Our esteemed friend of the Inder
really took it to heart because the
MONITOR said that the IpdeG ridicul-
ed both the prohibatory laws of the
state and those who supported them.
He denies. We appeal to the PIess
and to the readers of the index, if az
ticles calculated to bring the law into
contempt have not appeared in that
paper ever since Mr.. Harris bought it ;
and further if other articles have not
appeared which seemed to favor a
license law. Our remark that Mr..
Harris ''prcferred to get his at an
open bar was entirely playful, and
we regret the wounding of the feel
ings OF our very ahstcmious friend.
Now then, Bro. Harris, let it be I'M
derstood where the IndeG does stand
Oh the temperance question. If il
favors a license law let it speak out,
but do not oppose the present laws
and the temperance people who be
lieVe in them by exultingly paradins
the reports of the failure of the Law

1t is earnestly to be hoped that
Congress will at its present session
enact law for the settlement of the
question of the presidential success
sion. The matter came up in the
Senate, last week, in the discussion
over the changes in the rules of that
body, and proposition was made to
give the president pro tempore the
right 10 name Senator to perform
the duties of the chair for a period
not exceeding three days. The OBJ
lection was raised that, in case of the
death of the president of the United
States, when the absence of the vice
president would make the president
pro TEN of the Senate bis successor,
it might be questioned whether the
Office should 90 to the Senator who
had been elected presiding officer, OF
to the substitute whom he had APP
pointed during his temporary absence
Mr.. Edmunds insisted that there
could be no doubt that the president
pro tenn retained all his prerogatives
during such absence. but the Senate,
after considerable debate, decided t.
leave no room for dispute, and reject.
ed the proposition to give him tht
appointing power. In his recen
message President Arthur made al
appeal for the passage of law regu

LETTER FROM KANSAS.


Kansas is in prosperous condi-
ton. The crops the past two years
have been heavy. This is especially
true of the wheat and corn crop.
Some wheat farms have more than
paid for themselves in two years.
One man here bought 100 acres,
60 in wheat, and raised an average
of 80 bushels to the acre and sold
the same to realize $3.50. He had
also forty acres of corn which he is
feeding to hogs, and will realize a
large sum from this, enough doubt
less to pay his expenses. What we
call mixed farming pays best. This,
of course, is the raising of corn,
wheat, pork, beef, etc.
Corn is now selling at % cents a
bushel, but it pays better to feed it
to hogs than to sell the corn. To
make hog and cattle feeding special
ly profitable, yards, pastures, and
advantages for economical feeding
are required.
The farmer should keep both cat
tie and hogs, the former to eat thC
crop and the latter to eat the waste
We have feed troughs II to 16 fee
long, 3 feet wide and 21a to 3 fee
high, and 6 inches deep. The corr
on the cob, shelled corn, or otheI
feed is put into these for the cattle
Some feed unhusked corn; this the
cattle waste considerably, but The

hogs fatten on the waste faster
Than on claar corn

hogs fatten on the waste faster
than on clear corn.
What is called full feed for cattle
is all the corn they will consume.
Fhey need with this feed some hay,
straw, or corn fodder, but often get
very little of either. The way we
feed here would surprise Vermont
er, and he would wonder where the
profit was to come in. | have seen
a hundred three-yearolds fed while
on green corn to get them used to
the feed and then turned loose into
an 80 acre corn field. At first they
were driven out after an hours feed
ing, afterwards left to eat all they
could hold. A large drove of hogs
are turned in to eat up what cattle
break down. In this way there was
no great waste.
I see by the MONITOR that Herbert
ellis is home from Dakota to es-
cape the rigors of hard winter. To
those who have formerly spent their
winters in Greensboro that seems
little ironlcal. We remember to
have seen statement IN your paper
last year to the effect that you had
enjoyed one hundred and forty days
of sleighing last winter, and one year
we have in mind when there was 1872
days in Greensboro, except that the
amount of snow made sleighing i'm
| possible some of the time.
But a word for Kansas. We rare
ly have sufficient snow here for de-
cent sleigh ride, and | never saw but
two or three sleds or sleighs here,
The winters are cool, dry and pleas
ant. We have had but one rainy
night since October. 1t freezes a
little nights but thaws out days. We
had three days rain in October and
winter wheat got a good start, and
the promise for good crop next
year is fattering. Stock of all kinds
is doing we'll this fine weather, and
the farmers are harvesting their corn !;
some have their crops all in. 1t may
the corn is allowed to stand uncut as
long as is necessary; the ears turn
down, the husks make a protection
from rain and the corn cures in the
fields. Merry Christmas and good
wishes to all. d. G. JoLCEYN.
