New Way to Plant Wheat.

Col. Writ M. Hughes returned yes
terday morning from north western
Kansas, where he spent a week with
his parents. 1.-The farmers i'll that
section" said he, ''are trying a new
plan of raising wheat and if it proves
successful the grassy prairies on those
extensive plains will soon be converted
into wheat fields. The scheme is to
plant wheat on the prairie without
breaking the soil with plows. 1t is
accomplished by means of traction
engines attached to which are little
subsoil plows and wheat drill.
There are fifteen little shOvels or sub
soil plows attached to each engine and
these serve to tear the sod enough to
allow the drill to plant the seed.
The praries in that section are COW
cred with buffalo grass and it never
grows very high, so if the wheat crop
ever natures it can be reaped easily
The shade of the wheat will also kill
! the grass, so it is claimed by the farm
ers, so that the second crop will be
more easily put in than the first. One
| farmer who tried this scheme on a
very small scale last fall reaped good
crop this year, and this fall he intends
to plant four sections of prairie with
wheat in this manner. Aside from
this there are other farmers who are
\ tryipp the same scheme There is
more wheat being planted in western
Kansas this fall than ever before, and
if nothing prevents the crop from
maturing the Sunflower State will be
able to supply the whole country with
wheat. k G.. Times.

Got There, Just The Same.


The election last week was something
of surprise to the whole country. 1t
was expected that in the race many
changes would take place, but it was
not dreamed that the Farmers alliance
and democrats would let their racers
clamp the bits and get away with the
whole business, even surprising them
selves.
This reminds US of story related
of an old farmer in Avoyelles parish, in
the days long ago, when plantation
joined plantation from one end of
Bayou Deglaise to the other. The old
farmer lad a beautiful plantation on
the river, and when he was growing
old he was left widower. In those
days it was sometimes the case, when
an old farmer well fixed UP was left
widower, that he would not let many
moons pass before some fair damSel
would be offered a magnificent home.
As the story goes, this old farmer
found young lady whom he set his
OliCCliOhO upOh. 0AO w UO 1ColOC0 OOS-
eral miles down the bayou. The old
farmer made an engagement to call
upon the young lady a certain evening.
Then he held himself away. to the
nearest town and purchased a new suit
from foot to head. When the time
came to go he concluded he would put
on his entire suit except the shirt, and
this he would carry with him and would
halt few miles from the young lady's
home and place it on. His saddle horse
had been pampered for weeks until he
was almost like looking-glass and was
almost unmanageable. The old farme
started and rode leisurely along until
he came to grove of oaks on the road
way about three miles from his young
lady friend. Here he halted and with
out dismOunting drew from his saddle
pockets.his new shirt. AS he threw the
starched shirt over his head his pam
pereC horse became frightened at the
rattle, and taking the bit between his
teeth, struck out at a full run down the
beautiful roadway. The old farmer
had no time to pull the shirt down from
his face, and thus he went, passing
house after house, while the laborers
working in the fields on the roadside
gave cheer after cheer, not knowing
who they we're cheering. The old
farmer told the story afterward, and
said his horse ran up to the right gate
and stopped, aud so after all he got
there just the same. Lake Charles,

1--WE HAVE too many elections in
Kansas says the Register of last week.
Just found it out, did you? We have
all along told you that we have had too
many elections in Misunderstanding as
they have heretofore. 1t all depends,
you know, On how they result. 1t is
doubtful if the people of Kansas will
stop having the kind OF election that
they had this fall. 1t is new variety,
bearing a better quality of fruit than
those of some other years, and we
believe the people will be willing to
propagate the same variety for some
years TO come.

The Corporal's Promise.

Corporal Tanner related this in his
lecture: One day as he lay tossing fever
ishly about in the army hospital lady of
uncertain age entered the ward with a
basket and bundle Old soldiers will
understand with what avidity the wound
ed men eyed that basket, and, as she
stopped at the bedside of Tanner, his
mouth watered in anticipation of the de-
licious treat "Young man." said the
woman solemnly, ''are you ready for the
great change awaiting youa" He hoped
he was. "Well, young man, " continued
she in that same sepulchral tone, ''take
this; and when you get well, if you ever
do, it may do you good" And she took
from the bundle a--tract, and laid itten-
derly on the bed. "Thank you, madam,
thank you," said Tanner, with sudden
vigor, as he noticed the title, "On the
Evils of Dancing" and, calling back the
old maid, he swore solemn oath never
to dance as long as he lived. The Cor
poral had just had both legs amputated.

are two large rooms; these were cSupied
by the brothers and sisters who came
from distance. One room was occupied
by the men and the other by women and
children. These apartments are fur
nished with bedsteads and cradles. The
cooking is done in the basement. Some
sixty men, women and children occupied
these sleeping rooms. An OK, weighing
SIS pounds, was slaughtered for meals.
After q sermon or two, interesting
feet-washing ceremonies took place
When the bishop finished reading the
Bible chapter, which described Christ
washing the feet of the disciples, the
Dunkards gave very fair imitation of
the ceremony. One brother kneeled
down and washed both feet of three or
four brothers sitting on bench in row,
while another brother and girl with a
towel followed and wiped the feet. The
women, all of whom wore white lace
caps, washed each others feet in the
same way, while an appropriate hymn
was being sung. Loaves of bread and
dishes, containing soup of rye and beef,
had been placed on the table, and all tho
members partook of the Lords Supper.
Every set of four brothers and every set
of four sisters ate soup out of one dish,
two sitting on each end of a narrow
table. The members arose after eating
and embraced each other fervently. Tho
salutation of the holy kiss followed,
when each imprinted kiss on the lips
of the member next to him. The loud
smacks resounded through the meeting
house. Communion service, the break
ing of unleavened bread, and the drink
ing of unfermented grape wine were also
observed. The unleavened bread was in
strips, some six inches long, two wide
and an inch thick, and piece was
broken off by brother, who broke
another piece and handed the remainder
to the brother next to him. The meet
ing lasted two days, and finally adj
journed. Times Democrat.

were needed in that direction. Our
march by moonlight was from Che

that had been fought over two days
previously. Soon we came to the

we passed hundreds of them, the gray

difference in the moonlight and
shadow. They lay there stiff and
