CRYSTAL SPRINGS, CONFERENCE.-The rainy
weather finds us again in Colorado.
Ii the rainy weather continues all summer,
as it has the last two weeks, we think people
will have no occasion to complain of the
droeht. either in Northeastern Colorado or in
Northwestern Kansas.
Quite ii heavy hail storm in the western
part of Sherman and eastern part of Colorado
last week, but as the crops are not yet up we
don't think any harm was done.
Colorado is on the boom. but we think set
tiers will be able to find land most of the sum-
mer. Railroad camps can be seen along the
Rock Island survey most of the way west of
Eustis to Crystal Springs, and we understand
they are at work all the way to Colorado
Springs. People are anxious to know what has
become of the L. p, as they think both roads
will be Il benefit to the country.
Columbia, the new town fifteen miles west
of Burlington is on the boom.
Royt, we understand will move to the Rock
Island survey. about thirty-five miles west of
Burlington. to much nicer location than
their present enc along the Republican,
1t is not certain yet where the town will be
located at the springs. We hope 10 see IA town
spring up like magic, out here some place ere
many months shall roll around.
Mr.. Robson is still handling groceries and
medicines etc.
Mr.. Herring is still keeping bachelors hall,
and locating. He will be very partial to school
mistresses wishing to locate out here.
Mr.. Stcrk is breaking good deal this SUM
mer, on his and other peoples land.
Tender feet from the east that complain of
the cactus in Kansas should never come to
Colorado for if Kansas will average cactus
to the square rod, Colorado will average one
to the square inch.
As we did not ger to congratulate George
Armstrong before leaving Kansas, will send
our congratulations through the CAT. Hope
he will live long and happy life with his new
found Jewell for judging George by the aver
age Kansas bach, we believe he wanted q wife
above every thing else in the world.
We think more of the Kansas bachelors will
follow suit if there is anything in appearance.
Plenty of rain will make good crops in Kan
sas. Good crops will thin out the bachelors.
Railroad work is plenty in this part of the
country, bat we don't think wages are any
higher than in kansas. The country Is full
of men looking for work, but We don't think
many of them are very anxious to work for
most the camps we know of seem to be in
want Of men.
As Horace Greedy said Go west young man"
we would say come west, come to Colorado or
Northwestern Kansas. Get q claim, stick to 1t
through thick and; don't get discouraged with
the country because you CANT makes fortune
in q day or two. We think that to have been
the trouble with this part Of the west. People
have wanted TO make money too fast: they
have already realized . greater raise in the
value Of their land than was ever heard Of IN
Iowa, Illinois. Eastern Kansas or Nebraskn,
I'm the pioneer days. hAwKRvB DICK.

Hastings and Vicinity.

6dStln88 ana VICINITY.
But little of moment has transpired in this
neighborhood of late. The frequent rains en-
courage our farmers to put in extra crops,
hoping for an abundant harvest.
We are somewhat anxious concerning the
much talked of removal of our "Rock Island
town" Hastings, to parts unknown. 1t will
leave quite a number of us with little plots of
ground scattered over the original town site.
which we can hardly use for gardens.
VIM. Kribbs has lately made proof on his fine

faithfully. The heavy rain one night last

think this a rather thin excuse. The school
ma'am boards there.

FARM NOTES.

Rhubarb plants should be covered with
manure and the covering left on until
spring. The result will be strong and large
stalks when the growing season arrives.
The deficiency in the wheat crop of
England this year is estimated by good
authorities to amount to at least $25, OOO, 900
more than usual. England will probably
have to buy during the next year nearly
$2OO, OOO, 600 worth of wheat.
The yard should be graded with gravel
SO as to incline the water to flow away
from the house, and the we'll should be
also graded, the curb combing q foot or
more above the ground. The water should
not dow around the house, but away from
it.
II you would preserve your fruit in tho
best possible condition, drawers and bins
should be provided in which to store. They
should be made shallow with Slated bot
toms so as to admit of q good circulation
OF air. If each specimen is then wrapped
in separate piece of paper it will aid in
keeping it'in the best condition.
Any farmer who lives on a farm situa.
ted a quarter of mile or more from
neighbors, may keep flock Of geese with
profit. II bles ed with too near neighbors,
the geese might trespass upon their gar
~dens, or get into their bean patches or
fields of grain when least expected.
Geese are taught with little trouble where
they must stay, and they will run in q
pasture where there is plenty of water
and grass, growing rapidly without other
food.-COr. american Cultirdt0r
The pasture land of tho farm is of great
Importance, particularly when stock
raising is q leading feature of the business.
This part of the farm is, however, usually
the most neglected. Stock is turned on to
it as early as possible in the spring, kept
there as late as possible in the fall and
made to carry as much as possible all
through the season, with no thought of
maintaining the fertility of the soil or a
good grass sod. 1t will pay to care we'll
for the pasture. It should be plowed up
occasionally if possible and then reseeded.
-Raral World.
The shiftless farmer is found in nearly
every neighborhood. His farm is run
down and worn out and he can hardly
make a living. Fences are tumbled down,
buildings are dilapidated, agricultural
implements out of order and scattered
here and there in the fields where they
were last used, and orchards untrimmed,
and unplowed and left to the mercy of
borers, worms and insects. His horses are
poor and made worthless by ill-treatment;
his cows are improbable and unruly and
are found q large part of the time roam
ing over the neighbors' fields. His wagons
are marred and covered with mud. his
harness is never oiled and his carriage
robes and blankets are always ragged and
dirty. The home grounds are grown up to
brush and briars, and present an appear
ance OF neglect and Disqualification.
