others in the country. Our representa-
tives in the mountains consist of organized
parties that have selected sequestered
spots where they carry on their sports and
indulge in the process Of the desired re-
frigeration. Here is fishing, mountain
climbing and cunning, but very little
dressing. Time was, say in SO, when Man
itou was made up of Wichitans, who sat
on the front verandas of fve-dollar a-day
hotels in filmy furbelows and illusionary
laces in silks and satins, broadcloth and
patent leather guying the newcomers,
munching candied rose leaves and smoking
fifty-cent cigars, with swollen pocket
book and a wonderful disdain for any
thing jay. Those were gala days for the
Wichita crowd. They were in the major
ity at the mineral wells, had aplurality on
the top of Pixies peak and dominated at
the Garden of the Gods.

A friend hands me clipping from the
Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is from the pen
of Leonard Washb urne. Mr.. Washburne
was one of the brightest young men who
ever struck Wichita. He does the base
ball reports for the Chicago ter-Ocean
and the publication of his name with this
extract shows that his ability is regarded
by the press as something more than
reportorial. His humor is characteristics
1t reads:
Leonard Washburue, OF the Chicago
Inter-Ocean, discusses the new New York
pitcher as follows:
"Rusie! He is not a handsome man.
His legs lack repose. his fists are too large
for their age, his face is clam-chowder
dream and his neck is so ineXtensive that
he cannot wear collar without embar-
RAISING his ears
But how that big, lop-sided man can
pitch ball! The sturdy Adrian c. Arson,
of this place, has had enough of Mr..
Rusie to last him until the heavens are
rolled together as scroll. When
Colonel Arson goes to bed, Rusie,
a hideOus and CHASTITY shape, sits on
the foot board with flaming eyes. All the
long day Rusie, an invisible presence,
grim and terrible, is at his shoulder. He
gives Mr. Arson an iciness. sickening of
the heart, an unredeemed dreariness,
which no goading Of the mind can remove
Through the dark nights Mr.. Arson hears
but the ceaseless swish of ball that
shoots by him into eternity with the
frightful speed of q flaming meteor across
the inky sky. He hears the cracked voice
of a low, brutal umpire remarking that he
is out, and then he sees parboiled face
grinning at him through the gloom. 1t is
Rusie."

Speaking Of the management of house
households, Mrs. NJ. j. Sherman was tell
ing me recently of the strict economy. one
may say penuriousness. with which a
house in Germany is conducted. Mrs.
Sherman has but lately returned from the
fatherland. and, as she took up her abode
in a family, she had an excellent oppor-
tunity to witness the peculiartes of a
country. The German lady, she says, al
ways carries bunch of keys at her waist,
and these all turn with a smart click de-
family in all the cloth presses, china
closets and cupboards. When the family
has finished meal it is the duty of the
housewife to lay out so much bread and
so much meat for the servant. She is then
called in and given her allowance, which
she eats in the kitchen. The rest of the
provisions are locked up. Everything is
utilized. The little green berries that are
left on the stem after rose has grown old
and fallen away are gathered and sold in
the market to make jelly Of At one place
Mrs. Sherman said the mistress OF the
house broke wooden toothpicks in two,
with the remark that one point was
enough for anybody.

story. This, of course, will be highly in

Several of Hypatia's members have hand

is pretty generally known, has but little
trouble in having her work accepted, as
her articles in Frank Leslie's Weekly and

You went into Estes park and you found
the Wichita man shooting deer. Pene-
trate the rocky confines beyond Leadville,
and you would find the Wichita incubating
for winter use soul-stirring stories Of
the big trout that was clear out of the
water when the hook broke. Loiter by
the crowded ball room at Manitou and the
plump arms and glowing shoulders of the
prettiest, gayest women were from Wich
tia. The swallow-tail coat with a perfec-
ton fit, and of the proper length to an

longed TO the Wichita man. He was
ubiquitous and on a pedestal of silver

to keep this up for the remainder of their
life, it is impossible to say, but they were

the advantage they would give palatial

made no objection to this, but in strange

Such a lack or management and super

AGRICULTURAL.
The Day Of Costly Silos
is Past.
THE STOCK AND THE DAIRY.
Materials Required for Building a
Cheap Silo-Raising Pullets
for Eggs-Ete.
THE STOCK AND THE DAIRY.

The day of costly silos is past, says
Director Whitcher of the New Hamp-
shire station, and it is this fact alone
which enables the rapid extension of his
system OF storage. A wooden silo keeps
its contents with less loss than a stone
or cement one chiefly because OF the
penetration of air through mortar and
cement. A siIo built independent of
the barn can be built for 81 per ton of
capacity, if the capacity is above sew
enty-fve tons. If built in the corner OF
a barn, the cost of labor and material
will be about half that sum. A silo lex
l6x25 feet will hold 100 tons.
AS stated in bulletin of the station
above mentioned, if built in the corner
of barn, it will require forty pieces OF
studding, 2xS. twenty-five feet long-6S0
feet =, four pieces basement stills, SIS,
SCI, Zen feet long-360 feet; boards FIR
innde wall, $500. The boards should
not be over seven inches wide, planed
on one side, and the inside course made
to break joints with the outside course.
Matching the boards is useless. Com
mon covering boards free from loose
knots are good enough. AMI in many
cases the barn frame and studding can
be partly utilized and the above guam
tity of lumber be considerably reduced.
A cement bottom, though not necessary,
is desirable.
Among the advantages enumerated for
the silo are the following: More actual
food material can be produced from an
acre of corn than from any other Of our
common farm crops. Three times as
mach dry substance may be produced
rom given area of corn as from a like
area of grass. The objection sometimes
made that ensilage is too watery is met
with the statement that it is not as wa
terry as pasture grass in June.
The farmer who has silo is about as
independent of the weather as man
can be. Aside from heavy rains nothing
interrupts this kind of harvesting. Light
rain and showers, while making the
work disagreeable, do not stop it, and
when once properly in the siio all danger
Of imperfect curing is past. The early
date at which the land can be cleared
makes it possible to either seed down to
grass or winter grain month before corn
in the shock would be dry enough to
husk. Another advantage in the North
is that varieties of larger and later
growth may be planted for this purpose
that will not ripen before frost.

Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is perennial plant, in many
respects resembling clover. 1t has long
been known in Europe, and its most ex-
tensiye cultivation in this country is in
California and some of the Western and
Southern States. 1t seems especially
adapted to dry climates, and succeeds
best on light sandy or loan soil with
subsoil through which its long top roots
can penetrate and find their way to mois-
ture. 1t has been grown successfully at
the Geneva station in New York, but in
experiments on farms in different parts
OF Vermont has been largely winter
killed. 1t will not thrive among weeds,
but must have clean land the first wear.
In reply to inquiries that have been
made no better answer can be given than
brief statement of some of its bad and
and good points as discovered at differ
ent state stations throughout the conn
try and summarized by the central Office
at Washington.
Among its disadvantages it has been
found less hardy than clover and not so
easily established. If allowed to grow
too long, the stalks become hard and
woody. Cattle cannot be safely pastured
on it except in dry regions. 1t requires
peculiar treatment to make good hay.
Its good qualities are that, when once
well established, it lasts for years. 1t
withstands drought well, grows rapidly
and may be cut early, and will furnish
several crops of green fodder each sea-
son. If properly cured, it makes good
hay and is relished by all farm animals.
In brief, while valuable as a feeding stuff
and as fertilizing crop, it requires pc
culiar conditions of climate and soil for
its growth and careful culture and curing
to make it profitable crop.
