They report that the exodus will set in in dead earnest the latter part of October, and where one went this spring five will go this fall. The movement, however, will not be confined to Kansas, bu all Western States will receive accessions.’’ A farmer in South Georgia has rescued his cornfield from cows by steeping some grain in alcohol.
