TOPEKA. Jan. 5.-A summary of the
value of Kansas farm products, live stock,
etc, for 1891, working capital and avail
able surplus. from official statistics COM
piled in this office from returns OF the
assessors of Kansas and correspondents OF
the board of agriculture show the value OF
the total output of Kansas farms, together
with the aggregate value of live stock to
be as follows:
Cereals, wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley
and buckwheat, aggregate value OF sIO5.
23O, 17205
Other field crops, potatoes, castor beans,
sorghum, cotton, flax, hemp, tobacco,
broom corn, millet, tame and prairie hay,
aggregate a value of SIC, 465, 073.71.
The products Of live stock; wool, cheese,
butter animals, slaughtered and sold for
slaughter milk sold, poultry and eggs
sold, aggregate value of S45, 724, 709.21.
Miscellaneous products, garden and hCr-
ticultural products sold, wine honey and
wax and wood sold, aggregate value of
s., ,391, ,4l9. 20. Tbs also Is properly account
ed as working capital.
The value of animals slaughtered and
sold for slaughter as reported bv the as
socations for the state at S37, ,922, l92. 90.
From this amount must be deducted
the meat consumed by the farm
ers of the state. In the report
of the United States department
of agriculture for 1890 we see that
the department statistician estimates the
annual consumption of meat per capita at
seventy-five pounds. Placing the rural
population of Kansas at LOCO, 900, we have,
on the basis of consumption given, 75,O0O,
600 pounds for farm population, which, at
AZ cents per pound amounts to $7S75,O 600
This amount the farmers of Kansas must
keep on hand, and it also is classed as
working capital
From the above estimate we see that,
approximately, the total working capital
of Kansas farmers is as follows:
l. Live stock. .Sl17, ,674 961 so
2. Bread and seeds. ...... $3.50, 900. 90
3. Potatoes. s.......... 1898, ,413.09
4. Corn, oats, rye, barley, hay,
sorghum, etc.............. 54,943, ,36L IS
). Meat. ............... 1895, 600 90
Total working capital. go. 1873. .276. .636 40
Deducting this amount from $295, SOC, 3OS-
G., the gross aggregate value of all farm
products and of all live stock of the state
we have balance of S103, 529. 572. 20. This
amo unit, less cost of needed groceries,
clothing, etc., represents the available sur
plus OF Kansas farmers for this year.

FIRED INTO A TRAIN.

OMAHA, Jan. 5.-Missouri Pacific rail
road officials and those of the Pacific Ex-
press company have endeavored to sup
press the fact that an attempt was made
last Wednesday night TO hold up the
south bound Missouri Pacific passenger
at West Side, in the suburbs of this CITY,
the same place where sly successfully
robbed a train some time ago. Engineer
Dean saw masked men on the crossing
and instead of stopping his train, pulled
past them with all possible speed. The
would-be robbers fired a score or more
shots at the train as it rushed by and the
frightened passengers lodged under the
car seats to get out of harms way. For
tunately no one was injured during the
fusilade and no material damage done.
