STOCK AND FARM,

The Kansas sugar cane crop appear
to be about two weeks late this year.
Dwight Wasp: Mr.. Goddard, O
Maple Hill. was looking after his landed
interests in this vicinity this week. HI
has small patch of tlax-320 acres.
Leavenworth letter: Several Italianl
have purchased ten acres of land in thu
suburbs of the city from Hon. P. G
Lowe, and will devote it exclusively tt
the raising of celery.
It now seems safe to place the corr
crop of Kansas for 1891 at 100000, O0(
bushels. This Is moderate figure il
the crop prospects advance as many
points IN August as in July.
Oberlin Eye: G. V. WATSON has g
number of apricot trees that commenced
bearing this year. He says they are the
thriftiest trees he has, and is preparing
to plant and bud a good. sized orchard
of them. The only enemies they have
are the rabbits.
Medicine Lodge Index: We have
heard of one field of sorghum which il
estimated to yield thirty tons per acre
If it goes twenty it will twice over pay
for the land on which it was raised.
One man claims that he cut stalk OF
sorghum, headed it, and it then meas
ured exactly twelve feet. The crop this
year will be immense.
Kansas City Gazette: A poor farmer
rented quarter section of land in
southern Kansas from a Topeka man,
agreeing to pay on shares, or divide the
crop by half. The farmer had no money
or seed wheat. He borrowed enough
seed wheat from friend to plant forty
acres, and took enough seed wheat from
the state to plant forty acres more.
The Topeka Democrat says that few
days ago the owner of the farm in To-
peka received a letter from the farmer
asking what he would take for the place.
The Topeka gentleman replied $500
would buy the land. By the next mail
he received check for the $500 with a
letter from the farmer to the effect that
he had cleared $500 off of his wheat.

is being grown for this mill.

University of Kansas at their June
meeting provided for the beginning of a
geological survey OF the state to be car
ried on by the university. DR.. s. w.
Williston, professor of geology and
paleontology, has been in charge of a
small party IN Cove and adjoining coun-
ties for the last two months. He has re-
turned to Lawrence with the specimens,
a fine lot, obtained, and now proposes
beginning a valuable work in economic
geology. DR.. Williston will make an in
vestigation of the building materials to
be found in the state. He wishes to be-
gin work in the southeastern and south
central portions of the state. and solicits
information concerning the occurrence
of building stones, cements, clays, etc.,
in this region. He will visit at his con-
venience all places thus brought to his
notice, and make scientific examination
of the materials. Any assistance which
NAV be rendered DR.. Williston in this
matter will be for the interest of the
state, and indeed, probably to the direct
benefit of the parties interested. All

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Kansas City Gazette: Since tbs strike
among the switchmen of the Santa Fe
road has been in progress at Albu-
querque, N. NJ, many disturbing rumors
have been afloat regarding the employees
in Argentine. However, there is no
foundation for any fears of trouble at
this end of the line. Well known switch
men state that there is no trouble at
Topeka yards, and the difficulty at Albu-
querque is only local matter and does
not affect the men on this part of the road.

Christmas morning. with its changing of
church bells, is usually nshered in amid
scenes of joy and gladness, but in one house
hold the break Of day revealed nothing but
sorrow and gloom.
That household is at 1906 Green street,
and the occupants were the family of G. Ii.

When awakened by the ringing OF a
neighboring church bell at $50 o'clock in

He chawed cigars, best and poorest, turned
on the beer faucets flooding the floor, threw
all the glasses on the sdeboRrd upon the
floor and broke open wine, whisky and all
kinds of costly liquor.
But the worst of 1t was that the register
was his fancy and he took great delight in
dancing upon the keys until he had run up

he then proceeded to open and tip over a
bottle OF ink. dip his paws into il and run
all over the bar. sideboard, daubing the sill

A HORSE C0CAINED.
A String Halted Animal Transform ed

A String Halted Animal Transformed
Into Beauty Bright.
A boy led out a dun-colored nag about 9
years old, who could only walk on his fore
legs.
How much am I offered?" and the
crowd guyed the auctioneer off.
What fur?" 1.-The deSiccating company,
the horse college or the shoes?" they cried.
The hind feet of the animal struck his
abdomen us If they were trying to mount
the stirlups of the saddle and so with the
rider.
Tom Meade, the father OF the veterina ry
college, put On one of his January smiles
and said:
That's tie worse case of stringhalt
ever saw"
The horse had, however. already eaten its
head off and must be sold. 1t was knocked
down for s. %. l. was understood the
horse was to be dissected. A mysterious
looking individual in long rubber
coat led the beast down to the Syca-
more street Veterinary College and
then science took hand. The animal was
thrown, and then DR.. King Of the Neterl-
nary College said: This is a case OF what
horsemen call stringhalt. 1t is a binding

deadly upper berth. 10 any one who has
ever slept in an upper berth the possibility
of Its shutting up with a snap must have
occurred. III the early days of sleeping
cars many prominent men were thus snufed
out. Then stout twisted wire with bail
on the end of it was attached 10 the upper
shelf. This ball is hooked IN to hole in the

The horse was cast, and four per cent
solution of cocaine administered. This was
rubbed on the skin where the incsion was
to be made, just below the hook, and then
an byperdermic injection given, SO that the
horse submitted without struggle. Then
an incenslOu Of about an inch was made with
a scalpel with metal handles, and the
tendon, which is on the outer side of the
hind limb was raised " 18th sharp hook and
divided with curved bistery or sharp knife
with a crooked blade, when about an inch
of the tendon was diSsected out. The men,
brane in the inner side of this tendon was
divided for about an inch. Then the wound
was dressed with antiseptic dressing. The
operation lasted only ten minutes, and the
animal arose from the floor and walked
about, even trotting around. not raising his
feet six inches above the floor. So great
was the success that Tom Mead was taken
aback and an offer was made Of $50 for the
horse as he stood.
Such an operation was first performed by
Professor DickerhoG of Berlin, and has
only been known in this country for about
five years. AS general rule horses with

TINY SAILORS.
A Crew of Small Boys Found
Drifting Around the Bay.

Five very small boys, none of whom were
more than years Of age, climbed on board
a fishing boat owned by man named
Bareo, and by some means managed to I'M
fasten the rope that held the boat TO the
wharf at Broadway about o'clock last
night and started for a trip to sea. The
lads were too small 10 use the oars, but by
pushing the boat along the piles they man
aged to get her clear of the wharf and out
into the stream. They shouted with glee.
in spite of the cold, as the boat was caught
by the strong tide and rapidly borne up the
bay. They were soon near the Oakland
ferry. and came very nearly b eing run down
by the ferry steamer Oakland as she left the
slip, and the way the boat pitched and
rOl led made.the embryo sailors wish they
were at home. Tommy Bareo, aged 6
and a son of the owner of the
boat, began to cry in spite of the fact that
he was dressed in 4 sailor suit and had In
duced his companions to take sail with
him in his fathers boat. Seeing the cap
tain in tears convinced the rest OF the small
crew that they were in danger of being
shipwrecked, and a howl went up that
could be heard halfway across the bay.
As the boat drIfted up the bay past Folsom
street Wharf Officer White of the Harb0r
Police heard their cry of distress, and OBJ
tanning boat he went to the rescue of the
shipwrecked babies and tOwed their boat to
the steps at Harrison street. where the
midget crew climbed ashore and made of
home as fast as their legs could carry them.
