THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER SALINA ROYAL TO MASONS! "Square Men" Reader an Excellent Account of Their Action During Past Year. State House VOLUME XIII. We are Preparing SALINA ROY TO "Square Men" Reader a of Their Action Du Three Grand Bodies of the Noble Order Assemble in a Session of Peace, Harmony and Prosperity----Salina's White and Colored Glad they Came. Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and also the Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery held a five days session in Salina last week and all declare it the best in the history of the lodges. The Kansas Masons should feel proud of Grand Master Collins of the "blue house"; C. A. Long, High Preist of the chapter and John T. Chinneth, Grand Commander all of whom were re-elected by acclimation showing that they were doing good work. Grand High Priest Long is one of Kansas City's progressive men and has made his way up the ladder by hard knocks, owns good property and is doing much to uplift Royal Arch Masonry. John T. Chianeth, Grand Commander, is one of Wichita's brightest and most active business men doing much for Knighthood in Kansas. C. H. M. Collins was reelected by acclamation. All opposition faded before him like snow from the from scorching rays of the sun. Mr. Collins has the magnetic power of some divine influence which drawn people to him. He is serving his fifth and last term saying that he would not accept another term. He succeeded in purchasing eighty acres of land for a home at a cost of four thousand dollars. He set up several new lodges, pail the widows and orphans as fast as notice was given; cared for the sick and distressed and buried the dead and spreaded the cement of brotherly love everywhere. He is a prince among men. Too much praise cannot be given the local lodge and the Eastern Star for the many courtiies extended the the visitors, and the white citizens too come in for a share of the praise in making things agreeable. The grand lodge passed a few laws of importance which will appear in the minutes. There was a spirited contest between Fort Scott and Wichita for the next meeting, the former winning. The committee on home brought some fine corn from the farm, the ears measuring over twelve inches in length and there is forty-two acres of it. Mayor Kirtlonel delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city saying this was as fine a body of men as ever assembled in Salinas, and presented them with the keys to the city assuring them that Salinas desired them to enjoy themselves. Deputy Grand Master Hawkins responded, saying that he had always heard that Salina was a clean, progressive city and that it has proven to be true. Miss Bette Williams, one of the state's sweetest singers rendered a pleasing solo. Rev Cox on behalf of the lodges; Dr J. J. Scanes, of Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. Banks on behalf of the business men; Prof. Gregg of Western University responded. Rev Swish on behalf of the --- churches; Dr. Grant G Brown, of Wichita responded. The grand lodge officers had their pictures taken in a group on the postoffice steps by Ray C.Evans, of Emporia, a member of Saint John lodge. The last matter of importance taken up by Prince Hall Grand Lodge was the election of officers, a list of which will appear in these columns later. Reports were given by Dr.Soance, grand lecturer, of Kansas City, and the grand orator, S, G. Toole, of Coffeyville. Frank Jennings, custodian of the widows' and orphans' fund, made a fine report of the work that had been done in that department. A. D. Hines, grand treasurer, was complimented on his report and the manner in which he had handled the funds. Fred Stone, grand secretary, also gave a very satisfactory report. The committee on the Masonic home, Dennis Jones, R W Tucker, L W Johnson and C R Estes, gave a report of the work that is being done and showed that it was filling its purpose well. A P Smith of Topeka, T W Bell Leavenworth and Samuel Hanks of Topeka were named as special deputy grand masters. Past grand masters, Sol G Watkins of Topeka and Dennis Jones of Leavenworth were present and assisted in the work of the session. There was a parade at high twelve at which time over two hundred members were in line. The parade was led by the Salina cornet band, a colored organization, especially organised for this occasion. Following the parade, a picnic was enjoyed at Oakdale park. A large crowd watched the drills of Cyrene commandery drill team and the Salina colored boy scouts. Both organizations executed some fine movements and the audience was quite appreciative. The boy scouts under the direction of N D Wigley, are the only organization of the kind in the state and the visitors praised them highly. One of the acts of the grand lodge was to present the Salina lodge with $200 to apply on its building. The grand lodge also extended a vote of thanks to the Lee Mercantile company for cigars and for an invitation to visit the establishment and to the Watson Durand-Kasper Grocery company for a gift of cigars. Thanks was also voted to the white and colored citizens of Salina for their courtesy. WINFIELD, KAN. Mr. Lawrence Work, of Oxford, stopped over and visited a short time enroute to Arkansas City.

Miss Matilda Johnson returned last week from Denver. IANNIBAL. MO. Some time ago I sent your office an article touching on Lincoln Institute and its President, which the printer's devil must have so mixed the type that it never reached the place for publication, so I shall endeavor to repeat myself. An invitation from President Allen found me early Sunday morning, June 11th, a stranger at the gates desiring admittance, which was accorded me by the professor of mechanism in iron, whose name has slipped me. It was pleasant to listen at 3 p. m. to Mr. Mason of the M. E. church, secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society. At night the writer should have followed him, but the supply of water and light power being out of repair it was deferred until Monday morning. After careful survey of the school and its work, I have this to say, that President Allen deserves well of every patron of the school, and not only every patron but every member of the race in Missouri. Cultured and refined, his pure life is worth of simulation. The regents should see to it that he be returned to carry on the good work. General in temper, he has kind words for all. Nothing seems to ruffle him, but he prespear onward with lighted torch to the steep and dizzy sights, a blessing to all who come in touch with his spheres of usefulness. His pure life breathes a benediction upon the youth under his care. P. H. of the St. Joseph Dist. N. M. Conf., A. M. L. Church. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Waesblartesn.

Three Licensed Kimbalmore in Afteadsse LIME ON THE FARM. Best Way to Test It is to Try It on Small Patch. Lime seems to be needed on parts of most farms. It corrects sourness, mellows heavy soils, helps light soils to retain moisture, favors the growth of clover and nifalfa and checks the increase of some plant diseases. The most certain way, according to Professor Brooks of the Massachusetts experiment station, to find out whether lime will help the soil is to try it on a small plot in a field to be tested. Apply twenty pounds of fresh selected lime to two square rods Beets are a good test crop, as they grow better upon a limed plot if the soil needed lime. An average of about one ton of lime to an acre will usually be enough. It can be used at any season when the land is not occupied by crops and when it can be plowed. It may be planted broadcast and worked into the soil with a harrow. Professor Brooks has been looking up various sources of lime in New England markets, and he finds that it varies considerably in cost and desirability. Quicklime is really the cheapest form, because when buying it the purchaser does not have to pay for water that is taken up when sinking lime. One hundred pounds of quicklime contains as much essential lime as 132 pounds of slaked lime, thirty two pounds being moisture from the air, and it contains as much as 179 pounds of raw limestone. Lime can be slaked in small heaps by applying just water enough to wet the lumps, using about two pallets of water to 100 pounds of lime. After a few days it will have crumbled to a powder. Most farmers slake the lime before applying, as the unslaked lime is very disagreeable to use, even with a manure spreader protected with burlap. Finely ground limestone or marl works well on light soils, but ground limestone costs more for the results obtained as compared with quicklime. Sometimes refuse line from tunneries is a very cheap source of lime, and it can usually be had for the hauling. MAKE FARMHOUSE FIT. Don't Build Compact City Dwelling on Your Spreading Green Fields. In our great cities land is dear and houses must be adapted to small areas. Architects have studied how to get the most house on a limited space because the min of moderate means cannot afford to buy a big lot. City houses are built on these condensed plans and are very well adapted to such conditions. But we are sorry to see that some of these city house plans are being taken into the country. When set into the wide space of a farm they look out of harmony with their surroundings. The farmhouse should have all the comforts and conveniences of the city house, but it should not look like the city house. It should be so designed A COMFORTABLE DWELLING. as to fit into its surroundings. The old fashioned farm home, with its air of comfort and repose, is in better taste than the modern bolt-tailed city house is on the farm Farmhouses can be tasteful and adapted to their location without being expensive, and it pays to see that they are so. A tasteful home has a sale value in the country just as it has anywhere, and farmhouses should be built with this idea in view. Above all this, however, is the pleasure of living in a tasteful country home, one that is adapted to its purpose and fitted to its location. There is a satisfaction here that is not reckoned in dollars, but is worth trying to get. National Stockman and Farmer A Good Chick Feed. For a good cake for chicks as well as fowls (and also for dogs) take about a quart of cornmeal, a pint of wheat bran and a pint of flour. Mix with sufficient milk to make batter. Add two teaspoonfuls of salt mixed up in a little sour milk and salt to taste. The batter must not be made too thin, nor should the cakes be allowed to scorch. One big cake and on the floor each day will make the little chicks grow beyond belief. Farm Philosophy. Education is our hope for better agriculture. Let us advance every interest that will help the cause of education. Progress in farming is an individual problem from the solution of which the state, the nation and the world must benefit. When planning trees about the house set the quite distance off say their feet. Let the possible in and save those trees. One of the first considerations in im- proving capital is the need to teach the subsidiary of it how to take the tensive use of and form temporary holds your conditions and execute the implement catalogues for the tools you need. Infrequent imple- mments are the farmer's capital and usually bring profits when properly used. Farm and Garden GOOD LAWN BEAUTIFIER. Its Foundation is Only an Old Umbrella Frame, but It's Most Artistic. In Frame, but it is Most Artistic. One does not need the services of an expensive landscape gardener to make one's lawn a thing of beauty. Of course, thick, well rolled and well cropped turf is the prime necessity, but there is always needed some bit of color to accentuate the eye resting beauty of the long sweep of green. Here is the way one ingenious woman secured a centerpiece for her award, according to Popular Mechanics: She dug up an old umbrella from the attic, cut away the faded silk cover- SIMPLE ORNAMENT FOR LAWN. ing, ran a piece of thin wire through the top of each rib, taking a turn around each eye, so as to keep the ribs apart at regular intervals, and then sunk the handle deep into the ground in a small circle cut out of the sod in the middle of the lawn. Then she planted some sweet peas in a variety of colors, and now she has a Joseph's coat mound of color that is an absolute delight. And, obeying the old advice, "the more sweet peas you pick the more you'll have," she has her vases all through the house filled all the time. THE VALUABLE TURNIP. Worth Growing if Only For Its Effect on Dairy Cows. While the real food value of turnips is considered somewhat low they are wonderful appetizers especially for daily cows, not only toing up their systems, but increasing the flow of milk. Then there are several tempting dishes for the table that can be formed from turnips and by storing a good supply of them for winter their use will save considerable of the higher priced products, both around the feed stalls and table. Turnips for winter storage should not be sown till in July, from the 10th to the 20th, or even a few days later will not be too late. Where they are sown earlier than this the hot weather causes them to become strong and pithy, but if sown as above stated they mature when the weather is cool or, which greatly enhances their flavor, gives them a firm, solid flesh and adds to their keeping qualities. A rich sandy loam or fresh soil soil is best adapted to turnip raising and they may be sown either broad cast or drilled. If sown broadcast it may be done just before a shower, and there will then be no necessity for covering the seed, as the raindrops will do the work better, a light covering being all that is required. If the seeds are drilled one can arrange so the plants may be cultivated by hand, the rows being placed about eighteen inches apart. But in plenty of seed at the time of drilling and thin out the plants when they come up till they are from three to four inches apart, thus giving them ample room to grow. —Homestead Rape Seed For Hogs. If a little ripened is sprinkled in with the rye a variety of seed will be provided and the hops will do even better than upon rye alone Brief Suggestions. Go over the orchard and see that all the wounds are well painted. The golden wix bean is a favorite with many garden makers. It is tender, of good quality and stringless. If a small pig is chilled it can be revived by dipping it in water as hot as you can bear your hand in, then wrapping it in warm fabric. Don't keep your horse in an overheated stable and then stand him for hours in a freezing atmosphere and wonder how he became paralyzed. The durability of the mule is a strong point in his favor. He lives and works to a good old age. His "sense" of self protection is strong, and he avoids many injuries. Never get the idea in your head that drugs and health are inseparable, for in most cases it will be found that what we keep out of the pig's stomach has more to do with its health than what we put in. Blackberries are very prolific and ripen at the time they can be economically gathered and marketed. They are sold in jugged by late frosts and for this reason are easier than some other berries at ripen earlier. The wheel hoofs are great labor savers. A new attachment is very convenient. It furrows and to cover the hoofs is less peas, beams and sweeps. None of the combination wheels tools with drills, cultivating teeth, plows and rakes are very satisfactory. J. F. White, Plaintiff.

NOTES OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS Assembled in Denver, August 11, 12. 13, 14 and 15, 1011. Delegates were appointed by the Governors of the various states and forty two states sent delegates, over three thousand being appointed—men and women of high class and standing in the various parents and professions—and nearly three hundred voting delegates attended. The first day of the Convention was given to the preliminary work of or organizing the congress, committees, etc. Sunday afternoon the Denver Auditorium was filled to the roof with a magnificent audience of white and colored, and a fine programme was carried out. The Local committee had advertised that Assistant Attorney General Lewis would be present and address this meeting, but a late telegram sent regrets at his inability to be present. Music was furnished by local talent, and Prof. Imani D. Pase Pres. of Langston University, Oklahoma, delivered one of the most of dresses that one could bear in a little time of conventions, congresses and other gatherings. He was frequently interrupted by cheers, and continued applause, which he not in his characteristic modest, dignified manner. He was followed by Pres. II. C. Dudley, of Greensboro, N. C., who gave a fine exposition of the tuberculosis statistics of North Carolina. As there are so fewgress in western cities, the crowd of regress who filled the streets on the impinging of the crowd, was a curiosity to the citizens of Denver, and they looked with amazement on this gathering of regress from all parts of the United States, good looking, intelligent looking, and certainly prosperous, judging from their dress. The daily papers have given great space to the dings of the Congress, and have been lavish with out and "write ups" at the personnel of the delegates. The Rocky Mountain News Independent), came out with this memorandum: "The first annual meeting of the National Negro Factional Congress is in session in this city. The first session of anything is always a good deal of a difficulty. Policies are to be determined, work mapped out, leaders developed, lines drawn everything in fact that stamps an organization one way or another is to be done. One cannot tell at this time whether to offer solicitations or condolences, but thus we know: That the problem of working out harmonious relations between two diverse races is big enough to employ the best brains of both, and that some of the best intellects of the colored race seem to be assembled put now in Denver. May wisdom guide their deliberations." There were delegates from all over, but perhaps the most厉害 ent were those from Texas, who came full of demands and knowledge of par laboratory usage, and alert to prive logies and contractions, a knowledge born of experience and practice in buil- ling their opponents among the "Lady Whites" in Texas political conventions. They were prepared to take the congress to Texas in 1819. Monkey afternoon was the cool for every day of the congress in Denver, when the Mayor of Denver and the Governor of Colorado made brilliant welcome speeches, which were fol- lowed by no less brilliant responses for the congress by Hon Wm McMullen, a banker of Pt Worth, Texas, Dr. Wm. J. Tombans, of Kansas City Attorney Gen T Wassom, of Kansas City, and Wm. Harrison, of Oklahoma. An interesting and equally sponsor was Miss I. A. Penzour, the only o- cered teacher in the New York City mixed schools. Miss Moton, clown teacher at his college institute, rendered several selections during the session. Milane Joseph Wright, of Foyek, sang with her usual sweetness and brilliance, and was enthusiastically appreciated. Where there had been a difference or unpleasantness in the local council of Duxbury prior to the coming of the congress the citizens "got to gather" and did everything that hospitality and goodness could do. The male clerks were taken to five large automobiles for a three hours' visit, with a banquet for the guests. Of reception and party were given to both hands and gentlemen. When the time came for election of officers, Prof. J. Siles Harrow of Kintown City, was re elected President of the Congress by nomination, and Dr. T. S. Dudley, of Greensboro, N. C. first Vice President, Mrs Juliette Miles, of Kentucky, Recording Secretary, Dr. Hennerson, of Oklahoma, and Thompson, of Missouri Medical Advisors, and Mrs. C. Rogers, of Kansas City, Gon Dem. Science Instructor The congress adjourned to meet in St Paul last August; many of the delegates remained to visit the wonders of the Rocky Mountain region, while others hastened away to other conventions and meetings; all however voting the meeting at Pull a most successful meeting. NEWTON. KAN Mr. Joe Rickman, who has been sick for some time, departed this late Sunday the 11th, at 11 o'clock. Punishment was held from the home Tuesday, the 11th, at 10 o'clock, m. Mr. Rickman was one of Newton's early settlers, having moved here from Ohio. He leaves a wife, one daughter six sons and a host of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. Mrs. Mary Grant, who has eight miles in the country east of Newton, met with a painful accident Saturday evening, when she fell over a piece of machinery in the yard and fractured her arm. The injury is quite serious owing to her age. Her arm was set at the Mt. Hospital. Many colleges attended the Big test Sunday school convention at Gair for its last week We drew want to show to at tent the Grand Lodge V I I & V M HUTCHINSON JOTTINGS Mr C H Milber of Greenwood, S. C. and his daughter in law, Mrs P D Milber of Worcester, were the guests of Rev O. Smith and wife, 11th Ave. West on Aug 1st. They were shown many of the wonderful sights to be seen in the beautiful city, and among them was the state informatory. This institution is open to general visitation every afternoon at 1:00, Saturday and Sunday excepted. Here we found a very courteous gentleman in the person of the Superintendent, Mr Amine, who caused us to be conducted from the N. corner of the institution to the various parts of the building, in search of conditions. The first thing we discovered was that the total number of inmates was 2,625 of whom were whites, 150 colored 6-Monats, and one Indian. Next we discovered was that we had a very good manly and pennsthing gaudie who conducted us to the tailor department. There we found about fifteen people at work cutting fitting and making garments; and six of them were colored. We were next led to the shop department, here we also found a large force at work making shoes, one of them closed. In the laundry nearly all were colored. The last but not the least were the dining room and kitchen, here everything was as neat and clean as soap, water and allow groomer could make it. How we did wish for an invitation to stay for superior. We also visited the great care salt works on South Main, where we met the proprietor, a gentleman who is color or condition, unlike thousands of others he knows no man on account of color or condition, but is a stammer tried to the poor as has been common strated in all his private and legalive transactions. He is now still a supervisor and would aid to the deputy and credit of the great commonwealth at Kansas if he was at present the junior L. supervisor from Kansas. --- WEIR CITY, KANSAS Rev. I. W.

We believe Dr. May will benefit the church. W. W. Mosley returned home from a ten days trip to Atchison, Kansas, last Sunday. He visited his mother and relatives. --- SOME THOUGHTS WHILE PASSING THROUGH OGLAKHOMA. It was on a very warm day in Kansas that I matched a train for a university extension trip through Oklahoma. It was with some misgivings, for I realized that two hundred miles ahead of me were exposures in store that never before were mine-traveling in a "him Crow" state. However, I stopped in Arkansas City to catch my breath the space of two days; then I made the change. Well, somewhat a little more of my local exposures were on the river bank draining to tail to tail but after being in the water, I body had adjusted itself to the temperature of the water, it was into I really feel that the figure loses nothing in comparison with my Olda heart experience. To begin with, the dam know law is the most gigantic piece of folly extinct. The motive underlying its existence is enthralling, and rustian, and absolutely foreign to the constructive elements of civilization. But it was my pleasure some years ago to suggest to our faculty at Western University this matter. Being informed that it is "the will and pleasure" of the majority of the people of Oklahoma that I should have separate apartments during my sojourn in their state and being ever mindful of our excellent motto, I did not want for an invitation to go to the place prepared for me but while the train was standing on Kansas soil I entered my private car. The train last not gone far when two men whose apartment was in the rear of mine, came in and the follow ing dialogue occurred between the conductor and narrator: "On histor: "On back" "Go back" You can't stay in here." Introdubers. "Be this old them?" Cant. "No, but we are approaching the state line. You must these laws, now live up to them." I want Introdubers. Would I tell a athlete gun of up plans a silent gun however. There were two men smashed so violently in the face with the law of their own making. Don't set them down in my comfort all he was, my feet resting on the one in front, and read some times stalking misenty, realizing that the bad man and conductor were at the outer door and there was no longer from introdubers. Then one usually I would walk up and down the side of my private car and look back through the car hatchback on to mine and see poor struggling crowded and sturdy humanity sat floating in a parked car for the immensity in that car was composed of white people, Indians, Indians and crooks with their bodies working men with soiled clothing, ashamed for modesty's sake to have to go in among the women to talk. Veryly I felt sorry for them but it was the law and I had to put a back on my compatriots and refrain from inviting them to share in the comforts of my private car. I musse: "Purely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." "My life have taken in pleasant places." A word in indomount on it is to be unkind to the Indian the natal and the torch for having to do after those people whom it is working on them. They so it would have of other. The whole system is unjust. Then when the team arrives at my destination a separate officer must be built and equipped for it. And again I must. What is it man am I that such a man owns and expenditure of me shall be made for me and my people. There is which the originator of this law meant it for eval and humiliation and while he can never lose life to the fall with such native wrangling his heart, there is a hundred times more content, bearing national reverence for the altered man travelled to. Ok, very than for the white man. Matter simply phase of the law that possesses a guilty number of treason and large hearts white men and women are hearts are the right place. *John D. Rockefeller Retains His Health and Spirits at 72 1920 feller has recently charged his attitude to work over his photographs and when he appears in public now he could pose for pictures when asked time was when he was at a caterer, as he would at a bomb crime years ago Mr. Huckefeller was in bad health, it it was reported that he had said he would "give $1,0000 for a new stomach" Golf and outdoor exercise have seemingly given the oil magnate the new stomach he wanted I have rolled hundreds of miles al most entirely alone. If one would take the time and figure the cost of coal, water, engineer, fireman, conductor, ticket agent, for he has to walk from one side of the office to the other like a shuttle boat. I belong, porter, equipment of cars, mileage and a host of incidents, one would get some idea of the great expense the officials of the railroads are put to against their walls—all of this based upon absolute folly. But leaving that sale which repres nts the other man's unkindness, let us think on the great work some of our people, my people, are doing. Out from Hennessy about eight miles, it was my pleasure to visit Lazy township, where live such men as Hamilton, Prue, Raton, and many others whose names escape me just now, owning areas by the hundreds. And from what I could learn with cash in the bank. And on those farms nine houses that would surprise many in our cities who think they have fine houses. To my great surprise and delight, I was there on the night of the literary society meeting. Think of at a literary society composed of farmers whose labor that very day had carried potentially many hundreds of dollars having told their horses, eaten their supports and then driven two three and five miles to a literary society in the hot month of July. This will put any society of the Inter State Literary Society of Kansas and the West to shame. The program was free, consisting of rentations, songs, sales soal and in instrumental and spelling contests. And think of at the older women were barred from the contest because they had on a previous occasion be treated the young people. Mrs. Hamilton, formally of Topkas, is a vital source of inspiration for this society. That is a view of real life. What a minute, narrow, slush bite we are living in the city. I would that time and space would permit a description of the wonderful town of Bolly. This deflection strikes me most fortunately that where there is a mixture of people, "Rice Unity" or "Rice Ideals", to use the language of John J. Ingalls is "an irresolute dream" utterly and absolutely impossible of attachment on the fact of the white man. Black man or any other man. For while they live in the same community there is a mutual interest predilection that cannot be eliminated. The only condition possible is a unity of interests, unity of parties. Instructor in Mathematics and Politics Westport University JUNCTION CITY ITEMS As he fair sky was illuminated in its crimson beauty and the morning was at its awakening, our dear friend Margarette Josephine Mason age 30 years, passed from us, Saturday about 5:15, to heavens fair portals. Margarette was a loving daughter a cheerful sister and a joyful companion. Her manner and kindness shall all ways be remembered by her beloved ones. Not only is she missed by the host of associates, but also in the Sunday school and choir. To mourn her loss she leaves a loving mother, a dutiful father, four sisters, two brothers and a host of relatives and sorrowing friends. The funeral was held at the Second Baptist church at two o'clock. Rev R. Williams operating. Miss Lucy Holmes, the third vassal, sang in the sweetest melody "Calvary." Mrs. Nannie Baker died in Poplar Saturday morning and the remains were brought here Sunday evening for interment. The funeral was held Monday morning at the home of her sister. Mrs John Follett, at her home. Mrs. Walter was formerly a resident of this city but she has resided in Emporia for the past several years. She leaves many relatives and friends to mourn her demise.

TIME TO AID WOUNDED TREES Use Cement Bandages and Preserve the Stormy Old Green Pneumonia Glorious Old Green Pyramid Late August is the time to watch your valuable old shade and fruit trees. Watch for the hollow trunks, the bare limb or the exposed wound where fungal may enter and ruin the sturdy old trunk. From any wound remove all the decayed wood, with a chisel and adz, to the sound, hard wood, and smooth off the edges of the cavity to allow the free growth of the inner bark. After the cavity has been thoroughly cleaned out, distinfet it with corrosive sublimate, cresote or even paint. Cresote is better, as it penetrates further into the wood. The cavity should now be filled with concrete, the part portland cement to two parts sand. Make it thin, so that it can be reured in at the top of the opening. When the cavity is large it is necessary to reforce the concrete by placing iron bars across the inside. It is also best to drive large nails part way in around the inside, and this enables the concrete to adhere better to the trunk As the tilting shrinks considerably in large cavities the walls should be first contoured with a thick layer of tar. This expands and holds the shrinkage crack, making the cavity air tight. There is now no chance for any disease to enter and get its work. After the tilting has set a little the surface should be smoothed off even with the inner bath. In a few years the childrum will completely cover the tilting, making a good looking tree. LITTLE TEXAN FARMERS. School Children in Taft Work Like Bees and Grow Money Making Crops. Here is a picture showing how in Texas they teach the young idea not how to shoot, but how to plant. In the town of Taft the school children have two acres of farm land divided into individual plots, one of which becomes for the season the also use property of its little worker. The children are furnished with a variety of tools and the necessary bee, rake and shovel and are instructed as to the best way to prepare the ground and plant the crop petters. Then they are left to their own devices concerning watering, weeding A LITTLE FARMERS NATIONS WEALTH and the other details of farm work, and the results so far have been as- sistishing. There are prizes given for the finest vegetable specimens and for the order- ly keep up of the body, and the child- ren are allowed to take home or sell all the results of their industry. Most of the prizes are in medals, but any child so wishing may have a cash equivalent. One boy cleared up $11 on his plot. But a girl lost $15 $1(2). There were 200 children in the first court and nearly double that number this year and Professor Moon, prin- ciple of the public schools of Taft, who started the plan, expects to have 2,000 happy farmers little agricultur- tists at work next year. Tha Explains It. Indy-What thintwight certes in crown for cage? Why, that's more than 3 catec's. Greer We' muth, you must re- member that one catec is a whole day's work for our landy house. Poultry Pickings. Treatly should be kept free of fatier and shiny food. Those most high in fat and crusse with anatomy, fatty in matter. Cut down the fat of the big foods. Salted potatoes, foods with wheat and oats, should be kept generally fried, together with a tiny supply of green food. Avoid overcooking your children crops. When too many fowls recoat together they crowd and the animal bowl will cause them to sweat. This in itself has been the cause of more summer colds than anything else we know of. Many people don't want to breed pure fried eggs to house. They are afraid that they may not find a market for broiled eggs. But the new silver horse breed is the breed that will be tender and is easy to care for. Here is a heartfelt reminder to family, children, and pets. Make strong bones and stay it hot. Put on the roosts and on the nest boxes and all over. Get the chomp grade of salt. Put she to have the brine strong and hot and to get it into every clutch about the heathouse.

A hog needs all his time to make pork and should not be expected to spend any moments fighting tice. Clover and skimmilk are almost indispensable in the ration of the growing pig. The man who can raise hogs profitably without pasture can increase his profits many fold by using pasture. All breeds of hogs look good when taken care of, and all of them will yield good money if rightly handled. If the pig is stitched in its food at any stage of its life it can never become a perfect pork producer. A hog can be started to eat almost anything, but sell him does well on spotted food. One way to improve land rapidly is to posture hogs soon it. Too many farmers have failed to appreciate the possibilities of rye as hog pasture. No farmer can have complete success raising hogs unless he has a good grain pasture, and young hogs can be fattened more profitably than those that are older. The 200 pound pig at eight months is the master work of a feeder. --- SILAGE FOR SHEEP. Produces Excellent Results When Properly Ful This is a feed that has been considerably discussed of late. Owing to the feeding of poor sheep and the feeding of too much of it, hundreds of sheep were killed when farmers first began to feed it, written C. A. Wardh in Farm and Press. After losing down sheep the ordinary man would discontinue the feed, never to use it again. As a matter of fact, these men have not recommended it very highly, and a general prejudice has come upon against it. But this is entirely unfounded, for village when full light can be made a valuable part of the routine, and as its cost is small, it helps to make up a chapelotion. In the first place, it must not be held in any wise compass. Do not make it unnecessary to mute well in the staircase if it is to create trouble.

Useful Fattening Feed if Added to the Ration Gradually With proper judgment considerable use can be made of new corn in fat tening the early plums, since the Kansas Farmer. As the pictures begin to grow short new corn that is beginning to deat may be cut and given to the plums. Care must be taken that they be coarsenustomed to this new corn gradually. By cutting the new corn, stalk and oil, a considerable portion of the green leaves and fiber parts will be eaten. As the corn becomes more mature and the ration increases the hogs will eat less and less of the folder until they are on practically a full feed of corn. It is selom profitable to fatten hogs on a full ration of corn alone in a dry lot. They soon cease to thrive and will not eat as large a ration as is desired. This balanced ration will yield the largest gains and almost invariably the cheapest gains. All of a picture or good, bright if duly of the fourth or fifth cutting supplied to fattening hogs will be a very efficient and economical means of fattening the corn ration. It supplies the protein, which is贮存 in corn, and gives variety to the ration. So beans, where as all above, will serve for some purpose, gives us a fifth part of the ration. Any food, if thick in digestible pro- tein, may be used with profit unless to high be pro. The latest feeding want to be used for this purpose is the packing house. It is not to be aged or amount of food. Trogenous pro- tein, which is not to be served until probably felled in many experiment stations and pa- tition that there can be no doubt of its value. To a following hog of 150 pounds, weight one half pound of the grass daily is sufficient. One must be sure that there is sur- fect trough room for a hog to re- ceive its food there. While corn is the chief grain for fat testing hags, almost any of the cereals may be used. Killar corn is very similar in composition and is ground and properly balanced gives results very nearly as good as corn. Wheat is fully the equal of corn, pound for pound—in fact, hags will do better on wheat alone than on corn alone. When wheat is about the same price per pound as corn or only a little higher it will pay to use it. Harley is not rolled quite as well by hags as corn, but can be used in a fattening grain. For breeding stock, it is better than corn, cottonseed meat, although one of our richest feeds, is never safe for hags, as far as we know at present. It may be fed for limited periods and in small quantities with good results. Swine should be fed plenty of green food in order to keep their digestive tracts in the best condition. They should be supplied with plenty of pure cold water and in abundance of shade and a sanitary wilting place. Fat hogs are extremely susceptible to sunstrike, as they cannot perspire freely and have their body temperature reduced by the evaporation of the perspiration as on the horse. An excellent plan is to frequently swab the hogs' bodies with water to keep them cool. A hog prostrated by the heat should be conveyed to a shady place, where cool water should be poured on the head and neck, but not over the rest of the body. Water For Dairy Cows. The amount of milk produced by a cow will depend upon the amount of water she drinks not entirely, of course, but it stands to reason that the cow cannot give milk unless she has plenty of water to drink. Now, if this water is worn like that standing in a pond or a water trough, she will not like it so well and will not drink enough of it. As a consequence her milk flow will fall away. Fresh, cool water is no easy for the milk cow, and it costs money not to provide her with it. B na the Bull Calves. Every but one does a stage at the year of a matter which he will be unsafe to handle with a halter, from that time at a ring and snap if he is a half breed and a stag if a dairy breed will be the only means by which he can be handled safely. Farm and Garden HIMALAYA BEST BLACKBERRY Grows Anywhere, Is Coraless and Can Be Easyly Shipped A Thousand Miles. The giant Himalayan berry, a far eastern branch of the blackberry genus, is coming into its own and achieving a great popularity after a setback of a dozen years because of its slow propagation. It has a strong root system and differs from the ordinary blackberry in that it does not readily sucker, the new cane growth starting at or near the root crown, generally from the main stalk or cane. These canes, if permitted, will often reach a length of fifty feet in a season. Fruit laterals from three to five feet long are sent out from these canes and are gracefully pendent on the outside ```markdown ``` SPECTMEN CORLISS BLACKBIRDY. of properly trained vines. Rather late in the spring, after the frosts are over, these laterals become a mass of delicate pink bloom, which later gives way to an immense crop of very sweet, almost cureless blackberries. The fruit ripens from July to November, and through hanging in clusters on the outside of the vine it is simply shaded from sunburn by leaves of a beautiful olive shade, rather silvery underneath. From three to five years are required for the Himalayas to reach perfection, so that growers should not be hasty in passing judgment. The vine should be considered a fruit tree and taken care of regularly. It has always to be given half a chin. The life of the most ever vile and the former have been the best of all the wines. Now you can enjoy the same well for its taste. It is a perennial to a marked degree, wines having passed through a winter 21 degrees be low zero impatient.

Fresh berries have been shipped over a thousand miles the past season and brought good prices FARM+SCIENCE=WEALTH. Dr. Hopkins, Illinois soil expert, has hummered home the theory that you cannot keep taking everything out of the soil without putting something back. His dictum has been justified by recent experiments conducted by the University of Illinois, which show that with the use of phosphorus crops have been doubled. On the same farm the wheat yield where phosphorus was not used was twenty four bushels an acre; with the phosphorus the yield jumped to an average of fifty eight and a half bushels. Farming is being rapidly recognized to be as much of a science as the most intricate manufacturing business. The scientific farmer is the one who will make a fortune where his ancestors made a bare living. Phosphorus For Wheat. Experiments in soil treatment have been made on the University of Illinois experiment plots on the S. Noble King farm in McLean county, and by the use of phosphorous fertilizer the wheat yield was more than doubled. The average yield on all plots which were not treated with phosphorus was twenty four bushels an acre. The average yield on the fertilized plots was fifty eight and one half bushels an acre. This is the illumination of the results that have been obtained on the experiment plot year after year and more than bears out the prognosis of Dr C. G. Hopkins, the university soil expert, who holds that crops may be doubled with intelligent treatment. Sunflower Useful. Sunflowers are attractive, and a place in always more homelike when they are planted in abundance near it. Sunflowers give dignity and charm to the farmstead, and their presence denotes taste and culture of the homemaker. The seed makes good poultry feed. A voluntary payment by one for the benefit of another without any request by the latter to make the payment does not create any legal obligation to repay the amount.—Newell versus Lindley, Massachusetts, 02 N.

Far too much of our butter is spoiled after it has gathered in the churn, says a dairyman in the Farm Progress. The greatest skill of the buttermaker is called for in removing it and working it into salable form without destroying its texture, firmness and sometimes its flavor. Washing with pure cold water while still in the churn before the granules have become molded together is by all means preferable. SPENDING the summer at the seashore would be regarded by many as a means of enjoyment that could not be excelled, but a glimpse at the pictures above will show that some youthful visitors at the beach do not find unpleasant pleasure at all times. The old rule that the buttermilk should be drawn when the granules of butter are the size of wheat grains is a good one. No wash water should be added until the buttermilk is first drawn away. Then an amount of cold, clean water equivalent to the amount of buttermilk drawn should be added and the churn revolved a few times. If the water is cold enough the butter may be worked more vigorously until it begins to adhere in large lumps. orphans, but this is not the cause of their sorrow. If it were the other boys playing with the swing they would be similarly defected. No, the sallowful youngsters had been teased by their playmates about "having their picture taken," and they were crying from vegetation. The children are inmates of an orphans' home in New York that maintains a summer colony at Rockaway Beach, on the south shore of Long Island. From 300 to 100 small boys spend many enjoyable days on the sandy beach or puddling about in the wave which come in over a beach so slanting that they are never in danger. The grief that the little chaps in the lower picture felt did not last long, and soon they were as joyous as the others. Then draw off the water and add the salt in the churn. Where the larger power churns are used salting in the churn is the best practice, but in home buttermaking in small quantities much better results can be obtained by salting the latter into the worker. THE LITTLE GIRL Some buttermakers work the product immediately upon removing it from There are many lovers of Devon cattle in New England Among these is J. W. Sanborn of Morrimack county, N. II. Pictured is one of his Devon cows which won honors at the Vermont state fair in 100 While Devons are not expected to produce large quantities of milk, there are strains of this breed which are really good milkers, and the product tests high in solids. It is doubtful if any breed can produce better ozen than Devons Their quiet disposition and intelligence win friends wherever they go. the churn, but better results can be obtained if, after a slight working, the butter is placed in a cold room to allow the salt to dissolve and the whole mass to cool so that it will not become oily when put into the prints. One pound prints are still the most popular, although some creameries have endeavored to introduce a two pound print with some success. The brick mold is much to be preferred to any of the round or oval molds. Brick butter can be packed closely in a cooler and also lends advantage to wrapping in parchment paper. HAVING a millstone around one's neck is a dangerous thing, according to Holy Writ, especially if one is to be cast into the sea. But the tree shown in the above picture has thrived in spite of such a handicap. Many years ago a huge millstone that had been used in turning wheat into flour at Sheldon's mill at South Dover, N. Y., was discarded. The new roller process made the old fashioned method obsolete, and the heavy millstone was uneaten and was thrown away. It lay on the ground beside the road for many years, and then a seed under the stone sprouted, and a slender plant poked its head through the hole in the center of the stone. It continued to grow until it filled the hole and gradually lifted the heavy stone from the ground. It continued to grow and to raise the stone until it now appears as shown in the picture. The stone is used as a seat by wayfarers who are tired. It is a comfortable seat, too, and is different from anything seen anywhere else in the world. Printed parchment wrappers bearing the name of the maker of the butter are a great advertising feature and add to the appearance of the product. It is an important point in a local butter trade. Parchment paper should be used in lining tubes where large quantities of butter are made. Feeling the Walker: When a horse balks do not whip, scold or quarrel with it. "Speak gently." Be patient. Take time to go to the bits. Paten a strap around one front leg between the hoof and fetlock and tie the foot up to the hames or hold it up, as the case may be, compelling the horse to stand on three legs while it rests. Resting will very soon become more friskome than going. But with kindly "whom's" and the continued holding by the bit compel the horse to stand until thoroughly anxious to go, which will not be long, when the foot should be let down and the animal allowed to go. Repeat the process as often as the occasion demands, increasing rather than diminishing the time of the restraint.—Farm and Fireside. but we doubt it.
