NO FLIES ON HER HORSE.

A fancy-looking horse was pulling 6
fancy cart and a young man up Cas-
avenue towards the driving park the
other morning when milk wagon
driven by a woman turned in from Can.
field avenue, and there was slight col.
lision.
You ought to be prosecuted for driv'
ing such an old rig around" exclaimed
the young man.
''And you ought to be in bed instead
of firing out that horse with your dude
cart" she shouted
You'd better learn how to driver
"And if can't beat you I'll 90 out Of
the milk business"
Its wonder your old beast doesn' t
drop dead on you!' growled the young
man as he looked her vehicle over.
"Drop dead"' she shrieked-"why
ne's the better of yours
''Humph''
Eyes, he is! If l can't go in on the
track with this wagon and beat you a
mile I'll lose ten dollars!'
Have you got the money?'
Here it is, a good ten-dollar BILL and
you shall put up the samer'
He told her to come on, and ten
minutes later she had the cans out of
her wagon and the money was up
Several horsemen were on the track,
and they saw fair score and a fair
start The dude got the pole. but he
lost in the first quarter, and when the
milk-wagon rolled under the wire the
dandy cart had been distanced.

chuckled the woman rs she pocketed
the stakes. ''Now, then, is there any
one else who wants some of this kind of
milk-five or ten dollars worth-single
mile or two out of three"
Nobody wanted any, and she drove

this truth is once fully recognized It
will not be long till Kansas has su-
gar mill in every county, and then we
can have a market right at home for
all the sorghum we can raise. For the
present season, however, those of our
readers who are not close enough to Fl.
Scott to avail themselves of that mar
ket, would find it profitable to raise il
for syrup and as feed for stock. So fal
as We have observed, the people of thii
county have not made much use Of
sorghum cane as feed, but in the west.
ern counties it is very largely grown
for that purpose and is much praised
by stockmen. The manner of raising
it we believe, is to SOW it pretty thick.
ly, then cut it green and cure it like
hay. 1t is stacked with straw, alter
nate layers of each. This serves the
double purpose of keeping the cane
from spelling, and giving flavor to
the straw that makes it much more &C.
ceptable to stock. Stockmen say that
cattle will eat every straw and stalk OF
such stack and keep fat on it.
These suggestions may be superflu.
GUS and may not be founded in wis.
dom. 1t is pretty certain, however
that they will do no harm and they
may do some good.

SOME AGRICULTURAL SUGGESTIONS.

In spite of the snow and storms it
cannot be very long now until spring.
and farmers are doubtless beginning to
lay out their spring work. At this
early date before anything is done, the
REGISTER would like to give few
reasons why it is of the opinion that it
will pay farmers to give good deal OF
their time and land this summer to
broom corn and sorghum.
First, as to broom corn. The price of
that article is higher now than it has
been for years. 1t is quoted in Chica-
go at $500 a ton and the prospect is that
the price will reach $500 ton and the
supply be entirely exhausted before the
new crop is in. Such being the case
the broom corn that is raised this year
cannot fail of bringing good price, for
it will::go upon an eager market. Mr..
J. T.. Woodin, who has raised broom
corn and manufactured brooms for
thirty years, says that he hiss never
known one good crop, following fail
ure, to glut the market. When the
price is exhorbitantly high one year, 1t
will be good the next year no matter
how much is raised. That Mr.. Wood
in is not alone in this observation il
shown by the fact that large broom
manufacturers are now making con-
tracts for corn to be delivered this fall
at good prices. As noted last week
Mr.. Perry, of our own town, proposes
to contract the crop of 600 or 700 acres
at prices that will pay if there is any
kind OF yield. Mr.. Perry is q per-
fectly reliable man and will abide by
any contract he makes.
Now as to the sorghum. During the
summer there will be built at Fort
Scott q sorghum sugar mill, at a cost
of over 100000. There lie already such
q mill at Ottawa which produced last
year 6Q0, 900 pounds of sugar, besides
several thousand gallons ofsyrup. The
man who is putting up the Fort Scott
mill is the same man who organized
the Ottawa company, and the fact that
he is willing to risk Sl00, 600 proves
conciusiyely that there is no longer
any doubt that sugar can be prolitably
manufactured from sorghum. When

would not publish the program Of the
teachers' association was because the
county superintendent did not sub
scribe for the Interstate and that few
teachers payed for 1t. Well now that
is very easily accounted for. Teachers
as q class have some education, and al
% SOME common sense, and are fond of
good reading. When they feel like
reading such literature as is found In
the Inter- State, they can go to drug
store, and get a supply Of -almanacs,
which contain as much sound reading
and great deal more fun than the
Interstate and does not cost anything.

NOTES FROM THE NORTH.

PEwANKEE, WIS.,, Jan. %, 1856.
Thinking the friends at home might
be willing to read few lines from me.
I hastily write. Perhaps it makes you
shiver to look at the post-mark, but do
not feel too badly for it is scarcely be-
low freezing now and out door exercise
is very comfortable and exhilarating.
The snow is about twenty inches deep,
and the narrow paths and well beaten
roads remind me of former years spent
in the forests of northern Michigan.
It becoming necessary in the course OF
my official duties to visit these north
western states at this time, left lola
on the 18th of January and passed
quickly through Fort Scott and Soda
liza to DesMoines, Iowa, where I found
the horticultural society of that state
in session. One of the prominent OBJ
jects that met my eyes as approached
this city, was the great buildings and
lofty chimneys of one of the largest
distilleries in the United States. They
were pouring into the frosty air huge
volumes Of smoke and steam, that
caused the sad reflection, that here in
this goodly land was being made the
liquid fuel that consumes the people of
our country, body mind and soul. But
the people of Iowa are not asleep, for
while was in the city there was held
a lively state temperance convention.
But my prime object was to meet
with the horticulturalists of Iowa, and
I was most heartily and kindly re-
ceived by them. After over three days
of attendance upon their meetings
which were replete with experience
and argument. I parted their company
to make my way yet farther north.
Let me gay that Notwithstanding the
severe losses and discouragements, re-
sulting from last winters severity,
they can yet boast of much good fruit
in Iowa. The Russian apples were a
prolific source of argument and it is
far from true, that all the Intelligent
fruit men of Iowa are even hopeful o
their being the means of escape from
the ill effects of the climate. They are
too poor in quality, too early in season
and not much more hardy than our
old varieties. Small fruits seem to be
very successfully grown all over the
state.
But I must tell you of my journey.
The mercury stood at 16 degrees below
zero when 1 took the train for Wiscon-
sin, with keen wind drifting the
snow, and all roads out of DesMoines
were blockaded except the Rock Island
r,ute. We went out with double
header" 1.-TWO engines to the train) and
1 took the precaution to provide a
good lot of lunch before starting, upon
which to draw in case we stuck in
some snow bank, but we got along nice
ly and made tolerably good time. The
and creaking of the wheels
upon the snowy frozen rails made mu-
sic all the night. 1 slept by scat maps"
in my berth in the Pullman car
mount Hood" whose windows were
double and inside there was no sense
of the stinging air without. l awoke
just after daylight, as We were crossing
the Mississippi, and easily recognized
the time worn foundations of Rock
Island as the train passed over it to the
shores of Illinois. H. f. VANDEMAN.

New Uses of Asbestos.

The use of asbestos is now becoming
an important adjunct in those processes
connected with dying and printing cot
ton cloth, in which the fabric is hunein
loops from parallel rods, for the pur-
pose of exposure to steam, air or m
monia. In order that the cloth shall
hold upon the rods without slipping or
being strained, 1t is necessary to wind
rope or strips of cloth around the rods,
but this only mitigates the difficulty,
without accomplishing its removal, for
the heat and corrosive action of the va
pors rot any covering in a few weeks,
the first indication Of deterioration be-
ing, generally, the appearance of small
pieces of roll covering among the cloth
in process of finishing. Recently asbes-
tos rope and cloth have been used for
this purposd. and prove very durable.
Larger ropes of this refractory mater ial
have also been used for the transmission
