FARM NOTES.

Unnecessary fencing adds to the ex-
pense of keeping up the farm without
any profitable return, while in many
cases it adds to the cost of growing and
harvesting the crops. nh r
For grazing alone there is no grass
superior to, and very few that will
equal, blue grass, and when once good
even stand is secured it will pay well to
see that it is we'll cared for.
When the fowls are crowded, either
when eating or roosting, the weeker
will become poor, while the stronger
and more vigorous will get the most of
the food and the best roosting places.
The farmers of johnson County, Neb. !,
are carefully stacking and saving their
wheat and oats straw, which is a wise
thing on their part. The straw is very
bright and nice, and will make good
feed. -, .@sf.- ri lt'0.-l.
There were several farmers who had
to plant their corn over this year. They
considered themselves in hard luck
then, but now they are jubilant. Such
pieces of corn were benefited by the
recent rains and will make more than
the average crop.-Tarkio (Mo.) Ava
lanche. -- .-.r .r g..
Many farmers came in town on Mon
day morning trying to get Kaffir corn or
sorghum seed to SOW for fall or winter
feed. With continuation of reason
able amount of rainfall from this time
until frost comes, Russell County will
have plenty of rough feed for all stock
purposes.-Russel (Kan.) Journal. R
A supply of seed corn sufficient for
next years planting should always be
selected before any part of the crop is
harvested. The best plan of doing this
is to go through the field as soon as the
grains begin to harden and select out
supply. At this time the size and thrift
of the stalk, as well as Of the ear. can be
known. The plant should be vigorous,
and the ear should be of a good size.
well-flled both at the tip and butt
When two perfect ears can be secured
from one stalk all the better; select the
best. ... /.
To have raspberry bed keep up its
good condition the old, weak and dead
wood should be cut out every season,
and, after fruiting, the canes may be
cut away at once, to give the canes
coming on better show. Early in
spring cut out from each hill all but
about four to six of the strongest canes,
and even more if they are not strong,
as weak canes are very unsatisfactory.
At the same time a good coating of we'll
decayed manure should be applied and
be well forked in. After this, with the
canes topped of to about four feet, one
may await results and anticipate good
crop. HrTH

SUGAR MILL BURNED.
The Ness City Mill Burned with Great Loss


The Ness City Mill Burned With Great Loss
to the Community.
Ness CITY, Kan, Aug. 25.-The Ness
City sugar mill was destroyed by fire at
two o'clock Saturday morning.
When the fire was first discovered the
building, large three-story, seemed to
be on fire all over and nothing what
ever could be done to check the flames.
1t was the work of an incendiary, as
no fire had been in the building for
months, except in the boiler house,
which is situated twenty feet south Of
the main building. AS the wind was
from the south the boiler house escaped
injury. p. O. p
This mill was the largest in the State
and had capacity of 800 tons daily.
The machinery alone cost 500, 900, and
the total loss will reach $500 1t
was insured for about $50. 900. "'
The mill was built last year and was
expected to start up in two weeks.
Thousands of acres of cane almost ma
tured will have to be cut and used for
feed. Sixty Thousand dollars of bonus
was voted by the people and these bonds
will have to be paid, while no benefit
whatever will be realized therefrom.
The destruction Of the mill will prac-
tically cripple number of citizens
The loss on cane to farmers will be
light as most of it was planted BY the
sugar company. --..,-.------ .ss-----7-a-1---.-a

A Peripatetic Company Fighting With the
.... Audience.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Aug. 25.-At a
performance given by the Sunny
South" theatrical company at Ceredo
last Friday night, one man was shot and
over a dozen were badly beaten up,
while the floating theater in which the
trouble occurred was badly wrecked.
The trouble was inaugurated by q
number of tough young men, who per-
sisted in insulting the people upon the
stage, and during the second act three
of the actors left the stage with clubs and
attacked several of their tormenters The
three were at once overpowered by the
audience and cruelty beaten. The re-
mainder of the company went to their
assistance when some one turned out
the lights. Pandemonium at once broke
loose and every man began an onslaught
on his neighbor in the, dark, while
women screamed and men called for
help
The police arrived and deputized a
number of citizens to aid in quelling
the riot but this only made matters
worse, and soon revolver shots began to
echo around the hall. Finally the
crowd charged on to, the stage after the
fleeing performers, who were uncere-
moniously flung into the river, where
they were stoned in the darkness
Every one of the police and show peo-
pie were badly wounded by stones, and
the condition of several is serious

Neighbors were summoned by the boy,
and gathered at the Thomas farm Mrs.
Thomas said that she and her husband
had some trouble Monday and after re-
turning Monday night Thomas got up
out of bed and went out of the house
and she had not seen him since. She
stoutly denied all knowledge of his
whereabouts
A general search Of the farm was
made and resulted in the finding of the
head of Thomas buried out in the field
in sack and his arms and legs in the
thick bush near the house and his body
was found buried near where, the FIRE
had been built
The murderer or murderess had at
tempted to burn the body and the parts

With cattle, when the supply Of feed
is short 1t will often be advisable to
sell direct from the pastures, instead of
finishing on grain.
days work is much more easily per-
formed with good team than with
poor one, and this is certainly true on
the farm as we'll as in any other kind of
work. mi
Early in the season Alex England, of
North Platte, Neb., sold his flock of
sheep. consisting Of LOCO head of grown
animals and 400 lambs, at 50 per head,

Provide the shelter for the stock early
so that at any time it may be needed it
will be ready. 1t is not good plan to
allow stock to be exposed to cold rains,
or to be out on cold nights. 49,
In many cases young hogs narrowed in
February can be made to average one
hundred and fifty pounds very readily
early in the fall, and will bring better
price per pound than later, and of course
can be made more profitable than to
feed longer.
With all classes of stock that are to
be marketed in the fall or early winter,
it is an important item to begin feeding
reasonably early. Stock that have been
well fed from birth to maturity, will be
ina condition that only a short feed
will be necessary to fatten for market
DIR. Ferdinand Rubin, a leading farmer
of Dickinson County, Kan, reports
mysterious loss of cattle in the south
part of the county. He himself lost
thirteen head in one day. The animals
were apparently we'll, but lay down and
died in an hour. Other farmers are
losing large numbers and the epidemic
is spreading, causing much uneasiness
among stock owners.
Dr. Paul Paquin says: The first thing
to do in case of black-leg is to remove at
once from the place where the malady
started, all the stock showing no sign
of the disease and leave the sick ones
there Place the apparently we'll ones
on higher and dryer lands If posi-
BILE, or in yard. or open, well venti-
lated stable, and feed them dry fodder
for week or SO and give them plenty
OF good, clear water-not filthy, stag
nant pond or pool water.
It'll always necessary to save waste
as much as possible, and in feeding
stock one important item in doing this
is to provide feeding places where the
waste will be as small as possible.
This applies not only to grain, but to
hay, straw or fodder. Good managers
with feeding boxes for grain should al
ways be provided in the stables or
sheds, and If stock are fed more or less
grain outside, as is sometimes done,
troughs should be provided. 1t is waste
to feed stock of any kind on the ground.
For fodder or hay good racks or managers
should be provided in lot large enough
to give the stock plenty of room, and if
there are number of animals it will be
better to divide them and nave two or
more lots.-St Louis Republic.
