THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER THE NEGRO IN HISTORY An Interesting History of an Old Colored Lady Who Played an Important Part in the Nation's History. Mrs. R. Moore, 710 Congress street have a history of more than ordinary interest, in it covers that N. commemorary that foot of the man of the great martyrs today Mrs. Moore was in martyrs. Her number was slave belonging to James Hare who the owner in 15 years and the estate in Bally Toe, County, Virginia. On this invitation Mrs. Moore was born, M. 1539. On this portion of her to Mrs. Moore isignant as she not all enough to remember and she was never told any thing about her must recollects of her early childhood days is playing with the children of her mother. She was not forced to work in the fields and does not remember that she was ever beaten or punished in any way. 1841, one of the daughters in the family married a man by the name of Price moved to Fulton in Canaway county, Missouri. She took Mrs. Moore and one of her) (Mrs. Moore) brothers along as servants. In less than a year the brother was sold to parties who immediately moved away and although Mrs. Moore used every effer. on her power in later years, to locate this brother he was never heard of again. About this time Mrs. Moore suffered from all health and had to receive medical attention for some time. Price ran into bad luck and was unable to meet the doctor bills so Mrs. Moore was sold to Dr. Payton to liquidate the bill. As she was in poor physical condition and it was a forced sale she brought a very small amount, going to the hamster for $30. Dr. Payton moved to Harrisonville, Mo., and lived there for four years. Mrs. Moore's life during this time was very happy for she was treated with consideration by the doctor and his wife. Then a misfortune be one fell the doctor, his wife died and her sickness and death thrilled the doctor into such financial strife that he was forced to sell Mrs. Moore. This time she was purchased by a man Murphy, a traveler on the oud and "It was while living in the family of this man that Mrs. Moore received all new education and knowledge of how to rew and do domestic work of all sorts. As Mrs. Moore gave herself, "I am a Irish colored woman." The price paid for Mrs. Moore this time was $700. Murphy moved to Independence, Mo. and Mrs. Moore served as a servant in the family from 1849 and 1863. During this time she styled her education. That is, she picked it up, but by bit, as she heard from the tutors who were teaching Mugham's children. She also acquired a thorough knowledge of household work and sewing. In 1855, Murphy's wife died and the next year he married again and last was the comme cement of Mrs Moore's trouble. They moved to Johnson county and were there when the war broke out. The new masters was unlike any she had ever known before and tried in every way, to make Mrs Moore's life an unhappy one. She was an invalid and had to be waited upon every hour in the day and a about the house in town. The work of the F. F. V. appears a horrible position of authority, and no unusual that real and War broke out. 28. at the troubles occurred upon the story of Murphy. Murphy was on the fence. He not feeling the corner and with help both Dung in country in the neighbourhood was kept busy and time to making birds from home. Union and Console teams I allied into the roving battle of the attack made him the partisans of usides. When a party of "Fell" would come to the house, Mr. Magr. was a etaunch Unjust but at a party of "Lob" come and Mr. Magr. was a regular hot and Murphy was a regular hot. Bushwhackers would have an innings and Murphy would loyally dam so miles. The family, silver ware was kept hidden all the time for fear it would be carried off. About this time Mrs. Murphy took her husband into a feast of sending Mrs. Moore and another close to Texas and one and her husband went to Sedalia to get some clothes for them to wear on the trip. Mrs. Moore knew a waggon going on so she and the other slave gathered up all the goods they could and put them in a wagon train, bound and started for Harrisonville at 9 o'clock one Monday night. There were two other slaves in the party, making four in all and before they started they agreed to all tell the same story. They were to claim that they all belonged to a man named Draper. Everything went well for the first mile or so and they were beginning to congratulate themselves on their escape when a man stepped out from one side of the road and halted them with a gun. It was one of the dreaded *Bashwhackers* Mrs. Moore had a pistol but was afraid to fire it because she thought that the man must have friends near by and that these would come to his assistance if they heard the shot. The "book-makers" and them get out and allow them to take what they could carry in handles. He first questioned them to who they were and where they were going. He questioned each one separately but they stuck to the story agreed upon so well that he allowed them to go on. He didn't care anyway where they were going as he was after the goods and wanted them out of the way. Then began the long walk to Harrisonville, which they reached at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning. The Union soldiers at this place received them with open arms and made a great deal of fun over them as they did over all slaves who escaped their masters. The party reported the loss of their wagon to their commanding officer and he sent out a scouting party to recover it. Strange to say the party located the wagon and it turned the next day with every thing intact except for a few books. Mrs. Moore sent a work for people in Harnsborne and stayed there until 1861 when she was escorted with to other families, by TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 9.1911 a coating party to Laola, Kansas. There she met Mr. Moore and they were married Sept. 3, 1865. With the exception of two and a half years spent in Canon City, Color do, the rest of Mrs. Moore's life has been spent here in Emory. May 1, 1910 Mrs. Moore celebrated her 90th birthday. She has been a member of the Methodist church for 40 years. First to the white church and when the colored branch was organized she became a member of it and is at the present time a worker in that church LINCOLN. NLBR.

Mr. Lahur, Dear Sir: I have a great cause for album I took in recent years that several states have passed state laws eliminating against us as a race, which prohibits us from colling point us to train putters in proper trains. I'n laws that have been passed by some of the states as I am stand made to. All passing laws that have two passenger cars on most shall be required to have one engineer and one brakeman and one whit "digman" the several states that pass these laws are inhumane, notorious and calamitous. The laws law to rule that all persons of five or more years shall be required to have two white brakes on diagonals while it is a fact that the laws are unfit to us as a law and is also unconstitutional and contrary to the interests of common laws of the United States, yet it is having its effect who have done is much for our flag so in the above named states that men of our race cannot hold a situation of position as tram poster on account of the above law. In California, the others of the most laws of the great South the system are dispensing with its tram posters, when they have had four years white brakes. My dear editor, I am making an appeal to our people throughout the United States. My dear editor is a great people who have ever been loyal to our country and time to its constitution, and any American citizen, are we going to sit still and let the people organized white unions, which are composed of white people, and which are opposed to us as a race and which send their wealth and representatives to these several state high-times, to have laws passed against us as a race from having a chance to the blood winsome? My dear editor, I am not a politician and I have no desire to be, but I am appealing to all men of my race in all walks of life. I am a uniform employer and have been for twenty five years of my life, and I think that this matter should come us all, in the prejudice white men can have the influence to go to the state legislature throughout our United States and have have passed against us from holding so humble a position as from prison, they are held enough and the next move they will make is to have watch laws enacted and passed to prohibit us as a trace from holding a situation as shown in my other pass that has no mechanism at memory so we shall set I think that we should get at and at such will not our prejudice white brother and get together is a throughout the western country and see we cannot do something to stop this class legislating that is being done against us is a true. My dear sir I think that you can only say so through our few remarks that the proposed white man is trying hard to undermine us and to throw us all into the background of civilization I will suggest that I think that the time is at hand and very appropriate that we should call mass meetings over all this country and discuss this matter until we come to some conclusion as to what is best to do for the interest of all concerned. I will know from poster on the sand to system ATCHISON NEWS Dr. W. H.

Monday, May 29, 1911, Albert Vests Bailey, beloved and only child of Mr. Mary E. Bailey, and the late Prof. S. R. Bailey. Miss Bailey was a young woman of great prominence in social circles in this and other cities. She was born in Ohio, and brought to this city by her parents when two years old. She finished the schools of Kansas City prepared for college in Philadelphia, and took a college course at Oberlin University. Her health has not been robust for some months, but her friends were not prepared for the adversities with which she was entailed from us. The removal from our midst by the hand of death of those near and dear to us, and millions of common occurrence, daily and almost hourly, the lament of the and struck is heart, and the moments go about the streets, and yet the knowledge that death is the common lot of all that "man is born to die," creates with it no germ of consolation or comfort, when the incarvement is our own sorrow, and the loss falls inely, drearily on our own grief struck hearts. The words of kindly sympathy fall unhindered on the ear, so in the exudation of our great sorrow, we realize only the dreary truth that, our home is left unto us desolate." "Our idol is shattered our earth stuched." And the conditions of life in death surrounding others are ignored in the realization of the bitterness of our own grief. The only one whose departure is her recorded, possessed a character of peculiar sweetness and ambiability, which united with a rare grace of manner rendered her an object of affectionate regard to her numerous acquaintances and friends. While possessed of so much that renders his attractive and desirable, her life was most unobtrusive. In conclusion, while it is but human to mourn her 1642 we mourn not as those without hope, knowing she has but gone before, and with others whom we have loved and lost, will await us there. "Thou hast them all here after! Thou shalt keep them safely till that hour. When, with God a real on heart or brow, We claim them in immortal power."

Langston is an incorporated town of 500 During the school time there are from six to seven hundred students in attendance. These students are a material help to the commercial interest of Langston for the reason that they spend their money for needs while attending school and many of them who do not live in the dormitories of the University, take board and lodging in the town. This is a nice opportunity for those who are seeking opportunity for small investments in commercial enterprises as there are openings in all lines of business and the professions. Now is the time to secure the best there is in the Langston Industrial Addition before the lots are picked over and the best of them sold. We are catering to the skeptic-the fellow who will not believe. Every assertion we make we are are prepared to prove. When we say that we have the best proposition upon the market for Negro investment, we are prepared to prove it.

In the first place, you get what you buy; no shoddy or run-down features in our proposition. Secondly, you buy in an old and well established community, an educational centre, a social center in a Negro town, close to railroad and only fourteen miles from the city of Gathrie, where factories, warehouses and mercantile institutions are an indication for large investors. In fact, this is a ground-floor proposition, which bears the closest investigation. Address all communications to The Langston Industrial Co. COYLE, : OKLAHOMA. The Most Liberal Langston is one of the oldest Negro towns in the United States. Its history dates back to the opeding of Oklahoma to settlement. The town is very beautifully located in a high and healthy elevation with an abundance of good water and a good public telephone system owned and operated by a local company. There are excellent schools and churches, established business houses and everything established that would encourage a progressive Negro to make a home there. The Big Cotton Mill When the Langston Industrial Addition has been properly appreciated by the public and lots have been sold sufficient to insure the building of the cotton mill, the mill will be built and through this channel employment opened for those who live in Coyla and Langston. A market will be created for the raw material grown by the farmers around these towns. This feature alone should interest purchasers of land in any section—the chances for lucrative employment and the advantage to Between the Two Towns Langston Industrial Addition This addition as stated above is one mile from Coyle and just between the town of Coyle and Langston. Coyle is the railroad station for Langston and a white town where considerable business is transacted, yet there are also the regular business houses in Langston where Negroes are making their showing as men capable of attending to their own business affairs. The location is all that could be desired—level and healthy. The landscape is inviting, and a trip to Langston will convince the prospective buyer that our addition is as good an investment as can be found anywhere. Our assertion that our proposition is the most liberal and attractive proposition of its nature ever offered to any people white or colored, we are ready to stand to and to demonstrate by actual view. The Langston industrial addition is all that is claimed for it. Investigate and join the Langston community. Hon. W. T. VERNON returned to Washington, D. C., last week after spending several days with his aged father who had been seriously ill. He had pressing business at the capital. The Kansas delegation in congress and the entire West are pushing him for minister to Hatt. As we go to press, the telegraph tells of his having been appointed supervisor of schools for the five civilized tribes of Indians with headquarters at Muskogee, Okla What is the matter with Joe Taggert, county attorney of Wyandotte county, is he trying to help the two Jim's order fake the people? He is showing unnecessary concern in their welfare for the benefit of an honest people who are being unconscientiously duped by the order. Taggart swore to a complaint against us for publishing the facts as brought out in the trial of the case. Taggert should try and close up this fake order. He relies on their commission from the insurance department to do business in Kansas. Don't you know Mr County Attorney Taggart of Wyandotte, one of the largest counties in Kansas, that many a corporation has been permitted to do business in the state and failed with the peoples' money before the department found it out. So it is with this order. The insurance department is just like you and most white people—don't care what happens among the colored people, just so they rob each other it is all right. The local council at Edwardsville invited J. G. Groves, grand treasurer to visit the council and tell how many members are in good standing and the amount of money on hand. We are told by members that Mr. Groves failed to show up, giving as an excuse that his horse was sick, yet he was only about three hundred yards from the meeting. The members are becoming disgusted and quitting. Write W. J. Bennett, of Edwardsville, president of the local council and he will tell you that the above statement is true. He was a witness in the case tried recently and says things look dark to him. Now my dear Mr. Joseph Taggart, he away by night unto the recesses of your heart and answer this question for the benefit of the public and the policy holders as the officers of the order have failed to do. How can they keep up with a declining membership from 183 members in 1909 to 209 in 1910. If all claims were paid at the close of their fiscal year Dec. 31, 1910 with a balance of $17 in treasury and a liability of forty-five thousand dollars besides a number of sick and accident policies not included in this report and which the whitewash agent of the insurance department made no report as to facts and figures concerning it. Now my dear Joseph, if you can show us how the order can exist with such a showing meet all claims and pay all expense, then we will plead guilty to malicious libel. If you can't, you should address an article through the columns of this pader declaring that you were mistaken and not qualified for county attriy big Jim wanted to fight and threatened to do us bodily harm if we publish any reg out his fake order. cal la askula-as Washington, dum. n. c. h. foe poe ear rall. U. N. commanding the county post at Port Meyer. N. today was open mandled by the secretary of war and orders from President U. H. for reporting adversely an application of a solider for the right to take examination in the promotion to commissioned grade on the ground in Jewish percentage. The president said it was hard to deal with the matter with patience and with out condemnatory words that had better not be written." The president's action has created something of a sensation not only among army troops but throughout Washington. The young soldier involved in the controversy is Frank Bloom, a private in battery I of the Third Battalion and is now on duty on the Mexican border. Several years ago Bloom was urged for appointment to West Point. President Roosevelt did not bring in a position at the time to make the appointment suggested to Bloom that he should not like a time American fight his way up from the ranks. The young man took the advice, entered the army where he is said to have made a good record and recently took his first examination for promotion. It is said that Bloom failed on the examination but in view of the president brought about by the colonel I torand on assignment Bloom will be ordered up for final examination again in September. On this point Laft in letter to Sonny Wolf of the city said, "I shall take steps to so see that the examination to which Private Bloom is subjected is one in which he will be given a fair chance and not be exposed to any unjust prejudice." Colonel Cattard's appointment to Bloom's papers to which President Taft so strongly objected when brought to his attention was as follows: The applicant is a son of Mr Joseph A Bloom of Jewish presidents who is now and has been for a number of years a tutor at this post. His reservations as for I will know and that of his family have been with established men and their families and have been respectable. The young man is immobilized by honest and upright, ambitions and decivings, but for the reasons stated I would not desire him in my command as an officer and a social and personal associate. The presence of the applicant's family at a military post would be subservient to discipline and their probable treatment a source of morbidity to those and frequent use of trouble to commanding officers. From an experience of many years I have found respect in a low stress, low communities where laws are received in a dignified manner. In doing this, the letter 100 was My Dear Secretary, I am here with all to from Simon Wolf, lawyer and a very present and respectful citizen of Washington. This gives to the statement he makes every presumption of country and the truth. It is difficult for me to control the endorsement of tool forward and forth in this letter with patience and without contemptuous words that had better not be written I wish you to examine the record and verify the statement of Mr. Wolf and it has not been maintained and had better sets forth the facts, clear that this sentence must be similar to examination for a justification in the arms. The statements by Col. O'Connor are true with reference to the striking that does have in this country and I consent as commissioner in chief of the army and the navy that any officer of either should permit himself in an official dismantle to give witness of such unfortunate and narrow too presumption is that a tumult in this endorsement. After you have made an assessment of the record please advise of your action. Work in the impound issued from the White House was to follow. The president must the secretary of war to confirm of the secretary his attentia on this matter to strengthen his approval as to the needs and principles of the country. COLLISION and has been all that the had not the moral right to consent in the case on his official position to be the governor of a courageous and other young man sample to use that man was not wash take that such procedure indicates not only promise that should not be found on the floor of a position and expect that means to allow the man and claims of the applicant to be owned by his absent state and any offending standing on the moral examination those. COLLISION has been announced to avoid competition in the trial on this case. President Tatt should go slow on the Jew question as he may set the American colored man to thinking. Thousands of outrages have been heaped upon the colored race since he has been president and any number of out rageous decisions against them by both the United States and state courts. Now comes the wandering Jew who has been denied the rights of a man and the President quiesce yells hands off. Now be fair Mr. Taft. You know the colored man is not being treated fair by the government at Washington. There are hundreds of things going on in the army and easy that never come to public notice that work a hardship and disadvantage on them.

He can my or join the II It take justice a lot from wro then she does, m will be swept from the earth by her long hoped for return, or it may take the Jew or some accidental court decision, strike 'or boycott to arouse the righteous and well meaning people to their sense of duty, but nevertheless the pendulum has began to return.

HON. WM. H HARRISON, attorney and counsellor at law, is in example of the possibilities, in this new state for a young man possessed with the qualities which go to make a successful professional mind, with ability and pluck behind the individual. Mr. Harrison is one of the leading men in his profession in Oklahoma and an knowledgeful leader of the race in all matters in which they are concerned. His confidence of the people he has earned by carefully making his way step by step with the growth of the country and the indus of the Negro population into the new state. His record is that of a clean public, honorable in all his dealings and a constant student of the future of the country generally, which affect the Negro. He came into Oklahoma a few years ago, a young man who had just came out of school, where he had made his showing through his own perseverance and ambition to make his mark in the world—a self. made man, in every way. He had had none of the intelligence of man who we will all support him unong such but was too cold so it knew not to be called to our attention. He could not come here. He had not in placing recalled examination and was admitted to practice before the county of the state. From that date, he has made Oklahoma and Oklahoma City his home, mixing freely in the affairs that have made the history of the state during life time. Mr. Harrison was born in Clay County, Most uppl, upon a farm; was educated at Roger-William University, Nashville, Fenn.. after which he took a post graduate graduate course in Chicago University. He studied law at Wadlen University, graduating from that in 1902. For four years, before graduating from the law depart. [Name] ment of Walden, he taught higher mathematics in Roger-Williams University. In September, 1902, he was admitted to practice law in Oklahoma, and from the beginning his success has been phenomenal. His record as a lawyer is unequaled in the Southwest, and his superior ability is recognised throughout the United States. As a criminal lawyer he is making a reputation that places him among the very best in the state, and each case he handles only adds honor to his already established reputation, in that line. He is the legal counsel for the National Burtist Convention, the largest body of Norros in the United States, perhaps in the world. He is the leading lawyer in the fama of Jim Crow, where in the Negroes of the state of Oklahoma are using the act on Oklahoma in order that the may get them in justice which they were pursued in the passage of the Jim Crow legal act, in the first legal future of the new state. The case is now in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Harrison has others in the Brain Building Oklahoma City, which are beautifully and conveniently furnished with everything which might be desired for the comfort and convenience of a man in his profession, including a law library worth $2,000. He is an active church worker and was elected a delegate to the Eunianical Congress, which met at Edinburgh, Scotland in 1910. He has commuted considerable property some of which is to the most desirable sections of the city, and from which he collects good rentals. He is a married man and has a family of two children, who are intelligent and interesting. Mr. Harrison is a young man with a bright future before him. He is a talented worker and an aggressive opponent, the elements of a successful leader, which he is amongst his people. In his home town, Mr. Harrison is regarded as being the class and kind of man whose ability appeals to the sympathy of the best people and he is respected for his intelligence and ability as a professional man of the highest rank.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mail every week. The good-natured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the tripper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what number he receives.

Baugman Bros., Grocery Co., Wholesalers AND MUSKOGEE No. 10 Flour NOTES FROM MEADOWBBOOK FARM By William Pitt Consult with your help. A good accept at a high Are you trod about your chicken yard. Feed very little soft feed and you will raise more chicks. Clover can be grown more cheaply than timothy or fodder corn. Bran and meat meal help to supply the young sown with muscle and bone. By putting a little fine hay in the calf's mouth daily she will soon learn to eat. Parley is next to lettuce in winter marketing—both profitable—when well grown. One of the most important problems of the farmer is to feed his animals economically. Borrowing tools, and sending them home dull or rusty, doesn't make the other fellow grin. Young as well as old orchards should be plowed in the fall, and thoroughly harrowed in the spring. Celery seed should be sown in a shallow drill and covered with just a light sprinkling of fine earth. Don't cultivate the potatoe when out in bloom, or coming out, unless you want a lot of stunted little tubers. If there are signs of worms in your hogs, feed concentrated lye, one-half teaspoonful to each animal well mixed in slop or soft feed. If sweet butter is to be made which will command the highest market price, cleanliness must begin in the stable where the milking is done. Go over the young apple trees and cut off every water sprout with a sharp knife close to the trunk. Do it early and they will heal this season. The proper time to set out fruit and deciduous trees is the latter part of October and the latter part of March or first part of April, in the spring. It is estimated that Colorado farmers last year received $7,500,000 for their sugar beet crop, an increase of $1,000,000 over the product of the previous year. In the opinion of many eastern feeders, best development of livestock cannot be had without the use of roots or silage to supply succulent feed during winter. String a stout wire overhead in the cow barn and hang the lantern to this while milking and feeding. It can be slid along from place to place and is safe handled this way. In setting one fruit tree, or many, the ground should be deeply plowed, thoroughly harrowed and the rows for the trees run out with the two-horse plow. Run the plow twice in each row. A owe without milk makes a poor mother. Feed if necessary to get the milk flow, and you'll find the investment a good one. Roots of any kind, alfalfa hay, or a small grain food will work wonders. A slout wiro netting fence fastened to slout posts set two and one half feet deep in the ground and eight feet apart makes the best hog fence; have board at bottom and one at top to keep the wiro tight Might as well give the trees plenty of room at the start because if you don't they will have to be cut out later. Third, feet apart is the right distance for apple trees, although 40 feet would not do any harm The future of the dairy business depends upon the quality of our products. It is a sad commentary on the dairy business, when we hear dealers and consumers argue that oleo is better than one half of the butter, that finds its way to the market. When the mother's milk cannot be used for her calf, try to get the milk from a cow with a calf as old as the one you are feeding on the bottle, as the milk of a cow in the seventh or eighth month of her period of lacta then is bad for a very young calf. Hire what men you need early. It is very difficult to tell the age of fucks. That weed right in the hill is your worst enemy. The farmer is not much different from anybody else. Home grown plants are much superior to bought plants. Cattle will never do well in the same pasture with sheep. Land intended for spring crops should be plowed in the fall. Have the holes for the trees to be removed dug wide and deep. Equab raising seems to be a favorite occupation with suburban people. Large trees should be taken up when the earth is frozen around the roots. A farmer can tell the value of corn stover without making any serious mistake. Land intended for roots should be plowed as soon as the ground is dry enough to work. Mix poultry droppings with an equal quantity of fine earth, and put one handful to the hill. As soon as the calf learns to eat hay, place one handful of whole cats in the feed box once a day. A beautiful hedge is made by using simulias in the back row, then callipops with white phlox as a border. Mangles and sugar beets are the best roots to grow for cattle, sheep and pigs, and Belgian carrots for horses. Asters can be planted in rows of white and lavender, with very pleasing results, provided the same kind is used in each row. Young turkeys usually have black feet, which after two years turn gray and dull, and become paler and more sickly as age advances. Surplus suckers in blackberry or red raspberry patches should be treated just like weeds; don't let the rows get too wide nor too thick. Hens in good health having access to the dust bath will usually keep free from lice. The house should be swept clean every morning. In most all branches of business competition is generally recognized as a great stimulant, but in the creamery business it has been overdone. The storekeeper who keeps eggs in his cellar from a week to a month needs to be looked after. Eggs should be shipped along as fast as possible. Let the calk suck the cow a few days; this milk is not fit for human feed and is what the calf needs to cleanse the bowels and tone up the system. It is said that naval oranges sprung from a single tree that was found growing on the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea, nearly 350 years ago. In dipping pigs great care must be exercised to cover every part of his body from tall to snout. If a patch as big as a thumb nail is left untouched it may contain the nucule of a new crop. Look well after the water. Keep it always before the fowls, pure and clean, and renew it frequently. Do not allow them to eat snow. Do not let them drink water grown topld in the sun. More insects will be killed in a greenhouse if fumigating apparatus be placed near the roof so that the fumes will descend, rising vapors leaving the lower part of a house partially fumigated. In careful tests made at the several stations it is found that there is little or no difference in the feeding value of the dry matter of roots and enslage and the general opinion is in favor of the silage. Honey is the purest and the least harmful of sweets. The honey crop is mostly gain, for no flowers need necessarily be raised to pasture the bees. They aid in the fertilization of fruit trees and the smaller clovers. Hog cholera is estimated to have been the cause of losses of over $2, 000,000 to farmers of Illinois, but in the future this loss will be greatly lowered. It is firmly believed, now that serum is being manufactured and used extensively, says the Swino breeder. By far the best way to use manure for grain is to spread and mix it with the soil before drilling; the best way to top dress the grain early in the fall, and the third best during the winter, when ground is dry enough to haul over. Clay is called a heavy soil and sand a light soil. This does not refer to weight, however. Light and heavy as applied to soils are terms which refer to the ease or difficulty with which they can be plowed or cultivated.

The inhabitants between the people of the county generally are not small places and there are many of the races than are common in many other parts of the state due to the fact that the town here at Kingston has a large population with the majority of its residents being men. Also, there is a large number of women in the town and it is not uncommon to see women in the town. The people of Kingston count that they are well trained and conduct themselves in a manner that does not show the respect shown to the people of their community. Kingston's county has been fortunate in having hard work from the beginning in giving teachers to children and who have given a service to the public that will be to them and to the years to come. Prior Hal, conductor of the Normal, is a native of the state of Virginia. He began training in 1852 and taught in the State Institute for two years, all on a Normal course at Stetson College.

STONG PRAISE OF NEGRO SCHOOLS OF GUTHRIE As manager of the police station, I have made a point of my duty, which we will discuss the opening of the schools in the principal schools where the majority of the numbers are in parochies of my people in the national district and I have to say that it works. In the schools of southern and northern areas, we are in the first of our efforts to improve the quality of the school work, and we are working in our main ministries. In my travels through out the country I have not quite a number of former pupils on the southern side and I have not met them there that we are holding them down as students in the schools and as teachers in the schools. I notice that the work on the pupils of the thoughts and thoughts schools and also that of the high school is upon exhibition in the school buildings for the inspection of those who are interested and I find it up to the standards on the best schools I have visited in the states and other further north and west in the exhibition of the grammar department, or written work in all the subjects taught the art department, showing drawings and paintings in the drama department, showing plays using attributes of clothing, and the samples of cooked food, in the manual training department, showing the tables chairs and other articles, or practical value all be spoken to the good people of southern through their superintendent and the efficient apposit to share the key selected for the Negro schools in interest which is aimed at by the parents and pupils who will result in great good in the out in the making of good institutions with an excellent collection for those who have access to them advantages as good as the best the country affords.

Horseradish is mostly grown for the packers. Too much care cannot be given the dairy utensils. The calf should be trained to lead and be halter broke. Don't have a lot of manure living in the yards all summer. Obtaining the seed is the important thing in growing potatoes. Parsley seed should be sown in a protected spot or in the cold trune. A very desirable and useful tool which is not found on all terrains is a level Sweet potatoes to pile a warm sandy soil well it'll with rich rotted mixture Turkey eggs set this month will give good silible carcasses for Christmas feasts Two sprinklings a week with kerosene oil should keep the house free from insect pests New potatoes can be got earlier by allowing the seed to sprout in strong light before planting Practical farmers know the value of playing and hatching land when in the right order for working Just one setting of thoroughbred eggs may be the means of working a revolution in your poultry business Don't keep little ducks and chickens together if it can be avoided. Keep each separate, and they will both do better The best marked helper calves from the largest and most persistent milkers should be tailed and not sold to the butcher for a few dollars. When geese become quite old—say, five or six years they acquire an abdominal pouch of large size, and this is an unfailing sign of old age. To have large juicy stalks of rhubarb and long, straight roots of horseradish the ground must be fully 12 to 16 inches in depth and finally pulverized. Give the setting hen a thorough dusting with insect powder two or three times during the incubation. This may save your little chicks from lice and mites. Farmers now having a soil can very well afford to grow what roots they need to give at least one peek of sliced roots daily to each head of stock wintered. Sore necks in horses are due usually to one of two causes, a short collar or too great weight coupled with the side motion as noted in a two-wheeled vehicle. Divide the dahlia roots and start some but not all of them. The early-planted out dahlia comes into flower during the hot weather, and they will not give so large flowers as later planted roots. Plow your ground deep and prepare the soil as carefully as you would for the corn field. Nature often performs wonders with trees, but as a general rule she ought to have a little intelligent help. If you are quite sure that alfalfa will not grow on your land try Muskra rape. It makes fine hog pasture—some farmers even going so far as to say that it bears clover, which of course it does not. A few years ago when concentrates were cheap, sheep and wool were also cheap. Now wool is worth twice as much as it was ten years ago and the sheep must have some rich food in order to grow a rich fleece. Ground oil meal may be either the old or the new process. The old process oil meal is made into cake by pressing the oil out of the flaxseed by high hydraulic pressure, but these cakes are frequently ground before selling If your favorite cherry tree is badly leached, clean up everything in the cavity as carefully as your dentist would prepare a tooth for filling, then spray thoroughly with a two per cent, solution of formalin. Fill the cavity solid with cement and paint over all. Feu gieoiaee Estee
