MoRANrowN. Feb. 9Th 1883.

MORANTowN. Feb. 9Th 1888.
This being q rainy day, myself and
team are resting In order that we may
resume our labor with renewed vigor
q. sood IS the rain ceases. We are be-
ginning our eleventh year In Kansas
with great hopes, (thank God for hope),
for we have grown poorer every year
since we came here.
hear someone remark that there ia
more In the man than In the land. /
have no doubt of the fact for the prod
ucts from an acre, by planting the
right crop at the .proper time, and
managing It by the best methods, and
the ways that are best suited to this
particular climate and soil, and I am
anxious 10 gain that knowledge from
those that are successful? II each will
make known his profitable, a. well Al
the Improbable experience with crops
it would make interesting as well u
advantageous reading.
Last year I planted castor beans
which just measured our poverty. ]
also planted few rows Of corn on the
red or mulatto coil, without blowing
the ground, and it made fair corn
which led me 10 think that 1t il
not good to have such q soil too loose
but more compact. Now il had put
the field in corn that I put in beans. ]
would not have been 90 poor just now.
would like to know ifany Of the farm
ers that reads the REGISTER ever used
the Inmore Planet horse hoe, 1t has
been pronounced the best implement
for shallow cultivation of corn by the
Ohio Agricultural Station. They
claim that shallow cultivation il best.
I have been using . riding cultivator
until the land 10 becoming too foul:
Now in conclusion I would say can
not the farmers organize here In order
that they may be better able to combat
some OF the evils that they are burden
ed with.
The Napoleons in finance are
demanding tho much interest for their
money, and I noticed the other day
that the enterprising sugar combina.
ton had turned away from port two
cargoes of sugar, refusing to bid on
them, in order that they might keep
down the supply and increase their
wealth. Now there are. many Other
evils that are bearing rather hard on
the poor that may be overcome in 9
measure by organizing and co-opera'
ting
Now Mr.. Editor I hope this may
bring out knowledge to make us se
successful this coming year that
will be able to pay up my subscriptio u
and start anew in advance.

SWINE RAISING.

Editor Register: At your request
order my pen into line, and command
1t to 60 forward and tell what the hogs
have done for the landlord since last
August. In August I had two sows-
one weighing It's pounds the other .
thorough bred P. G. weighing 200 lbs,
and giving suck to six little pigs full
blood P. G. By the time the little pigs
were able to eat corn, I was feeding
my field corn (the old all being gomez
I hired my corn husked and had by
measure $50 bushels. I have since
fattened and sold $50 worth; killed one
for home use worth SO and have two
sows left to breed worth $40 each.
These hogs in the given time can not
have eaten more than 100 bushels Of
corn, for I have fed three horses aud
three calves regularly and have twen-
ty.five bushels in the crib at present.
The hogs had very little Of any thing
else but corn, water, sulphur, ashes
and coal. II anything this is low
calculation and will give me about Is
cents per bushel for my corn. Rem
ember there is no grass, bran or milk
used and do not think there was 100
bushels of corn fed to the swine.

Editor Register:
Having read q great deal in the lola
papers about the gre. advantages OF
early seed corn and thinking that per-
haps the experience of one who did
not have early seed for sale might be
useful, I send you this as my contribu-
ton to the Farmers Column.
Three years ago, owing to late plant
ing and early frosts, the variety OF
corn being large and late was render
ed unfit for seed.
So two years ago purchased from
the Plant Seed Company, Of st. Louis.
NO., two bushels of Leaning, the
great early field corn.
The first season, 1886, it did not have
. fair trial, being planted in low-lying
stump ground and the season being
too wet in the early part to cultivate
properly.
1t made between 20 and Is bushels
per acre in 1856. In 1887 had 1t plant
ed on both bottom and upland the in
tervening ground between the bottom
and upland being planted with . ma
tive Kansas variety. Gave it all as
good care as I ever expect to give corn
the Leaning on the bottom being
favored if any difference was made.
Well, the Leaning bottom corn
produced between Is and 80 bushels
Per acre. and the upland Leaning II
to Is per acre and the native Kansas
corn: IS bushels per acre.
Ny experience with "the great early
corn" IL this: 1t grows . very small
stalk and . large ear for an early corn.
and is very early; planted the last Of
May it would shell by the middle OF
August. It has small shallow grain
and very large cob for the size Of the
ear. The grain b extremely hard and
fed a. ear corn If dry it would make q
horses gums sore in . week or two.
Even shelled my stock would eat only
when compelled to. It made my
teeth ache to bite dry grain in two.
All the early corn I've seen is more OF
less faulty in this way. Large cob,
small and shallow grain. Am still
looking for . good corn but not an
carly kind a. I've raised % high % 60
bushels per acre on my best ground
but don't expect to do it with IN eaily
variety. A. E. BRIGHTLY.

March is here.

Nobody doubts 1t.
The wind announced 1t also

Continue the announcement off and

The March wind IL . fearful

But generally it IL wild and woody
And goeth about roaring and raising

The bowling thereof is like

And the noise Of the same IL like the

Full Of sound and fury, signifying
nothing.
It bloweth whittier 1t listeth because
1t can not help itself.
And no one knoweth
Whence II cometh or whittier it goeth
Neither doth any one care q cent.
It il no respecter Of persons,
Shifting equallythe rich and the poor
It snatcheth . bran new hat

It gathereth sand and gravel
And flingeth them in the eyes o.

Who never did It any harm.
1t raiseth real estate 90 high
That . Wichita boomer turneth

It lieth In wait till the clothes
Are hanged out to dry and then
It riseth up and wipeth the earth

It entereth in at the open door

It maketh us tired. Yea, verify,
It maketh life q burden.

A CORRECTION.

In our tariff article In the issue Of
the 18th. we stated that . "portion''
means the food, fuel and clothing nee
essary to support N adult one year,
when Of course 1t should have been
one day. The error was one Of mad
vertance merely. and did not effect the
argument. II 10 our intention always
however, to make no statement that
II not borne out by tho facts, hence
this correction.

G., Sixth regiment, as an armory. In the
building were 10000 rounds OF cartridges,
which kept up fusilade, and several kegs
Of gunpowder, which exploded with such
iorce as to be heard all over the city. Both
buildings were completely Quilted. The
Gre alarm telegraph system was rendered

Another Armory Fire.


COLUMBUS, o., Jan. l2.-Thc Fourteenth
regiment armory, a frame structure on
Spring street, burned at O'Clock this
morning Fire caught from defective
fue and soon enveloped the building.
The drapery and evergreen went like a
flash and fell TO the floor, everything going
up like an explosion. The force Of men
about the armory endeavored to get valua-
blcs and live stock out, but were unable
to do anything Of consequence. The
building was totally envelopcd in less than
ten minutes. There were 1000 rounds
OF ammunition in the building. The car
tridgcs exploded, the bullets flying in all
directions, making il dangerous for men to
work. Pete Ball, colored, was struck in
the head with bullet, not serious. Three
hundred stands OF rifles and uniforms OF
all theInen OF the regiment were destroyed,
rs web rs equipment and paraphernalia,
except tents. The officers lost much OF
their goods. Adjutant- General Axlinc
estimates the loss 10 the State at over Sl5,-
900. Other local organizations and drill
corps had their uniforms in the building
and lost tho same. The Ohio poultry,
pigeon, kennel and pet stock association
opened its second annual eXhi-
bition at the armory Tuesday. There
were displays from nearly every State
west ofthe Mississippi. The value OF the
exhibit Is estimated at over $4,000. All
the poultry and pigeon stock and nearly
NIL the dogs were consumed. The famous
Gordon setter, Boyal Duke, owned by
Walter Harnett, Philadelphia, valued at
$4,000, broke his chain and got ont,
badly sngcd. The only other dogs saved
were the champion English setter. Paul
Gladstone, Of Pittsburg, value, $4,000,
and two Irish settlers and a pointer be-
longing 10 residents OF Columbus, which
had been taken home last night. Among
the dogs burned were Patti NJ, prize
pointer bitch, Of Cleveland, which has
taken prizes al all the kennel shows, and
valued at 81 200. In all, over 300 dogs oI
different breeds were lost, composing the
finest display ever made in Ohio. Sii
Charles said 10 be the finest specimen Of
the ~. Barnard in America, owned by II.
J.. Goodman, Chicago, valued at $500,
and the whole OF the Alta kennel, Toledo,
o., composed Of st. Barnards, werc all
burned. There were between coo and SOt
entries in poultry, carrier pigeons, etc,
from many States, all burned. The cata
logues and record Of prize winners were
burned, which makes detailed iniorma
ton difficult 10 secure. The owners Of
many OF the dogs are not here, and thos,
incharge are greatly confused over their los
and can give no information about insur
ance. The building carried s, 800 in Ia,
Knox Mutual. The stock show would
have closed tonight, and was pronounced
such success that arrangements had al
ready boon made for an exhibition mex
wear.
