Valuable Foreign Seeds.

Mr. Jared Smith, one of the grass
experts of the Department of Agri-
culture, states that the Department
has received some seeds which may
prove interesting to Western farmers.
They are mostly from the arid re-
gionsof Siberia and Russian Turke-
stan, country in many respects. re-
sembling the arid regions of the
West. Among them are hairy vetch,
which is drought and also cold re-
sistant. a variety of winter rye which
is especially hardy and dought resist
ant, oats, and two or three kinds of
winter wheat. Most OF these seeds
are thought to be suitable to climates
having extremes of temperature, and
the Department is willing to supply
free trial lots to farmers desiring to
test them. Some of the Turkestan
alfalfa, which is thought to be very
drought resistant, is also available.

About.twenty years ago Mr.. Grant

About,twenty wears ago Mr.. Grant
took a homestead in the Stimits
neighborhOOd, broke up a lot Of
prairie and planted an orchard. He
tried farming for several years, came
to the conclusion that this wasn't a
farming country, and moved back to
near Topeka from whence he came.
Last Tuesday a son of the above nam
ed gentleman dropped into this office
and said he was born in sod house
about fourteen miles southwest of
town about nineteen years ago and
inquired the way to Mr.. Stimit's. He
said his father advised him to
come out west. look up good water
ed claim and he would start him in
the cattle business. The boys father
says he sees now where he made
mistake, had he stayed here and en-
gagged in the cattle business he would
be better off financially to-day-al-
though he Is in good circumstances.

Birthday Dinner.

On Saturday, August II, there gath
cred at the residence of John Brown
in Cove county, quite number of ola
soldiers and friends to celebrate his
birthday. OF course the most nota-
BILE event was the sumptious dinner
provided. With a table spread for
about thirty and goodies enough for
one hundred, the old boys in blue saw
hopelessness of taking all before
them. But with undaunted courage
they waded in, and in the battle that
followed the crack of jokes could be
heard on all sides. Being an eye wit
ness of the affraY (maybe did eat
little) could but think Of the time
when they met in their more youth
full days, and it is pleasing to know
that this grand nation appreciates
the services then done and wishes
them many happy birthdays and
bounteous dinners.

Scarcely a day passes," says the
editor of the Horton Leader, 'sbut
some one with a grievance requests
us to rip some one up the back. We
don't rip. Who ever heard of any
body tearing their shirt and making
enemies just to help an editor out of
trouble or to defend him from an at
tack of some kind. Nobodyi If you
are badly used, have the manhood to
fight your own battles. Editors have
learned by experience that individu-
ais whose axes they grind, often use
those axes to chop the stuffing out OF
the editor. If you have anything to
say to man through the medium of
the press, take it to the editor, put
your name on it, pay for the space
the same as the merchant does, and
