The Rocky Mountain News, one of the country's leading and most influential duties in a recent issue took a fall out of Cole Please, South Carolina's insane governor. The News says: "That the governor of South Carolina should take a disgraceful display of himself and so far as he could of South Carolina, is really not to be wondered at. Both the voters of that state and its legislators have been electing governors and United States senators because of their hatred of the Negro, and their willingness to justify a Negro's lynching whenever he is seriously charged with an attack upon a white woman. The Hon. Cole Please, the governor in question, has had before him for a long time now examples of how South Carolina regards the lynching of Negroes, in that state's representation in the national congress. Particularly has he had before him a senator of that state boasting, both in lectures throughout the North and from his seat in the United States senate, of the lawless way in which objectional Negroes were disposed of down there, not only such as assaulted white women, but those who assumed the right to vote—one of the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution of their country. "That senator has frequently boasted that elections were commenced by the firing of cannon in the morning to notify the Negroes that it was election day, by which he meant the Negroes received notice that they must not appear at the polls. "In the course of his remarks when he first addressed the convention of governors, Governor Lee declared that had Jack Johnson lived in South Carolina he would have been lynched long ago and without executive interference. "He was not content with notting that concrete instance of a lynching that he would approve of, but when he was mildly asked by one of his brother governors whether, in taking the office, he did not swear to uphold and protect the constitution of South Carolina, he promptly replied that 'when the constitution came between him and what he called his duty'—in other words, if the constitution required the punishment of those who lynched a Negro because he had assaulted a white woman, 'Then to hell with the constitution.' "The South Carolina governor did place one limitation upon the enforcement of lynch law. His statement was: 'All that is needed is that they get the right man, and they who get him will neither need or receive a trial.' "Whether there was any saving salt in the proviso that when they got the 'right' man they might lynch him with impunity, cannot be definitely known by those who do not personally know the Hon. Cole Please. The probability is it was a mere figure of speech; for who ever heard of the lyncher of a Negro in South Carolina being punished for the crime? It was simply a slight concession by the Hon. Please to the sentiment against lynching, even of Negroes, that exists in every state except South Carolina "To be sure, South Carolinians feel that they have cause for deep resentment against Negroes, individually and as a body. Following the war there was a quarter of a century of corruption and lawlessness and chaotic rule by ignorant Negroes and white carpet baggers, by crooked corporation interests and political feudists. But, according to these lynching chantions of the white race, that condition has been wiped out for the last quarter of a century, and the native white population have been in absolute and unquestioned control of the state ever since. "It was very litting, indeed, that m 5 - 29 TOPEKA PLAINDEALER the governor of Virginia, that grand old, historic, commonwealth of the south, will have introduced the resolution which was unanimously adopted, except for the vote of the H. blase, which denounced mob rule and lynching for crimes, and asserted that the humblest whatever his color was entitled to the protection guaranteed by the constitution. "The sooner South Carolina gets into line with the civilization of the county, the sooner it drives its Cole Please into deserved oblivion. The sooner it retires from congress every man who trusts of, and glories in, Lynch law as a remedy for crime, the sooner will it win and hold the respect which its best citizenship would have earned for it had not the Blesses and and the Tillmans, and others like them, succeeded in holding themselves at the surface, and palming themselves off as representatives of the best sentiment of the state." JOHN BROWNS SON DIES! Akton, O, Dec. 25—Jason Brown, 90 years, old, second son of John Brown, famous as the leader of the raid on Harper's, Ferry at the outbreak of the Civil war, died at his home here last night. He was actively engaged in recruiting and enlisting a company of Negroes from among those smuggled into Canada by the "underground railroad" when the Harper's Ferry incident occurred. A younger brother, Salmon Brown, lives at Portland, Oregon. --- Down in Georgia, Where Liquor is at a Premium, Men Battle to Death! Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 25. - Two white men were injured, one fatally, and several Negroes hurt in a clash here today between two dozen members of the two races. Ed Tumblin, boiler-maker, who went to the rescue of a companion engaged in a fight with a Negro, is not likely to live. He suffered several cuts in the back and legs. Emmet Howe, tinsmith, was cut in the back and will recover. Witnesses told the police, who arrived after the white men had driven off the Negroes, that the trouble was started over an attempt of a white man to buy "bootleg" whisky from a colored man. General Wood Says Lack of Military Training is Cause—America Unprepared for War. Philadelphia, Dec. 8.—Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army, last night at the 163rd annual dinner of the St. Andrew's society of Philadelphia, said the United States is the most lawless nation in the world because its citizens lack military training. He again asserted that the United States is unprepared for war and is not in a position to defend itself against an attack of a first-class world power. "Five times as many men commit murder in the United States as in England," said General Wood, "and eight times as many as in Switzerland, where military service is demanded of every citizen. Because of this lack of military training there is not bred in the people a respect of law. "We do not want a standing army, but we must perfect some system of short entitlement for every able-bodied citizen, to prepare him to take his place in the army and to train him to obey the law. "We have never had a war with a first-class power. I am not impugning our capacity, but no unprepared nation can successfully fight a million citizens trained to military tactics without serious danger and losses." LANCHED FOR A TRIVIALITY! "Friends of Governor Please" Carry Out His Explosive Policies. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 21 - Attested because he refused to pay a note, and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER 27, 1912. WILL KANSAS PASS JIM CROW LAWS? There is no mad rush of black man and white women to the matrimonial alter out here in educated Kansas, yet there is much talk going the rounds concerning "Jim Crow" legislation and the separation of the schools. For the benefit of a few who may harbour such thoughts, we desire to set them right. Kansas was baptized in blood that not only the colored man should enjoy the rights of a free man, but the white as well. Men of both races went to the front and fought down the enactment of slavery—the colored man for his freedom and the poor white man that he might get a home and earn a livelihood for his family. Both made an equal sacrifice, and why give this same man any special privileges over the black by the enactment of laws that would humiliate one and exalt the other. Martyrs like John Brown to stamp out this evil gave his life. Kansas was allotted to the people—no distinction of races being mentioned. School houses were erected for the education of the people, and there was no discrimination until the Blesses, Tullmans, Vardamans and other renegades from Dixie's swamps invaded Kansas to regain what they lost by the sword. They have spread their poisonous venom and now we are confronted with this hydro-headed monster at every turn of the road. We want to serve notice or those who are crying for such laws that the sons of the man who died for the privileges they are now enjoying will not suffer them to be swept away without a conflict. In as will never be like Mississippi South Carolina, Louisiana and a few and other Southern state, who have Jim Crowed and disfranchised the colored man. No! No! in thousand times NO!! All such agitation breeds race trouble and contests, and as such things are unknown in Kansas, it should be stamped out by the same, honest, thinking men and women of the state. The black man is educated and a good citizen and he will bow to none but the creator of all things. We cannot see where any white man gets the idea that he must continue to pass special legislation for his brother in black. If the whites lived forever and the blacks were the only human beings that died, it would prove the white man's superiority, but as all come, act and the alike, there is no reason for one man to bow down to another. We believe the colored man is entitled to at least as much consideration in Kansas as the Dago, the greazy Mexican, the Blanket Indian, the Chinaman or the Japanese. He contributed to the country's welfare when these foreignors were in their native heath. Why comes all of this devilish agitation at this late date? No decent, self-respecting white man of reason, fairness, culture and refinement would continue to harp on the Negro question. It is only the class who are afraid to cope with them. We place the teachings of no living man above those of the Bible, which says: "Marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Hebrew 15:1. Color, race, or nations are not mentioned in the above, but we sup- their debts," and signed: "Friends of Governor Blease." So far as known the Negro's only offense was his refusal to pay the note, failure of consideration being alleged at the reason for his refusal. The first information that reached Columbia came in the shape of a telegram to Governor Blease from the magistrate at Norway, stating that a crowd had broken into the guardhouse Intermarriage. placed in jail at Norway in Orangenburg county, Henry Pitts, a Negro, was taken from the prison Sunday morning by a mob and shot to death. The lynchers rode into town before dawn, stormed the jail, secured the prisoner, and, taking him a short distance from town, shot him to pieces. The lynchers left a note pinney to the body saying; "Negines must pay pose the agitator plea the enslave dove Christ or any of his things. The only race that has violated the marriage law of God in America is the white man. He deified the bed of his slave when he drove the man out and got into himself with the black woman. He and his slave treated children by the same woman. Now this same fellow is trying to pass separate marriage laws only between the whites and blacks, letting in every scavenger of every race under the son to marry into their families. You cannot blame some of the good American heroes for going abroad looking for pure blood and titles. The American white man has so amalgamated the race with the Indian, Negro in fact every being that he could not mar, that the girls are forced to seek mates, in other lands. Now because once in a while some colored man happens to marry a white woman, then a great stranger black laws is kicked up, when in fact this man of color is showing far more respect for the white woman than the man of her own blood are showing to the colored women by marrying her instead of living in open adultery as does the white man in the South today. He passed these separate marriage laws, so that he could take advantage of the colored woman and bluff the colored man from the white woman. At this very day in the South, the white man makes no bones of going to a colored woman's house and driving away any make member of the race who happens to be found there because they have the law and courts so fixed that they will get a decision on anything they desire. The most of this agitation in the North is done by a class, of whites whose relatives have married some colored man. What is needed is good strong laws against woman lovers and adulterers. We are compelled to say that that are too many low-bred white men in this country for the perpetuation of the good of the people who want cleanliness to rule. Now let all Kansas raise up in her might and as one people tell this wild eyed creature of circumstances to hell! So far shalt thou go and no further, that we need no such laws and will not tolerate them. We have gone on for more than fifty years without them and we can go fifty more. The Kansas, colored man is too well cultured and educated to be compared with the Blessed, Vardamany Tillman kind. We need no segregation laws, as the people of Kansas have always been able to marry to suit themselves, and mixed marriages are almost unknown here. The day Kansas passes such a law her men acknowledge the weakness of her women. We know the colored women are strong and can be trusted and we believe the same of the white women. The Southern white man has done so much harm that he fears that his women will forsake him because he has forsaken them for the colored women. There must be a day of reconing somewhere and the Southern white man is responsible. It is too late to draw racial lines after they have been broken in a way that it is hard to tell one from the other. We think the white man should recognize his own or at least his half of the colored individuals and not legalize against that half and lynched a Negro who had been locked up for a trivial offense. B. Y. P. L. ORGANIZATION. the various H I Y U's of Kanea city, Kansas, met Thursday evening sept 20th, at the Metropolitan Baptist church in answer to an appeal sent out by their District Correspond- 4 Price $1.50 Per Year. r. the purpose of electing an organization in the merit of the many city unions. It is allied in the organization "Wyandotte County B. Y. P. U." and will be a main branch of the Kaw Valley District B. Y. P. U. Convention. The sole object of the movement is to better develop, systematize, and extend the work of the local unions throughout Wyandotte county, and adjacent territory; to help in a general way the work of all Baptist bodies in executing the Great Commission; to increase the membership and duties of the local unions connected therewith and to advance the educational work of the local unions; therefore, with such a foundation to work upon it is the general belief that the organization will be the means of strengthening all unions involved in all phases and an aid to the Baptist work in general in the spread of the gospel. This movement was endorsed by the Kaw Valley B. Y. P. U. Executive Board at their first quarterly meeting of 1911 held in the city of Topeka, Nov. 9, also it was adopted at the annual meeting of the convention held in Topeka last August through the recommendations of the District President, Miss Mattie L. Bradshaw and the report of the corresponding secretary, Rev. I T Mack, hence its authorityship is unquestionable The movement is showing much enthusiasm and is reinforced by a strong, substantial constitution. It is hoped that every union in Wyandotte county will be effected so as to take on new life through the workings of this organization. Let no one think that the organization is separate and distinct from our own district, state and national work; but as members of and under the directions of and in connection with these higher bodies, this movement was organized to better systematize and build up the work in this part of the state for in union there is strength. Every B. Y. P. U. in the county of Wyandotte is asked to come into the organization because of the spiritual advantages which it affords and the good that can be done in developing the work of that church and aiding them in their work of saving the young people. Among the few present at the organization were: Hon. C Patterson, treasurer K. V district as association, Rev R. W Lowe, ex-district organizer of unions in the state of Illinois, Mrs. A Mack, formerly of Lawrence, Mr. G M Durden, Mrs. Alice Rhoam, Mr. H Crockett, of First Baptist, Mrs. L. A Wilson, member of executive board K V, W. H. & F. M., Mr. Smith, Mrs. L. A. Washington, of Metropolitan Baptist church and Rev. S. W Shannon. The following officers were elected to serve semi-annually: President Rev. Isaac Mack of Metropolitan; V-President Miss P. W. Moore of First Baptist; Recording Secretary Mr. Wm McQuay; Corresponding Secretary Miss Lenora M Jenkins, First Baptist; Treasurer Mrs. Fanny Greene, of King Solomon; Pianist Mrs. M. Crockett of First Baptist; Official reporter Miss Maggie Parker of King Solomon. These officers were installed on the afternoon of the fourth Sunday which is the regular monthly meeting date in November at the Zion Baptist church by the Rev. E. Arlington Wilson. A very appropriate program was rendered Read the Plaindealer and got all the news first hand The "Jolly R." club gave a banquet at the Masoum hall on Friday night of last week.

Some Progressives are setting up claims for a wonderful piece of honest work in organizing a third term or Progressive party in Kansas. If these same fellows had been half as honest as the common horse thief they would have done that very thing before the election. Of course they are now doing the right thing, and only some dishonest shyster who is wanting an office thinks otherwise Sheffield Ingalls, who escaped the slaughter in the recent election just because he was the son of an illustrious kansas, thinks that he is an honest man in politics, and boasts of it, but if claiming one thing and doing another is honest, then the governor ought to get busy and follow the example of the governor of Arkansas and pardon all the convicts in the state penitentiary, for they are about as honest as any such double-dealing crook as will work in one harness to get the goods to deliver to the enemy. Now that the Democrats have control of the state legislature there is the revival of the talk of "Jim Crow" laws. The decent people of Kansas do not want any such laws and the Democratic party is not going to satisfy the wishes of a few mossback whilps who crave such things. Only people who would rather violate the law than respect it are in the class that desire such nefarious laws on our statute books. But there are several hundred of the Bull Moose brand of insurgents who would like to see the Democrats do some foolish thing on this line for the purpose getting revenge on the colored brother for his failure to stand by them in their attempt of steal into office on the Republican ticket when supporting the nominees and principles of another and distinct party. The only "Jim Crow" laws we have in Kansas were put upon the statute books since the reign of Stubbs and his gang of cutthroat shysters. But we have put them out of the running now and we may rest assured that the Democrats are not going to treat us as shabbily as the gang now defunct. Some people can turn figures in any old to suit their convenience, and some of Arthur Capper's friends are turning and twisting figures in a vain endeavor to show that Capper was the choice of the Kansas voters for the high office of governor of this great state, pointing out that he got more votes than Roosevelt or Taft, or even Stubbs, but they seem to have forgotten that Capper was not running against any of these men, but against Senator George H. Hodges, and by the count of the various election boards, which were composed of men friendly to the machine which created them and gave them the right to count the ballots. Capper was deceived to be low man. If there had been the least chance to steal the election Mr. Hodges would never have been given the certificate of election. The man opposed to the straddling efforts of some of the candidates in the recent election were directly responsible for the inability of the Capper-White Stubba gang to interfere with the work of the election boards. All people in Kansas are not knocked and these shysters will live long enough to discover this fact. INTERESTING RACE NEWS. A new printing plant has been opened in Tolindo, O., by Messrs. E. H.

"JIM CROW" LEGISLATION. in both Missouri and Kansas the Democrats are preparing to introduce "Jim Crow" bills in the state legislatures, which they control. Already some of the Democratic politicians have begun apologize and to discount the criticism which they feel will follow this action "Jim Crow" legislation has always been a delicate proposition, but there is no good reason why it should be so regarded. Legal discrimination against Negroes is either good or bad, and it has been historic. Democratic policy to resent the established rights of the Negro race. All that has kept the various border states from following the example of their more southern neighbors and enacting "Jim Crow" legislation long ago was the Republican party, and the Negroes as a class have appreciated this fact. Put of recent years thousands of Negroes in Missouri and Kansas have refused to support the Republican party. Many of them voted for the Democratic candidates and some went back. Moore at the recent election. They seem to have lost a lot of their obligation to the party that emerged pated the race from slavery and has been thus tried and true friend for half a century. The best thing that the Democrats could do, if they take any steps in this direction, would be to make the issue of "Jim Crow" legislation hold and frankly. No doubt a majority of the members of the Democratic party in Missouri and Kansas favor such legislation, and there may be Republicans who feel the same way about it. Certainly the matter is of enough importance to be dealt with, if at all, honestly and on its merits. The southern states as a rule have restricted the privileges of the Negroes in their use of street cars, railway trains and in other ways. One may question the justice of such legislation but not the frankness of those who enacted it. There are doublestimes when the need of "Jim Crow" laws seems apparent. Negro now does on street cars may not be more obnoxious than white nowhes, yet in some circumstances there are more of them and a Negro now takes on the character of a race conflict. Of course, "Jim Crow" legislation is not now and probably never will be Republican doctrine, but when the Newcomers themselves are targeted away from the party that has done so much for them they can carefully expect that party to continue and unite to fight their battle for them the treatment of "Jim Crow" laws in Missouri and Kansas would certainly be unanimous and hard-slewed, though and of a special Negro and such law would not be approved by a state many white people, but if the forms are done on county, then they will all agree to a plan and work to issue fair and downward laws for the general The journal seems to think that the colored people deserve to be this insulted in Kansas because they dare to exercise their propritives by freeing in bitter and vote for whom the place. For several years in Kansas there has been no Republican party, the name but not the man or principles. But now that this young herd of rangers, bossed by the clan of Stubbs, Bristow and Bill White, have gotten out of the way the Republicans will now come unto their own and the colored brother will not fare so badly, and many who have been driven away from the fold will be found at home, again if the Democrats turn their offer aside and go ahead with the mossback ideas of the South. The Democrats love their present victory to the colored people and if we are kicked for our generous offer to turn the devil out simply for the purpose of trying the other fellow they will see that there is another day coming by and by NO NEED FOR LP From the State Journal: "What's the necessity of 'Jim Crow' legislation in Kansas? Generally speaking, the Negroes here are a well-behaved lot. The great majority of them are hard-working, industrious, decent folk who attend strictly to their own business. There are undesirable Negroes in the state, as a matter of course. But there are also some undesirable white men." This is pure condensed gospelified truth and many are there in Kansas who will accept it as such. There is no more need for "Jim Crow" legislation in Kansas than there is for the need of a separate sun to shine on each of the races or for the rain to fall in different kinds for the two. On the quiet there has been going on a discussion as to the feasibility of eliminating the Negro troops from the United States army, and in the investigation the following statement was made by one of the officers who has seen service for twenty-two years in both the colored and white regiments: "I have served 11 years with Negro troops and 11 years with white troops. I have found the Negroes the latter behaved, the more amenable to discipline and more inclined to be interested in their work as soldiers." This is saying a whole lot for colored soldiers and we are inclined to believe that if Roosevelt had any say about the matter he would call the other making such a statement that short and agly word. But this statement is made by Major E. L. Goose now commanding two battalions of the famous 22th Infantry, a part of watch Col Roosevelt characterized as the last scrapes of the earth. But it is possible that Col Roosevelt will never again get a chance to show how far he can carry慷itude, for it was these very men who saved him from sure death and destruction at San Juan.

It has been demonstrated on many occasions in the Civil War and since, that the Negro makes a brave and faithful soldier and there is no tenable reason why he should be thus discriminated against.

One sen son when only about twelve I and my brother, two years younger, earned $20 one season milking cows for a neighbor at a jenny a cow. But I do not claim to know all about milking even now. A few things I have learned, however Perhaps they may be helpful to some one else, says the writer of a letter to the town Homestead. One is it is a good plan not to let one's finger nails grow too long. Most cows are very sensitive on this subject. Often when you see a cow step around unusually the only reason is that the nails of the milker are cutting into her teeth. Right in the same line with this is the habit some men have of setting their finer ends against the side of the text when pressing the milk out. This harbs some cows too. Let the C MILKING THAT digest to us that against the side of the teat as possible. It is just as easy to milk that way as any and far more agreeable to the cow. Some more have a way of letting down on the teats of the cow they are milking every time they linger out a stream. This is not at all necessary in fact, the best milker will be the one who holds his hands the most nearly in the same position relative to the teat and presses steadily and rhythmically on the teat. Nothing is gained by licking. Rather the cow is made unfortable, and perhaps her bug may be permanently deformed. One of the nithiest habits of a man ever contracted is that of writing the teats of the cow he is milking with milk is late he begins. This, he families mutates the process of milking easier. I have seen the hands of milkers which hardly rocked with the disobedient milk as it oozed between their fingers. The man who does this is not a fit hand for work. More loss of the foul liquid will get into the pit and help to make the milk insatiable. Some cows do not hold out all always there will be some in which strong enough in the tools to hold them without resort to much use but it as this I usually three weeks ought always to be in the total of every milkerate fatters, jointness and kindness TO BECOME A WISE FARMER How to Test Your Soil Some of the simple of soil free from roots and grass and put it in a glass insert two strips of blue litmus paper in the soak that they are half covered. Then soil pure water very carefully until the soil is thoroughly saturated. After the test has stood for several minutes the paper is removed and almost thoroughly. If that portion of it which was in contact with the soil has become red, then the soil is acid and would be benefited by liming. The litmus paper may be bought at almost any drug store - town Circular Dip Your Paste Before Setting. Dip Your Posts Before Setting. A circular of the Missouri experiment station says Thoroughly seasoned posts will last much longer than those that are set green. Good results have been obtained by charging the ends of the posts over an open fire. The posts must be thoroughly seasoned to prevent splitting or checking, and the charring must extend at least six inches above the surface of the ground when the post is set. Dipping the post some protective substance like for protection or corrosive will help keep out the moisture and will also protect the entrance of fungi.

Farm Journal. FOOL THE KICKING COW. Simple Devices That Prevent Her From Putting Her Foot Into Milk Paul. The illustration herewith is a simple device to keep a cow from kicking. It consists of two pieces of rope about four and one half feet long and a piece of an old fork handle across the cow's back. Insert an eyebolt in the floor to the left of the cow about halfway up toward the feed box, then fasten your piece of rope in this ting and to the fork handle just about the height of the cow's back. Fix the other side in like manner, excepting that the eyebolt be put farther back so as to al- 3 low room for milking operations. This apparatus is left fastened on the left hand side and thrown back across the partition when not in use. Just before making the cow is fastened in the ston hibon, and this is thrown across and fastened in the ring on the tight hand side. This is especially good for the cow that is in the habit of putting her foot in the milk pail. She cannot raise her foot without being her back somewhat, which this prevents. And if she persists in doing this track tighten up the rope on the tight hand side. The object in listening it to the floor is that it gives her a certain amount of freedom, and if she moves backward and forward it tightens. After a time the cow gets accustomed to this, and if it is simply laid across her back she will not move a foot. I have used this in a number of bad cases and found it works to perfection. says a correspondent of the American Agriculturist. FARM BUTTERMAKING. No Reason Why It Should Not Beat Ceremony Product in Price. Creamery Product in Price. Butter made from a single herd of cows in a small dairy located on the farm, says a Washington state butler, should command the highest price of any butter on the market The first essential in making good butter is good cream. To get this simply means to take ordinary precautions regarding clean cows and horn, clean attendants and clean intensils and then cooling the cream at once after separating, either by running it over a cooler or by setting it in running cold water and stirring. Cream should not be stored with any substance having an amount of cream churns hard and gives a flat taste. To sour or show the cream, first, heat it to about 70 degrees. Use a thicker monometer and at it stand until it has a mild bit distantly cold taste, or second, add some sour milk or butter milk (stirred to suit the ripening, at the same time hot), at 70 degrees. The best cream for churning it that which tests about 10 per cent fat after starter has been added. The temperature at which the organism should be contained depends on the size of the glob. hardness of fat glob plus amount of fat in the soil and of feed the cow is certain and the cannot be determined except to tell. Thirty five degrees may be placed on one farm and 60 degrees on the one adjoining. A good rule to low is to have the but for more about the size of wheat kernels in about thirty or forty minutes. While the granules are about the size of wheat the buttermilk should be drained, the granules washed and the salt added. Then they are worked together, only enough to distribute the salt evenly. When the churn is not stopped until the granules become large some of the buttermilk is incased, and it makes butter of poor keeping quality. Mottles in the butter are caused by an uneven distribution of salt in the presence of buttermilk. --- If we use but one crop on the land and cultivate it clean all the time the soil will quickly be robbed of its humus. Therefore we must follow a proper rotation in order to supply humus without which we can do little. Some men have never discovered this fact, however. --- Warning. The Florists' exchange reports the death of a child in Oregon from eating the berries of the Virginia creeper, Amelopelia quinquefolia, which had not previously been regarded as poisonous. Though the both sometimes used cautiously in medicine, appears to possess poisonous properties. Saving Many Steps.

Russell of the Second Baptist church for several days, but left Tuesday morning of last week for Poplar Bluffs. Rev. H. Chandler, pastor of the A. M. E. church, and his members made great efforts to make their Christmas tree a success and the efforts were commenced with success. The letters of the Eastern Star gave a very interesting entertainment at the Mission hall in Monday evening of last week known as the "Old Marble Convention." Christmas week was a busy week with at the se and Baptist church as Rev. W. W Russell believes in keeping his members busy. On the 21st was the Christmas tree for the Sunday school in connection with an entertainment, and on the 20th Rev. Curtis I Moore gave a moving picture show on the stinking of the Trance and on the 27th the convoy of "Hard Times." The people of Upper Marbury seem to have the most chukkis on this side of the country. At the State Poultry show at Springfield, the Rev. W. W. Russell was first prize on ham and cookerd, and Prof. Chas Lamb of the State Normal school, won second and third on cookerd. Rev. W. W. Russell, seems to be in quite demand at state of church work. He has recently been elected a member of the Missouri State Museum Board; re-elected a member of the Missouri State Poultry association, and a member of the National Breeders Association. The U B F a t y S M F memorial sermon delivered at the A M H church by Pastor J H Chanb), is said to have been one of the finest and most forceful sermons ever delivered in this city by a colored minister.

C. C. BOWSFIELD ```markdown ``` the importance of the soil we cultivated on many of the prairies is one of the things it is useful to play into the ground and plant it. It draws us back to seeing the soil. It also shows how good it is in the soil and in many his time to use and nourish the soil before the earth was hard. It is much better and more fertile than the ground and it has lost the nutrients it produces by long exposure to the elements. It needs to soil in compost heap for several months if it is going into the ground immediately before seeding it or vegetable. It is best to deviate the fertilizer produced from the poultry house entirely to the garden, while that coming from the live stock stables may properly go to the table. Not only is poultry house fertilizer the most valuable that the farm produces, but it is free from weeds, and this is a strong point in its favor. Much of the minute which farmers use, especially that handled from town is full of the seeds of various weeds; the growth of which causes a great deal of work troubles damaging field crops. He who farms just a little bet for that old list won't be on the way toward the perfect way of doing things on the farm. SHEEP IMPROVE THE SOIL. Will Help Greatly to Solve Problem of Maintaining Fertility. The one most important problem in this country is that maintaining soil fertility and taking everything into consideration the sheep is about the most valuable of all the farm industries as a means of keeping up the fertility power of the fields. No better method is known than sheep husbandry. I have method that where we see a farm where sheep have been kept for a number of years you will find the soil in an excellent state of fertility so it can produce. 101 ANIMAL WORK AND DOG HEALTH" correspondent to I inform the said testing to that these works before shops in nature is appealed to a soldier.

Its Flavor Wins Favor 1 Farm and Garden DOES SHELTER PAY? Rechening the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper photos undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of number and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies The average lot more farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and bugles. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has nearer $1,500 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are included to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a 20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. The hundred dollars will cost in first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will cost a shed sufficiently large to house in a very safe factory manner $1000 to $1200 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed and its use will require somepling up of machinery. "This however you can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP.
