HAh1os
The severe frosts last Saturday and Sunday
have brought the corn factory of Burnham Il
Morrill, to an earlier close this year than for sew
eral years past as also the cucumber business
which Messrs. E. D.Pettengill & Co., have
been doing in this vicinity. This caused coz
siderable loss to the farmers as some had from
one TO three acres of sweet corn utterly spoiled
for canning and others on low lands lost heavi-
~ on their cucumbers The Messrs. Pettengill
have had some 70 acres of cucumbers
planted in this station and during the height of
the season three carloads day were shipped
from this section. At the corn factory some
new apparatus was introduced this season so
that while the season lasted more WORK could
be accomplished in day than ever before.
Some $4,000 cans of succotash were put up ev-
cry day on an average this year. Several farm
ers who planted largely had their corn refused
at the factory on account of its having q red
cob.
The apple crop throughout the country is re-
ported as large and the prices talked are low,
especially on early fruit. But the Maine APP
pies have acquired SO excellent reputation
for shipping that the prices on winter fruit
will doubtless be such as to make the apple
crop the most profitable one the farmer raises.
PITrsToN.
Capt A. johnson of Pittston had several
COWS at pasture this Summer, and last week
undertook to take them in. A four year old
Jersey was very wild, but they managed to
catch her and get rope around her horns,
but she broke away again, and has been per-
teotly crazy since. Capt. johnson got man
with rifle to 60 out and shoot her, but they
couldn't even get near enough to her to do
that, and at last accounts she was still run
ming in the pasture, with the rope dragging
from her head.

KANSAS FARMING.

Noteworthy Incidents Among the Farm
ers o. the State.
A large acreage of wheat will be sown
in Smith county this year.
Alma Meas: Farmers are blowing for
oats though the bottom lands have been
decidedly wet for the last few days.
Hanover Democrat: Winter wheat and
rye look well in this part of Kansas, and
the prospect is now favorable for large
crop.
Lacrosse CIsiettGin: Our farmers are
confident that Rush county will be
favored with abundant crops of every
kind this season.
Clay Center Times Tom Wheeler, OF
Bloom township, brought to our Office
this week several ears of bloody butcher
corn, raised on his farm on the river
bottom, that are hard to beat. He has
tested the corn and is convinced it will
grow.

Oskaloosa Independent: The prospect
for wheat about Nortonville was perhaps
never better. Formerly in favorable sea-
sons wheat has shown more 1uxuriant
growth, but past experience goes to show
That such rank growth in Spring Is not
always conducive of a good yield OF
grain.
Arcadia Reporter The wheat crop in
this section of Crawford county never
looked better. Our farmers are cheer
full, and they are now inVigorated with
strong hopes at the good prospects for
the wheat crop. The fields are green all
over, and as many supposed great dam
age was done to the crop, are now sur
prised at the life seen and shooting up
as if no severe Winter had ever visited it.
LaCygne Journal Most of the wheat
in Valley is in fine condition to grow as
soon as Spring opens. I noticed many
fields of wheat lately and they are per
fectly green. I could not see the ground
at short distance. I have talked to a
good many of the old farmers and they
pronounce the wheat in finer condition
now than it has been for years. There
is more wheat sown in this section than
for many years.

Amazed Counle.

Cor. The Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Terre Haute, ILL.,, March 20.-Some
time since your correspondent noticed
an aged couple in this town who were
aged respectively 90 and 96 years, and
had been married for over seventy-seven
years. We suppose they were the oldest
in wedlock Of any couple in the State.
Tho subject of this notice, Mrs. susanna
Allen, wife of Amasa Allen, died at the
residence of her son, Joseph, on Tues
day. March 18th, being 90 years, 3
months and II days old. She was mar
ried to Amasa Allen August 10Th, 1906.
To them twelve children were born,
seven of whom preceded the mother to
the grave; five with the aged father sur
vive. Mr.. and Mrs. Allen were both
born in the State of New York. They
came to this place in 1855, where they
have since resided. This aged couple
enjoyed the respect and esteem of wide
circle of relatives and friends, living
quiet and upright lives, fully meriting
the tokens of respect they have received.
Mr.. Allen, although four years the old
est, has good eyesight, being able to tell
the time of day by any kind of a watch
or distinguish still smaller objects; also
his hearing is good. We hope this aged
veteran may be able to celebrate his
109th anniversary.

One weakness Mr.. Childs has is fond

private Office; some valuable for their
historic associations, some because of
their exquisite workmanship, and some
because of the rare value of their cases
one, in particular, made of lapis laZuli,
being worth its weight in gold. Alto

his private Office, he has fifty clocks,
worth $4,000. It is not strange, therefore,
