WHEAT CULTIVATION.

There were 20 trials with stable
manures, consisting Of composted and
fresh COW and horse manures, applied
at the rate of 1G tons Per acre.
The yield from these plots was at the
rate Of SAG bushel per acre 1O.7 bush
els more than where no manure was u.s.
ed, this being an increase Of 2S.2 pei
cent. But for each additional bushel
an average of nearly ton and half
Was applied.
The average yield Of grain from the
plots as in numbep receiving inorganic
manures of any kind was 37.7 bushels
per acre. This is 2 bushels less than
the average Of the 4Gunfertilized plots,
or decrease of per cent.
There we're 80 trials with organic
manures. The average rate Of yield
per acre Of grain was 1872 bushels,
making a difference between these and
the unfertilized of 1915 per cent in
favor Of the manures.
From the above the following con-
illusions may be drawn:
I. The soil upon which these expert
ments we're conducted is quite fertile
and productive without the application
of any manure.
2. The application Of commercial in
organic manures has not given a cor
responding increase in yield Of grain,
and the only grain founded upon a suf-
ficiently large number Of trials to give
it weight was where nitrogen was con-
tanned in some form.
3. Where organic and complete ma
nures we're used an increase in yield
was obtained. Ground bone, with but
two tests, appears an exception.
4. Stable or barnyard manure pro-
duce the most beneficial result upon
this soil.
5. Non. of the fertilizers produce an
increase sufficient to cover the cost of
the manures applied Boston Globe.

FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS, II. NJ. BEVERLEY.
There are numerous reasons why Judge
Beverley should be preferred by the voters
of Ford county for register of deeds. To
mention one or two, he is highly cOmpe-
tent Office man. yielding precedence in
this respect 10 no one, no matter who he
is nor where he comes from. Several
things combine to make him thus prOfici-
ent. He is an elegant and rapid penman.
With his books and papers and in the
general supervision of his Office he is neat
and orderly almost to fault. The
Judge is always in his Office during Office
hours and would, as register of deeds,
keep the records of his Office strictly to
date. and all the work pertaining to his
Office would be performed with unexcell-
ed promptness Lastly Judge Beverley
is man of affable manners and friendly
disposition so that il is pleasure to do
business with him.
His power of complacency together
with his large ability makes him superior
to the little trying incidents which fire.
quently occur in the routine of business,
so that the Judge is smiling and serene
when men of less ability and more irrita-
bic natures would be petulant and dissa-
greeablc.
There are some things to be considered
in Ii. NJ. Beverley,s candidacy of which
the public must be the judge. He is an
old citizen and his associations with our
people run back through many years.
That those associations have been pleas
ant his multitude of friends and acquaint
ances will testify. He has made many
thousand dollars in active business in
Dodge City and has spent 1t at home
among our people.
When he was in prosperous business
here he did not forget those who were in
want of Substance and many sacks Of
flour with other supplies found their way
into humble homes, free of cost to the
recipients leaving them indebted to the
donor for his beniticence only.
Judge Beverley has adorned our fair
city with one of the finest homes and
most beautiful grounds to be found in
Western Kansas. In every essential he
is citizen in the broad and domestic
sense of the term and if honOred accord
ing to his worth and just deserts will be
elected by large maj GRITTY.

OUR nEvvspApess.

Some very interesting facs and 6g-
ures are CLEANED from the American
Newspaper Director for 1889. From
an examination of this volume which
may be consulted by the reader at the
TIMES Office it appears that there are
7,l07 publications of all kinds issued
in the United States and Canada. Dur
ing the year there arc 3l,799, 500 IS
sues Of these publications with an .g-
gregate number Of individual copies Of
2, $50, 566, 500 or nearly three billion
Of these publications the weekly leads
the list, the monthly comes next and
the daily ranks third with the semi
monthly, quarterly, semi-weekly, BIZ
weekly. bi monthly and tri weekly fol-
lowing in the order named. When We
come to the aggregate number of copies
the order is found to change somewhat.
The daily, because of its greater fire.
quency of issue leading the list, the
weekly being second and the monthly
third. In regard to average circula-
tons, the order again changes and is
so far as named as follows semi month
ly first. monthly second, daily third,
quarterly fourth, bi-weekly fifth. week
ly sixth, ETC. New York prints nearly
a quarter Of all the periodicals. and
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Massachusetts,
print more than another quarter. The
average circulation of periodicals is
highest in Maine, District of Columbia
stands second and New York third.
The number Of periodicals issuing reg
ularly more than one hundred thousand
copies is 81, 6 dailies, l6 weeklies, 4
semi-monthlies, 10 monthlies and l
quarterly. There are 80 papers which
have a total issue of 8, $4,000 which
Is nearly one-fourth OF the total issue
of 81, 799,5OO. There are Is publica-
tons which print over $780, 900 copies
at each issue and home print over 2OO,-
900 and some few over 100000. The
number of families in the United States
and Canada is about 1900, 900 and
the number Of periodicals is sufficient
ly large to give each family 227 copies
of same kind. Kansas publishes 797
papers and stands fifth on the list Of
states having the largest number, but
her average circulation is about the
smallest-Arkansas, Florida, the Ter
ritories, Mississippi and Nevada only
being below her. Nevada is credited
with no paper issuing so many as 1000
copies while Colorado, Connecticut,
Kansas and Virginia are each without
a paper rated 50 high as 1880 copies.

Our Candidates..

The wish of the people expressed al
the Democratic Convention in the selec
ton of the following candidates:
FOR TREASURER. GEO. Il. cox.
Justice and wisdom determined the
selection of Geo. b. Cox for the office OF
treasurer. The justice of the choice is
reflected from the character and record OF
the man. His name is the SYNONYM fol
integrity and ncighborly kindness.
These qualities do not weigh lightly in
the scales. They challenge the esteem
and gratitude of all men. The hearts of
the people respond with warmest Senti-
ments 10 the man who has been true in
all tried relations; who has subordinated
personal interests 10 sympathetic impuls-
es and who has generously extended aid
to his less favored fellow citizens when
pressing want has rendered such assist
ance doubly grateful.
Geo. b Cox needs no introduction to
the people of Ford county. He is known
by all and many of them have known him
for years Neither does he need to have
his claims for support advocated through
the press. They are recognized in the
hearts and minds Of his constituents.
Mr. Cox was one of the first of our citi
zcns to cast his fortune with Ford county.
With Dodge City and Ford county his
interests have long been identified. His
property. real and personal, is here.
Prosperity smiled upon his tireless indus
try and good management and he accum
ulated largely, while he in common with
every other citizens has felt the stringen,
cy of these pressing times.
Having faith in the agricultural posi-
bilities of our county, Mr.. Cox engaged
in farming and has at present between
200 and 800 acres of land in continuous
cultivation. He has invested his capital
in active industries in our midst and keeps
constantly in his employ from twenty
five to thirty men, all residence of Ford
county.
Two years ago Mr.. Cox was nominated
for the office of county treasurer. The
honor came unsoucht and was in a meas
ure against his will. However he was
the choice of the people and was elected
over a competent and formidable Compel
itor. The wisdom of the choice has been
evidenced by the faithful and efficient
discharge of his official duties. Mr.. Cox
when elected to Office had no especial
acquaintance with IFS workings, but with
his characteristic promptness he speedily
made himself familiar with every detail,
and is in no sense under OBLIGATIONS to his
deputy or dependent upon his knowledge.
OF coures he acquired this familiarity
the more rapidly because he is an able
financier and man of business. The peo-
pie feel the proprieiy and wisdom of re-
tanning their tried and trusted treasurer
for another term in an Office which eX-
perience has prepared him TO fill with IN
creased competency. His responsibility
goes without question and the wealthiest
men of the county are his volunteer
vouchers and bondsmen. There was lit
tie question about the election of Mr.. Cox
two years ago. His success at the polls
justified the confidence of his friends.
Surely there can be no doubt about his
success in the present contest for genial
Geo. b. Cox is a much stronger man with
the people than he was in 1887.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

When the flies are very numerous in
the stable, it indicates that it requires
thorough cleaning.
Sheep that have plenty of exercise
will grow longer staple Of wool than
they would if kept closely confined.
Examine young fruit trees Of all
kinds, ane if boriDgs or sawdust are
seen on the ground hunt for the hole
and probe out the grub with piece Of
wire, advises the American Agricultu-
rist.
1t is claimed that one pound of lin
seed meal is equal to ten pounds of hay.
Being cooked food it is eaisly digest
ed, is safe to use, and cheap compared
with its value as food.
The best and cheapest food for pigs
that are confined in pens is liberal
supply Of young weeds or clover.
They can be kept in growing condition
with little or no grain.
When the second crop of clover is
cut place it aside for the use of the
pigs and poultry next winter. If 1t is
chopped fne, scalded, sprinkled with
ground grain and fed literally, it will
save food, and both pigs and poultry
will thrive on it.
A good horse is generally cheap
one, and no other certainly is. If he
Is good enough his value may rise into
the hundreds and even thousands.
What is often. but incorrectly, meant
by cheap horse is one low in price,
generally worthless and dear even as a
gift.
The farmer who thinks there can be
nothing new in agriculture should re-
member that thirty or forty years ago
his grandfather thought the same way.
1t is fact agriculture has made mere
advancement during the past ten years
than any other ten years of the world s
history.
Native-grass hay is not a success in
general, as this kind Of grass does not
grow tall enough to NOW except in rainy
seasons or favorable localities or in rich
soil; but it makes finer hay when cut
early, and as there is always abundant
seed in the soil, it is cheaper than other
hay by the cost of seeding Rural New
Yorker
Two items are -ained by careful thin
ing of fruit. One is, that the plant not
being allowed to ripen more fruit than
can be done without axhausting the vi
tality too much. the tree is more liable
to yiel. crop the next year. Ani the
ether i, tb.t tl,e.e being less frui. to
mature a much letter quality will be
secured, while the better prices than
can DC secured will mase the work of
thinning profitable The work should
be done early in the season.-Western
