Prof Blake says that Kansas. will
raise about 100000 bushels Of
wheat IN 1889, and it will bring ST.
OO0,OO0OOO, or nearly $50 per bushel.
The total acreage is five times that Of
last year, and the warm weather Of
fall and winter has been conductive
Of an excellent stand Kansas says
he, evil raise more crops and get
more money for them in 1889 than
any previous year Of her history"
He predicts a wet season and a boun-
tifuI crop of corn and oats in addition
to an immense yield Of wheat. The
professor prophesied the past two sea
sons of drOuth and advised the PEG
pie to let the boom alone on that ac-
count, and we hope and believe he is
correct. Fort Scott Monitor.

Keep Clean.

An Old physician, being once appealed
to Tor some general, comprehensive rule
for the preservation Of good health, re-
piled, keep clean" Cleanliness, from
medical point Of view, generally means
the absence OF noxious germs. The laity
generally comprehend In the term free
dom from foreign substances, while the
psychologist and moralist have reference
TO the purity of Tie mind ana soul. All
these combined would form the first prin-
clple of good health. Freedom from all
nth with reference to the body and Its
surroundings, freedom from contamina-
ton OF mind and soul, would make the in
dividual not only free from material pol
lutions, but would inspire him with
sense OF cleanliness. feeling Of purity
that would cleanse life and glorify the
consciousness Of living. There is a
meaning In that word "clean" that pene-
trates beyond things seen, and touches
the mental and spiritual nature of human
ity. Cleanliness In material sense NAV
not abhor designations and debauches
which Cypress life with sense Of impu-
rity, Whaling the source of health and i'm
pairing Its enjoyment. keep clean" Is
an admonition carrying with 1t an inspir-
alton which not only invigorates life but
makes 1t enjoyable and beautiful. Clean
illness brings not only comfort and health
but 1t adorns living, gives existence
charm, imparts consciousness of life, real
enjoyment, thought and feeling of exis-
tence. the purpose and sanctity of living.
There Is world of meaning In the two
words keep Clean" The physician, the
psychologist and the moralist united In
that one advice would give to humanity
law Of health, the observance of which
would not only purify physical existence,
but would inspire Consciousness of the
enjoyment OF life and animate 1t with its
hopes, purposes and destiny SANITARY

full blooded buck. One pen of fat weth-
ers, years old, grades would weigh
alive 200 pounds each. A pen of ewes,
same age, were but little less hefty.
These are good object lessons of what
may be accomplished by all our farmers

Dairy Hints

Prof. L. X. Arnold once said that "a
COW going into stable filed with the
odor of solid and liquid excrements will
carry 1t into her milk in fifteen minutes. ="
For this reason he insists that stables
should bes ventilated in such a way that
pure air will come to the cattle from the
front. True; and this Is one of the rea-
sons why COW barn should have a wide
barn floor through the centre; why the
cows should stand with tLeir heads to-
wards the centre, and have wide space
behind them, and wide stable doors at
both ends OF the center floor. This ar
rangement of stables and floors, aided by
plaster busted upon the well cleaned sta
BILE floors, will make suitable habitation
for clean COW to dwell in.
The albumenods in whey are as one to
80 In skim-milk while the other solids
are nearly the same In both. Chemists,
In comparing the feed value make that
OF whey as cents to % cents for skim
milk, or shout half as much per 100
pounds.
There Is great need that large pro.
portion Of the yearly milk supply should
pc diverted from summer to winter
flow. Butter is unreasonably cheap in
summer, because so great a majority of
the farmers have their cows calve In the
spring. Hence there is but little profit
gained from the COW. 1t is also unrea-
sonably dear In winter because so few
cows are made to calve in the fall
There needs to be better balancing up
OF the yearly milk supply, so that les.
milk should be produced in summer and
more in winter. This would equalize
the prices for the whole year, greatly In.
crease the consumption In winter, and In
the end bring greater profit to the dairy.
man 1t Is well to remember that it costs
only about 10 per cent more 10 keep
COW good milking condition than 1t doe.
to keep her dry, as she ought to be kept
while the returns from winter milk ar,
fully 30 per cent. more than from summer
