IS THE BLACK JOCKEY DOOMED? His Face is Almost Extinct at the Big. Turf Meets Only One Remains. While the Negro may be passing from the turf, he is coming into possession of a considerable number of good running and trotting horses. The turf is not as dignified as it was years ago; and the Negro almires dignity. It was different when Harlan, the well known colored racing man took his own horses to race in England, and the Negro jockeys mentioned below, in the article from the St. Louis Democrat, which we copy below, were in their prime. The gradual passing of the Negro from the racing scene is most noticeable by all the thinking minds of the turf world. Also, is this attracting the attention of what might easily be called a non-thinking class, who flourish in the hurlyburly of racing; whose minds are employed, for the most part, in the figuring out of winners or losers, as they may be, of the playing or the laying class. This latter lot have no time to think closely of the complexion or race of those who train or ride the horoughbucks, but only of the winning numbers as they are displayed in the pavilion; but still, to them it has not occurred without a passing thought. Seeking for a reason, the turf folk who think are much at sea, and the theorists have come to no conclusion, as it is a many sided subject. In the first place it is not decided that the members of the Negro race are without ability in the handling of the thoroughbred, for there are scores of examples of great racers having been trained and ridden by Negroes. THE NEGRO'S WEAKNESS. Among the reasons assigned is that it is simply a fault of the race; a reason that has been assigned when the subject comes up in other vocations in which the Negro is engaged. Without discussing the race subject, which, of course is not the object of this article, it can be said that their passing from the American turf is brought about in the first place by general ignorance and by lack of ability to grasp opportunities. When the scoffer says that they ought to pass because they are more at home with mules than thoroughbreds he is all wong, and the careers of such expert horsemen as William Walker, Isaac Murphy, Richard Brown, R. Colston, and others will easily refute such a view of it. The Negro's one-time prominence on the turf is easily accounted for. He came in on the ground floor, and, hailing from the South, where the sport of kings knew its first beginnings in this country, he grew up and flourished with it. When the Southern Gentlemen, who imported, bred and raced their thoroughbreds and owned slaves, he was never at a loss for attendants for his horses. There were slaves to the right of him and slaves to the left of him, and he could select any man to train or lad to ride that looked to him available. The Southernner loved the thoroughbred and taught his people how to handle them and what to do. ASK MR, DARWIN. In this way the colored element on the turf begun, and its gradual passing away to the concussion only marks the survival of the fiftieth. To mark the once importance of the kick on the turf it is truly new TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1906 essary to go back to the old racing days before the civil war, when racing was only known in the South. Abe, a full blooded Negro (he was never known to have any other name) was once the premier jockey of the country, and rode Lecompte in his victory in the great Post Stakes that was run at New Orleans in 1854. The famous turfman, Duncan F. Kenner, for whom the well known stake at Saratoga was named, owned Lecompte and Abe was his slave. Mr. Kenner afterwards sold Lecompte, but never the famous Abe. The race in question was the most famous ever run in Americas, and the excitement over it was felt all over the entire section of the country where racing flourished. A number of the states had representatives, and, without being tedious, it can be explained that Lecompte represented Louisiana, and of course that part of the South was jubilant. The state lines at that time were closely drawn, and the represedatives taking sides with one where there was the least affinity. The planters and turfmen gathered from their homes in all directions, and it was a fete day at New Orleans when the race was run, and all of the wealth and fashion of the South were there. South Carolina took sides with Louisiana, both being rice growing states, and the Carolinas backed Locompte to a man, and in this connection a quaint story is told by many oldtimers there. WILD TIMES DOWN SOUTH. A prominent gentleman of the state, afterwards commander of the state troops, hied himself to New Orleans and won the price of his lower plantation on Lecompte, but those were wild days; faro and other games of chance were going on. The Carolinian, overplaying himself, hypothecated his Negro body servant, Bob. When he got home without Bob, who was a favorite servant, there was close to being a family misunderstanding, when his mother came to the rescue and paid the money for Bob, getting him back to the plantation. The present situation on the turf regarding the subject in hand shows in detail the imminent danger, if it may be called, of the Negroes passing from the racing. Williams, a mulatto, from California, is the only one residing where the jockeys Abe, Isaac Murphy, Pike Barnes, who piloted Proctor Knott to victory, Stovall, Clayton, W. Sims and others used to be seen. Their places have been taken by white boys, and the reason is still inapplicable. The trainers, when consulted in the matter, have no complaint against the colored lads, for they ride well and honestly, and any time one of them shows ability he will have a mount. Regarding the Negro trainer, the situation is much the same. The days of Bill Bird, who trained the great Crickmore, and other trainers of his race and stamp have passed. At present we only have Tom Green the South Carolin Negro, who trained Voter for his Metropolitan handicap victory Sim Booker, who guides the paces of the T. L. Watt string, and W. McCann of the Aster sting. NEGROES MAKE GOOD! The Indian Portland Cement Co. of Neodesha, has been sadly in need of men for some time and has been offering as high as $3 a day for sacking cement with no takers. At last the plant imported fifteen Negroes from Arkansas City and put them to work. The Negroes live in it near the plant. The presence of the Negroes angered some of the other employees and there was strong talk of "running the Negroes out of town." To guard against this several deputies were sworn in and the Negroes were armed. If they are molested those who molest them, will probably be filled full of shot and also arrested on a serious charge. Shall Right and Justice PrevailToo Much Idle Talk About the Railroads Which Made Kansas----Negroes Should Vote for the Best Interest of all the People. The only class of people who have grievences is the colored people and this grievence extends to that class of white people who believe in making special laws for Negroes because they (the whites) are in the majority. Might don't make right. When it comes to making special laws there is always an element of cast off whites who want to damh the Negro, but the real genuine progressive white man is too digressed to stoop to such low degraded schemes. It is the duty of the colored voters in this state to vote against wrong and stand up for right. The principles of the Republican party are right, and we find more fair minded men in this party than in any other. Mistakes have been made and wrongs forced upon the party, but she always comes back and corrects all mistakes. No colored man can afford to vote for a man who fought in the Rebel army unless he has made omends for fighting to perpetuate slavery. As long as Thomas Dixon, Vardaman, Tillman and Jones, who are drawbacks of the South, are at the head of the Democratic party, Negroes cannot afford to have their names linked with such a gang. Col. Harris fought in the Rebel army, and has done the colored people more harm than good and can never repent. Personally, the Colonel is a nice man, but being associated with such hell hounds as mentioned above and the fact of his fighting for the Confederacy, makes him unworthy of the suffrage of the colored voters. Col. Harris, the Democratic party and a large number of so called Republicans contend to this day that the cause espoused by Jefferson Davis was right. We are against any special law for any particular class of people. A Jim crow school law under a special act and for one special class was passed at the last session of the Legislature and the Governor was forced to sign it by misrepresentation, combinations and political deals which did great harm to the race. There is a class of Missouri and Texas Rebels in Kansas that has almost taken charge of the Republican party. One Southern Democrat can put one hundred Northern Republicans to flight most any time by hollowing "in a nigger as good as you?" Can a white man afford to let niggers have the same rights that we enjoy "A few remarks of this kind put some of our best white Republicans warriors to flight. It is the bounden duty of the party of Lincoln, Grant and John Brown to check such outrages in Kansas. Let us fight it out on the line of right and justice. NICK CHILES. THE SUN IS TOO HOT! A colored laborer digging in the earth under a portable sunshade is one of the curious sights presented in Ottawa, at the corner of Main and Seventh streets. The man is one of the gang of laborers employed by Dr. G. W. Davis to excavate the earth from the site of his proposed lake on the property he recently acquired at that point. E. S. Lucas made to the order of Dr. Davis a pointed iron socker for the standard of a large sunshade. "I've got a man on my work" said Dr. Davis, who is a treasure, he shovels as much dirt as any ordinary man and a half, but unfortunately he is easily affected by the hot sun. I shall rig up the portable umbrella so that he can move it about and work under it." Hence the situation that causes people to stare. Whites Are Ordered Out. Hannah Elias, the Negress who got $65,000; most of the other bunch and a great deal more at other times from John R. Platt, has jarred a good part of Harlem by ordering all of the white tenants out of two big flat buildings and notifying the neighbors that in the future none but colored families will be allowed to occupy the premises. This indicates that the wealthy colored woman will make a colored settlement out of one of the choicest neighborhoods above One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. Phillip A. Paton, a colored real estate dealer of No 67 West One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street, purchased a few days ago for $100,000 the two flats at Nos.158 and 170 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street occupied by more than fifteen reputable white families. West and ast of these houses are many high-priced apartment houses. The occupants of these, as well as the tenants of the purchased houses are the ones who are jarred by the edict of the rich Negress, The sale was made last week, and on Friday each tenant of the Elias houses received a note from Paton notifying him to vacate by tomorrow the note adding that in the future none but respectable colored families were to occupy the flats. Hanah Elias, who has been discouraged in her frantic and expensive efforts to make her complexion fade, is said to have resolved to openly capouse the colored cause and to associate in the future with her own race. "I've already rented most of these flats to decent colored people." Cook the new janitor said today. Oh, we have lots of wealthy colored people who are anxious to move into this stylish neighborhood. It's going to be the bon ton of the colored colonies." EMPORIA, KANS. Mr. J. Armatead died at his home one mile east of town, on Sunday morning, after suffering for two years with paralysis and dropsy. He was a member of the St. James church and an old citizen. Besides a host of friends, he leaves a wife, four sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. Mrs. Carrie Phenix Minnie, of Topaka, is visiting her parents, Mr. Phenix and wife, on Congress St. Mrs. W. S. Blake was called to Joplin. Mo., on account of the serious illness of her uncle and sister. Henry Wilson of Muscogee, and Miss Nellie Evans of Emporia, were married on the 10th, at St. James Baptist church. After the ceremony a wedding supper was served. Only a few intimate friends were present besides the parents and relatives of the contracting parties. Dr. O. A. Taylor, of Topeka, was in the city again recently, on business. The colored people of Emporia are planning for a grand picnic on the third of Sept. Minn Mary R. Coleman was unable to attend the B. Y. P. U.

NEGRO TO HAVE A SQUARE DEAL! Alabama Whites are Seriously Considering the Black Man's Case. MONTGOMERY, ALA., July 24.-Now that the temporary plan by which all white voters were registered for life by the new constitution is out of date there is a demand that the registration officers begin giving the Negro what he is entitled to as a voter and a citizen of the state. By the temporary plan those who were the descendants of parents or forefathefs in the civil war, the Mexican war or other wars of the country were allowed to register and receive a certificate that made further registration unnecessary for all time to come. The writer was in the office of Gov. Jelks the other day and the subject came up. The executive did not care to have anything to say of it, but did advance the idea that it was time for the Negro to be given what the constitution promised him when it was made, if it is so, that he is not. Though he is on the side of the feeling that every promise made should be kept, the governor did not agree to make criticism, as he did not know that there was reason. NOTHING TO CONCEAL. This is one of the signs of the returning sanity of the people. Many years ago such a remark as that from Mr. Merrill would never have got in to print, and received but few discussions verbally. It would have been suppressed "for the good of the party," then constantly menaced by the hoodoo of Negro domination. Among the first real showing of this determination to keep nothing back that should be known was made about fifteen months ago in reporting a speech by Hon. J. Thomas Hefin, congressman from the 5th district at the home of Booker Washington, the great Negro educator at Tuskegee Hefin was referring to the incident of Washington lunching in the same room or at the same table with President Roosevelt In substance, he said. "If some Crolgos, bent on murder had thrown a sizzling bomb under the table there would have been little or no loss to the country." Will T. Sheehan member of the staff of the Montgomery Advertiser, made a careful note and featured the statement next morning. Every part of the nation soon read that a congressman, elected to make the laws of the nation, had sympathized with the anarchistic idea of throwing a bomb under the chair of the President. Mr. Hefin did not expect the remark to be printed. He did not mean what he said and is no more anarchist than the eight other Alabama men in the lower House. He said it to catch the follows who are always glad to have anything said about the Negro, and especially that particular Negro. When it got out he was dumfounded at the effect of it. THE HELFLIN IDEA. The writer saw Mr. Hefflin at the capitol the day after he made the speech. "A good Democratic newspaper would not have printed the remark," he said. "I did not expect that it would be printed." That was his idea of printing a news story. He thought he should be allowed so arouse the race feeling of those who did like the Negro for his own political advancement, without some "meddlesome newspaper man" taking it up and setting it on a first page under black headlines. In the ameantime the Negro is seeking to qualify himself, to vote. He is going to school in larger number proportionately than the whites.—St. Louis, Globe Democrat. The South is awakening to the wrongs done to the Negro. Gov. Jelks reads the handwriting on the wall. Nebuchadnezzar appears on the scene and gives the South timely warning. The South will continue in the rut of retrogression until she learns to accord to every man; that which he merits and is entitled to. Mr. Joe E. Herriford of Chillicothe was in our city on Friday, the guest of Dr. O. M. Ricketter. Mr.-H. has made several pleasant trips to St. Joseph in the last few weeks, always in the interest of one of the grand lodges. President Dr. W. S. Carrion, Mr. of Gene" Simms, and others of the local Tennis clubbers, played a match game in Atchison on Friday afternoon of the 20th. Dr. G. C. Brown, Messrs. Covington, Lett, Wilson, Dr. Hudson, Prof. Grades and others represent a strong club in Atchison. Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen of the city of Atchison were spectators at this opening match and enthusiasm ran high. The St. Joseph players played the game of their lives and held their city's reputation up high. Atchison men, though veterans at the game, having been organized for many years, were obliged to use their fullest powers to keep St. Joseph men from breaking more than even. As it was, the soore was tied, the champion of St. Joseph, "Gene" Simms, beat the greatest player in Atchison, Arthur Lett, 20 7-5 0 0. In the doubles the game stood, Atchison 0 2, St. Joseph 0 2, and the winner 6-3, a very closely contested match. The very best of feeling prevailed throughout the series of games. Tennis is truly a gentleman's game. After the matches were over, the visiting players were taken to the magnificent home of Dr. Hudson, where a bountiful repast was served, taped off with watermelon, etc., in great abundance. Mr. Arthur Lett, the long-time champion of Kansas, had to forfeit his racket and his entire tennis outfit to the St. Joseph club. For two straight years "Gene" Simms of St. Joseph has won from this doughty Kansas champion and now Mr. Lett had to give up his entire tennis paraphernalia. Others from the Atchison badwick will have to follow suit in August when the next meet takes place on the tennis grounds of St. Joseph on August 7. Dr. Hudson, Brown, Messrs. Covington, Lett, Wilson, Graves and the whole outfit will play in our city. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. In Electa Chapter in Kansas City, Kansas, in May, two tough characters, one an ex-conflict, the other prostitute, brutally assaulted one Electa Chapter member with a knife and club, saying she was walking with her Mr. Green the said husband.

One of these women are friends of the matron and chairman of the investigating committee, these two sisters by marriage. They also took an exconvict and a prostitutes word, and turned the Eastern Star sister out of the lodge with no other evidence than these two women. The chairman of the committee is the well known ragtime picker who worked for R. C. Clark on Third street. The matron is better known among the men. The secretary is Mrs. Butter who has given the grand chapter so much trouble trying to be a grand officer the other is the saintified Kittie Loe.

W. Work, who appeared in white which harmonized beautifully with her completion and Mrs. A. E. Patterson, who wore a pretty white ganoe costume, her stately grace and imperial bearing lent dignity to the occasion. Mrs. A. C. Brisco kept the register with much grace. Later in the evening a musical program was rendered which was highly appreciated by one and all. Mrs. Brisco rendered an instrumental solo which pleased those who heard her, her pure white dress harmonized well with her spiritual face. The most dazzling and imposing was the appearance of the great elocutionist, Miss L. L. Bouef, who rooted one of Dunbars poems and received a heavy applause. A gray silk princess gown arrayed her full and graceful form. Next amid a storm of applause came the queen of song before crowned heads and who is also a former student of Irish. Her selection called forth an enuree. Those who heard her sing her praises, her dress was a beautiful white cloth, and her hair was looped with tattoos of yellow applaces. Last but not least Mr. Demoss, who is now standing at the Little Theater, appeared from the great in the conventional song, beyond the Gates of Paradise and captivated the heart. Her way compelled to respond to four stories, the one of Muskogee were present, there was a most beautiful variety of costumes. Never before have children ever rightly crowned as they did last year.

Mrs. Yates, retiring president of the National Association of Colored Women, elected Honorary President for life. Immediately after the election of Mrs. Lucy Thurman as President of the National Association of Colored Women, in Detroit, Michigan, and before the election of other officers came up, Mrs. Josephine bilome Yates, the retiring President, was elected Honorary President for life with all the rights and privileges of the organization. "And," said Mrs. Thurman, addressing the delegates while speaking to the nomination, "if the constitution of the National Association of Colored Women permitted a President t hold the office for more than two consecutive terms, neither Lucy Thurman, nor any other woman ned have aspired to the office. And we would have unanimously re-elected Mrs. Yates, so highly do we appreciate the grand work she has done while in office." Mrs. Yates has been officially connected with the organization since its beginning, and has served it faithfully as Vice President, Treasurer and President, elected in Buffalo in 1901 to succeed Mrs. Terrell as President, who also had served for two consecutive terms. Mrs. Yates was unanimously elected to succeed herself in St. Louis in 1904, and thus she had reached the constitutional limit in one term of three and another f two years. The National Association of Colored omen puts itself in line with the National Council of Women (white), with which it is affiliated, and other representative bodies, by electing its retiring Presidents as Honorary Presidents; and in this capacity now has Mrs. Mary Church Herrell of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. J. S. Yates of iLincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., both of whom have proved to the world their worth as race women. The presentation of a beautifully inscribed sterling silver living cup was made to Mrs. Yates from the National Association of Colored omen which was the main feature of the last evening's session in Detroit, and was another tangible evidence of the devotion and esteem of her co-workers. The presentation speech in most eloquent terms was made by Miss Anna H. Jones of Kansas City, Mo. PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. Arthur C. Jeltz, Defendant.

The seventh annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 29, 30 and 31. The Atlanta Negro Business League is well organized and is at work maturing plans for the proper entertainment of the hundreds of visitors expected. Reduced rates of one and one third fare have already been secured from the South Eastern Passenger, the Trunk Line and the New England Passenger Associations. Only one or two lines to the far west are yet to concur in the arrangement. The program promises to be, as all of the League programs are, devoted to an intelligent discussion of those features of business development wherein the Negro people of the country are making progress. The governor of the state of Georgia, the Mayor of the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce joined in the invitation asking that this session of the League be held in Atlanta, and everything will be done to make the visit of all who attend pleasant and satisfactory.

In Material Medica a parasite is a microbe, a Tape Worm, a Bowel Worm, Pin Worms, or ascardia Symptoms vary with individuals. Cramps in the stomach, pains in the bowels are caused by Tape Worms, Stomach Worms, Bowel Worms. Pains at the base of the brain and above the eyes are caused by Parasites. Blosted condition of the stomach and bowels are symptoms of worms. Pains beneath the heart, pains below the shoulder blades, palpitation and fluttering of the heart are caused most frequently by worms. Swollen ankles, restless and startling dreams are also symptoms of parasite action. Pains across the small of the back and soreness above the hips are symptoms of tape worms. Some tape worms produce a ravenous appetite, while others destroy appetite. An individual can possess a tape worm for four years and have no positive knowledge of it. Tickling sensations in the throat, producing a hacking cough, itching piles and ulcerated piles are produced by pin worms and ascarades Eczema is caused by microbes. A coated tongue and a foul breath is caused by decayed matter in the stomach and bowels, from which the heat of the body generates parasites. SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN.

For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or outhouse, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep as they may heat and rot. A 10x12 space will hold a big wagon load safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hash in a bushelful with an old am and feed them to the laying hen. The great amount of oil contained in the kernals will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we may look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make our bees lay.

A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the waists of the new Rotterdam city is related by the Technische Dundschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition Who leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.

Several colored people came up on the excursion from Kansas City, last Sunday. Miss Belle Thompson age 19 died at her home, 13th, and Chandler street; Sunday afternoon. The funeral services were held at the Third Baptist church. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mr. J. J. Ewing, the secretary of the Great Western Council No.7, of the Knights and Ladies of Protection of Edwardsville Kansas. He was one of the most energetic farmers in that portion of the county, an upright honest Christian man. His many friends will deplore his loss as he was of great service to the people of that community. The Knights and Ladies of Protection paid the loss within five days after the death. This order is growing rapidly and doing exceedingly well, it is controlled by colored men not trying to grasp money from any one, nor is there any white man who will in the end absorb all the money. There is an order soliciting insurance from colored people in this state with a white man as treasurer, saying that white people are in this order as well as colored. This is a lie and is damaging to all who take out a policy. Our people should ask them to supply them with a list of the white people that belong to this order and then write to them. This way, of white men grasping money from our people ought to be stopped and our people should do a little thinking and not at them do it. ENCURSION.

If so, it will interest you to know that it can be stopped with Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills; and without any bad aftereffects, and this without danger of forming a drug habit or having your stomach disarranged. They positively contain no opium, morphine, cocaine, chloral, ether or chloroform in any form. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain, and leave only a sense of relief. The reason for this is explained by the fact that headache comes from tired, irritable, turbulent, over-taxed brain nerves. AntiPain Pills soothe and strengthen these nerves, thus removing the cause. They are harmless when taken as directed. "We use Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for the cure of headache, and we think that there is nothing that will equal them. They will cure the secrest spell of nervous or sick headache in a very few minutes. I am of a nervous temperament, and occasionally have spills when my nerves seem to be completely exhausted, and I tremble so I can securely contain myself. At these times I always take the Anti-Pain Pills, and they quiet me right away. It is remarkable what a nothing effect they have upon the nerves. MRS. I, L. KALL, Detroit, Mich.

G. Byrd, 675 Hood St., Portland, Ore., who says that excellent opportunities are now offered for progressive colored men and women who wish to improve their opportunities. There is great demand for them, as the white people of that section of the country are getting tired of Japs and Chinamen; they do not want anything but progressive and industrious colored men and women. No loafers or those who idle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very strict against that class and are rigidly enforced. It strikes us very forcibly that the colored people of these states who wish to better their condition should go to a state like Oregon, where the laws are more equally interpreted. The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and seldom, if ever, do the people judge by the color when it comes to business. Take advantage of this opportunity and scatter over the great West. NOTICE.

Minnesota dairymen are alive and down to date. As a means of stimulating interest in the making of better butter and cheese contests are constantly in progress to determine who are the best butter and cheese makers in that state. Each contestant in making his entry is required to state just how the butter is made, how the milk was received, how it was separated, how long after separation the cream was churned, what statter or culture was used and what kind of salt and machinery was used. The contests are conducted under the supervision of the state dairy and food department and the judges are recognized experts in their respective lines. Many close contests occur and the quality of Minnesota butter and cheese is questionably bettered by reason of them. In the six months' contest just closed the butter winning first prize scored 93 per cent, the second 97.4 per cent, two entries tied for third place at 97, next in rank scored 96 and of 233 tubs only 2 went below 90. In the cheese scoring contest only fifteen entries were made. The three highest scoring entries tied for first place with a score of 94.2 points out of a possible 100 while all of the entries scored above 90 per cent. Kansas butter is being discriminated against in the best butter markets of the world. Not because Kansas buttermakers are inferior in ability, but because of a multitude of reasons. In the last national butter making contest in which Kansas butter makers participated a Kansas product made and entered by a Kansas received highest honors. If a united, intelligent effort is made by Kansas dairymen there is no doubt but that Kansas butter would take and hold rank with the best butter in the In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas.

All that will be needed to bring it about will be united, persistent, intelligent effort on the part of all producers of dairy products. We would be glad to see some sort of a contest started in this state that would arouse interest in Kansas butter and cheese making. A long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether will do the business. Let's get busy. HOME BUTTER MAKING The pan system, or shallow setting of milk, with its usual accompaniment of dash churn and butter bowl, is the one practiced on most farms. When means allow or the size of the herd warrants, the separator, barrel churn and butter worker have been substituted. However, improved machinery and up-to-date appliances do not insure an improved quality of butter. The same intelligent oversight and painstaking are as necessary in the one as in the other. Very excellent results were obtained, and are still obtained, by the use of the pan system. Owing to the more exposed condition of the milk, it is more susceptible to atmospheric changes and is influenced more by its surroundings than the deep-setting system; hence greater care is necessary in its management. Cool, airy, well ventilated quarters free from all objectionable odors, should be assigned for the shallow setting of milk. Best results are obtained also by leaving the milk uncovered for half an hour at least after training. Covers for milk should be kept free from spot or stain of milk. If covers of wood are used, then greater care will be necessary, as any dampness allowed to gather upon them soon forms mold, and if allowed to remain will communicate a very objectionable odor to the cream, and be handed down with interest to the butter product. Milk should be skimmed as soon as the least degree of acidity can be detected, as the cream will all have been precipitated when that stage is reached. Cream requires frequent stirring, if even ripening is to be secured. It should be smooth and velvety and pleasantly (not decidedly) acid to the taste, and is then ready for the churn. Much of the success of the buttermaker depends on the proper ripening of the cream. In winter this is especially difficult for the average buttermaker with limited facilities and appliances. If no better way presents, place the jar or can of cream in some large vessel and surround it with hot water; stir often, and let remain until it reaches the proper stage, which will be about 80 degrees; then keep where it is warm, and it will develop acid in a short time. When cream flows from the stirrer thick and of an even consistency, it is right for churning. Just here is where so many fail in getting a prine quality of butter. Churning is delayed many times; meanwhile, bacteria have not delayed their work, and a delay of a few hours means much at this stage. If a barrel churn is used, it should not be over half full of cream. Draw off the buttermilk when the butter appears in small grains; then strain into the churn a painful of brine made by using in the proportion of two handfuls of salt to ten quarts of water. Revolve the churn, as this freezes the buttermilk to a great extent. Next draw off the brine. Strain a painful of clean water into the churn, revolve a few times, draw off, and if the water is clear, it will require no more rinsing. Some prefer to dry salt in the churn. When this is done, it is necessary to approximate as closely as possible the amount of butter to be salted. The salt should be weighed, and should be of good quality. One ounce of salt to one pound of butter is the general rule; some prefer less. One must cater to requirements at all times. Sprinkle in several handfuls, tip the churn and let the butter fall back; then put in the rest of the salt. Revolve the churn until the butter forms in large pieces; then drain off the brine, remove from the churn, place on the butter worker and press out the brine. For those who prefer to salt out of the churn, the following is the best method: Remove the butter when in the granular state, weigh it, and place upon the worker; spread evenly, and salt to saint the taste. Sift the salt evenly over the butter, pass the worker over it, then turn the butter and work again or until the salt is thoroughly worked in. It may then be set away for a few hours, after which it should be given a second working. The amount of working required the second time depends on the appearance of the butter. Should the salt have been impotently worked in, it will be streaked. Work just enough so all will be of uniform color. Overworking will spoil the grain, when pulled apart, has the appearance of broken cast iron, showing granules of butter, while that of overworked butter has a salty, greasy appearance. FALL FRESH COWS MOST PROFIT- Gentleman. —Mrs. A. C. McPherson in Country ABLE. Much has been written upon the best season for cows to drop their calves. Opunions still differ, and by far the greater number of milk cows are allowed to follow the most natural course, and other by indifference or interruption they "come in" in the spring. The producer of milk for sale, it he has an even shade, may want to have about an equal number of fresh cows every month in the year. If the bull is kept up and service controlled, this can be reg- ulated as a rule, although unpleasant regulations in breeding will sometimes these and stubbornly resist correction. Plus of the prime object is to produce the greatest quantity of milk of the --- best quality and at the greatest profit from any given number of cows within a year, the evidence is overwhelming that the cows should be managed so as to calve in the autumn months. For like reasons, September is the best month, in most parts of the country, for a heifer to drop her first calf in order to best develop herself as a cow, and this almost regardless of the age of the animal at first calving. Calves born in the fall are easier reared and make better cows than those born in the spring or summer. It seems needless to rehearse the stock arguments on this subject, based upon the long experience of successful dairymen, but a brief recapitulation may be useful. The cow or heifer calving in the fall needs the most healthy and nutritious pasturage just following the strain and while coming into full flow. Just at the time when some falling off is likely to occur, the animal is brought to the stable and receives good care; the winter feeding and the returns from it may be depended upon to exceed the midsummer results for any like period. At the stage of milking and of gestation, when another dropping off in the milk yield may be looked for, the fresh pasturage induces a fresh flow, lengthens the milking period and increases the year's total product. December and January are good months in which to control and supervise the service of the bull. Midsummer and dogdays are a good time for the cow to be dry and preparing to calve again, and a most unprofitable and annoying time to make milk or handle it. With fall fresh cows the greatest product and the richest comes at the season when milk and butter are always comparatively high in price. In actual practice four fall fresh cows have been found to equal five which calved in the spring, in twelve months' produce, and at about four-fifths the cost.—Farmers' Bulletin No. 55, U. S. Department of Agriculture. STUDY YOUR COWS. That is a difficult thing with a great many of us. We like our cows. Perhaps we have raised them from calves and we are prejudiced in their favor. We do not quite like to own up that we are not getting as much from them as we should. There is a haziness about the whole matter that ought not to exist in a business upon which we are depending for all that we have and all that we are. How can we be sure that our cows are all right? That their milk is rich and that they are in the producing chas, instead of living on what some one else does! Not all of us have as yet come into possession of a testing machine. More farmers own them than used to be the case; and still probably not one in a hundred farmers have one of their own. That way of determining the value of our cows is, or seems to us to be, as yet impracticable. But other men have such machines. And although it may be at some risk of humiliation and the dashing of a certain amount of pride, the best possible thing we can do is to take the milk of our cows to some such man and have it carefully tested. Then we need the courage to act accordingly. But even if this doorway is shut up against us, we may get a few bottles and do a little investigating on our own hook. Fill them from the milk of different cows and compare the cream that rises to the top. It will soon be possible to tell which are the best cows, the cows that are doing business for us, and the rest will be comparatively easy. If nothing else presents itself as practicable, we may take some of the milk of our dairy into open tea cups and let it stand till the cream has risen and test the individuals in that way. Surely in some way we must find out what our cows are doing. Competition is so sharp in these days; food products are so valuable, and time and labor so important as factors in our farm operations that we cannot afford to be working along in the dark. Sometimes warts can be removed from the teats by applying olive oil thickly after each muking. If this does not prove effective, the warts can be clipped off with a sharp pair of scissors, and each spot touched with a stick of lunar caustic. After applying the caustic, apply the olive oil. If necessary, make a second application of the caustic in two or three days. It is announced that a butter trust has now gained a foothold in Iowa that it is capitalized at $17,000,000, is a New Jersey corporation, and is rapidly taking possession of plants for manufacturing process as well as dairy butter. The first milk should not be milked upon the ground but fed to the calf. Nature prepares for the calf a special diet. This is one strong argument for letting the calf remain with the cow for a few days. If the cow dies, the calf should have a dose of castor oil to take the place of the first milk. Some dairy farmers have hit upon the idea of carrying about in their pockets a small book and pencil. Whenever they come across a task that needs doing and are unable to give it their immediate attention they jot it down. Each day they scratch the list as fast as the jobs are done. OSAWATOMIE.

Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or cowhouse, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x12 space will hold a big wagon load safely. Who real cold weather sets in we heath in a bushelful with an old amd and feed them to the laying hoorn. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep our animal heat them almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our stocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the part year, we may look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make us heath far. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ignition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the piles had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining continued to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.
