TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Historical Society State House SPLENDID TRIBUTE TO MR. O. S. MOSLEY! Fifteenth Year. No. 13. In a Spirited Contest at Washburn School of Law for the Best Production on "Why I Am Studying Law" Judge West of the Kansas Supreme Court. One the Ablest Jurist in America, Pick's Mr. Mosley's. The faculty of Washburn School of Law very recently held a contest for the best production in "Why I Am Studying Law," in which Mr. O. S. Mosley of this city, was a contestant. All the students participated Mr. Mosley is in the senior class, and will graduate this year. Judge West of the Kansas Supreme Court was the judge in this contest, and after carefully going over the various articles (which went to him without name) and Mr. Mosley's production was selected as the best, and for the work Judge B. R. Simon presented him with a set of Cooley's "Blackstone." Any community in need of a first-class lawyer in the near future will do well to address this office in reference to Mr. Mosley. His article follows: "Why I Am Studying Law." Why I Not Studying Law. The first thought a young man has on completing his academic or collegiate education is the choice of his life work. He decides to be a doctor, a minister, a lawyer, or to enter some of the other professions. This decision is often made without any deliberation and without considering the reasons why it is made. He may be prejudiced in favor of one profession, because his father, some relative of friend, followed it and pursues its study mainly for that reason. But one should not choose a profession on a whim or prejudice of this kind. It should first consider his fitness to pursue this profession, its value to humanity, his loss for his profession and the possibility of some credit to the profession. The legal profession offers great inducements to young men. Many men have gained great horizons as lawyers; a few have accumulated great wealth; and some men have found the practice of law a stepping-stone to great policy all prospered and success. Those achievements appeal to the young man entering a profession and he chooses law, hoping to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors. My reason for studying law are based on a consideration of the good works and duties accomplished by lawyers. This, to me has been the keenest incentive to my study of law, aside from a flattering hope that I am not entirely unit for the profession. I will note in detail some of the salient reasons why I am studying law. In the first place I like the profession I like to read law, to run down decisions of notal judges and gain an idea of their great reasoning power I enjoy the atmosphere of the court room, the contentions among the lawyers, the deliberations of the court I admire the lawyer's plan for justice. The lawyer seeks to give everyone the benefit of a doubt, he desires to give a square deal. Given when conviction seems certain and the public declares a chart guilty, the lawyer says, "Suspend the sentence it may not be as it appears. Can you prove it?" He speaks as Lincoln spoke on one occasion when defending a client. "The evidence seems to show that my client is guilty, but I am not quite sure, are you?" Again the legal profession requires the acquisition of interesting and useful knowledge. The lawyer must study if he expects to master even in a slight degree the subject of law. It is a study broad in its scope. Note the variety of lawsuits. A doctor may be sued for malpractice; an editor for libel; an inventor may be sued for infringement; one may violate the provisions of a copyright; an ar that may be charged with being a more copyist; insanity may be the only defense in a criminal action; every transaction of the merchant may be subject to litigation, and even a minister may be tried for heresy. Expert witnesses are used in most of the suits, and must not the lawyer be familiar with these various subjects? He must study carefully in detail each subject and it himself to examine a specialist in each line. The lawyer then must study and keep informed on these diversified and perplexing subjects, and in so doing he broadens his general knowledge. The profession has maintained a character for honesty and uprightness. Lawyers are prominent in public life, and are the most influential citizens. Go into the village of town and ask for the leading citizens and you will at once be directed to the lawyers. Our life, liberty, property and reputation are entrusted to the care of the lawyer and he proves faithful to the trust. In his mind justice is supreme; truth is what he seeks to know, and if he is not convinced of the truth of his client's demands he will not push the case. A lawyer was once called upon by a friend to defend a case. The client was charged with having committed a felony and offered a large fee to retain the lawyer. After investigating the case the lawyer suggested a plea of guilty. The client was very unwilling to accept this proposition, but finally agreed to do so. The lawyer was right, because his client was guilty, and he knew it. After the proceedings were over the best citizens pre-credit shook the lawyer's hand and said: "You have won more character and done yourself more good than if you had received a thousand dollars fee." The profession of law has often been regarded as a money-making proposition. This is not the highest aim and reward of the profession. Its highest aim is to subserve justice; its highest reward is consciousness of duty well performed, of responsibilities well undergone. The lawyer is not a part of a tear-down system, but a part of a building-up system. He does not encourage lawsuits, but prevents them whenever possible. Prevention to him is better than cure. Some years ago Andrew Carnegie and his chief associate Henry C. Drick, were involved in a large lawsuit. Drick, and the chief stockholders became partners in the controversy. A disastrous fight was threatening, one that would do more harm to the steel business than good. The lawyer saw the pending evil and succeeded in showing those men that their suit which involved ten million dollars, was fraudless and would cost even more than that. He pointed out to them a plan of reorganization and consolidation that would justify the whole situation. They heeded the lawyer's advice and the company has grown as never before. Another instance of the higher service of the lawyer was the settlement some years ago of the controversy between the meat packers and Union Stock Yards of Chicago. Each of these interests was threatening to destroy the other. Their resources had failed, a resort to court would have been disastrous; but the lawyer secured peace by way of compromise. The true function of a lawyer then is that of a harmonizer. He seeks to protect rights established by law; he promotes speedy trials and just settlements of controversies; he works with all honorable means for his client's purposes. He deplores all that is basic and derogatory and gladly uses his influence and wisdom for all that elevates the general letterment of the people, for all that promotes peace and good will. The lawyer has performed great services as a statesman. He is learned in the science and practice of government and puts his wisdom into practical execution. The convention which framed our constitution, which has been the instrument of our country's greatness, was composed chiefly of lawyers, and in every legislative body of the nation the profession of law has been more propitious and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 28, 1913. influential than any other profession. While our lawyer, as statesmen, have accomplished great and good results in building up and steering the affairs of our government, yet they have rendered no greater service than the courts of the country. The achievements of the supreme court of the United States present a glaring example of the efficient service of our courts. They have at all times stood for just and righteous laws, beneficial to all the people. They have interpreted our constitution and laws in the light of justice and reason. During the thirty-four years of Justice Marshall's judicial service, in deciding questions arising in all parts of the country there were established four great legal principles which underlie our whole constitutional system, and which are its main support. They declared the supremacy of the national government over the state and its inhabitants; the supremacy of the constitution over every department of government; the absolute freedom of trade and labor; between all the states; and the inviolability of private contracts. These principles Bert Cochran tells us are the principles of power, of justice, of peace and of prosperity, which are the foundation of our country's development. The lawyer is under great obligations to keep his personal character spotless. He is an officer of the court. His character is constantly on trial. The country has placed confidence in him and he is relying on his integrity, his honor and uprightness, his promise under oath to see it that justice is done, to the weak as well as the rich, and that the laws of the country are protected and enforced in every case. No professional men are more intimate in their relationship with the people than the lawyers. The doctor is familiar with the ailments and symptoms of his patients; the minister knows the sins of his flock, but the client opens to the lawyer his whole heart, his business secrets and difficulties, his family relationships and quarrels and the most intimate affairs that may come into his life. To the lawyer he often intrusts the duty of saving his life, of protecting his good name and property and of training for him his liberty. Under such solemn and sacred responsibilities, the profession of law maintains a code, the provisions of which are more jealously guarded than that of any other profession. Its provisions are First. To support the constitution of then states and the United States; Second: To maintain the respect due the court of justice and judicial officers; Third: To employ for the purpose of maintaining the cause considered to them, such means only as are consistent with truth and justice; Fourth: To maintain violate the confidence of their clients and at every point to themselves, to preserve such secrets; Fifth: To encourage neither the commencement nor continuance of an action or proceeding from any motive of passion or interest; Sixth: Never to reflect for any consideration personal to the assists the cause of the defenseless or oppressed. My reason for studying law is the hope that I may conceive the lives of the greatest lawyers. In reading their history we learn that they were loyal always to their codes. They were the most enlightened, the most influential, the most honest, the trust men of their age. The vast number of our lawyers today also are men of character, they may be four always fighting for justice and in social and civil reform, they stand openly and unpromisingly for all that is honest and right and good. To them "The seat of the law is the bosom of God; her voice the harmony of the sphere; all things in Heaven and earth do her assurance, the greatest as needing her protection, the meanest as not afraid of her power." --- RILY C. O. SMITH WRITES. Hutchinson Divine Discusses the Recent Principles. Editor Plantleader On week ago I arrived home after an absence of two months, and on my arrival I found politics at high tide. Eight candidates for mayor and five for the two year term, school board, and unfortunately two of them were colored and I bring uncle to have a colored peron on the board. I set to work try- ing to iron out the differences between them so that one or the other would withdraw. But I soon learned that the old line and skillful politician had sown the seed of political discord which destroyed that union that should always exist among intelligent people to the extent that Mrs. I. K. Broaddus and Mr. H. B. Owens both graduates, honorable, competent and respected by all had become so obstinate that neither would give space for the other. It was then no longer a question of a nomination, but a test of personal prestage or friendship in the community. Charges which appeared to be without foundation were circulated against Mrs. Broaddus, alleging that she was in favor of separate schools. This no doubt lost her some votes, but as I said in a recent article in your paper, that the people of Hutchinson are beginning to think and vote as they think best is will be seen by figures copied from the local Democrat newspaper showing the stamming of the five candidates; First Lipsest, white man 1841 Second Lipsest, white man 1852 Third Highest, Mrs. I K Broadus, colored woman 1854 H. B. Owens, colored 1857 H. B. Owens, col. 191 ... 182 With owners out of the race and 182 to Brondust and about 200 who would not vote on this account, Mrs. Broad, due would have had 1015. I am proud of the complimentary vote of both, but we might as well have a member of the board as shown by the vote received by Mrs. I. K. Broadus. I trust this will be an object lesson to the colored ladies who love the race to lay aside personal attitudes for the advancement of the race and vote for competent persons—no reflection, both parties are worthy and competent, just a mistake. I hope will never be repeated. Oliver C. Smith Hutchinson, Kas, March 26, 1811 Mrs. M. C. Rhatter, of Junction City is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Punkerson. Mrs. Heber Punkerson returned on last Saturday from Council Bluffs, Ia., where she had been visiting her brother. Rev. J. H. Hubert and family, form- ally of Medicine Lodge live located in Hutchinson Where's Topeka's Christians? Where's Topeka's Christians? We wish to call the attention of a public to the condition of a poor little colored girl, eight years old, the daughter of Mrs. I. Lee Wait at 12:34 a.m. street. The mother is now confined in the tub only, on a bench. North the. Her son is in lansing parmentary; the married daughter with two children, who is also sick with the same disease. The son of daughter, little Ealna is working and trying to cure for the sick letter and her two little children and her baby sister, eight years old. We asked her why she did not send the child to the Orphans Home and she said she did send her to the home located at 12:34 Chandler street and she had to take her away as the child had to sleep on a trunk and carefully hold it to cut. The motion in charge said that was the best she could do as the women in charge would not do anything to help out. Now where are the women who has change of the Orphans Home. They ought to get busy and look after the home or do continue it. There is no excuse for this state of affairs. The county would help out the orphans. This property has been rented out for years and there ought to be something in the treasury to at least help take care of one child—this being the total number of inmates, including matron. Now my dear Christian women of the colored race if you will cut out some of your club entertainments and meet to take up such cases a Mrs. White and her poor suffering children your clubs would have more effect upon the public. Go heal the sick and raise the dead—not the devil --- William L. Porter wants the offi of Commissioner of Parks and Public property and promotes greater improvement in that department. He's OUR STRICKEN NEIGHBORS! The Heart of Every Loyal Kansan is Bowed in Deep Sorrow. The people of Topeka and Kansas deplore the loss of so many lives and loss of property by floods and tornadoes in Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska. We are in receipt of a note from Elmer Link, a Topekan who says the colored people lost heavily also several were killed and injured. R. E. Evans, carpenter, who lives at East Hill in this city, has just returned from Omaha. He was in the house of Will Newman just ten minutes before the storm. Mr. Newman was up stairs asleep. A little sleet began to fail and then a sudden rain and within three minutes all was ever. He found himself in a corner protected by the piano and a chair. He crawled out and found Mrs. Newman in the street covered with dust and soot and black. She called to him to look after her husband, but he was so shocked and frightened he did not attempt to look for him but made for the depot. The Newman daughters were away from home. The house was completely demolished. A press report says there were one or two colored men found in the ruins of the Idlewild Pool hall with dice and money clasped in their hands. Mr. Link says fifteen dead bodies were taken out. Our advice to all sports who can't find time to play pool at night and through the week had better stop and consider the church and other places where much good can be done for the uphill of mankind. We are not superstitious but do not feel that it is right to desecrate the Sabbath. There are thousands of broken hearted souls in Omaha and we wish them all the blessings of heaven and that much good may come out of this awful colony and all that was lost will be returned through charity and benevolence.

The presentation speech was so impressively made by Mrs. Mollie Cox, one of the teachers, there were tours, and smiles from many. Mr. Chinneth is a graduate of Hobson Normal Institute, and always has a flow of words at his command but when he tried to acknowledge acceptance of the gift so complete was the surprise, words failed him and he could only say again and again I appreciate and thank you.

One pool nail was de all their superstition from the whites, ished, no saloon was injured, but school houses were rathed and so PASSING COMMENT BY JOHN M. DORSLY We have long known that some of the most highly civilized barbarians dwelt in the United States, especially in the South, but occasionally we read things that tend to make us believe that we know nothing of barbarians or heathens, and the following care of Mrs. Matthia Stewart of Huntsville, Ala., furnishes an example. The colored people get the credit for the all the superstition in this country, but the following from the Chicago Tribune shows that superstition is not confined to our race: "What is the foundation of the 'thirteen' superstition? Why is it, now that we are fully started in the year 1913, that the superstitions are becoming more and more weighted down with the burden of their bac plicable fears? For they are unexplainable—no one can tell you just why they are in such dread of the number if you press them for a reason. "Friday night the chief of police took me out of the cell and choked me till I could not see. My hands were then tied and I was put on a chair and my hands bitched to something against the wall. The chair was then kicked from under me. They then put under me a gun that had in it something to which they applied a match, and I never in all my life smelt such nasty fumes as came from that smoking pan. Of course I screamed to the top of my voice until I became exhausted and almost choked to death by the smoke. I do not know how long they let me hang, but it must have been at least thirty minutes. When they took me down I was as limp as a tag. They then put me and my daughter in the cell again Saturday morning. I began to spot blood and found that I could not walk. My right leg seemed to be dead, and I have not been able to walk since "Nether is it in English speaking countries that the date is a fateful one. You can trace it in France, where the minister postpones the publication of the names of a new cabinet, that the list may not appear on the thirteenth of the month. "You meet with it in Germany, too, where even Bismarck would rather sacrifice a dinner than make one of thirteen at a table. Again you can come across the same superstitious terror in Switzerland in Italy and in Scandinavian country. You find it on the Stock Exchange, and even in gay symical Paris it creeps out, when a holiday tarts on the lath and half the people stay shamefully at home "Sunday morning the rings were found, and they came to me and told me I could go. As I could not walk I was carried home in a carriage, and have been in but ever since, except the day I was carried before the grand jury to tell them about the way I was treated."—Burningham American. This is a case where a white woman lost some diamonds, or rather misplaced them and charged a hird colored with stealing them. If such deeds of atrocity were practiced upon one American in the jungles of Africa gunboats and all other sorts of artillery would soon be playing a tattaa in the land, dealing death and destruction among the heathen for their cruelty, but in the United States it is viewed as an American custom of civilization in it highest form. "An English expelt among statistical lines has recently compiled some valuable information on this question but interesting subject. The superstition, traced back to antiquity, is thought to have its foundation in all Scandinavian countries in mythology. Their ancient gods and goddesses apparently louthed the number, but buck of that none can go. "As for the reason in England two explanations are offered, though probably not one person in one thousand who cherishes the delusion can really tell them. One authority ascribes the whole tradition to the ill luck thought to be associated from the fact that thirteen sat down to the last supper. But why any blighting or pernicious influence should result in mankind from that solemn gathering no man or woman of any sane mind has ever been able to say. Though there are scholars who explain the terror by pointing out that since Judas, who was the first to quit the table, hanged himself, the superstition has come down through the ages since then. Gun toters in Topeka should get what they get in Missouri—a long stay in confinement, or a heavy fine. Such a sentence should be meted out to all who are caught with guns or razors. The police should be given authority to inspect all persons loafing on the streets or in public places, for these idlers are the ones who have time to bother with such instruments of death. In fact there are too many young men in Topeka who exist without working for the good of the city's health. They are seekers of trouble and the rock pile is a splendid cure for then disease. They are a rough class and rough treatment should be their lot. "But there is another and more definite reason for its origin which was only reached after a long and laborious search on the part of a number of learned men. 'The superstition,' they say, 'that where a company of persons amount to thirteen one of them will die within the twelve-month afterward, seems to be founded on the calculations adhered to by the insurance offices which presume that out of thirteen persons taken indiscriminately one will die within the year." Omaha's destructive storm of just Sunday night pales into insignificance when compared to the awful devastation of property and loss of life in the Ohio river valley, where the lives of two thousand or more persons were snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye Tuesday through sweeping flames and raging watres. But if such is the will of God man should not complain. It might mean a saving from a worse fate. "So, apparently, the superstition comes from a ridiculous deduction from Biblical history or from the chance calculations of some forgotten insurance man's computation, whose theory would probably be upset in five minutes by modern authority upon life averages of healthy individuals." The "gat-together" agitation on the part of the politicians of the Republicans and Progressives will avail but little. What one side wants the other side doesn't want it to have. The sum and substance of all the scrap is that both sides want office, and both sides can't have it. So there it goes. The "13" hoodoo is not the only one that is prominent in belief by the American white man. Among some of these are: "Don't sweep the dirt out of the house after dark;" "neven years had luck to break a mirror;" "turning looking-glasses and pictures face to the wall in the hour of death;" "rat crossing your path."

A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber 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 100 acre farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has never $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 inclined 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. One hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very self-factory manner $1,000 to $1,500 worth of machinery The $50 shed will be smaller, than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, 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. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says Farm and Fire side, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board, the uprights C by 24 inches, and two cross-pieces, top and bottom, 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. ```markdown ``` Fusen it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one half mesh cellar window wire, naked or straped to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely vermin proof. Cover barrel with old tin roofing or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of roses the checks are safe from crews or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrels and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting. Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to consume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm What the Lawyers Tell Us. As a general rule, the owner of a vicious animal who has notice of its vicious character is liable for any injury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent, in violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, falls to disent will be held to have ratified and adopted the agent's acts.—R. D. Heyes & Co. Voters Union Pacific Tea Company (VU), 71 Atlantic 261. If you sell food to a middleman, who sells it to the consumer and the seed proves to be diseased to such an extent as to cause disease in the consumer, then you are liable to the consumer for the damage to his health. This is the derision of Judges Noyes in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed by both the landowner and the renter when a rental agreement is commenced. This may avoid a misunderstanding and present trouble. An oral contract should be as blinding as a written agreement, but the oral contract may be forgotten or its stipulations not fully understood. LEXINGTON, MISSOURI.

Farm and Garden Reasons For Its Use by All Interested In Every Form of Live Stock. IN EVERY FORM OF LIVE STOCK. No other subject is receiving so much attention from the experiment stations, farm papers and farmers institutes as the silo. All the great industries depending on live stock are advocating its use. It is a conservation subject of great importance, for with it can be saved a large part of our principal crop. Nearly 40 per cent of the food elements of the corn crop of this country is now wasted. If the use of the silo this could be saved, and by so doing hundreds of millions of dollars could be added to our national wealth. In the past seven years the great stock industry of the United States, in comparison with our population has been showing a decline. This condition ```markdown ``` FEEDING ENSILAGE has been brought about largely by the rise in price of all kinds of stock foods. This in turn has driven many men out of the stock business and discouraged others from going in. With the also the cost of producing stock and stock products can be greatly lowered. Experiments have shown that by the use of the silo in place of the old feeding methods butter can be produced from 9 to 10 cents per pound cheaper and a saving made on the production of beef of from $1.50 to $2 per hundred pounds. Silage, or ensilage, can be made from nearly all kinds of farm forage and is a good and cheap ration for horses, cattle, sheep, swine and chickens. It requires little storage space, is a minor saving device, doubles the value of the corn crop, triples the stock carrying capacity of the land restores the fertility of the soil and returns its user annually 100 per cent on the investment—Farm and Ranch --- FINE WAY TO SAVE. Each farmer should write to the state experiment station and secure the proper fertilizer formula for whatever crop he desires to grow and mix his plant food indoors on main days at a great saving to his profitability and soil conservation means saving, preserving and every dollar which the farmer pays out for the middlemen profits for wages and for freight must eventually come out of the soil.—Cleaner Use No. 12 wire, but No 9 is stronger, from the upper aids of your farm bridges on both sides of the stream to a tree up the bank.

Progressive Farmer "The Lowing of the Kine." The dirty cow should not be required to drink water that a person would be unwilling to drink itself. A good tank heater for the cow's drinking water and a sheltered place for the tank give food and make more milk. After the first week of sleeping and resting the young calf should be allowed to exercise freely in the open air in order to develop muscles, lungs and heart. A concrete door in the only kind that will insure perfect drainage for the cheese mushing room. It will also help to keep the earring room cool to not weather and warm to rain weather. Be careful about feeding last tips to the cattle. Heavy feeding of this material is somewhat dangerous, as it tends to purge animals food in limited quantities and with other feeds. Probably no single cause tends more to check milk secretion than the fall ore to remove all the milk at the time of milking. Many should be shivman. The presence of even a little milk in the ducks may act as a powerful check on the secretion of fresh milk. LINCOLN, NEBRAKKA.

Senator James A. Frontman of Topeka, has issued a call for all Kansas Republicans and Progressives to meet in Topka June 3rd in an effort to "get together" All Republicans and Progressives who desire a reconciliation between the two factions are cordially invited to participate in this gathering. The colored Republicans of the state should not sit in the back seat waiting for others to take action, but should be represented in this big meeting from all sections of the state. When these new lines are drawn and new rules inaugurated the colored brother should have a hand in the making. The colored man has long clung to the Republican party ```markdown ``` through thick and thin, through prosperity and adversity, and though he has been snubbed on many occasions and slapped in the face by those affiliating with the Republican party, but not thoroughly of the party, but in spite of all the colored man has followed on almost as a unit. Deflections from the ranks have been recorded, but only temporarily, and these have been caused by the actions of some man of the party. The colored man has been a follower. Let him now get up in the front ranks, if not a leader, with the leaders. Remember, June 3rd, and be in Topeka. It's going to cost something, but be here. Because we have let the other follow pay our way is the reason he has had the say in all matters.

On Easter Sunday the pastor baptized fifty-four converts at 2:30 p. m., in the little Arkansas river. It was estimated that 10,000 persons witnessed the scene from the banks of the river. There have been ninety additions to the church in the part four weeks. Farmers should not allow their barns or outbuildings that are close to the road to be decorated with the advertisements of articles or the business of merchants of nearby towns. It detracts from the appearance of the farm and gives the place a too much commercialized aspect. A sign of that kind soon becomes an eyesore to both the farmer and his neighbors. What little protection the advertiser's point gives the building is more than offset by its ugly appearance—Northwest Farm and Home HOW TO KILL LAWN BUGS. Various Ways Suggested to New York Botanical Garden Expert. In answer to a call published in the New York Times in W. W. Murrell, acting director of the New York botanical garden, received interesting suggestions relative to the externalization of white gums that have killed many of the towns in New York and velocity by cutting the roots of the grass to meet the soil. It is thought the worm may be pushed by watering the lawns and rolling them with a heavy hoist token. Person is said to be effective, but for an edible insects on bodily injured lawns it is probably best in the fall to plow and sow at once the infested insects with three quarts of white clover seed to the narc. In Muntil is informed that the mature hostles, usually called May beetles or June bugs, may be captured when they emerge from the ground in the late riting of early summer at the end of the third year of the development, by placing tubes of water containing a little kerosene at various points on the lawn with lanterns suspended above them. The insects are attracted in swarms by the lights and finally fall into the tubes, where they are killed by the kerosene. One advantage of this method lies in the fact that a lawn may be protected no matter where the insects originate nor how abundant they may be. WARNING! Washington Experts Want Every One to Look Out For Bad Watch Seed. Warning has been issued by the United States department of agriculture against the purchase of certain lots of low grade hairy vetch seed now being offered by wholesalers. The greater part of this is imported from Europe. Recent lots have been found to contain from 15 to 50 per cent of hairy vetch seed, the remainder being forms of spring vetch not hardy in the northern states or various species of wild vetches of doubtful value. The seed of hairy vetch is spherical varying from three thirty-seconds to five thirty seconds of an inch in diameter, averaging about one eighth of an inch. The seeds of most other vetchies are more or less lens shaped, flattened at the ends and varying in size, spreading a small quantity of the mixed seed on a cardboard and gently shaking it the hairy vetch will roll off, leaving behind most of the vetch seed that has been used as an adulterant. The color of hairy vetch seed—grayish black, with a greenish tinge if fresh—is another test; also the lemon color of the crushed seed. Back For a Kettle. Take a piece of iron two inches wide and one half inch thick and long enough to make a hoop to do your kettle, make a hoop out of it and weld it together, then take three pieces of iron about an inch in diameter and about a foot long and weld to the hoop for legs. The legs can of course, be made any length desired, but the legs on the rack shown are about a foot long. This gives plenty of room for wood, and there is no danger of the kettle falling. An other plan may be to use gun pipes with the legs set in the pipe—Jown Home stead Orchard and Garden. A neglected separagus bed on the place is of little commercial value, and to take up the old crowns and reset them would be unwise when young plants can be obtained at a moderate cost and a new bed planted at much less expense. Save all of the wood ashes and apply them to the orchard. They supply potash, which is a necessary element of fertility. In addition to the plant food value of ashes, they benefit the mechanical condition of the soil in making it mellow and friable. When the temperature drops so low some of these nights hang a lighted lantern in the cellar, about a foot from the door, making sure it cannot fall and set fire to the house. The heat from it may be enough to save the fruit and vegetation from freezing. Farm and Garden Attempts to Grow Fruit Without Fertilizer Are Not Encouraging. The Illinois agricultural experiment station has conducted fertilizer experiments with machines at Anna, in Union county, and at Kimmundy, in Minton county, for several years. The chief objects of the experiments were to determine the relative efficiency of different amounts of manure and methods of application of manure, the effect of supplementing manure with commercial forms of the potassium, the effect of using a complete commercial fertilizer in connection with manure and the effect of substituting commercial fertilizer for manure in the production of Gum mucins. In both localities the experiments were conducted on typical malon soil of the region, that at Anna being unglazed yellow soil loan and that at Kimmundy gray soil loan After it is known relations without manure were not very encouraging. When the complete comparative fertilizer was used in the fields in place of manure the yields were greatly reduced. This was especially method in the field J Photographer: Jennifer Solitane expert HALY LOT. THE MARKET planted crop where many plants were killed outright by the fertilizer and the maturing of the melons was greatly delayed until that survived. Stemmed bone appoach to the bulbs gave fair results, but the yields were smaller than from the use of mature in the hills, and so prevents the plants were "burned" by fertilizer especially in the field planted up. The chee plot without the mulch fertilizer produced small yields especially in the field planted where the melons and cherries were The results of experiments referred to in this work indicate that the influence of different methods of fertilizing the plants are more marked upon them. But a transplanted crop that the most satisfactory result out of the two are likely to be secured is better to amount of well-irradiated plants. BACK TO THE FARM" Let a year have sympathies are natural with the land and out how best to get enjoyment out of it and that they will remain a farmer. The day will come, is now at hand, in fact, when boys, will not be rushing to the office, but will be hurrying back out of the cities to the land, answering the voice within them which insists and certain that they can achieve a comfortable living after they have done so. - Raymond A. Pearson, President Iowa State Agricultural College Geese Like Grazing Land. Geese live almost entirely by grazing. Marsh lands that grow a plentiful supply of excellent grasses are excellent for them provided such lands are adjacent to higher places where other grasses or a mixture of the grass growing in the marsh lands and that on the rough hillside makes a latter ration for them than other land alone. In almost every locality there are rough or wash lands that cannot be cultivated. These might be made profitable of oil for pasturing grasses. Marsh lands furnish a supply not only of fish, jelly, praises, but of small, water beetles, worms, and bugs that grow in such places. Small fish, tones and frogs are all eagerly eaten by geese.

In the summer of 1819, a new writer, there are three parallels of farmers in the new farmer, who is the progressive business agriculturist, the old farmer, once up with him times, the pioneer with a wholly human love of work but little ability as an admin trainer, and the cowshark or the old farmer who has gone to work who does not love work and is hopelessly lost in modern cow petition. He is a trager upon the program of agriculture and an obstruction in the wheels of the country community organization. The new farmer will take care of himself and the old farmer and the cowshark are capably disguising, and the national idea is the idea of taking both the implication and hint that the new farmer is given.
