Friday from Eureka, this state. Mr..
A. drove through bunch of cattle for

has cleanscd Crooked Creek washing
away the dead cattle and sheep.
Every body seems anxious to get in
lots Of grain this spring. A good idea
and one that should be followed up
every year.
No more land in this section to be
taken up. a family on nearly every
quarter section.
We predict for Kansas in the next
five years to be one Of the leading
farming states In the union.
Emigration still on the boom.
County seat matters is on the stand
still in this (Meade) county. We

Fine Brick.

Messrs Mcintyre G. Van Tremp arc
preparing to burn brick. They have
large kilns built. This firm have an
improved brick machine capable of
turning out 20, 600 brick per day, but
they do not use the machine to this ca
pacity. The mode of making and
handling brick is quite, interesting.
After the brick are turned from the
machine they are placed on pellets
and laid on shelves under sheds. Under
this cover they dry slowly, and become
hard with no cracks or warps like brick
dried exposed to the sun. With the
machine brick making has attained a
high state of perfection. 1t is claimed
that machine made brick are harder
and heavier than handmade brick, the
pressure of the machine being greater
than the hand mould. The material is
ground finer and the brick is not
porous The drying sheds of Messrs
McIatyre & Van Tromp hold about
S0,000 brick. They use the best clay
to be found. They will manufacture
this season about 100000. Next year
they will engage in brick making quite
extensively, and will meet all demands
for brick.
