It seems that there are otner paying industries in this section of Kansas besides that of raising grain or stock. A farmer in Ellsworth county, near Kanopolis, last spring, planted some thirteen acres into watermelons. From that field he disposed of over fifty loads of melons that averaged him over $lo a lead, or in other words, thirteen acres of melons have so far yielded the owner the neat sum of 87oO, and the crop not all gathered yet.

A ready market for this fruit can always be found. Now there are several farms in this county that can produce good melons, and as it is a far more profitable crop than grain, Ave do not see why more fanners do not avail themselves of the advantages which lies dormant at their own door. are rich with herds and flocks.

There are thousands in all the states east of the Mississippi river who are discontented with their prospects and their success, who have made up their minds to seek homes in Kansas.

There is every reason to believe that Kansas will see a greater immir gration during the next six months than has ever poured into her limits. Letters and papers from the east foreshadow this.

Call. Prof. Foster, of the Burlington Ilawkeye weather bureau, thinks we have passed the drouth years and 18S8 will afford the usual amount of rainfall. He says: "We are satisfied that 1887 is the last drouth year for several years to come. We have had two years of drouth, as predicted by the writer, predictions based upon the principles and date of planetary meteorology.

Reasoning on the same basis of principles we reached the conclusion that next year, and for four or five succeeding years, will be of the ordinary character as to humidity in the Mississippi valley, and pretty generally throughout the United States, but with an increasing tendency to dryness in the eastern states."

It should be read and pondered over by every young man starting in business: man of honor! What a glorious title that is. Who would not rather have it than any kings can bestow? It is worth all the gold and silver in all the earth. He who merits it wears a jewel within his soul and needs none upon his bosom. His word is as good as his bond. If there were no law in the land, one might deal just as safely with him; to take unfair advantage is not in him; to quibble and guard his speech, that he leads others to suppose that he means something that he does not mean, even while they can never prove that it is not so, wrould be impossible to his frank nature.

His speeches are never riddles. He looks you in the eye, and says straight out the thing he has to say, and does unto others as he would others should do unto him.
