SNOW PLOWS WERE OUT.
Tuesdays Blizzard Made Western Traffic

Tuesdays Blizzard Made Western Traffic
Difficult.
One Of the most severe snow and wind
storms of the winter prevailed Tues
day on the west end division of the
Rock Island. The snow began falling
early in the morning and kept it until
late in the afternoon. A strong north
west wind was blowing which did not
tend to improve matters.
Between Goodland and Colorado
Springs from One-half to FIVE inches Of
snow fell, and from Denver to Limon
over five inches fell. The was a cold
rain and sleet between Goodland and
Jennings.
The sand and snow drifted badly On
the Rock Island tracks and the COM
pany was compelled to attach two en-
ginss to each train. The snow plows
we're also out.

IL NORTHWESTERN KANSAS.
An Eastern Kansas Editor Pays sherman
County Visit
Northwestern Kansas Has Prosperity in
Store for II in the Near Future-suEe
Of Crops by Irrigation.

The senior editor took flying trip
to northwest Kansas last week. Our
objective point being Goodland, Kan,
one Of the most beautiful and pros
porous towns in that part Of the state.
Friends took US around over the
country aud pointed out objects Of in
tsrest to US. We visited a fine farm
two miles north Of Goodland owned by
an ex-banker. This gentleman owns a
large tract Of land and has it nicely
improved and cnltivates abont two
hundred acres by irrigation. He has
windmill that pumps a stream of water
as large as a mans arm. Has pond
that averages six feet of water at all
times of the year The irrigation
bitches and manner Of flooding the
fields was new to us, never having seen
anything of the kind before. This
gentleman floods his fields one at a
time and then runs a harrow over the
ground to hold the moisture. The soil
is rich and produces abundant crops
during seasonsble years. But, by ex-
pending from three to five hundred
dollars for a we'll or two with wind
pumps you can raise e fine crop every
year. Northwest Kansas is destined
to become one of the greatest grain
and fruit producing countries in the
United States. We saw some Of the
finest young orchards, fruit Of all kinds
out there that it was ever our pleasure
to behold Irrigate your lands boys
and you will get there in great shape.
The country is high, and of course,
the atmosphere is dry, but from eighty
to one hundred feet runs a river of
pure, sparkling bright water as the
water in our glasses, a river that will
never fail. God doeth all things we'll
and He has provided means whereby
the honest yoemanry of Kansas can by
little effort and small means. sustain
life.
Goodland, the county seat of Sher-
man county, has a great many large
and imposing structures that would
be a credit to anything in the east.
1t the end of division Of the Chicago,
Rock-Island & Pacific. A large round
house built of brick looms up near the
depot, also machine shops. The depot
is q large and beautiful structure, rail
road hotel adjoining which cost the
company many thousands of dollars.
The Goodland high school building
is very large and magnificent struc-
lure that would do credit to many Of
the old cities of the east. The court
house is a model of beauty. We, in
company with the editor Of The Re-
publicly the way the editor is a
populist-yisited many points of in
terest. We visited the city water
works, it works like a charm and is
all right. We visited both printing
Offices and was cordially received.
Goodland should be proud of her
newspapers and editors, We predict
that in few years northwest Kansas
viii produce abundant crops and will
be equal to eastern Kansas.-ROsedale

Kansas Wheaf Aorears-

The Kansas wheat acreage this year,
reported by the state board of agricul-
ture last fall, is 100000 acres. Some
thing has been added to it by sowing
during the mild winter The acreage
soWn for last years crop was 4, 172,O00
acres, but wheat was gathered from less
than a million acres. This years acre
age is the smallest since 1880, when it
was , 81, 600 acres.

EAsTERTlDE.

There is no death, the lilies say;
We hide our tiny souls away
When hOary Winter comes to blight
Our tender leaves and blossoms bright.
But When the SOuthiaHd's gentle breath
Comes softly back to Danish death,
Beneath the trembling mould we cry;
Hail, resurrection! None shall die.
Sweet prophets of the life to be,
know this self-same spark in me,
That neither time nor distance knows
And yet is eomrade with the rose.
Dear Mother Earth, within thy breast
This better part of me shall rest
No longer than the seeds that bide
The coming of the EasteTtide.

CORN,
RED KAF1R Corr.
EAYerage of six wears.

BY this it is seen that the yield of
KRfF corn was very much larger than
that of corn in FIVE out of the six years
and the same as to the Kafir corn for
age every year. In fact the Kafr corn
yielded about Al per cent more grain
aud nearly 50 per cent more fodder
than corn, The poor showing for both
varieties in 1880 was due to destrSe-
tive frost September u. Ia 1894 the
failure of grain in both varieties was
dne to there being no appreciable rain
from the middle of July TO September
/. and the fact that the crops side by
side on alternate plats were in q poor
upland prairie soil underlaid with hard
pan, Yet, under these adverse eircum-
stances. the Kafir corn yielded double
the quantity Of fodder that was obtain
ed from the corn.
