DiDtheria.

Dipiheria in a malignant form has APP
peared in the southern part of our county.
Only the most active measures and strict
Obst rvance of sanitary laws will prevent the
spread of this dread disease, which during
the year 1880 caused more than one half the
deaths occurring from all causes in the
United States.
Do not go where the disease is if you can
help it; and above all do not let your child
rem go where the disease is. Permit no one
to come to your home who has been where
it is.
From your dwelling Danish all filth, disin :
feet all privy vaults. Diptheria is disease
IF filth, and is proven able.
When the disease gets away from the first
cases and spreads in community some
body is to blame. This disease certainly de-
mands our best efforts for IFS suppression,
as its treatment Is rs yet unsatisfactory.
We ask The aid of every citizen If our county
in its restriction and suppression.

A Queer wedding Ring.

The reason why the ring is placed upon
the fourth finger of the blushing bride is
said to be because a small artery in that
digit connects it with the heart. When
she is married with curtain ring, as some
times happens when the bridegroom is for
getful or his assets do not run to golden
circlet, the principle is maintained, though
the practice is inconvenient, but the being
married with door key is Objectionable on
both grounds. A young Irish bride was
thus united the other day to her swain,
who, with the carelessness of his nation,
had mislaid the more usual article The
parish clerk remembered the vestry door
key, which, accordingly, was hung on her
finger as on q doornaiL

Kansas RustIers.

The ezone of the air, its dryness, and the
elevation of the land produce nervous exal-
tation, which creates enthusiasm, move
ment, energy, push, vigor, and ''go;" by
whose operation men are transformed into
''rustlers" and ''boomers," inventors of new
methods to overcome the hostility of nature
and cOiners of novel phrases to express
their finance of destiny. Platitudes are un-
known, and all epithets are superlative.
Imagination predOminates; established for
mulus and maxims are disregarded. Upon
the rainless i'd sterile uplands the strata of
the earth are pierced for water; and marble,
paint. cement, fire clay, gypsum, coal and
salt are discovered III the descent. If chinch
bugs and noXiouS insects attack his crops,
parasites and epidemics are imported for
their destruction. Fooled and thwarted by
! the battling clouds, the undanted husband
man bOmbaIds the invisible moisture IF the
armament with explosive ballOns, and eff
| fusively welcomes the meteorological juggler
who summons with his lamentations aqueous
| spirits from the vastly deep. The faith
which removes mountains into the sea ami
mates every citizen, and rejects the impOs-
sihIe with calm disdain.-EX-Senato In

Will II PAY 10 PLANT Rroom Cor,

W HI H dV 10 DEOOM OOIHS
Having been asked the above question
and a great many others pertaining to
broom corn culture by parties who have
never grown broom corn in this county. I
will try and answer the following questions
through the columns Of THE REPUBLIC.
How shall I prepare the ground: What
is the best time to plant! What variety of
seed and how much per acre? Does it re-
Iuire mere cultivation than corn? How
many acres will produce ton of brush?
What will be the probable cost of harvest
ing per ton?
If your land is old ground and in good
state of cultivation. plant with a lister, if on
last wears. breaking, pillow the ground and
thoroughly harrow it, and plant with drill
corn planter.
AS almost all of our broom corn is planted
on broke prairie sod we cannot be too
careful in breaking it right. Sod should be
broke at a uniform depth Of three inches
with pillow that will lay the sod fiat and
smooth, aud it would be improved BY the
use of heavy roller.
The first season to plant is from May 20,
to June 10. but 1t might do well earlier or
later few days.
The standard Evergreen is considered the
best variety for this locality. while the Dwarf
grows well here, It is liable to be damages.

Kansas Farming,

''Do you have any faith in the rain max
ers?"
How many times that question is asked
The general answer is in the negative,
and in a great many instances because
people have rot the courage to sustain their
own convictions. They are afraid of being
laughed at.
Our american progress" is entirely due
to inventions and their improvements.
There always will be croakers. People who
are ever ready to ridicule inventors.
els rain making SO very wonderful after
alp"
With the many clouds floating around, it
would seem that were the lacking element
supplied there surely would be plenty of
rain. Some claim that electricity is only the
lightning of the heavens harnessed well,
if it is Harvesting electricity to put the
chemicals in the jars that will produce it for
our every dav use, we may hope to soon
have the clouds SO "harnessed" that we can
have rain where 1t is needed.
The bountiful crops of last yeal clearly
d demonstrates that the soil here is very rich,
and that with moisture enough. the crops
here would be the most wonderful on earth.
Farming in western Kansas is yet in its in
fancy. so many varieties of grain and grass
that haven't been tried. Even fruit, with
the proper cultivation has been produced.
The country is too new too expect the best
of it as vet. Wait till its resources are fully
developed.
Some people wonder why their their trees
don't grow set out in the sod, with perhaps
no tending too, and when they look for the
buds on them next spring. and find them all
dead, they lay all the blame to the tree
agent. 1t is too much like placing a city
belle out on one of our western ranches far
away from any neighbor or friend, and ex-
pect her to be as gay and we'll dressed every
day as she was in her city home. You must
allow her to be acc.imated before she can
resume her social tone.

Every patter on the sningle
Has an echo in the heart,
And thousand recollections
Into busy being start,
And a thousand busy fancies,
Weave their bright hueS into wool,
