er's and their races had an effort been
made in time. Last Friday evening L.
G. MOllOy circulated among the people
and with little assistance, he secured
good subscriptions amounting to about
81 900 IN few hours. A county fair
should be held anyway, though the
breeders association will be held at

Miss Palmer, of Wichita, one of the
company that is making experiments
with raising India silk cocoons, was
here one day last week, looking over
the natural advantages possessed by
Medicine Lodge and Barber county as
suitable place for central plant and
factory. The India silk worms differ
from all others in that they will eat al
most anything green and thrive on it..
Apple, cherry and peach leaves are as
good fof them as mulberry or Usage
orange leaves. Miss Halmer is in cor
respondence with the Beldens, the New
York silk men and they are calculating
on locating a mill somewhere in the
west. 1t is possible that Medicine
Lodge with its water power and other
H.: tnral advantages may be selected as
the place. But ISrst. the people would
have to commence raising silk.
