kQOWloUS0 OIL Cl0dCluS Tile immense IOr-
ests as we had of the art of growing
forests-which do you think would be in
the best condition to-day to make liveli-
hood? Have patience; we are learning;
some are succeeding; more will succeed;
g.oves and young forests are beginning
to spring up around us. To the much
abused timber culture law, much of this
success must be attributed; for it is, and
will be, great factor in the problem of
foresting the plains. Last September I
had occasion to enquire of the different
land Offices in Kansas as to the number
of final proofs that had been made under
the law, and the answer aggregated over
twelve thousand acres. About two years
ago I was told confidentially by man
tlat not one final proof had ever been
made under the law. and he did not
think there ever would be. Surely, we
are making progress. In Germany,
where nearly every college has forestry
as regular course, with a professor of
forestry in the faculty, and with the
planting of forests business, controlled
by the government, we are told by indis-
putable authority that 'th same area
must often be replanted or one over and
repaired five, six, nay, ten lles." Have
we planted as often as that? want to
say 10 you now that but one excuse re-
mains for failure to raise trees, and that
Is want of means to procure proper stock
to plant. When this difficulty shall have
been overcome, as I hope and believe it
soon will be, under our present forestry
law in This state, then there will be none;
and those who fail to grow trees will be
the few who fail to succeed in anything.
God never created this vast country to
remain forever treeleas, any more than
He created wooded country to remain
forever densely wooded. Each has its ad-
vantages and its disadvantages. One

en-. Find out their wants, and get your
butter and cheese in the most attractive
condition.
Mrs Carson gave some very instructive
ideas on raising calves and making fine
cheese.
Mrs. Rich, in coloring butter, never
uses the patent butter coloring, annatto-
inc. She always puts the coloring in the
salt and not in the cream.
Mr.. Kelly thinks that Mr.. Walkey
scored the Wa-Keerey merchants and
real estate men, and moves the passage OF
a resolution that the essays here read be
published. Motion carried.
Mr.. Robb claims that, from an expert
ence OF nine years, sorghum is the best
feed, except grain. Here general dis
cussion ensued on sorghum, which prov
ed to be the best we ever heard. Prof.
Walters claims that sorghum makes the
finest feed when cut up by machine, and
that animals, after eating this for some
time, look for the sugar drips." He
does not advocate sorghum hay, which is
cut while young. Mr.. Walkey does not
like to have so much said in favor of SOL
ghum, but does think that rice corn
should be noticed, and in this way coin
cided.
The Committee on Program report up
on the evening exercises as follows:
Flax, Buckwheat and Wheat Growing
w. w. Walkey and Ben G. Rich.
Farm Architecture-Prof. Walters.
Poultry-Mrs. Ben G. Rich.
FRIDAY EVENING SESSION.
The house was called to order at 8
o'clock, sharp, by the president.
The exercises we're opened by music on
the organ, by Miss Davis. America
was sung by the audience.
The subject of Farm Architecture was
next handled by the able professor, Mr..
Walters, of the StateAgricultural College.
w. w. Walkey opened the subject of
Flax, Buckwheat and Wheat Growing.
He had planted one-fourth of an acre, and
reaped eight and one-nineth bushels of
buckwheat. He had also planted flax,
and was successful in feeding 1t to horses
and calves. We poor people, said the
speaker, must have mill; we all like
buckwheat cakes. This kind of grain can
be raised with success. Broomcorn, Mr..
Walkey thinks, is one of the most profit
able crops to raise It sells from $75 to
$3.50 per ton. He has raised good crops
of wheat in Cove county.

held the audience spell-bound. He urged
upon our people the Importance of i'm
proving our region with the finest bless
ing that Nature can give-forests. If
you would grow timber here, You must
have the ground in the finest condition.
Yes, you must do more than this; you
must take great care, and study how to
save every drop of water. I care not
what you plant, whether box-elder, hack
berry, ash or ailantus. What we want is
to grow trees! Cheers I would also adj
vocate that our seedlings be shipped from
the north. From that point will come
our best success. I believe the best way
to grow trees is to make them self-pro-
tective. I like to see trees grown in
groves, for thereby the best success is at
tanned. also advocate the planting of
shelter belts Evergreens are the coming
shelter-belt trees of western Kansas.
They are useful in all times of the year.
Ben G. Rich opened up vigorous fire
on agriculture, as follows: Mr.. Rich's
splendid address will appear in due time:
Then came Individual and Cooperative
Dairying, which was treated by general
discussion. Ben G. Rich opened the fire.
He claims that dairying is one OF the
most profitable businesses in which the
farmer can engage. The buffalo grass
has proved in past experience that it will
produce the finest butter in the world.
But always be careful in manufacturing
butter or cheese to make only the best.
Stamp your name on every article Of Ell
ther of these products. Le.your merchant
and every one in want of your goods know
that you do make good article, and you
need not 90 ont to ask your merchant to

TOAST WITH HOLES IN IT.
An Order That Surprised tho Senate
Restaurant Employees.


One morning this week one OF the new
Senate committee clerks, brand new i'm
portation from New England state, seated
himself at table In the Senate restaurant
and ordered some tea and toast, and his
order was promptly filed. AS soon as his
expectant gaze beheld the toast, he de-
clared that II was not OF the quality he de-
sired; that he wanted "toast with holes in
it.n Being in doubt as towhat was wanted
the waiter reported the matter to the pro.
prietor, Mr.. Page, who, anxious to please
everybody, ordered the cook to prepare
another plate Of toast. Another order Of
nice, Grip, buttered toast was soon placed
before the young clerk. Then his indlgna.
tion became very apparent. He seized the
plate OF toast and went with It In person to
the proprietor and complained bitterly OF
his service and declared that he had twice
ordered "toast with holes In IT," and tho
waiter had brought common bread toast
both times. When asked to explain what
he meant by "toast with holes IN IT," he
said, "Like that which Mr.. - had for
breakfast yesterday The waiter remem.
bered that Mr.. - had been served with
waflles on that occasion, and thereupon.
without further unnecessary delay. the
young man got his "toast with holes In it.n

you in the English language for the magnin.
cent instruments which you have placed at
my disposal for my concerts.
Only the powerful tone, the beautiful sing.

found no instrument whose Tone, Touch. and

as those Of your pianoiortes.

had arranged it and made preparations
without the assistance or training of any
