STOCK AND FARM.

FL Dorado Republican: Samuel R
Clifford is full feeding ITO heod OF cat
tie and they are doing well. He will
probably hold till April before selling.
Irving Leader: Several thousand
head of cattle are being fattened IN the
immediate vicinity of Irving, and vast
quantities of corn are being daily bought
by the numerous feeders.
Ness City News: ]. G. Arnold has
moved another bunch of cattle to town,
where he has an abundance OF feed. He
and Rush will SOW their rye stubble to
barley in the spring, about 300 acres OF
which will be ploWed with a revolving
pillow.
Hoxie Sentinel: John Huber, one of
Sheridan county's best farmers, has
threshed and sold 1000 bushels of
wheat and has $500 more to thresh.
He also has sowed 800 acres to wheat
this fall. This is the way they farm
in the northwest part Of Sheridan
county.
johnson City Journal: Some of our
farmers are busily engaged in drilling
wheat. This seems strange to our east
ern readers, but our fall season lasts
sometimes until the middle OF January,
and we have known wheat soWn here
the first of January that made fifteen
bushels to the acre.
johnson City Journal: There heee
been more hogs fattened in this county
this year than ever before. Our mer-
chants will need to order little or no
lard or bacon during the next twelve
months. Our farmers all seem TO have
plenty of everything, and the future
looks very promising.
Arkansas City Traveller: Since the
rain wheat is coming up nicely. This
weather is good for the wheat, and
| from Appearances now we will have an
other big wheat crop. The bugs will
not bother the wheat unless it be next
spring. A farmer told us that he
sowed wheat in February and harvested
twenty-five bushels to the acre.
Harper Advocate: The late sown
wheat has not come forward as rapidly
as desirable, owing to the lack Of
moisture. but the late rain and warm
weather will materially help it. The
early sown wheat looks fine and affords
: abundant pasturage. We have heard
of a few fields of wheat affected by the
| fly or some other cause, but not serl-
ously SO far.
Anthony Republican: J. A. Lydick,
of Spring township, has purchased the
! lumber for a new house and barn.
The house is to be 16x28 feet, with an
ell I4x26 feet and one and a half stories
high. The barn is to be thirty-si
square. 1t will not be long now until
every farm in Harper county will have
a comfortable house and a good barn to
shelter the stock.
Mound Valley Herald: Mr.. Dwelly,
from near Edna, and a nephew of his
from Maine, is a breeder of trotting
horses, from Michigan. He has some
fine bred horses that he brought here
with him from that state. He now
owns the Thomas Dillon farm south OF
here, and will continue raising and de-
veloping the trotter. Our kite track is
the drawing card for horsemen. They
will always seek a good track on which
to work their horses, and that is just
what Mound Valley can boast of.
ElDorado Republican: N. D. Hamil-
ton, a German citizen of Clifford, has
what will be in a few years one of the
handsomest upland homes in Butler
county. 1t is not large farm-only
eighty acres-but first-class land ana
all under cultivation, with the excep-
ton of small pasture. A neat and
substantial farm house, large barn en-
closing cribs, bins, and machine house
under one roof, and sheds for cattle
surrounded on one side by a grove OF
young cottonwood trees and on the
other by a large orchard containing
every variety of fruit trees, all show the
work of careful planning.
From Kansas City, Kan: The prac,
tice of shipping mixed cars of stock
which has been almost broken up fol
many months, seems to have broken
} out again with renewed force, and the
! Humane Society has gone promptly tC
} work to stop 1t by making an example
! of tue many offenders Humane OH
Ger j. @. Bailey has filed in the court Of
common pleas six informatIons against
shippers from Kansas whose stock ar
rived Saturday and Sunday, and is re-
ported to have come in in very bad con
ditIon. The names of the shippers ar,
Messrs. j. @. Jones, F. P. Bowen, ]. d
HAYS, ]. E. loot, J. W. Mooney and 6
@. Mason, all of whom are charged
with shipping cattle and hogs mixed il
the same car.
