Gospcr County.
Mr. H. Dunn , n well-known stock man
of Goapor county , was in town last Mon
day , urging upon the 13. & M. company
the necessity of providing bettor facili
ties for handling and loading stock at
Homorovillo , the now county neat. Ho
roporta cattle on the ranges have passed
the winter so far in comparatively good
condition and very few losses are report
ed in the county or the immediate neigh
borhood. Mr. D. ia feeding 400 head of
cattle. They are well sheltered and of
course have notsufTbrodjfromtho severity
of Iho winter. Ho has alrcrfdy used up
20,000 bushels of corn , paying from 20 to
28 cents per bushel , the latter boinp the
present prico.
The corn crop last year waa first class
n every respect , the yield ranging from
forty to sixty-five bushels per aero.
Wheat waa largely grown and yielded
from twenty to thirty-four bushels per
aero. There is a largo quantity of both
wheat and corn still hold by the farmerc ,
and will not bo oont to marknt before
spring. Mr. Dunn thinks it is the great
est folly for farmora to send away for
now flood corn , or in fact to pay fancy
pricca to homo dealers , whllo any amount
can bo had in Goapor county at market
price and every kernel warranted to giow.
The county has settled up very rapidly
during the pant two years. There ia
scarcely any government land loft fit for
cultivation , and land claims , with very
few acroa broken , command from $5 to
87 per aero. Tho" farmers are all pros
perous and contented , and expect during
the coming summer to surpass last year's
record in corn , wheat and lioga.
Hoed Corn.
Henry Collamuro exhibited in our of-
flea Wodneaday , a very fine sample of
test ho made of his seed corn. Ho so-
looted 135 grains from us many oars taken
promiscuously from the crib and obtained
124 healthy sprouts. Mr. Gollamoro is
confidant that with a little pains ho can
soloot 80 or 130 hushola that will grow.
This corn is not the largest kind , but
everything considered , ia probably as
profitable ) to raise as any. [ Utica Record.
Good IliiBkJng.
Last Tuesday evening Carlos Olarkono
of the moat extensive farmora in the coun
ty , and who lives ton miles northwest of
the city , informed us that on Monday hia
eon Lee , only nineteen yoara old husked
and cribbed ono hundred and ton hushols
of corn , the corn averaging fifty bushels
to the aero. Mn Thomas Harmon , a
young man in hia employ also husked and
cribbed an equal amount in the same time
while another young man by the name of
Myers , huakod and cribbed ono hundred
bushels. A young boy only sixteen years
of ago in the same time husked and crib
bed eighty bushels. This ia the beat
husking that wo have hoard of that has
nvor boon done in .tho state. [ Hastings

Pruning Season.
Now is the time to train grape vines ,
and fix up trellises to hold the luscious
fruit. Go , cutoff all last year's growth ,
leaving throe buds nearest the wood of
the year's growth before , except these
long vines that you wish to trail and
spread over your trellis or oido of your
house or other place. Spread these long
vines out as a fan and tie them to nails ,
hooks , or straps of leather or strong
strings. They should bo at least three
foot apart , and most every bud will pond
out a cross shoot and with loaves and
grapes cover that space , if the vines
grow rapidly and boar well. _ The other
sprouts on the main vines will stick up ,
or they may bo tied to the trellis us the
rest of the vine should bo made fast so
that the wind cannot blow them off or
tanclo _ thorn. Lot the rays of the aun
fall fairly on the arbor.
Wc.d ( , not dig around the roots , and
fertilize with ashes , soapauda , sawdust ,
or old compost. You may plant straw
berries under the vines but do not cul
the roots. As soon as the sap begins tc
run atop trimming except to cut away
dead branches ,
There are too many roasona for all thie
to toll you why it ia so. The grape is toe
Hood fruit to bo neglected , and every
body should try to cultivate them.
The IminUliiK Season.
Katuiii Former.
The time is over when 1,000,000 pi
lambs , moro or loss , will bo dropped ii
Kaunas. That means § 1,000,000 foi
every eavcd lamb ia worth $1 not tc
ecll but to keep. The importance o
saving the lambs , then must bo apparonj
to every person. Old and oxporioncot
stockmen need little warning or informa
tion , but beginners , young men need t <
bo awakened and instructed.
The lambing season ia moat importanl
[ u handling sheep , because in cose o :
every lamb another lifo besides its owt
ia involved. Good care of lamba involve ;
goods care of mothers , and that means i
good deal moro than running loose 01
the open prairie shifting for thomsolvoa
What ia needed most or what can boa
bo done in any case depends on whotlioi
one's flock ia a herd numbering thous
amis , or whether it ia n hundred or two ,
In the former case , among tl'o first thingi
to bo douo by way of preparation is t <
ei'parato the owes into small Hooka , /
prominent Texas sheepman says : "I havi
no hesitancy in saying that ordinarily i
will pay to run small flocks during tin
lambing season. The larger pcrccntagi
of lamba that will bo saved will , in mi
opinion , many times pay for the addi
ttonal labor required , "
The lambing ground should have i
southern exposure and bn as much a
pojsiblo protected from north and wes
winds. In the next place , enya the au
thority above quoted , the lambing grouui
thould bo supplied with lamb pens , as wi
term them , That is to aay , pens Urn
will hold from twsnty-fivd to fifty ewe
and lambs , to bo distributed about eve
the ruiiL'o to a to accommodate such pwc
with tltoir lambs , or drop their lambs 01
the range during the day , and can not b
eafely driven into camp. Theoo pens ma
I bo made of brush , or anything cite tba
will hold sheep , but I abomiuato
> ena for any pnrposoand especially when
hero nro lambs around. Theno little fol-
ows have a great way of running their
leads into holes and other improper
) laces , and I .have known many to get
angled up in brusk and killed. I use
ions made of 1x3 inch palings , 3 } foot
ligh , nailed to 1x4 inch pieces , and 1
harpon the pilings by nawim ? off ono
iUo of the end. Hence , when I leave a
ot of owes and lambs in a lamb pen made
of such panels , 1 ncvor fcnr that ooyotca
vill "got in their work" on them during
ho night. I make my penn triangular in
hapo , using three pane-Is from 1 i to 15
cot long.
In addition to thcso lambing pens , for
use on the raimo , two or moro ntich pena
hould bo cut off from the main pen ,
whore the sheep are hold at night in or
der that the owca that drop lamba during
ho night may bo separated from the
nain Hock and with their lamba hold
jack in camp , after the main flock goes
out.
"Ilio Ijltllo Muuy Hcc. "
In hio "Talk on Boos , " before the Con-
iccticut farmers , Mr. U , L. Jeflroy , of
kVashington , gave much preference to the
[ tolians , because they are stronger and
moro prolific. Bees will gather honey by
noonlighl in pleasant weather , especially
when the bass-wood trees are in bloom ,
The Italians will fly further in search of
lonoy thtn the common bees , and three
swarms of the former will store as much
aa five of the latter. The Italians also
lave the advantage of being able to ch
ain honey from red clover. It was hie
jeliof that honey production might be
increased five or six fold without exhausting -
ing the honey supply of the country. The
ior.ilization of the garden raspberries ie
duo almost wholly to the work of the
bees. Individual bees are short-lived ,
[ n summer they seldom see moro than
[ orty-fivo days , while in winter the life
period may extend to six months. Hivce
ire much to bo preferred to the old style ,
aa they yield conaiiorablo more honoy.
Dn the question of how to winter boot
there ia n diversity of opinion. With ICC
liivoa a collar may bo the best place , pro
vided the temperature can bo kept be
tween 42 and 48 degrees. Bury
ing hives in the earth is sometimes
a good way , but whatever the method
Lho boca should not bo disturbed while
in winter quarters , but kept as quiet as
poaaiblo. Two diflicultica are rendering
boo keeping quito hazardous at the pres
ent time , a little insect resembling both
kha small lion house and the rod spider
of the green house. The insects live
upon the bodies of the hoes to the num
ber of twenty or moro on a single boo ,
and suck their lifo away. They are car
ried from one hive to another by contact
of MC03 with each other while gathering
lionoy from flowors. Not much is yet
aiown as to the best method of fighting
Lho parasites. Foul brood ia a name
riven to the other boo peat. In affected
iiives the young die before hatching , nnd
; ho old bocs scorn to have no moans or
disposition to clean the , comb. It ia an
old disease that waa known nearly a cen
tury ago , and is spreading to an alarm
ing extent in so mo of the western states.
Michigan suffered a loaa of 5,000 liivoa
in ono season. It ia a disgusting disease ,
as the dead larvu : omit a strong stench.
Foul brood is spread by boea carrying ;
iionoy from ono hive to another. , It ia &
'ungua , and great care should bo oxer- .
ciaod in preventing its spread upon now
territory. _
The Best Grapes.
Catawba is very good when it ripens
well. But it is rather late , and to bring
out all its goodness it needs a long , warm
season. In addition to this , if there
ihould bo a wet time in mnnmor , the
.oavoa mildew and drop off , and aa a con
sequence the fruit , instead of ripening ro-
nains hard and sour. 'Concord is very
lardy and an immense bearer , but it is
only of moderate quality , though it suits
a great many until their taste becomes
moro cultivated. Its worst fault , however -
over , is its habit of rotting in late years.
The same ia true of Isabella. Salem in
argo and good , and _ ripena tolerably
early ; but the loaves mildew as badly as
3atawb.i , and the vine is generally hurt
ay a very cold winter. This aud the
Wilder have boon called the best of Mr.
Kogors' hybreds ; but his No. 9 , now
lamed Lindloy , is superior. Delaware
is most excellent in quality , but it
lias two serious faults ; small size
nnd lack of vigor in the vino. A larger
{ rape nnd ono of rare quality , fully up to
Delaware , is loiia , introduced about
twenty years ago ; but its constitution is
so very fcoblo that there is not the slight-
? ( it encouragement to plant it. Its short
lifo would bo almost a blank but for ono
thing ; itbocamo ono of the paronta of
Jcfferaon , which lias inherited its fine
color and all its excellence in quality ,
together with the size , productiveness ,
vigor and hardiness of the Concord , the
ether parent. The keeping properties of
the Jefferson life na remarkable aa its fine
quality ; so that in addition to ik great
vuluo for homo usoitsvaluoasn shipping

for the vines. Common stakes answer

ihich will allow two vines to grow bo-
wcon them. The end posts should bo

na to withstand the strain of the wires in
trotching them and the weight of the

jargo staples should bo employed for
cctiring the wiren to the posts. Two

A Pointer lor ICnMcrn Farmers.
Aa a pointer for stock misers and farm-
its in the cast , wo wish to give a few
acts in regard to ono of our Johnson
ounty men. In 1879 , Theodore Smith
amo to this place from Henry , Illinois ,
nnd purchased 1GO acres of land a few
milca from Tccumseh. The following
pring Mr. Smith took posacssion of hia
and and commenced business by invost-
ng $41.75 in hogs. Since that time ho
iaa sold from this investment , § 1,080
worth of hogs and still has 140 head ,
, 'liich ho is feeding , The average price
rico realized for hogs haa boon S5.11A
or hundred. Mr. Smith now owns 32U
urea of good land , 80 acres of which ho
a seeding down with tame grasa for pas-
iro. Another matter might also bo
mentioned that will show that men need
not bo practical farmora or stock raisers
C bo successful. Mr. Smith was engaged
torn boyhood in the buaineaa of carriage
manufacturing , and had not the least
radical knowledge of the business ho is
DW engaged in but by _ exorcising good
idgmont and giving his personal attou-
ipn to the care of his stock nnd crop ho
its succeeded far bettor than ho hid over
anticipated. And now wo would say
'como ' west young men ; come to Johnson
Bounty , and invest in land and hogo. "

In tlu > northern states , sheep to pro-
uco fiber of first quality should bo
oused during winter ; not closely conned -
nod , but have a comfortable , dry place ,
nd bo allowed to go in and out nt pleas-
re. They should not bo allowed to
ango over the fields , aa thai ; it fatiguing
0 the annimala , and the little picking of
roaa operates against their eating up the
oed given. They should have access to
iuro water every day. Sheep well
loused and fed plenty of t oed hay and
) ddor need little ( jrain. The latter
liould bo given sparingly at first , but
ogularly , and slightly increased as the
rinter progresses , so that the sheep bo
lot allowed to loose flesh. The outer
nd of the wool is weaker than that near
ho skin , and should the sheep become
rory thin in flesh it splits and becomes
uito rotten , consequently is of little
iraliio.
The trade in frozen moat from the
( Yuttralian colonies of England has ad-
anted within three years to a moat im
portant condition. In 1880 .only 400
arciasea were imported , while in 1883
10 fewer than ll,04oi ) : ! were landed in
ngland 62,733 from Australia , and
2'J,7i2 ! from Now Zealand. Twenty-one
argoes arrived in a perfectly satisfactory
ondition , seven were not quito so good ,
.nd . three were bad. Colonial mutton is
n greater domniid.than colonial beef.

mown aa "old Americans" has boon

ho experience of moat farmers who have
ttumptcd to grow the potato upon the
amo plat of ground for only two 01

Among tlio vcsaola wliioli nro authorized
o bo constructed for the navy in the bill
iruscntcd in the senate on Monday , is
> no like the torpedo boat Alarm , designed
) y Admiral Tortcr. Ilonco a brio ! do-
cription 5f the Alarm , which has recent-
y had novural improvement * completed ,
rill bo of interest. The Alarm VTM de
igned as n cruising torpedo boat , carry-
ng a bow gun , and intended for service
lot only in rivers , bays , nnd harbors , but
long the sc.i coast ; in fact , for 1130 im- ,
cr any of the conditions of literal war-
arc , and her ' " " annions and form -were
icculiarly uuuuod by the designer for
hat purpcso. The hull is of iron , and
ho torvvard portion below the water sur-
ace forms n species of tube for the sup-
ort and maneuvering of the main tor-
edo spar , which is capable of carrying
xnd sustaining the reactions of a torpedo
if such sire that its discharge ) in proxim-
ty to the hull of the largest vessel could
not fail to prove instantcously destruc
tive. The spar is operated in the hold of
, ho vessel by proper mechanism.
Above the water surface the forward
turtion of the hull in recessed , and the
irincipal gun is placed close to wh.U np-
tears to bo the atom , over which it fires
n thoj straight-lino direction. The bow
if the hull above the water surface is
irotcctcd by armor plates ono and one-
ialf inches thick , which is an efficient
icfonso , ( is the vessel has the power un-
ler all ( circumstances of either , advance
) r retreat , of keeping bow on to a foe ,
vhoso shot would consequently bo de
lected under a very acutoanglo.
The gun has no carriage in the ordinary
ncaning of the term , the hull itself act-
ng as the carriage , the gun being mov
able in only the foro-and-ait direction on
lidca , and depending for training on the
leering screw , which is also the propel-
or. Owing to this mode of supporting

mounted with ono of the largest size
JL'ho vessel is thus not only a torpedo-
io.it , but a gunboat , solving the import
ant problem of carrying the maximum

lircct fore-and-aft fire , with n capability
of prompt and accurate aiming in azimuth
not obtainable by another method.

; om of keel plate to top of wooden deck ,
47-10 feet ; displacement , 750 tons ;
weight of hull , 355 tons ; weight of arm
or , 15 tons. The hull is of iron and
armored on the upper portion of thu bows
with iron plates 1A inches thick , extend-
ng from the deck to a little below the
vater lino. There is no wooden sheath-
ng coppered , no spars , no rudder , and
no keel. The lower portion of thobrw
at the bottom of the hull is carried for-
vard into a beaker snout fifteen foot be-
ore the forward end of the water line ,
this beak carries the spar or polo to
which the torppdo is affixed , which spar
s run out and in horizontally from the
vessel's hold without the exposure of the
