There is a goat in Dodge City that has
taken liking to newspapers. He can be
seen on the streets every dav chewing bits
Of paper. A wag gave the goat copy of
each of the Dodge papers and an old
number of the Lakin Herald. The goat
readily deyoured the Lakin Herald. Be-
cause. we guess. the reading is light and
easily digested.

THE MARCH WIND.

- ne MOnLn OF NaTcn IS mere ia AL ueE
glory and wind Do the frst three
days of March indicate any future weather.
We have often heard of some prognostica-
ton on the beginning of March weather
1t is said that if March comes in like a
lion it will 60 out like lamb. The first
three days of the month were mild and
warm. They were tempered to the shorn
lamb. The prOverb1al weather struck us
on Sunday. 1t is pretty safe to predict
that the weather for the month, until the
the close. carrying out the axiom. will be
stormy, and will 90 out like a lion. as the
month came in lamD-like. Virgins windy
blast was set down for the 10th of the
month. The time is almost here. We
believe Virgins windy blast was heaviest
when MIR. Virgins made his direful pres
diction on paper. Virgins could not have
selected better month in which to make
prediction of a storm. March. is the
month when the forces are restored to
an equilibrium preparatory to spring
work. After the March winds the gentle
spring is ushered in. The earth has
undergone heating process and sluggish
winter is ushered out. What wise dis
pensation of natures forces. Those peo>
pie who live where the seasons are de-
fined by quarterly yearly changes are pOs>
sessed of a stronger constitutions and have
longer leases of life. Do the changes of
the weather conduce to hardness and lon
gevity? We hail the spring with great
delight. The hard and cold winter
creates a longing for the pleasant and gent
al warmth Of spring. After the summers
heat the delight of the autumn breeze is
manifested. It is hard winter again, and
the recurring seasons In turn fill US with
admiration of natures greatness. Stern
winter, genial spring. delightful summer
and grand autumn. how they come and
60 in unvarying succession, sometimes
exceeding in either cold or warmth, but
ALWAYS blessed, ALWAYS desired, and a
change of either always wanted. 1t is
the March wind-how it listeth! We long
for the April showers, the May flowers
the genial warmth Of spring.

AGRICULTURE.

HoEINa and the frequent stirring OF
the surface of the soil are good substi-
tutes for rain. Those parts of the gar
don that are most frequently cultivated
show the best results. 1t is probable
that corn, watermelons, tomatoes, Lima
beans, and cabbage, and possibly other
plants, ii well started in good deep soil
may 60 through two-nonths drought
without very serious damage. A deep,
well-mauured SOIL suffers much less than
a shallow soil. Subsoilng and manure
are, to a certain extent, substitutes for
rain. Moisture comes from below,
Understanding is also q safeguard against
drought. The course of the drains il,
the garden can easily be marked in
dry season by the ranker growth OF
vegetation above them. Irrigation III
many parts OF the North will puy. The
soil, ii well prepared, could use to good
advantage twice the quantity of water it
receives from rains during tho dry
months OF summer.
