Stock Scales.

Stock-shippers at this point have long
complained that there were no scales
at or near the stock yards. They APP
piled to the railroad company, but prom
ises were their only reward. The ship
pers then secured the cooperation of
L. c. Molloy, ana he opened CORES
pondence with the railroad commits
sioners. with very satisfactory results.
Saturday he received word from the
board that Mr.. Robinson, OF the Santa
Fe management, had promised to at
once order stock scales constructed at
Medicine Lodge. No doubt the work
will be done speedily, now that it has
been ordered.

The Sugar outlook.

Sorghum cane and sugar beets have
not been hurt by the dry weather, but
| on the contrary both plants have been
growing richer every day. The cane is
green and fresh, the earlier varieties
heading out nicely. Cane will be ready
for the mill by the 10th of August, and
probably little earlier OF the 1900
acres planted here this season, at least
1900 acres will be harvested. A few
alleged farmers, who have had a big
job OF saving the country" and who
have not properly cultivated their cane,
will harvest none; but such men would
have been hungry in the days when
milk and honey flowed free.
Sugar beets are becoming richer every
day. A sample raised by Allen Smith,
south of town. was analysed, this week
and showed II per cent. of sugar or SUI
crosse. This was an average specimen
from large patch. The web worm ate
the beet tops during the dry weather,
but the roots were not injured parti-
Gle, and now new tops are growing. 1t
is now the belief of Mr.. Hinze and 9TH
ers interested, that the Deets should be
planted earlier in this china ate, and next
season this will be done.
The sugar mill at Medicine Lodge
will be the only one in Kansas that will
make full seasons run this year.
Something is the matter with every one
of the others, or there has not been
planted full crop of cane. The mill
here expects to run on cane alone for
100 days, averaging more than 200 tons
of field cane per day. The manage
ment Will not be satisfied with anything
less than 100000 pounds of sorghum
sugar. Then the sugar beets will be
handled, and it is expected that there
will be $500 tons of these, $50 acres
having been planted.
All of the improvements at the sugar
mill have been tested.
The addition to the Yaryan eYapora-
tor will be in position in time.
Quantity and not quality will be
worked tor this season. The entire
output has already been engaged to a
refinery.
Supt. Human is working about Il
hours day, getting in shape all the de-
tails of shipments of fuel, sugar and
syrup. The saying over last year will
be quite an item.
The entire syrup cistern, 18x6O feet,
and 10 feet deep, has been walled up
with stone, the walls being two feet
thick, with strengthening shoulders and
pillars wherever needed. 1t would
make a great beer vault.
The lake did not drop an inch during
the four weeks dry spell, and over 500
cubic feet of water went out at the
waste-way every minute. That is a
great lake of water.
Our exchanges mention the fact that
200 acres of beetS will be made into
sugar by the various sugar mills of the
state, this season. But they all fail to
mention that the mill at Medicine
Lodge will use 100 of the 200 acres.

fCst wife. Miss Thomason, of Clay

YER took the prescription, and became

The Farmer.
BY ROLLIE ROE.

Towering columns in spreading fields,
Golden mounds that old Barber Yields,
Fairer far than the domes of gold
That kissed the skies in the days of old.
Though the back of the farmer brown is burn'6
He feels that the treasure Is honestly earned
Standing bare-armed in the burning sun,
He feels glad that the work, so far, is done.
Many harvests have made him old,
But still he loves those mounds of gold, a.t
And he loves to think of the king who said,
Back to the farmer we go for bread -
Alike in this as in every age,
Turns the thoughtless, and the solemn sage
With dukes and earls. and the lordly bred,
To those brown hands for their daily bread
Back to those brawny muscles OF steel,
The priest returns from his holy kneel;
And the queen stoops from her lofty perch
And the cody people, returning from church
To pay respect to the God-fashioned man
The monarch of all, the lord OF the land;
The world may foam in continuous turmoil
Still he lives independently, tilling the soil.
He is always well armed, reverses to meet
Ii drouth kills his corn, he still has his wheat
God Is all-wise, and something gives,
he CAM run the world unless the farmer lives.

A Volcano as Oh Incubator.

The volcano of Bogoslor, on al island
of the Aleutian group, of Alaska, which
suddenly burst into activity last winter
and whose flaming summit could be seen
for sixty miles, was visited during the
summer by several officers Of the United
States revenue cutter Rush. The volcano
is only 200 feet above the sea level.
When the crater was opened BY the SUBJ
marine earthquake it is thought volumes
of water rushed in which caused the
dense clouds oil steam that had been aris-
ing ever since. From q tissure at the
base of the mountain rose boiling sui
phur fountain. The officers assembled TO
the crater, aud on looking over the edge
the steam could be seen in endless guam
titles rising from unknown depths. Rum
bling noises, like thunder, were heard,
and the mir was impregnated with sui
phur. One of the most curious facts dis
covered was that ocean birds used the
island as natural incubator for their
young. Thousands of gulls flew away at
the approach of the Rush and left behind
them, along the sides of the volcano,
eggs in all stages of development. The
Rush brought an immense walrus hide,
fifteen feet long, to be placed on exhibi-
ton at the worlds fair. 1t will be first
sent to the Smithsonian Institution to be
prepared. Chicago Herald.

THE CHRISTIANS JOY.

Christ had set before Him the joy Of bring
ing many souls to glory. 1t is nice to con-
gratulate ourselves that we are candidates
for glory, but we have got something to do
before we get there. That is what we are
here for. A friend on the hill tonight said
he thought thejoy over his first convert was
almost as great as that over his own conver-
sion. think it was more. There are three
great joys. The first is the joy Of our own
salvation; the second is the joy of bringing
some one else to Christ, which is greater, be-
cause it is double. You enjoy 1t, and he
does, and joy that is communicated is
double.
The greatest JOY is that of seeing ones
children walking in the truth when one is
in his old age. DO you know that you and
are to be crowned with tile same JOY and
glory as Christ? Thank God, believe it,
but can't realize it. Some one has made
the remark that everything that God gave
to the Son He gave away. The only thing
the world gave Him that He didn't give
away was that alabaster box tina. Mary
broke over Him, and if she had given Him
the whole box He would have given that
away.-[D. L. Moody.
