The year 1895 begins we'll for the Ford
county farmer, and the month of Febru-
airy has keyed his spirits up to G. The
total rainfall last month was 2.26 inches,
or i .63 inch in excess of the average for
that month for the past twenty-One
years. This makes the excess since
January 1st 1.S6 inch. All spring crops
would terminate and thrive for several
weeks yet without more moisture.
However, it is probable that March will
contribute her quota of moisture which
is an average of SO of All inch. Wheat and
rye are fixed for months growth, and
considering all the aspects which come
within the vision of the naked eye the
grain fields will blossom with golden
wealth this year.

Free Seeds for Farmers.

A Mondays dispatch from Washington
says Secretary Morton has decided to ship
to western Kansas the seeds which were
purchased by the government and set
apart for drOuth sufferers. 1t was the in
tention at first to place the matter of dis
tributiOn Ill the hands of the relief CON-
mittee at Topeka, but ut the solicitation
of Senator Martin the shipment will be
made direct to the registers and receivers
Of the U. S. Land Offices at Dodge City,
Wa-Keeney, and Colby. These officials
will have charge of the distribution, and
can place the seeds where they will do
the most good.
This method of disbursement will also
obviate the delays usually attendant in
such matters.
If we mistake not these are the same
seeds purchased by congressional enact
ment for aid of Texas sufferers, and de-
cIined by that state npon the grounds that
it was not government ward.
Western Kansas has large element of
starch in its composition. but is not going
to manifest such gingerly disposition
over the proposed kindness of Uncle Sam
as did the Texans.
These seeds were to be on the road to.
day and will no doubt be ready for dis
tributiOn at the land office by the first of
April.
Farmers in this land district who desire
to avail themselves of this benefit should
apply to the Dodge City land Office with
out delay.

Fish Culture.

Irrigation Farmer: A very important
industry in the west is that of fish
culture. As Governor Morrill, in CONVEX.
sation with the present fish commissioner
of the State of Kansas remarked: ''Fish
meat can be raised much cheaper than
pig meat, 'and every farmer who has an
irrigation windmill and reservoir should
have his reservoir we'll filed with fish.
Fish is a very healthful food. 1t re-
quires little care and is quite profitable.
In number of reservoirs the black
bass is being grown very successfully.
Judge Vandivert of Kinsley believes
that the channel cat is the most profita-
bic fish to grow in irrigation reservoirs.
1t is native of the climate and it is also
a very valuable food producer.
Fish culture upon the plains will have
one advantage and that is every man can
own his own fish, catch them when he
pleases and in the manner Ire pleases.
He will not be disturbed by any fish or
game laws.
The carp is very profitable fish. but it
is not popular for table use. A friend of
the editor of this journal first fills his
reservoir with carp, then he puts in the
cat and bass. These feed upon the carp
and flourish. Carp live upon vegetable
matter and are easily fed.
With little attention the great plains
country will become great fish produce
ing country and thousands of pounds
can be sold in eastern markets. There
is no reason why fish pond that will
yield a very handsome return cannot be
made upon every farm.
1t is new and novel idea to advocate
the raising Of fish the same as you would

and having spent few days of last

position to compare the condition of the

the same territory. His idea is that
wheat is in 100 per cent better condition
this year than last. He says he run up
against the alarmists, aud IN every in
stance he would prove to the doubtful
ones that wheat was all right. Fields of
wheat were examined which the owners
had given up for lost, that will make
big yields. In fact he found but little

Compliments Ford County.

Never before has there been q Kansas
legislature as whole roasted by the press
of its own party MS has this one which adj
journed last week.. The Senate catches it
from the populist papers and the House
from the republican press. 1t seems from
their acts that very few members of the
republican house realized what caused the
landslide last November, and what the
people expected at the hands of the vic
tors. III red-hOt review of the session
the Kansas City World independently
says: However there were some excellent
men in this late legislature. The same
body will again assemble in 1896, as both
senate and house hold over for the extra
session which must come. Then the
people know who II trust and who to
shun. The earnest. honest members will
know how to secure the best results, and
who to call upon for aid and who to dis,
trust.
There will be half dozen members of
the next legislature who will accomplish
some sort of legislation upon the subjects
of most Importance to the people. They
will have their measures formulated and
will, during the interim, canvass the
situation and secure concensus of opinion
from the members, thus avoiding any
possible objection of radicalism.
On these subjects in which the people
are most interested there are dozen who
will take the initiative. On the state
printing question, Mr.. Fitzgerald of
Ford will take the lead and be aided by
MIR. Simmons and Miller or Morris, Re-
publicans, and the Populists unanimously.
Mr.. Miller of Morris will lead the assess
ment and taxation fight. MIR. Ballinger
will again take up the fees and salaries
fight, with Frazer to aid him. Mr.. Camp
bell of Stafford will not be alone in the
effort to secure some wholesome railway
legislation, nor will it be entirely Pop
ulist movement. Mr.. Neale will not
again spring his resubmission proposition
but Althea Briggs Stryker and ''tlle nine
other women'' will attempt to push their
suffrage bill through the house.
The. reappOrtiOnment of the state into
legislative and senatorial districts will be
the purpose of the extra session, but it is
not sure that subject will be the hardest
fought. That the Western counties will
make an effort to retain their present
prestige numerically, in the state legisla-
ture, is assured from the work done this
winter on this line.

The City Election.

The city election is approaching.
Everybody is talking about it. Some per-
sons want change, and some do not.
Many have ideas and plans, old and new,
which they would have developed and ap-
piled. Others are at sea-sOme with a
broken rudder, others withOu: a pilot.
Some are hot already. while others are
just as chilly. This is all wrong. 1t
means phantom chasing. A little mate
rializing should be the first object-crys-
talizatiOn will follow. There is but one
question at stake, and all know what It is.
There is but one satisfactory way to settle
the matter, and that is to give the subject
a full and thorough public discussion in all
its phases, and then submit ii to the voters
for adjudication. During the discussion
every man ought to maintain a good Iii
gestion and greet his neighbor with a
smile. The big cities are already CORY
to the bride bits over municipal reforms.
The country reverberates with the war
cry, And the echoes from Kansas are adj
ding to the din.
Now while it may at times be expedient
in business way to nullify law, it mat
tiers not whether that law ls morally
right law or the reverse the infraction
itself.is a crime within the light of the
statutes. The continuation of the process
must have tendency to breed contempt
for all law. And whether the actual re-
suits accruing fully compensate for such
reputation is point OH which public
opinion divides.
We have been importrned by partisans
of both sides to do the discussing for each.
We like to accommodate our friends, but
they seem to expect too much. We be-
lieve in the rigid enforcement Of every
law on the statute book-gOod, bad or in
different. If a law is good one its rigid
enforcement will make the people like it.
If bad or defective law, the more rigidly
it is enforced the quicker it will be re-
pealed or remedied.
With Dodge City this has become a
local business question of importance, the
merits of which we are not acquainted
with, and we therefore leave its discussion
to those who desire to enter into the same.
These columns are at the disposal Of the
public for full and impartial analysis of
the ssbject. In the mean time don't fail
to register.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
thinks that farmers generally do not
realize that it is as easy to grow as large
a yield of strawberries to the acre as of
potatoes by planting the right kind in
in rows twenty rods long SO that they
can be cultivated with the horse. The
great cause of failure is in planting all
pistillate varieties. Set one row of per-
fect-flowing kinds and on either or both
sides row of pistillates, and, properly
tended, 200 plants set in this way in the
spring will bear 1000 quarts of splendid
fruit the following season.

gymnasium to go round and sent out a
call for the men to appear Thursday
night At this time the class organized
and time was set for regular meeting.

and professional men there are many
men of muscle, who in their younger
days were considered fine athletes. No
doubt few lessons under Instructor

OF the drills but that they will also be
greatly benefited.

A VILLAGE NUISANCE.

Barbed wire fences on public streets
are barbarous things, as anyone will say
who has had clothing torn on them.
The desire to protect property from the
ruthless feet of those who would fain
make short cuts across lawns may lead
people to put up these denominations in
sheer desperation, but the probability Of
accidents is so great that bills OF expense
out OF all proportion to the usefulness of
the fence may be presented. A lady had
a handsome new dress all bnt ruined a
few days ago on one OF these fences, and
the money which the gown cost would
scarcely repay her for the trouble and
annoyance it gave her. Not long since
there was a similar case, and unless
barbed wire firms are done away with
there will be more to follow. Village i'm
provement sentiment might step in here
with beneficial effect.
