EARLY SPRING.

1t seems strange to the ears of our eastern
friends to talk of planting and sowing, at a season
of the year which with them is md-winter. Yet
in Ford county on the 18th of February, this year,
a very large acreage of spring blowing had been
done, and very many farmers had sown oats: a few
had even planted corn. This is no unusual occur
renee, but is the regular course of the seasons
each year. We are of the opinion that nothing is
gained by putting seed in the ground here before
March; but as thisis only opinion, we may be
wrong. But it certainly is advantage to have
the ground plowed early. and very much of an adj
vantage to have our long spring weather which
enables the farmer to take ample time to prepare
his ground thoroughly, and does not compel him
to crowd the hardest work of the year into few
Northwest and East 1t means great reduction
in the amount of hard work farmer is compelled
to perform. 1t enables him to put in much larg-
er crops with the same teams and help, and it
means much longer season in which to mature
his crops.
advantages of long mild fall weather in which to
cure and gather his crops. Cold weather does not
come on before the middle November, and winter
(or what we call winter in Kansas) does not begin
until month later; and there is not a winter
month when farmers cannot and do not pillow their
land for spring crops. Six weeks, or two months
at most, is all We in Ford county have of what we
call winter, and even then man does not need an
over coat more than one quarter of the time.

BILLIARDS. AND CYCLONES.

The Kansas editor who applies the above terms
to the storms of snow and wind which occur in
Kansas, should be driven from the state. Moth
ing has done more to create an erroneous impress
ion of Kansas in the east than the mss-use of
these words, and the constant of them-the
recklessness with which they are applied to our
almost insignificant snow storms and gales of
wind, is entirely ineXcusable. But so long the
papers of Kansas use them upon the slightest
pretext, it is not to be wondered at that papers in
the east accept them true.
AS matter of fact, have never had
anything approaching cyclone in Western Kan
sas, and compared with what is called blizzard
in the north, do not know what it means.
We have many windy days in Kansas, it is true,
some that are disagreeably So and we will con-
tnuc to have them until farmers grow hedges and
groves to act wind breaks. A good six
year old hedge will keep any Cyclone which we
have ever had in Western Kansas Off a 100 acre
farm Until our farmers grow hedges and groves
they must expect cyclone about once in ten
days on an average. 1t will not do any damage,
but it is not comfortable, and particularly uncom-
Portable for stock This is the truth and the
whole truth of the cyclone bugbear.
The blizzard is little more serious matter. 1t
does get cold: and then stock which is wholly I'M
protected does sometimes freeze to death. 4 five
foot sod wall, even without roof of any kind
will protect cattle in any 'blizzard'' have ever
had in Kansas, except where cattle are held in
large herds then they crowd and trample each
other to death. The commOnest kind of a shed,
open at one end and matched with straw, is am
pie protection against all storms, and the Kansas
farmer who is too lazy and inhuman to provide
such shelter for his stock, deserves to lose all he
has The stormy winter days in Central New
York, when man cannot bundle up and COM
fortably pursue OutdOor-work occupations, are ten
times numerous as in Kansas, and no one ever
heard of blizzard in New York. 1t is simply
missuse of the word The honest fact is, South
western Kansas does not have either billiards or
cyclones.

Kansas stands in the front as sheep
and wool-growing state. No other coun
try in the world surpasses it for its sheep
pastures and its favorable climatef or rear
ing flocks and producing wool, and there
are but few, and these only narrow and
contracted localities in various parts of
of the world, such as the noted clowns"
of England, which equal the plains of
Central and Western Kansas in this re-
spect.-New York Times.

In presenting the descriptions of these few
pieces of property for publication, desire to say
that we have selected only those which from their
position other attractive features would seem to
be best suited to our eastern purchasers. And
while we could add many more desirable farms in
this and surrounding countless we beg to call at
tention to the fact that we have many correspon-
dents in the east and north and hold the agency
of many fine tracts of land in Missouri, Arkansas,
Nebraska, Texas and Colorado. We desire to call
attention to fine tract of land in Colorado, for
which we hold the local agency, that of the San
Luis Park, which contains in all about five thou
sand square miles and is situated at an elevation
of seven thousand feet above the level, which
elevation insures alightand hcalthful atmosphere,
cool in summer and mild in winter. OF the beau
tiful scenery surrounding San Louis Park, too
much cannot be said. The rugged and brok-
en- mountain chains completely surrounding this
elevated basin, form scenery which for magnif =
cence and grandeur unsurpassed in the world.
During the early spring excursions will be run in
to this Park, concerning which full particulars
will be furnished to time and rates upon appli-
cation to us. Ample time will be given to tour
lists hunting parties and land seekers to enjoy the
scenery, develope their muscle and lay ont some
good investments.

OUR CITY

Democrats of the City Of Wheeling will
have hard work to win the fruits their
popular mejorlty entities thsm to. The
Republicans in control Of Council have
scruplei at nothing to defeat the popular
will at the next city election.
Only hard, incsssaut work from row till
the day Of the election will enable the
voice OF the majority of our citizens and
taxpayers to be heard.
The latest revolutionary trick Of gerry
manding the city 20 to deprive the Dem
ocrats Of three representatives in Council
is part and parcel Of the Republican cam
paign, city, State and National, and it
should be rebuked in most emphatic terms
by the people, regardless Of party, at the
polls. Partisanism is . bad thing in the
government Of a city. The people should,
and generally do, vote to conduct their
city affAirs a. they conduct their private
business. No business man would think
for 3 moment of hiring, or diseharging, .
clerk on account Of his politics. Neither
should the citizens of .Wkesling think of
putting in or out of Office = city official on
account Of his p~olitic4 In the manSgs-
ment Of our city affairs, we should have
an eye solely to business always. The TT
ness of . candidate, not his politics, should
be the first consideration Of the voter at
the city election.

affairs Of ON city. It hSs, through

ests of the citizens and taxpayersto party
advantage. Il has been corrupt in the
matter of creating unnecessary offices for
the reward of PARTY workers; it has been
e~xtravagant to the verge of sbsurdity in
voting away the peoples money, instances
of which are too fresh in the peoples minds
to need reorganization here. 1t has been
VIGOROUSLY incompetent in its manage
msnt Of the city's' business affairs, monu-
ments of which incompetency stand to-day
staring our people in the face and calling
for q vigorous popular rtbuke.
The act to gerrymandsr the city caps the
climax Of the present Councils unftness,
incompetsncy, corruption and partisanism.
It is q direct affront to the people and an
impudsnt proclamation to the effect that
since it has gotten into power by corrupt
methods it Intends to stay in power by the
same means.
It will take an almost unprecedented
amount of independent voting to dislodge
these barnscles on our municipal ship, but
we believe the great bulk Of our citizens
are independent in city affairs, looking al
ways and solely to the bsst men, and we
firmly believe that they will be dislOdged
despite their bold measure to throttle the
popular will.
1t will take hard work, bat it must be
done.

THE WOOL MARKET.
Prices Good But There Is Little Doing In
the Line of Sales.

NEW YORK, December 8-Brddstreet's
will say in to-morFow's issue: Business
less active in the various wool markets this
week than for some time past, but prices
are fully sustained. Attention is being
directed in the trade to the outlook for
wooden goods. Fabrics made of material
bought ct current values must sell at an
advance upon last sessOato show profits.
1t is, therefore, significant that the COM
mission houses are generally very conf
dent that the heavy weight goods to be
made during the coming season will sell
for more money than was obtained at the
beginning of the present year. Dealers IN
wool are not Specializing 80 generally as
heretofore. Most of the large manufic-
turers are well supplied with material and
and n quiet trade from now on is looked
for.
