MEN who work hard out of doors
breathe in so much vitality from the
free air and tone up their systems so
by the exercise that they may abuse
their stomachs considerably without
material damage. This explains how
we occasionally hear of vigorous veter-
ans that have taken regular drinks,
smokes and chaws" during long
life. But it is only the strongest of
them who do not find kick in these
indulgences. With the weaker breth-
rem they begin to tell severely by the
time middle life is reached, while with
men of moderate vitality the injury
done soon becomes marked. All nerv-
inc drugs, under whatever name, de-
tract from vitality; and the fact that
persons of great vigor can resist their
evil effects makes their example in
using them the more perniciOus to 9TH
ers. But the evil is not all outside the
house. Women who use tea and coffee
are travelling the same read as the men

crops, as well as to gardens, composted
manure is an excellent application. But
compost heaps must be watched closely,
and turned often enough to ensure an
equal action on all their contents before
the heat and moisture has passed off.
A good farmer can get profit out of
composing very often.

MANY things about our county fairs
ought to be corrected. An improve
ment in the fancy and domestic article
exhibit would be the barring from
awards all articles that are either anti
quated, useless or made by other per-
sons than the exhibitors. The giving
of such things place in the exhibit
ton is enough, without an award.
Heretofore the same rugs and bed
quilts have in some cases taken pre-
miums, year after year, in the same So
ciety, and been sent the same year to
several other societies for premiums.
This abuse has been carried to such an
extent with live stock that often ami
mails, worthless for breeding, are fitted
for exhibition and receive repeated
premiums, thus misleading confding
public. 1t is not long since we heard
well-to-do farmer, who ought to be
ashamed of it, boast that his wife had
made over twenty dollars by exhibiting
for dozen years in succession the
same articles of fancy work. lntelli-
gent judges ought to be able to root
out many such " chestnuts," and mana
gers should see that stricter rules are
made and enforced in this direction.

YORKSHIRE SwINE.-We have lately
received from w. w. Rawson, the great
market gardener and scotsman of Ar
lington, near Boston, pair of his
thoroughbred medium Yorkshire swine,
which appear to us pretty near perfec-
ton, and they have been greatly adj
mired by those of our neighbors who
have inspected them. Mr.. Rawson has
made specially of swine for the past
twenty years, and, having tried all the
approved breeds, has settled upon the
medium Yorkshires as the breed that
suits him best. The pigs are noted for
their small heads, large shoulders and
fine form, are very quiet and easily
kept, and take on fat quickly. They
will average, dressed, at twelve months,
$50 pounds. We suspect that Mr.. Raw
son has his pens pretty well crowded,
for his price for these pigs is remarkably
low, considering their quality. We
make this notice without solicitation,
simply because we are so well pleased
with our purchase.

diem. You, intelligent reader, would
hardly like to milk cow twice for five
cents; chi would you, now? Not if the
COW was one of the energetic kind, de-
termined not to stand the sting of the
Internal little flies. Well, beef is worth
about two cents per pound, at least that
is about what we get for nice young
beef right out of the pasture, and it
costs more relatively to produce it than
the cream costs the farmer; so, all
through the diversified occupations of
farm life, not single item can be
named, unless it is production of horses,
TO which particle ofprolit adheres--to
the farmer-and yet we are said to be
the backbone of the nation, and so we
are in fact, and that argues that the
backbone of the nation is very tough to
stand such an awful pressure"

IN regard to composing manures,
there is good deal said, pro and con-
Our own experience is that all manures
that are fine enough to spread evenly
and to pillow in with ease may just as
well be drawn out as they are. But on
many farms there is great deal of
rough material that would pay for COM
posting, and also there are farms where
good muck can be dug out cheaply, and
is just the thing to 90 in with corn-stalk
manure, surplus or damaged straw, for
est leaves Ohough we don't believe in
skinning the sugar-place, or any spot in
the woods where the leaves lie level,
swamp grass, etc. Therefore we en-
dorse composing to the extent that it
can really he made profitable. A part
of the work of composing is saved in
the reduction of bulk and increased
ease in handling, and also, if the process
is well managed, of greater immediate
availability" The agricultural chem
lists have great deal to say about the
availability " of the plant food in com
mercial fertilizers, and they assign more
value to that quality than practical men
can believe i'll. But for some crops
immediate availability of the plant food
applied is very important. This is es-
pecially so with crops like corn, which
must be hurried in order to reach matu-
rity in our short seasons, and to such

THE excellent Southern CultiUdtor
says: "Though farmers complain of
depression, they would be more de-
pressed than now to live as their grand
fathers did. The best room then had
no carpet, or a rag-carpet if any; there
were no pianos in the home, but there
were spinning-wheels; there were no
Cor not many broadcloth coats or silk
dresses; and no family carriage or nice
buggy to use on the road-nothing bet
ter usually than farm wagon. There
were no sewing-machines or clothes
wringers, no mowing-machines or reap
ers. Things are depressed, but neglect
and bad politics have caused it,"

Editorial NOtings.

A CORRESPONDENT asks: " What is
the best way to dry and store sunhower
seeds?" We have never grown large
crop of sunfowers, but on a moderate
scale the best way we have found is to
cut the heads with a part of the stem,
tie on a string and hang them up to
the rafters. Advice from more expe-
rienced parties would be acceptable.

THE Connecticut Farmer calls atten-
ton to an evil thing when it says:
"There is one feature of our annual
fairs that ought to be suppressed, in
the name of humanity, and that is the
drawing competition for oxen. An
honest and true yoke of oxen, that do
not know what it is to balk or refuse to
draw, are hitched TO a stone-b boat, heavy
rocks are piled upon it, and, after the
oxen have strained every nerve and
drawn every pound they can, then more
rocks are piled on. 1t is simply pitiable
to see the poor beasts, struggling and
straining to do seemingly impossible
thing"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As the year is drawing 70 an end
we consider it our duty. a. well as q
pleasure, to offer thanks to our friends
and the general public FOR their lib
eral patronage bestowed upon us this
year. We must say that We have
spared no effort to please the public
and it shall be our aim u continue to
study the wants of our patrons. We
have taken special pains to inquire
into the wants of the people in our
city and surrounding counties,-and
we find that owing to the more health
Ter state of affairs-owing to pros
porous season-a better grade of
goods is demanded than We have
been enabled to sell heretofore. We
consider this a pleasure, for notwith-
standing that we have kept none but
frst-class goods, we shall spread our
selves the coming season and lay in
a strictly first class line of NIL kinds
of merchandise. We strive to give the
public quality, not quantity, and all
things being equal, we assure You You
will always find us to be the lowest.
The volume Of business We have done
this year gives us the assurance that
we have merited the confidence Of the
people, and this in itself is of great
pleasure to us. Yet we are endeavor-
ing to still increase our business the
coming year, and in consequence will
start for the Eastern markets shortly
to lay in the heaviest stock of Dry
Goods, Fancy Goods, Clothing, Boots.
Shoes, Hats, Caps, ETC., ever brought
to Dodge City. We feel convinced
the public will appreciate our step,
for we propose to keep all the trade
at home, and only in having the
goods the people demand, can we ex-
pect to accomplish this.
In the mean time we desire to say
that we will inaugurate u general
clearing sale of all our winter stock,
shortly after we finish inventory, which
will be Monday, January 5th We
request you to take advantage of this
sale as You will find unprecedented
bargains in every department. In
conclusion, we again thank our friends
and the public in general for their
liberal patronage. We wish you one
and all very Happy New Year.

She's all right! Since July 18th there
have been shipped out of Bucklin station
seventy-two car loads of wheat. This,
at the low estimate of five hundred BUSH

of wheat, which at the net average of
seventy-fi cents bushel means to

And the oats are oozing out of every
