AGRICULTURAL POSITION OF KAN.
sAs.
The Monthly report for April, of the
State Board of Agriculture contaius
the following interesting facts con-
cerning the rank of Kansas in the
crop and stock operations of the year
1888.
The corn product of Kansas has been
g rowing from year to year, until in
1883 the State was the second in rank
in number of bushels harvested, the
great State of Illintis being alone in
advance.
In the table by States, on page of
the March report, 1t will be observed
that Kansas had, in 1888, 15S, ,976, 1928
bushels of merchantable corn, which
Is nearly twice the amount grown in
any other State. Although the aver
age price per bushel is much lower in
Kansas than the average price for the
United States, yet the money received
by our farmers for the last crop of
nlerchantable corn is in excess of that
received by the farmers Uf any other
State by Sl5, 100000. -
Among the States Kansas stands
fifth in number of bushels of wheat
harvested. There were, In 1883, eleven
States that had more than 100000
head of cattle within their borders;
among these Kansas ranks as sixth.
The average loss among cattle in the
United States for the year 1883 was 4.3
per cent, while the loss in Kansas for
the same period was but per cent.
This Is remarkable showing, when it
is understood that large proprtion of
the cattle in western Kansas have
been almost entirely without shelter,
aud had as feed but little besides the
"buffalo grass" throughout the entire
year. The largest per cent. of loss in
lack of shelter and insufficient food.
When Kansas shall be as fully equip
ped with farm buildings as are the old
er and Weather States, the per cent.
of loss will materially decrease. For
the United States the per cent. Of high
grade cattle, or "those that have more
than one-half pure blood of all breeds
of thoroughbreds," Is 10, while for Kan
sas the per cent. is 2l. Our stockmen
are steadily and persistently improving
the quality of cattle. and that SO young
State as Kansas should have larger
per cent. of high-grade cattle than the
country at large, clearly indicates that
the business is being conducted by in
telligent and progressive men.
The loss in the United States among
sheep was per cent, and for Kansas
was the same. The want of appro-
pirate shelter in western Kansas con-
tributed largely to this result. The
business of sheep-husbandry is profit
able In this State, when conducted
with care, and the annual loss from ex-
posure and neglect is rapidly declining.
The loss among swine in Kansas
last year was but 8 per cent, while
the average loss in the United States
was S.6 per cent. This small loss can
be attributed to the abundance of good
food and the natural adaptability of
the State to this kind of industry.
Kansas ranks seventh among the
States in numbers of swine.
Altogether. the showing of the de-
partment is very flattering to Kansas
Being one of the younger members of
the Union of States, the hiph rank OBJ
tanned thus early, clearly indicates
bright and promising future.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side Of a plate Of
hard nickel composition metal and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sOlidty while
the pritten guarantee of the manufacturers
uazrantinq each case to wear trenty years
proves that it contains oil the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many OF
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, Ia, Dec II 1ssn
