From all parts of the county
comes glowing accounts of crop pros
poets. Fall grain is growing rapidly,
and the seed distributed to hundreds
of farmers is beng rapidly planted.
The supply of grain in the worlds
markets is very low, and the pros
poets for good prices this fall are ex-
cellent.
Farmers are using a great
many arguments in favor of alfalfa
Here is one of them: When alfalfa
can be cut three, four and even five
times in a season, and yield from five
to seven tons to the acre, how can any
! farmer afford to do without five or
ten acres2 Alfalfa and red clover
come the nearest to making the
ideal hog pasture that can be grown.
One of our loan agents is in re-
ceipt of q letter from his company
telling him to make all the loans he
can get. If this country raises
good crop this fall, loan money will
flow back. If the security is good
there will be no trouble in getting
money. The credit of Kansas is not
quite ruined if some few of the politi-
cal organs do claim so.

4 Bullion Dollars.

The last Republican Congress spent a
few millions over a billion dollars Of the
peoples money, squandering much of il
for political capital. Few persons have
correct idea of the magnitude of this
vast sum.
If you were to eat penny cake every
second for 42,8OO years. you would have
a bill of 1,OOO,OOO,OOO topay the baker
Don't try it.
A billion dollars stacked up in a single
column would make a pile ,404 miles
high.
If the dollars were taken up in the air
and thrown TO the earth in a shower they
would cover an area of more than half a
square mile.
The weight of S1,O00,OOOOOO is equal
to that of Al ,645 American men.
1t would pay the salaries Of 10000
Presidents of the United States and sup
port the royal family of Great Britain
for several years.
Placed edge to edge 81 ,000,000,00O in
bills would carpet an area of 81 square
miles with liberal fraction left over for
repairs. Laid in line lengthwise they
would form a belt 80, ,625 inches wide and
114,289 miles long, that would go around
the earth nealy five times and reach half
way to the moon.
A billion dollars of paper money would
make if spun together in one large sheet
and then cut into pieces of the proper
size, gowns for 1867 women, or dress
es for 3S3,6O1 children.
1t would pay for the education Of 25O,-
600 children from the kindergarten to
and through college, and buy city lot
apiece for 5O,OOO,OOO persons-nearly the
entire population of the United States.

He Vas a Sad Sea Dog.

An old admiral, whose long sea service
had given his legs a decided outward cur
vature, once had singular adventure on
this account with ships pet, says the
San Francisco Argonam.
The crew of the ship owned a large
black spaniel, and took great pains in
teaching him to jump. A man, standing
up, would put one foot against his other
knee, thus making hole for Nep, the
dog, to make his leap through. The dog
always jumped through the aperture
readily, though if his trainers legs hap
pened to be short it was sometimes a rath-
er tight squeeze.
One day the admiral came aboard from
the aagships on visit of Inspection
Happening to walk to the forward part
of the ship, he stood there for a few min
utes conversing with the officer who had
attended him.
Here he was spied by the dog. Nep
stood a moment surveying the admiral 5
bowlegs. Suddenly the dog made rush
at the legs and mad leap through the
tempting gap.
In astonishment at the black tornado
that had passed beneath him, TIE adni-
raj whirled quickly about to see what
was the cause. The dog took this action
as signal for an "encore" and jumped
again.
Once more the admiral turned, and
again the dog jumped. The bewildered
face of the admiral and the serious atten-
ton of Nep to what he imagined was his
business were too much for the gravity of
the bystanders, and forgetting the respect
due to rank, they all roared with laugh
ter
a sailor, however, had enough presence
of mind to break from the crowd and
catch the dog by the collar. He led him
off, and as he did so Nep seemed to won
der why he did not rece e the praise due
to such spirited efforts.
The excited admiral got but an imper-
feet explanation of the affair from the
spectators, for they could hardly tell him
that his legs had been used as a kind of
circus hoop by a forecastle dog. Perhaps
to his dying day the occurrence was a
mystery TO him.

Loyal Big sister.

She was a tiny little girl, with dirty,
suntanned hair, blue calico dress and
bare feet. She carried in her arms a
baby half as large as herself, and the
baby was so heavy that it swagged in the
middle, giving the infant the appearance
of being held by the feet and the nape of
the neck. There was some excitement
around the corner of the next block on
Wash street, and the children were hur-
rying forward like mad from all direc-
tons The little girl tried to run. but
the baby was too heavy, and her breath
gave out. Said I, in spirit Of badinage !:
drop the baby, sis, and go see what
the trouble is"
She stopped and stared at me.

"What if did ? Amt you tired car

"Naw 1 amt. Say, mister, this is the

She sets up in high chair at the table,

CHARITY.

When you meet with one suspected
OF some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As a thing of evil fame;
Guard their every look and action,
Speak no word of heartless blame,
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may soil thy geedly name.
When you meet with one persuing
Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin;
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would kind work be in vain a?
Or a look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again?
There are spots that bear 10 flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad
Better have an act that's kindly,
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than, by judging Others blindly,
Doom the innocent TO pain.
