very. The Democrats Of the South Wrote
their principles In blood. The Demo
Gratis of the North united with the Souttt
after the rebellion had been crushed
and formed the same party as before up
holding the same platform and supporting
the same candidates for Office. me
Democrats had opposed every advance
measure for the last twenty-five years.
Their monument was raised over false
creeds and failures in craftsmanship,
the putrid carcass of secession, and the
dry bones of State sovereignty. The plat
Orm would have to be referred to the
Supreme Court for a defined constitution.
The letters of acceptance Of the candl-
dates on the Democratic ticket gave no
clue to their views on the living issues
of the day. The Republican party threw
the light of scrutiny upon its principles
and invited inspection. The mOnu-
ment of the Republican party
represented wholesome law, hap
piness, prosperity, intelligence and

stitutiOn, and a preserved Nation. The
Republican party has freed the slaves

that was worth only thirty-elght cents

public debt One-half since 1864, and IN
creased the value of property thirty BILE

Clay Center Times: Monday, D. W.
Lane contributed seven different varie-
ties of apples to the Times collection of
Clay county products. He guarantees
them to be as fine In flavor as can be
grown in the United States, while they
are certainly as line IN appearance. Mr..
Lane says that in 1872, when Kansas
took the premium in Chicago for the best
and finest fruit, he had an idea there was
something wrong about it, but suSse-
quent years have proven that Kansas
can and does equal If not out rank any.
A great State Is our own beautiful Kansas.
x x x We have had double rye. double
wheat, five ears of corn in one husk, ETC..
etc, but now comes D. L. Chapman, of
Blaine township, with two well deYeI-
oped ears Of corn to the stalk. OF course
this is not exceeding strange to the aver
age Kansan, but to the Eastern man who
usually sees two stalks to one ear It is a
revelation. Mr.. Chapman also deposits
with Us a 13-fOOt sunhoWer, though not
big around in proportion. We should

Stockton Neaes: This county had in
1858 acres of oats this year, and they
averaged 80 bushels per acre; making a
total yield Of 81, 355 bushels in the cOun-

from six acres of land, the oats weigh
ing from A to As pounds to the bushel.
Has any one done any better?
Jewell City Republican: Col. Barker
has placed in this Office a fine specimen
of Canadian corn and invites farmers to
examine it. 1t viii produce, he says,
pounds more to the bushel than common
corn, and will fully mature in 80 days
after planting. These early varieties of
ten come handy.
Stockton Nelg8: Rocks county is the
banner wheat county Of the State this
year, as she has more wheat than any
other county in the State, according to
the mum Der of acres soWn. Just think
of our raising 940,732 bushels Of wheat

1.-THE following is anything to Judge
from it is hard to see where the light
peach crop in Kansas is coming in. It is
clipped from the Halstead IlldeDendeRt.
VIM. SpOre handed Us a small branch
from q peach tree so heavily loaded with
fruit as to be a curiosity. The branch
was about three feet in length and con-
tanned seventy peaches; 1t and the lateral
tW1gs. The diameter Of the branch at
its largest point is half an inch.
Clay Center Times: Some dastardly
coward set fire to the stack yard Of Hem
~ Sells, Of Hayes township, recently,
burning up five stacks Of grain, the pro
ceeds Of a whole Summers hard toll.
They have their suspicious who did 1t,
and 1t is hoped that they may be able to
prove 1t, and send the parties to the pen
itendary to labor a few years for the ben
eft Of the State. A man that would take
a cOWardly revenge Of this kind should
be put to death by slow torture.

Trimming Apple Trees.

Those who did not finish trimming their
apples trees before Christmas. have had
but little opportunity to do it since the
rough. cold weather of the last half of
December and most of January, has driv-
en- the orchardist into business that would
keep him warmer than the work of trim
ming trees. Sometimes there are pleas
ant days in February when this work
can be comfortably done; when there
are they should be improved. because
if the work be left until March.
the sap begins to start, so that
when large limb is cut off it is kept so
wet by the running sap that it is difficult
to cover the wound with anything that
will stick. thus leaving it exposed to the
changes of the weather until the leaves
begin 70 open; then it could be covered.
but as a rule If not done when the limb is
cut off. it is neglected until decay COM
mences. when it is too late to prevent Sc
rious injury.
While it is no doubt best to cut of all
large limbs from fruit trees at season
when the sap will not flow from the
wound. there is no doubt that tree can
be trimmed at any season. without serious
injury, if particular efforts be made to
cover the wound with some waterproof
material. As soon as the season ar
rives when il can be made to adhere to
the wood. 1t would be better to trim
at the most untsvorable season. if good
care be taken to cover the large wounds,
than to trim at the most favorable season
and neglect to protect the wounds made
BY cutting off large limbs.

Lice rarely injure cattle very much dur
ing the simmer season. while they are
running in the pastures. The hair is then
short, and it gets frequent washing by
the summer showers, all of which helps
to keep lice from increasing much. even
though there may be a few left upon some
portion OF the body. 1t is not improbable
that the eggs or nits Of lice may live
several weeks or months in the rubbish
Of stable. At any rate, lice are very apt
10 increase rapidly in herd of cattle kept
in stables after the days begin to grow
warm in sprIng.
And it agrees with our experience that
the lice always increase fastest on the
youngest animals of the herd. 1t is time
now to look the herds over for lice, and
to use some means for destroying them
For this purpose, we have repeadly re-
commended the use of some kind OF soap.
Some farmers go over their herds every
spring and fall. and give each animal a
thorough washing in pretty strong suds.
being careful TO rub it in clear to the skin.
and wettIng every hair on the body. The
work should be done on a mild, sunny
day, when the hair will have chance TO
dry quickly, before the animal will have
time to get chilled and take cold.
Mr. Il. A. Gilbert, in a recent issue OF
the Maine Farmer, recommends in cold
weather to wash only one side of an ami
mol at a time, throwing over blanket to
keep up the heat while the hair is drying.
Unless in case OF excessive cold, we would
make thorough work the first time, but
would rub vigorously. until the hair be-
comes nearly dry. A second washing
should be given after ten days or two
weeks, tor killing the lice which may
have hatched after the first washing. for
the soap will not destroy the eggs. We
would never recommend the use of mer
curial ointments or other poisons for this
purpose. tor they are dangerous to use.
and are entirely unnecessary. After clear
ing the vermin from the bodies of the ami
mails it would be well to sweep the sta
bles very clean. 10 remove any eggs the
broom might find. Lice are very unpro-
fiiable boarders to keep, and they should
be discharged as soon as possible. An
animal never thrives that has many lice
upon its body. There is no need of hav
ing any if they are attended to in time.
