STOCK AND FARM.
The Concordia Empire believes there
will be a much larger acreage of wheat
sown in Cloud county this year than
ever before.
Harper Sentinel: J. N. Baker, near
Crystal, threshed twenty acres of wheat
that yielded 5274 bushels, and between
five and six acres of oats which made
800 bushels. He has 100 acres of corn
besides.
Oxford Mocking Bro: Noah Bow
man had altogether about 1000 bushels
of grain. His wheat averaged eighteen
bushels per acre, while part of his oats
made seventy-five bushels per acre,
threshing $50 bushels from ten acres.
Cedar Vale Star: NJ. Bumgarner
reports good crop of very fine Bell
flower apples this year, the first full
crop IN the eighteen years the orchard
this year, however, to almost make
amend.
Kansas City, No, Journal: The man
who says that western Kansas is not q
good country should step down to the
stock yards and see the fine specimens
of cattle brought in from beyond Dodge
City. Finer ones cannot be produced
from anywhere.
Mankato Monitor: AL DeHoff has
had a successful season at farming.
He has done his own work, with the
exception of six days, and has threshed
LOGO bushels of small grain, and will
have 1000 bushels of corn, besides po-
tatoes and a variety of other vegeta-
bles. Not bad summers work for one
man.
Fred Wellhouse. one of the heaviest
fruit growers in the state, says his APP
pie crop will be nothing this year to
what it was last season. 81 made money
on my crop last year." ne continued,
but this year 1 will make nothing. The
apple crop throughout the state will
not be good. There are plenty of APP
pies, but the quality Is not irst-class."
Harper Sc tinsl: ]. Jones, of Chi
caskia township, has threshed his crop.
He had 2,700 bushels of wheat and
2,314 bushels of oats. Some of his

poorest of which he has husked and
finds it makes sixty-fve bushels per
acre. Mr.. Jones and his 10-year- old
son have raised this crop.
Gypsum Advocate: In Kingman's
orchard, adjoining the city, can be seen
some apple trees with their load of fruit
that excels anything we have ever seen
in the palmiest apple days of northern
Ohio. They are from fifteen to twenty
feet in height and occupy in width
about twenty feet square. with limbs
from top to bottom, bowling gracefully
to the earth with their weight Of APP
pies.

crop IN this county is the finest that
has been raised for many years. First
class cooking apples are being sold
from house to house for cents peck.

some years be worth a dollar or dollar
and half for shipping are now being
sold at the mill and made into cider
that sells for 10 cents per gallon.

Topeka Capital: AS good deal of in
terest has been manifested as to the
breeding OF the yearliDg FLY, Mary,
that won the 81 900 stake at the state
fair, it is pleasant to learn that Mary,
her sire, dam. and paternal grand dam
were all bred in this county, and the
sire of her dam, although bred by one
of our breeders in Orange county, New
York, was raised here also. This is sale
to have been the hardest contested race
for yearlinQs on record, and among i'll
nine starters the only two Kansas colts
that were able to stay and trot the las
heat were both grand descendants o
Robert McGregOr. The other colt tina
also finished in the race belongs in Ne
