The use of the malla by theae companies la a proetiiuilon of an SKcncy only Intondcd to serve pur posca of legitimate trade and a decent go elal Intercourse. It Is not neccaauiy, 1 am bu re, fiir me to attempt to portray the rob bery of the poor and the widespread cor ruption of publle and private morals which are the necessary incidents of theae lottery Bchemes.

Forty Acrea Hurtled Over at Chicagothreat l-'lre at eeneca Kails, V l. ClCCAoo, July Ml. Fire, supposed to have originated from a spark front a locomotive, started about seven o'clock last evening in the lumber yards just north of the mouth of tho Chicago river and fanned by a heavy breezo it spread rapidly, burning over nearly forty acres txtfoisj it was ulltulilod. At 8:.'!0 p. in. tho Indications were that tho lire might bo one of the most exten sive that has occurred in Chicago since tho destruction of thn most valuable part of the city In October, 171. It be gan on thn docks of FiUsitnmons & Con nidi, contractors, and rapidly spread to the lumber yards of E. E. Ayer ,4. Co. and E. E. Wbitcomb A Co. All about tho locality where tho flames started aro vast stretches of val uable lumber piles and manufacturing establishments. The region is known as the north pier and is situated on tho north side of tho river, not moro than a few squares from the site of old Fort Dearborn, the Indian trading post that marked tho beginning of Chicago's com mercial Importance. A wilderness of ships and wharves rendered the place al most inaccessible for lire engines, but tho fire boats provided by the city for just such an emergency remedied the dilliculty in a measure. The scene of the lire is penetrated by tracks of tho Chicago .t Northwestern railway, hich crosses tho river near by for a junction with the Illinois Central and the east ern trunk lines. Skirting tho North western tracks are tho lumber yards of tho Peshtigo Company and II. Paencke & Co. It Is estimated that the total loss will exceed ?:(00,000. Tho principal losers are: Ayer .t Co., SIIJ.Oihi, partly in sured; Fitzsiiniiions ,fc Council, S 40,000, no insurance; Chicago A.

A light rain fell hero yesterday afternoon. It was not enough to do the crops any good, but It cooled tho atmosphere and broke tho heat which had been excessive for the past four days. Hon. Martin Mohler, Secretary of the State Hoard of Agriculture, said: "I have no information as to tho extent of the rain, but if it bad covered the whole State its benefits would be limited. un far thn corn is con cerned. There is much corn in all portions of the State, especially in the western and southern portions of the State, that Is totally beyond help, and no amount of rain could be of any benefit to it Thero is a larger area, of course, that is not so badly otf and that a good rain now would help, making a yield of, say, .SO to 40 per cent of a crop. In Eastern and Northern Kansas good rains now and for the next two wooks will give a yield of from 50 to 80 tier cent of an average crop. Aside from corn, however, rains will be of great benefit te all portions of tho State. Pastures aro scorched and water Is scarce. Good rains will start tho pastures afresh and may per haps produce a fair crop of late hay, which would be a flno thing for the farmers. The indications now are, as suming that the rain did not extend generally over tho State, that the hay crop will bo lighter In Kansas than In any season sinco 1SS7. Farmers will have to depend upon fodder largely for food this coming winter and they will bn wise if they follow my suggestion in the circular which 1 have just Issued and plant corn, millet and cane." STOCK ITEMS. If there is pot feed sufficient to keep the pigs growing, some of them should be sold. Unless cure Is taken stock bogs will begin to fall now, unless extra feed Is supplied. The failure to make sheep pay can, to a considerable extent, be traced to fail ure to give proper care. He well prepared to care for all of the fruit as fast as it ripens. There is no economy In allowing it to go to waste No sheep take on flesh more readily than the modern merinos. Six or eight weeks liberal feeding with grain is sullicient to makethetn rolling in fat Illomisbes, as well as diseases, are often transmitted to offspring, and for this reason it is very important to have . the sire, at least, as perfect as possible. Corn meal is not as good a food given alono as when the corn and cob are given together. The cob meal makes a greater bulk and it will be more thor oughly masticated than when the corn meal alone is fed. A writer in tho Western Stockman thinks that to raise sheep exclusively or mainly for wool or for mutton Is about as disastrous as to try to maintain In this country union without liberty or liberty without union. For spring pigs especially it will be better to depend upon the old sows They will usually give them better caro than the young sows, and generally the weather In tho spring is such that they will need good care. In arranging the shelter for tho stock, ventilation Isan Item that is often t er lookod, and yot it Is very important for tho health of the animals. Ihe best plan Is to fully provide ventilation w hen tho building is put up. Tho almost fabulous prices speedy trotters now sell for show that tho way to make tho most money raising trotters Is to develop them. In this way a green two-year-old that would probably fetch (000 or 1,000 in tho pasture is made to bring from -r, 000 to (10,000 with a few months' handling. The benefit Is three fold. It increases the value of the youngster, increases tho value of Its dam and makes tho siro woith moro money. Tho best breeders of merino sheep some years ago recognized the fact that tho sheep of eighty pounds shorn and put on the mutton market did not sell for as much as tho sheep twenty or twenty-five pounds heavier; io they gave attention to improv ing tho size by liberal feeding and selection of the largorewes aaud rams, saa that now the ewes In many merino fiK!ks weigh from 100 to l'JJi pounds and nhoar from twelve to twenty pounds, and the rams weigh from ISO to 1 5U pounds.

Tho cen sus man who was assigned the enumer ation of the Sea-Island coast of this State has made a most remarkable dis covery. Kiawah Island, some miles down tho coast is owned by two families of tho ante-bellum Sea Island barons. It had lioon thought to be uninhabited unli the census man visited it on offtciaw business. Ho expected to find there a handful of American citizens, white and black, but he was agreeably and wonder fully disappointed. He found a large black colony of about l."0 souls, and in making the tour of the island he, of course, expected to find tho population ignorant On the contrary, he had struck a region, the only one In tho world in which all the inhabitants were English Sieaking, reading and writing negroes. Every negro he met could read and write. Every child of suiteble j-ears could also read and write, and the women were just as intelligent as th men. All were prosperous and prospering under the wise rule of a mu latto cacique named Quash Stevens. ImMmI Northwest Crops. MlNNK.APol.ls, Minn., Aug. 1. The best authorities estimate the wheat cup of the present season in Pnkota and Minnesota at 100,000, oik) bushels. Colonel G. I). Rogers made a guess a year ago and although he started out 10,000 above all other crop prophets, bull or bear, be came out of the wheat campaign with colors 'g"i flying, for ho hit just a little un der the mark. President Greonleaf of the Chamber of Commerce is a prettv good prophet and he acroes wit ti Col, met Koirers as to the total production. He places Minnesota at 4".0O0.0oit bushels and the Dakotas atoo,0u0,0isj. It is not the quantity of land, hut tho management that determines the profit It will not pay to presume that the farm will pay as well without the use of brains as with them.

It is not necessary to thresh either sunflowers or sorghum. Tho heads can bo hung up and the fowls will take de light In picking out the seeds.

Appleton City (Mo.) Journal. Clover dies not leave the soil poorer than licfore, but increases its capacity for future crop productions. It is deep rooted and stands drought lu-tter than any other grass. It keeps the soil moist, and its roots open the subsoil, which makes plant-food moro available for other crops. Clover should bo cured, hut it must not be allowed to stand in the field after being cured, as too much sun causes It to "burn." It does not pay to stint your fields in seeding clover. Shade Iswanted for the good of the soil. Hence weeds grow where crops are thin. The roots of clover plants Invigorate the soil. Fine hay is worth more and is better flavored than the coarser. One ton of hay may not pay cost of production while two would make a profit Therefore it wi'l not pay to sow- less than one bushel of ?lover and t tnothy seed properly mixed, on every acre sown.
