The esteemed Chicago Herald thinks
it is very strange that preacher at
Wichita should have considered it neces-
sary to preach last Sunday sermon on
Lying The general impression of
Wichita is a town too busily engaged in
the real estate business to find time for
lying" Wichita is very pious town.
Capital
The impression, for a Chicago impress
sion, proves wonderfully correct. The
sermon had no local application, how
ever, but was intended for the Capital of
the state and was suggested by the late
unearthing of great number of joints
in that town.

The Prospect Without Precedent

Kansas City star.
Kansas rejoices in such prospect for
big wheat crop this spring as has sell
dom been seen in that state at this sea
son of the year. The stand" is full and
even, and under the influence of abund-
ant spring rains, the plant has made an
exceedingly rapid growth, and in mauy
localities 1t Is almost ready to joint. The
acreage is much the largest that has ever
been reporthed, and the percentage Of
condition all over the state is in advance
of that of any preceding year Gener-
ally speaking, the weather in Kansas up
to wheat harvest and for some weeds at
ter, is highly favorable to vigorous vege-
tation, and barring chinch bugs, of
which there are now no indications.
Kansas may look forward to such a
wheat Drop this year as will astonish the
country.

The statement that farmers will have
to pay 20 to 25 cents pound for binding
Irvine this year against 16 cents last year
is misleading, not to say incorrect. The
price at the present time is from - to 20
per cent higher than last season, and the
determined stand taken by the consum-
ers throughout the wheat producing re-
gions of the country will probably have
the effect of bringing the price back to
former prices by the time the season is
well open.

CROP BULLETIN.

T. B. Jennings, signal corps assistant
of the Kansas weather service which CO.
operates with the United States signal
service, makes the following report for
the week ending Saturday, April g. 1899:
PrecipitatiOn-Ther has been an aver
age rainfall in the east central counties.
In Franklin, Miami, Johnson, Douglas,
Shawnee and Usage there was an excess,
which rapidly diminishes north of the
Kaw river, and gradually dimishes to
the south. In Cherokee Labette and
Montgomery there is a slight deficiency,
which increases TO the west. An aver
age precipitation in Harvey and Nc
PherSon, while west of there in the
counties along she Arkansas there is an
excess, which becomes quite pronounced
in Ford, Gray and Haskell. In the
northern, northwestern and west central
counties there was general absence of
rain. On the 30th a hail storm in Ed
wards and Haskell.
Temperature and Sunshine-The tenn
perature has ranged from to 7 degrees
above the average. The highest fox the
week occurred on the I'd, when it
reached 80 degrees in many counties,
but the succeeding days lowered it ma
goodly measure of sunshine, yet the
high, variable winds partake more of
March than April.
Resuits-The season is reporsed gem
orally five to ten days in advance Of the
average SPRING In the northwestern
and extreme western counties, though
there has been no rain. the winter grains
are in excellent condition: of wheat By
far the largest acreage ever sown Is re-
ported. In Mitchell the oats are coming
up and trees leafing out. In the counties
along the Arkansas all crops are doing
remarkably well: the ground is in good
condition, and south of the great bend
a large acreage OF corn is being planted.
Early peaches, apricots and some apples
in fun bloom IN Harvey. Peaches,
plums. pears and cherries in full bloom
in Sumner and the counties east, where
blowing was DELAYED few days by the

there was good, downright wholesome en-
ioyment for them, il was there that night
in that old log house.
At last they had to stop for a breathing
spell, and Tom, triumphant shining with
enthusiasm, rested his beloved fiddle for a
moment on his knee. Lets have some

"And where's the nuts and the corn to

pardonable pride, bringing forth a bounti-
full store. And then--the laughter, the fun,
the popping Of the corn, the sweetness Of
the cider, the red apples, the redder cheeks

hebreeze Of enjoyment that was in that old
house that night Right in the height Of
the fun and merriment Uncle Aaron quietly
left the room and went outside. Strange
10 say, inside he felt lonely. He went out
side, all unmissed, aud seated himself on a
fallen log, under the shadow of tall pine
tree. He was without a hat, and his strong
face was sharply outlined by the clear
light of the room The valley beneath
looked like painters dream-and he felt
its beauty. He heaved sigh of unconscious
pleasure and looked all around. Just then
small, white, childish face came up out of
the shadows, and Jacob, taking seat upon
the log beside him, said softly: Father
He was not in the way. Another would
have been. The man reached out his hand,
and pointing to the beautiful shimmering
moonlit picture beneath, said under his
breath: LAD, that ere is pretty.''
For answer the hoy sidled up to his knee,
sat on it, reached up his arms, put them
around his neck and Land his head down on
his breast. The big man just stroled his
hair and said nothing. Just then woman's
voice called out: "Aaroni Aaroni Where

young men and one of the young girls stood
up together. This bold move won nod of
approval from Tom. "That's it'll Now an

CHILLED VS.. WARMED WATER
Should water for stock BE warmed in



Should Water for stock BE Warmed in
Winter?
In speaking of the lamb-fecding ex.
periments at Cornell University in re.
cent issue we directed attention to the
great difference in the amount of water
drank by the different lots of lambs.
and noted that the lot that drank the
most water also made the greatest gain.
There is belief among dairymen, as
old as the hills. apparently, that tho
best dairy cows drink the most water.
1t must be acknowledged by all who
have looked into the matter that water
plays most important part in the ami
NAL economy, and that any curtailment
OF the full supply of this article will
bring loss to the herd. Already the time
approaches when the farmer should
make ample provision for a fun supply
of pure water. placed where it is easily
accessible to the weakest animal of the
herd or flock
For two or three years past the ques-
ton of warming water has been consid-
erably agitated in the Northwest, and
though some of our experiment stations
haye shown that there is no apparent
gain from warming water, we still be-
lteve that losses often result from hav-
ing the water so cold that animals drink
less than they would were it more pail
atable. We doubt if the experiment
stations, in giving cold water, have APP
proximated the conditions which obtain
in an ordinary barn-yard A hole
chopped through the ice in the water
trough on cold winter day, exposing
ice-cold water beneath. does not offer
much inducement for animals just let
loose from a warm barn and sensitive
ones probably but partially slake their
thirst under such conditions. The least
that can be done is to bank up the
troughs, leaving but a small surface
exposed at the point where the animals
approach for drinking. With the
troughs banked up by earth or straw
litter and covered with good layer Of
straw, except at the one opening. where
considerable water is used very little ice
will form except in high attitudes.
In many cases at the North, however,
we still believe it will pay to warm
water for farm stock. in spite Of the ex-
periments reported to date OF course,
economical methods Of heating water
should be employed and apparatus for
this purpose should be complete but
reasonable in cost and Of easy manipu-
lation. At the fairs this fall numerous
heating devices are being shown and
the stockman has an opportunity for a
preliminary investigation and compare
son of the different systems employed.
Those who have any misgiyings that
their stock will not have abundance Of
not too cold water, easy Of approach so
that the weakest Of the herd or flock
can gain access TO it each day during
the winter, should attend to this matter
at once. The fact that the animals
have enough water IS keep them alive
will not SATISFY the intelligent feeder;
rather will he endeavor to secure a
large consumption Of water, knowing
that this is coincident with good gains.

rain, and it will prove very satisfactory.
Our readers remember an article by one
of our contributors some months ago, in
which he related his experience in keep
ing ice in an old barn. He first made a
cooling room in the center Of the barn
by standing up several heavy posts and
mailing them in position with joists, and
then he filed the structure around and
over the cooling room.
Handsome profits may often be de-
rived by putting up a quantity of ice
and selling il to some dealer or creamery
in hot weather Many are quietly maxi
ing money by putting up a large guam
tity of ice each winter in some cheap
structure and using it to retard the
fruit they raise and buy until prices
have advanced. Apples and pears
furnish an especial field for this depart
ment Of business The low price Of
labor in winter is also an argument in
favor Of securing the ice crop.
Where it is desirable to put money
into a retarding house one can be built
on the following plan and perhaps some
readerin buildingcan improve upon this.
The general principles, however, must
be adhered to. Three things must be
kept in mind: They are drainage, good
ventilation above and protection from
contact with the outside weather by a
number OF dcad-air spaces or heavily
packed partition walls. In the left
hand upper corner OF the engraving the
sawdust packing is shown by three lines
which reach TO it ON top of the ice and
on each side Of dead-air space. This
building is arranged for storing apples,
etc, and all the ice is TO be taken in
above the storage room.
1t is presumably built upon the side
of lake or pond, and the ice is run up
an incline by power when the ice cham
Der is being filed. The floor OF this
structure is cement Equally good floors
can be made of cinders, coarse gravel,
rammed clay or lime mortar.
II the building is situated high
enough the storage-room can be placed
in the basement In this case the
structure need not be so high and the
