Our merchants and business men
feel the hard times for the identical
reasons given above. Our interests
are so inseparably interviewer with
those of the farmer that when he
suffers from crop failures we suffer
likewise. 1t is always so in a strict
ly agricultural neighborhood. Our
merchants do not have the trade
that they do when times are good
and they are compelled to sell on
closer margins. Goods were never
sold closer than they are sold in Wa
Keeney to-day. Our merchants are
all, we think, doing the best they
can under the circumstances.

The season of 1890 has been the
worst ever experienced by farmers of
western Kansas; aad while localities
in the east have had the same crop
failures it has heen much harder on
US for the reason that the farmer
here as a rule is poor and has no
surplus to tide him over bad year.
A single crop failure here means
great distress, while in the east it
only means close times. Our COM
munity is largely. settled by those
who were unable to obtain home
for themselves elsewhere. Many
have commenced farming with but
little besides a team and few farm
ing implements. Their crop is al
most a total failure and they are
destitute. It is not their fault
neither is it the fault of the coun-
try. Crop failures will occur in
any community occasionally. There
is nothing to be gained by attempt
ing to disguise the fact that por-
ton of our people must suffer before
another cop can be raised unless
they can seek the means Of subsist-
ence elsewhere. It is not a theory
but condition which confronts us
to-day.

We have never seen more forti-
tude, endurance, resolution and gen.
uine heroism displayed by any class of
people than by the farmers of west
ern Kansas. They came here to re-
main and secure for themselves and
families spot they might call their
own and with the full determination
to surmount all obstacles. Many
of them have been compelled to
leave their families on the claim
and seek work elsewhere. This
they have done without repining or
murmuring. They have not gone
upon the theory that the world
owed them a living. They have
done all that could be done, but the
elements were against them. The
majority of them are not disheart-
ened yet. They viii try it awhile
longer. There must be sunshine af-
ter awhile and we firmly believe that
their patience and perseverance will
finally be rewarded.

The season for sowing is now at
hand. We believe a larger area will
be sown this fall than ever before in
our county. Two failures in two
consecutive years are improbable.
Some of our farmers would like to
SOW if they could procure the wheat.
They are unable to buy it. They
cannot at this time raise sufficient
money to purchase the seed wheat
they desire to sow. What can be
done? We must act at once, if at
all. Some measures must be devised
and that at once or it will be too
late. It is to the interest of every
business man. This proposition
needs no argument. We have no
well defined theory to advance yet
but invite correspondence upon this
subject. Shall we call meeting to
consider this question: tits several
months yet until election and would
it not be good idea to cast aside
politics for few weeks until we are
certain that all who desire to sow a
crop this fall shall have the means
furnished. We don't need any out
side help. TregO county can take
care of this matter, but an organized
effort will probably be required.
Some of the mortgage companies
have proposed to furnish seed wheat
to farmers on the lands upon which
they hold mortgages and to wait a
year for repayment. They do this
because they Go not want the land

JAPAN GLOVER.
A Remarkable Plant That viii Thrive ON
Poor Soil.

Remarkable Plant That viii Thrive ON
Japan clover Uespedeza striata) has
been grown two years on the expert
ment station grounds, and taking every
thing into consideration. it is the most
promising plant for grazing purposes of
any thing we have tested.
Japan clover has made its appearance
in several places in the State, and will,
no doubt, gradually work its way West.
1t is remarkable plant, in the fact
that it is an annual; it will live on and
gradully take possession OF even the
poorest soils, and choke out
most other growth; yet with all
ics spreading propensity and per-
sistence, it is readily subdued in culti-
waited land. On good land Japan clover
will cut two crops of hay, and the hay
is of the best quality. In Mississippi
we have cut as high as three and four
tons of hay to the acre in year.
The plant is specially valuable for
summer grazing for cattle and sheep
On the old, WORKOUT cotton-felds in
Mississippi and Alabama, where this
clover has taken possession, two acres
of land supplies full feed for a steer
from May to November
The writer has an interest in an 500
acre pasture well set in this plant. on
which 400 steers were grazed the past
year. and it was the driest year known
in that locality since the war, not rain
ing enough to more than lay the dust
from July to December, yet one-third
of the cattle were shipped to Chicago
fat, the latter part of November.
japan clover is killed to the ground
by heavy frost, and will not, therefore,
furnish gazing in the winter.
To introduce Japan clover the ground
should be plowed and well narrowed,
then sow half a bushcl to the acre and
brush it very lightly, or leave to be coy-
cred by shower.
Toget stand in pasture we should
inclose small lot with fence, plant
as suggested above, and throw the lot
open to the stock after the LIST of Sep
TENDER; by this time the seed will be-
gin to ripen, and the stock eating the
partially-ripened plants will scatter the
seed in their droppings over the pasture.
l have seen this clover spread over 500
acres of pasture from a few scattering
plants in four years time.-F A. Gul.

says writer in the New York Sun, almost
the first sight which greeted the eyes of
those who got off was rough burial box
on the platform, and seated near it was an
old black woman with a handkerchief to
her eyes. When kindly asked the cause of
her sorrow, she pointed to the box and re-

"What nonsense!' exclaimed man, as
he came forward. whats the difference
where niger is buried? They want her
to bury it here, but she won't. She's de-

For what reason?" asked the passen-

''Kase, sab, all de fo' chill'en is buried

"What bosh!'' growled the kicker.
Look here!" whispered the other, as he
went over to him, I'D rather be niger
with her soul than be white man with
yours! She's right. Let the family dead
sleep together. "
He entered the express office, paid for
the shipment of the body, bought the
widow a ticket to Charlestown, and then
dropped SO gold piece in her hand and
said
