STOCK AND FARMING.

Ellsworth Reporter: Joseph Byfne
has presented us with samples OF blue
grass, red and white clover and orchard
grass raised on this ranch. The sam
pies were as fine as We ever looked at.
We learned from Mr.. Byrne that the
ranch now contains 10000 acres, all IN
der fence and 1000 acres are under cul-
tivation and planted in corn, rye, oats
and millet. In addition to the feed raised
on the ranch, they purchase from 3d.
600 bushels of corn per year to feed the
stock on this place, which consists of
from four to five thousand head of cattle,
600 brood mares, about 80 head of
mules, and 200 head Of horses besides a
number of thoroughbred horses, bulls
and jacks.
Clyde Herald: james AIoorehouse
and William Page, with one lister, put in
eighty acres of corn in six days. That
would be planting corn at the rate of 49,
acres per day. What a vast improve
ment this method is over the old. 1t
would have been worth eighty dollars to
have plOwed that ground, and then, if
planted with hoe, would have required
fifty dollars more. Here is a cutting
down of four-ffths in the cost Of putting
in a crop OF corn. And then, too, think
that all this work can be done without
paying ont any cash, for, an able bodied
farmer can do all this work without hir-
ing a hand.
Some Of the western cattlemen think
the idea OF sending frozen beef to mar
ket a good one and would like to see its
adoption generally, while tine eastern
butchers are holding conventions and
denouncing frozen beef In ten different
languages. The butchers have one ad-
vantage in having the railroad com
panies with them, but even that viii be

Southeast Kansas farmers want It un-
derstoOd that the stock interest of the
state is not confined to the north or west
part, but say they have as fine every
day stock farms as can be found IN the
west and to get up something more than
ordinary interest, they are having cattle
shows IN some Of their county towns.
We know Of nothing better adopted to
attract attention to their stock than
these shows, and if they keep them up
until IN the fall. the whole country viii
be talking about the live stock shows In
southeastern Kansas.
Larned Optic: MIR. John Hall, who
lives near PaWnee Rock, In this county,
says he has considerable blue grass on
his place which is Of voluntary growth.
He says it is making its appearance In
many places IN his part Of the county,
and he thinks it spread from the old

San Francisco Chronicle.
I don't believe that it is when a wo-
man has a small foot that she wants to
show it lust a little. am open to seri-
GUS correction, but there seems to be
quite a satisfaction to a woman In know
ing that she has a pretty foot, and a WO-
man has a way anyhow of believing ev-
erybOdy knows what she knows unless
it be a secret. Then she never believes
that anybody else knows it even If she's
told it to them a dozen times. But
when a woman has a small foot and has
had it all her life, and known It and
been told about it for twenty years.
beg pardon, no lady is ever over that
age, say ten years-she gets so accus-
toned to it that it ceases to be piece of
vanity. It's the woman with the long
feet and the high instep that wants to
show them. The high instep sometimes
goes before a fall, and that's why people
with high illsteps are always said to have
plenty of pride When woman has sue
ceeded in pinching a big foot into a very
small shoe she does not propose that all
that trouble is to be gone TO and all that
agony suffered for nothing. So she al
ways makes point of having it display
ed somehow. L beg pardon of the Ia
dies for thus drawing attention to some
thing L have no business with. L think
the rudest thing 1 ever heard Of was
what one of the papers said about Mrs.
Langtry, that after one Of her scenes sew
eral Of the ladies threw flowers at her
feet. Mobbing her was all very well,
but throwing flowers at her feet was car
rying things too far, and an outrage.
Did you ever see a woman try on a pair
Of shoes? You bavel Then you're eth
er married or engaged in a shoe store, 1
hope.
She had a lovely foot and her visitors
were admiring it. They were ladies Of
course. A man who is not a shoemaker
dares not mention such a thing unless
they are alone in a dim corner Of the
drawing-room where nobody Ican over
hear.
'What a beautiful foot you have,
dear?"
ayes; pa says when We go to Europe
he'll have a bust Of it made" Song!

1 witnessed a novel and decidedly in
teresting surgical operation at a clinic Of
the new Ophthalmic college this week.
1t consisted Of what is known as '.intur-
baton Of the larnyZ. an operation which
is suPerseding tracheOtomy, or cutting
into the wind-pipe or larnyL. The pa
tent was a little child, almost suffOcat-
ing from the effects Of membranus Group.
Hitherto children so afflicted or suffer
ing from diptheria have had to undergo
the old-fashioned process Of cutting from
the outside an operation at once cruel and
painful. Many children have succumb-
ed to these diseases because their parents
objected to tracheOtOmy and the dread
full pains their children would have to
endure, but it would appear, from the
experiments and evidence Of experts,
that this old fOgy carving is to be
shelved. In INTIMIDATION the operation
consists IN passing Il small silver tube
through the mouth and down to the VO-
cal cords, through which it passed. The
handle, or ''carrier," is then detached by
a spring and Withdrawn, leaving the lit
tie tube in position, q hange at its SUI
psriOr extremity preventing its slipping
through the vocal cords into the wind
pipe. By the introduction of the tube
instant relief from suffOrcation is obtain
ed, and the child falls at once into an
easy, refreshing sleep. After three or
four days the handle is passed down the
throat and attached by a simple mechan-
ism, and the tube brought out. By this
means the patient is afforded free breath
ing, and respiration, and, with other
treatment Of a medical kind, soon recov-
ers. In explanation the operation to
post graduate class, Professor Greene
said: al regard this operation as "a
triumph in surgery, as it is blOOdless,
painless, rapid and leaves no open
wound subject to infection. The old
operation of cutting into the windpipe
was horrifying to the mother, Who usu-
ally hesitated between sure death by
suffocation and the obligation to see her
own offspring winch under the often
times brutal surgeons knife. She
would not as a rule submit her babe to
the sanguinary operation, until the
poison had taken hold Of his system,
and all hope was lost"

Arkansas City TraUelsr: NJ P. John

ranch. He intends to begin shipping
shortly. His first shipment viii comprise
five car loads, and he viii keep up his
shipments through the summer as fast
as his cattle become fit for market. Mr..
JohnsOn's range in this county contains
1000 acres and borders on the territory,
One-fOurth of which he has under cult
walton, producing corn enough to keep
his large herd in fair condition through
the winter. Being an experienced cattle
man and having exceptional advantages,
Mr.. johnson has been able to hold his
own thought the declension in values,
and speaks with confidence of better
times for stOck-raisers being in store.
But he says he has no use for she cattle.
The Peslzy brutes have an annoying
habit Of dying through the winter, and
even If they are brought through and
sent to market, they do not show up on
the scales as well as steers, and always
bring an inferior price.

Some Odd superstitiOns and Beliefs Con-
corning 1t Exploded.
Atlanta Constitution.
One Of the most popular errors con
corning the hooking bird is the belief
that he has no song Of his own that he
adopts and blends only the note Of other
birds into song. This is pure non
sense. The young hooking birds rear
ed In the garrets OF great cities and
beyond the reach OF the songs Of others
sing as do the natives OF their freedom,
though not as strong, they lack the in
SEPARATION Of mates, the yellow sunlight
and liberty. Their song is, In fact, a
number Of songs. but entirely original.
No man ever heard the divisions Of the
hooking birds song In any forest. That
he interspsrses them with cat calls, the
hawks screech, the Whirr of the bull bat,
and the chickens melancholy peep, and
notes from other birds is true, but these
are only characters In his recibatvs bal
lard, features IN the romance of his sum
mera. That he sings his part backward
and forward and combines them anew Is
also true. The mOedng brd's song is
to the ear what the kaleidoscope is TO the
eye, and the combinations Of his songs
are as endless as the forms in the toy.
But the song notes are the same.

that unless the rector were in his church
on the following day, which happened to

O'Clock next morning the Able Simon
was set free. An the clergy of St.
