Are you good with the Bank and Gas Co? historical Society --- Improvident Negro BLACKS SH DEFE The Kansas City groes Should N of White Ruffia to Murde BLACKS SHOULDN'T DEFEND HOMES! The Kansas City Journal Says Negroes Should Not Resist Mobs of White Ruffians Who Seek to Murder Them. Several weeks ago the following appeared in the Kansas City Journal, which was the paper's editorial leader for the day. We reproduce it headlines and all WORST POSSIBLE ADVICE "The Negroes of the United States will not take seriously the incendious slave of Nick Chile, the Popka editor, who advocated mobs of Negroes to fight mobs of whites. As a matter of fact, they have not given much evidence that they take Chile's advice on anything very seriously; probably it does not teach very many of them. It must be said for the Negroes that as a rule, they have borne their hard treatment with commercial self-restraint, and this is all the more noteworthy because the rank and file of the blacks, especially in the Southern states, is not made up of the most intelligent representatives of the race. Doubtless fear of the consequences restraints man- The fact that lynchings have been frequent and numerous is not justification for bloody normal, but the law of morals and ethics which makes the wind grow into a harvest in the wartwind would long ago have resulted in more displorable conditions if it had not been for the wisdom and providence of the Negroes in placing their trust in the ultimate triumph of justice and humanity. Sometimes the trust may appear misplaced, but signs are deceptive and to follow such rabid advice as Chiles offers would only make matters immensely worse. The worst enemies of the Negro race are just such representatives — or representatives — who are in effect guilty morally of the same gross violations of the law as those white people who indict mob vengeance upon blacks, innocent and guilty alike. "T. o best friends of the black race are those who are working patiently and persistently to elevate the race and teach it to work out its own salvation by industry, integrity and confidence to the law. The strongest provocation is never in excuse for crime or injustice of any sort." The Journal seems to think it the duty of the black man to sit with folded arms and watch a mob of white brutes destroy his property and perhaps take his life, while the officers of the law wink at justice and say they are powerless. We say no as do the 10,000 Negroes who read The Plaindealer each week and these mobs must be met with a dose of their own medicine which is the only sure cure for such outbreaks of lawlessness. It has been clearly demonstrated that the officers will not offer the Negro any protection from mob violence, neither will they put forth an honest effort to bring the culprits to justice. Now, what is left for the colored people to do but meet them with guns and dynamite and when the smoke clears away, they will find the "consequences" very gratifying for their homes will be --- State Name VOLUME XIII. unmolested, and they can return to them at will. Colored men and women are lynched burned and driven from their homes for no other crime than that of living in localities where whites think they should not. The editor of the Journal should look at his own city where they dynamite the homes of respectable colored citizens and the officers fail to find the guilty ones—in fact they have never made a special effort to do so, neither has the editor of the Kansas City Journal, who claims to be in love with justice, used the columns of his paper to assist in ferriting out the criminals. As to many of the race not seeing this paper, ten thousand of them read it every week in the year and a few thousand whites also read and relish it. The Negro mast and will cease to how his head as the Journal would have him do while a garg of white ruthians destroys all that is sacred and dear to him. If the editor of the Journal would murdle his reporters who magnify the least accusation against a Negro and quit endorsing the acts of its himself as is shown by the above outburst, he would go a long way toward relieving the situation. The Negro is not asking any special friendship at the hands of the white man, but simply the same opportunity given the Indian, Chinaman, Jew and Slav. We shall continue to tell the poor unprotected colored man to resent these methods just as long as the men elected to office fail to do their sworn duty, and thousands of loyal whites will laud and say that our stand is right. VERNON IN ARKANSAS. William Technech Verhon, former Registrar of the United States Treasury and now supervisor of education in the Department of the Interior, en route to Oklahoma from a visit of inspection of the work of such schools as Tuskegee and Hampton Institute, with a view of comparing the work of these institutions with that of the Indian schools maintained by the government, spoke to a large audience at the First A.

The interest of the black man and the white man is so intervene that they are com- mon and they must be worked out on a common basis. The Negro has proven his right to stay here by his bravery on a humilil battlefield, by the fact he has betrayed no trust in the days gone by and is no worse now than he was then. We must have confidence in our leaders on the one hard, and on the other we must have a leadership that will not be trays. The Negro race will get all that comes to it by being worthy as a result of education, competency, manhood and real worth. There is that in manhood that appeals to manhood, whether in white or black. The boys who lot on the streets by day and their parents' home by night their lodging places, growing into idleness and criminality, must be stopped. The girls who look lightly upon values of life and morality must be taught that the only thing of worth is character and virtue whether clad in rags or in silks." KANSAS ANNUAL CONFERENCE. African Methodist Show Great Advancement. Perhaps the most successful meeting of the Kansas African Methodist conference closed Sunday at St. John A. M. E. church, Eighth and Nebraska avenue, Kansas City, Ks., the Rev O. E. Jones, pastor and bishop H. B. Parks, presiding. This was his first time to preside over this conference and also a pleasure, he having been a member of this conference for several years. He is a hard worker, careful and painstaking and nothing escapes his watchful eye. He is a business bishop and if the ministers any conference think they are going to sleep on permit grass to grow under their feet while Bishop Parks is on the job they will find themselves radically mistaken. The report showed an increase of two hundred dollars over 1910 The national home for sick and disabled preachers was reported paid for and will be ready for the reception of guests in November. Rev. Brasson, the promoter of the project will go down in history as one of the founders who successfully paid for the home in less than three years. Among the several conference visitors were Revs Caldwell, Wat. mon, Owens, Ward, Lewis, Brazton; Prot. Vernon and Bishop Hard of Africa. Since the appointments, Rev. J. K. Edwards will probably go to the North Missouri conference instead of going to Lincoln. Rev. J. L. Craw, secretary of the conference for several years will go to Portland, Orgon to take charge of the First church. He is a young progressive minister who will make good anywhere. His wife is a wife in a night, intelligent Christian church worker and the worst should feel proud to have them and Portland must treat them right for they are in every way deserving. Rav C. R. Runyon, of Independence, presided the annual sermon He is one of the leading pulpotters of the west, and the ministers high The conference convened Thursday and adjourned Monday. Great credit is due Rev. Jones and the sisters of the church for the time me served at the M. & O. hall. Resolution endorsing Rev. J. R. Rison for financial secretary and the return of Bishop Park to the Fifth precipal district were unanimously adopted Rev. Rison has a string tied hard and fast to the job He has been endorsed from California to Kansas and the wave will sweep to the Atlantic and into the Everglades of Florida. Rev. Benjamin L. Watson should be one of the bishops at the next general conference.

SOUTH MUSKOGEE TOWN company has an alld elsewhere in this paper, in which the other rare opportunities to those who care to invest in property that is constantly growing in value Those families with conditions in and around Muskogee, will agree that there are more opportunities offered Negroes in Muskogee and Muskogee county than in any other section of the United States. Muskogee is the wonder city of the Southwest, in a new situation where opportunity is measured by a man's ability to do. The South Muskogee Town company has a proposition to offer wide range of bustling people. The proposition is just South of Muskogee in the heart of the oil and gas fields and within city access of the city, where those who go out to work temporarily may find a convenient way to combine investment with the ability to strengthen that investment. Agents: Good wide awake and bustling agents can find clean and profitable employment selling this property. It is the best proposition on the market today and those who desire to take advantage of the chance will do well to call on or address the company, Estes Building, Muskogee, Okla. We have not the manager of the company and can truthfully say that he is a fair, square gentleman. Mr. C. L. Steele, president of the company and Mr. L. N. Sears, secretary and treasurer, are gentlemen who we well known in Muskogee and have a standing in the financial world sufficient to guarantee any proportion they may undertake. All goods to be sold in this town are issued by Mr. L. D. Swicey cashier of the Commercial National Bank. In this way, every purchaser is assured that he is protected. THE ASH LUMBER COMPANY is one of the leading companies in this line in Muskogee. They are agents for Golden Seal and Silver King Plasters, both hair and wood shaved. In a general way they are dealers in white pine, long and shot east yellow pine, Louisiana red cypress, red cedar shingles and sanding lime, cement and M'Alester and Henryetta deep mine coal. The manager, Mr. William Ash is a pleasant gentleman to meet and is always pleased to meet those interested in building material and talk prices and terms. Their stock is complete in every detail and they are in a position to give the public anything in the line of building material.

If sown brand oil it may be made just before a shower and there will then be no necessity for covering the seed, as the rain drops will do the work better a light covering being all that is required. If the soil is drilled out on irrigation the plants may be cultured by hand, the rows being placed about eightteen inches apart. But in plants of seed at the times of drying and then out the plants when they come up till they are from three to four inches apart thus giving them ample room to grow.—Ilustra Blue Seed Car Hose.

Brief Suggestions. do over the or hotel and see that all the wounds are well painted. The golfer was born is a favorite with many garden makers. It is tender of good quality and stringless. If a small pig is chilled it can be reived by dipping it in water as hot as you can bear your hand so, then wrapping it in warm dummed. Don't keep your house in an over heated staircase and then stand film for hours in a framing atmosphere and wonder how he becomes 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 plugs soon och has come to do with its health than what we put in. Blackberries are very profiled and ripen at the time they can be consumed locally gathered and marketed. They are so well imbued by late fruits and for this reason are superior than some other berries that ripen earlier. The wheel hoses are great 'labour saws'. A plow attachment is very convenient for opening furrows and to cover the larger soils, as peas, beans and sweet corn. Some of the combination wheel tools with drills, cultivating tooth, plows and rakes are very satisfactory. FARM FAIRS USEFUL. They Not Only Educate But They Make Money For The Irs. That the form is as we worth who has been domeat to it did hines and counts by the stipmen of agrie to it. The report shows that there are in the United States 1200 county full institutions, with a paid up membership of 1201 and that the total results in total of the various exhibitions were $22,000. The agricultural college and the farmers' institute have been benefited very greatly. The fair gives these in attitudes and their workers an opportunity to meet farmers personally. It gives an opportunity to secure cooperation in demonstration work, makes it possible to get in touch with farmers and consult agricultural schools and short courses, not only while the expatriation is on, but also in different parts of the country later. It makes it possible to collect in one place the results of hold demonstrations all over the state and enables college and at a men to secure ```markdown ``` names and forces of representative farmers who intend to correspond in dissemination of information At certain point each day lemon attractions are given at different parts of the garden.

This matter of food at time has caused a lot of trouble in using very frequent by groups in loading to intense dissaturation and often to impatient or perverse. The judging must be done, as far as possible by wholes of interested experts. The judge ought to be ready to explain any finding if it is asked to do so. There are plenty of expert judges available in all classes, now, as there is no reason why the best of judges should not be served. The matter of enclosures and amenities has caused more controversy and discussion than any other thing in connection with the state or county fair. Details of speed, aerobatic and length of hand performances, exhibitions of trained animals, moving pictures, military drills, games of ball, foot races and other similar entertainments, are all objectionable when properly controlled and provide entertainment for those who come to spend an idle hour. But user should be very carefully supervised and not be permitted to interfere with the main exhibits and more educational features of the fair. All entertainments should be restricted to certain hours when it would be possible for all who desire to witness and enjoy them. It is suggested that all county fair shall be supervised by the secretary of the state board of agriculture or some one from the department of agriculture. A general meeting of representatives of all the fair associations we should be held each year for conference and discussion of important topics. Value of White Dahl White oak is now a rare that the so called white oak timber of our markets is often a mixture of various species in lending red oak. It is the most impossible to get an unlised consignment of white oak. LIME ON THE FARM. Best Way to Test It is to Try It on Small Patch. Lime seems to be used on parts of most farms. It corrects sourness, melts heavy soils, keeps light soils to retain moisture, favors the growth of olerve and alfalfa and checks the fertility of some plant diseases. The most certain way, according to two faster Brooks of the Massachusetts experiment station, to find out which or time will help the soil is to try it on a small plot in a field to be tested. Apply twenty pounds of fresh sebest oil to two square rods. Beets are a good test crop, as they grow better upon a fined 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. Quickline is really the cheap cut form, because when buying it the purchaser does not have to pay for water that is taken up when slaking lime. One handled 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 178 pounds of raw limestone. Lime can be slaked in small heaps by applying just water enough to wet the lumps, using about two pailfuls of water to 150 pounds of lime. After a few days it will have crumbled to a powder. Most farmers strike the lime before applying, as the unslaked lime is very disagreeable to use, even with a mixture preader 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 goldlime. Sometimes refuse lime from tanneries is a very cheap source of lime, and it can usually be had for the heating. MAKE FARMHOUSE FIT. Don't Build Compact City Dwelling on Your Sprouted Green Fields. In our great city the town is large and houses many buildings of all kinds. Architects build them and the most house is limited space so the man of interest the most fort to buy is big lot which is built on these buildings and it is very well with all the other buildings. But we see that these houses are being taken in the county. When set into a wide space with the air it is of harmony with the air it is. The town so sheld have the comforts and comforts and the city house built it could be the city house. 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 bobtailled 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 satisfactica 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 bean and a pint of flour. Mix with sufficient sour milk to make batter. Add two teaspoonfuls of soda stirred up in a little milk and salt to taste. The batter must not be made too thin, nor should the cake be allowed to search. The big cake laid 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 planting trees about the house set them quite a distance off, say thirty feet. Let the sunshine in and save doctors' bills. One of the first considerations in improving country life and in reducing the drudgery of farm work is the extensive use of improved farm machinery. Study your conditions and examine the implement catalogue for the tools you need. Difficult implementations are the farmer's capital and usually bring profits when properly used. HORSE NOTE3 Jerking the bit only using confuse it, and a further use a blockhead. Your horse may need to please you but it is not under your control. You can get no more power from your horse than give him in his food. Good food will put life into a horse a hundred times better than an eight foot when. If the fella is the clipped and the horse's legs kept clean scratching will never bother. Never work a term of colts together until they are thoroughly broken, as they will wry each other. If dusty hay is fed, sprinkle with water and it will save the horse much annoyance, but better not feed it at all. It makes some horses ugly to work them with horses that do not travel up with them. Match them as to guit as well as to other things NEW CORN FOR PIGS. Useful Fattening Feed if Added to the Ration Gradually. With proper judgment considerable use can be made of new corn by fattening the early pigs, save the Kansas Farmer. As the pictures begin to grow short new corn that is beginning to deat may be cut and given to the pigs Care must be taken that they be come accustomed to this new corn gradually ity cutting the new corn, stalk and all, a considerable portion of the green houses and inner parts will be eaten As the corn becomes more mature and the ration increases the hogs will eat less and less of the fodder until they are in practical a full feel of corn It is seldom possible to fatten legs on a full ration of corn alone in a dry lot. They soon come to thirst and will not eat as large a ration as is desired. The balanced ration will yield the largest gains and almost invariably the cheapest gains. Alfalfa pastures or good, bright light of life, any of the fourth or fifth rations supplied toattening hogs will be a very efficient and economical means of obtaining the corn ration; supplies are protein, which is desirable in corn, and gives variety to the ration in soy beans, where available, will serve the same purpose, given as a portion of the ration. Any food of which is unreliable protein, 100 lb. of salt, profit sales too high in price. This is not fooling stuff to be treated for purpose to the packing box. This is not fooling age or amount of this high in nitrogenous product, and high in price, such as for room use only a small amount is a price. It has been successfully practiced by so many experimenters, students and practitioners that there can be no doubt as to its value. To a fitting bag of 150 pounds, weight one half and of tankage only is sufficient. Care must be taken that there is sufficient trough room, which has to receive its proper allowance. While corn is the best grain for fattening hogs, almost any of the cereals may be used. Kish corn is very similar in composition and if ground and properly balanced gives results very nearly as good as corn. Wheat is fully the equal of corn, pound for pound—in fact, hogs will be 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. Barley is not rellished quite so well by hogs as corn, but can be used as a fattening grain for breeding stock it is better than corn. Cottonseed meal, although one of our richest feeds, is never safe for hogs as far as we know at present. It may be used for limited periods and in small quantities with good results. Bring Suspense to Suspense Swine Succumbs to Stroke. 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 an abundance of shade and a sanitary wallowing place. Fat hogs are extremely susceptible to strokes, as they cannot perpire freely and have their body temperature reduced by the evaporation of the perspiration as can the horse. An excellent plan is to frequently swab the hog's bodies with water to keep them cool. A bug prostrated by the bess should be conveyed to a shade place, where cool water should be poured on the head and neck, but not over the rest of the body. Water For Raise Cage Bring the Ball Cakes Every built off of lies at age of one year of which he will be unsafe to lie with a hitter. From that time on ring and snap if he is of a beef breed and a staff if of a dairy breed will be the only means by which he can be handled safely. LIVE STOCK GOOD DIPPING VAT FOR SHEEP Every Farmer With Flock of Twenty five Animals Should Possess One—Concrete Is Cheap. A farmer owning as many as twenty-five sheep should have a good dipping vet. These may be made of wood, metal or concrete. For a smaller number of sheep than twenty-five, the barrel used to scald the pigs will do if the farmer feels that he cannot afford to purchase or build a plant. A good galvanized vat ten feet long and four feet deep made purposely for dipping can be purchased for about $12. There are smaller sizes than this that can be purchased for less money. Concrete vats can be built at a normal cost. Three or four farmers can club together and purchase one of the galvanized tanks and haul it to their respective farms as it is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep should be narrow enough to present the sheep turning around in it, and deep enough to swim large sheep. The length of the vat should depend upon the number of sheep a man keeps on his place, as the longer the vat the greater the number of sheep which can be dipped in a day. There is considerable variation as to the A Dipping Vat. width of vats found on different farms and as a usual thing they are wider that necessa s. Then, too, the narrower the vat the less the dip required to fill. A vat 20 inches wide at the top and 5 inches wide at the bottom is a fair average as regards width, although some very practical sheep men construe their vats as narrow as 16 inches at the top and 5 inches at the bottom when the vat is 4 feet deep. The size of sheep kept on a farm must, of course, be taken into consideration. The dipping valve illustrated is located in two directions of the hog house, and can be used for the display of sheep and young pigs. It is built entirely of concrete, the walls on which are 6 inches in width with the exception of the partition between the sat and dry chamber, which has a thickness of 9 inches. The end of the sat into which the hogs and sheep are plunged is perpendicular while the opposite end is provided with an accline which is quite deeply arranged so that the animal can walk out. The floor around the end of the sat from which the sheep emerge is so graded that all droppings return to the sat. There are sewer connections with this outfit, the valve of which is located in the dry chamber. The end of the sewer pipe in the sat is provided with a grate and trap so as to catch ban of wool and droppings which would otherwise clog the pipe. MAKING A HOG-TIGHT FENCE Brick or Stone Surk In Ground With Piece of Wire Attached Will Prove Effective. I have had no little amount of trouble fencing against hogs, for stretch the fence as tightly as I could, some old sow or pig would eventually press the wire up between the posts and let the whole bunch out, says a writer in the Farm and Home. A year ago I tried the following device for keeping my hogs from lifting the fence: Take a brick or small stone for a weight and a piece of No 9 wire long enough to fasten around the weight with three feet extending, and sink the weight two and a half feet in the Hog Tight Fence. ground directly under the bottom wire and half way between the posts. Tamp the earth firmly over the weight and then bring the bottom wire of the fence down closely to the ground and fasten it to the wire that is on the weight. This holds the fence down firmly to the ground and there is no dog that can raise it up.

If so, he can make no better investment than to take his family to the state fair. By so doing he will cast bread upon the waters. The profits will be dollars and sense. The blessing will be—better boys, better girls, better farms. Every boy and every girl has a right to have a good time while young. Make the child happy and you have done much to make it good. The neglected and unhappy child too oft becomes the tramp and the vagabond. The state fair is the crossroads of well directed effort, the showcase of brawn and brawn, the season's finished story, the upstairs of human endeavor, the home of the topnotcher, the inner chamber of the temple of ambition and perseverance, the college and university of experience and experiment, the arena where Greek meets Greek; the battle of the breeds, the field upon which the victories of peace are won, the home stretch of genius and invention, the repository of finished products, the place where exhibitors learn the joys of victory and the gloom of defeat, the pendulum which moves the hands on the clock of progress, the guideboard pointing the way to better methods and better things, a convincing argument for higher ideals, the scene of the newest and the best, the high priest of civilization and Christian living When the boy learns that father will take him to this great exposition the world will at once seem brighter to both father and son. Hard work will not seem so much like drudgery. The boy will sing and whistle and his heart be glad from morn till night. The old farm will have a charm it never had before. More sunshine in the home and a hundred smiles for every frown —A. P. Sandles, in Official Bulletin Ohio Department of Agriculture. GIVE STOCK PURE WATER. Cheap and Easy Way to Keep Them as Comfortable as Humans. One of the greatest difficulties that confronts the stock raiser during dry summer weather is that of keeping pure water for the stock. The figure below is an illustration of a method used in western states. Bury an old glacier tank or some other construction CAPABLE SHOCK LOUSAIN. that will hold at least fifty gallons of water. In this place a large size water barrel, hold some three or four holes in the bottom end of this just below the top of the outside tank, in these holes place an iron tube as much as an inch in diameter and the inside tank will always be full of water, and there is no waste. WASTED EGGS. Two eggs out of every dozen laid by American hens may be said to drop through holes in the farmer's basket before they reach a market. In other words, while the hen sees to it that every egg she lays is worth taking care of, the farmer takes proper care of only ten. The aggregate loss from this cause reaches over $1,000,000 annually. Nearly all those eggs may be saved by a better arrangement of poultry houses, a better system in collecting eggs and by co-operation in quick marketing. Hum of the Hive. Wait till spring to make a start in beekeeping It is surprising what an influence the winter has over the clover flow for the following spring, and where the heavy snow prevail it is generally a good omen for a heavy clover flow. If you are tired of the filmy bottom boards that are sent out by a number of manufactureurs that hardly last long enough to pay for the paint they take, or if you have had mishaps with them in moving bees, etc., here is your remedy. Order all your bottom boards made out of seven eighths inch lumber. The real way to furnish a good market for honey is to produce the very best article and make people believe it. Honey is often sold at 15, 10, 19 and 20 cents right in a community where much honey is selling for 10 cents simply because buyers knew that the honey they were paying the higher price for was all right. Give your bees a chance to use their wings all year round. When cold weather comes on pack straw or leaves under the hives and also around them, being careful to leave a way open to the hive door. When the tem perature gets to 47 degrees the bees will fly and get back to their hives as soon as a wind comes up. Being win tered out of doors they get the beneat of several winter flights, cleansing flights, will have a beneit fat. Your packing is around them in the spring and you won't need to unpack them until the cold weather has passed by, and they will get along more rapidly than in the cellar. MARKETING=GROWING. This Equation is an Axiom, Especially to the Apple Producer. Success in apple culture, financially speaking, says the report of the Vermont agricultural experiment station, is just as dependent upon the intelligent and businesslike disposal of the fruit as upon the cultural methods followed in its production. It is quite possible to grow a good crop of nice fruit and yet through lack of business ability or intelligence or both to fail to realize a reasonable profit from its disposal. Success in the business end of fruit growing depends largely upon the following factors. Picking the fruit at the proper time and in a careful manner, proper grading and packing, the use of attractive packages, ```markdown ``` APPLES PIT FOR BIG IBEXES proper storage, adequate transportation facilities, placing the fruit on the market in its season and when it is commanding a good price. While there are no hard and fast rules governing the picking of apples, the successful orchardist strives to harvest his fruit when it has reached its full size and has developed, in the case of coloured varieties, a notional, or if possible, a maximum, amount of coke. Apples should not hang until they have begun to ripen if a long keeping fruit is desired. The ability so to grade and to pack apples, that when they are offered for sale they present an attractive appearance because of uniformity and minimum amount of injury from transportation is a valuable asset to the orchard. This one item determines largely the success or failure of the grower to realize the best market price for his product. In order to present this attractive appearance the apples must be of a nearly uniform size and color and present few surface deficiencies. In parking either a barrel or box the package should be carefully faced with fruit which should as nearly as possible represent its average contents. Faces, however, may be somewhat higher colored than the average without seriously misrepresenting the contents of the package. Barrel packages are either single or double faced, usually the latter. In facing a package the stem end is placed downward. By judicious selection of facers the packer can usually manage to have a well tilted layer. Large interiors or irregular arrangement of the fruit in the facer rows detracts materially from the finished appearance of the package. Likewise high colored fruit should not be mixed with medium or low colored fruit in the facer row. Uniformity in size, arrangement, color and freedom from blisters are four points to be kept in mind. The observance of these details above does not however, insure an at fruitive package when opened. An other necessary precaution is that the package shall be sufficiently well filled so that when headed it will be just firm enough to hold the fruit in place and not so tight as to bruise a considerable proportion of it. A clean, bright barrel should be used, in which a plain or corrugated paper cap should be placed to lessen the bruising and add to the attractiveness of the package. The bottom being faced, the barrel should be half filled with fruit poured in carefully by lowering the basket well into the barrel and given a thorough shaking to settle the apples into place. This operation should be repeated when the barrel is nearly full. It is then filled a trifle above the chines, the top layer being arranged as uniformly as possible. The contents of the barrel are then pressed into place with a well padded head specially prepared for this purpose. When this false head is removed a plain or preferably corrugated paper cap is added and the top cover pressed into place with a screw or lever barrel header and nailed firmly into place. Tough twigs may be used for clecting. When barrels are filled full the pressing may injure all the apples When filled two light to provide for shrinkage during shipment the apples present an even sorter appearance. Out Work In Ground Do not rush the ground later than August. The wind must have time to harden, and the sap should not be encouraged to run. the great record that place in the thirty day division and had her picture so widely published many letters have come to me in regard to her, says Superintendent M. H. Gardner of the Holstein Registry at Delavan, Wis., in a letter to the American Cullivator. Several breeders show curiosity as to her lack of horns, one or two commenting unfavorably. As an individual proposition a neat pair of short, nicely curved waxy horns on a cow's head may be something to be admired. As a general proposition the cow of today has no need of such weapons, and if she has them will surely use them on her mates in the herd and cause more or less loss to the owner. Ages ago when the ancestors of Pietterle Mahl Ormsby ran half wild in the forests of Europe it was necessary for the cow to protect her calf from the depreciations of wolves and other beasts of prey, and the horns which nature had provided for that purpose were a necessity, but such conditions no longer exist, and our breeders may well ask themselves as to what useful purpose can be served by horns on the head of a cow. Pietertje Mahl Ornansby never had any horns because their growth was prevented. When a calf of about three weeks old, as soon as slight swellings showed where the horns were to be, she was laid on her side and the hair closely clipped from both swellings. Then the swellings were moistened with water and carefully rubbed with a stick of caustic potash, and the work was done with absolutely no pain to the little animal. LIME WET LANDS IN FALLS Caustic Forms Are Best and Cheapest M. Second, When Faintly Powdered The period of late July and August affords the best time for the drainage of many wet areas of land which are no saturated that they are filled with water at other seasons, says Professor B. O. Pippin of the New York State College of Agriculture. Particularly is it desirable to drain heavy clay land at this season in order that the soil which is thrown out may have an opportunity to thoroughly dry before being returned to its position over the tile. This period of short work is worth considering for the drainage of these other wet areas on the farm which show themselves in the field by the dwindled crop and the distress which it authors during these dry periods. These place which suffer most from drought are often the same areas which have had an excess of water in the only sparing. The application of time on oil meadow and upon other land which is to be plowed for a crop next spring should now be considered. Canals forms of time which are generally most economical in this state are best applied in the fall. Provided they are distributed in the study powdered farm I all applications followed by late fall or only spring plowing are preferable. POST LIFTER THAT LIFTS. Costs Practically Nothing, but No Patent Device Can Boat It. Take an old solid corplanter wheel and set it as closely against the post as the chain will allow. Put a hook, A, on the end of the main chain, using a shorter chain to go around the post. just at the top of the ground. With a horse at it, with a long singleton. This is the best post litter ever and can be rigged up in the shortest time. The upward pull on the post may be increased by placing a triangular block in front of wheel. A SEED CORN OBSERVATION A Michigan farmer vouches for this method of improving his corn. He says, "I always choose the top ear from a stalk bearing two or more ears and after doing so for the third or fourth time I have been successful in growing four to six ears on at least half the stalks in the field." General Farm Notes. Oats are the best single grain food for a horse and the best for road purposes. A good coit bait for a purpose, and feel and trained for a purpose, is never a drug on the market. Pure food plenty of oil and regular exerci are best for the mother horse but don't override the work. The individuals of each horse should be studied and the foods supplied to meet individual requirements. Don't shout me or the coat in a dingy place by himself give him company fondship. A coat will do if there are another coats in the farm. If the lawn is and the grass does not grow in good growth apply nitrate at the rate of 150 to 200 pound a year after broad root first be in or before wilting. Nitrate may be used on spikech and other leaf crops to all plantage a large per cent die from various causes. All these troubles are classed, under the one term-cornstalk disease. In some western fields where there is a second growth of cane stalk late in the fall an early frost will at times develop in the stalk a deadly poison, hydrocyanic acid, which kills the animal in a very few minutes after eating it, says the Kansas Agricultural college. In the last year or two some of our state experiment stations have been investigating several molds which seem to affect not only cattle, but horses as well. These molds grow quite abundantly upon cornstalks, alfalfa and other forage crops. The death of a great number of animals has been traced directly to the feeding of such affected folder, hay or corn. These molds, however, must have a certain amount of moisture for their growth, and it has been shown that when the feeds have been properly harvested and sheltered no trouble has resulted. Only in materials exposed to the weather, allowing the development of these lower forms of plant life, has serious trouble been found. In the treatment of these troubles nothing reliable can be given, as disease usually comes on without any warning, and the animal dies suddenly. Much of the trouble can be avoided by allowing the animals only a limited amount of the feed or in the stalk field a few hours only each day. It is necessary that plenty of pure water should be given frequently and enough of other roughage to keep the animals from gorging themselves on the fodder. HOW TO SAVE PIG FOOD. Easy Way to Prevent Waste and Also to Keep the Shoats Clean. Many a time will the pig spill his food all over the ground. He can be stopped by making a trough similar to the one shown in the drawing. Place an ordinary trough right in front of the gate. Take the gate off its hinges and swing from a rod at the top, so as to swing over the top of the trough LOOD PROJECTING THROUGH When pouring the swill into the trough the gate is swing inward and held in place by the fastener shown. When the trough is full the gate is swing Ditch and fastened. The trough itself is made of heavy material and securely fastened by a stake at each end, which also prevents the log from getting into the end when the gate is swung open. Boul Ropes Straight. The best way to soften hay carrier ropes is to boil them in wood ashes. This is a formula for 4 years old that has never been in use to fail. But one-fourth to one half boxlesh in enough water to cover rags, say six to ten palpula, according to the size of your kettle. Boil it until you are sure that it is thoroughly wet through, hang it up to dry and leave it alone until perfectly dry. Then you will have a rope as soft and pliable as a tow string and one that will give double the service in wear as one untreated. It will pay any one to try the experiment. MAKE HENS PRODUCERS. The fowls belonging to the average farmer weigh from three to four pounds. They should weigh from six to eight pounds. The average hen lays seventy-five eggs a year. She should lay 160 eggs a year. These gains can be made by careful selection and breeding. Do not kill the laying hen. Weed out the nonproducers. --- Live Stock Notes. Enslage may be fed to sheep, but roots are better and safer Every quadruped on the place earns his salt, but does it always get it? The best way to be sure of healthy sheep is to give them good feed and the best care you can Pick out the best lamb in the flock to keep or else buy one of some successful breeder of sheep. Because sheep have warm coats it does not follow that they can be exposed to wet and storms The colt should early be taught the use of the halter and made to know that his master is his friend Five minutes' work with a rough cloth on the horse's hide after a hard day's work will do him a lot of good. What we want to do in working a horse for the first time is to teach it to do things which it never did before. The trick should have a salt content by far in the past so the sheep can help them to do it when they graze it in the essentials of success in and sheep. It is a trick we need to suggest that it is good to make a close examination of our newly purchased hogs and be assured that they are absolutely free from herpes before they are turned with the other hogs. Hon. Arthur W. Harris, a former Topeka newspaper man, dropped in one day last week for a short visit with his mother and sister, and to take a peep at the big State Fair Mr. Harris is located in Sedalia Mo., where he is managing a $10,000 printing plant for the U. B. F.'s, the wealthiest Negro organizations in the West; and his paper, The Searchlight, is a gem, beaming with good pure, wholesome matter. Mr. Harris took charge of the plant several months ago, and with that vim, push vigor for which he is noted, brought it up to where it is noticed and felt throughout the country. He has recorded more newspapers from the grave than any colored man in the business, and wherever he puts his hard success is sure to follow. Speaking of him, Prof B. K. Bruce told the Editor of this paper, that in the short time Mr. Harris has been with them, he had accomplished as much if not more for the order than any one man in it. At the recent session of the Grand Lodge, Mr. Harris, without solicitation was re-elected manager of the paper at an increased salary. He has the best wishes of both white and black members of the craft. COFFEYVILLE Atty.

FOR THE CHILDREN FOR THE CHILDREN --- The Fox and the Crow. Some time a man a crow who found A piece of cheese upon the ground Perched high upon a heighting beech And held the prize will out of reach A sly old fox who watched her flight Remarked, "That whistles my appetite" He winked his eye and scratched his head, And then Mistress Crow he said: "My dear, you are a handome bird. Your voice is very sweet. I ve heard. Your lovely song, so rich and clear, Is just the thing I long to hear. I am sure it must be passing fair And one with which none can compare. So let me hear you sing, I pray. For I am feeling blue today." The crow when Revnard thus did speak Degan to "Caw," which quail her break The cheese at once diced down below. The fox to seize it was not slow He laughed at Mistress Crow's distress. And thus the bird he did address "Give car to duttery if you must, But always listen with distrust." The Game of Quota. A good game to play on the lawn in this season of the year is quoits. A quoit is a flatish ring of iron, generally from eight and one fourth to nine and one half inches in external diameter and between one and two inches in breadth. It is convex on the upper side and slightly can be on the underside, so that the outer edge convex down and is sharp enough to stick into the ground. The mode of playing is as follows: "two plus, called hoops," are driven into the ground from eight to twenty four inches apart, and the players who are skilled in two parties stand at one "hoop" and an regular six session throw their quoits of wild hoops in player has two as well to the other side as they are the points are counted in lynch or furling. To facilitate the striking of the quoits at the point where they strike the ground in play, that is, a flat circle of clay about one two inches in thickness and one and one half foot in thickness is placed around each "hoop." This requires to be kept moist and should have sandy sprinkled over it. "The quoit when it is thrown is grasped with the right hand by one side and pitched with an upward and forward jerk of the hand and arm, which gives it a whirling motion and causes it to strike the ground with its edge—Philadelphia Ledger. Monkey Bell Ringers. The monkey take a look in the Pittsburg zoo, and eight monkeys escaped. They had a rotten vacation, but it did not last long. They heaped away from their cage and took the overland route so that nobody might catch them. All night they remained quiet and peaceful somewhere or other, and no one could imagine what had become of them. In the morning the mystery was clear. Everybody knew where they were. They were in the beltry of the church near the zoo. There are bells in the staircase, and the monkeys were ringing them, swinging from one rope to another and making kibs that they were in their old original forest. They kept up the ringing of the bells until the fire department men came with hiders and climbed up to get them. Dog Libes Flowers A Seattle family have a yellow dog with a singular love for flowers, which frequently gets him into trouble. The dog, after making sure that the coast is clear, will go into the garden and pluck a number of flowers and, placing them in a heap, will be down and go to sleep with his nose in the lunch. His favorite flower is the rose, and he insatiably plays the stem four or five inches below so he is not to injure the flower. All his nations indulge that he enjoys the perfume of the flowers, and it rarely impedes that he is not seen with some cheerful flower in his mouth. The only trouble is that he calls from every garden that he sees and in consequence has notewily escaped being shot for his nosthetic taste— Clveso It. Do you know how to play "theses it"? It is put on the playground because no man or boy can enter the contest. The host to "do it" and he takes it and stands with his back to the others, who are grouped at the far end of the yard. The key with the stick thumps it upon the ground three times, and then suddenly turns around to look at the others. If he can see one moving forward he names him and sends him back to the starting point. It is the object of the players to dash forward quickly while the catcher is not backing and to remain still when he turns around philadelphia record. Chexing.

Garden Clos. If you are given a cutlery or porch part you may make your cutliness very tempting by using fine biscuit cutters to make them round or heart shaped. CORNSTALK DISEASE. Look Out For Your Cattle if You Let Them Run in Fields. When cattle are allowed to run in stalk fields it frequently happens that a large per cent die from various causes. All these troubles are caused under the one term—cornstalk disease. In some western fields where there is a second growth of cane stalk late in the fall an early frost will at times develop in the stalk a deadly poison, hydrocyanic acid, which kills the animal in a very few minutes after eating it. says the Kansas Agricultural college. In the last year or two some of our state experiment stations have been investigating several molds which seem to affect not only cattle, but horses as well. These molds grow quite abundantly upon cornstalks, alfalfa and other forage crops. The death of a great number of animals has been traced directly to the feeding of such affected foeder, hay or corn. These molds, however, must obtain amount of moist soil with, and it has been how the feeds have been prepared and sheltered no molds is mitied. Only in certain exposed to the weather, allowing the development of these low or frost of paint life, has stations, t. be found. In the treatment of these troubles nothing reliable can be given, as this case usually comes on without any warning, and the animals dies suddenly. Much of the trouble can be avoided by allowing the animals only a limited amount of the food in the stalk field a few hours or each day. It is necessary that plenty of pure water should be given frequently and enough of other rough water to keep the animals from taking the mud on the father. Easy Way to Prevent Waste and Also to Keep the Shoes Clean. Many a time will the pig spill his food all over the ground. He can be stopped by making a trough similar to the one shown in the drawing. Place an ordinary trough right in front of the gate. Take the gate off its hinges and swing from a rod at the top, so as to swing over the top of the trough. FOOD PROTECTING TROUGH. When pouring the swill into the trough the gate is swung inward and held in place by the fastener shown. When the trough is full the gate is swung back and fastened. The trough itself is made of heavy material and securely fastened by a stake at each end, which also prevents the hog from getting into the end when the gate is swung open. The best way to soften hay carrier ropes is to boil them in wood ashes. This is a formula forty years old that has never been known to fail. Put one-fourth to one half bushel in enough water to cover rope, say six to ten pallets, according to the size of your kettle. Boil it until you are sure that it is thoroughly wet through, hang it up to dry and leave it alone until perfectly dry. Then you will have a rope as soft and pliable as a tow string and one that will give double the service in wear as one untreated. It will pay any one to try the experiment. MAKE HENS PRODUCERS. The fowls belonging to the average farmer weigh from three to four pounds. They should weigh from six to eight pounds. The average hen lays seventy-five eggs a year. She should lay 150 eggs a year. These gains can be made by careful selection and breeding. Do not kill the laying hen. Weed cut the nonproducers. Live Stock Notes. Firstly, it is felt to sheep, but roots are not safer Every child died on the plains earns his salt, but it always gets it. The best way to be sure of healthy sheep is to keep them good feed and the best way to pick out the last lamb in the flock to keep it is to buy one of some successful breeder of sheep. Because sheep have warm costs it does not show that they can be exposed to wet and storms. The coolest thing be taught the use of the hinder and made to know that his torsor has fled. The man work with a rough cloth on it and will be after a hard day's work, wield him a lot of good. What we want to do in working a horse for the first time is to teach it to do the work which it never did before. The horse should have salt constantly before it matures, be the sheep can not that we to it when they crave it, one of the essentials of an essential milk sheep. It is very necessary to suggest that it be kept to make a close examination of it, only purchased hogs need be used to that they are absolutely free from heat before they are turned with the other hogs. HORSE NOTES. Jerking the bit and yelling confuse a horse and advertise a blockhead. Your horse many intend to please you, but does not understand your wishes. You can get no more power from your horse than you give him in his food. Good feed will put life into a horse a hundred times better than an eight foot whip. If the fetlocks are clipped and the horse's legs kept clean scratching will never bother. Never work a team of colts together until they are thoroughly broken, as they will worry each other. If dusty hay is fed, sprinkle with water and it will save the horse much annoyance, but better not feed it at all. It makes some horses ugly to work them with horses that do not travel up with them. Match them as to gait as well as to other things. NEW CORN FOR PIGS. Useful Fattening Feed If Added to the Ration Gradually. With proper judgment considerable use can be made of new corn in fattening the early pigs save the Katsuari Farmer. As the pastures begin to grow she new corn that is beginning to dent may be cut and given to the pigs. Care must be taken that they be come accustomed to this new corn gradually. By cutting the new corn, stalk and all, a considerable portion of the green leaves and inner parts will be eaten. As the corn becomes more mature and the ration increases the hogs will eat less and less of the fodder until they are on practically a full feed of corn. It is seldom 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. The balanced ration will yield the largest gains and almost invariably the cheapest gains. Alfalfa pasture or good, bright alfalfa hay of the fourth or fifth cutting supplied to fattening hogs will be a very efficient and economical means of balancing the corn ration. It supplies the protein, which is deficient in corn, and gives variety to the ration. Soy beans, where available, will serve the same purpose, given as a fifth part of the ration. Any feed, if rich in digestible protein, may be used with profit unless too high in price. The latest feeding stuff to be used for this purpose is the packing house by product called "tankage" or "meat meal." This highly nitrogenous product, while high in price, is so rich in protein that only a small amount is required. It has been successfully and profitably fed by so many experiment stations and practical men that there can be no doubt as to its value. To a fattening hog of 150 pounds weight one half pound of tankage daily is sufficient. Care must be taken that there is sufficient trough room for each hog to receive its proper allowance. While corn is the chief grain for fattening hogs, almost any of the cereals may be used. Kaffir corn is very similar in composition and if ground and properly balanced gives results very nearly as good as corn. Wheat is fully the equal of corn, pound for pound—in fact, hogs 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. Barley is not relished quite so well by hogs as corn, but can be used as a fattening grain. For breeding stock it is better than corn. Cottonseed meal, although one of our richest feeds, is never safe for hogs, as far as we know at present, it may be fed for limited periods and in small quantities with good results. --- Swine Succumb to Sunstroke. Swine Succumb to Sunstroke. Swine should be fed plenty of green food in order to keep their digestive tracts in the host condition. They should be supplied with plenty of pure cold water and an abundance of shade and a sanitary wishing place. Put hogs are extremely susceptible to sunstroke, as they cannot perish freely and have their body temperature reduced by the evaporation of the persecution as on the horse. An excellent plan is to frequently swab the hogs' bodies with water to keep them cool. A hog postulated by the heat should be conveyed to a shelter place, where cool water should be poured in 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 should be reason that the cow cannot give milk unless she has plenty of water to drink. Now, if this water is warm like that standing in a pool or a water trough, she will not like it so well and will not drink enough of it to make her milk flow well.

If the Creasys, Willions, Mc Daniels, Millers, Robbinsons, Emmersons and Boyds of twenty-five years ago, who went to the Associations at a sacrifice and individual cost, besides walking there. Some came in dust covered, collarless hickory shirts, jeans pants, bandana handkerchiefs; cardines, cheese and crackers, and fresh spring water were their sumptuous meals It was an honor then; and the ouse was honored. If they were accorded a place for night out of the weather, and some hot coffee or tea and bread and meatgravy for breakfast they did not complain. They came to represent the church and meet the brethren, and to sing, pray and preach, and to serve the Master who said take neither purse nor scip, nor two costs, the workman is worthy of his hire. If these men could come to a convention now, where the others have a special table to dine at, a table from the common people, and then stand and watch the finance and business committees make their allowances, janitors, ushers, reporters, chol lectors, auditors, historians, auto and carriage rides, private stationery, at the expense of the mission work. A donation of $30 or $40 for the three days service of president of convention, and from $10 to $25 for the moderator of the district association to go to the national meeting. And the same for the women officers of the women's work. If those old have been preachers and women could see the change and trend of things now. All the monies paid, $1,400 and $18,000, and no appropriation made for the publishing boards, periodicals, ministerial educational work, farm work, orphans and widows, building of missions, maintaining of missions, missionary pastors and institute fields, and foreign mission work is very magnificently provided for. They would openly condemn the affairs now. And call upon Esings, Fairfax Banks, Lov. Teals, Smothers, Skim ers, Jackson, Fishbucks, Wilson McNeile, Smothers, Bowren, Mon roce, Patterson, VanLuce, Cople lands, Ramies, Richies and Smith, Keths, Woods, Martina, Rays, and ask what me neth this lowing, bleat ing and braying I hear! I Sam, 15, 14 0. we have fine talent and take fine conventional pictures,and make a fine showing for numbers and dress and airs and evtravagance. But a none-religious or semi-religious program. Universalism, unitarianism, liberalism, called progressiveness or higher criticism, pantheism, some deism and a plenty pulpit agnosticism, ministerial infidelity. We are afraid of high walls, fortresses peaks and towers and a Baptist name so we call it Sunflower, Old Folks Home, Home for the Aged Everybody else can call everything by the denominational name. A saloon or pool hall--why call it Culture Club when its a dive or saloon? Afraid the public, county and state will not help? Fourteen Baptists afraid to be called by their name. Every other society is proud of its founder and name and doctrine. Much of the ludicrousness in the state and national meetings comes from aping after secular organizations. Think of an agent going to a city or a town and getting the business men to give so much to have the convention decid on coming to the city. Good pay for a business agent. Railroads and all are pulled for rates. B make no complaint of render- ing to Caesar, the secretaries, what is due them. But why add offices at the expense of the more needed work? Some men have served the people all the year for less than some of the officials get at an annu- al meeting for a donation. If the convention donates to any one it should be to some half fed, half clothed, half dead mission pastor or missionary. My church and all the rest of the churches that pay from 440 up to $100 a month can donate to their own pastors I think earling flowers because they are plentiful; or giving money that should go to the heathen and slam workers is wicked. That is too much like the officials that meet the brewery wagons going and coming, full and empty, and wanting the governor to tell where the law is violated at. Or a blind man trying to see the moon If the monies collected for the home and foreign fields went there instead of into an American bank with a hole there would be less suffering among the missionaries and more christianizing done. My church, the church I pastor, never sent money for those things and I could not stand it. Robbers and thugs, highwaymen and ice box thieves demand a square deal. Politicians and grafters right for fair play and statesmen sometimes grow tired of buncoing the people and squeal; why not Christian men? I don't want to lead the convention work; I want fair play for the Stewards, Watson, Wilson going, VanLue and others Send men and not boys, women and not gals instead to the convention at Topeks.

KANSAS CITY, MO Bell Phone West 66 Farm and Garden LUXURY FOR LIVE STOCK. Fine Dairy Herd Has Concrete Barn Both Sanitary and Beautiful. The new live stock born on Old Forge farm, in eastern Pennsylvania, is a fine example of farm architecture, as shown by the accompanying illustration from the country gentleman. It includes all modern equipment and sanitary provisions. This structure is 112 feet in length, 60 feet wide and 40 feet to the caves. It has a hip roof, which gives additional new space and adds to its appearance. The stable is built with walls and floor of concrete and is entirely given over to the stables for the cows. A feeding nile seven feet wide runs through the center, and a row of swinging stallions is placed on each side of this. Each stall is equipped with a feed box and a covered water trough, which has a swinging lid that the cows have learned to A BREAL UP TO DATE BARN. raise when they need water. Water is forced into each trough through a pipe so that the supply is always fresh. There is a wide alley at the rear of each row of stalls, with gutters which may be flushed when the stable is cleaned. The building is well lighted and ventilated with sixteen windows on each side and with ventilator flues of wood opening at the ridge of the roof. As a consequence the building is cool in summer and warm in winter, and the air is pure at all times. At the front end of the barn are the milk cooling and separator rooms, which are entirely separate from the stable. Two large silos, each with a capacity of thirty tons, stand at the end of the stable. On this farm green corn and the refuse of the canning factory, which includes pea shells, vines, corn cobs and husks, and so on, are put up for silage. This makes a very acid mixture, but the cows eat it with great relish. City a Spoiler For Country Life. In one of the many fresh air homes for the poor children of the great cities about seventy five tenement youngsters are taken every two weeks during the summer and given an opportunity to recuperate in the puro air and on the good food furnished at the home. But many are not at all satisfied. Revenely one of the fresh air youngsters was found crying in bed. He was homeshk for the city and complained that he hadn't seen a fight since he had been in the country. Another homeshk city walt wafted because he hadn't seen any "cops" and another because it was so quiet he "couldn't hear anything but crickets." These children unconsciously expressed the power of social environment and the difficulty of breaking its bonds. Many have wondered why thousands of women and girls tell at starvation wages in cities when there is plenty of work and a good living for them in the country. These children tell us why A Remarkable Hsn. The humble but helpful hen has been held up to us of late as the greatest wealth producer of the country—the autumn provider of health, support and breakfast. It has remained for New York to present this simple moulded but industrious friend of the farmer in the role of a hired hand. Finding her master—we hate to say owner busy building a chicken coop presumably for her occupancy—Biddy waited about until the man in the case dropped a nail. Turning to pick it up, he found that Biddy had already forestalled him and was standing by the coop with the nail in her bill, held ready for driving. Then forth until the homely, necessary task was done man and hen worked in profitable and pleasant alliance. This is all true, too, because it was "printed in the paper." Artichokes For Heap. Artichokes and pumpkins are valuable sources of a vegetable feed supply for winter. The former can be grown on hills and old cornery, which would not otherwise be utilized, and in the late fall the hogs can be turned in to do their own harvesting until the ground is frozen. Pumpkins are of value in that they may be easily stored until midwinter and feel what the weather does not permit running out of doors on the what or crye fields. Green Stuff Best For Cows. The best dalryman are now feeding either village or some green soiling crops every day in the year, and they find this class of feed cheaper and better than any other kind. Some dry feed should, of course, go along with the green feed. IOLA, KANS. The surprise party given in honor of Mrs. J. W. Gordon by her husband, Rev. J. W. Gordon, was attended by a large crowd, there being nearly 100 persons in attendance. A splendid program managed by Mrs. W. O. Pippins was rendered for the occasion.
