STOCK AND FARM.

From Larned: 1t is q common thing
to hear OF farmers who are going to
SOW from 500 to 1.500 acres. Wheat
this year il running about twenty
bushels all around, and the price being
paid is more than for years, and the
quality is very fine.
Kansas Farmer: Messrs. NJ. S. Mil
Ter & Co., Florence, Kan, write us that
from a seeding of one bushel and four
quarts per acre, they raised, this year,
900 bushels of wheat on thirty five
acres of land, 1t is Of pure Russian
variety.
Sabetha Herald: J. H. Campbeh
brought us in some specimens Of this
years corn, this week, that would make
au eastern man open his eyes. This
nay be an off year IN Kansas crops,
hut it would take hard rustling to find
better corn anywhere in the United
Hsates this year than Nemaha has right
heIe near Sabetha.
Wellington Monitor: Neal A. Pick.
ct. contemplates sowing $50 acres Of
wheat. He has seven teams blowing.
Neal is a rustler. He bought $40 acres
Of the Thompson Bros, one mile south
of Guelph, for which he paid $4,000.
He sold his !Cowley county land OF 240
acres for $1,000; he also sold forty
three head of cattle at $50 per head,
and one fine stallion for $500. He now
owns almost 500 acres all close to-
Sether.
Oxford Mocking Bird: Geo. Watts,
Of Decatur, ILL.,, who has been buying
horses in this vicinity for the pdst two
weeks, nth Il. Ross, shipped carload
to ST. Louis over the Missouri Pacific,
l"st Wednesday morning. He had
seventeen as nice horses, between the
ages Of four and eight years, as can be
fought in any country. Horse buyers
are learning that southern Kansas and
Sumner county is the place to buy good
horses.
Udall Record: There will be large
acreage of wheat sown in this immediate
vicinity this fall. E. J. Anders, J. F.
Bainum, and @. L. Walker will each put
out 100 acres, besides many others Of
equal or less amounts. The farmers
are very busy, using all the force possi-
BILE preparing their ground for wheat
sowing. There will be little or no
wheat put into the ground before the
18th. The farmers are little afraid
of the bugs, which show some signs
of being troublesome if wheat is sown
too early.
Garden City Imprint: W. H. FAINT
purchased last winter for J. J. FAINT
,artsr section of land two miles north
the city, paying for it $4,000. w.
~. FAINT farmed it this season, and he
has now in hand from crops already
harvested sufficient money to more
than pay the purchase price of the land,
with still crop in sight which will, if
not overtaken by an untimely frost,
bring the owner from $1,000 to $500
more, and this farm less than three
years ago was buffalo sod. Irrigation
did it.
Kansas City Gazette: Wyandotte
county has, outside of her plated ter
ritory, $50 square miles of the best
farm and pasture land that the sun
shines on. The reason that there have
been no foreclosures of farm mortgages
here is that the farmers are prosperous.
The potato farmers OF the county have
made clear on their crops this year
sums ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
each, according to acreage. The fruit
and vegetable growers have done nearly
as we'll, while general farming has paid
splendidly. Wyandotte is without
doubt the banner county in the state,
size considered. in the matter of the
prosperity of the farmers. No Kansas
county can produce farmers whose bank
accounts can compare with those of Wy
