KANSAS FARMING.
Notes and Incidents Among the Farmers Of
the State

Notes and Incidents Among the Farmers Of
the State.
n. II. Pixley, who resides near Wa
mego, has raised about 5000 bushels Of
sweet potatoes this season.
Clay Center Dispatch: NJ. A. Brown,
of Blaine township, brought in about q
bushel Of the finest peachblOW potatoes
we ever saw. They were raised from
four hills.
Minneapolis Messenger: Martin Weav-
er, four miles east of town, has Just
threshed 900 bushels of wheat from 20
acres of land. This is big yield for an
upland farm.
Onaga Journal: Z. D. Leinbach, resid-
ing southeast of this city, has a seven
acre field Of clover that is hard to beat
in any country. The seed was soWn last
Spring with wheat, and the field now is
almost a solid clover sod.
At an agricultural picnic held at Gre
nOla, Kansas, Silas Taylor, of Elk coun-
ty, exhibited a load of twenty-eight
pumpkins averaging fifty pounds each,
that grew on one vine, which without
counting its branches, measured $500
feet.
Minneapolis Messenger: A. Z. Hilands
called on us and laid on our table six Of
the biggest, finest and best sweet pOta-
toes ever seen. They are whOppers, for
a fact. The largest one weighs 8 pounds
and the aggregate weight Of the lot is
354 pounds. We would like to see the
lot that will beat them.
Paola Republican: A novelty at the
Fair was a bunch of chestnut branches
with chestnuts in the burr, raised by DR..
j. III. Firebaugh on his farm in Johnson
county. He has a half acre of these
trees, which he planted fifteen years
ago. They have Just begun bearing and
win this year yield about a half bushel
Of nuts.
Osborne Farmer: Messrs. Walrond &
Mitchell, attorneys for w. +. Cochran,
have forwarded the final proof of his
timber entry in Lawrence township to
the U. S. Commissioner at washington.
There are at least 1900 trees growing
on five acres of land, a showing that the
north western land district is CHALLENGED
to equal.
Council Grove Cosmos: James A. John
son, Of KelsO, showed rs two large apples
this week, which fairly take the cake
/ over anything we have seen this season
They measured fourteen inches In cir
conference and weighed a pound and 6
/ quarter each. They are called the

Making Butter.

Much has been written about making
butter, some of it good and some Of it
not so good: but 1 have failed to see any
good advice given to those keeping but
one or two COWS. 1t seems to me we
should try to make as good an article for
home consumption as tor market, Re
cent experience in buying butter has
brought the subject fOrcibly to mind
We had the misfortune to get butter
very nice looking on the outside, but
when we cut We found it variegated.
Now I admire flowers Of this description,
but no butter. When I was married, a
dozen wears ago, 1 left my home in g Yam
kee," Ere county, Pa, and have since
made my home in "Pennymite," Wenan-
90 county. Before coming here j had
scarcely hearC Of such a thing as milk
ing strippings" for butter or cream; but
as this is the practice here WesOOn learn
ed it.
When milking, divide the milk-that
is, milk the last part by itself, and after
cooling put it into the cream crock; any
cream not used for table or otherwise is
also added. / churn at least twice a
week, and in warm weather Oftener, and
we have good, sweet butter, other things
being favorable. My theory is that it
takes so long to gather enough cream for
a S-4uLA AL4E LA4c1J II DCCC---Co OAN- plsSD4146
before churning. Another trouble I had
at first was to make butter of uniform
color and not variegated. wanted to
make a nice article, but why was it so
streaked, light and dark? At last an
'Old maid" told me that 1 did not work
the salt well through it when first work
ing. She also said that no amount of
after-manipulation would remove this
difficulty. l fOOn found this to be cor
rect, and now can make as nice, sweet
butter from one COW as can be made
from half a dozen. Mrs. G. E. JACK.

Feeding Colts.

Early maturity for swine and cattle
has been advised as the best farm prac-
tice for the largest return In pork and
beef. But there is a difference, as the
Home Farm reminds US; between the OBJ
jects in view in raising pigs and horses.
In the one case weight alone is wanted,
and fat-forming foods (the chiefof which
is corn) are used. In the other it is mus
Gle that is wanted, and about the poorest
food that can be given TO a young colt is
corn. Of course, you can, with corn,
shove it forward and make astonishing
weights, and possibly sell at a big price.
But let this practice become universal, as
it threatens to be, and the people who
use horses viii soon refuse your stock at
any price. CATTLE and hogs are bought
for fat, horses for muscle. The difference
is as wide as 1t can possibly be.
There must be different feed and differ
ent treatment. What the colt wants is
plenty of exercise, a clean place to sleep,
shelter from the bitter storms, plenty Of
good grass of different varieties, good,
clean hay without dust, and good, sound
oats. Colts raised in this way will not
look so well, nor win as many premiums,
nor sell to fools for as much money, but
they viii have sound limbs and eyes,
great endurance and weight, speed
enough for their various purposes, and
they will last.

1t was Not Maggie.
Boston Traveller

Boston lrAVGlAers
Johnny Malone, a New York boot
black; went down to Castle Garden with
a companion to meet his sister, whom he
had left in Ireland four years ago. They
arrived just as the immigrants were
landing, and Johnny accosted one of
them with the question: And do you
know Maggie Malone that crossed in the
ship with you?" II did know her" was
the reply, "but she died the third day
out, and they buried her at sea-" John
ny staggered against a beach, by means
Of which he supported himself. After a
moment of silent grief the young man
turned to his companion, in whose eyes
tears are standing, and said: 81 don't
mind it so much myself, Ed, but my
mOther-it will break her heart"
With this he burst into tears. His
friend tried to comfort Johnny. The
latter glanced around the garden in a
discOnsOlate manner, and then suddenly
sprang up with a whOOp that would have
done justice to a wild Indian. The
youth leayed in among the immigrants,
and in an instant was holding in his
arms a bright-eyed, pretty little Irish
girl. who called him "BrOther Johnny"
and Wept for Joy. "She's here, Ed; it's
all right Come here ]" yelled the in
dependent youth to his Obedient patron.
It was Mary, not Maggie, Malone who
died on the steamer The third day out.
But somebody's heart viii break for
Mary.

Mammoth Pippin," and the tree on
which they We're raised bore about TWO
bushels averaging about the same size.
Wa Keeny World: We have been
shown an apple and a peach from the
orchard Of George w. Kessler, who lives
two miles south of COllyer. Both the
apple and peach are of excellent flavor
and Of full growth, and coming from an
orchard only four years old, speak vol
umes in favor of this as a fruit growing
county. Mr.. Kessler also raised large
quantities Of cherries both this and last
season.
Belle PLANE NesC8: Mrs. Uriah Nc
Kinney brought in several pears which
grew on limb or sprOut of a pear tree
that grew entirely this season. The
growing Of fruit tree in one season
within few months, as it Were-so as to
bear fruit at the same time or season, IS
a horticultural freak or miracle" that
can be produced in no other State but
Kansas, and no wonder Mrs. Mckinney
IS proud to be able to furnish such pro
ductiOn from her orchard.
Kansas Farmer: One of the principal
studies of the farmer should be to keep
his land free from weeds and trash
Green weeds, if put on the compost heap,
or if plOWed deep under ground, make
good manure. But weeds left to grow
and seed the ground are as bad as the
Sheriff with a warrant of ejectment.
Every farmer now has a moving ma
chine, or he can get the use of one, so
that there Is no good reason for letting
weeds take any farm, or field or garden.
Harlan Republican: Mr.. II. R.
Curtis has on exhibition a large white
elephant squash, raised by Mr.. Davis.
1t weighs 1875 pounds, and in the absence
Of any record to the contrary, we feel
justified in saying it is the largest in the
world. 1t weighs So pounds more than
the biggest exhibited at the Iowa State
fair, and so pounds more than the one
at the Nebraska State fair. 1t is to be
sent to New Orleans and exhibited at
the Worlds fair as a sample of what can
be raised in Shelby county. If anybody
can beat it we should like to hear from
them.

1. The attention of Post Commanders,
Adiutants and Quartermasters is again
called to the necessity of having their
quarterly reports promptly forwarded to
the Assistant Adjutant General, thus saw
ing the department the expense of send
ing the District Inspectors to perform.
II. Circular No. 1, current series, de-
failing the manner Of making these re-
ports, has been forwarded to each Post
Commander. Careful reading of this
circular will enable any COmrade in the
Department to make these reports.
III The representation of Posts in
the next Department Encampment viii
be made upon the basis of this, the Third
Quarterly Report. Posts that fail to for
ward this report will not be entitled to
representation. VIII it be said Of any
Post in this Departmental has no voice
in the management of the affairs of our
order in the Department Encampment-
by reason of the failure of its officers to
perform their duties?

tween Freedom and Slavery, the home

rebellion, has less than 10000 members
of the O.. A. R." Is not somebody at
fault In this matte? Think of it, com
rades; are you, each of you, doing your
duty? With the number Of Posts we
have in the Department, we should,
during the remaining quarter Of this
year, make the largest gain ever made
in any Department.
V. tt is therefore urged upon each
Department and Post officer and COM
rade to take hold of the good work, and
swell our ranks. With united efforts our
numbers can be increased 10000 mem
bers by Dec. 13, 1884. Think of the good
we can dO-think what we have already
accomplished. A cOmrade of our order
in April, 1882, conceived the idea of es-
tablishing a Soldiers Home in Kansas
1t was approved by his Post; a committee
appointed, and by this committee car
ried into our Department Encampment
In 1888. The Encampment appointed
committee to press the matter before

Bitter Cream.

Our milk cellar is in the center of the
main large cellar, which has brick floor,
and is dry. The milk cellar is walled in,
has a door and window, and is well ven
tilated, but we cannot prevent the cream
and butter from contracting a bitter taste.
Our COW is a fine Attorney, and gives an
abundance of rich milk. Every precautiOn
possible is used to have the cellar, and
everything belonging to it, clean and
sweet. Have you any suggestion to make
by which this bitter taste can be pre-
vented? Would keeping a quantity of
lime in the cellar be useful? A. Camden
~. j. lin the absence of local informa-
ton we can only offer conjecture. If the
cream is made bitter by leaving it too
long on the milk, an examination Of the
milk would determine. More probably,
the bitter taste comes from some defect
in the food Of the COW, but this can be
ascertained only from local examination.
withdrawing the milk-rOOm might be
tried. Can any reader give information
on the matter?7

Denver has struck another bonanza,

ate as much excitement as the Pisgah
Mountain fraud, but the sickIy deniZens
of the foothills stand a show of being

sis that the water from the 9OO-foct vein
of the artesian well. to which the County
Commissioners are sinking in the court
house yard, possesses the same proper
ties as those of the famous Spa water in
Germany. 1t is impregnated with car
Donate of iron and carbonic acid. 1t is
free from ali organic impurities, and
contains, further, many of the most fam
Gus qualities of curative waters. The
water flows at the rate of 2,IOO gallons
per diem, but its pressure shows that it
be raised in a pipe to a height of l2O feet
above the surface. The main flow yields
5000 gallons per diem, and can be raised
seventy-one feet above the surface of the
earth

GRAND ARMY GLEANNGs.


Newton KanSaR: In a discussion in
the National Tribune as to the youngest
drummer boy IN the late war, it trans
PRED that Prof. J. j. Falkenstine, of
Smith Center, entered the army as
drummer boy at the age of eight years
and ten months and served three years
and ten months continuously.
Manhattan Mercury: DR.. Pattee, Post
Surgeon, came TO WamegO and attended
one John Witt, of POttaWatOmie county
who had been injured in the G. A. r.
sham battle by the discharge of one of
the cannon. His right arm was torn into
shreds, necessitatlng amputatiOn. At
last accounts he was doing well. Anoth-
er of the same artillery squad had his
thumb blown off.
T. J. Shelton, Of the Wichita Times
gives his record as the youngest soldier
IN the Union army who did a mans ser
vice. He says: 1.-THE old family Bible
says that we were born in Princeton,
KY, June 18th, 1849. We enlisted in
Co. D, 18th Kentucky Mounted Infantry,
in August, 1862; was Camped at Prince
ton, and remained with the regiment

San Francisco Bulletin.
The bonded debt of American railroads
is given at SIS, la, $4,000. The future
has been mOrtgaged by them for a whole
century, that is to say up to 1884. That
must be regarded as a long step in the
dark. In the present year S14,000O0O of
this amount only natures, but next year
the figures will be $38,O0O,OOO. The
largest sum to mature in any one year is
1920, 424 $50, but that is a long way Off
1924. The smallest amount to mature in
the century ahead Of US is $50 900, but
that viii not occur till 1910. Perhaps if
no greater burdens are placed on it, that
will be regarded as a red-letter year
when it comes around. But there will
be some squirming from 1891 to 1900,
during which period S608 ,053 ,145 Of rail-
road Indebtedness falls due. The first
decade Of the new century will be a very
lively period for "Our successors" In
that interval $917, 534, 958 will have to be
paid
