STOCK AND FARM.

A fodder machine in Mitchell county

children to sit on one end while the other

Ashland Clipper: A car load of
sweet potatoes, raisad on five acres and
q half of land, was shipped from Rocky
Ford last week, and netted $3.50, or 500
to the acre. Sweet potatoes are indie
genous to Clark county, and still soma

Garden City Sentinel: Thus far this
season Is cars of baled alfalfa have been
shipped from this point to points east,
and the demand increases as its value for
feed becomes known. Next year every
farmer along the Arkansas should put in
large crop, as it is sure and will find q
ready market at good prices.
Winfield Telegram: John Paddock
exhibits stalk of cotton over four +.
high containing 100 well developed bolls
that are just beginning to expand-o or
flower. On one branch alone there were
over fifty hollis. This stalk was volun-
teer and grew without attention. The
successful cultivation of cotton in Chau-
tauqua and Barber counties is proof
enough that it is q good crop for Cow
ley county soil and climate and this
specimen of Mr.. Paddock's shows what it
will do.
Different farmers have different ideas
about farming. While nearly all agree
that deep blowing is better than shallow,
there are to be found good farmers who
think just the contrary. One of these
is ]. B. McGrew, q farmer of Victor,
Osborn county, who don't believe in deep
blowing, but just cultivates his land,
arguing that the former process is all
right in y wet season, but all wrong ia q
dry. He is not favorable to the lister,
but thinks it better than deep blowing
in drouthy year. He says it took a
great many years to convinoe him thst
deep blowing vas injurious in Q dry
but since trying shallow stirring
himself the past couple of years, he is
fully convinced that it is the proper way
to plant corn in this country.

Newton Republican: An exchange
says that John J. Ccx, of Fredonis, whe
is credited with having designed ths
coat ot-arns Of Kansas, was found lying
dead across his bed the other day. It il
probable that it refers to John T. Cox,
and early settler of Kansas, who laid on
the town OF Ostumwa, Coffee county, in
1857, who served in the First and Sec
ond Indian regiments, and for years was
connected with the Indian bureau and
was an active figure in Kansas politics

these sections railroad travel has been gener-

in great measure has been cut of since
Monday forenoon. Today trains began 10
run ON many of the leading railroads, and

ing from this city will have returned 10 the
regular schedules. One of the most stub
