spirit Of bringing in new neighbors for
themselves.
The subject Of Horses and Mules, as
Der the program of the farmers institute,
was handled by W. H. Wilcox. 1 have.
he said, raised some mules and horses.
All the horses I raised were OF the Texas
breed. As for mules, never did raise
but one, and hope to be forgiven for that.
I have let all the horses which have
raised run on buffalo grass. I have half
breeds that weigh 1000 pounds each.
The most of my horses run all winter on
the range. I never have fed them any
grain. never have herded them. It is
my opinion that any man can make more
by raising horses than cattle.
G. w. Tunnel said: have had some
experience with horses and cattle in this
country. did make money on my cattle.
I have invested in horses for the past five
years. That investment has been return
ed, and have now thirty head of horses.
The most of the money I have made has
been from cattle. My first horses in this
county were Of the Colorado breed. The
ones I now have are Norman. I never
feed my colts but little. I consider sor-
ghum good feed for horses. Slightly
wilted cane will kill stock. Various per-
sons claim the same. I prefer sorghum
mixed with millet for feed. 1t never has
paid me to shelter my cattle or horses. I
break my horses to work at three years
old.
Horticulture was ably discussed by
Mrs. ]. Word Carson. We must, she
said, beautify our homes by planting
such flowers as will cause our husbands
and children to love their homes. This
is woman's duty. Do not plant delicate
flower seeds out of doors before the first
of May. They must then be sheltered
with thin pasteboards, just after they
come up, to protect them from the sum
shine and these Kansas winds. think it
is care and thought that make Horticulture
success. Some say flowers will not
grow here, but find this a mistake.
Dairying for profit was next discussed
by President McGarvie. His essay will
appear in the course of week or two
It was moved and seconded that the
president appoint a committee to place in
nomination the officers of the institute
for the coming year. Carried.

two oyercoats from IL, c. Decker, and
discharged for lack of evidence, got on

REV. l. w. READ RESIGNS.

Rev. I. w. Read last night formally
rendered his resignation to the First Bap-
fist church as pastor Of that congregation.
This action was a surprise to many of the
congregation, in view of the very AMIGA
Bile relations that existed between pastor
and people, but brief statement from
him of the reasons that impelled him to it
left the membership no alternative but to
accept the resignation, though with uni
versal regret. Mr.. Read has only been
with the First church little more than a
year but in that time has familiarzed
himself with the work Of church and in
terests of the congregation suffi-
GENTLY not only to fill the
position of pastor to the best ad-
vantage. but at the same time to gain the
implicit confidence and esteem of all, as
has been attested by the uniformly large
congregations at the public services of the
church.
The congregation will part with Mr.. and
Mrs. head, who has been a most active
and efficient assistant il the work of its
every department with sincere regret
Mr.. Read will leave with his family for
Seattle, Wash, about the last of the pres
ent month, at which point he expects to
locate, having received II very iatterlng
call to one Of the churches of that city.

night before last which closed with an old
fashioned spelling school contest. Re-
freshments were served. A book of poems
was the prize for the best speller, which

City. Mrs, S never went down, taking up
the words missed by others and promptly
spelling them, amid great applause. The
music was especially good, being furnished
by volunteer club made up for the occa-
sion by Garfield students aud other fine
musicians, and for which the class and the
patrons of the entertainment are particu-
larly obliged.
