TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society Stake House TRUTHS! It is strange how some men act in life. Governor Hoch, before leaving for the East to launch the battleship Kansas, went to the inspiring spring where the martyred John Brown, the abolitionist and life long friend of humanity, used to go and draw up water to quench his thirst, and sought there a bottle of water to christen the "Kansas." Did he seek the water from the famous spring in memory of John Brown and the cause he died for? Did he go there for inspiration to the men of the battleship Kansas? If so, why did he not think of going to the spring for like inspiration before signing the infamous act of the last legislature—"The separate high school bill for the city of Kansas City, Kansas?" Could John Brown speak from the dead, or return from the grave and find Hoch at the spring of the water of inspiration (Hoch's spring of inspiration) he he would remind him of his infamous deed to the children of those loyal black men who cast their ballots for him and the perpetuation of the Republican party. I suggest to the thousands of black voters of Kansas that before the next gubernatorial election as many as can go to the famous spring where John Brown used to go after many weary hours of study how to rescue from human bondage the enslaved millions, that they, perchance, may commune with the spirit of the martyr, and hear from him those words, "down, down down with the tyrant." Hoch may get the nomination for governor, but woe be unto him and the party that will force him upon the black voters of Kansas. --- The conference of some of the leading Negroes of the country, recently held at Niagara, N. Y., has stirred up the southern hornet's nest. As an evidence that the conference was a noble one, and the ideas set forth were good the press of the South as a whole denounced the leader of the movement as a breeder of mischief. If the conference had praised the white South for its criminal acts and condoned the biabolical lynchings and burnings at the stake, and commended the numerous acts of robberies by the "landlords" of the South, the southern press would have called the leader a good "nigger." To know the southern pulse is to gather an assemblage of intelligent and manly Negroes and devis ways and means to ameliorate the conditions confronting the oppressed Negroes of the country. The Niagara conference has adjourned and issued an address to the country, indorsed by the leading northern dailies as a sound and wise move on the part of the manly and intellectual Negroes, and denounced by the southern press as a vicious conference. The common belief of Carmack, Fillman, Vardaman and their kindred is that.'a Negro should aspire no higher than the field of cotton, corn, potatoes and hemp; therefore the denunciation by the southern press when a Negro burns his overalls, breaks his hoe, whips old "Beck" for the last time and bids farewell to the old plantation for a higher sphere. May the Niagara conference be long lived. God grant it. Mr. Editor, do you know Chas. Scott, the sage of Rosedale, Miss.? A few weeks ago you ably touched a leader vein in his body. Had you gone a little deeper the vital vein would have oozed the lifegiving stream. Well, I believe I know the southern planter, at this late day a rank Negro hater. Charles Scott owns many thousands of acres of land in what is commonly called the Mississippi Delta. He lives in a beautiful and spacious mansion in the town of Rosedale. He is loved by the beings he seems to have. They honor and respect Charlie, though he will smite them without a reasonable cause. He is a lawyer of prominence, and efficient. He is lord of his creation—his vast domain. He belongs to the dead past, the antebellum regime, and his memory goes back to those cruel days when he owned so many human beings as chattels; when at a word of command thousands obeyed his voice and did his bidding; when thousands worked from sun up to sun down without remuneration for the labor performed. It is said by the Negroes who wore owned by the Scotts that they were very cruel in the days gone by. Why does Charles Scott hate the Negro laborer and now seek Italian emigrants? The fact is the tide has changed. The Negroes of Rosedale and vicinity are intelligent and industrious. They have been brought in contact with civilization, and will not work for the price Charles Scott and the rest of the ranters offer them. They are not content to work for "old Massa" any more for nothing. They love Mr. Scott, and hate him because he wishes them to work for nothing. That's the reason Mr. Scott goes to Italy for laborers. Another thing; Mr. Scott does not like for a black man to figure with him, and if a Negro goes to the gin with a bale of cotton and watches the scales whom is it being weighed also displeases Mr. Scott, and if one should ask Mr. Scott the weight of a bale of cotton he takes it as an insult. Mr. Scott also has a big commissary store and he pays his hands in scrip, and they go to to the store and cash this scrip at a discount—he doesn't pay much for labor anyhow—and the Negro gets the worst of it at both ends. These commissary stores of the South are the great systems of gentlemanly robberies. If there be an institution that the government should legislate against this system of the southern commissary stores should be the first to fall under the ban. May I say there is no conception of the amount of money of which the poor defenseless colored farmers of the South is thus robbed by the laudlords. Millions of dollars yearly is the price paid by the blacks into the coffers of these Negro hating whites of the South. Italian or foreign emigration will prove a great blessing to the masses of Negro laborers in the South. It will help them to fully emancipate themselves. The white laborer will not be treated as the black man has been, and it will be a sad day for the South when the foreign laborer takes the place of the Negro. God hail the blessed day. Outraged womanhood and black manhood will shout for joy when Charles Scott's plantation is filled with white farmers. The enslaved blacks will be delivered, and wages will be higher. The black man will draw inspiration by daily contact with his free-born alien brother, and will feel that he is a man and will go to Charles Scott in a manly attitude and demand honest pay for the labor performed. He will learn to value a shotgun in defense of his outraged home. Mr. Scott and his like will not invade his home as they have done. God hail the day! Pray for it. I have painted but a dim picture of this vile man, Scott, and his surroundings. I know him, for I have worked for him. I renovated a smoky chimney for his wife a few years ago. I know him and the condition of the Negroes around him. Some Negroes he can bulldoze and others he dare not attempt to either bulldoze or rob. More anon. Yours for the right. A. O. Cutchon, 1335 Van Bured St. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 25, 1906. SCHOOL SITUATION SUNNY KANSAS! Rev. H. B. Parkas, D. D., Awakes and Presents a Few Pungent Remarks About Kansas and Her School Troubles—He Does Not Thoroughly Understand the Spirit of Kansas. Below we publish a clipping from The Voice of Missions, edited by Rev. H. B. Parks, D. D., who now seems to have awakened from his Rip van Winkle sleep and is beginning to put some good, strong, sensible editorials in that magazine which will be of some interest to the people of this country. The idea of devoting a Christian journal entirely to political matters and heathen in foreign countries, when there are plenty right at our very doors in this country, has been a mystery to us. Dr. Parks criticises the action of the Negroes of Kansas City, Kansas in not manifesting more interest in trying to defeat the high school bond, which is a just retribution. We are of the opinion that there is a certain class of Negroes in that city who are playing hide and seek in this matter and are trying to manipulate school teaching for this institution, in order to make a soft job for some one on the imagination of fooling the prejudiced white people. We trust that Dr. Parks will assist the people who are loyal to the cause of right and freedom in Kansas City, and who wish to take the matter to a higher court so that justice may be meted out to all alike, with some funds for this great work. We must compliment The Voice of Missions upon its edition for the beautiful cut and mention of that dignified and Christian gentlemen, Bishop A. Grant, D. D., of the Fifth Episcopal district; also of Prof. Vernon, D. D., president of Western University and next Register of the Treasury and Mrs. Ella Braxton, of the Woman's Mite Missionary society of Kansas, who is one of the most highly cultured ladies of the West, and is doing much to strengthen the A. M. E. church. Rev. F. J. Peck, also, one of the strongest ministers of the West, and Prof. John H. Jackson, who is getting out his second edition of history of Education. This distinguished gentleman resides in Colorado Springs, and is one of the best educators in the West. We are glad that The Voice of Mission has at last found some valuable and useful brain in the West. "From time to time we have insisted that class legislation was imimical to the best interests of any commonwealth and nation under a democratic form of government. From this position we have no great oause to change, especially in these remarkable times, when for the protection of trust magnates and the giant combinations that are playing havoc with the financial interests and civil rights of the citizens in the metropolitan centers throughout the country as well as pauperizing unnumbered thousands in every community, such decisions and enactments as allow them to pursue their destructive methods are had; we certainly feel fully pemuaded that no one thing is better calculated to destroy the foundation of our government and breed disord and anarchy than class legislation. Its insidious methods are seen and felt in every state of the Union, while its effects, like an eating cancer are corrupting the morals and business integrity of the best people of the land and sowing broadcast the seed of contempt for law and order. The recent decision in the Supreme court of Kansas against the will of the people to protect the own interests by developing their oil industries that they might enjoy the benefits to be accrued therefrom, instead of allowing them to go to the oil trust, is but another demonstration of the hold that the thing has in this country. We are no less opposed to any one form of class legislation than to another. Whether it be to foster and make greater the privileges of a few financial magnates who control wheat crops of the West, the meat markets, the coal mines, the cotton crops, the railroads, or the would-be aristocracy of the Bouebonistic South that would regulate a certain class of its citizens to Jim crow cars upon the public highway, exclude decent and reputable citizens from all public eating houses or the infamous hate that would separate Negro children from the High school in Kansas. They are one and all species of injustice founded upon hatred, oppression, outrage and wrong, and have no place in democracy that can claim the respect and win the patriotism of a thinking and truth loving people. We were surprised at the editor of THE TOPEMA PLAINDEALER in his onslaught upon the governor of Kansas, in that he contend that he is a one-terminer who should be put out of office because, for instance, he signed the act creating the separate High School for the Negro children of Kansas City, Kans. The good editor seems to forget that the governor stated that it was a bad law, but that conditions justified his signature. Does the PLAINDEALER not know that these matters, after all, are in the hands of the voters, and that they must regulate them? We are informed that after the law had been passed by the Kansas legislature, that before it could become effective the voters of Wyandotte county had to vote the bonds with which to erect the school. That upon election day less than five hundred votes were cast against these bonds which virtually created the school; and that these votes which were cast against the bonds were cast by the white people, or at least the majority of them, while the Negroes paid no attention to them whatever. It is stated that even the Negro politicians sulked in their tents and that it was a difficult matter to find a Negro on the streets until election was over. The fact is, according to the report that comes to this office, notwithstanding all that Brother Chiles has had to say in condemnation of poor Governor Hoch and the abuse that he heaps upon him now as well as in the past, that the Negroes themselves were too cowardly to go to the polls and record their protest against this wanton outrage of their constitutional rights as men and citizens of a commonwealth whose historic record for fair and just treatment to its citizens stands the equal of any commonwealth in the republic. Some might argue that there was no necessity for the Negroes of Wyandotte county to vote against the bonds, that the legislature had passed the law, and that the school would be open whether the bonds were voted or not. Such twaddle is equalled only by the babble of a mad man. If, indeed, that was true, the people would never have been called upon to vote the bonds, for it was evident that the county had not the money, or it would not have asked for it. Even if they had not needed the money and the school would have opened anyway, in the name of all that is just, where is the spirit of freedom and manhood rights in the leaders of the race who clamor for the support and recognition of their people, that it did not compel them to rise up in the majesty of a pure manhood, fired by love of race and right, that the power of hell itself could not move, and register their unqualified protest against this wrong? We have little sympathy with a people who will not help themselves, for no man has a right to have greater respect for another than he has for himself. The cowardly Negroes in Wyandotte county, Kansas, cannot plead intimidation and Southern bulldozing as an excuse for their neglect to protect themselves or to protest against the meanest, the vilest, the most unjust and unconstitutional enactment which has been placed upon the statute book of that state in in forty years. No man or set of men that would stand quietly by, as did the Negro politicians and so-called leaders in the above instance, are worthy of the name. We care not what they contend to the contrary, notwithstanding. There are conditions in some sections of this Republic where our people are powerless to help themselves, but that is not true in Kansas, and if the Negro children and their children's children's children are to be cursed for the next fifty years with an inferior High school, history will show that their fathers and would-be leaders when it was in their power to protest against it, remained at home and neglected to do so. Of course, we have no love for unfaithfulness in office, and the wanting of manly courage to do the right in any executive officer, much less Governor Hoch, and if we are not very much mistaken, Kansas can be depended upon to give its case the treatment it so richly deserves when the time comes. We would not stop, however, and make the governor the scapegoat, for it is to be remembered that he did not vote, and therefore should not have to bear all the blame. The thing to do is to pay proper attention to the enactors who made it possible for the governor to sign this bill. We hope that the editor will not lose sight of this important matter, for in our mind it takes preeminence, and the slogan should be "avenge the wrongs of my people," "THE HINDREED HAND" BY SUTTON E. GRIGGS. The Orion Publishing Company of Nashville, Tenn., announces that it now has ready for issuance a novel entitled "The Hindered Hand" from the pen of Sutton E. Griggs. Mr. Griggs first appeared before the public in the role of an author in the spring of 1899 at which time his "Imperium in Imperio" was issued. That book attracted marked attention from many of the ablest thinkers of the country and focussed the eyes of the public on Mr. Griggs as a man destined to be heard from. "Overshadowed" and "Unfettered" were the two next books to come from Mr. Griggs' pen, increasing the expectancy of the public concerning his work. The publishers of "The Hindered Hand" are of the opinion that those who, years ago, contended that a great future awaited Mr. Griggs as an author will find their prophecies fulfilled in this book. Before issuance its pages were submitted to some eminent thinkers and the one verdict has thus far been that the second "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been written and that "The Hindered Hand" is that book. It was Mr. Griggs' aim to make "The Hindered Hand" the final word in the plea of his race for equality of citizenship in the United States and the very competent judges who have thus far passed on the book are of the opinion that his ambition has been realized. The book is bound in cloth, contains 305 pages and will retail for $1.10 per copy, postage prepaid. ORION PUBLISHING CO. NADHVILLE TENN. --- NUMBER 33. ABILITY COUNTS NOT COLOR! Slowly but surely the people are being recognized by ability and not by their nationality. The newspapers in big glaring headlines last week said, "White Woman on Arm; Booker Washington leads Wanamaker's Daughter to Dinner." This was telegraphed over the onsite country for no other purpose than to attempt to engender bad feelings between races. Great stress is laid on that word "white." This seems to be the ideal God of the weak-minded whites of this country to attempt to perpetuate themselves above all other races. The escorting of the daughter of Mr. Wanamaker to dinner by Prof. Washington was not anything out of the ordinary and it is in keeping and in touch with those who see fit to entertain and enjoy the company of those who suit them. As Washington was the invited guest of Mr. Wanamaker, we commend him for having the nerve, courage and ability to enter his guest in such a manner as was befitting in the face of a class of semi-dazed guests at the hotel who seem to have been mildly unconscious for a few moments; but after they found that the party was a colored man of dignity and ability and the white lady was one of culture and refinement, and that they were the guests of a gentleman of wealth, Christianity and common sense, which should go to make a well thinking man, all the lookers-on returned to their proper senses. The American people are proud of Prof. Washington, for he has not only done much for the upbuilding of a race who have been outraged for centuries by the whites and who were defrauded of education and all that goes to make great citizens, but who have also done much to enlighten the white man and place him in the proper channel for continued growth and prosperity. While it is not pleasant to call attention to the color question, yet in some instances it works to our advantage. Throughout the South, and in many of our northern cities, colored people are discriminated against in the dispensing of soda water and other refreshing drinks that help to make the hot days endurable. As a result of such exclusion, a number of enterprising young men, and a few young women, have educated themselves as first-class pharmacists and have opened up to-date drug stores, which reflect credit not only upon themselves but also upon their alma mater. To young men about to enter the professional field, it might be well to call their attention to the great demand for first-class colored pharmacists, such as are yearly graduated from Howard University Pharmaceutical College. The secretary of this college is flooded with each week letters from all parts of the country, asking him to supply this or that city with a duggist. Good men receive high salaries, as most of the graduates of Howard University Pharmaceutical College are either propsietors of drug stores or already hold well-paying positions. In fact so anxious are the colored people in the cities of the South for drug stores of their own that the only thing the right kind of man needs is the ability to pass the state board of examiners, as the following letter, which is one of the many received, will show: Can you recommend a first class colored druggist from Howard who will come to West Virginia, take examination and assume control of a drug stbra? He need not have any capital. Respectfully yours, W.

Qox, steward of the B, P.O. E. at that place, and Walter Majors, the mechanical genius of Missouri. Mr. Cox was bornin Boon county, Missouri in the early seventiea and was idenNfied with the farmingin- tereats of thatcounty until he aench- ed the age of twenty years, at which tims he moved to Springfield, and through siriot adherence to all du- ties imposed, together with a desire for promotion, has reached a posi- tyon unheard of before fn the history of Missouri, chief steward of the Elks of that place, In this capacity Mr. Cox does all buying, hiring aud giving, and handles considernble moneys that necessarily is expended in caring forthe club. He is cour- teous and posite, and well liked by allof Springfield’s people. He has a wife and one child who grace his cozy home at610 Washington. He isamember of Eureka lodge, No. 39, A. ¥, and A. M., of Springfiefd, and a prominent leader in the Bap- tist church. Springfield justly must be proud of his reudeace within her borders. Below we produce the likeness of that genius who on May 6. 1904, etartled all Missouri by speeding down the principal street of Spring- fieldin an up-to-ilate, automobile, all parts of which were made by this Negro genius, Walter Majure. Mr, Majors also bears the distine- tion of being onw of the best all around electricians in the state of Missouri, and his knowledge in this Jine has removed the barrier that under ordimary circumstances pro- hibits Negroes from walking beside their whitebrother, He has worked insome of the best shops in St, Lovia and is at present one of the proprietors atthe Bicycle Repair. ing and Novelty Works at 322 Bt.

The tree thet is planted over am tay pervious sabsoll may do well if it is om & eidebill that will permit the water to run off through the soll that Ves above the subsoil. But on other kinds of land the subsoil, if imper vious, will cause the trees to grow slowly and bear fruit Ilghtly, Bad drainage and impervious subsoils largely go together, We bave seen land thrt waa frial aon top and down a ite way was composed of a layer of stones and cla) so closely inter mixed that it almost seemed tbat & great fire had melted them and they bad run together, 1f auch subsoll can: not be Improved it {ts better to put the frutt trees in some other place. ‘The surest way to improve the sub soll ts by drainage That lowers the water table fn the soil iu winter and lete the frost In to pulverize the ground. Where the lend ie undrained the water table protects all the soll below it from the action of frost. We bave known of clay soile through which the drains were dug to a depth of four feet. For a year or two it did Rot seem to make much difference with the general character of the soil, for the frost had not had time to work, But after the frost for two or three winters had got {n to the soll the whole character of the ground seemed to be changed.

Every once in awhile we find « man that believes in leaving frult trees ‘lone, permitting nature to do as she wishes to with them. He generally says that the sprouts on trees, espe cially the water sprouts should not be cut off. We think that if thie man had to raise grapes he would get very few of them. Nature does not have to be fed ané clothed, and therefore {@ uot com cerned with focrearing the fruitfulness of trees and plants beyond the point where they will propagate themaelvea But man has greater needs and rurces the tree and plants to stop protuctng In ond direction and go to producing In another, The great fruitfulmsse of trees cared for by man fs merely due to the diversion of growth forces from owe direction to another, A tree that fs planted and cared for by man does Ret (ake in more nouriehment thas does another tree that Is left to the @irection of nature. But the nourish: ment thet {a taken In is made to ge iato the formation of things man cas eet rather than into the formation of weog and leaves, which be cannot eat, The Creator bas placed In the bands of man the power of directing the proceases of nature to a consider able extent. Man prunes o tree only te make it expend ita energies in the Grult buds and so gives him more fruit. We should not leave things te nature, for in the main nature cares wothing for us.

Bishop Abraham Grant of the Fifth Episcopal district of the A. M.E. church, preached a grand and noble sermon at St. John's A.M.E. church, Rev. J. F. C. Taylor, pastor, last Sunday morning. By his noble sermon five members were added to the church. Bishop Grant is a strong pulpit orator, a Christian of pure motives and is doing much to build up humanity. He is idolized by the people of the West and especially in Kansas. The people of Topeka are always glad to welcome him and he cannot make his visits too frequent. His subject Sunday was "Faith," and he presented several very interesting illustrations of Peter and others of the disciples of Christ, and those who followed the bishop through the discussion were well repaid for their attendance. He gave several descriptive illustrations of the Savior and the power of Christ in the land. He addressed the Y. M. C. A. in the afternoon in their hall which was attended by over two hundred young men, who received some wholesome instruction which, if followed, will be of advantage to them and others dependent upon them in the future. In the evening Bishop Grant preached at Brown's Chapel on Washington street of which Rev. Gambie is pastor. The church was crowded to overflowing numbers, many being forced to stand on the outside, but still they were glad to catch the words of joy and comfort which fell from the lips of this venerable divine.

GRAND LODGE OF The Corinthian grand lodge of the order of the Good Samaritans closed its grand session at Leavenworth, with the largest attendance for many years. The sessions were most interesting. One among the important things done was the increasing of the endowment, which is now on a reliable basis. Several laws and amendments were made which will strengthen the order to such an extent that it is safe to say it is one of the strongest financial fraternities in the West. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: T. W. Bell, past grand chief; Anna Britt, past presiding daughter; W. B. Carter, grand chief; Emma McNary, presiding daughter; Charles Hawkins, vice chief; Eliza Graves, daughter of fount; Jennie Baker, prelate; Mrs. Hazelridge, daughter of lessons; J. W. Jones, treasurer; P. C. Thomas, custodian; Miss Henderson, lecturer, Anna Ferguson, assistant lecturer; Laura Harlan, secretary; Pelican Lytle, assistant secretary; R. T. Bright, conductor; Anna Moore, assistant conductor. The grand lodge adjourned to meet at Topeka in August, 1906. JOPLIN. MO The Twentieth Century club of Baptist church gave a social at the church Tuesday evening. A birthday surprise party was given upon Mrs. Cope last Saturday evening by members of the Baptist church. We never before in our lives encountered so many trashy, common looking, ohery, poor white people as a stranger will see in Joplin. Liquor and crime and crookedness are the idols they worship—no ambition, no desire for higher living. Even in the stores and in the postoffice the clorks have not that polish in appearance, well groomed and tidy makeup as you see elsewhere. This is the class of whites who are the cruel and anxious persecutors of the intelligent and upright Negroes. As you further go outh, it is said, they grow even worse. Lord, help Prof. Albert Ross addressed the congregations of the churches of Joplin and Galena last Sunday. He found several young men and ladies from the zinc and lead mining fields preparing to go to Greater Western University" next month. Emancipation day, Sept 22, will be celebrated by a grand free barbecue at Midway park. There will be good speaking, good music and plenty of refreshments. The musical and literary jubilee week at the A. M. B. church began Monday evening and nightly entertainments were given, including a nail driving contest, a baby show and a masquerade. Sunday an old fashioned basket meeting and rally will be held during the day. At 8.30 p.m. there will be a sacred concert and mortgage burning. It will be the second anniversary of worship in the beautiful church given by Mr. Thos. Connor, a rich white mine owner. Mr. Arthur Young, formerly of Topeka, lives in Joplin and looks fat and happy, and he has a fine little son toddling around with him. The alarm caused by yellow and malaria fever is causing many of the students of the South to look toward the North and "Greater Western University" this year. IOLA. KANS. Sunday, the 13th, was a grand day in our city, it being the occasion of Dr. Bass' grand rally. Bishop A. Grant arrived on the 12th and was the guest of Dr. Bass, Rev J. R. Ransom was present and delivered a good logical sermon at 11 o'clock and at 3 o'clock Bishop Grant delivered a wonderful sermon. He was at himself and took for a text Isaiah 40:12, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," and our hearts did burn within us from the fire of his words, and when he had concluded he extended an invitation to the unconverted for prayer and nine persons presented themselves at the altar. The doors of the church were opened and three persons united with the church, one going to the Baptist church. The contestants for the gold watch then called their friends to rally to them. At 8:30 Bishop Grant again broke the bread of life to three or four hundred souls and like the afternoon service all who ever knew Christ in the pardon of their sins were made glad by the good tidings of the gospel. One more person united with the church. The rally was continued and Mrs. C. Irving was awarded first prize and Mrs A. Harris, second prize. The former raised $142 25 and the latter, $133 65. Bishop Grant precented the watches with befitting words. On Monday evening Bishop Grant delivered a lecture at the church to a crowded house and everybody in attendance expressed satisfaction at what was heard. Last Sunday was quarterly meeting at Ward's Chapel A. M. E. church, Rev. J. W. Williams, pastor Rev. Dr. Murphy of the First M. E. church, preached us a good sermon and many participated in the Lord's supper. Our meeting was a success all around. We are preparing for conference.

WK LIVE STOCK Good Feed Rack Last spring we published a description of a feeding rack to be made with or without trough, which plants were furnished us by a subscriber whose patents on the rack had expired and who had no further use for the plans. Mr. Ira I. Nixon, a prominent stockman of Dewitt county, Illinois, writes concerning this plan as follows: "I have added a trough all around the rack floored to the outside of posts and used pieces 1½ feet by 8 inches nailed on out side of posts, which catch what would waste if the trough was not there. I have built mine of 3x4's where this man used 2x4's for posts, which makes it very strong. I have used oak lumber, and I think I have the best rack I ever saw for shock corn, straw, hay, or ear corn, as ear corn or ground feed can be fed all around in the trough, which is forty two feet long and large enough to feed a car load of cattle. If built with 3x4's you will be compelled to use one inch longer bolts than this man has in his rack where the 3x4's are bolted together. My rack has 2x4's for the bottom bolted full width of rack and one on each end to hold the floor.

Working Brood Mares. Some of the leading horse breeders of the country never put their brood mares in harness. They provide exercise in other ways in order to keep the stock in vigorous health. As a rule these breeders have extensive grass paddocks, into which the mares are turned for several hours each day throughout the winter season. Horse breeders who neither work their mares nor turn them out daily invariably get a small proportion of increase. Some foals are lost immaturally, and others are born so weak that they die soon afterward. Most horse breeders, especially those of long experience, prefer that mares in foal should have regular exercise in the form of light work, but jerking and straining should be avoided under all circumstances. For best results it is a good plan to use three horses for work that would be required of two under ordinary circumstances. This is not done at an additional expense of one-third, because three horses will do more work than two, if the siped alone is considered. Then it often happens that plows and cultivators may be set an inch or two deep; and the extra work thus accomplished is worth a great deal, although it may not show on the surface. A man can drive three horses faster than two and rest less at the end of the row. Using Good Rams. While looking over some large flocks in Central South Dakota we find too many who do not appreciate the use of a first class ram. We have recently seen a bunch of 600 ewes whose lambs alone would have brought at least $500 or more, had a good pure bred ram been used. Foeders do not want them at hardly any price and the ewe lambs are not fit to keep as breeders. When one looks at these things from any point of view, it is a puzzle to know why so many sheep ralers continue to carry on the business in such a careless manner. A good even lot of lambs are always in good demand, while poor ones are not wanted at all.—Northwestern Agricultural. Selection of Stock. A medium sized male with good fair sized females of good constitutional vigor and mature age will do far better than the largest males with the smallest females. The wise farmer always selects the very best corn or grains of all kinds for seed; equal care should be given the selection of breeding stock in turkeys. The best raised on the farm should be kept for producers, and the fact should be kept in mind that turkey hens of the best quality in their second or third year of laying make the best producers. The medium sized, well formed hens that have good strong bone and constitutional vigor are the easiest to select for breeders — Wallace's Farmer.

Some do not know what is meant by it, and others do not know how to do it. The following explicit directions are from "Green's Amateur Fruit Grower," a book that should be owned by every one who grows fruit of any kind, or who contemplates growing it: "Heeling in" is a term used to designate the temporary burying of the roots of trees or plants in earth or other material. If the trees are to be moved again in a few days a very light covering will be sufficient; but if they are to remain several weeks much care should be taken to do the work well. To begin with, select a dry, mellow piece of ground; dig a wide trench, put in the trees—a few at a time—either in an erect or stoping position, and cover them so deep and firm they cannot dry out. If apple or other somewhat tender trees are to remain heeled over winter it is best to dig a trench about two feet deep and three wide in land where no water will stand in the trenches; put in a layer of trees sloping; cover the roots with a thin layer of fine, mellow earth, filling in carefully and solid all the interstices among the roots and stems; continue this until all the trees are in, when the tops and all should be bent down to the ground and entirely covered with about six inches of earth. The cut shows the various stages of the operation. (A row of trees with roots covered; B, the trees bent down and tops covered with earth at C) The stems and all should be completely covered when the work is finished—Farm, Stock and Home. Never Too Much Fancy Fruit Some people always see gloomy prospects and glutted markets, they always look on the dark side of everything and seem never to catch even a glimpse to the silver edging of a aloud, says the Canadian Horticulturist. We do, indeed, find our markets at times over-supplied with certain fruits, but if we look into the conditions we find either that the fruit was poor or that it was badly distributed. Perhaps one market was receiving three-fourths of the shipments from our Canadian growers, and hundreds of smaller markets throughout Ontario were almost bare of supply. We do not believe that too much really high grade fruit, of good shipping quality, can be grown. There is an axiom about this which we believe will hold good, namely, "The more good fruit put into a market the greater will be the consumption and the better the prices in the end," while no doubt the reverse of this statement is equally true. The fact is that when people cannot get good apples, for example, they will look out for choice fruits of other fruits whether fresh or preserved, to take their place, and so on throughout chapter. The moral then is plain: row only farce high grade fruit; place such goods only on the streets, and the chances are that we should seldom see a glut, unless it be of over ripe fruit that must be hurriedly disposed of - Farmers' Trade. Fall Bown Onlons. A correspondent for the Farm Journal disposes of the onion question in the following manner "Here is the way I paint in onions. Spade and thoroughly prepare the ground about the tenth of November; plant and then cover with straw or other mulch for the winter. Remove the mulch about the middle of March, and top-dress liberally with manure. Cultivate as soon as ground is dry enough to work and just will have onions fit for a queen." In absence of definite information on this point, it may be inferred that this applies to onions raised from seed. Would this be a good plan to follow in case of sets or "button" onions? Perhaps it would be as well, as to set them in the spring if the mulch were thick enough, but the middle of March would be early to remove the covering in this climate. Onions are tough and a little freeze does not seriously injure the young plants. If there is any seed on hand the plan is a good one to try. Cherry Budded on Own Roots. Cherry budded on Own Roots. A well known horticulturist says that he never grafts the cherry on the own roots; for he finds in case of doing that that the root sprouts and sends up a new growth and the original sclon dies. This of course prevents the using of the variety involved and gives a worthless seedling instead. It is better to plant trees that have been budded on Mazard or Hahaleh stock, which will never sprout. One of the most annoying conditions of cherry growing will then have been done away with. All of the substance taken from the soil will go into the main tree instead of into a sprout and the tree will keep on growing. TAKEN FROM LIFE BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT.

In the latter case she can make use of more grain than she can if she is kept stalled, and can put it to a good purpose. Some of the recent investigations have put money into the pockets of the farmers by showing that our cows do not require the very large amount of grain they ordinarily receive. It used to be the practice of some of the more ambitious dairymen to feed fifteen or twenty pounds of grain to each large milkier daily. It has been demonstrated that a large part of this grain was wasted and that generally not over eight pounds of grain can be used to advantage. Previously a good deal of grain went through the animals undigested and was dropped on the pastures without result, except as to the small amount of fertilizer added to the land. When the smaller amount is fed it is more fully digested. It will thus be apparent that in the past our ignorance has cost us millions of dollars in wasted food. Even yet some of our dairymen have not learned the truth in regard to this matter and are still pouring large quantities of grain into their cows, most of which will not bring back a cant—Farmera' Review. Milk In the Stable. A good many keepers of cows have in the cow stable and behind the cows pages on which to hang the milk pails that are too full of milk to prevent of their being further used at that milking. A man fills the pail, hangs it on the hook and proceeds to milk another cow. By the time the milking is completed several pails have been hanging on the pigs for fifteen minutes to half an hour. In addition the empty pails hung on the same pigs before they were taken for milking purposes and just as readily gathered germs as when they had the milk in them. So far as the milker can see, there is no reason why this practice should not be continued. The pails look clean when they are taken down to be used for milking purposes and the milk in the pails that have been hanging there looks as clean as any other milk. The pails are hung too high up to catch any stillie dirt. The custom is bad, but its badness is hard to prove, because only the student and the scientist knows that the air is full of odors and germs and that they are constantly settling in the pails to become manifest later in bad flavored butter or quickly souring milk. The milk should be removed from the stable as fast as milked, that the time of exposure to bad odors may be as short as possible. Cooling Milk in Winter Most milk producers now know that milk must be quickly cooler in summer to increase its keeping power, but many do not know that the process is also necessary in winter. Men that make a business of delivering milk know that at certain times in winter they have as much trouble with milk souring as they do in the summer. The cooling of milk in the winter should be done in exactly the same way as it is in summer namely, by placing the milk in cans in tanks of cold water as or as the milk is drawn from the cans. In the winter ice and snow may be easily obtained for reducing the temperature of the water in the tank as this is certainly without expense there is no good reason why it should not be done. Milk for all purposes will then keep very much longer than if it is not cooled after being drawn Chopped Teats and Udders. Chipped teeth and cracked teeth. As spilling counts and the cows are turned out to pasture are lay around on the damp ground many times there is considerable trouble with their teats and udders becoming clamped from coming in contact with the damp earth. Some cows have been ne almost unmanageable from the very cause and you know the old saying that "an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure." If one will procure a box of vareline and keep in the barn, and as they notice any hardening, drying or chapping of the teats rub the vareline into them well the trouble will soon disappear, but if it gets well started there is sure to be serious trouble, which sometimes takes a long time to cure. Milk Veins The milk veins of a dairy cow go a good way in indicating her ability at the pall. These so-called milk veins are really large blood veins running from the udder forward to near the forelegs, where they enter the body. The orifices where they enter the body are called milk wells. These large veins convey the blood from the udder to the heart and lungs, where it is purified and again forced to the udder. A cow can not give a large flow of milk without large milk veins. When examining a cow for the dairy, feel along the under side of the belly for those veins. If they are large and tortuous, she is a good cow, other things being equal. The temperature for churning ranges from 35 to 65 degrees, according to conditions, while 60 and 65 degrees are the most common temperatures. Miss Eva Haynes of Chicago is the guest of W. M.
