KANSAS CROPS.
Official Report Of the Condition of Crops up to
August A. 1884.

Official Report Of the Condition of Crops up to
August 4, 1884.
Mr.. j. M. Mcfarland, state statisti-
clan for the. United States department
of agriculture has sent the following
report to Hon. Geo. b. Loring, com
missioner of agriculture:
'Untimely rains during the month
of July interfered materially with the
harvesting of wheat, rye and oats. In
some portions of the state these rains
were accompanied by heavy wind and
hail storms, resulting in large loss of
both cut and uncut grain. Heavy and
rank growths were badly lodged, and
were subsequently left uncut. Hot and
sultry weather following these rains
caused rust and blight in both wheat
and oats, and the former estimates of
the yield will be reduced. In some of
the western cOunties-notably Rocks,
Rush, Osborne, Ottawa, Russell and
Ellsworth, the winter wheat area was
too large to be successfully handled
by the farmers. K lack of laborers in
the counties mentioned has caused a
heavy loss, and while average yields
of fields harvested at the proper time
will be exceptionally large, county
averages will be below the estimates Of
one month ago, for the reason stated.
While the weather, generally was
unpropitious for harvesting, it was ex-
ceedidgly favorable to corn. The time
lost in the early portion of the season
has been nearly recovered and
THE CORN PROSPECT
is now equal to that of last year at this
time, when the promise was full
average. The crop of 1888 was injured
by the bad weather of September, and
if that can be escaped this year, large
yield, probably the largest in our his
tors, will be gathered.
Pastures are in excellent condition,
although some complaint is made of
loss in the usual quality of the grass.
Cattle are not fattening as rapidly as
In former seasons, the cause being as
signed in most cases to the unusual
quantity OF rainfall and a consequence
deterioration of the nutritious qualities
of the grass. AS the season advances,
however, the condition of pastures
will improve.
Potatoes, both Irish and Sweet, have
fallen off in condition during the
month. Complaint is made from sew
eral sections that the frequent showers,
followed by excessive hot suns, have
induced "mildew." The extent of
damage from this cause, | think, is
over estimated, but from the reports
of my correspondents l should Judge
that they consider the damages serious.
FRUIT.
The cold weather of the late spring
injured all the fruit trees, especially
apples, and large quantities are falling
from the trees, partly from the treat
ment early in the season and partly
from the stings of insects. The crop
will not in my opinion be more than
90 per cent as compared with an aver
age, although indications now point to
better condition. There will undoubt-
edly be large crop of those varieties
OF grapes that thrive best in Kansas.
The Concord will make more than an
average yield, while some of the more
delicate varieties, such as the Della
ware, will yield but little.
The product of clover hay will be in
excess of that of last year, and the

ReYiYing Fruit Trees.

Mr.. ID. 5. Pratt writes TO the Ameri-
can Institute Farmers Club about the
care of fruit trees as follows: "Remem-
bering Prof. Liebig's theory that when
a vegetable is burned the part which
came from the air in the process of its
growth retorns to the atmosphere, and
the part which came from the ground
is reduced to ashes, came to the con-
clusion that ashes would be beneficial

Twenty or thirty quarts of loose dirt
were removed, leaving large cavity,
shaped like saucer, with the
tree standing in the centre. About
one pint of unbleached ashes was sprin.

manure was placed, nearly filing the
cavity. Another pint of ashes was

gently pressed down, and the hole Gov

"a Planting Corn in Drills.

AT one time it looked as if the plant
ing of Indian corn in drills would be
generally adopted, as it appeared to in
crease for several years but lately,
say within the last five or six years, it
has lost It's growing prominence, aud
farmers are inclining the hill method
again. 1t is not doubted that a little
better yield can be obtained from drill
ing but not enough to pay for the in-
creased labor which it requires. And
this is the drawback, and will always

ton. There are now machines invent
ed 10 place the seed in hills as well az
in drills, which fayors the hill system.
Indian corn is one of the great stapl =
of this country A. food for man and
beast il surpass-s all others combiupd.
Yet, until within the last few years, The
labor bestowed upon itscuIti> alton was
never as thorough as its importance
demanded. Formerly tie care given
it seemed to be grudgrd The soil was
allowed to remain in humps, and the
grass and weeds to smother the young
plants. Now all this has been chang
ed A corn field is cultivated with all
the attention of garden, and the yield
per acre is a third to half greater
than twenty TO thirty years ago.
As TO the corntodder, we have al.
ways thought that not nearly as much
care was bestowed upon it as its value
merited. There is nothing easier IT,

like better through the winter, Ii in

pieces and lightly steamed, and mixed
with little bran or cotton seed, it is a
valuable food.

Utilizing Bone.

Among the waste materials on the
farm there are few, if any, that are
richer in one of the most important ell
cments of plant food than bones, when
made soluble in water. Just how to
do this in the cheapest and at the same
time the best manner, is a question
that is frequently answered by the far
mer, and is so often asked by those
who have no practical knowledge of
the matter, that the farmer is frequent
ly m!sled, and spends so much time to
no purpose, that he becomes discour-
aged and sells the waste bones of the
farm at very low price, or neglects
altogether to pick them up.
The simplest and cheapest way to
reduce bones to make them available
for plant food, is to burn them but
to do this is a great loss of plant food,
as it consumes all of the nitrogen yet
the ashes is very rich in phosphate, be-
ing about 80 per cent 1t also con-
tains 16 per cent. of carbonate of lime,
2 or 3 per cent, of phosphate of mag
nesia, soda, and potash. All of these
substances are indispensable to vegets
BILE growth. The process of burning
bones is so simple that some contend
that when only small quantities are to
be reduced it is the best way, even
though the nitrogen be lost II would
certainly be better to burn them than
to sell them for half cent, or even
cent a pound. 1t is very poor policy
for the farmer to sell the bones from
the farm; in fact, when he can buy at
less than cent pound he had
better buy what he can, though he have
to resort to burning them to make
them available for plant food; but as
this is wasteful process, the ashes
should be resorted to when they can be
readily obtained. In some portions of
the State small establishments have
been erected to steam and grind bones
BY extracting the grease and gelatin
the bones are easily ground; this leaves
in tht bone about ouehalf of the nitro
gen, the other half may be saved by
composing the liquid with dry muck.
Some of the owners of these mills are
willing to steam and grind bones for a
fair consideration. When such mills
can be- found within a reasonable dts
tance, this is the best way to get a
small, or even large lot of bones
worked up INTO plant food -Massa
ctuSetts Ploughman.

What Others Think

What others Think.
The following is an extract from
a letter published in a late number
Of the Inverness (ScOtland) Adrei-
tiser, and written by Mr.. Donald
Macrea, Il prominent and enter
prising mining man:
Good grass land in this Terri
tory is valuable, from the fact that
the climate is mild. Little snow
in winter, and never remains on
the ground more than a day or two,
except on the mountains, where it is
valuable in supplying some little
water during the winter months
where otherwise there would be no
water. In summer the thermo-
meter seldom or never rises as
high as 100 degrees in the shade.
The nights are always cool and
pleasant, and II a sleep under
blankets comfortably in the hottest
weather. Our altitude is about
5000 feet above sea level, conse-
qucntly our atmosphere is pure
and light and always stirring. SO
in the hottest day a person under
the slightest shade will feel cool
and pleasant. The atmosphere
never becomes hot and s~uffocating,
although under the suns rays it is
, more than hot. 1t seems remarka-
bic when comparing the summer
here to that Of Canada, say at Tor
onto, Tor instance, where | often
slept on the verandah to get fresh
air, under a cotton sheet, and
when the mattress seemed hot
enough to scald me, the atmosphere
was so hot and still and oppressive
il seemed a labor to breathe. In
1877, at st. GATHERINGS, on the
south shore of Lake Ontario, oppo.
site Toronto, in the month of July,
we had nearly three weeks when
the thermometer ranged from q
degrees to 10 degrees in the shad,
and on one day reached rs deg
