STOCK AND FARM.

Garden City Imprint: Plenty of
farmers in this county will finish up the
year from $500 to 81, 200 better off than
when they began it, and many OF them
will go far above these figures.
Manhattan Industrialist: Wheat on
the college farm averaged over thirty
bushels per acre. Out of nineteen
varieties grown, but one, the Burrell,
averaged better than that standard sort,
the Zimmerman, the former having
averaged, during the past two years,
SO bushels against the Zimmerman's
1898 bushels.
Attica Advocate: We were shown
some broom corn that was raised on
sod this season a few miles south OF
town. The brush is of a nice length
and of fine quality. The long drouth
and excessive heat has not injured its
growth to any material extent, and
the ten acres, 1T is estimated, will
reach an average of 700 pounds to tho
acre.
Independence Tribune: Councilman
Dudley reports his cotton crop very
much better than last year, and prom
Using full half bale or more per acre.
He has cotton shoulder high and full
of bolls, and some opening. He can
cultivate, after the first hoeing, as much
cotton as corn, and thinks it good for
S25 per acre and not to be injured seri-
ousIy by drouth.
Independence Tribune: Mr. Riley,
living near the Coal creek school house,
reports fattering crop prospects
ter than he ever had before. His corn
crop, while short, will be enough for
his own feeding, and he will have seven
or eight bales of cotton, now in splen-
did condition, and several tons of broom
corn, now mostly cured, and at least
100 bushels of late potatoes.
Wichita Eagle: L. F. Sherwood's
experiments in practical irrigation on
the farm twelve miles northeast of this
city, have aroused considerable interest
in the matter. This system is so cheap
and yet so efficacious that every farmer
can afford to have it. The farm con-
tains $50 acres, and already he has
twenty acres of ponds or reservoirs
which have been constructed at small
expense considering their great advan-
tage. In all seasons irrigation will help
out certain crops, and it makes the
farmer safe at all times. In November
he proposes to stock all his ponds with
fish. Every farm in Kansas has deep
draws that may be damned and lots of
water secured at small expense. III
every farmer would take advantage of
his opportunities in this respect there
would be no such thing as drought,
and the climate would be noticeably
more humid.

Following her is Pennsylvania, with
1924; then comes Texas with S,21O
miles. Only think of it! During the
three years from 1886 to 1888, inclu-
sive, Kansas constructed 1886 miles OF
railroads, which is more than any one
of twenty-seven of her sister states
have in operation to-day; and there are
only thirteen states in the union who
have greater mileage Of railroads
than Kansas built in these three
years.
Kansas City Gazette: But what a
year this has been in packingI There
has never been anything like it. Over
1,450,000 hogs and $4,000 cattle
slaughtered since January l. More
than 3OO,0OO,0OO pounds of meat ship
ped to various parts of the world.
More than $500 men employed all the
time, and new improvements beng con-
stantly made by way of increasing the
packing facilities. Each improvement
means more men. Does this look like
dull times? Not much! The new i'm
provements made since the first of tho
year will involve an outlay of over $780,
600, and the year is only two-thirda
gone.

IN the mend
the consumptive who's not be-
reft of Judgment and good sense.
He's taking DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If taken in
time and given a fair trial, it will
effect a cure. Consumption is
Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its
myriad forms, and for all Liver,
Blood and Lung diseases, the "Dis-
covery" is an unequalled remedy.
It's the only guaranteed one. If
it doesn't benefit or cure, you get
your money back. You only pay
for the good you get.
"Discovery" strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Splitting of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec-
tions. Don't be fooled into taking
something else, said to be "just as
good" that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There's nothing at
all like the discovery" 1t con-
tains no alcohol to inebriate no
syrup or sugar to derange di-
gestion. As peculiar in its cura-
tive effects as in its composition.
Equally good for adults or children.

Protection from the disease. not medic
tnal agent which merely checks the parox-
ysms, is the grand desideratum wherever the
endemic scourge of malaria prevails. Qui-
nine does not afford this protection. The
chief reason why Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tens has won such immense popularity Is,
that it prepares the system to resist the ma
laral pest. This it does by bracing and
promoting an equal flow and distribution of
the animal fluids, and establishing digestion
on a sound basis. Not only Is fever and a0ue
prevented, but the worst types of the disease
are conquered by it. Such is the overwhelm-
ing evidence in its favor. It is equally eff
cacious in dyspepsia, indigestion, liver oom-
plant, general debility and rheumatic COM
plant, and is a reliable diuretic and nervine.

In the most of our dwellings the i'm
portant rooms, as far as the health of the
inmates is concerned. arc the kitchen

mistress Of the house, who keeps no SER

least sanitary attention is commonly
paid.
We shall speak now only of the sleep

the wear of the physical and mental ma
chlnery. No greater mistake was ever
made than to look on the time spent in
sleep as wasted.
We have improved upon such sleeping
rooms as were not unusual a few gcner-
atlons ago; rooms forever unvisited by
sunshine; rooms opening from the
kitchen, so that the spoiled air OF the
day was breathed over again by night.

still, mere closets, wholly cut off from
