STOCK AND FARM,

Phi1lipsburg Dispatch: A. J. Colby
left us very fine specimen of broom
corn. He says that the hot weather
has not hurt broom corn any, and that
he has one hundred acres nearly ready
to cut.
Efingham Times: A. B. Young says
his corn is going to be good. He says
he has as good prospect as he ever
had and thinks it will turn ont from
forty to fifty bushels to the acre. Mr..
Young lives southeast of town and has
been blessed with a good many show
ers.
Arkansas City Traveller: A. w.
Conway, of Bolton township, brought
to this Office some as fine samples of
new corn as ever grew in this county.
He has about fifty acres, which will
make at least forty.fve bushels to the
acre. Cowley will raise lots of corn
this year. and the farmers will receive
big money for it.
From Belleyille: Hon. I. O. Savage.
who has been over a good part of the
county, says there is no doubt that this
county will have third as large crop
of corn as last year. There are over
two million bushels OF old corn yet held
by the farmers, and with the assurance
of third of last years crop the county
is in good shape.
Greensburg Signal: From the fol-
lowing you may make your own esti-
nation of the amount of wheat that
will be sown in Kiowa county this fall
NJ. 81. Kenaga, 100 acres; John Steffen,
$50 acres; w. r. Bryant, 100 acres; r.
NJ. Mckinley, 800 acres; Ollinger and
sons, 800 acres; Theodore Schowen-
gerdt, 100 acres: Robt. McCombs, so
acres; Frank Phillips, 800 acres; Minor
Shuck, 500 acres; Adolph kruse, 800
acres. and John r. Hickman. 100 acres.
It will be safe to say that there will be
$4,000 acres sown in Kiowa county this
fall.
Hutchinson News: Fred Ryde. of
this city, was displaying samples of
corn raised on the farm of Peter Nv
borg, Of Clay township, east of this
city. The ears shown are very large
and perfect in every respect. Mr.. NY
borg has seventy acres, all of which will
make good corn. They have had no
rain in that district upward of six
weeks. The corn, however, was planted
deep and has been well cultivated.
Wichita Eagle: There is going to
be an immense belt sown to wheat this
fall in southern Kansas. Flowing for
it is going rapidly forward now. lizard
wheat" is the word all along the line.
Another such rain as that Monday
morning, however, is des,red to render
the ground in prime condition for plow-
ing and seeding. Hard, or Turkey,
wheat is the surest in southern Kansas /:
in fact, it seldom fails. There is but
two cents bushel between the market
price of the hard and the price of the
soft wheat. The hard wheat makes
splendid fall pasture, and it is next to
impossible to kill it or even injure it by
pasture feeding.

So long as the failing embers of vitality
are capable of being re-kindled into a warm
and genial glow, just so long there is hope
for the weak, emaciated invalid. Let him
not. therefore, despond, but derive encour-
agement from this and from the further fact
that there is restorative most potent in re-
newing the dilapidated powers of the broken
down system. Yes, thanks to Its unexam-
pied tonic virtues, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is daily reviving strength in the bodies
and hope in the minds of the feeble

the acquisition of flesh and color, are bles-
sings attendant upon the reparatIve process
es which this priceless invigorant speedily
initiates and carries to successful conclu-
sion. Digestion is restored, the blood fer
tilted and sustenance afforded to each life

CARPENTERS and painters have fire.
quent occasion to fill nail-holes and
other defects in the woodwork of
houses. Putty is the substance relied
upon to do this work, but there are OBJ
jections to its use. The Scientific
american recommends substitute.
The following method of filling old
nail-holes in wood is not only simple
but is said to be effectual. Take fine
sawdust and mix into a thick paste
with glue, pound it into the hole, and
when dry it will max the wood as good
as new. One correspondent says he
has followed this for thirty years with
unvarying success in repairing bellows,
which is the most severe test known.
Often by frequent attachment of new
leather to old bellows frames the wood
becomes so perforated that there is no
space to drive the nails, and even if
there was the remaining holes would
allow the air to escape. s. treatment
with glue and sawdust paste invariably
does the work, while lead, putty and
other remedies always fail.

writes that he has revised their tariff
to conform to the order of the board,

Der 1.
An advance sheet of Poor's manual
Just received at the Office of the rail-
road commissioners shows that the
total number miles of railroads in the
United States is 161, 1926, OF this Kan
sas has $50 standing second in the
list, Illinois being first having 1854
miles. Kansas has one mile of railroad
to every 9.32 square miles and one mile
to eyer 1926 inhabitants, with an as
sessed valuation of S245 per capita.
Topeka Journal: The talk about the
probable refusal of the railroads to COM
ply with the order of railroad commits
sioners lowering local freight rates in
Kansas, is without foundation. The
fact is that the railroad representatives
have neither before nor since the order
was made. either orally or in writing,
given the board even an intimation that
they will not comply with the order just
as they have always complied with the
orders of the board. Railroad Com
missioner Greene said that the talk to
the contrary is all bosh. He says that
he has no doubt whatever that the order
will be complied with and that the rate
will be put into effect at the time sug-
gested, September 1.
