The Outlook For Wheat.

Some two months ago or more the
Republican sounded the alarm COLI
corning the wheat prospects in the
great grain-growing region ia the West
and especially on the plains of Kansas.
The ravages of the HessIan fly were
shown to be of an alarming character.
And now come seemingly well anthem
ticated reports of considerable damage
by winter killing. These reports pos
sibly are exaggerated. Probably they
are. The granger is proverblv de-
spondent touching his crop prospects,
and it is safe to Conclude that the pres
ent accounts are exaggerated. More
than the usual loss from winter killing
was not anticipated. In fact it was
thought the winter in spite of the ST.
we're freezing was rather favorable to
the wheat plant as there had been an
abundance of snow, aud this warm
covering had remained on the ground
almost continuously. Still it would he
safe to infer that the loss from winter
killing will not prove exceptionally
disastrous. The reports are too oncur-
rent and from too widely spread locali-
ties not to establish the inference that
the damage will be very considerable.
In addition to the loss from the Hessian
fly and from winter-killing, the latter
idI S0iS resulting IuoSI pIofdtby mum
the attack of the former that have
caused the plant to become weak aD'i
diseased even where it Was not killed
outright, is to be taken into account
the fact that to very considerable per
cent. there has been a diminutiou OF
the surface planted to wheat. Unless
there is a marked increase IN tn SOW
ing of spring wheat the product of tie
" heat harvest this seas ~ will very ma
terially diminished. This cannot be
expected in Kansas as the farmers of
that state long since gave up spring
wheat growing owing to the swift de
-truction 10y the chinchbug that fol-
lows. The spring wheat field is
great breeder of this p stiferous and
NAL, dorous little insect, and the ada
cent corn field is sure to suffer from
the burrow he has made in the. wheat
field. Upon the whole we must con-
clude that the yield of wheat from our
Western wheat fields at best will be
considerably less than the product of
either 1888 or 1884. But as to the real
loss that may be expected it is well at
present to suspend judgment, as warm
rains during the next ten days through
out Kansas and Missouri will very ma
terially improve the appearance of our
Western wheat fields.-Repubtican.

'Tis said that Bollinger county will intro

A Fox Leads q Dog to its Death.

AS passenger train on the Roches-

pro ching the viaduct which carries
the road across the Cattaraugus Creek
near Springville, a few days ago, pas
sengers on the right-hand side of the
car saw fox dashing down from the
hills, closely pressed by hound. The
creek flows through a ravine It's feet
deep.
The fox flew over the snow directly
toward tie very high est part of the
precipice on that side of the creek. The
hound was not more than ten feet be-
hind it as the brink of the chasm was
reached, and, as neither fox nor dog
Stacked its pace, the excited passengers
expected to see them both tumble
headlong in the ravine. The fox leap
ed to the very edge of the rocks, and
the dog was but one jump behind it,
when, like flash, the fox turned alb
ruptly out of its course AMI ran along
the edge of the ravine. The dog was
unable to initiate the agility of the fox,
and one more jump brought its fore feet
within foot of the brink 1t saw its
peril and tried to throw itself back, but
Its momentum was too great, and the
next second il Went wlirling down in-
to the ravine, and was dashed t. death
on the ice at the bottom.
The fox stopped on the edge of the
rocks as the dog went over and turned
and looked down at it as it fell, and
continued to gaze at it fer moment
as it lay dead on the lie. The inx then
turned and trntted leisurely back across
country and disappeared in the wouds.
