TO A BELOVED JAPANESE GIRL

Tangled and torn the white sea laces
Broider the breast of the Indian deep;
Lifted aloft the strong screw races
To slacken and strain in the waves whiot
leap.
The great sails swell, the broad bows shiver
To green and silver the purple sea,
And down from the sunset dancing river
Flows broken gold where our ship goes free.
Too freel too fastl with memories laden
gaze to the northward where lies Japan;
Oh, fair and pleasant and soft voiced maiden!
You are there, too distant! o Yoshi San!
You are under those clouds by the storm winds
shaken.
A thousand ri, as the sea gull flies,
AS lost as if Death, not Time, had taken
My eyes away from your beautiful eyes.
Yet If it were Death, Of friends, my fairestl
He could not rend our spirits in twain.
They came too near to be less than nearest
In the world where true hearts mingle again.
But sad is the hour we sigh farewell in,
And for me, whenever they name Japan,
All grace, all charm, Of the land you dwell In
Is spoken in saying 20 Yoshi San!'

pressure. II was undoubtedly one oi
the worst storms Kansas ever
experienced.
Kansas promises TO astonish the
world for the second time with heI
enormous wheat crop. This year the
extreme western cOnties have come 10
the front and the yield in the western
portion Of the state is said 10 be almost
beyond computation. Where corn has
proven a failure, wheat is a success
and land in the western part oi
Kansas, which was abandoned because
nothing could be raised on 1t Is becom
ing valuable, aud soon will bring q
good price, and those who held on will
reap the profits.
1t is said that many who gave up iu
dlspair and left their claims, are going
back to look after them, and in some
cases only to find that they are too late
as said claims have been declared
vacant, and have been proven up by
some one else.
Harvest has been going on in south
ern Kansas fortwo or three weeks, and
threshlng has commenced. Wheat Ii
yielding from twenty-five to forty
bushels per acre. The total yield fol
the entire state is estimated at not less
than sixty millions of bushels. Corn
and oats will not yield as much as
usual, for the extreme wet weather
made It 80 that corn could not be put
in early, and then the dry spell cut
the oats short. II the remainder oi
the season Is good however, the corn
will turn out all right.
Politically things are coming to
the boiling point here in Kansas, and
what will be the result, no one can
foretell. As this is the presidential
year, the Republicans hope hopes OF
electing their state ticket, but,
remembering the last election and Its
results, their confidence is possibly
more assumed than real. The fusion
between the peoples party and the
Democrats has dismayed them some
what yet they are counting on enough
of the eighty, two thousand majority
of the last presidential election being
left, to carry the ticket.
The Peoples party held their conven-
ton at Wichita few weeks ago. The
Republicans are in convention assem-
bled at Topeka, at the present writing.
The Probitions national convention is
In session at Cincinnati, and the Peoples
party national convention will assem-
BILE at Omaha in few days, Soon we
will be in all the turmoil and excite
ment of the presidential campaign,
and Kansas will be heard from in due
time. G. l.. E.

CLAY CBNTER KAN, July 1st, 1892.
1t would be hard to give an adequate
description of the spring which has
just closed; it has been the coolest and
the hottest, the longest and the shortest
the stormiest and the pleasantest, the
windiest and the stillest, the wettest
and the dryest, and altogether the
queerest spring of any on record. Cold
weather lasted until the first of June,
men were wearing their heavy clothing
yet at the end of the first week in June
and then IL came off so hot so suddenly
that people were nearly melted. Crops
of every kind, unless 1t be wheat, are
very backward, and the yield from
gardens was very small; the strawberry
season lasted but little over a week.
In May the raid fall was excessive,
but in June it has been so dry as to
alarm farmers for fear that the oats
would be too short. April first there
occurred one of the heanest winds I
ever saw in Kansas or anywhere else.
At its height It's velocity was ninety
miles per hour, and that wind did a
great deal of damage in eastern and
middle Kansas, over turning wind
mills, small buildings and even houses
of some size: In towns awnings were
torn down, and chimneys blown off
and many fences leveled, and in some
places business buildings were blown
down.
May 9th was the terrible Yelling
ton Harper tornado, not Cyclone, as
SO many persist in calling it. That was
one of the worst storms that ever
struck Kansas, and though COM
paritively few lives were lost the dam
age was well up toward one million
dollars, when, all is counted.
1t struck both places about the same
time, and leveled every thing in its
course. Great stone and brick blocks
crumbled like cardboard houses before
1t, while often q frail frame building
was left standing. Freight cars were
hurled two and three hundred feet
from the track, while box would be
left where 1t was standing. A horse
was carried from the commons to the
top ofa large two story house, and
left there, An infant was taken out of
its cradle, carried two blocks, and left,
uninjured on the grass In front of
house. The separator of a threshing
machine was forced down into the
ground, to the axles of the wheels. At
Harper the lower story of the tower of
the Baptist church was demolished,
about one fourth of the spire broken
off, and the rumaining part of the
tower and spire left leaning against
the building. The Presbyterian church
was moved off its foundation and
broken In two pieces. The High
school building was wrecked, as were
the opera house and Masonic temple.
At Wellington a church capable of
seating thousand people was
destroyed while small frame house
standing by 1t was uninjured; one
church building was turned complete
upside down, and was otherwise not
damaged to any great extent. In both
places many buildings seemed to be
crushed to the ground, so there must
have been an immense downward

FARM AND GARDEN.
RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC AGRI.
CULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.
Cross Fertilizing and Hybridizing in
Small Fruits, etc, for the Purpose
ofGetting New Varities.

The following excellent suggestions
are from the eminent hortculturist
Professor T. ]. Burrill, OF the Illinoi!
experiment station. The subject is one
calling for the cooperation of farmers
and fruit growers, everywhere with
the experiment stations, for where
nature has laid the foundation for i'm
provement by giving us such a wide
Seeding as the Concord grape, that
should be made the basis for further
work.
Cross fertilizing and hybridizing
have been carried on to some extent
both for the effects of crossing and fol
the purpose of producing, if possible
new varieties of value. A number OF
crosses have been made In the apple,
as for instance, between Ben Davis and
Grimes, Ben Davis Minkler, or Ben
Davis and Duchess, with view of get
ting something that will bear like the
Ben Davis, but have the better quality
of Grimes or Minkler; having the keep
ing quality of Ben Davis and the hardi-
ness of the Duchess. Different varieties
of strawberries have been crossed and
plants are growing from the crossed
seed. Blackberry varieties have been
crossed, seeds planted and plants are
growing. Raspberries have been cross
ed-black varieties together-red varie-
ties together-black with red, and
blackberries with raspberries. We have
now ready for planting more than a
quart of seed from crossed raspberry
and blackberry or from selected varle-
ties.
Results are problematical, but there
is certainly great room for improve
ment in our blackberries and raspber-
ries.
There is entirely too much seed for
the amount of flesh. When we consid-
er that our apples originated from a
crab in no way superior to many of our
own native wild crabs, and the excel
lence that has been developed by cul-
tivation and select what may be not
from our raspberries and
blackberries, which are so much better
naturally? We have only begun with
the raspberry and blackberry group of
plants. Ibelieve none of the black
berries or dewberrles now cultivated
are the result of growing plants from
seed, but that all are the results of
propagating natural seedlings; and it is
not at all certain that we have yet the
best of the wild varieties. Most of our
are the results of chance.
During the past three seasons some
work has been done in the line of
crossing and selecting corn grown from
crossing two distinct varieties will be
larger than the average of the kinds
crcsssed; or where the parents are near
ly equal value! To be shure nothing
has yet been repnrted In that line,
though there would seem to have
been abundant time for seedlings to
have been grown. If the results of
our crossee In corn are to serve as an
index, we might expect to find In a
second or third generation fruit of the

ceptibility of fruits to the influence

It is now developed that the accuse.

an examination of the War Depart.
rnent records in 1888, at the instance
of no less IA person than President
Cleveland, with a view to finding
something detrimental to Gems. Alger
and Harrison, whichever should be
his opponent in the Presidential race.
Nothing could be found against Gen.
Harrison, and there was only this
fiimsy accusation against Gen. Alger,
which his disgruntled temporary SUI

cord, without daring to make it

courage and zeal in the service of his
country. This was not what Mr..
Cleveland wanted them TO find. He
was only anxious for them to dig up
something which would hurt Gen. Al
ger, and he was only too happy to dis
cover this cruel and uujustifiable
fling of an ungenerous young West
Pointer at n volunteer officer of whom
he was jealous. The whole thing Is
characteristic of the attacks made on
veterans. Cleveland was a stay-at-
home Copperhead during the war,
and meanly hostile to those who were
doing service to the country that he
was too selfish or cowardly. to per-
form. 1t is from this class that pro-
ceeds the most malignant attack on
veterans. The Southern rebel is a
much more generous opponent of the |
Union soldier than the Northern Cop
