STOCK AND FARM.

Greensburg Times: Some smut is
reported in soft wheat. This will lead
the farmer to planting the harder
varieties. The hard wheat is splendid.
Barley and rye are excellent, and these
crops will simply be immense.
Ingalls, letter: Some wheat in Gray
county will be cut this week A major
ity of the crop will be harvested within
the next two weeks. Prospects for a
large yield per acre were never better in
this county. There was twice as
much wheat sown last fall as in any
previous year. Conservatives estimate
the crop from fifteen to twenty bushels
per acre.
Special from ingalls,: Rams we're
never more regular in Gray county than
this season. Consequently alfalfa is
exceedingly fine. Heretofore alfalfa was
sown almost altogether in the river
bottoms, but experiments this year
fully demonstrate the uplands will pro-
duce it about as we'll as the bottoms
Alfalfa is being sold on our streets at
S. per ton.
Macksville letter: Heavy rains have
fallen in Stlfford and adjoining coun-
ties. AS far as rain is concerned, we
are now assured of bountiful crop of
small grain and especially wheat. Owing
to few days of dry weather in May,
both wheat and .oat straw is rather
short, but both are we'll headed and
filled. The corn crop looks fine. If
nothing happens to prevent, Stafford
county will produce more corn this year
than it has in any previous one. Pota-
toes and garden vegetables are abun-
dant. The tender growth of nutritious
prairie grasses are making many
pounds of beef for the eastern con-
sumner, and the stockmen and farmers
are happy.
Hartland letter: The season this
spring has been remarkably good. Just
a few days ago this community was
visited by splendid rain, and conse-
quently everything in the way of farm
production is in good condition. Alfalfa
is simply immense. the first crop of
which is now being harvested. Another,
and the last from which the seed will be
saved, will be harvested in October
Ten or twelve tons per acre will be the
result OF the three harvests. This land
is splendidly adapted to the production
of this prolific crop, and stock, espe-
cially cattle and horses, can and do fat
ten on this without anything else. The
wheat in the county is fine. It is esti-
mated that there are 10000 in the
county. Those in position to know
say that the people are feeling better
and more encouraged than they have
for long time.

ALLIANCE MATTERS.

ElDorado Republican: The farm
ers alliance met at Augusta last Friday
and put az entire county ticket in the
field. 1t is stated that there is but
one Republican in the list of nominees.
The Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union of Greenleaf, at recent meeting,
decided that the formation of a new
political party-which would be a secret
political party-would be sure death to
the Alliance: and that their attention
at the primaries would be sufficient for
them to secure the success sought.
After this every member present voted
against the formation of a new party.
Wellington Monitor: The distin-
gushing feature of the eightnannual fair
of the County Fair Association will be
the prizes of 500 and $50 respectively
for the best and second exhibits of farm
and garden products by an alliance in
Sumner county. The remainder of the
programme will be fully up to the
highest standard of county fairs.
Don't forget the date-August Goth to
29th, inclusive.
La Crosse Chieftain: That the alli-
ance has grown at remarkable rate in
this county was fully demon
strated Saturday, by the large
number of alliance meu in the city, for
the purpose of attending a meeting in
their interests. and listening to an ad-
dress by Lecturer Scott, of MCPHERSON
Early in the morning the farmers began
gathering together in the city and
by noon the streets were almost i'm
passable. It seemed as though all the
farming community for miles and miles
around had fiocked to the city. This
shows that the alliance has a solid and
substantial growth in this and surround
ing counties. Large delegations from
each county alliance we're present and
participated in the work of the day.
Delegates from all sections of the sur
rounding country were here and laid
their views before the meeting. There
IS some talk of the alliance putting
ticket in the field this fall, but no DEF
mite plans has yet been made.

safeguard against unhealthful influences, up

Boston Mass Record, June9.
Golden fruitage has fallen from the Louis
lana State Lottery Company plumb into the
pocket of a well-known citizen of Boston. Ii
is Alfred A. Marcus this time, and the plum
struck him 100000 worth. Alfred Marcus
is familiar figure on our streets, having
had extensive dealings in real estate, and he
is generally conceded very shrewd business
man. In religious circles he figures as one
of the strictly orthodox Jews. He not only
has built two synagogues, but in one of them
on Church St., he is the rabbi, and there is
seen every Saturday conducting the service
and reading the sermon. One day last week
he paid off the mortgage on one of his
churches, which, it has leaked out, was due
to his good fortune in securing the plum
from the Louisiana State Lottery pie. 1t
seems that few days previous to the draw
ing of May 18th, he bought a whole ticket,
No. 80, 49, He paid $50 for the ticket, and
on the May Ii drawing found his was the
lucky number 9,825), and had drawn the
entire second capital prize of 100000. The
next morning going to c. H. Allen of the
Central National Bank, the money was sent
for and received on Friday, May %.
