WITHDRAWN.

The railroad will not be built north
west from here this winter. The COM
pany has decided not to construct the
line until spring. In consequence
the proposition that had been SUBMIT
ed in Garden township has been with
drawn. This will be good news TO the
men who feared that the building of
the line would injure the town by taxi
ing away some of the trade that has
been coming from Garden and Emma
townships TO this city. 1t is probably
part of compromise recently made
between Gould and Adams in regard
to the occupancy of territory. For
our own part we hope the delay is but
temporary, and that work will be re-
sumed and the road constructed in the
spring.-Newton Republican.

Mr. Bell. one of the Murdoch car
penters, will start for Lane county
with his family next Monday.
Mr.. Gore spent several days in
Kingman this week. lie is having a
business house erected at Norwich,
and intends to move there in a few
days and open grocery store.
Mr. Dunlapp, from district sixty
enc. was here this week having some
legal business attended to before Es-
quire McAlistcr. 1t appears that some
one has sued his district for some
money which was owing, and the
board is determined to give him the
full benefit Of the law.
Tne Misses Simpson, from west OF
kingman. and several other young Ia
dies, whose names | have not learned,
have moved here to attend the Muir
dock school this winter
Mr. Davis, accompanied by his wife
and grand daughter, arrived here the
18th. on their return from a visit to
Iddiana. Mr.. Davis owns a fine ranch
south of this place, and is one of the
staunch men of kingman county.
G. W. Gardener, one of our leading
lumber dealers made a flying visit to
Wichita Yesterday. He is having some
fine work done on his new residence
in the north part of town. When il
is finished and painted, it will be the
most handsome DIV Cling in town.
Murdoch may well be proud of her
new school house. 1t Is 4 handsome

carpenters and painters is nearly al
completed. Only the south room will
be fully competed and furnished this
fall. The school will commence nexi
Monday, ID. W. Walker, teacher. The
school will be rather large this winter
for one teacher, and hardly large
enough for two. but at the rate the

long be the case. MURDoCUS.

a petition containing over twenty
one hundred names was, yesterday,
presented to the county commission
ers, asking that an election be called
to vote county aid TO the Omaha, Alb.
ilene and Wichita railroad, and the
otficia compliance with the request
will be found elsewhere in tO-day'e
Record. ''This is the way we long
have sought" Seven or eight years
ago we had a map made of north
and south road through this county
and printed it in the Record. and now
that dream seems about 10 be realized
The proclamation comes too near our
press time for us TO refer to il al
length. We shall, however, heartily
support it, and believe enough good
solid argument can be made in behalf
of the proposition to convince every
man in the county that it would be
a good investment. If any are dis
posed TO oppose the proposition we
trust they will withhold judgment and
not commit themselves against il til
the arguments are all in. We mus

The telephone line between this
city, Saratoga, Minnesota and King

evening the citizens here are enjoy
ing themselves with a free talk over
the wire. to Kingman. MANY of the
business men of that city took in the
sport and for nearly an hour. the new
ly built line carried lively converse
ton between the two towns. The
line completed. including instrument,
has cost less than two thousand dol
lars, and we are informed that almost
the entire expense has been met by
the kingman people. 1t would seem
to be the proper thing now for Wich-
ita to take hold and connect itself by
telephone with the lively business
towns in Kingman and Pratt counties.
The expense of building it from King
man TO Wichita would not be quite as
much as the western end has cost, and
there are several good towns between
that would no doubt be glad TO con-
tribute some aid TO such an enterprise.
have been informed by the mer-
chants of Saratoga and Pratt Center
that line thro ugh to Wichita would
be great convenience to them, as it
would save two DAYS time in order
ing goods, and be of great value in
other WAYS. Besides, there can be no
doubt but that the line would pay
from the beginning, as it would take
in nine good towns, all of which trade
more or less with Wichita. The whole
distance is only eighty-five miles, and
half of that is completed and in work
ing order. Wichita ought. now, take
hold and build the eastern end at
once. Il.

Success in the poultry yard very
much depends upon the ability 10
get the largest number Of eggs in
the shortest possible time. A hen
can produce about so many eggs,
and She may be fed 50 as to part
with them in two years, in produc,
ing the same number. Quick work
means greater profit, not only in
production Of eggs, but in the mar
ket value Of the hen when eggs
cease. We must learn the art of
feeding so as to realize all that is
possible before the hen is two years
old, and then send her to the chop
ping block fat and ready for mar
ket.
The production Of eggs is a con-
slant drain upon the hen. From
one and q half to two ounces OF
highly concentrated food is secreted
through the tissues daily in order
that the eggs be formed, and this
drain must be met. The hopper
will not carry, or the stones grind
unless the grain be supplied. Now
this quantity Of food, necessary to
form the eggs, constitutes about
one half of what is taken into the
system daily, the remainder go
ing to form flesh and sustain the !
fowl. This demand for yolk, albu-
men and shell-fOrming material,
goes ON constantly and must be !
met, so that we may run this egg
at fall blast until the vital
forces are exhausted.
Here is tie secret underlying all !
success and anyone who runs may
learn. Out of the grains, bones
aud shells in their variety comes
the supply which Will meet the de-
mands of nature, and these with

Composing Manure.

One Of the most important ques.
tons which every farmer has to
decide is as to the best method OF
composing manure. There is a
wide difference Of opinion on this
subject-some holding it to be
best to apply it in its green or fresh
state directly to the soil without
composing il with other materials,
such as mulch, or loan, to absorb
the liquids aud gases as they
emanate from the manure. Advo.
Gates Of the latter method claim
that the manure is thereby the
sooner decomposed and its fertiliz.
ing elements converted into plant
food that is at once available. On
the other hand, those who adyo.
cate applying it directly to the soil
claim that a great deal of unneces.
safy labor In carting into the yard,
the material with which il is to be
composed, the frequent shoveling
over, carting out and handling
double.the. quantity of material to
get the benefit Of the plant food
contained in the manure, is thus
gotten rid Of. They also claim that
during decomposition in compost
heap a considerable portion Of the
fertllizlng elements are lost by
evaporation, leaking, &C., whereas
by applying the manure in its
green state directly to the soil, not
only will all such loss be avoided,
but the very process Of decomposi.
ton in the soil improve its mechan.
zeal texture, thereby rendering it
moro porous, and in better con.
dition every way for plant growth.
Now, while it may be, and no
doubt is, true that some crops are
more benefited by the gradual
decomposition Of the coarser par.
ticles OF manure in the soil, yet
there are other crops that require
forcing from the start, and this can
only be secured by the aid of we'll.
decompcscd manure. Such is the
case with garden vegetables, and
the same will no doubt apply to all
spring crops. Wheat and most OF
the grasses, however, not being Of
this character, are at a standstill
during the whole of the winter,
ard can therefore well afford to
await the decomposition of manure
in the soil the following spring.
In all such cases it would seem
best TO dispense with any compost.
Ing at tall before the application OF
The manure to the soil. But at any
tate the farmer, in composing any
manure, should see to it that no
more material DO mixed with it
than barely enough to absorb the
liquid and gases contained therein,
otherwise the labor of depositing
in his baruyard and removing
therefrom all over and above this
will be dead loss-the superb.
bundant material being but little
better if as good, as the land to
which il is to be applied. usr
