to height of seven inches, and eloping

Mr.. Wilmot told Us that he was going to
have the rock in its then position photo

STOCK AND FARMING
Chetopa Adpancc, Labette county:
Louis Won Trebra, living two miles south
west of town, has had quite pleasant
experience with his chickens this sum-
mer. On April 20, he had q hen come
off with fine brood of chickens which
grew and matured quickly, beginning to
lay August l, which makes their time Of
maturing before laying q little over
three months. About the LIST of Septem-
Der one of these pullets came of with ten
fine chickens, strong and with good
prospects Of q successful future, but
owing to five of them being shut away
from the hen by accident the other night,
but five remained. This is an incident
of quick growth and maturity, and ex-
cites quite good deal of curiousity and
comment.
Tia national forestry congress recent
ly held session at Denver, Col Mr..
T. s. Fulton, editor Of the Wa Keeney
World, offered the following resolution
and it was adopted: ''That it is the sense
Of this forestry congress that the legis-
latures of the states should provide for
the establishment and maintenance of
experimental timber culture stations, to
the end that there may be secured a
knowledge Of the highest adsptability of
different varieties of timber to the diff
ferent soils, and that the taxable wealth
of the state may be increased to the ma
terial lessening Of the rate Of taxation"
Coldwater Review. John L. Boyd,
one of our farmer friends living near
Protection, raised this year fifteen acres
of wheat, and thirteen acres of corn. His
wheat averaged 20 bushels to the acre
and was sold to 81. o. Holderby, of Pro
lection, at IS cents per bushel, bringing
him 1925. His corn also averaged 20
bushels per acre and has been sold at 40
cents per bushel, which equals $104.
The above clearly proves that there is
more money in raising wheat than corn
in this country.
Peabody Graphic: Mr.. J. 81. James
brought into our Office novelty in the
way of Kansas products. It was a
branch of the Texas variety of the cotton
plant, having eight bowls well filed with
what has the appearance Of being first
class cotton. He tried it by the way of
experiment this season, and notwith-
standing the fact that the few hills he
planted received little or no attention,
they grew and prospered. Those who
have seen it, pronounce it good quail
ty. Kansas soil against the world.
Winfield Courier: DR.. Van Doren
hands the Courier grape sprig con-
tanning two plump punches of Concord
grapes that have made a complete
growth and maturity since the first crop
was gathered. They are as good, too,
in every respect as the first crop. Others
are coming on that will be cut off by old
frostycuss. Otherwise the harvest would
be perennial. Verify, this is great
country. :.
Garden City Sentinel: A. r. Hubbard,
a farmer of Sumner county, has a gray
horse that is curiosity. It's shoulders
project forward nearly eight inches and
in place of the smooth chest which the
properly formed horse presents, there is
deep pocket large enough to insert a
mans fist to the wrist. The horse was
born with this curious malformation and
is eleven years old.
Pao]a Republican: j. B. Locke near
Louisburg, this year raised seventy
bushels of potatoes, twenty. five bushels
of sweet potatoes, q hundred pounds Of
tobacco and $105 worth of melons on
two and one-half acres of ground. Who
says truck raising in Kansas does not
pay?
Burlington Independent: For dry
year q potato twenty eight inches in
length is dandy. We have at this Of
fee a White Brazilian sweet potato,
raised by DR.. 8. J. Reneer of Big Greek,
that is full twenty eight inches long.
Dark Horse: There are probably
more hcmesteaders on their claims now
than at any other time during the sea-
son. A few acres Of rye or wheat will
be sown on nearly every section of land
in Sherman county this fall.
Ell Dorado Republican: A mere be-
longing to w. 81. Fitch foaled a mule
colt that stands three feet and seven
inches high.
Chapman, Dickinson County, Star:
The chinch bugs are dying and farmers
are sowing fall wheat.
Alfalfa is without doubt great thing
for Western Kansas.
Women Who are Always Complaining
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The egotism Of the sex leads its men,
bers to be always balancing their sense
tions in pair Of scales, weighing them
with the utmost nicely and exactness, or
else to place them under mental micro
scope to be carefully studied. Habits Of
introspection and self analysis are most
hurtful when q too vivid imagination
renders calm judgement impossible.
The training that women receive and
their habits of living are calculated to
