The newspapers of Kansas have
been making what everyone seem
ed to think was wild guess at the
size OF the corn crop of that State,
but now comes Secretary Coburn, of
the Kansas State Board of Aericul-
ture, and boosts the figures still
higher. He says tibet the condition
of the corn crop is 1858 per cent.
and that the yield will be 1862, 100000
bushels, which is three times the
size of last years crop, and is one
hundred million bushels ahead of
any previous corn crop in Kansas.

When the summer of life sslowly
wasting away on the nightfall of
age, and the shadows on the path
become deeper as life wears to it's
close, it is pleasant to look through
the vista of time upon the sorrows
and felicities of our early years. If
