germs Of cholera, which he placed in the
yard along with his own which he knew
to be healthy. While the loss is severe.
ly felt, useful lesson is also taught, no,
only to Mr.. Gifhorn, but to handlers Of
stock in general, against purchasing
strange animals when disease is raging
in the country and mixing it with stock
OF your own raising which you have all
reason to believe sound and healthy,
Manhattan Industrialist: This year
We SOW nothing but 'winter" oats, mean
ing by that the heavy, rather coarse, red
dish-colored variety that passes quite
generally throughout the state under
that name. These oats may be sown
safely almost ony time in the spring af-
ter the frost is out of the ground; but
plants of this variety will not nearly sur
vive exposure to Kansas winter. The
time is near at hand when spring oats
will be unknown in Kansas. The win
ter sort yields fully third more than
the common variety, and the quality OF
the grain is greatly superior to the COM
mon shriveled-up Kansas oat.
Council Grove Cosmos: We have taken
the paints to interview quite number Of
the prominent farmers of this county re-
garding the present growing crop OF
wheat. They all agree that where the
wheat was protected with snow very lit
tie damage has been done, and taking
the crop on an average small per cent
has been winter killed. It is also the
opinion that Morris county will have a
large yield if nothing unforeseen inter
feres. Stock is also reported in good
condition considering the severe winter
experienced.
The farmers in the vicinity of Carlyle,
Allen county, have organized what they
call Farmers Club" It meets once
month and its object is|'To endeavor
to educate its members in the best meth
DDS and highest arts of agriculture, hor-
ticulture, poultry and stock raising" 1t
is a praiseworthy enterprise and the ex-
ample should be followed by the farmers
in every township in the state.
Dodge City Globe: Even the young
calves are being swindled in their food,
and instead of getting good mess of
mich as in former times, they are in
some diaries raised without ever tasting
pure mich, in that case they know no
better and may be as well off and just as
happy on the milchaline which they are
fed on, as if they started life on pure
mich.
Leonardville Monitor: Farmers should
remember that the past winter has been
very severe, and the probabilities are that
seed corn will be little uncertain. 1t
would be well to select it with great care,
as bad stand of corn is thing greatly
to be deplored among farmers. It never
can be made good. Look carefully after
your seed corn.
Dodge City Globe: How to rid the
range of animals that kill cattle is ques-
ton that will be carefully considered by
many of the cattlemens, conventions this
spring. The loss by this means in some
sections amounts to as much as the loss
by the winter storms, and interested
parties are determined to stop the leak.
