Odds and Ends.

Great Bend Democrat: Only about
30, 900 more acres of wheat sown In
Barton county last fall than the year
before.
Burnt corn is said to be cure for hog
cholera. The fact was accidentally dis
covered, but has been satisfactorily
demonstrated.
Not single discouraging report of the
wheat crop has been heard for a month.
The golden era has arrived. Tie farm
er's hoppers will be filled with grains OF
! gold, andshe will sell this gold for other
gold more conveniently carried.
The Kinsley cheese factory takes in
every morning from four to five hundred
pounds of milk. They now have on
hand something over five hundred
| cheese that are too fresh for shipment.
They are shipped as fast as they can be
made and got ready. The farmers that
are interested in this concern are max
! ing more money than they could by put
! ting their milk to any other purpose

this time of year As is well known,
there is critical periods yet for this crop

cellent and stock is in good condition.
Hill City Reveille: Mr. Dudley in
| forms us that Mrs. Hickok, living near
Roscoe, had some cabbages last summer
| that did not head on account of the dry
| weather, and she sprinkled teaspOOnful
of salt over each one and laid the dry
dirt oyer them, covering them entirely.
In the fall, when they were uncovered,
Mrs. H found she had very fine cab
bages. We think this little piece of in
formation should be known by every
farmers wife in the west.

SAYS white milo maize VIII yield here
from twenty-five to thirty bushels Of
seed per acre, and bushei of maize is
worth more for fattening hogs. cattle,
horses and poultry than a bushel of
corn. The stocks of the maize are far
superior to corn for growing stock, con-
tanning more nourishment and they eat
every bit of it. Of this eight to twelve
tons can be raised III southwest Kansas
a country unsurpassed for stock. What
more can farmers want:
Red clover won't grow here? Why,
you're cracked. Go down to Service
place. half a mile east of town, and
you'll see as nice red clover as you ever
saw. This thing of claiming that clover
and other domestic grasses won't grow
here is all bosh and little better than
downright blaspheny itself. Unaided
nature alone won't do. If you trust i'll
God you'll get badly left. He's busy
with the pay rolls of those who work. If
there is anything on this green earth
painfully disgusting it is TO see a great
big two-hundred pound puke moping
around. with the seat of his pants dip
ping dirt, suffering away like wall
eyed idiot, damning the country because
things won't grow when ne dOest't SOW.

the millions of bushels Of wheat and
corn as at present, the near future will
produce millions of pounds Of the best oil
sugar. Instead of land flowing with
milk and honey, we viii have milk,
honey, bees and sugar. There is no
reason why Kansas, now the heaithiest,
will not soon be the wealthiest state in
the union. He resources are almost IN
limited, her noble sons and daughters
are possessed Of that push, energy and
integrity that always brings success.
Skilled labor seems to be the only
drawback now to the establishment Of
sugar plants. Capitals always plenty
for investments that pay 30 TO 100 per
cent, and the question now is, who shall
enjoy these great advantages first: The
good people Of Avon are fully awake,
and they appreciate the benefits

most unit in their effort TO obtain one,
and they viii certainly succeed.-Cor
