Order Increasing Numerically and Intellectually. The Sunfl. wee Grand Lodge, K of P., met in its eighteenth annual session at Lah, Jul. 24, 27. This was one of the best dinners thus in the room ever held. The local committee of Song of Myrt Lodge and Golden Hilt are to be congratulated for the fine reception and a commodious ten dured the representatives and vipers The citizen, both white and colored searched in the hours of making it pleasant for the guests Loh is a beautiful city with fine parks, wide streets and good buildings. The count house is located in a beautiful blue grass park, with shade trees and fountains of water cooling the atmosphere and where crowds of people enjoy themselves. The formal opening of the session was held in the Woodman hall, where the public was invited to attend. In delivering the addresses of welcome, Mayor Bollinger and Judge Atchison, one of the foremost lawyers of Kansas, caught the attention of the audience. They assured the delegates that they were welcome to the city and that they felt it their duty to extend them all that is due any citizens who are endeavoring to uphold law and dignity. This was the first time that a white public officer ever addressed this order and remained to the close of the exercises. He is a man who believes in "all men up and no one down." The address of H. I. Monroe and the blind merchant, Mr. S Stewart of Bassett, a suburb of Iola, aroused the audience and set everyone thinking. They discussed race pride and progress, colored enterprises and the duty of white citizens toward the colored race. The two bodies separated and settled down to business in the afternoon, the court meeting in the G. A. R. hall. The report of Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis showed the order in good working condition He made a number of good recommended for the advancement of the order which were enacted into laws. He has a --- M. H. H. John E. Lewis, G. C.

He set up recent lodges during the past year, and reported all business of the various departments keeping pice with the timer. The reports of the other grand officers were first clues, and we each must read his memoir he placed the cash on the table, a swing that the money was on hand. This has never occurred in the history of the order. The Past Chancellor's degree was conferred on twenty five or more Memorial services were held on Thursday evening at the Second Baptist church. Rev. J. W. Gordon, pastor, who is the grand prelate, reached the sermon. He is one of Kansas' leading pulpit orators and is member to pay the sermon. Arrangements had been made for a parade and picnic on Thursday, but on account of run it was postponed. On Thursday evening the officers were installed at the armory, Prof R H. Wade performing the ceremony in a way that was interesting to the audience of over five hundred persons. Prof. Payne's Military band, which furnished the music for the occasion, and which gave a concert on the court house square, which was enjoyed by a large crowd of white and colored, is one of the finest concert bands in the state. Fort Scott and Wichita were the places offered for the next session. Wichita won by a close vote. The Grand Court of Calaythe is moving and prospering under the good business attention given by Mrs. Lulu Summers, the Grand Worthy Counsellor, who has the work a heart. She has done much to improve and increase the membership. Hon, John K. Lewis will do more this year than ever to surpass his work for the previous year. The members have great confidence in him as he has proven to be honest and capable. The present grand officers are to be congratulated upon their work Pythianism in Kansas is growin.g The seventeenth annual session of Sunflower Grand Court Order of Calanthe, met in conjunction with Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. O W M TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG, 4 1911 ot 1. at lola. The three days session was marked for a great amount of business transacted in an unusually quick and quiet manner. The weather during the first two days was delightfully cool and pleasant, which helped the ladies to keep a stock of patience and good humor; the fact that there were fewer men than usual attending the court sessions and participating in the deliberations gave the ladies a good opportunity to prove their business ability. The order of business was interrupted on a day for a few minutes to allow the ladies to divert their minds from their ardent labors as officers, committee members and floor workers by listening to papers, recitations, vocal and instrumental music from its talented members. In spite of this, they were able to expedite matters so as to adjourn shortly after noon on Thursday, at least six hours earlier than the adjournment of the 1910 session. It was shown during the session that the subordinate courts had increased their membership with a younger and more able class of women, which speaks well for the Court of Calanthe in the years to come. Four new courts were set up during the term, and the same number suspended by the capable G. W. C., Mrs. Lulu Summers, in accordance with Calanthian laws. Death claims amounting to $800 were paid from the endowment treasury, and a balance of $687.24 was reported by the officers of that department. The various committees reported new rules and recommended various improvements for the progress of the order, and the reports of the officers showed that they had renewed their zeal as the growth of the order added to their duties. In the election of officers no changes were made. At the close of the annual report of the G. W. C. on the second day, the rules were suspended and she was by acclamation re-elected for another term. The G. R. D., G. R. Dep, G. S. E B, and G. T. E. B. were re-elected in the same way when they finished their reports. At the regular time for election of officers, nearly every one was re-elected by acclamation. There was very little contesting. Provision was made for the publication of the new constitution, which was approved by the Supreme W. C. last year. Also for defraying the expenses of two representatives to the Supreme session that convenes in Indianapolis, Ind. next month. Steps were taken to promote the work of the juvenile department and to insure its success. Greetings were sent Supreme W C., Joseph Jones, P. G. W C W. W. Plumb, Seattle, Wn., the Missouri grand court in session at Springfield and Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. P., holding sessions across the court house square. Memorial services were held at the Second Baptist church Wednesday night, Rev. J. W. Gordon, Grand Prelate, who is pastor of the church, delivered an impressive sermon and Mrs. Mollie Cox delivered an eulogy upon the life of the late S. W. C., Starks. A choir made up of representatives from the different courts sang a number of appropriate selections. A liberal collection was given. While in section news was received of the death of Mrs Emily McClain, a member of Excelsior court, Cherokee A resolution was passed expressing gratitude to the people of Iola for the gracious manner in which they extended the hospitality to the members of the grand court The people of Iola are a happy set, light-hearted and light-footed; they never seemed to tire of triping the light fantastic, and their happiness was no tree and contagion that it affected several stud o'l professors, who consequently will have to straighten up matters with their chur he be to the new continuation Fake Insurance Companies Beth, Kim July 21, 1911.

What Their Arm Should Be, and What They Already You Do to the Rose. They Should Mean to the Race (P. Dennis, N. Thompson, Balthus, Kans.) Organization has been one of the most potent factors in the development of our great commonwealth, and its unanticipated resources. Through the medium of wise and faithful organization, it has been possible to accomplish almost everything within the reach of human skill, yet when improperly conceived, organization has proven to be one of the most detrimental weapons at the disposal of those who would contend to use it. Through the power of organization, great monarchies have been raised up, empires have fallen before it, whether for the better, or for the worse the whole world resorts to organized effort to reach a successful and To make a long story start, the whole world is one great organization; it is Nature's manifesto; some time we are wont to reflect upon the future possibilities of organization, when we look about us and consider the great good that has come about through organization of the right kind. When we come to consider the Negro as an organized body, we are naturally hopeful that his coming together might at all times be conducive of a higher order of things. The Negro should never consider organization in the light that many are want to do, at this time, but he must feel that whatever steps he may pursue in this direction, had latter be for the promotion on the latter interests of his race, and not merely for social and political reasons, as is too often the case. The greatest number of organizations among the Negroes are for the most part fraternal, as they feel that they must be cared for in the time of disability, and death, which is probably responsible for this particular class, being in excess of others. The Negroes do not figure to any great extent in substantial business organizations, a fact which must be neglected, since it is true that such organizations are the basis of success of any nationality. The Anglo-Saxon by reason of majority of numbers, wealth and prestige, are in a better position than the Negroes to maintain fraternal organizations, and yet while this is true, they are seemingly putting more stress on business, of which they have an organization in every avenue. In casting about, here and there, one may find that they are all in unity; professional men, farmers and all, while the Negro has his best eye on the "lodge" or fraternal order, so he can have a large crowd and a band to follow him to the cemetery. But he must begin to look it matters in a different light now. How the Negro can afford to ignore the things that have brought success to other people, is a matter for shop con- servation, yet while he succeeds in his way, it is not in any great measure, and therefore cannot be listing. The chief aim of the organization should tend to an improvement of conditions, no matter in what capacity it may be, at there is no thought of bet- tlement over the all order of things, there is no need of bringing together any body of people, because the organization of all designed people is no good for that people. The great trouble with faternal orders among the Norse is that the older family, for one year I have been taking a study of the conditions of some of the faternal orders in the annual districts. There is little reason to doubt, but that these organizations are gotten [Name] up in good faith, and probably would work out for the good of the tree were it not for that spirit of忍恨 that patriates the hands and souls of those appointed to the leadership thereof. These would be so called, self-appointed leaders, who go out from the city into the rural districts as organizers, are doing more to disorganize the people than any dozen other calls that are sent at this time. But why should one be surprised at this state of affairs? If we organizers are after the money; they as a general rule place at the head of an organization persons who are incompetent and not fitted to lead. Lee leaders are not locked with a view to ethnicity or what they might be able to do in the way of uplifting the people, but they always come from the class that claim to be able to unite all the people regardless of what they are, or where they come from. Right here is where the organization is working a detriment to the Negro. The binding together of persons of questionable character, is an act that must be looked upon as unworthy by people who are looking forward to the uplift of the race. One father says, he wants his daughter in the organization because all the rest of the young people of the community are in it; he does not stop to consider that there are some of the worst classes of people connected therewith; that the leaders are an ignorant set, who delight in poisoning the minds of the young people against the right. It is high true that parents would look into this matter, and try to save their children. The organizers with their turbulent language and hospitable pictures of the possibilities of an order, and easy money among the unspecting. The larger the prospective organization, the more the money for the promoter who cares not what kind of people he gets together, since he gets his commission, after which the community has to suffer the consequence. The Negro race has reached the point where it must put a ban on those "organizer-believers" who are simply preteners; all you are on the Negro, and the best that he can do will meet with severe criticism. It seems then that it should be the highest duty of every Negro to lend a hand in this matter of race advancement; something more than talk is necessary, because the people as a rule generally follow a good talker, and if he is not right, he will sooner or later trap himself. To be honest with the people is one of the highest recommendations any leader could wish for. Why not be honest then? It looks a great deal better than trying to pull the wool over the people's eyes in order to mislead them, and then whoever the newspapers take notice of the fact, condemn them and try to place the publishers behind the bars. The organization in my opinion should moin what we be best for the Negro, and should, therefore, promote a higher standard with allty. The leader orga- zizing the people just to get a large crowd together is a very poor one, and the Negro race cannot afford to unite a lot much longer. When the le- gion付介 intellectuals of the two le- gions, the question naturally arises to why there are not more business organizations material of a small ones. We are being confronted more and more each year with the fact that a race NUMBER 31 occupying the position that the Negro two does cannot allied to give over the best of its time to pleasure and things that it unprofitable. The organization is all right in the right place, but there is one fact invariable—the business organization must be legitimate if we are to succeed. It matters not what our avocation, let us have an organization to further the in- traits of our particular calling, let us get together and talk over our business, and exchange ideas in a business way, but let us throw those fellows overboard who are always ready to organize the important class in order that they may build and maintain a kingdom of rule or rule, and that they might be king. There is no longer room for this class of scapologist if the Negro race is to have organizations of any description, let them select persons of intelligence to steer the ship, who are capable of fully interpreting the meaning of united effort. ```markdown ``` It's high time that we would throw off our goggles and get down to business.

THE PROVINCE OF A STATE FAIR WHAT VISITOR MAY LEARN. New Ideas Acquired From Hearing Experts Talk and Saeing the Newest Developments In Farming, Live Stock Raising and Domestic Science Points For Exhibitors. To look upon a fair as a place of amusement only is a mistaken idea. It is a great educator. The instruction the scholar gets in the school of college is no more valuable than the instruction of the ideas of advancement and betterment presented by the coffee and bits of the best inventions. The mistaken idea that a state or even a county or district fair can be made up without the co-operation of a large number of exhibitors should be dispelled by Kansans and a little bit of study given the question. For instance, a woman going through the fine arts department looks carefully over the fancy work exhibited there, suddenly comes to the conclusion that she has a piece of drawn work, a fancy quilt or something else of her handiwork that beats anything she has seen there. It is too late then to enter it, but she wishes she had. Now, if all were of the disposition of this woman there would not be any exhibits in any of these departments. Those who have pride in their state, their city and their fair will take what they have to the fair. Though it may be mehore as to merit, it often wins a premium for lack of something better. No one will desire to take articles or displays without any memorious value to a fair, but where there is merit do not hide it, but bring it out. It may be an incentive for others to do something as good or better for the next fair. The main object of any fair is to gather for display the host that can be collected to put to the front for the inspection of visitors a diversified advertisement of what can be accomplished in the district, county or state by its people. The premium list of any fair is worth perusal and if the citizen is worth a place in the community or commonwealth he or she can find some way to cooperate toward the success of that fair. The premium list of the Kansas State Fair at Lopsk offers many inducement to all classes of people to put their best foot forward to put their shoulder to the wheel and push for the success of the fair. If they have many famous children they are well repaid. Their trouble be concerning them too of play. Don't throw them there in movies willing one whose handworks are so much ill that you will stand no show in competition. The judges will see that Yourm may be the host who lost your knowing it. The most of the funeral directors as institution sent out invitations to members for old men at the annual meeting. Many did not respond, others said they came to hear the follows from the big towns who were better post to and better to the other. The secretary tried that lunch at the meeting and took them that the best condition in a small town while the worst lot in the town was under the direction of a undertaker in a large customary that country undertaker or could work in any all around the big town and story of how he did his work was then been worth them stands of it to the man from whom he on could learn how to do things with the most obvious village resident. Often they have worthy and illustrious articles of some kind or other that would create more interest at a fair than any on show there, but they make the mistake of believing that they stand no show alongside of their more enlightened city cousin. Don't hide your light under a bushel; bring forth the best that's in you, whatever it may be, and thereby contribute to the dilification of others and incidentally boost your fair Many an exhibitor has been surprised that his exhibit has won a prize. But if he hadn't made the entry he would have never known. This progressive age demands more than the old fashioned agricultural show. It must combine diversified exhibits covering every branch of manufacture, and must of necessity carry with it some form of amusement that will divert the young mind, particularly, from all work and no play. The exposition idea has consequently dominated of late, but however complex the ingredients of a fair of today it cannot get away from the educational feature. It must show to the world the best that can be produced from the farm, the factory, the mill and the shop, as a boost for the locality in which the fair is held so with a state fair it covers the entire state and must be a demonstration of the highest achievements of its people, whether farmers or mechanics. The in it is a full are but the silt that is fath and a wick of visiting was from but a wet coat in some form of a fun Just as a dentist attending us to delegate from his home town he in the last convention of dentists will require some form of amusement to while away some of the hours of his trip so will the stock breeder, showing fine cattle or interested in selling that brunch of the fair. look about for some diversion during his stay in the city. He is educated and amused. Because the fair is an educator is very good reason why the people should lend their encouragement. Though they have no idea of taking up the work along advanced lines to that they may earn premiums is no reason why the taking up of the work by others will not indirectly benefit them. The encouragement of the producers of the best in all lines is the object of all fairs. Any patriotic citizen should be willing to lend his presence as a boost to the exhibitor even though he is not a producer himself. That is a small matter, but if followed by everybody would make of the state fairs the world's best colleges. All sorts of advertisers will boost their particular method of advertising, but it can be truthfully said that no advertiser will deny that besides being an educator, the state fair is the best advertisement that the state can possibly get. OUR SEA FIGHTERS. United States Navy Will Make Notable Exhibit at the State Fair. If Kansas was connected with the coast by a waterway of sufficient size she might enjoy a naval display of real war vessels. But being landlocked as she is does not prevent Uncle Sam from demonstrating by immense models the lighting units of the navy. Through the efforts of the management of the Kansas State Fair Topeka will have the honor of presenting to the patrons of the Fair one of the most interesting and valuable lessons in sea warfare ever shown in the west. In compliance with requests through accredited authorities the navy department has consented to send several naval officers here during the Fair with an exhibit that is now being assembled at the Washington naval bureau. This exhibit will occupy space in the arts building and will include six large models of the various types of war vessels in our navy, by which the unlightened may gain a correct idea of the way the man behind the guns live at sea and how America has attained supremacy for its market insist with monster guns. There will be exhibits from the electrical and steam gunners classes, which will be full of interest and which will be trained to many thousands who have never seen the workings of our navy in peace or war except through pictures. More can be got from the total thing than pictures can point to, and with the presence of experienced others to explain every detail there is no reason why this exhibit should not make the Kansas landlocker just as familiar with the workings of the navy as the residents of the coast states. The acceptance of this government exhibit is something never recorded other than a world fair in the past, and its coming reefs are not to be upon the Kansas State Fair managers. Topeka's Invitation.

R. PATTERSON & SONS, GREENWELL, O Alcott Home, Where "Little Women", Was Written, to Become Museum V. E. F. F. F. THOUSANDS of those who enjoyed reading "Little Women" when they were younger than they are now will be interested in knowing that the house in which Louisa M. Alcott wrote the famous book is to be turned into a museum in which relics of the famous author will be housed. The book was written in the Orchard House, in Concord, Mass. This building was erected about 1650 and was at first occupied by John Hoar, a son of the first immigrant of that name to reach New England. It passed into the ownership of the Alcott in 1857, and it was from there that Louisa started forth to nurse wounded soldiers in 1862, and it was there she recovered from hospital fever a year or so later. It was in 1868 that she wrote "Little Women," which was her third book and by far the most successful she ever wrote. She wrote "Little Men" while living in Europe. Orchard House has recently been unoccupied, and it was going to ruin when the Women's club of Concord undertook to raise funds to preserve it. The house and grounds were bought for $8,000, and several rooms have already been opened to the public, contributions of from 10 cents to $2 coming from all sections of the country. Concord is visited every year by thousands of strangers because of its historic interest. The picture above shows the home as it now appears, together with a likeness of Miss Alcott.

Young Doctor Makes Great Progress Among All the People-Owns Automobile and Can Speak With the Italians. Special to the New York NY Asbury Park, N. I., April 25—Dr William I. Park is making things lively for his numerous white competitors. Although Dr Parks has been practicing only five years in Asbury Park, his practice still points toward on the south wall of Long Branch on the north, a distant about eight miles on the west, he is highly respected by law and is in contact with whom he comes. Not only is his practice extended to other areas, but the Long Branch Memorial Hospital has extended the courtesy of allowing him to operate upon his private patients who are able to enter the pro wards and have their own physician. So many patients have among the Italian colonies that he is swimming their native tongue to communicate with them. So well does he use the language that the Italian at the priest who is his tutor, insisted upon his singing the tenor solo parts of the Easter must. The accompanying out is of the new car just purchased by the doctor and is said to be the hit of the season. The car is a Regal 20' and is said to be capable of making sixty miles an hour. The doctor has been driving a Maxwell runabout but finds it too light for his summer rushes up and down the coast. Among his own people Dr. Purks also stands high and is frequently consulted outside of his profession. ALBUOUERQUE.

Just one year ago today we laid away The one we loved so well; How lonely our hands are today No tongue can ever tell.

Clerk of District Court. First published July 22ad, 1911 BLAZE OF GLORY AT STATE FAIR Pain's Most Spectacular Production Pictured In Fire—Liberati's Famous Band and Twenty Grand Opera Singers at Popular Prices—Live Stock and Art Exhibits. The night entertainments at the Kansas State Fair at Iopka, Sept. 11, 1915, will be the most elaborate ever attempted in the great west. In front of the amphitheater each evening of Fair week will be presented a program for 20 contests that will pay a trip from every county of Kansas to witness. Those who have paid lanye prices to the Libratail celebrated in honor of good man in great context with a multidimensional theme I have in mind the great event in the most attractive part of the show. People in every other have been invited for their posthumity to host Libratail's band and have not counted the cost. For the State Fair engagement Signor Libratail belongs to Topeka twenty of the world's best singers, renowned as operatic stars, who will render selections from grand opera, in costume, accompanied by this big band. Just think for a moment what this means. Who is there that has heard or ever expected to hear grand opera by even one or two stars at popular prices? The State Fair management offers a much better proposition to the music lovers of Kansas. Instead of one or two great stars or one or two soloists at the head of a company of lesser lights there will be an all star company, twenty of them, with the same magnificent ward-obes they have used in the same operatic productions in the big cities of the east. And that is not all. Please keep your seats and wait until the show is over. Following the dual attraction of Liberatt's band in concerts and the presentation of grand opera selections in conjunction therewith by a company of virtuosos never before assembled west of Chicago the patrons of the night entertainments will be given the additional treat of Pain's wonderful presentation of "The Last Days of Pompeii," the pyrotechnic topnotcher of modern times, depicting in seas of beautiful varicolored fires the historic burning of the ancient Roman city and the accompanying scenes of grandeur and terror told in its panoamic destruction following the elaborate holiday festivities. This production requires an army of people and to costume the scenes a world of paraphernalia and settings. Millions of people all over the country have admired this awe inspiring fireworks spectacle. Other millions have never witnessed it, and still other millions there are who, having witnessed one production, would travel across Kansas to see it again. The State Fair management certainlly has crowded into its night programs for a popular price more than has ever before been attempted by a western organization and is surely an inducement to Kansans to come to Topeka and have the week of their lives. As a further inducement the regular exhibits will be open for inspection each evening the pavilions containing the best live stock ever shown in Kansas; the art building, containing in up to date collection of art, textile fabrics and miscellaneous exhibits that instruct and interest everybody. The buildings will be brilliantly lighted up and attendants will be on hand to lend every courtesy to all who care to visit the exhibits. Another notable feature of the State Fair this year will be the appearance of the Pittson Great Shows, one of the most remarkable aggregations of the kind touting the west. It has the very finest class of amusements and educational features. The managers of the State Fair want the people to go away from the Fair this year pleased and satisfied. They want to present as much for the admission charged as they can, so that all who come will mobilize the spirit of putting the best foot forward for Kansas and assist in building up a State Fair that will collapse all other similar expositions in character of exhibits and attendance. STATE FISH EXHIBIT. Professor Dyche to Have Fisheries Car at the Kansas State Fair. On a spur track to be built in the State Fair grounds at Topeka by the Santa Fe railway will be the car of the Kansas fish and game warden Professor L. J. Dyche with an exhibit of fish and their propagation that will be a revolution to visitors to the Fair Sept. 11 15. This car is equipped for the transportation and distribution over the state of fish and fish spawn to stock its streams. Some valuable pointers may be gained concerning the kinds of fish that the best adapted to our waters, their habits and their trees of gammon. To the followers of Frank Walton this exhibit will be of untold value and also to those who are unacquainted with the laws of our state pertaining to the care and protection of food and game fish the demonstration by Professor Dyche will be timely.

After we arrived we were escorted to White's Hall, that I met a very pleasant lady, by the name of Miss Porter, who directed me to Huntington Building, where I met my daughter, from then on, I took every chance to see all the school and its industry.

We do not know its origin, but it derives its name from an ancient province in the southwestern part of Scotland. The earliest histories of Scotland include mention of a breed of cattle called cattle, and the most famous species of the beef of the breed produces known to the local inhabitants as beef cattle. In the past it has been used to thousands of cattle. ```markdown ``` round the coast of the United States by the first of all broods of cattle. Of the hundreds of land of Iowa, the state is noted for Scotland for importance to America scarcely one has failed to pass the government test in the records. The character of the coat of hair of the Galloway also is due to centuries of outdoor life. In many respects the Galloway robe is superior to that of the Barf file. There is a soft, thick, mossy doot of hair covered by an outer coat of longer hair which protects the and mal from the severities of climate. The most desirable color is a dark ma 1 The four leading beef breeds of cattle rank as to size in the following order, Shorthorns, Herefords, Aberdeen, Angus and Galloways. This does not indicate, however, that the smaller breeds are the least profitable. Early maturity is an important factor in economical beef production, and the tables show that the smaller breeds approach maturity more rapidly than the larger breeds. The Galloway consumes less fat than the Shorthorn, and the cost of producing 10 pounds of gain is practically the same for both Galloways are compactly built, and their weight is sometimes deceptive to those not familiar with the breed. Their condition is often astonishing when compared with their pastures, and their weight is no less so when compared with the apparent bulk of the animal. The Galloway bull shown was a prize winner at one of the fall shows. dogany brown Many of the calves with their first coats of hair are almost red in color. Galloways were first imported into the United States in the early eighties. They proved to be great rustlers on the range and soon became popular with ranchmen. Although ranching practically is a thing of the past, the rustling characteristics of the breed make it an economical producer of beef. On the cheap grazing lands of the west Galloways, by nature adapted to make such excellent use of the cheaper and coarser feeds that go to waste on every farm, are superior to all other breeds in producing beef economically. It is preeminently a farmer's breed, and it merits the important position it has attained in the field of beef production Study the Silo. If all that is claimed for the silo is true then it is one of the most important and valuable buildings on the farm, says the Kinsley Partner. If only one-half of it is true it is well worth investigating. Now is the time to investigate, before the spring work begins. Study the silo question from all points of view and see if the actual saving of nearly one-half the corn crop that you have worked to produce is not worth while. See if the convenience is feeling this corn crop which is afforded by the silo is not worth while. See if the giving of a succulent ration which is greatly eaten by the stock during the dry spells of summer and the winter season does not pay. Note how the milk flow is kept up by the cows and how easy it is to fatten a lot of baby beef with silage and alfalfa. Then note the economy of it all and see if you don't need a silo. --- Feeding Floor For Heal- A good door for feeding market dogs will pay for itself in a very short time. The buk of the corn fed is fed on the ear or shelled, and in rainy weather the hog usually is compelled to eat more or less dirt with the corn, and in dry weather dust will necessarily be eaten. With a good feeding door the grain may be fed with no waste, whether wet or dry. Cement concrete is probably the best material to use for this purpose, and a door of this kind will last a lifetime.

Two weeks before the pigs are expected the sow should be placed in a farrowing pen connected with a dry yard large enough to allow her to exercise. Her bowels should be kept loose. She should have dry, sunny shelter, free from drafts. The sow should be petted, so that she will like to have her feet in bundle her. Give the sow all the water she wants for the first twenty-four hours after the last, at least, but no grain. ```markdown ``` T h a n d i s t P r i n k h e r b o u r r e l a s s i o n w i t h w a t t h e m a p p l i e s t h e l i t t i s s i o n w i t h l i t t e r s h e r s.

Take the chill off the water in cold weather. For three or four days after the first twenty-four hours give plenty of water, but feed grain and milk sparingly. Then slowly increase until, when the pigs are three weeks old, the sow is having all the feed she will consume. Give the pigs exercise and sunshine from birth, but do not allow them to get damp nor to be exposed to the wind. When the sow is given a warm, rich slop or other milk producing feeds just after her pigs are born a strong milk flow is forced. The newborn pigs get too much and have diarrhea, which often kills them. Watch the sow and pigs and slowly increase her food as fast as the pigs can take more milk. At the end of two weeks after farrowing she should be given all the milk producing feeds she will eat. Pasture, skimmilk, tankage, shorts, wheat, gluten feed and the hay from alfalfa, clover, peas and peanuts are among the best milk producing feeds. Corn and barley in moderate quantities are good, but must be fed with large quantities of the milk yielding feeds. An excess of either of these grains is certain to bring on thumps, one of the most fatal of the diseases of young pigs. Like all growing animals, the pigs must have hours of exercise every day. Pigs will begin to nibble at feed when they are about three weeks old. At this age they should be given a little milk in a trough separate from the mother. After they get to drinking the milk freely add a little soaked whole grain—barley, wheat, peas, milo or corn. Do not give more than they will eat up clean at one time, and clean the trough well before each feeding. Pigs should not be weaned until they are at least eight weeks old, and if the sow is not to have a second litter, or if there is time enough in case she is, it is better to let the pigs suckle until they are ten or twelve weeks old.—Professor H. M. Cottrell in Kansas Farmer. About Cottonseed Meal. About Cottonseed Meal. It has been found by experiment that young animals and especially pigs cannot survive long upon cottonseed meal and that when fed to them for any length of time it becomes fatal. Hunt of the Pennsylvania station reports the death of two calves out of three from feeding a ration of one pound of cottonseed meal with sixteen pounds of skimmilk. Emery of the North Carolina station reports the death of two calves following the use of one fourth to one-half pound of cottonseed meal daily with skimmilk. So far as investigations go they indicate very strongly that cottonseed meal should not be fed to young animals.—Hoard's Dairy man. Oats and Peas as a Solling Crop. Perhaps as good a crop as we could suggest for solling purposes during the months of July and August would be to sow peas and oats, says Hourd's Dalryman. When this crop is sowed the 15th of April it will be ready to use by the 1st of July. Two weeks later the second sowing can be made, and so on until enough has been sowed to carry the herd through the months of July and August. It is customary to sow one and one half bushels of oats and one half bushels of peas per acre. One eighth of an acre sown at a time would, under favorable conditions, furnish sufficient forage for three cows. of Ponca City manufacture the finest brand of flour in the state of Oklahoma; this flour is made especially for family use, makes the best biscuit and rolls that one can expect to make out of flour.

GOOD QUALITIES OF THE GALLOWAY The Galloway is the oldest breed of pure bred cattle. We do not know its origin, but it derives its name from an ancient province in the southwestern part of Scotland. The earliest histories of Scotland make mention of a breed of black polled cattle, and the excellent quality of the beef the breed produces became known to the English butchers centuries ago. In the early part of the present century thousands of head of Galloway cattle annually were driven from southwestern Scotland to the luxurant pastures of southern England, where they were fitted for the London market. Galloway beef is well marbled, has an excellent flavor, and there is very little waste to the carcass. That is why Galloways always sell at the highest market prices. The early breeders in the Galloway country of Scotland give their attention to producing high class meat for the market. Although no attention was given to exploiting the merits of the Galloway in other sections of Great Britain, the breed was improved by the systematic mating of the best specimens of each sex. The climate of southwestern Scotland is moist and mild, and the cattle are allowed to run in the open the year round. Centuries of outdoor life have made the Galloway the hardest of all breeds of cattle. Of the hundreds of head of Galloway cattle selected in Scotland for importation to America separately one has failed to pass the government test for tuberculosis. The characteristic coat of hair of the Galloway also is due to centuries of outdoor life. In many respects the Galloway robe is far superior to that of the buffalo. There is a soft, thick, mossy undercoat of hair covered by an outer coat of longer hair which protects the animal from the severities of climate. The most desirable color is a dark ma- ```markdown ``` The four leading heat breeds of cattle rank as to size in the following order: Shorthorns, Herefords, Aberdeen - Angus and Galloway. This does not indicate, however, that the smaller breeds are the least profitable. Early maturity is an important factor in economical beef production, and the tables show that the smaller breeds approach maturity more rapidly than the larger breeds. The Galloway consumes less feed than the Shorthorn, and the cost of producing 100 pounds of gain is practically the same for both. Galloways are compactly built, and their weight is sometimes deceptive to those not familiar with the breed. Their condition is often astonishing when compared with their pastures, and their weight is no less so when compared with the apparent bulk of the animal. The Galloway bull shown was a prize winner at one of the fail shows. hogany brown. Many of the calves with their first coats of hair are almost red in color. Galloways were first imported into the United States in the early eighties. They proved to be great rustlers on the range and soon became popular with ranchmen. Although ranching practically is a thing of the past, the rustling characteristics of the breed make it an economical producer of beef. On the cheap grazing lands of the west Galloways, by nature adapted to make such excellent use of the cheaper and coarser feeds that go to waste on every farm, are superior to all other breeds in producing beef economically. It is pre-eminently a farmer's breed, and it merits the important position it has attained in the field of beef production. Study the Site. If all that is claimed for the silo is true then it is one of the most important and valuable buildings on the farm, says the Kansas Farmer. If only one-half of it is true it is well worth investigating. Now is the time to investigate, before the spring work begins. Study the silo question from all points of view and see if the actual saving of nearly one half the corn crop that you have worked to produce is not worth while. Beef if the convenience in feeding this corn crop which is afforded by the silo is not worth while. See if the giving of a succulent ration which is greedily eaten by the stock during the dry spells of summer and the winter season does not pay. Note how the milk flow is kept up by the cows and how easy it is to fatten a lot of baby beef with silage and alfalfa. Then note the economy of it all and see if you don't need a silo. Feeding Floor For Hea. A good floor for feeding market hogs will pay for itself in a very short time. The bulk of the corn fed is fed on the ear or shelled, and in rainy weather the hog usually is compelled to eat more or less dirt with the corn, and in dry weather dust will necessarily be eaten. With a good feeding floor the grain may be fed with no waste, whether wet or dry. Cement concrete is probably the best material to use for this purpose, and a floor of this kind will last a lifetime.
