EDITOR DAILY NEWS: Sir-In
the dispatches of the Associated
Press to-day, reference is made to the
important scheme of founding in the
College of Emporia a library to COM
memorate the golden wedding Of
Col. John B. Anderson and his wife
Mrs. G. G. Anderson. 1t may inter
est our people to know that this gem
erous scheme had its origin especially
in Manhattan and junction City
among the personal friends and
neighbors of the eminent couple
whose virtues and worth are in
tended to be recognized and
honored in a manner SO fitting.
Col. Anderson is president of the board
of trustees of Emporia College. He
was one of its earliest and most gener-
GUS supporters. He has manifested
the profoundest interest in its welfare,
sparing neither time nor money to
promote its interests. There is
eminent propriety in identifying his
name permanently with the future
growth as well as withIthe past history
of the institution. He is one of the
men whose faith in the final success'u
outcome of the college has never WAIVER.
ed for an hour. This memorial library
will at once signalize his tireless de-
devotion to the cause, and serve tC
keep a noble memory green during
coming generations.
From what has already transpired, il
is evident that library of no NEAR
pretensions will be the immediate re
suit of this movement on the part o
Col. Anderson's friends. But the in
spring hope of the originators, 1 an
confident, Is that this effort shall be bu
a foundation work. Others will adj
to it during the passing years, and tn
Anderson Memorial Library, like thu
great Bodleian Library at Oxford Uni
versity, will one day be among tn
principal attractions of our own be
loved Emporia College.
1t is intended to devote one day dur
ing the commencement week in June
for suitable anniversary and dedica
ton exercises. Invitations to friend
in various parts of the country hav
been issued, and large attendance
confidently anticipated. I am SUI
that the people of Emporia will vi
with the good people of other place
in making that occasion memorable
by fifty honoring the exalted characte
of our friends and benefactors, job

On the 25th of April, 1888, Col. John
B. Anderson and wife, of Manhattan,
Kansas, will have been married fifty
years. They are unwilling for many
reasons, to celebrate their golden we'd
ding in the ordinary way. 1t has been
suggested by their friends that on that
day, there be founded memorial libra
~ at Emporia College, as fit commem-
Grafton af this event in the lives of this
beloved couple, to be known as the
Anderson Memorial Library"
At meeting of the friends held in
Junction City to consider methods and
means to carry out this project, the
undersigned were appointed a COM
mittee to act in the matter.
This institution is the Presbyterian
College of the Synod of Kansas, To-
Gated at Emporia, Kansas. Col. An
dersOn is president of its board OF
trustees, and takes great interest in
its welfare. This young college has
fine building, but greatly needs IL
braTy. The purpose is to establish a
frst-class library suitable to the wants
of such an institution, such as books
of science, history and biography. or
works of standard literature, as well as
religious books.
Friends of the family and of the
college are invited to contribute books,
or money with which to purchase
books. We all know how cheerfully
the friends of this couple would con
tribute ordinary gifts on a Colder
Wedding Anniversary, which might bt
of but temporary value. Let us put
our remembrances in this shape, Of
usefulness to mankind, and thus per
petuate their names long after they art
| gone.
While the 18th of April will be TIT
date of the founding of this library
contributions will be received at an.
time, as this is to be a permenan
memorial.
1t is also proposed that a service o
dedication of this library be held il
connection with the Commencement
exercises of the College, Tuesday

Cotton Picking-cottOn Bagging.


No time should be unnecessarily lost
in housing the remnant of the crop
from the fields. The heavy dews and
probable rains will have a very rapid
deteriorating effect on the staple, and
not lock should remain to be picked
after the last boil has opened.
! We trust that the farmers have been
successful in illustrating the power
and influence of concerted action in
their efforts to defeat the ubiquitous
Bagging Trust, and to develop some
generally acceptable substitute for
bagging made of imported raw ma
terial. Little can be done by farmers
except to demand substitute for trust
bagging and thus give substantial en-
couragement to the development of
some home material for making bag
ging. It is most natural to turn at once
to cotton itself as material out of
which to make a covering for the crop.
A very good bagging is made by the
Rosedale Manufacturing Company, of
West Point, Ca, and by the Lane Mills,
OF New Orleans, samples of which we
have seen and heartily approve. We
Moline, however, to the opinion that
some less costly material than cotton
may be found. Pine straw, saw pal
metto, and the bark of the cotton and
okra plant are promising materials.
We have seen a sample of pine straw
bagging made by the Acme Manufact-
uring Company, of Wilmington, N. G.
It is very similar in appearance to the
ordinary iute bagging, the warp and
filling being little larger, and the
weight per yard about two and a half
pounds. 1t is not so strong as the jute,
but is strong enough for all rea-
sonable demands. OF course a substi-
tute for jute bagging, in order to be-
come permanent substitute, must be
furnished at the same or a less price.
Farmers are not going to permanently
use a more costly material in order to
anticipate future combines and trusts;
they will use the material that will in
the long run cost them the least. 1t is
well enough to urge and advise the de-
velopment Of our home resources, but
the expense should not fall on the
farmers alone. They will buy where
they can buy cheapest and sell where
they can sell highest, if permitted to
do so by the laws of the land. In the
meantime let the National Government
admit all foreign-made bagging, as
well as raw material, free Of duty

A curious old marriage custom, which
is still widely prevalent in Brittany,
was recently interpreted in a novel
and amusing manner. According to
this custom the bridegroom, imme-
diately after the priest has welded the
couple, strikes his wife in the face,
saying: This is how you will fare If
you make me angry" and then kissing
her, he says, "And this is how you
will fare if you treat me well"
A short time ago young Brent
married a German girl, and
after the ceremony was over began at
once to practice the first part of the
time-honored custom. The bride, who
was ignorant of the elmer meaning"
of what she considered an insult,
turned round on her lord and master
and returned the stroke, saying, in
broad Suabian dialect: "Look here,
| do not approve of such behavior;"
after which the husband is said to
have performed the second part OF the
ceremony with more than usual aifec-
ion.-PuH Mall Gazette.

The Pecan Orchard.


The bearing condition Of the pecan
(lilke the orange) may be FASTENED by
several years by budding or grating
from bearing trees Then there is an
other advantage, to-wit: seedlings Of
the pecan may or may not bear fruit
like the parent. Much will depend
upon their not being crossed by the
pollen of an inferior variety. 1t is al
ways advisable, Of course ION account
of the difficulty experienced in trans
planting all nut-bearing trees), to
propagate upon stocks grown upon
the spot where the tree is to stand.
After the young trees have grown large
enough to be beyond the reach Of
stock the pecan orchard may be per-
mitted to grow up in grass for hay, or
used for pasture.
The demand for good nuts is increas-
ing, while a poor article is often drug
upon the market. Hence the wisdom

cites of large, paper-shelled fruit
They should be given plenty of room,
say fifty feet apart, at least. This will
allow thirteen trees to the acre. M o.

HERE AND THERE.

Mutton is in greater demand than
wool, yet the supply of choice mutton
is always far below the demand.
1t is claimed that quack grass,
which is very persistent, can be Grad
icated by cultivating a crop of sorghum
on the land.
Pigs will eat clover hay If it Is cut
up, and it is excellent for them. The
best mode of feeding it is to scald it
and then sprinkle with bran and corn
meal.
As long as the season permits and
there is land to be plowed in the
spring, the pillow should be kept going
now, in order to save labor when the
busy time comes.
The sooner the corn-fodder is put
under shelter the brighter it viii "a
main during the winter. To leave II
in the fields only induces loss of quail
ity as well as waste of material.
Fine manure may be spread on the
pasture now, in order to promote the
growth of grass next spring. 1t will
also serve as a protection to the roots
and enable the plants to start early.
AS no two animals are alike, it is
best to consult their appetites and de-
sires. Whatever the animal prefers as
food, and thrives on, it should have.
Food can not be forced on an animal if
he dislikes it.
The large breeds of horses are not
as serviceable on soft lands or for driv-
ing as a cross OF such breeds on our
native mares, which will produce
horse well adapted for all kinds Of
work.
Dry dirt is better than sand on the
floor of stables, as it is an absorb
emit, and the finer the dirt the better
Sand, however, is more easily removed
and does not cause dust. An excellent
method of keeping the stalls clean is
TO apply layer Of dirt and then
sprinkle with plaster.
"A writer who has given attention
to the matter of feeding sheep states
that the best ration he ever knew was
composed Of equal parts, by weight. Of
corn, oats, peas and millet, to every
fifteen bushels OF which one bushel Of
flaxseed should be added, and the
whole ground together. 1t fattens
sheep very rapidly.
-Of the different kinds OF hay
clover is conceded to be the best, as it
is well balanced in these elements
necessary for growth and production.
No food is complete; but, however,
where clover is fed literally and a
moderate allowance of grain is added
the results are usually satisfactory,
provided good quarters are allowed
and the sanitary condition complied
with.

An Artists Experience with an Adnlrlnt

An Artists Experience with an Admitting

Edward Gay is an artist Of some note
who lives in Mt. Vernon, and he is
highly esteemed for his thoroughness
Of system, his entertaining and merry
disposition. and his cypacity for tell
ing good story. His specially in
painting is landscape, but If one should
ask him his opinion of pastoral studies
scowl would steal over his face for a
moment, to be followed by smile and
an acknowledgment that ut was my
fault"
Mr., Gay, last autumn, took up his
easel, piece OF canvas stretched upon
a frame, a palette, his brushes and
oils, and went to large and beautiful
meadow, not three hundred feet from
his house, ard took up position under
large apple tree. He had sketched

hence there was no fear OF a

year for thunder storm, he concluded
that his apparatus would be safe
enough where they were, but it was a
luckless conclusion. When he returned
from luncheon a great Ayrshire COW
stood under the tree with both feet
planted on the canvas. She had licked
off all of the paint representing the
green meadow, had chewed the leather

q long leather strap with which Mr..
Gay bundled every thing together.

against this wanton assumption of 8

NOUPAERN AGRICULTURAL



Tho fall, so far. has been unusually
favorable for sowing small grain, and
it is to be hoped that tho farmers have
made good use Of their opportunities.
1t is now too late to SOW oats with any
reasonable hope Of their understanding
the severe freezes which are likely to
occur, except below the parallel of 81
or 50 degrees. In the piney woods
and cost region November is a good
time to SOW.
We have before stated that we do
not advise farmers generally in the
cotton belt to SOW wheat. While
It is we'll to diversity crops, and as
nearly as practicable to produce
the supplies needed for home con-
sumption, yet there is limit in diver
styling beyond which it will not be
found expedient to 60 Almost with
out exception every farmer in the
South should produce all the food nee
essary for his stock, full supply Of
bacon, lard, milk, butter, beef, NUT
ton, fruits and vegetables. These items
are mentioned because the soil and
climate are perfectly well adapted to
their production, and they are or
should be considered indispensable to
comfortable living. But our conditions
are not so generally adapted to the
production of wheat, although -four is
one Of the articles of prime desire, and
most farmers therefore find it mex
pedient to plant this crop.
There are localities on most farms in
the chill country" and some even be-
low the metamorphic formation, where
wheat is about as certain and reliable
crop as it is anywhere. These To-
calities are usually found on the highest
points, the soil being gray or chocolate
and underlaid by good stiff or gravel
1y clay. Old land, moderately fertil-
lied, is better for wheat than strong
1oawy, fresh soil. After all the efforts
to procure reliable variety of wheat
none has been found to give better
results than the old "blue stem"
or purple straw" Land that
has been in cotton or other
clean culture crop is the best.
Ammoniated manure gives the best
results, cotton seed having long been
standby for wheat or other small
grain, though rather too rich in am
monia. A better manure is one that
may be composted Of cotton-seed meal
and acid phosphate with kainit in the
proportion of:

Care Of Colts in mnter.

It is necessary, in order to have a
colt grow into a well-developed horse,
that special pains should be taken to
have him kept thriving during his first
winter. If foaled late in the season,
he should have an extra ration in case
the mares milk is not sufficient to
keep him growing and in good flesh.
Skinned milk will answer for this,
and a little oil-meal or cotton-seed
meal should be mixed with it, the
amount to be given depending on the
age and size of the colt From pint
to a quart of the meal per day will be
sufficient for colt six months
old, according to his size,
colts Of the heavy draft breeds
requiring more than those Of
smaller frame. Oats, too, may be
provided for colts, from one to four
quarts per day, the amount depending,
as in the case of the meal, on the size
and development OF the colt. One or
two quarts OF bran per day will he
found good additional ration, which
will maintain a healthy condition OF
the bowels and keep them free from
worms. The colt should have clean,
comfortable quarters, with dry yard
in which to exercise, and, when it can
be SO arranged, the stable should be
open into the yard, so the colt may
out and in at will, except in stormy or
very cold weather, when the door
should be kept closed. During the
winter is a favorable time to handle
