The rapid and rank growth OF grass, sor.

49, A.RAo ess1 AonA ENOWeo Va BAocss W
ghum cane and corn this season would seem
to Indicate what pursuit was btst to follow io
this section. Grass and fee crops are sure
in any year. The abundance Of grass on the
plains going to waste, as It we're, or furnish
ing food for prairie fire., would suggest the
economy Of utilizing this great waste. 1t
lakes time for all things. In year or two
small focke and herds will Craze over these
waste places, furnishing the owners Of cows
and sheep with the rich pre- duct of the prai-
RE coil in fine butter and milk, and heavy
wool and fat lambs. The entire State Of
Kansas has the mania for stock raising, and
We shall not be surprised in short time to
find grain raising q secondary consideration.
The uncertainties Of the wheat crop, the i'm
mense profits Of stock, gives choice of pur.
suits in the face of the natural advantages
open to all. An abundance of grass and
water at all times certainly points the way
to the settler on the plains The natural ad-
vantages are being rapidly sought, and in q
few years the country will be rich and pros
porous. The rich soil makes rich grass and
the excellent climate tends to the rapid and
tine growth of beef, mutton and WOOL. The
people Of Ford county are making fair
start In stock raising; many of them in a
small way; but the commencement with a
few cows or few head of sheep will coon &C.
cummulate an increase that will be astonish-
ing. and make the settler above want, and
render him independent and happy.
The Russian Mulberry tree is attaining a
foOthold and rapid growth in Reno county.
There are Two varieties, white and black,
which bear the delicious berry in the third
year Of the growth Of the tree. The tree
makes an excellent hedge. and the fruit is
fine feed for elk worms, the raising OF the
silk larve Reno county farmers will devote
some attention to, as they have bearing trees
already. The seed was 6r-t obtained from
the Russian settlers in Mcpherson county,
who have fine groves Of mulberry trees on
their farms. The tree is we'll adapted to this
climate, is good grower and hardy, and We
would advise our settlers to obtain some Of
the steds or plants at the proper season. We
gather this information from J. Ryther, Of
Hutchinson, who is at present building q
s'orehouse for T. F. Leidigh At SpearevilIe.
He informs "a that Hutchinson has fine
shades, and that the people Of the county
are giving good deal Of attention to tree
planting and stock raising.

BosToN, November Dat 1880 a. M. the
Central National Bank stopped paying. At
the bank they don't wish it understood as
a permanent suspension, but temporary
stoppage for the purpose of consultation
among the directors as to the proper course
to pursue. At the clearing house to-day the
Central Bank was compelled to pay $780,
600. and there was great apprehension on
State street this morning until after the
Clearinghouse meeting announcement that
all loans between banks had been promptly
p pot materially hat ad tne rate g,oa 11
allayed the general anxiety. The Central
Bank, which stopped payment at 1870 this
morning, at 1:30 resumed payment and the
resumption of payment by the Central
Bank has inspired a marked feeling of con-
fidence here and it is the generally ex-
pressed opinion that the worst is over.
