In september, 1859, Herman was sent
as an amba. sador to Maryland to en-
deavor to settle boundary disputes with
the Dutch colonies. He began the sur

Virginia in 1850, which was published in

Kansas City News.
The coming year should witness an
organized and energetic effort in Kan
sas to develop and extend the culture
of beats and sorghum for the purpose
of sugar making. Had the fields in
the southwestern part been planted
with sorghum instead of corn during
the past two or three years, the wide
spread distress among farmers on &C.
count of thoughts would meyer have
been felt. In comparison with wheat
or corn sorghum is a sure crop. 1t
withstands successfully hot winds and
schorching droughts. How great
market exists for Its product may be
comprehended, when it is known that
of the sugar consumed in the United
States, one-twelfth is made in the
country.
The soil and climate of Kansas are
suitable for the cultivation both of the
sugar beat and sorghum. From one
or the other of these sugar producing
vegetables the sugar consumed in this
country will ultimately be made. The
Legislature of Kansas has already
done much to encourage farmers to
undertake this branch of agriculture.
The Kansas press should now take the
matter up aud urge 1t incessantly.

BUTTER vs.. BEEF.
American Stockman.

American Stockman.
A good cow ought to yield 600 pounds
of cheese annually. Prof. Willard
compares a cow that will yield $50
pounds year for twelve years, deduc-
ting the first two years during which,
as heifer, she yields nothing, with
three steers which, at four years old
will yield 1000 pounds of meat. The
cow in the time specified will yield
4 500 pounds of good wholesome food,
every pound of which, as
shown above, is fifty per cent. more
valuable as a nutritious food than the
meat will be. We have virtually
5000 pounds of nutriment from the
dairy in twelve years, four years to
each steer. But taking it pound for
pound, and putting it at current
prices for full cream cheese, and the
beef at more than an average price for
carcass and what have we? The
cheese at ten cents pound-the high
est ruling price at this time-would
yield the gross sum Of $4,000, while
the meat at an average price of ten
cents would give the gross sum of
$4,000.
1t behooves some of US, therefore,
who are favorably situated for con-
Quoting the dairy, and are yet devoting
our strength to beef production. to go
into an investigation of this matter.
There is beef production on farms
where the diary should be firmly es-
tablished and tillers Of the soil will
never get down to the most solid bus
mess principles until they do carefully
institute comparisons between the
probable profits of farm enterprises
which they have not tried with those
they have, regard being given to all
existing circumstances.

The forcible deportation of "untrust-

resorted to before that time as a con-

1879, when the struggle between the

fierce, exile by administrative process
became common thing, and people

movement, were sent to Siberia by the

selfish desire to do something to ele-
vate the lower classes, ventured to
open an evening school for factory op.
eratives in the suberbs of st. Peters
burg, he was sent to Siberia by admin
istrauve process. If dozen or more
young people were surprised together
at night under suspicious circumstan-
ces, their names were recorded in the

the next time the government found it
necessary "to take more vigorous
measures for the preservation of pub
men and women, who perhaps had as
sembled merely to read and discuss
the works of Herbert Spencer or
of John Stuart Mill, were arrested and
sent to Siberia as cOnspirators.
Friends and relatives of convicted rev.
olutionists were banished by admins
trative process as matter of course,
and long before the assassination of
Alexander II, six or eight hundred
young people, representing all classes
and all social grades, had been swept
into the prisons by the drag.net of the
police, and sent thence to Siberia by
administrative process without even
the pretense of trial.

future of our works. The companynOw
has on hand about sixteen hundred bar
rels Of salt. which will be barreled just
as soon az the cooper stock arrives, it
having been ordered some time ago.
Frequent inquiries for prices and rates
have been received from Wholesale
houses at Kansas City and st. Joe,
many Of the letters stating that judg-
ing from samples which had been
VIEWED, our salt was the finest ever
put upon the market.
Lately, in order 10 ascertain just
how much the total output for twenty
four hours amounted to, careful meas.
urment was made and it was found to
reach one hundred and twenty barrels.
The present furnace doors are defec-
tive and entirely too light and it is
claimed that when the new ones are
put on next week and the pan fired
heavier, that the output will be great
ly increased.
The company now propose to put in
another pan at once, and will issue
stock to the amount of $4,000 to build
it. The books are now open and the
chances are that the stock will be TAX
