About Wheat Growing in Kan-
sas.
Mr. T. G Henry, Whose large crop of
wheat last year has been frequently men-
tioned in these columns, writes to the
Abilene Chronicle as follows ; " I do not
reside on my farm, neither do I claim to
be a farmer in the ordinary,sense of the
word. I make wheat raising a specialty
upon my farm. Everyoperation connect•
ed therewith, from the time theprairie
is first broken until the grain is in mar-
ket, is done wholly by contract,those em-
ployed furnishingthemsetves,in every par-
ticular. The method of operation ,is as
fellows : The prairie is broken during the
months of May and June, tntmay be pro-
longed till the middle -/of July. By the
20th of August the sod is once thorough.
ly harrowed over, it being wholly unnec-
essary to replow the ground.. Then the
seed at the rate of one bushel to the acre
is scattered broadcast, and the seeding ie
completed by two more harrowin s, mak-
ing a total cost, so far, including the seed,
. of per acre. By the 20th of , the fol-
lowing June the grain is ready for har-
vesting, which can be hired clone o with
headers at the c•'st of $2 per acre, induct-
ing the stacking. 'Threshing costs eight
cents per bushel, and the expense of mar-
keting depends, of course, 'upon the die-
to ice hauled. if the grain yields 20
btishels per acre, which is a low average,
and the distance from town not more than
three miles, total cost, $4 more being add-
ed to the cost of seeding aggregates $fl •
pet: acre. The wheat averages rather
above $1 per bushel, so that a clear profit
of $11 per acre remains, and everylhing
hired done. The straw, to a tartar, is
worth $2 per acre -for stock feed. A
second crop can be grown at an outlay of
not more 50 cents per acre aside from i
seed, the mere cost of drilling the grain
upon the ground without the necessity
of replowing, having taken the precaution
to clear the land of all the litter by burn-
ing off its stubble. The ground is so fer-
tile that even three crops of wheat may
be grown n --succession on one plowing,
and that the first one. Two years ago I
put in 500 acres, ;put uing the foregoing
method. My yield was 19 bushels to the
acre, it sold at 90 cents per bushel, wheat
in 1875 having borne lower price than
was ever known here before ; it after-
ward,,during the following winter, ad-
vanced to $1 15 per bushel. I have just
finished threshing 26,800 bushels as the
yield.of 1,200 acres, an entire average of
22A bushels to the acre, which I have
sold at $1 051 pet bushel, making a total
net profit of $18,974. My straw is worth
fully $1,500 more, and land is increased
in value at least $5 per acre from being
placed under cultivation. By this you
will see the result of my own experience

The glowing accounts of the farm :pro-
ucts of California are very captivating to
the Northern farmer, whose labors yield
no such income as' those that reward the
husbandman—we believe ranchero is
what they call him—of the Golden State
But before allowing the Pacific fever t
get control of him, the Northern farm
should bear in mind that the condition
of California farming are very differen
from those that sue -mind hire here, Th
controlling farm ! interests are in th
hands of a limited number of inimens
land -owners, with whom competition i
a small way would be difficult, an
whose system must ever deprive rare
life ofthe social attractions which pervad
a community of small farmers. . Ther
are in California' 122 farms contaiuin
20.000 acres and upward ; ,158 that co
twin from 10,000 to 20,000 each, and 23
containing 5,000 to 10,000 each.' Mos
of the desirable lands not under 'cultiva
tion are in the hands of speculators and
land -grabbing monopolists, rendering; it
difficult for a man with limited' capital to
make a"desirable location.
To illustrate the mode of farming
which brings the captivating returns we
read of, we_ may describe the mode of
plowing : Gang plows are used; which
consist of four, six, or eight plowshares
fastened to a frame of wood, to which
there are about as many horses attached
as there are p-lowshares. One such team
of six or eight horses will put in nearly
or quite 100 acres of wheat to the horse
in -the sowing season, On heavy lands..
the area would be reduced by about a
third. The plow requires no chiding,
only a careful drive. The seed is sown
by a machine at the rate of 100 res a
day, and is then harrowed in. Now, if
one has the capital to secure the land and
the horses and machines, and to support
the dashing outfit until a crop isi made,
he may do well in California ; but the
average youth in. our rural districts who
reads the marvelous tales of ranch life on
the Pacific had better be content with
the slow rewards of life on the old home-
stead.

Timidity of Great Men.
Tnrenne, being asked whether he was
frightenedat the beginning of battle,
said, . " Yes, I sometimes feel great ner-
vous excitement, but there are ninny sub-
altern officers and soldiers who feel none
whatever !" Conde 'was much agitated
in his first/campaign. s' My body trem-
bles," he said, "with the actions my
soul meditates 1" Frederic .the Great, at
Molwitz, gave but little promise of ever
becoming a soldier. It is reported of one
of the ablest friends of %S ashington that,
in his first battle, his nerves :quite gave
way, and that hehad to be held to his
post by two s'ildiers ; it was as if the he-
ro's legs tried to carry him- off in spite of
himself. It is obvious to remark that
distinguished men, ,'a hole nerves• have
thus completely broken down, may thank
their stars for being distinguished.
Much _ is forgiven them, for they did
much service. Had they been common.
soldiers, they would have received
as little indulgence for the automatic ac
tion of their feet, as the poor receive
for the malady of kleptomania. There
is, however, a special reason why allow-
ance should be made for' generals whose
presence of mind has 'failed them. A pri-
vate has only to shut his eyes to danger,
and to confront it with that " Chien de
courage," of which a great commander
spoke with envious disparagement, But
the skilled courage of a general is a vir-
tue of a very different order, He must
as it were, have two selves. In delibera-
tione he must calculate the -exact amount
of danger to which he exposes his troops
