STOCK AND FARM.

Barnes Enterprise: The farmers are
not cutting up near as much corn this
fall as they did last year, on account OF
the hay crop being extraordinary large.
Anthony Republican: Jess Williams,
farmer living six miles northwest of
town, threshed twenty-five acres Of oats
that yielded 1,150 bushels, machine
measure.
Clyde Argus: A certain farmer in
this vicinity renter, TOBIAS piece
of corn which cost him Just twenty eight
days labor up to the present time, and
to-day, in the field, it will bring him
S240 net cash. That means 1887 per
day. Pretty good wages, isn't it?
Farming pays.
Concordia Daylight: Captain T. II.
Heckert left us specimen ears of the
early mastodon corn. 1t is one of the
largest varieties of early corn, natures
in 120 days, and is from eight to nine
inches in length. The captain Is we'll
pleased with it, as it has yielded more
than any other variety on the farm.
Douglas Tribune: About a year ago
Jesse White bought the Woodward
farm, just beyond eight miles, paying a
fair price as land is selling now and was
then. He seeded part of the land to
wheat, and the crop is worth what he
paid for the farm. There are lots of
Just such instances, SO far as the worth
Of crops are concerned.
The bank of Glen Elder harvested
525 acres of wheat. Enough of it has
been threshed to estimate an average
yield of twenty-five bushels. Some of
it threshed out thirtv-fve bushels.
They also have seventy-five acres of
corn which will yield fifty bushels an
acre. They will farm not less than 1000
acres next year IN Mitchell county, SOW
ing most Of it in wheat.
Leavenworth Standard: ]. T. White,

ing after the Texas fever among the
cattle. He found the eight first quar-
antined still under care, and re-issued
the order that no southern cattle be re-
eeiyed in Leaven worth for several weeks.
There are few now cases.
Garrett Eagle: We took a ride
through the-eastern part of this county
and all the way We noted with pleasure
the immense hay ricks and big stacks
on every farm. Another good thing
about it is nearly every ton of the i'm

age it. Anderson county farmers are all
right for feed next winter.
Minneapolis Messenger: George Nc
Conkey came to Kansas about twelve
years since with enough capital to COM
mence work on a rented farm, since
when he has purchased three-quarters of
$50 acres of land, has now under lease
$50 acres more; has also fine herd Of
cattle and a number of horses; he few
days since threshed nearly 1,600 bush
els of wheat and about 500 bushels of
oats; has an excellent show for a corn
crop.
Emporia Republican: ]. W. Riley,
who resides one mile southeast of the
city, brought to this Office a basket Of
sweet potatoes of the finest and best
kind. From one half-acre lot he has
already sold $40 worth, and will get $50
or $40 worth more out of the same
patch. Ground that will turn out 5000
worth of truck per acre, besides supply
ing the family, is better than bank stock
to those who know how to use it. He
also brought samples of dwarf celery,
which he says Is winter, more tender
and possesses a finer flavor than the
usual kind.
