AFARNeR'S LETTER.

1t Is not yet too late to plant trees al
though some kinds are too far sdvanc-
cd to remove safely. Cottonwood. box
elder, and locust, may be trahsplanted
even after leafing out. For seeds and
cuttings the soil Is in first rate condi-
ton after the late rains. To plant tree
seeds the ground should be plowed
deeply now. well narrowed down and
marked every four feet. A nice smooth
mark can be made by running the
pillow slanting on the Landslide, thus
making drill deepest in the middle,
SO the seeds will roll toward the mid
die insuring a straight line A deep
drill will during cultivation gradually
I'LL up, thus preventing weeds from
springing up In the row. The seeds
Of ash, box-elder, walnut and locust
grow redily and quickly in moist wealth
er. Cuttings can be made of cotton.
wood, willow and mulberry any time
before leafing out and IL buried deep
In the soil can be kept yet several weeks
before planting in their proper places.
Dy using U iISuc C1Io every iuIueI
could have q little timber nursery on
his farm which would be Q source Of
profit and pleasure. A dozen rows
ten or twenty rods long Of assorted
seedlings will give an indefinite sup
ply of trees for transplanting for years
to come. and will give an impetus to
plant out some trees every year where
no trees would be planted II q farmer
had to buy every little tree.
Every farmer who has not done 80
already should plant yet some trees or
grove around his house or stable aside
from the shelter and shade they afford
to man and beast there il nothing that
improves the looks of ever SO humble
q place and nothing that adds so much
to the permanent value of farm a.
trees will. Trees grow while we sleep.

THE FARM
kA,ssAs PAST, PaEseMT 81 FvTuaE

kAaeoAS: PAST, PaEseMT ~ FvrUoE
In speaking Of Kansas I mean the
central portion Of the State, that part
with which am acquainted.
It Il not % much the States fault
- the peoples that Kansas b not
among the best States in the Union.
It h . better State for stock than farm
ing. The farmer b his own worst enc
my. He hes for the pest seven ysaEs
depended too much on wheat, which
has broken more men In Kansas than
II has made. Wheat ID too expensive.
You have got to buy expensive ma-
chinery to harvest II and pay the high
est wages for help. The farmers don't
seem to think that while they are
paying out i've hundred dollars for
machinery they ought TO invest any
dollars In lumber to shed that ma
chinery. They leave their plows out
In the fields. II the farmers will per-
sist In raising wheat, let them take
care of their farming untsnsils- II
they would pay les attention 10 wheat
and more attention to corn, cattle and
hogs, they would find II more prolita-
BILE. There II not 90 much cash ex-
pense In raising corn. A man can
plant, cultivate and husk his corn
without much cash expense. The
farmer depends too much on wheat.
One or twogood crops raises his hopes,
inducing him to build . house or 90 In
debt for machinery. The consequence
Of 1t was, he failed. He owes for the
machinery while 1t stands rotting on
the farm.
The above has been the past state Of
things We will now deal with the
future. Let every farmer raise stock.
The cry will be that they will be too
much trouble. You can get them
herded for twenty cents . month. II
you can't buy moro than one, buy
that, and put In the herd. You can
take care Of il In the winter yourself.
You will be surprised ut the amount
Of cattle you can have by buying few
every spring.
MY advice il, not to invest In cattle
until the present high prices are done
with and the deal In cattle takes .
milder form.
People are now - crazy over cattle
aS they have been over wheat When
Kansas has all the cattle Il can feed
then we can look for better times

CONSUMPTION.

It is said that 5000 people die an
nually in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is
from Consumption. This can be, and
should be avoided; our people are too
careless about an ordinary cough or
cold, and other symptoms of throat
and lung affections that lead to this
disease. You should arrest it while
it is in the germ. Two or three doses
of DIR. Bosanko's Cough and Lueg
Syrup will relieve an ordinary cough
or cold. 1t does not dry up a cough
like many preparations on the market
and leave the disease behind it, but
acts directly on the throat and bron-
chial tubes, removing all the phlegm
and morbid matter that accumulates
in the throat and lungs. 1t allays all
irritation, aud renders the voice clear
and distinct. Sold by f. a. Baker.
