A Reviewer SuueIcEad.

"In novel by my friend Payn," says
William Black. Il came upon a striking
passage, in which the heroine was described
as being buffeted about by terrible gale,
.nsomUch that her raven black hair
srreamed out to windward. With the light
heart of an amateur reviewer, | wrote to
Mr.. PayD and drew his attention to the
fact that, as a general rule, anything blown
by gale would stream out, not to wind
ward but to leeward. But the answer
came sharp and prompt. The description
was perfectly correct; the heroine (said the
author Of her being had been taking q
great deal of iron tonic, her hair had be-
come electrically charged, and had foated
out toward the north, irrespective of the
wind currents of the storm. So Iobiect no

farm wagon. He thinks the eastern horses
are especially at disadvantage with the
western horse on the track AS an evil
dence that the blue stem hay is considered
Of value for feed above the tame grasses he
refers to the fact that in New York City
it bring $50 ton and the timothy is sell
ing for 81. 1t is almost a sure cure for
heaves, and among numerous instances
proving the fact, cites that two years ago
he purchased Rosa Miller at Detroit, and
she is now absolutely cured.
That the western grasses and water are
better than can be found in the east is adj
mitted by Mr.. II. G. Jewett, of Buffalo, n.
Y, who sends yearlings here from his New
York stock farm, and when they remain
a year and are returned they have grown
more than the eastern colts. Mr.. Toler
says Kansas farms give more bone and
muscle in two years than can be found in
Kentucky in the same time He conf

Kansas stock farms will be known quite
well by every state, and especially by the
lovers of fine horses.

Mr. F. f. Bleckky, passenger and ticket
agent of the Missouri Pacific railway,
received orders yesterday to put into effect
at once a s.. 10 rate to St. Louis and So 10
to Chicago. Mr.. Bleckley stated that there
was no telling where this rate war would
end, that the Missouri Pacific railway
was bound to make any kind of an open
rate, that was secretly made by any other
line, and that his company was in the
fight to stay as long as there was anybody
to show fight. Business he says is lively,
travel being very heavy; but the revenue
small These low rates apply from Chi
cago and St. Louis to Wichita as well as
from here there.

Mr.. Toler breeds for speed and is espe-
cially looking for trotters He has COM
menced with a trotting family, and in the
event the result is not speed thecolt makes
a good all-purpose animal, large enough
for this and in every way suitable In the
Wilkes family it is found that less than 20
per cent are PAGERS, the others trotters.
So far Mr.. Toler has sold from his farm
stock amounting to $4,000. He mas Just
commenced to get down to business thor
oughly and get some returns. 1t was ex-
pected that for a long time it would beout-

have been quite as much as was expected.
Heis exceedingly well pleased that be doci-

heves in the merit ofthe natural grasses and
considers it much better than the timothy
