Fl. D. Rush, Leavenworth's big miller,
says that he is satisfied by his cores
pondence from all parts Of Kansas that
the wheat crop this year will be the
largest ever harvested. At a low esti-
mate he thinks it will exceed $4,000, 900
bushels. "The oat crop" he said, Twill
be lighE. A success in oats in Kansas
means failure in corn. In the thirty
four years l have been in the state 1
have never seen such favorable prospects
for a large corn crop. The sub-soil is
saturated to the depth of six or eight
feet and, in my opinion, the corn crop
in Kansas this year will be the largest

GRANDMAMMA,s FAN.

Ivory sticks and painted faea
Bits Of yellow. tattered lace,
Tiny mirror set in place,
Beauty sadly married by age,
But q treasure I'll engage
When the minues was the raee
Fancy can see her now
Powdered locks above her brow,
Sweeping courtesy, rlineing bow;
Such a dainty, graceful maid
One hand holds her stiff brocade,
Other wields the coquette's aid.
Ger her little head well curled
Spreads the silken toy unfurled.
Now IT'S shut$-S non it's twirled
To conceal 2 stolen glance,
Or crimson glance perchance,
as she treads the stately dance.
Ghostly, f1eeting vision fair,
Flashing eyes and powdered hair.
Marble shoulders glancins bare
Time rolls backward Tor space,
Ger this faded silk and lace
Cleans the witch'ry OF thy face.

ton and corresponding decrease in the
cereal productions of the world, as set
forth in Mr. c. Wood Davis articles on
that subject. The theory is unquestion-
ably founded upon sound logic, but
logic does not always hold good in
practical tests and tmay prove fallacious
in this case. Nevertheless, and what
ever may be the actual effects and re-
suits for the future, il can be definitely
stated that prices for bread crops will
not be lower for the next twelve months.
No difference what this years crops may
be, the present shortage in the general
supply is great enough to prevent the
accumulation of a sufficient surplus to
force prices down within the next year.

THE BUNCO OF THE FARMER.
Who Collects The Protection Granted
the Sheep Grower, and How it is
Done.

To the Editor of the OHIO DEMOCRAT:
Co. gress grants to the wool
grower protection of II cents per
pound for grease wool, % cents on
washed wool and 33 cents on scour-
ed wool but it requires him to
collect this extra price. Congress
does not provide for the collection.
1t permits each man to protect
himself, if he can. ave shut out
the foreigner; you must do the
rest" it says to every one protected.
If the man to whom protection is
granted cannot collect the extra
price he must lose it.
The wool-grower must collect
this extra price from the wooden
manufacturer. There is no one
else he can collect it from. The
only way he can collect it is by Il
mbination of wool growers fixing
selling price so that the manu-
facturer cannot buy his domestic
wool except at the foreign price
with the duty added. Then if the
manufactures refuses to pay the
price fixed by the wool-growers
and attempts to import he must
pay not only the foreign price and
the duty, but the freight also. This
is the protection Congress has Civ
en- to the wool grower. TO have
any value he must combine, and
fix the selling price-collect his
protection himself

IN q recent speech at Urbana, o.
Mr.. Mckinley declared that there
is "no legerdemuin in legislation to
enable man to get money, except
in the old-fashioned way of earn
ing it by honest labor" There
ought not to be. But how about
the legerdemain of the trusts, that
do just as little toiling and spin
ming as they know how, yet man
age to have continual dress parade
and picnic.
