Cost Of Rai.ins:Crops.in Kansas.

Cost OF Raising .CropS1n Kansas.
During the last season the Kansas
State Agricultural College kept an exact
account of the cost Of raising corn, win
ter wheat, oats and millet, and gives the
following IS the result: Corn 22l acres
produced AZ bushels per acre costing
about IA cents per bushel. According
to this statement it costs more to cult
vate an acre of wheat than Ian acre of
corn; Al bushels. of corn at ii cents per
bushel aggregates $6.5S, which repre-
sents thei. cost of ..cultivating an acre of
corn while IL bushels of wheat at cost
Of 81 cents per busllel amounts to 80. 4S,
the total cost of cultivating an acre of
wheat. Oats, 1G acres :yielding 2
bushels per acre, cost % cents per bush
ell, or cost of s4.60 per acre. 1t would
appear from this that it costs just about
double to cultivate an acre of wheat than
it does for an acre of oats.

The following il paragraph from an
address by s. S. Prouty before the State
Horticultural Society in Topeka, and
published in the Kansas Monthly, of
May: "Kansas is truly progressive
State, and its eventful history is one of
which every citizen may we'll feel proud.
1t has not only conspicuous star in the
American constellation, but it has
made its impress upon the affairs of the
world. The prospects of no other SOW
ereignty are brighter. Its influence will
keep pace with the advance of. the ma
ton and increase in proportion to the
development of the resources. Like the
expansion of the waters circle, caused
by the casting therein of the pebble,
will its influence increase on the march
of time. Our history is guaranty that
this influence will be yielded for the
good and happiness Of humanity.

A singular story.

A very singular story is told, at some
length, in a Pennsylvania paper, concerns

ty-two years ago, and settled at Har.

stated, communists, owni 6 everything

economy, and tolerated no idlers. The
money which they rapidly accumulated,

thousand strong, to place christened

Wabash river, in Indiana. But death.
appeared in the shape of malaria, and
after the death of between two and
three hundred, they removed to Beaver
county, Pa, and established the town
of Economy. This was in 1875. Since
that time they have prospered, and it is
believed that if the property which they
now possess were divided, each member
would have at least $l,0OO,O0O. That
property includes Economy township,
$500 acres; the city of Beaver Fall, 700
acres; Tideout, Warren county, 5000
acres of oil territory Git was here that
some of the first oil was discovered
and sold for $l5 per barely 5000 acres
in Michigan; the Darlington coal

the capital stock of the Pittsburgh and
Lake Erie railroad; large tract of
land in Dakota and other property
amounting to millions of dollars. The
exact organization of the community is
unknown. The leading spirits are Jacob

Settle Accounts.

Every business man, and everybody,
for that, ought to settle all outstanding
accounts at the end of the year. Even
if payment in full cannot be made, q
settlement to the 3lst of December
should be effected, by note, and the
books balanced.
Long standing accounts are fruitful
breeders of Misunderstanding, litigation
and bitterness. People forget little facts
connected with accounts, or details of
the terms of contracts, purchases or
agreements, if accounts are allowed to
run along for years. And the result is
disagreement and quarrels that would
never have occurred had a settlement
been effected at the end Of the year.
1t ought to he custom and principle,
with every man, to balance all outstand.
ing accounts at the beginning of the
new year. Effect settlement in some
way, by payment. if possible; by notes
or due bills, if cash payment is impossi
BILE; but close the accounts, by a mutu.
al settlement, at the end of every year.
This is good advice for everybody, and
will save world Of bother, and perhaps
litigation aud resentments.

Empty Cant.

Is there not entirely too much cant
about laws being made to favor the rich
and Cypress the poor? The Eldoradc
Times, speaking of tax paying, says that
the law simply makes it penalty to be
poor, in that it provides for q rebate of
5 per cent. on one-half the taxes, if all
paid at once, and imposes penalty of 5
per cent. upon taxes not paid by De
cember Goth. Does net the Times know
that this is demagogery and canti It
should be ashamed to indulge in such
stuff. Ifsome men are rich, and others
poor, it is the luck of the one and the
misfortune of the other. The law does
not reward the one for being rich, or
punish the other for being poor. It sim
ply offers an inducement to prompt pay
ment Of taxes, and imposes penalty for
non-payment, let it strike HON it may.
Fully as many comparatively poor men
as rich ones pay up all at once. and get
the benefit of the rebate. Many rich
men let their taxes run and incur the
penalty, because they can make more by
the use of their money in other ways
The collection of taxes by sale of real
estate may as we'll be said to be a pen.
atty upon men for being poor. If there
were no forci;.le means of collecting
taxes, precious little would be. paid.
Selling goods cheaper tor cash than on
credit might as we'll be termed a con.
trivance to favor the rich and Cypress
the poor, because the rich can afford to
pay, while the poor must sometimes have
credit. Selling goods at discount by
wholesale is another outrage upon the
poor, because they can afford to buy
OILY at retail, while the rich can buy at
wholesale. This tomfoolery about the
rich and the poor can be applied to every
branch of business. II is simply the !
thinnest kind of bosh.
