farmer feels ihst he Ia
worth thousand dollars more than he was
before the rain. Spring wheat il just CON-
ing up, and the rsin OF Sunday makes the
fields look quite green. Rice county e1-
poets to harvest big crop next July.
The reports generally show good condi-
tion Of wheat in Kansas.

THE PRAIRIE DOG.

The Fort Worth Live Stock Journal has
taken up the question OF exterminating the
prairie dog. 1t says:
A Tip over the west has convinced us that
the prairie dog il no joke, but a serious
menace to the grazing fields of this portion,
at least, of the State. In the vicinity OF
large dog towns the ground is as destitute OF
vegetation as the streets of our cities are, and
the number Of large dog towns, as well as OF
The dogs themselves, has been and still ia 20
rapidly increasing, that they have grown 10
be a -eritable danger to the grazing inter-
ests. The "Besters" of the west have more
to contend with in the prairie dog than ia
the caitlemep, and the stockman has more
10 fear from the prairie deg than from the
'nesier"-for while the latter may try to
convert grazing district into farm, fail
ure will teach him bitter lesson that will
drive him back; but the pfairie dog cleans
the country about him and converts a range
in barren waste-pnfi for anything
This is mater deserving consideration,
and one that requires united effort, and
siockmen should debate plans and agree
upon some mode OF action that promises
general and spe dy externlinalion of the
pest. United action alone can accomplish
this result, and il stockmen will inaugurate
the war, The STATE may be persuaded to aid
10 the destruction OF the dogs.

The Caldwell papers and the Cheyenne
Transporter complain that nearly all the
freight and government stores destined for
the various forts in the Indian Territory
have accumulated at Caldwell, and that it lie
impossible to procure freighters. This stag
nation in the freighting business seems TO
have been caused by the fact that during
the fall and winter many farmers engaged
in freighting. aud. by competition, 40 re-
duced the price that many regular roadmen
quit the busine-s. The farmers have re-
turned to their plows, the old freighters are
probably employed, and the merchants
goods are lying at Caldwell. "Cu's" seldom
pay any party concerned.

Softly through the night air stealing
Strains of music most divine,
strains that woke the tenderest feeling,
AS they touch this heart Of mine.
Not n love song low and thrilling,
Borne on summer winds 10 me,
Nor an anthem pealing, filling,
Earth and heaven with melody.
But with reverence calm and holy,
while above the storm clouds roll,
Sounds a sweet voice singing slowly
Jesus lover Of my SOUL"
And while love and praise are blending
This is all my humble cry,
With the singers voice ascending,
"Let me TO thy bosom n.y."
When the storms around me thicken .
when all earthly friends are fled,
When despised, and poor, forsaken,

Though the hosts of SIN may rally,
Death for me shall have no sting,
