wool GBownra.
We have watched with considerable inter
rat the progress of this important industry;
and long (o we noted the probable devel
opment of the wool growing burioest. Oji
conjectures have proven correctly; and we
are pleased to see the growth of the wool
crowing interests. The correspondent of
the Leavenworth Timta writing from Larn
ed,iaj(: Wool growing haa become a lead
ing and profitable business in the Arkantu
Valley, and in no one county is it more
successfully prosecuted than in Pawnee. In
1878 there were 6,383 ehtep in the county,
being an increase over the number 1877 of
1,185. I hare not been able to procure the
figures as to the wool clip of 1878 and 1879,
bui for 1877 it amounted to 18,686 pounds.
The mild climate, the well watered country
and almost limillea) range make this coon
try a most suitable place to raise sheep. Al
ready the attention of leading ehtep men
has been attracted here, and Pawnee county
to-daT numbers among her farmers some of
the moot experienced and successful sheep
raisers in the country.
Samuel Archer, a breeder of thoroughbred
s beep and who is authority in such matters.
hits: "I regard the gruses of Central and
Southwestern Kansas as better than those of
Colorado, New Mexico or any portion of
the country on the west side of the plains.
The east side of the plains, Southwestern
Kansas, is undoubtedly the btst in every re
spect; the grasses growing thicker on the
ground and growing longer. The water fa
cilitits are much better in Southwestern
Kansas than any other section I know of in
the west. Another great advantage over
Northern Kansas and Colorado is the milder
winters, fewer storms and lighter wind?, thus
not calling for so much expense in providing
shelter and food.
G. II. Wadsworth, whose saeep farm ia
near Lamed, makes sheep raising his busi
ness. With him agricultural pursuits are of
secondary interest or consideration. Quoting
ftom a letter written by Mr. W. some time
since, in which he is relating his experience
with ahwp in the Arkansas Valley, he save:
"I fed the winter of 1876 about fifty tons of
bay, and some seven hundred bushels of
corn. My entire loss from disease during
the winter was lour head. The winter O,
1877 I fed thirty-five tons of hay and five
hundred bushels of corn, and my loss for
the year was only per cent. I am using
the Spanish Merino bucks. I have sold the
past two years $3,375 woith of wool, and
3,713 worth of sheep.
Sir. Wadsworth agrees with Mr. Archer
In what he says in regard to this being the
best portion of Kansas in which to raise
sheep. He says: "I do not eee how any
one in the Eastern States can compete with
those here in the production of wool it
Mfe so much to winter stock where there .
CCSUEg
is no winter range, and requiring to moch
high-priced land to feed upon in summer."
King & Kjder started in earlj this spring
near Larned, with 500 head of very fine
sheep. Their flock it in very fine shape,
sheuing a little over eight pounds each this
season.
As a fhtep and wool-growing country
cone belter can be found on this continent
than is to be found right here in the Tails;
ot the Arkansas Valley, in the very heart oi
which lie the lands of the Atchison, Topeka
and Sinta Fe Railroad company, and mil
lions of acres invite sheep raisers to come
.and occupy them.

HAY.
The Leavenwjrtb Times' correspondent
writes of one of the future industries of the
Arkansas Valley, a subject we have before
referred to. lie eiyi: Another leading in
dustry in Pawnee county just now (of which
I may call it such) in hay. One firm alone,
Lowrey. Boyd & Curlett, of Lamed, are
shipping 200 tons per month; thi hay is
worth at Larned from $3 0 tu a 5 60 prr
ton. This firm lt.n n-ccmly purchased an
right-borse power steam pros, of the latest
and most approved pattern, at an expense ol
$2,000. The enterprise ol the firm is to be
commended. Their daily expenses amount
to $50- Their markets are at Las Vegbs,
Canon City, Pueblo, Ltadfille and Denver,
Only the very best quality of hay is pressed,
the inferior being sold to the proprietors of
the flouring mill, who Use the same for fuel.
Educating the Indians.
The Wichita Beacon says the Indian Com
raisiioner haa selected six boys and four
girls, from the Arapaboe tribe; sixteen boys
and four girls from the Cheyenne, to te
educated. They came up with the wagon
train and were on their war to Carlisle, Pa.
They were all examined by Dr. Hodge, U
0. A., and passed a euccessml examination
as to health and physical condition. The
majority of them were dresed iu civilized
dress and looked clean and bright.
It seems to the Beacon that the Govern
ment has at last chosen the most effective
way of civilizing the Indian, in selecting
the young for training, and removing them
beyond the daily contact and influence of the
breech-clout Indian'. In a few years they
can be sent back as native ml sionaries, and
in such numbers that they will have a social
and moral power not possessed by the few.
A good work is also being done at the agen
cy. The older Indians are gradually be
coming Self-reliant and docile, and while
the progress is slow, yet from year to year
we can see a decided improvement.
