LIVING AND LOVING.
By MATTE HOLLAND SWAMI.

1t isn't life's purple and gold, dear,
That makes 1t best worth living;
Not always the very costliest gifts
Are dearest and best worth giving;
The heart that beats in truest time
With the music Of creation
Is happier far than his whose will
Can make or mar nation.
The little sunny CLEANS that prove
Our dark clouds hopeful lining
Arc brighter. dear, than il we had
Walked always in the shining.
do not think God loves Us less,
Or frowns on us hereafter
Because we cover up a sigh
With single hearted laughter.
There is no heart so poor but gives,
If il but will, a treasure
Richer than any kings may own,
Greater than time can measure.
No life can e'cr be poor and cold.
Or craving some new blessing,
That hath and holdeth fairy gold.
Loves gracious self possessing.
Love soundeth depths that none may reacI
With any common pfunnet,
II leadeth up to heights beyond
This work-a-day life's summit.
4 little tender. human love,
Just at the right time given.
Goes far To make this sad old earth
Seem like piece of Heaven.

Wheat Culture.
The principles of wheat cuIturc are
simple, but there are few points that
should be well learned. One is. that
there should be Il good seed bed. One
blowing is sufficient, but the harrow and
roller cannot be COO much used. The
led should be well compacteI by the
roller, and made very fine nn top to The
depth of two or three inches. The fer
1ilizcr used should be thoroughly mixed
with this line surface, not put below ii
with the pillow, and, ii it is homemade,
should be old and fine, 50 thai il is at
once available for use by the starting
plants. Try Ia sow after rain instead
Of before. and as soon after a. the land
will permit working: do not dust in
the wheat and trust 10 luck for sufficient
moisture TO give it start. Between one
and two inches is the happy medium Of
depth at which to sow. and this can best
be attained by having regulating wheels
upon each tube of the drill To ensure reg
uIarity Of depths and To press the soil
close about the seed. 10 ensure germiu-
alton the seed must com" into contact
with the soil. If the ground is dry. or
slightly IDLY, much Of it fails 10 do
this under ordinary methods. Use good
grain only fer seed, clean and screen re-
peatedly. SO that al foreign seeds and
weak grains of wheat are east out. Put
it through strong blast, 50 that only
the heaviest will remain Repeated cN-
perimcnts have proven beyond question
that it pays TO use selected seed. Lastly,
cut down YoTr proposed area by large
percentage and put the extra labor and
fertilizer on the rest, and you will reap a
greater net reward at the end of the har-
vest.

Alphonso Cannon. of the widely known
grain firm of Cannon s. Co., of Galveston,
Tex, is in the city. visiting Robert Will
Jams and incidentally keeping his business
eye open 10 the interest of his firm in this
part of the country. Mr.. Cannon at one
time lived in this city and be is proud of
it, for he states without equivocation or
mental reservation that it is the best city
in the southwest, with the exception, of
course, of Galveston. All Texas recognize
Wichita as the great city of Kansas, and
if Topeka, Atchinson, Leavenworth or
Fort Scott are mentioned to stranger he
invariably asks how far they are from
Wichita, thus recognizing the Peerless
Princess as the great city of the common
wealth. He ridicules the idea that Velasco
is rival of Galveston's, and he knows
whereof he speaks. for he first saw the
light of day on the banks of the Brazos.
He is surprised to think that Wichita has
no adequate storage facilities and is at a
loss to know why people of such charac-
teristic enterprise have neglected to build
one. Mr.. Cannon will stay in the city a
few days
