One feature Of this country which
makes drOuth less dry and destructive
is the dew. There are few countries
where so much dew settles as in this
part. Oftentimes in the midst of a
whitening drouth, vegetation is made
10 look lively by the presence of a
Kansas dew.

lfeastern farmers knew of the ad-
yantages this country possesses over
the eastern states, many who are
wearing their lives out to make a liv-
ing on few acres of rocky hills, pay
ing half or more to the landlord for
the privilege, would certainly avail
themselves Of advantages offered
where more can be done with less
labor. Here is d sample of what a
boy can do in sunny" Kansas: Sher-
man Shuu, son of II. II. Shull, living
one mile north and two west of Milan,
during the past spring double cut
with disc thirty-two acres and drilled
it to oats. Then with a combined
lister he listed and planted to corn
one hundred and forty acres, fifteen
acres of which he double listed and
twenty-five acres Of which he first
plOwed, walking all the while, only
riding in cutting with disc and plow-
ing, without help from anyone only
while listing the twenty-five acres of
plowed ground, which was so trashy
it took two to handle the lister and
team. This, besides several acres OF
truck patches, we pronounce a pretty
good springs job for boy only fifteen
years old. Who can beat it?-Milan

The rain this morning will be suf-
fcent to mature the early corn. We
are ROW assured Of large crop, al
though there is considerable late corn
that will need more rain to mature it
perfectly. A little over an inch of
water fell and the rain seems to have
been geneaal over Sumner, Harper
and Sedgewick counties. The corn
in this vicinity has never suffered for
rain, but from every direction come
reports Of damage by drouth. The
Arkansas and Minnesota bottoms
seem to have suffered more than 9th
er sections. East and north OF Wei
lington they had begun to cut up
corn. The dry weather has damaged
the crop as near as Mayfeld, Conway
Springs, Caldwell and Bluff City.
