Osborne Farmer: A much better

year than last. The berry in most cases
is much more plump and heavy.

Wheat harvest began in this county last

week. There viii be a large amount OF
good wheat in this county. Some pieces

but generally the crop is excellent
Downs Osborne county, chief:
Thousands Of acres Of wheat, barley and
rye are now being harvested. Wheat in
most localities is excellent, turning out
from fifteen to thirty bushels to the acre.
Rye is as big a crop all over the north

Smith Center Bulletin: The winter
wheat crop is nearly all harvested in this
county, the yield and quality being far
ahead Of anything that was expected.
Spring wheat promises the best crop We

heard SO much grumbling about the
wheat crop being failure that We had
begun to anticipate passing the winter
on corn bread, but have given up the
idea as harvest passes. Last week Mr..

heard Of in southern Kansas.

The Royal Mail steamer KinsembO,
which has arrived in the Mersery from
the west Of Africa, reports having rescu-
ed at sea, IN an open boat, two men who
had been eight days without food or wa
ter. The boat had originally four Occu-
pants, but two Of them died Of their
sufferings before the Kinsembo fell In
with their boat. When the Kinsembo
was near Old Calabar an object was de-
scribed in the distance. II appeared to
be a canoe, but no occupants were visi-
BILE; but for fear there should be any
body IN the tiny craft Capt. Liversidge
ordered the signal whistle to be blown
to draw their attention. In a moment
or two there slowly rose from the bot
tom Of the boat the form OF a man.
The steamers course was then altered,
and on coming up to the canoe It was
found to contain two natives, one OF the
poor fellows lying helplessly at the bot
tom Of the boat. The two men were
then helped on board, and the steamer
was soon In attendance on them. When
they had sufficiently recovered they told
a pitiful tale Of suffering aud death.
They were fugitives from Princes island,
fleeing from the yoke of their PUrtu
guese masters. They were Kroo- boys,
and had gone to Princes island many
years ago to work on the plantation for
about a year. When their period OF
agreement was up they said they were
not permitted TO leave the Island. They
got clear Of the island, but on the third
day a tornado was encountered, and the
boat filed with water. The men had
then to get out Of the boat to bail the
water. What little stock Of fresh water
they had was spoiled, and some Of the
paddles Of the canoe were also lost.
Day after day passed without bringing
any rescue until the eleventh day Of their
departure from the island They had
then been about eight days without food
and water, excepting some salt water,
which only maid their thirst more In
tense.

The Extremes Or Wet aaa Dry

In the valley Of the Rio Peeos, west
Texas, there are districts where not q sin
gle drop OF rain has fallen since April
1885. The smaller tributaries Of the
river have entirely disappeared, and the
drOuth thus far has cost the settlers
some 3, 600 head Of cattle. In the upper
half Of the Pecos valley a continuous
drouth Of ten months Is not considered
anything abnormal; but this year even
the usually redeeming month Of March
passed without a drop OF rain, and no
relief from the sky, ct least, Is not ex-
Pecbed before February, 1897. The other
extreme is probably the southeast corner
Of Alabama, where EiLty-eight inches
year Is nothing unusual. South America,
however Ia a country Of much greater ex-
tremes. In the loWlands Of Vsnezuela
the yesrly supply varies from $50 to 175
inches while on the coast Of Peru there
are districts where one light shower In
twenty-five years is considered a fair
average.

Although straw Is looked upon ~ al
most valuelcss except as bedding. yet
It requires great amount OF food from
the soil to produce 1t. True, the car
bon is taken from the air, and also re.
turned to 1t when eliminated from tho
constituent elements Of straw. but
that which comes from tho soil
must be again returned to 1t,
or It will suffer loss to that
extent. II we burn one hundred pounds
Of straw we derive from four to five
pounds, or nearly one hundred pounds
Of ash from ton of straw. This ash
contains soda. lime, potash. phosphor-
ic acid, magncsia, sulphur. iron. silica
and chlorine. The nitrogen Is driven
off by combustion. while but very lit
tie carbon remains, which is In state
of combination. Considering the differ
ent kinds Of straw, we find OF potash
about O.i0 per cent. in the straw OF
wheat. and $50 per cent. in the straw
OF the bean. At glance the supposi.
ton would be that rs the proportion OF
potash in wheat straw is much less than
in bean straw, the latter was more val
liable, but the value Of substance does
not depend upon single material, for
wheat straw contains seven times rs
much silica, which, though not so valu-
able, Is returned to the soil in the ash
In more available form for a succeeds
Ing crop. While barley straw contains
larger proportion Of potash than o.:
straw. the latter has more soda. Corn
fodder contains larger proportion OF
potash than pea straw, while bean
straw contains twice as much rs either.
vet the rule has been that beans and
peas should be fortified alike. which
is mistake, the peas preferring larg-
or quantity Of lime than the beans.
All kinds of straw, therefore, differ
from each other in their chemical com.
position. yet the average farmer does
not consider one more valuable than
the other kinds. AS straw possesses
value according to its mineral matter,
il is evident that, whenever 1t Is sold,
or removed from the farm. il carries
