PLANT A HOME.
Young beginners in life's morning

Young beginners in ife's morning,
Don't forget the rainy day,
Sunshine cannot last forever,
Or the heart be always gay.
Save the dime and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam
Choose some blooming spot of beauty,
Some fair lot to plant home.
You, too, who have babes around you,
Coming up to take your place,
Give them something to remember
Homestead memories let them trace.
Would you feel the pride of manhood.
Let the sun your dwelling greet,
Breathe the blessed air of freedom,
Own the soil beneath your feet.
You, too, who perhaps have squandered
Life's fair morn, It's not too late,
Start at once to WOO bright Fortune,
Rail no more at so called fate.
Sow the golden seeds of saving,
In the rich and quickening loan,
Spend your last days not with strangers,
Enter Heavens gate from home.

REV. Henry Ward Beecher preached
against the practice of cremation Sun
day. He said that "the idea of the
resurrection of the body would
present a lasting objection to the pa
gan custom of burning the dead.
There might be sanitary reasons in
crowded populations, or reasons of
preference in favor of cremation, but
all the beliefs Of English and German
speaking people We're violated by the
idea of such disposition of bodies"

The Cost OF RUNNING A TRAIN
The average cost of running an ordi-
nary passenger train of from six to
ten coaches is from 81 to$1, Is mile
This may seem large at first, but when
the several items are taken into ac-
count one will suspect, after all, that
the estimate is too small. One of the
principal items is the running of the
locomotive. 1t has been the study Of
master mechanics to reduce the cost
of running an engine, and each claims
to be a little closer in his calculations
than the other. The average cost
during January of running the engine s
on the Bee Line, for example, was
15.77 cents per. mile. Freight engines
run at cost per. mile of 1913 cents.
Passenger engines cost less, viz, 17.24
cents per mile while switch engines,
which are credited with so much mil
cage per day, regardless Of the dis
tances run, are run at so low a cost as
| to reduce the average to l5.77 cents
per mile. The engines ran 4.63 miles
to ton of coal, and 1888 miles to a
pint of oil. Added to the expense of
motive power is the outlay for wear
and tear of cars it is estimated that
it costs 8 cents a mile to keep sleep
ing car running, and the wages of
train hands. etc.

Hutchinson Interior: Mr.. J. B.. White
OF Valley called a few DAYS ago with
specimens OF wool from his flock which
were very line, measuring in length, over
three inches and weighing from ten to
IWelVe pounds. He also showed us a
specimen OF wool from his stock ram that
we 90 not think can be beat in the State

saw and SHARED overweight pounds.
1t pays to raise good stock, and Mr..

Manhattan Nationalist. L. II. Patter-
son struck the Kansas City market last
week with tWo-thirds of a carload of
hogs, just in time to get taste of the
panic, receiving S5O5 for his stock, in
stead OF $40, the market price the day
previous. He says that there were 100
carloads of stock carried over Thursday
night, and that the next day was indeed
"black Friday" Local banks would
not honor exchange on Eastern houses,
and SO buyers were not able to purchase.
Confidence was soon restored, however,

Burlington Independent: Mr.. Wood, of
Big Greek, lost a very valuable horse a
few days ago, and came very near losing
another one, caused by the sting of bees.
He drove into town and tied his team to
the wagon on vacant lot near the resi-
dence of John Henderson, who owns a
number of sWarms of bees. In a short
time the bees settled on the horses and
stung them in frightful manner. One
of the horses died in the course Of a day
or so, and the other is so badly stung as
to be almost worthless. They were
pitiable objects to look at.

KANSAS FARMING.
Noteworthy Incidents Among the Farmers
of the State.

Noteworthy Incidents Among the Farmers
of the State.
Grain is already heading out in
the Great American Desert of Rice
county.
It is estimated that Mcpherson county
will export 100000 bushels of wheat of
the coming crop.
Manhattan Republic: Mr.. ChiIds left
in our Office recently a hop vine 81 feet
in length; this is good year for vines
and trees.
Fall River Echo: Prairie squirrels are
taking more than their share of the crops
in neighborhoods = especially on the
head of Shawnee.
Every well regulated farm will have a
pasture in tame grasses within year.
There is no trouble about grass culture
in this part of the State, says a Manhat-
tan farmer. ,a.
This is about the sentiment all over
the State in regard to fruit: Cherries,
pears, apples, plums, currants and grapes
show themselves among the foliage, and
some varieties of berries will make a
good crop, but "dem peaches all done
gone afore dey got heah."
Manhattan Nationalist: The other day
when wheat was 80 cents in Kansas
City, our Touring mills were paying 50
cents, difference of II cents in favor OF
the home market. We believe our people
appreciate the many advantages which
our mills afford, but isn't this a point
in their favor which we have over
looked?
Manhattan Nationalist Henry Barnes
manager of the Gen. Easement place, in
forms us that they are now making one
hundred pounds of cheese a day, fol
which there is a ready sale. He is seed
| this Spring, which is evidence that he
acknowledges their superiority.
Jewell Republican: The greatest nat
ural curiosity on earth can be seen by
calling at Barnhill's butcher shop, in
the shape of pig having seven well de
veloped legs and eight feet, having two
perfect feet on one leg. Mr.. Thornburg
living two miles north and one mile cas-
of town, has two pigs with six leg
each, fully developed, living and doing
well.

pect for the future promises an abundan
supply. The report now shows $40

and our nurseryman reports much large

have all other fruits in proportion. Their
is a vast country west of us to be sup
piled with fruit for many years, and tn
farmer who has a good thrifty orchart
will make money out of it.
Garnett Republican: VIM. Manner
handed us some samples of growing
wheat which he gathered a short tim
ago. The specimens measured 80 inche
in height, and were all headed out AM
almost filed. It was taken from R. II
bIoore's field, and Mr.. Manners says tina
although the specimens handed us Wert
selected, yet the whole field will bt
fully that far along by the time this pa
