STOCK AND FARM.

Butler county has upwards of $4,000
acres in fax, which will yield from eight
to twelve bushels of seed per acre. The
county has also $4,000 sheep.
The Barnes Enterprise says that a
farmer near Barnes planted an ash
grove ten years ago. This spring he
cut saw log from the grove measuring
fourteen inches in diameter.
Council Grove Guard: A Morris
county farmer has, already this season,
sold 1855 quarts of cherries, and the
season is not yet half over. At 8 cents
quart these cherries brought him
S1O9.5O.
Stockton Record: All reports to the
effect that Rocks county wheat has
been injured by worms are perfectly
groundless. The only trouble is how
TO get enough machines and men to
handle the big crop.
Ashland Clipper: O. 7. Slaughter
showed us some turnips raised on his
Appleton township farm many of which
measured fifteen inches in circumfer-
ence. His way of raising them Is to
plant in rows and cultivate. This he
thinks to be the best way to raise good
turnips.
Arkansas City Traveller: S. E. Max
we'll noticed chinch bugs in his corn.
He sent to Prof. Snow and got some
infected bugs and put in his field. Now
he can scrape up dead chinch bugs by
the gallons. He advises all who have
bugs in their corn to send to Prof
Snow for bugs.
Colby letter: Some little difficulty
in securing harVesters has arisen from
the fact that the demand has been
greater than the most sanguine could
have predicted, and two carloads of
binders would find ready sale here. 1t
is estimated that in Thomas county the
wheat crop will be 100000 bushels.
Near jamestown, on the ''divide" in
Cloud county, is the handsome and
we'll cultivated farm of Enos Rushton,
who located there upwards of twenty
years ago. He is one of the largest
apple-raisers on the highlands in that
county, having over 200 trees bearing
He says the prospects at this time
point to the largest yield he has ever
known.
Wichita Eagle: Probably no coun-
try in the world. California not except
ed, ever equalled Kansas in the prolific
abundance of fruits this season. Fruit
bearing vines, bushes and trees of
every character, have been and are bur-
dened and breaking down under I'M
exampled loads of fruit. Frank Yike
sent some limbs of cherry trees which
would have passed the belief of the mere
say-so of anyone. The fruit hung to
the limbs as close as it conld be well
stuck on, and the cherries measured
from two to three inches in circumfer-
ence.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The citizens of Natoma, Osborne
county, have filed petition with the
board of railroad commissioners, asking
that the Union Pacific railroad be com
PEELED to establish station facilities at
that point.
Emporia Republican: About 500
feet of TIE track of the Howard Branch
railroad between Madison and Olpe was
washed out by the heavy rain. Passen-
gers going and coming changed cars at
the washout.
Kansas City Gazette: Use of tie big
ten-wheel engines, weighing from 80 to
ITO tons, has been discontinued on the
q. P. between Kansas City and Denver,
owing to the rapid destruction of the
road under their immense weight.
They will be transferred to the Omaha
division.
The Rock Island has compiled
statement of the wheat yield
in fifty counties tributary to that road.
The reports show that the average
yield tributary to that road is 1920
600 with an estimate of twenty bushels
to the acre. giving yield of 24,6Oo,-
600 bushels
The Santa Fe's turn-tsble at Argen-
tine was broken, and fourteen engines
were shut up in the round house unable
to get out until new castings could be
made. Three of the helpless steeds
are used on the western run, and It has
been necessary to use several cut off
engines in their places
Topeka Journal; For several weeks
it has been generally understood in
railroad circles that on July LIST Assist
ant General Passenger Agent S. F.
Boyd would be removed to Chicago
and that the general passenger office
here would be closed; but to-day it is
learned that the Topeka Office is not to
be closed, but Maj. Tom Anderson, at
present general agent has been appoint
cd assistant general passenger agent to
succeed Mr.. Boyd, whose title Is to be
first assistant general passenger agent.
The first intimation Major Anderson
had of his promotion was when he re-
ceiVsd telegram summoning him to
Chicago. It then dawned upon the
Topeka officials of the road that it might
be that Major Anderson was to succeed
Mr.. Boyd, and this idea was confirmed
by telegram sent out of Chicago an
nOuneing the appointments.

ALWAYS try to see the new moon for
the first time over your left shoulder.
There is an old superstition that says
it's good luck. If it isn't good luck it
does no harm, unless you twist your
neck too much.
ITs the cornered rat that fights
fercest, and this also holds good with
men therefore always do your fighting
in the open where each has an equal
chance to run.
THE pen is mightier than the sword,
and the dollar is mightier than the pen,
consequently the dollar has the call.
Look out for the dollars, and the pen
and sword will look out for themselves.
THE man who laughs the loudest is
not always the one who is most
pleased; policy sometimes does in place
of capital. Have some policy about
you.-Teras S5ti7las.

Can a Man Get Dog License for Pig,
and, if Not, What Can He Do?
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, which has lately
assumed the management of the Public
Pound, and John Partridge, who is the
officiating Poundkeeper of this city and
county, are in trouble. 1t is all over a
pig-the pet of a man who walks the
streets followed by the animal, which
wears blanket and tamely answers its
masters call whenever it is given.
Neither the pig nor the man appar-
emily know that they are the subject
of a much mixed controversy, but such
Is the case. Questions concerning that
pig are pouring into the Offices of the
Poundkeeper and the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals daily,
and are becoming more complicated as
the time goes on. Here are some of
them:
If a pig assumes the manners and
privileges of a dog, is is not also COM
PEELED to take upon itself the same re-
sponsibilities the dog has to carry?
Why is this pig not regularly regis
tered and licensed, and why does it not
have a tag attached to its collar, which
puts it on an equal footing with dog
What right has this pig to the free
dom of the city?
What legal standing has this pig, in
case it gets itself into any trouble?
What is the difference between dog
and a pig from legal point of view
How can a man take out a dog
license for a pig, and would not q pig
travelling with such a permit be liable
to be arrested for false pretenses?
If Mr.. Partridge or his deputies seize
this pig for not being licensed will not
its owner have a good cause of action
for damage suit against the city and
county?
Such are the knotty problems Mr..
Partridge has to wrestle with, and it is
because he doesn't know any solution
of them that his nights are either
sleepless or troubled with dreams, in
which he sees people with every kind
of animal from an elephant to a
mouse following them about the streets
as pets.-San Francisco Chronicle.

selhshness.

Selfishness, not money, is the root of
all evil. All the great schemes for the
improvement of mankind fail from ig-
noring the natural selfishness Of all
mankind. The theories of the social
lists sound beautiful, and their argu-
ments are convincing until you take
into consideration the humanity of
man. and his humanity is selfshness.
Both socialists and communists lose
sight OF this, and of anarchy, selfish
ness is the keystone. The successful
man, the man who piles up his thous-
ands long after he has acquired more
than he can possibly enjoy. Is but Civ
ing play to his selfish instincts to keep
from the less fortunate ali he can and
make it his own. The man who ac-
quires wealth may not be more selfish
than other men. but he has with his
selishness the faculty of gratifying it
to q greater extent than others. Turn
whatever way he viii, the theorist Is
confronted by the insurmountable wall
of individual selfishness, and until the
nature of man is changed his hopes
must fail.-Terds Strings.

Many are the pitfalls that lie in the
path of the man who sits down to make
his will, says the London NelUs. In a
case recently tried in the probate court
the witness were stated in the usual
words to have "hereunto subscribed
their names" 1t happened that these
witnesses signatures were written in
the margin and somewhat higher than
these attesting words. Hence arose
the grave question, could a signature
be said to be subscribed, when, strictly
speaking, it was superscribed 1t is
easy to conceive a judge of rigidly log
zeal tendencies who would have de-
cided that there had been in this
case no proper attestation. Fortunate
", Sir G. Parker Butt, fortified by a
decision of Lord Campbell, decided
that, though it might seem a strange
Interpretation to put upon the word
subscribe" to hold that writing the
witnesses name above the testator's
signature in the margin was a compli-
ance with the act, yet in the eyes of
the law the word Subscribe" simply
means signing the name without any
reference to its position on the docu-
ment."
