STOCK AND FARM.

Augusta Journal: s. F. Garrison,
has a thousand bearing apple trees
whose product, this year, has Melted
him nearly $4,000 with market con-
tinually calling for more.
Beloit Gazette: The following is a
report of the dairy products sold by A.
Sears, of Coal creek, for the year end
ing December 81, 1889; Butter, 1912
pounds. at an average of 49, c., gave a
total of $170.841. How does that COM
pare with selling milk at SOC per cwt.
Mr.. Sears further states that the aver
age number of COWS MIXED was not to
exceed five.
Atchison Champion: One of the
handsomest as well as largest farm
houses passengers can see from passing
trains on the Central Branch, is that of
Tom Durland, living mile west of
Centralia. He came to Nemaha coun-
ty over twenty years ago, with small
amount of capital. Now, he has a Sec
ton of land, large house, roomy barn,
stock, fruit, orchard, and good-sized
bank account in his favor.
Medicine Lodge Index: A big horse
and land trade was made Monday by
which @. a. Eldred becomes the owner
of stations and 6 mares, of the lot
brought here from Illinois by Winter
Bros. Seven of the stations are French
Draft and one English Draft, three
of the former being imported horses.
The mares are all imported French
Draft. Winter Bros. get the Richards
and Rogers ranch of 1,4S0 acres, south
of here six miles, taking it at SIS an
acre, or $4,000.
Mound City Clarion: There are few
more valuable farms in Linn county
than that owned by VIM. Cox, four
miles south of Mound City, and there
are few better or more successful farm
ers than Mr.. Cox. Locating in Linn
county in early days, by industry, fru-
gality, and able management, he has
succeeded IN accumulatiug wealth, and
what is more desirable, an elegant and
valuable home. His residence. COM
pleted about a year ago, is one of the
best built, most convenient and costly
furnished in the county. His farm of
over four hundred acres is largely sown
to tame grass, making it one of the
most desirable for feeding and stock
raising. Mr.. Cox and his estimable
wife have hosts of friends who wish for
them many years yet of life in which to
enjoy their well-earned possessions.

The executive committee of the Kan
sas Short Horn Breeders association
held meeting last week in Topeka and
elected Colonel s. A. Sawyer, of Man
haitian, to succeed E. NJ. Shelton. The
annual meeting will be held on Feb
ruary II in Topeka.
The Kansas Sheep Breeders asso-
citation held meeting last week at the
Kansas Farmer Office and arranged the
premium list for the state fair. They
decided to hold a public shearing at the
fair grounds on the first Tuesday in
April, to make test records on fleeing.
The senate codifying committee,
which has been in Topeka holding its
meetings IN the rooms of Judge Joel
Holt of the supr enc court commission,
has assigned work to the several mem
bers OF the committee and taken a re-
cess until the Ord of February, at which
time the committee will assemble and
act jointly on the work of the members.
Senators Murdoch and Hardness will
return to the city next week, as the
nature of their work requires that a
portion of it at least will have to be
done here. The committee has chosen
no secretary yet and probably will not
do so until it assemblies again.
The directors of the state board Of
agriculture met at the Office of Secre-
tary Mohler, and the new officers and
members took the oath of Office. Prof.
o. st. John, of Topeka, and Prof. Robt.
Hay, of Junction City, were appointed
biologists, and Prof. F. H. Snow, of
Lawrence, and Prof. E. A. Popenoe, of
Manhattan, entomologists. Prof. J. T.
Lovewell, of Washburn college, was ap-
pointed meteorological, and Sergeant 7.
B. Jennings, of the signal service, as
sistant meteorologist. Prof J. FL. Car
ruth was appointed botanist, with Prof.
L. E. Sayre and Prof. W. A. Kellerman
as assistants. Chemists, Profs. G.. h.
Failyer, of Manhattan, and E. II. s.
Bailey, of Lawrence. A committee on
needed legislation was appointed as fol-
lows: G. w. Click, Thomas A. Hub
bard, Thomas Patton, John Kelley and
A. w. Smith. The latter is chairman of
the committee.
The Shawnee county commissioners
have visited the county farm and in
spected it. They state that they found
the farm in excellent condition-as it
always has been under the present
management. It is surprising to know
that there are only fifteen inmates at
the institution now. It is certainly
remarkable that at midwinter a county
with a population of $4,000 has but
fifteen paupers in its aims house. OF
course there are great many outside re-
ceiving public assistance through the
commissioner of the poor, some Of
whom ought to be at the county farm.
The poor commissioner says that many
of those who are receiving assistance
through him are the families of colored
men who have gone to Oklahoma and
taken up homesteads, leaving their
wives and children to the mercies of
Providence and the charities of the pub

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Manhattan Nationalist: Junction
City furnishes the Union Pacific rail
road water for seven cents per thous-
and gallons.
Junction City Union: The Union
Pacific baggage agent at Junction City
for 1889 issued 7,O35 pieces of baggage
and received 11,644 pieces.
The Chicago, R. I. & P. has issued a
circular which gives Topeka some well
come reductions in rates on outgoing
freight in all figured and lettered class
es. The rate on frst-class freight to
nearly all points in Kansas on the line
of the Rock Island, has been reduced
6 cents per hundred; second class, three
cents; fourth class, six cents, and other
classes to correspond.
Junction City Union: A gentleman
who is in position to know informed
US this week that the present round
house was to be made just double its
present size in the spring. The turn
table was so placed that it would be in
the proper position when more stalls
were added. The gentleman also stated
that the repair shops would be much
larger than our people generally expect.
Not less than fifty men will be worked.
Topeka Journal: There are many
rumors ahoat in regard to certain i'm
portant changes to take place on the
Union Pacific in the near future, and
the most reliable information that can
be had is to the effect that on February
1st two plug trains or accommodations,
are to be put on the road, one to run
between Kansas City and Topeka, COM
ing out in the evening, and the other
to run between Kansas City and Ellis,
to come out in the morning, to pass
through Topeka between nine and ten
o'clock. These two trains will be ex-
uected to do all the local business of
the road, and the regular passenger
train which arrives here from Kansas
CITY, about 1:30, p. m. will be fast
mail train. At the same time the Chi
cago & Alton and the Union Pacific will
unite in putting in operation a solid
yestibuled train between Chicago and
Portland, Oregon, via Kansas City.

Neosho Falls Post: The protracted
meeting at the Methodist church Of this
place is still going on, and will continue
perhaps longer. There have been sew
enteen conversions, and large num-
Der have risen each night for prayers.
Herndon Courant: The carpenters
are about through with their work on
the Catholic church. When wholly
completed it will be the finest and best
church building in northwest Kansas,
and the town, almost entirely, can
thank Rev. Picker for this addition, as
it is mainly due to his untiring energy,
push and well-trained disposition to
master all difficulties that by chance,
or otherwise, confront him.

ance, $50. Highest for any one Sunday,
1,274; lowest, 20. The superintendent,
Mr.. W. D. Gossett, after twentY-one
years service intimated to his teachers
that it was time they were being super
seeded, but they prepared set of such
strong resolutions, setting forth the
necessity for his continuance, that he
was forced to reconsider.

Both little girls were rosy and sweet;
One little girl had TO walk By ruls.
For her shoes were hurting her feet.
One little girl could skip and jump.
For Eorss's School Shoes fitted her dEhk
On the foot OF one little girl was bump,
On account of her shoes being much toe
tight,
One little girl missed winning prize,
Her feet were hurting her every day;
Each wore shoes OF the very same size,
But they were made in a different way.
One pair Of shoes was made too narrow,
The Ones made by MORSE were wider and
neat;
One girls toes were like those of q sparrow;
Badly shaped shoes had defOrmed her feet.

action was taken with reference to the
death of ex- Governor Nehemiah Green.
1.-THE sad news of the death of Hon.
Nehemiah Green is announced He
filed many places Of public trust with
signal fidelity and ability. AS a legisla-
tor, Acknowledgements and governor,
he was always the earnest and devoted
friend of Kansas and the right. In
private life he was beloved for the
purity of his character and universally
respected for his Christian virtues.

seemed a conscientious duty, and
thoroughly aggressive, he was full Of

pie OF the whole state. And rich and

his good deeds in affectionate remem-
brance.

The oldest officer in the United
States navy is Commodore Henry
Bruce. now on the retired list and liv-
ing In Boston. He was born on Feb.
II, 1889, and was appointed midship-
man in the navy from Massachusetts
on Nov. 9, 1913. During his seventy
six years of life in the navy he was
forty-two years on the active list, but
had only fifteen years of sea service
and eight years of shore duty. Three
of his fifteen years of sea service,
from 1887 to 1910, were spent as Lieu
tenant on the famous frigate Brandy
wine, in the Mediterranean squadron,
and his only command was the brig
Truxton, on the coast of Africa, In
1913. His last promotion on the active
list was to the grade of Commander,
on Sept. s, 1S41. He was retired Sept.
13, 1855, but OF April 4. 1867, he was
promoted to Commodore, favor which

A YOUNG lady near Clayton, Ga, a
few days since prepared a wedding
supper and invited relatives and
friends to be present and witness her
marriage to young man of the neigh
borhood. The company assembled,
the bride was attired in her wedding
costume and the supper was in wait
ing, but the bridegroom did not ap-
pear. At late hour, however, he &C
cidentally happened along, dressed in
his everyday clothes, and, being made
acquainted with the object of the as
semblage, expressed great surprise,
stating that he had no notice whatever
of the intended wedding. The we'd
ding was postponed, but the supper
was highly enjoyed all the same.

arm at the battle of Mcdowell, Va,
in May, 1862, and he declares that he

while all the leg wounds proved NOR

particular notice of that fact.

THERE are some good-sized families
in Maine to-day, but probably none so
large as one mentioned in the histories
of old colonial days. It is told on the
authority of Cotton Mather that the
first royal Governor at Boston was one
of family of twenty-six children, and
was born in the woods of Maine near
the mouth of the Kennebee, in 1861.
His mother was left a widow when he
was child, and is said to have had all
she could do to provide for the wants
of her family. 1t is hoped that when
the Governor got 100000, knight
hood, and goblet valued at $1,000 as
a reward for finding Spanish treasure
ship that had gone to the bottom half
a century before, he remembered his
mother and made her last days easier
than her earlier ones had been.

A GREAT outcry has been raised in
the Swiss Canton Tessin against the
prevalence there of bribery at elections.
The political workers are constantly
racking their brains to devise new
means of buying votes. The Mayor of
a small city near Locarno recently,
while running for reelection, invited
every man who would promise to vote
for him to eat and drink at his ex-
pense for three months at certain
specified taverns. The success of his
plan is shown by the fact that he was
reelected, and that his bills at the
tavern in question amounted to $4,000
francs. Votes bought in the old-fash-
toned way cost from 20 cents to So
each. Even the clergy are said to
bride electors right and left.

WE shall have to cease talking of
American fre-proof buildings. Recent
fires have demonstrated that there is
no such thing. During the last few
years great progress has been made by
architects and builders in reducing the
combustibility of buildings, but the
best of them will burn, and it is mis-
homer to call any fire-proof. Some OF
the so-called fre-proof buildings may
resist an ordinary fire, but none of them
can Withstand great one. The best
that architects and builders can do is
to reduce the chances of burning to a
minimum and provide simple means Of
escape in case of fire.
