STOCK AND FARM.

Cherrygale Republican: One of the
horses sent from here took first pre-
MUM at the state fair at Salem, Ore.
Hundreds of farms in Barber county
produced crops that have already been
marketed for more cash than the farms
would have brought couple of years
ago.
Dighton Herald: Mr. DeLano
threshed one piece of wheat last week
which made a yield of twenty nine
bushels to the acre and tested sixty-two
pounds.
An Atchison comfy farmer raised a
field of corn that yielded fifty bushels
to the acre, after having harvested a
crop of wheat from the same ground
this season.
Wichita Eagle: Hon. J. W. Hammil-
ton, OF Nashville, Kingman county, says
cattle are in excellent condition and
that many people from abroad are
rushing them into Kingman county
from all sides to feed during the winter
Cheney Herald: The apple crop in
this vicinity is the best ever raised in
this section of Kansas. The quality
and favor are excellent and the price
IS cents per bushel, is ample pay for
the trouble OF planting and caring for
the orchard
Engiewood Chief: The broom corn
harvest is now at its height. The quail
ity of the crop Is excellent and the yield
enormous. Something over fifty tons
will be marketed from Englewood and
will bring a very great sum of money
into the community.

the vicinity of Cheney is by far the
best that has been raised since 1873

of fine flavor, and remind one of the
quality raised in Indiana and other
eastern states. They retail in the mar
ket at 70 cents per busheL
Stafford Herald: One of our early
settlers, living about six miles south
east of town. conceived the idea, last
spring, that he could make more money
in the new west than by working his
farm. He had in seventy acres of
wheat which he sold for $75. The wheat
when threshed made little over 81, 900
after all expense was paid.
Bluff City Independent: We have
heard number of men that have driven
over the county a great deal say that
not more than half of the wheat crop
/ has been threshed. Owing to the fact
/ that quite a number of the machines
will be idle greater part of this month
on account of short crews, as every
available man has been pressed into
blowing, narrowing and seeding the
| fall crop of wheat, threshing will con-
tinue all through the winter months.
Bluff City Independent: Alonzo
| Stout's wheat averaged thirty bushels
Der acre. Samuel Stewart had three
acres of Fuleaster wheat that averaged
forty bushels per acre. His Turkey
wheat turned out thirty bushels per
acre. The Fulcaster wheat is a new
variety and is as yet not very we'll
known by the farmers, but if it proves
to be as good as it looks, its fame will
soon spread. This wheat is success
fully raised near Argonia, and can be
bought for seed at about So cents 9

Ahilene.-The success of the summer
race meeting has induced the Fair asso-
citation to give a fall meeting at the
close of the state circuit, October % to
81 inclusive. The leading horsemen OF
the state want to make records for their
flyers on the Abilene track and promise
TO send their string here. The races
will all be stake races with SO entry,
entries closing October 26. The last
day will be devoted to specials for rec
ords, at which some fast time is ex-
pected. The horse-breeding industry
has received a great impetus from the
Abilene track, and the horses exported
from the county to eastern markets
amount to hundreds of carloads yearly
making a considerable portion of the
farmers income.
