Wheat harvest is in progress all oyer the
Southern half Of Kansas. 1t is generally
predicted that the average yield per acre
will be 20 bu. or more. At this rate tn,
grand total Tor the State will he at leas
10000, 900 bu. The Kansas Farmer, be-
coming enihused oyer the outlook, indulge
in the following bewlldering array o
arithmetical calculations:
Let us see about the movement OF so larg,
a crop. 400 bushels is large load for one
freight car. At that rate it would require
100 900 cars to haul our wheat crop. Allow
ing 20 cars TO the train, we should hav,
5000 trains, aud giving TO each train one
half mile on the track the procession would
be $500 miles long. Putting the carr
together in solid train, and move them BY
an overshot water wheel driven by Niagara
we would have $50 feet space to the car
56S miles of solid train, or nearly half way
from Topeka to New York City.
Forty million bushels of wheat at rs cent,
per bushel would amount to 10000 900
That, at S25 900 per mile would build ! I,
200 miles of railroad; at $25 per acre, il
would pay for 10000 one hundred acre
farms. 1t would be equal to $50 apiece fol
100000 persons-a little less than the
population of Kansas. 1t would pay for II
school houses at 81 900 apiece, court house
at $40 600, churches at $4,000 each, and
20 bridges at $500 apiece in every one o
the 81 organized counties Of the State, and
there would be money enough left to buy
for each Of the 200 900 families in the State
one sewing machine at $25, one Jersey COW
at $5O,and one psrlor organ at S6O.-Prairi,

SUMNER CARR OF BuLBs. &C. Z. II. Ri.h-
mond, Ind. After hyacinths and tulips
have done blooming and the tops die of, the
bulbs should be dug up, thoroughly dried
aud put away in a dry place until autumn.
A paper bag hung out Of the reach Of rats
and mice is receptacle for them. When
erocuses thisis not necessary but they should
be lifted and reset in autumn every second
or third year. Unlike other liliaceous
plants, the erocus forms its new bulb every
spring directly above the old one. This
brings il about an inch nearer the surface
each year. Lilies should not be disturbed
except 10 divide them when the clumps
become to large, when il is better to disturb
as little as possible the bulbs which remain.

FARMERS' COLUMN.
The Family Cow in Midsummer.

On farms where the dairy is an impor.
tanl part Of the husbandrY, provisions is
made by sowing soiling crops, to supple
inent the diminished pasturage in midsum-
mer. Those who keep only the "iamily
cow" or at most, two or three cows, fnd
the flow of milk to decrease, and often
without any green crop provided for keep
ing ii up. The territory Of those who keep
but single COW is often restricted to a
small pasture ana a vegetable garden. The
garden should be made to supplement the
pasture, and this may be done to some ex.
tent by securing for the COW much from the
garden that generally goes TO waste. Every
one who has a garden tries to have an
abundance Of green peas. After the vines
haye yielded their last profitable picking,
instead Of allowing them to remain upon
the ground until that is wanted foT another
crop, feed the vines TO the COW while they
are still green and succulent. So with sweet
corn. When the last ear is plucked from
stalk or hill, do not wait till the whole
patch or row can be cleared, but pull up
the stalks that have been deprived of ears,
a few at time, and feed them while in
their best condition. The outer leaves of
early cabbages, and the leaves of baets. car
rots and turnps, carefully saved, will make
the COW. If there is a space in the garden
from which an early crop has been remov-
ed, and il is not needed for late garden
crop, it should be growing something for
the cow. Sweet corn may be sown thickly
in rows, for fodder corn" and afford well
come feed. II is well to have an abundance
Of cabbage plants Of large late variety,
and set them out wherever there IS room,
and far beyond the needs of the family.
Ar occasional cabbage next winter will be
a treat TO the COW. Experiments made
dozen years ago with some twenty varieties
of the Southern Cow Pea showed, inciden-
tally, that even at the North, if they did
not ripen their seeds, they would give an
enormous weight Of heritage upon a small
area. This pea is highly valued for animals
at the South, both fresh as hay, and seems
to oe worth trying IN Northern localities Os
a soiling plant. Where there is room, or
even a few square yards, it may be well to
SOW either Hungarian grass, or one Of the
plants called Milet, Tor late summer feed
for the cow. If the soil is rich an abundant
crop may be cut. Besides summer feed in
the garden, if there is room there or else
where, il Is well to think Of Jerusalem
Artichokes as a winter treat. II is late now
Tor large crop, but with the tops, which
are highly relished, the tubers, being crisp.
succulent and highly nutritious, will b.
most acceptable as an addition to dry fod-
der. When one once fairly undertakes to
produce the greatest possible amount OF COW
food from small area of land, he will be
surprised at the results which he obtains,
especially those seen in the milk pail.-Am.

HI. HI. NEVENS & co.
Wholesale Dealers in Spices, Coffee
Cream Tartar, Extracts. Etc.

Probably few things that enter into daily con-
sumption as articles of food are SO hard to obtain of
purity and quality as are spices, ~cotfees, cream tar
tar, etc. 1t is only, therefore, by the exercise of
great care in purchasing, either by the consumer or
retailer, that quality can be assured. There are, in
all cities, manufacturers whose reputation for max
ing and selling only pure and superior articles is
well known, while at the same time there is another
class equally well known for dealing in articles of
the opposite quality. Among the best known of
the first class no concern in New England bears a
better reputation than H. III. Nevens & Co., of No.
1898 Fore Street, whose eighteen years of exper-
fence in the business has given them a knowledge
of its details possessed by but few others.
They are manufacturers and wholesale dealers in
c~otfees, mustard, spices of all kinds, cream tartar.
and kindred articles,-their goods in these lines be-
ing widely noted for their freshness, purity and low
prices, and customers have the entire satisfaction
Of knowing that nothing inferior or adulterated will
be foisted upon them. This is the principle upon
which they conduct their business, and as they pos
sess unusual facilities for producing these articles,
and are content with a reasonable profit, customers
may rest assured that they cannot obtain goods of
this description at lower figures elsewhere In con
nection with the above they have also added the
manufacture of extracts, which department is un-
der the superintendent of q. r. Harrington, whose
extended experience of many years well qualities
him for the position.
We would earnestly urge all prudent retailers who
desire to furnish their customers with satisfactory
goods in these lines, at prices as low as unsatisfacto-
ry ones may be obtained. to patronize this firm. 1t
will be for their advantage to do 80, as the goods of
fered are of the very best and purest description.

E. D. P%ETTENGILL & co.
anufacturers of Pickles. Vinegar. Etc.

The length of time that the above well known
house has been before the public renders comment
upon its affairs an almost superiuous work, and
yet our purpose to present a complete picture of the
commercial Importance of Portland requires US to
speak of such an establishment as that of Messrs.
E. d. Pettengill g. Co., in more than a passing man.
ner.
The great trade in pickles and vinegar has made
their production and sale avery important industry
and Messrs. Pettengin & Co. stand among tue lead.
ing representatives of the trade in this section of
the country. The present good name borne by thi:
firm, is based upon their strict adherence to the be-
lief that satisfactory goods would make their own
market, and sell themselves on their merit.
1t has, therefore, been the policy of the house tC
offer their goods without Misrepresentation, believ-
ing that as customers recognized the fact they
could hold the trade to the use of frst-class goods.
That such has been the case is evidenced by the
widely extended business which the firm now con-
troll, and which is constantly increasing.
When compared with the present extent of til
operations, the inception of this house appears al
most Insignificant. 1t was founded some years ago,
and from beginning in a very small way it has. by
the exercise of perseverance,, industry, enterprise
gratifying success.

Jacob Mcclellan, when a boy, witnessed the
arrival in our harbor of the steamer Kennebec
was the schoolhouse described in MIR. Elwell's
"Boys of Thirty-fve" as "a long disused
school.room in which one OF the masters had
taught" The room was in the second story OF
the bnilding, the lower story being occupied
as q carpenters shop. 1t was approached by a
high flight of outside stairs, on the rear of the
building, reaching up to the second story.
This gave the landing at the head of the stairs
a wide outlook over the apple trees in Chad
wick's orchard, towards the harbor, and en-
abled the school-boys to have a good view 0,
the arriving steamboat. In "The Boys Of
Thirty-hve," relating to a later period, when
the school.room had been long disused, We
read: ''The boys used to climb the long fight
of stairs, which made a sharp turn above the
first story, and from the upper landing peer in
at the windows. Once we got possession of
the key, and entering, ran riot ever the desert
ed benches. On one Of these were the initials

More B~ursIaries.

During the storm and darkness Tuesday
night burglars passed through the narrow pas
sage-way leading from Exchange street to the
rear of Hoyt, Fogg & Donham's store, located
on Middle street. There they pried up a back
window with a chisel, entered the store, took
the contents of the money drawer-some 800
and q quantity Of postage stamps-and then
proceeded to the front of the store, where
there is a large glass showcase filled with
gold pens and pencils, from L. A. Fairchild &
Co. The trays containing the pens were car
ried to the back of the store, where the
burglars sat down on the back stairs and
selected the best ones, and then retired the
way they came. In all they secured about
$3.50, in money and goods.
During the night the barn, attached to Mr..
e. A. Norton's unoccupied house on State
street, was also entered, and a trunk filled
with valuable goods, which had been stored
there by a lady now in Europe, was broken
into and the goods stolen.
A sloop belonging to Horace Sargent, lying
at Long Wharf, was broken into and the hal
lizards taken.
