SMITH DEALERS IN The United States taken as a. whole is an agricultural country and good or bad times' depend largely npoa the crops. Good crops means a revival of business and inernl activity all around. The business man in attempting to forecast the future, first considers the prop prospects, knowing that a bad season as to crops means a bad season for busines. Kansas has.

splendid crop 'prospects. wheat of this state is not up to former years, but bids fair to be an average yield, certainly enough to supply the home d'einiujd with some to spare. Corn, which is the great staple, is up to a full average, and even beyond that in other sections. On the whole there is no reason to fenr a failure to any of tbo staple products on which the prosperity of the west depends. The corn crop in Mis souri is full of promise and well advanced for the season, and tho question of wttat to with it all begins to present itself.

Throughout Minnesota and Dakota the crops have suffered slightly from drouth and frost, but the great staple, wheat, is uninjured. Except on a snull area of low lanS in the Red river valley there has been a deficiency of moisture all through the winter and spring. The soil was dry to begin with, and frequent and ample raius are needed to keep it in good growing condition through the summer. So far there has been moisture enough for present needs, the supply must be constant and abundant to prevent ill effects. Rain every two weeks at least through the growing seasons, is essential to the successful harvesting of a good springs wheat crops in Minnecsota and Dakota.

Leavenworth Times. Every editor has had his experience with delinquent subscribers. Most have fared ill with thcin, none well. A Georgia editor gives his, and while, it does not exactly tally with that of most oth-ess, there are very few in the profession who do not know enough on the subject to sympathize with him he says; "We borrowed a mule and buggy last week and started out to stir up our delinquent. We rode 25 miles the first day, had our new hat smashed by coining in contact with an 'overhanging limb, wore out a buggy whip that cost CO cents, and collected a dollar nud a half in cash and a bushel and a half of corn The second day we rode 23 miles and missed our dinner, dunned seventeen of our beloved patrons, and din't collect a cent.

The third day we arose at 4 o' clock a. missing our breakfast, lost twenty minuts trying to wake up Jim Alexander as we passed his house, rode twenty four miles and collected $4.50. The fourth day wo traversed the whole county, lost a goose one of our friends had given us for Christmas dinner and collected $3.50. We then came home, turned our mule out to and went to bead. If anybody wants to buy a good printing office, with ample assets and small liabilities, and fame, we are prepared to offer a bargain.

We have been tendered the position of night clerk in a brick hotel in Arkansas, and would be glad to accept if wo can work off our preseut enterprise on some unsuspecting citizen. In writing for information don't forget to enclose stamp that is, if a reply is expected. The Kansas fanner, published at To peka, now in its twenty-second year, a 16-page -agricultural paper, is unquestionably the best paper of its class in tb.i country for farmers of this State. Evory issue contains more or less matter specially prepared for it by farmers, stock raisers, dairymen, poultry and bee-keepers, horticulturists, and others engaged in the practical work of agriculture. The crop, slock and weather reports are specially valuable.

It pub lishes the Stray List for the entire State, and a copy is regularly mailed to every County Clerk's office for. filing. The editor was trained to farm life and work from his childhood, and he knows what farmers need. And there is al ways a page or more of the paper devo ted to matter for family reading. A copy of the Farmer can be seen at this office any time.

Terms per year. The regular subscription price of the Kansas Farmer is $1,50 a year; but we havo a special contract with the pub lishers by which wc are enabled to offer it in connection with the Democrat Watchman, both papers one year for $2,00.
