The Santa Fe has bought new equip

Salina Republican: There were sew

Pennsylvania to attend some conven-

The new through rates on grain and

state commerce commission, adopted on
the notice of the Rock Island putin g
them into effect under the rules of the

to make enough to pay for the haul.
The new tariff leaves them only about
four cents as the balance of the through
rate. and effectually shuts them out

buildings should be erected, and DEM
oEstrated to the department that the
present accommodations were very
much crowded. Haskell institute, the
Indian school at Lawrence, is only
few years old, but its growth has been
very rapid, and it is now one OF the
most important schools under the In
dian bureau. The ommissioner OF In
dian affairs and the secretary of the in
terror have decided to increase its ca
pacity, and to that end a number OF
new buildings will be erected at once.
The estimates agreed upon provide for
a block of new industrial shops, to cost
$4,000: a store and warehouse, $4,000;
an Office building, 80. 500; mess house
S3.500; three cottages, $1,000 each,
and two lavatories, $4,000 each. The
total cost of the improvements will be
$4,000. Bids will be advertised at
once and the contract let, so that work
may begin as early as possible.

STOCK AND FARM.

Hutchinson News: Captain J. G.
Lee is in the city, having brought sew
eral thousand head of New Mexico cat
tie into Reno county for the winter.
This is the fourth time the Lee cattle
company have brought their stock into
this county for the winter. They do
this because of the excellent supply of
water and abundance of feed. This
practice of bringing cattle from the
range has proved very profitable to
Reno county farmers, and as evidence
that it also pays the cattlemen is the
fact that each year more are brought
here. Next year the company OF which
Captain Lee is the head will winter
5000 head in this county.
Leavenworth Times: The present
apple crop of Leavenworth county, like
our vast coal deposits, seems almost in
exhaustible. For several months now,
apples have been coming into this mar
ket by the hundreds of wagon loads,
and yet there seems to be no percepti-
bic dimin ution of the supply. Thou
sands and thousands of barrels are
shipped every week, and this will be
kept up for some weeks yet to come.
What will the people of the country
think of $4,000 barrels of this luscious
fruit being packed in Leavenworth
every week? These figures are not ex-
aggerated in the leas

Kansas City Gazette: By November
10, 1890, the Methodist Protestant
mission Sunday school will occupy a
handsome new tabernacle. About Janu-
airy, 1890. Rev. S. A. Baker, now pas
tor of tie Gordon Place Methodist
Protestant church, organized a Sunday
school in little room and worked ear
nestly until the church established a
mission society, and then Rev. Fred
ericks, superintendent, took charge
and has put a good deal of his
time in that field and accomplished
good results. His school now numbers
in membership seventy-tive scholars
and is growing so fast that the build
ing of the tabernacle was necessary.
The foundation of the same is already
completed, and the building is beng
pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t will
be 44x100 and will have seating ca
pacity of from 700 to 1000. This
building is only put up temporarily
until permanent organization is effect
ed, when a fine edlfce will be built.
The Methodist Protestant society is To-

They admit that they have a large
field to work in the Edgerton place dis

Destroying Weeds.

Destroying weeds.
 Weeds in garden beds or drills ought always to be destroyed before they reach the surface of the ground. They are often allowed to. grow several inches high, and not infrequently foot or more, and to ripen their seed. Those who are willing to take the trouble will find it quite interesting to try the differ ent modes, noting the time accurately, and observing the contrast. Take, for example, full sized onion bed; before any of the weeds have made their ap- pearance run fine steel rake over all the surface between the rows in one-half the bed; in a week, whether there are weeds or not, go over again, and so on through the season once week.
 On the other half, wait a month, till the weeds are six inches high, and then hoe and pull them out by hand. Many small ones will escape, and in a week or two will be as high as any of their pre- decessors; treat these in the same way. Now, if you have kept a record, by the watch, of the time consumed on the two parts of the bed, you will find that the weekly dressing, although so much oftener, has taken several times less work than the hoeing and hand wedding, and the crop in the constantly mellow ground has far outgrown the other. The result has been proved by actual experiment.- Country Gentleman.

The Requirements of Fruit Trees.


 The copious manuring or top dressing so important for the successful growth and fine bearing of apple trees, might destroy cherry tree. Apeach tree will bear free cutting back to bring 1t into good shape; cherry tree may be seriously injured by such pruning during the growing season, and sometimes the trees are killed by it. Free manuring of dwarf pear trees is absolutely essential, and with some standards it makes the difference between large fine, delicious specimens and small ones. The cherry will succeed better standing in grass sod than the peach tree and standard pears better than dwarfs. But all kinds of fruit trees require free cultivation, at least while the trees are young; and af- terwards, if allowed to stand in grass, top dressing with manure is important. Fruit Recorder.
