THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Fifteenth r. No. 2. A JUST LAW THE IDEAL Rev. Fishback Tells the Ministerial Union Too Many Stututes Can Be Twisted...Other Notes of Interest. "A law which does not condone evil in any class of persons, but deals alike with violators whether they live in a mansion or in a log cabin is worthy of respect, and is a menace to the evil door. Any law which cannot be twisted in order to favor the 'man higher up' is a menace to the trusts and combinations which seek to monopolize trade and shut out competition. There are some legislative enactments called laws void of the divine idea of justice and equity which are a menace to good government. Any law made by the strong in order to oppress the weak is a menace to good government." In the above words, the Rev. C. G. Fishback, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, revealed to the members of the Topeka Ministerial union Monday morning the attitude which the members of the colored people take toward law and law-abiding citizens. His subject was "The Menace of Law." A lively discussion followed the address. "Any law that is destructive of a man's God given rights or discriminative on account of color or condition is a menace. Any law which is too weak to bring to justice criminals of any class or any number is a menace and furnishes food for anarchy, for the spirit that prompts a mob to disrespect the law is the same spirit that fired the bullet at ex-President Roosevelt. If it allows the criminal to go unpunished today it will bring shame tomorrow. "We hail with delight the time when legislative bodies will be made up of men whose ideas of human rights will not be based on account of conditions but men whose hearts are right with God and right towards they fellowman. No man whose idea of justice and right is perverted should be allowed to have any part in the enactment of laws by which the people are to be governed." A BRISTOW PROPHLCY: The Leavenworth Times seems to turned to the prophetic. In a recent issue it had the following: "The Topoka Capital's Washington correspondent says that Senator Bristow 'has announced definitely that he is a Progressive,' meaning that he has renounced his allegiance to the Republican party. When the Senator returned to Washington he announced that he was in the "twilight zone" between the two parties. He appears to have found that an untenable position. That sort of a thing worked to some extent during last fall's campaign, but it will never work again. And so Bristow is no longer pretending to be a Republican. As a matter of fact he has not been a Republican for two or three years. On party matters he has acted with the Democrats oftener than he has with the Republicans. It is well that he has come out into the open and given Republicans to understand plainly that they owe him no allegiance. Mr. Bristow's public career will end March 4, 1915." FILIPINOS TO BE MADE FREE! President-Elect Sayn "We are to Deprive Our selves of the Philippine Islands an Our Frontier"—Carries Out Platform Pledges. From New York Evening Post: That Governor Wilson's trip to Staunton brought forth some memorable utterances, no newspaper reader will, we think, deny. His eloquence was at high water mark; the aroundings, the memories invoked by the trip to his birthplace, his generous reception, appear to have lent thrilling quality to his chief speech. But nothing he said was quite so stirring as this simple declaration: "The Philippine Islands are at present our frontier, but I hope we presently are to deprive ourselves of that frontier." It is his direct utterances in regard to the future of the Philippines, but, brief and simple as it is. it is of fat-teaching significance and importance. It is the beginning of his translation into specific terms of the pledges of his campaign and of his patty platform. It means that the whole power of the new administration will be thrown toward getting us out of the islands at the earliest possible day. W. N. & LINCOLN DAY CLUB! Big State-Wide Organization Will Celebrate February 12. The Kansas, Lincoln Day club will hold its thirteenth annual exercises on Feb. 12. The committee is preparing for a mammoth crowd of visitors. The club has not selected its principal speaker at this time. J. H. B. Taylor, chairman of the executive committee says that the committee will be called together in a few days and proceed to perfect arrangements for programme. Since women have been given the right of franchise, there has been considerable discussion as to selecting some leading club woman from the federation as the principal speaker. Mr. Taylor, the energetic committeeman says that he is receiving letters from all sections of the state asking for places on the program. The Lincoln Day club is the only organization of its kind in the Umtaj States that has made such a signal success. They have entertained some of the most distinguished men in America. Hon. W.W. Fisher, of Kansas City, Kansas, is president and Dr. W. W. Caldwell, of Atchison, is secretary. TROOPS PRAISED BY MAYOR! Famous Twenty-Fifth Infantry at Pt. George Wright, Near Spokane, Wash Praised in the Highest. Spokane, Wash, Jan. 3.—The famous Twenty-fifth Infantry, colored previous leaving I.T. George Wright, where they have been stationed for the past two years, left last Tuesday for the Hawaiian Islands, and were tendered a public reception before their departure. Mayor Hindley and Justice G. W. Stocker spoke from the same platform with Chaplain Scott, colored, and other prominent colored men, including ministers, doctors and lawyers. In his address Mayor Hindley said that the bettallion will leave Spokane "with the unanimous regret of the citizens," and he pointed out to the colored soldiers of his audience that then future conduct will have a strong hearing upon the question now being discussed in official circles of disbanding the Negro regiments of the army. Continuing Mayor Hindley said: "You have set a high ideal for the regiment that succeeds you, no matter whether it be white or black. Some of your men have fallen by the wayside, but where is there a group of 500 to 700 men, some of whom will not fall? Several members of the bar of Spokane and several members of the medical fraternity have been sent to the penitentiary since the Negro soldiers came here three years ago. Their record compares favorably with that of the best educated and most cultured men who are engaged in any profession." Headless Monster From Shadeland Spreads Terror in Wales. London, Jan. 1. A spectre is the cause of a reign of terror in the town of Abergele, midway between Rhyl and Colwyn Bay, Wales. The ghost makes its appearance almost directly opposite Glan Aber, the residence of Mr. Kneeshaw, a local justice of the peace, and near the eastern entrance of the park that surrounds Gwrych Castle, the Welsh seat of the Earl and Countess of Dundonald. It is a headless monster and parades the space between the gate on one side of the road to the gateway opposite, generally in the early morning. Abergele men on their way to work at Ilanddulas limeworks report that they are chased alarms, alarms, the specter, but up to now no casualties have occurred. One of the men, a laborer, named John Rush, was terribly scared by a wend noise that came from a tree stretching above the road. He took to his heels, and seeing a fellow workman in front, shouted frantically for help. The second man did not recognize the voice, and he in turn fled in terror.

Bandy was called to the materate of the Second Baptist Church of Eldorado Nov. 4, 1907, accepting the call and came to us. He rebelled his first sermon Nov. 14th, object "The Baten Big Tree." This will ever be remembered in our hearts. He served as faithfully five years, one month, and 21 days, and he loved a true, noble and devout servant of God. His life is worthy of simulation. He was a devoted Christian and peaceful citizen, and loved by all who knew him. As a leader he was ready to be the first to do what he commanded others. As an instructor he was always ready to teach and to extend a helping hand to anything for the elevation of his people. His great ambition was to do the work that the Master had assigned unto him, therefore he it Resolved, That our loss is Heaven's gain. The church has lost its sheep herd, the Sunday school and it. Y P. U, a friend and brother and the town a peaceful citizen.

Bandy, one of our most conscientious and consecrated members, president of the Minister and Deacons union of the Southwestern District association, therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Rev. Bandy we recognize that we have lost a worthy minister, a devoted pastor and a faithful gospel preacher. We here place on record our high appreciation of his faithful labors among us and shall cherish his memory and strive to emulate his heroic devotion to the cause of Christ and his earnest contending for the faith once delivered unto the saints. Second—That we deeply lament the loss his church has sustained in the death of its pastor, and regret the loss the family has sustained in one of its most excellent members. Third That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, and a copy be sent to his church and the bereaved family and also published in the Kansas Baptist Herald. By the Committee: Revs. E. T. Fishback, S. H. Butler, M. L. Copeland, J. C. Rogers, G. C. Harris, G. W. Perkins, W. H. Garnett, Deacons J. H. Lewis and John Jackson. A RABBI WOULD WED A NEGRO! Marriages Between Races Are Supported by a Boston Hebrew. Boston, Jan. 10.—Even in Boston, "where the color line" is noted for its indistinctness, was stirred today by the announcement of Dr. Charles Fleischer, formerly rabbi of Boston's largest congregation, that he would not hesitate to give a daughter in marriage to a Negro merely for racial reasons. "Mixed marriages are daily becoming more common," said Doctor Fleischer, "and I will say that the people of the earth are tending to an improved type by the assimilation of different races. I can see no reason for prejudice against Negroes. I would marry a Negro woman if she appealed to me deeply. I see no reason why a daughter should not be given to a Negro in marriage if they they loved each other." CARBONDALE, KANSAS The Baptist Mission Circle of this place held their annual meeting last Sunday and the state president, Mrs. Emma Gaines of Topeka was present and delivered the principal speech of the day. The people of Carbondale were well pleased with the address as she is well posted on Mission work in the state and foreign fields. Mrs. Lulu Roundtree, of Omaha, Neb., was also present and spoke of the Mission work in her state.

Holman, of North Topeka, as one of his field deputies and Mr. Ed. Ransom, turn key and night jailer. Mr. Holman has lived in Topeka for the past ten years and is one of Topeka's best citizens and a taxpayer. He has a wife and seven children and we are confident that Mr. Holman will make a good officer and render satisfaction in the discharge of his duty. Mt. Ransom is a son of Rev. J. R. Ransom, formerly presiding elder of the Topeka district of the A. M. E. church, but now pastor of the leading Methodist church of Kansas City, Kansas. Mt. Ransom served in the Ninth cavalry in the Philippines and is a capable and efficient young man. We commend Mr. Kiene for the splendid recognition he has given the colored race and along with all the test, we are grateful. We predict a successful administration for the new sheriff and hope that he will come out of office four years hence with an additional host of friends. Mr. Kiene was managing editor of the Topeka State Journal for some eighteen year and he has done much to make Topeka and Shawnee county grow and prosper, and his election to this office is but a just and partial reward for the many good things he has done for the city and county.

There are four or five local boys who have been busy for the past month or so hurling challenges at each other and Gough comes forward with a plan that should settle these disputes as to which is the best man. Gough's plan is to have the boys meet in a series of elimination contests. There are three or four lightweights here who should be able to put up some classy battles. They are: Ferguson, Gough Lamb and Palacky, the post lightweight. Gough proposes to have Ferguson meet either Palacky either here, Saint Joseph or Kansas City. He is willing to fight Lamb and have the winners in these bouts to battle for supremacy of Leavenworth. It is a good plan and about the best way the boys can settle this much discussed question as to who is the best of the bunch.

JONALITAN D. NORTON, Sheriff of Shawnee County, Kansas. W. R. MAZEN, Attorney Long Eared Hybrid Better Than the Horse In Many Ways. The mule's ability to take care of himself makes him very desirable where much hired help is employed. You cannot irritate him as you can a horse. He will take a good, steady gait and keep it. Many hands will jerk and yell at a horse until he loses more flesh from the excitement than from the work, but not so with the mule. He will pursue the even tenor THE MASTER OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN of his way and pay little attention to the horse drive. I have correspondent of the Orange Judi Patine." In hot weather it is almost impossible to hunt him, and he does not sweat too painful, as does the horse. A male soldier gets into trouble, for he seems never to get scared. If he kicks over the tongue or gets his harness fast he either gets loose quietly or waits for the driver to get him out of the difficulty. One of the especially good points of the mule is his excellent health. A sick mule is rare indeed. He will not overheat nor drink too much when warm. A mule does not require as much concentrated feed to keep him in good flesh as does a house of corresponding weight. The mules at Lakeside farm near Storm Lake, IA, where I was employed, were fed eight pounds of shallot corn and a generous supply of the other hay per day. That kept them in as good flesh as horses on heavier food and they did more work than the two pound chickens, receiving ten pounds of shaded corn eight pounds of good oats and good thyme hay. Mules will consume more toughage than horses and this in this form points to how and they are about satified.

Good cover on all oils when grown may be mixed with corn and a very safe history since produced. If there is an abundance of corn for filling the silo we rather favor curing the alfalfa and clover and nutting the corn into the silo. Layumes make a very good grade of silage. In the process of formation, owing to their high protein content, they develop a very objectionable odor, which is not at all injurious to the animal, nor do they produce an off flavored milk. Notwithstanding this, it is more satisfactory to use corn in the silo, stirring the clover and alfalfa and feeding it dry. Hounds' Daltry man Value of Barnyard Manure. The nitrogen in baltic and mature be easily worth 20 cents per pound. In the course of twelve months a horse will produce fifteen tons of nitrogen and litter, containing in round numbers 150 pounds of nitrogen, with a value of $10.00. When this same basis of calculation is applied to such grown animal on the farm it is easy to know what the value of the whaler's manure is if that manure be put on to the bed in so that this nitrogen, to put on with its other fertilizing elements, will be furnished. which is in poor health the growth of the wool is slower to the student food sleep of ten shing or up their wool is a result of a severe condition.

N. club at the handsome residence of Mrs. G. L. Scales, 713 East Tenth street. Remember, too, that this New Year event was the maiden expedition of this newly born club upon the sea of social life. Unlike the ill fated Titantic, her voyage was manifestly singular and successful. "The Aurora East Side Neighbors" made their debut without a single ripple. Celestial decorations, for instance; a miniature silver chariot drawn by Cupid with streamers of pink and green (club colors) projecting from various angles of the ceiling gloriously terminating upon Cupid's wings and the Cupid drawn chariot which was laden to overflowing with golden peanuts, garbed in club colors attached to cards which announced in bold letters, "A. S. E. N." It is putting it small to say that the Eagle Orchestra which consists of the following young men: Cannon Fabian, manager; Cunningham Emmet, Carleton Sylvester, Hoe Simon, Most Druisy Pottinger Albert and Pottinger Virgil, made music that really seemed to transform the natural surroundings into dreamland. Misses Minnie Hoe and Estola Jones graciously presided at the punch bowl, whilst another little maiden, Reida Dandridge cleverly attached to each of the two hundred callers, club soavenirs. A gorgeous display of costumes in the receiving line was much in evidence. Thus characterized the first chapter of the A. E. S. N.'s prospective history. GRAND RECEPTION. The Sigma Beta Girls received on New Years' day at the Elk's hall and it proved to be the grandest reception ever given in Topeka. The hall was beautifully decorated with palms and ferns. Christmas green completely hid the walls being also drawn across the room to the four corners, their name, "Sig Beta" in large letters of green on the south wall proved to be quite an attraction. Here and there were pennants of Kansas, Topeka and different colleges, cozy corners, rugs and pillows played an important part in the decorations. The young Misses, thirteen in number, stood in line to receive their guests and there never was a prettier set of young buds or more beautifully gowned ever stood in a hall or home than was the Sigma Beta Girls on New Years' day. The guest were introduced to the receiving line by Mr. Clarence Moss. They received from 3 to 5,590 about 225 guests. Refreshments were served by Mr. Barber and Mrs. Moss. Promptly at 10 o'clock, the Teepooha boys came, clumped his young lady from the line and danced until 8 o'clock chaparroned by Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Alexander. After which the left the ball wishing each other a happy and prosperous New Year, and hoped to receive another invite soon. The members of the club are: Miss Golde Duke. Miss Hortense Clark. Miss Willa Abe Cooper. The Teepooka Boys entertained at an elaborate 6 course dinner on New Years' eve, complimentary to the Sigma Beta Girls. At the hour appointed, the young men with their ladies, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Alexander, arrived at the cafe where everything was in readiness. The guests, thirty-six in number were seated at five long tables where everything was pleasing to the taste and eye was served. The dining room decorations were pink and white—the club colors. Large vases filled with pink and white caranations were in the center of the tables and favors of pink and white caranations were presented to each guest. Too much cannot be said in praise of these young men for it was quite noticeable that no time or money had been spared to make it the hit of the season. Mr. Charley Scott, president of the club was toastmaster. After dinner, the guests returned to the parlor where a grand musicale was given, after which the guests retired to their homes declaring the Teepook Boys the grandest hosts yet. Those present were: Miles Cleo Morgan, Mr. Chas Scott. Mias Ruby M'Knight, Mr. Earl Rhodes. Mr. Howard Logan, Mirs Edna Ford. Miss Maggie Moss, Mr. Elmer Gordon. Miss Katherine Barker, Mr. Testus Duke. Miss Lousea Oden, Mr. Harry Pope. Miss Katherine Grant, Mr. Harry Ferguson. Miss Marie Elliott, Mr. Daniel Stewart. Miss Willa Abe Cooper, Mrs. B. T. Alexander. Mr. B. T. Alexander. Hildred Oden, Miss Cassie Fleming. Mr. Grover Starnes, Miss Madeline Smith. Mr. Fred Shuck, Miss Goldie Duke. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mr. Robert Bradford, one of the city's most respected citizens, and a carpenter by trade, died Wednesday night at his home, 1720 Fillmore St, aged 66 years. The funeral was held this afternoon at 2:30 from the house and interment was at Mt. Auburn. The funeral of Arthur Payne, who died yesterday, was held this afternoon at the undertaking parlors of Stonecrest and Son, and the interment was at Mt. Auburn. Mrs. Eliza Radford, aged 41 years, died Monday night at Christ hospital. She lived at 1823 Van Buren street. The funeral was held at the "B" St. Baptist church, North Topeka, yesterday afternoon at 2:30, and interment was at 11t. Auburn. Myra Chapter, O. L. S, had charge of the funeral arrangements.

Boston, who departed this life Jan. 3, 1913, at 2:15 o'clock Friday morning, we bow our hearts in humble submission to His will, who doeth all things for the best. Mrs. Boston was born in Anderson county, Kentucky, Jan. 12, 1828, and was 84 years old at her death. She married Alexander Boston in 1848 and of that union eleven children were born, four boys and seven girls. Of the children five survive her, two girls and three boys. Mrs. Boston came to Kansas from Kentucky 35 years ago. She became a member of Lane Chapel, C. M. E. church under the administration of Rev. J. M. Brown, and was a faithful member. She leaves a host of grandchildren and other relatives and many warm friends to mourn her demise. "Sleep on, dear one, till God shall cure the trumpet that will wake His blessed sleepers from whence they'll sleep no more, and shall go to join that vast throng above. Rest on, dear one, rest on, for soon the time will come when we shall greet you in that grand throng. MRS. C. P. HICKS, Topeka Mrs. A. F. Farris, Handdressing and Hair Wrok.

Precautions Needed to Bring the Bld- dage Through in Good Shoes. in the first place the general poultry house, where all but the latest broods will necessarily be much confined during storms and severe cold, should have a thorough going over. If the floor boards have warped, leaving white cracks, especially in the places where the feeding is done, these should be filled in to secure greater warmth and especially to prevent the grain from falling through and attracting rats. Window glues that have been broken should be reset, not replaced with a board or shingle, since the fowns will need all the sunshine from every direction that can reach them. Then if it is possible give the walls and ceiling a thick coat of whitewash, which will seal up all milts and other vermin harboring in crevices, neutralizing disease germs of every kind and help to keep the air sweet and wholesome, and will besides add very much to the light and cheerfulness of the inclosure. The perches should be improved by scraping, smoothing and treating with coal oil, especially at the ends that rest in the sockets. The nest boxes, too, should have all the old litter taken out and be thoroughly brushed before being refilled with short straw or dried lawn clippings, at the bottom of which in such a box it is a good plan to place a handful of tobacco stems or layers of red cedar twigs, which will assist in keeping the hema clear of lice. Airable dusting box must be provided with a liberal supply of road dust, which should have been collected in the dry weather of summer or early fall. Packing this, lifted coal ashes from furnace or grate may be used, but never wood ashes, which would have the effect of bleaching the legs and loosening the feathers. Another necessary provision is a box of crushed oyster shells and other sharp grit, with the addition of a portion of pounded charcoal.—Farm Progress SALT FOR THE CRITTERS. Good Way to Supply It is Locale in a Homemade Box. The best way of salting cattle is to have it always available so that they may go to it at pleasure. This can be accomplished by having a brick of salt tacked up under the shed where the animals can lick it, or another good ```markdown ``` way to use loose suit is to construct a box, as shown in the illustration which is partially filled with suit. The hole should be large enough that the animal can put its nose into it and lift the lid up. The cattle will examine the box, and sniffing the salt through the half moon shaped hole, put their noses in and lift the lid up. As soon as they are throughlicking the lid will drop down and protect the salt from dirt and dust, and from rain. If the box is placed in pasture—lowa Homestead There seems to be an almost irreducible inclination on the part of many persons to cultivate too much land. Land well cultivated will produce better crops with less work than a large area poorly cultivated. The small farm, with the use of brains, will do better work than will the large one where only muscle is used. Chasing the Snail. Snails are often a great nuisance in a greenhouse and equally so in a collar. They can be trapped in quin titles by placing about the cettar fresh slices of potato or turpulp or fresh cabbage leaves. Dispose the bodies at night and in the morning gather up and destroy the snails clinging to them. Have scattered about the cettar will repel the snails, also salt. Bits of gum camphor scattered about are of interest to them. Rural New Yorker A point which the less thoughtful pig breeder frequently overlooks in the selection of the young sow pig for bree ting purposes is that it should be deserved from a sow or preferably from a line of sows which have been in the habit of continuing to give a good supply of milk for a term of eight weeks at least after farrowing Boot Pulp as Dairy Food. Dried best pulp is giving better satisfaction as a dairy feed than farmers expected. It is dried at the factory, twenty pounds of wet pulp down to one, and when fed to cows the preserved way is to wet it up twelve hours in advance with drops from the weight of water.

In order to get a crop of potatoes we plant and cultivate; if we want the best orchard we spray and prune, but we let nature plant and care for the wood lot, and then we wonder why that wood lot does not pay. The timber crop can be improved by care for the same reasons that other crops can be improved. Although it takes longer to raise this crop than any other, it can be raised on land otherwise unprofitable or idle. Such a crop will in the end yield a comfortable bank account, and the value of the wood lot to the farm is greater than the sale value of the crop in the convenience and the saving of money by having various wood products at hand, in protecting the build 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

The time is coming when thifty young timber not yet large enough to cut will have a good sale value. The care of this crop causes little expense, and the wood lot offers one means of solving the problem of how to keep good farm help profitably employed all the year. The three principal aims in caring for the wood lot should be to keep the ground thoroughly covered with trees, to have only the best possible trees and to make them grow rapidly. In order to make thinner grow fast care should be taken in choosing the kinds of trees to raise, the soil should be kept moist and mellow by protecting the leaf mould, and the best trees should be given a full amount of light by making improvement cuttings. Methods of starting new trees either to fill openings now in the woods or to replace thinner to be harvested are as follows: by sprouts by seed falling from lightning trees, by sowing seed broadcast and by planting trees or seed—Cornell (N. N) Reading Course Lesson for Farm. Cement In Tree Cavities If your orchid trees have decayed positions in them clean out the rotted wood then bare disponibly into the wood in different directions from the bottom of the hole in order that the filling may hold. Fill the cavity with the following cement compound: Portland cement, one pound, sand, two pounds; cinders, two pounds. Back the cement in well and soil all around the filling with a lot mixture. Leave no projections beyond the plane of the bark and immediately the wood ring and the bark will begin to form over the patch, and the tree will ultimately be as good as new. The entire heart of the tree may be cleared out and filled in this way and the tree will continue to flourish—Farm Progress --- Whose advice do you follow?

Sorghum on the Dairy Farm: Sorghum has proved a very profitable crop in many of the most improved farms. It is especially good for dairy cows and hogs. One man who sells from 300 to 400 market hogs every year says that he carried his brood sow through the past winter on sorghum hay with the best of results - Kimbali's Dairy Farmer, Dr. Wiley, the Food Export, Boya a Dug in the Cause. All sorts of reasons are advanced for the turning yellow of alfalfa. Some may be correct and some not. "Lack of backrush in the soil," says one. "The ground soil time," says another. "Your underdrainage," says a third. But here comes Bl. W. Wiley of Washington, the famous food expert, who tells us in the Rural New Yorker that it is due to a peculiar sort of lunge that is very fond of feeding alfalfa. There is what he says: "A year ago last spring I sowed four acres of alfalfa on my farm in Loudoun county, Va. The plot bearing the alfalfa lies just at the foot of the Blue Ridge, on the east side, and is a good quality of soil. The plot was carefully prepared by deep plowing, thorough storing of the surface and a previous treatment with two tons of lime per acre. The germination was almost perfect and the growth phenomont. "Nudibly about the first week in June, when the young alfalfa was two or three inches high, the whole plot began to turn yellow. I thought it was due to fungus and brought ample to the bureau of plant industry at Washington "It was examined by the specialist on plant physiology, but no fungus could be found. They did say how ever that innumerable insects were found among the leaves and stems I therefore took samples to Dr Howard entomologist of the department he was delighted in discovering a special affauna house, of which he had often hegged but never had seen. In hisophion the production of xanthophyll was due to impoverishment of the plant by the extinction of the sap by these the I would suggest to farmers who notice this appearance to examine their alfalfa fa for like."

Put two small hinges on it, replace and fix a button to hold it in place. Next cut in a slit about two inches wide and neatly to the studding on both sides, about WALL ATTACHED FROM THROUGH. [From American Agricultural] a foot above the floor. Insert a trough running back and slimting to the out side of the trough to come a little above the opening in the wall so the fire will not extinguish. With a coal scuttle the trough may be easily filled and the hears cannot waste or get on top of the trough and find it. I have these in my house for grill, shell and bacon during the winter. While one feeds grills and thinks it host to keep up to before the fire all the time this pain will be likened as it takes up more or whatever. If one house is not called the loves may be put on the outside of the house with troughs running through. The top of the loves shall shalt so the tail will run off. If love of comes will have to be till it from the outside. With this plant the God drops down as if a hears come out from the troughs. --- Good indoor trees may sometimes be evoked from your ones by properly planting and caring for a few tools of fencing --- Around the Hennery. Here is where so many people fall down in the hot business. 'They will not feed well while the hens are 'dry.' Chancenol is not a food, though fewly gain in flesh and eggs during its use. It simply puts them and keeps them in a good condition for work. Impure air, as well as dampness, is a danger to any flock. Separate the flock in lunches of twenty-five or fifteen and feed them separately, and they will make much better gains. With the possible exception of broilers, a poultry produce the highest poultry meat on the market. They frequently fall as high as 10 cents a pound and never less than 20 cents. During the winter months the poultry houses are apt to get damp, and some kind of absorbent material should be used on the doors of the poultry houses and under the roofs. Nothing is a good diet for this purpose. Do not thaw that if the lime does not have a full supply of gelit the food will not pass through the glazed as it should. The glazed and the passage way from the crop to the glazed be come digged and many a fruit does simply from a vast of material to grind the food keep gelit before the family at all times. No World-Burrring—Satan to Be Bound—Sin, Slackness and Death to Be Conquered—Man to Be Delivered. The Power Vented in Mosalah—His Kingdom Near—How It Will Appear. Denver, Dec. 1. This city is attired: Seventeen pastors of all denominations have been discussing The Second Advent for a month. Now common Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Earth child with forever"—that it will never be destroyed by literal PASIOR RUSSELL Denver, Dec. 1.—This city is stirred. Seventeen pastors of all denominations have been discussing The Second Advent for a month. Now comes Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Earth shalloth forever"—that it will never be destroyed by literal According to him the great event of Christ's Coming will bring blessings such as we all desire. He seems to have the Bible and logic on his side too! Pastor Russell declared that false concepts of the Second Coming of Christ had done great injury. The view set forth in all orthodox creeds is that Christ will come again in the flesh. The resurrection will take place within twenty four hours. The sainth will rise in the air to meet the Lord. Then fire will come down from heaven, and consume the whole earth. Pre-millennialists claim that Christ will reign in fleshly glory a thousand years to bless the living. The majority of Christians shown this as ridiculous nonsense because thy believe little of creed or Bible. A minority perceive its inconsistency with the Bible. What Bible Students Now See. "The fire of that day" is symbolical, already kindling in society, the elements of which, Capital and Labor, are getting hotter. Soon they will melt, the symbolical "earth" will be consumed with the "heaven" also, the ecclesiastical powers. Their passing away will usher in a "new earth," or social order, and "new heavens," the Church in glory. The Second Coming of Christ is associated with blessings. Messiah will abolish the curse and bring in wonderful blessings. The Day of Christ will be "the last day,"—the great Seventh Thousand and a Day. All humanity will be blessed, including the dead who will then be awakened. Christ Comes to Reign. As the redemption was necessary for man's salvation so Messiah's Kingdom is necessary to accomplish restitution. The delay of more than eighteen centuries is Scriptually explained: (1) God designed Six Great One Thousand Year Days to teach mankind the exceeding sorrowfulness of sin. He purposed that on the Seventh Day the blessing of Messiah should come (2) An important work has been done since Calvary. An Elect Church has been gathered out of all nations saluts made perfect through suffering, a Little Black, the "Church of the First-born". These are to become the Bride of Christ at His Second Advent. The Second Coming of Jesus is to claim His Bible class, and to excite them as regards the world. He comes to bind Satan, to overthrow sin, and to upflift fallen humanity. St. Peter tells that Redemption work, and a literal burning of the world awaits the Second Coming of Jesus: "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 1:1, 1921 Christ's Kingdom to Be Spiritual. One great mistake we have all made is in not noticing that Jesus was his man for only thirty three and a half years. He was a glorious spirit being before he was made flesh, and he was resurrected to a spirit condition—higher than His original one. How foolish we were to think of Jesus as a man (a little lower than angels) in the midst of the heavenly host. He is now partaker of the Divine nature; His Church is to be "changed" and inside "like Him." As his descent was from a higher to a lower, so his ascent was from a lower nature to a higher, "for above angels." He is the exceeding glory which "no man shall seen nor can see"—"which no man can approach unto" It in this glorious Being whose Kingdom is about to be established. He and His Church will be as invisible to men as are Satan and the fallen angels. The appearances of Jesus in the flesh after His resurrection were materializations to prove: (1) that Jesus was no longer dead; (2) that He was changed, born of the Spirit, able to go and come like the wind. Parousia, Epiphania, Apokalupsis. Messiah's Kingdom will have earthly representations the faithful saints of previous use misused to human perfection instantly. Through these the invisible Messiah's Kingdom will operate Jesus said, "Ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom." The paranoid of Jesus will come first—preset but invisible. The world will continue with the ordinary affairs of life while He is gathering the Church as in the days of Noah. After the gathering of the Church there will be an epiphania and an apocalypse of Jesus. He will shine forth. He will be revealed not in desh but in truth, like the trouble of that Day, in which the present order will be consumed in unmercy, giving place to the Kingdom Dispensation. HUTCHINSON, KAN.

The effectiveness of the formulation treatment for stinking smell of wheat snout of oats and cereal snout of barley when properly used has been repeatedly demonstrated.

Country Gentleman WHY CHICKENS PAY. Eight Arguments In Favor of Poultry Raising by the General Farmer. A well known Canadian professor at Ottawa, in reply to the question, "Why is poultry valuable to the farmer?" gave the following reasons: Because he ought to this means to convert a great deal of the waste of his farm into means in the shape of eggs and chicks for markets. Because with intelligent management laws ought to be all your revenue products, with the exception of poultry two months during the making period. Because poultry will yield a good return for his capital invested than any of the other departments of itsulture. Because the mixture from the poultry houses will make a valuable compost for use in other vegetable gardens and orchards. The birds themselves, if allowed to eat in plum or apple or orchard, will do so all injurious insert He uses white seeds and fruits can be so carefully grown in certain soils, porosity can be taken for to the use or levels of eggs in all parts of the country.

He uses it will bring the best return in the shape of new 101 eggs during the winter season when the insects lose most time on his hands. Because to start poultry taking on the farm requires little or no capital burden any circumstances, with proper management poultry can be made with little cost a valuable addition to the farm. WHAT'S IN A FARM NAME? Every Comfortable Homestead Is Worth Its Own Distinctive Title Here's some man and woman have a shaded memoir of the old home in the old days were spent, and if that old home was on a farm that then should have a home that will last quite a time from all other futures of the country. Now every other business house, any other has adopted a name and a established. Here's from its utility of a home and every former in make a trophy and establish a gift for his family and its products through installment, annual study and installation of approved models in many other places. A well known name holds dignity to a price and is a sort of trademark which distinguishes it and its products, it characterizes its owner as a man of pride and stamina all who are interested in it or its products to do and to be the best. We believe that it well selected name will furnish an incentive for better farming, that all implements, tools, vehicles, crates and products whenever possible should have the name of the farm indubitably stamped upon them; that it should adorn every entrance to the farm and be painted upon all stationery used on the farm. We believe that the name should relate to some distinct feature of the farm, its location, topography or products. Illinois Farmers' Institute Pumpkins are about 90 per cent water. It has been estimated that two and one half tons of pumpkins equal in feeding value about one ton of village and that twenty pounds of pumpkins contain so much digestible protein as a pound of corn.

On every farm where there is timber of large size there might be a cantook, an implement shown in the picture for the purpose of moving heavy logs, ways home and from, from which picture and description are taken. It will save a tremendous amount of heavy lifting, and one man with a cantook can do as much, or even more, than two without it. The handle should be about five feet long and the iron book about twelve inches, or if very large logs are to be used fifteen inches the book should work loosely on a foot through the handle and the "business" and be slightly curved inward and al was kept short.

MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY ```markdown ``` THE man of women who shows taste in preparing vegetables, or it butter and potato for that is the one who gets very prices and big profits. It is put in reputation and partly the appeal and animations that entitle one to the man of women. Here is an allusion to it. It could be to the school he up to the age of 10. The old one comes many steps and it looks like will be the last mess he will be in. If the product he bought but the bill is better than the whole work, but all the things there is still good profit.

These kinds of things be taken out on sweet talks and boiled pots this on sunbathe will give a whole some sweet drink will have leaves will be taken to tea well To be good to the best trade producer of all kinds must be clean and fresh. Farmers should be taste and care in arranging purchases. It is possible to have an individuality about these matters which will be held condemned after they have been found. An attractive and nice of merchandise virtually sells itself. This is particularly true of all country produce. It must be home in mind that while providing piles of ice on commodities be heavily on the肩, there are those sands in every large city who are willing and able to pay double the regular retail rates if they can of their really cheap produce direct from the farm. The selling end of the farmer's business is of ever increasing importance. It is a feature of agricultural activity which unmet demands attention. There are the demands of a full farm size who are poor workers and permit "THERE ALL THE HONOR LIES." There is as much honor in being able to fly off a straight row, use the low dynamically and operate the mower or the blower correctly as to be a mechanic, a carpenter, a lawyer, a doctor or a merchant. It is not the kind of work one does, but the manner in which the work is done, that makes character-Kansas Patron They Fool You Sometimes by the Way the Animal Is Trimmed. Preparing sheep for the show ring is the work of an expert. The skittish sheep can hide the detects of his sheep so that they are not apparent to the eye, and only the experienced judge can discover them. Sheep cannot be judged without feeding of them. The judge must use his hands far more than his eyes. The notice is often delivered by the way the sheep is trimmed often the sheep appears to be fit when it is thin. After the sheep have been trimmed they usually are blunted. The blunted keep them clean and prevent them from rubbing their wool, which THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SUPPORTING THE NEW YORK CITY BROOKLYN HIGH SCHOOL. Photograph by Oregon Agricultural College JUSTIN SHEEK AT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE would unite all the work of the sheep herd. They also present the pulling of the wool by thoughtless persons. Persons who are ignorant of the effect upon the sheep and also on the temper of the sheephed delight to bury then flowers in the soft wool and thus pull it. Whatever they pick their fingers into the wool a hole is left which is very hard to fill up. The wool is putist and gives the flowers a rugged appearance. The worst thing however, is the large burlish spot which is made where the wool is pulled. Kansas is hostile that Cowpeas and Hogs.

BOWSFIELD kadimate profits to slip away from U.S. Fish. In some cases represents the difference between failure and success. With the development in cities of a steady cash demand at high prices for all kinds of produce and a general improvement in transportation facilities there is no good reason why the fishery should not realize greater reasons on the commodities which he has to dispense of. A New York business man who was led to a New Jersey suburb on account of broken health is making a good living by repacking vegetables and fruit which he buys from farmers and truckers, repacking them and selling it to the consumer. He has a large list of regular customers among the residents of the numerous small towns of his vicinity, who buy all their fruit and vegetables from him because they can depend upon getting them fresh, clean and sound. A recent visit to the great produce market of South Water street, Chicago, disclosed the fact that hundreds of shippers send their apple crop-much of it the fruit of good color and free from rot to the commission men humped into barrels regardless of size or condition, mixed with dirt, leaves and twigs, all tending to lower the value of the fruit, a condition which the commission men are quick to take advantage of. The merchants greatly increase their own profits by repacking the apples. Ans farmer or gardener who is located within reasonable distance of a good market will make more money by selling to retail dealers or consumers than by shipping his stuff to the commissordommen in the large cities. By careful attention he can in a short time establish a reputation for his produce which will bring more customers than he can serve. The man who on eighty acres gives self to high purposes and large living will easily outrank in intellectual power and social influence the more money seeker on a farm many times larger. It isn't the size of the farm, but the quality of the farmer's methods, which determines his place in the community. Iowa Home stead. TO GO OVER THE BROOK. Gate That Lets Both High Water and Low Pass Easily Beneath It. A swinging water gate may be made in the following manner. Take a log about four inches in diameter. Drop it into the facks of two posts one set on either bank of the stream. The posts should be set three or four feet into the ground, and the log should be long enough for the ends to extend a foot or so beyond the tops of the posts. Suspend to this pole a gate made thus: Saw skylight boards the desired length and will three or four crosspieces to them, simulating the mills so the gate will be strong. Note holes in the top ends of these upright pieces for inserting the suspension wires. These wires should run over the pole and be just right to keep the gate from striking the leaf of the stream. If this gate swings close it will let the water pass underneath it when the stream is swollen by the freshest and drop back to its natural position when the stream turns down. Low屋檐ed. Farming With Brains. When one hears of a great yield of corn or small grain it is a safe guess that a good alfalfa or clover and exist on the field not many years before. The planting of good seed is the foundation of success in farming, and many where he who fell to build upon that foundation if it all such the outlook is discouraging. The compost heap is the farmer's saving bank. There, little by little, he saves wealth that otherwise would go to waste, but, cultivated together and properly used, will make the soil thicker every year. Discussed farming carries in idea of intensified farming that is, getting the most profits from an area of land. When crops are diversified the land is occupied longer and consequently yields more than when one crop is grown and the land lies follow a large portion of the time. Constantly you will hear seen saying in public addresses and agricultural superiors that it is impossible for the orchards farmer to produce beef profitably, while just as constantly the farmers in the corn belt are throwing away the corn plant, which, if preserved in the skin, is the finest meat making food in the world.
