One day we had what was perhaps Q
Practical illustration Of the hghtship's

the mate was scanning the horizon with
his glass. Bringing IL 70 besr to tha

ton. while look Of anxiety came over
his face. Several of the crew Joined him,
and finally one of them said. IF she

she'll be on the shoaL Through the
haze a large three masted schooner was
diseernible, heading directly for reef
to the southwest of us
She was evidently looking for sthe

her from sighting Us. although our sharp
lookout had had his glass on her for
some time. Then, too, As the mate To-
marked, with a slightly critical smile,
These captains feel SO sure Of their

evidence that she had sighted us

but the sight Of US seemed to i'll her with
new life and buoyancy. her sails filed,
she dashed through the waves with
streaks of white streaming along each
quarter like foam on the tanks Of q race

Hunting Guinea Eggs.

To find a guinea nest was the very
poetry of egg hunting. The creatures
are half wild, and feed far afeld. The
bush pasture was their chosen haunt,
and had such store of hidden hooks, such
clUmps of brake and briar, sucn steep
grassy banks, such tangle of sedge and
dewberry and plum thicket, that we
would never have found an egg but for
the birds queer habit. When the hen
goes to the nest her mate stands guard
over her ON the nearest bare spot, and
fills the air with his harsh buzzing cry.
Following the sound, we came upon
the pair. Madam chooses her home
daintily, and deeply hollows the clean,
dry earth of it. Flowers often nod above
it, grass is sure to spring greenly about
the edge. Overhead is always shelter Of
some sort, for the maker knows instinc-
lively that sunshine viii addle her pre-
cious eggs Her small cousin, the par
fridge, so admires her taste that some
times she decides TO share the nest.
Sometimes, too, a hen Of independent
mind comes a-grasshoppering into the
bush pasture, and puts her eggs into
such shelter. Very often we found forty
eggs to the nest. And when we took
them out it was always with a silver
spoon. Black nanny taught us, ''Ef
yer puts han in dar, de guinean smell
it an quit de nes'." Whatever the rea-
son, the fact was none the less fact

UMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS FoR THE STATE.
INGALLS, ON MISSOURI.

In an address at Tariko, Mo-, Hon.
John j. ingalls, paid the states of Mis-
souri,, and Kansas by indirection, the
following mixed compliment, which we
find in the Atchison Globe of Wednes-
day.
1.-The state of Missouri, in feeundity of
resources, fertility of soil and variety OF
adaptations, is unequalled. 1t IS well
entitled to be called the Empire state. 1t
is bordered by one great river and BIZ
sected by another. 1t is fgll of splendid
forests, precious minerals, inexhaustibie
quarries. Take a gigantic pair of di-
yiders, place one foot ar the junction OF
the Missouri and the Kaw, draw circle
250 miles in diameter. and within Its
periphery will be found the garden spot eff
the earthn, ot the garden of Eden perhaps,
but at least the adjoining quarter section.
This Is not perfect paradise. 1t has It's
faults. 1t is like its own Missouri river,
which is little to thick for beverage
and little too thin for cultivation. The
area mentioned has some occasional
eccentricities of climate, There are
times when no man can safely venture
out without an oyercoat, fan, light
ming rod and umbrella. 1t is the cold
est, hottest, wettest, dryest region in the
world. When it is cold the mercury
disappears in the bulb. When it is hot
no word is adequate for purpose of COM
parason, except the one for which
substitute is provided in the revised pOr-
ton of the New testimont. When 1t IS
wet, men grow web-footed. When it is
dry, water becomes what whisky is IN
Kansae-a natural curiosity.'

The rain of Wednesday seems to have

the surface of the ground so as to render

There is horticultural curiosity in

tree from which it was taken interlaces
with plum tree; hence the phenomenon.
A Cloud county man raised 500 bushels
of onions on single acre of ground this

so cents per bushel-the revenue from his
little patch will be $500, which would buy
enough land to raise onions for the whole

By taking the heavens ia one hand and
the earth ia the other. Greeks and Ro-
mans swore BY their gods, by the Styz, BY

moon. Their oaths were Of much value
and meaning during the early days Of the

SUGAR MAKING AND FARM HELP

Everything is popping" down here.
The big 250 ton day sugar mill started
up this morning and the roads are lined
with teams hauling cane. All that we
now need is more help.
Your articles on farm help were read
with interest by all large farmers. And
we will be obliged to rent some Of our
lands and turn our teams out to grass if
we do not get more farm help, We are
not close in wages; are giving $50 a
month, board and lodging, $3.50 day
to $40 in the mills. l want you to I'M

and we find he is not a Prohibitionist,

had car load of alcohol shipped here
What an example to set before us Kan
sas farmers. The cane on the United
States station is immense, and the next
three months tells the success or failure
of sugar making as profit and success
in Kansas. Also Uncle Sam has erected
one of the finest stills and will make his
own spirits.
Push the elevators up at Wichita.
Thousands upon thousands of bushels of
wheat in Barber county headed that
way. You can hear the whistles of the
steam threshers, the whistles of the
sugar factories and mills, and the whis-
ties of our farmers, if we are not too
tired.
But only another month and we will
take a bum to the Wichita fair. We are
coming with all our samples of cane,
corn, wheat and oats, every
thing but our fat beeves, which
will come later, after devouring
sixty bushels of this big corn apiece. Did
not tell you in my last letter old Kan
sas would be coming down grade. She
is loaded clear TO the roof, with not a
brake on. and they must get out of the
way and let us pass. The east may
think we are blowing, but if they were
here and had to move this crop they
