Johnson Williams, of Ashland, re cently sent a rair of jack rabbits to a noted oculist in Philadelphia, to be used in a curious experiment. It is proposed to remove the eyes from one of the rat) bits and insert them in blind man's head, to give him sight At first we thought Mr.

Williams was endeavoring to perpetrate a joke on us, by his story, having never before heard of anything of this kind: but he assures us that he speaks advisedly, b'iug acquainted with all tbe facts in the case, and that he will report as soon as he hears what has been tbe result of the experiment. The rabbits sent were pets, caught when they were young. Mr. Williams says the grown jack rabbit is one of the meet difficult animals to capture alive. The Stingley sale Saturday.

A Word et Caution. A recent Abilene associated press dispatch contains some ill advised "boom" utterances about proposed beet-sugar experiments in centra Kansas, by Dr. Scbeidtweiler, of Ger many. We feel in duty bound to caution the people and press of the State about endorsing this gentleman The authorities of the Experiment Station at the College had an extended conference with the Doctor, and after partially arranging with him to work under their direction, were compelled, by reason of his intemperate habits, to "withdraw all endorsement of his ellorts." The following authoritative declaration in the lest Industrialist should be a sufficient warning to all The Station Council has found it im possible to work with Dr. Scheidtweiler in the beet culture, and withdraws all en dorsement of his elTorls.

Although apparently well-informed, he cannot, on account of personal habits and peculiarities, render the service which is desired. The Stingley eale Saturday. Fine niixtd candy, 12Jc, at Alleu's.

The Seventh Biennial Report. The seventh biennial report of the State Board of Agriculture has reached our table. It consists of 530 pages being considerably smaller than any of its predecessors, owing to the limited appropriation fur this purpose by the legislature of 1SSS. Part first 2S; pages reports by counties tho popu lation, production, assessed valuation, indebtedness, farm and crop statistics, live stock, churches, and the denomi national and public schools. The next 75 pages preheat tabular statements by counties of crop statistics, live stock, orchards, small fruits.viueyards, and artificial forests.

A brief synopsis of the proceedings of the Board is succeeded by the contributed papers, which occupy the remainder of the volume, and are perhaps the most valuable features of the book. We give herewith the subjects and authors: "Geology of Kansas by Robert Hay, Junction City. "Loco Weeds," by L. E. Sayre, University of Kansas.

"The Public Schools of Kansas," by John McDonald, Topeka. "Irrigation in Western Kansas: ItsWa ter Supply and Possibilities," by Robert Hay. "The Sugar Imltistry of Kansas," by Geo. Kellogg, SU-iiins State Sugar Inspector. "What Does Science Teach us iu Stock- Feeding by Prof.

An alphabeti list of post-offices in the State, Jan 1st, 1891. Attached to the book is an official map of the State, issued by the State Board of Agriculture. It is a matter of regret that these invaluable statistics and contributed articles cannot be put within the reach of every intelligent, progressive citizen in the State. This information having been gathered at great expense, seems to us that it is a short-sighted policy which does not provide for the very widest dissemination of it among the people. Proper economy in State printing would partially remedy this matter.

Wo believe that the State Board could take the same money which was paid to the State Printer this seventh biennial report and double the edition, by letting the work to the lowest responsible bidder We shall often have occasion to refer to the report in these columns The Stingley sale Saturday.
