Stock Feeding and Feed Mills.

Feed mills have become q necessity 70

right here within our own state, whore
manufacturing az q general industry is
practically untouched, yet we now have
at Manhattan the Blue Valley foundry,
which lS constantly turning out feed
mills, culGlvatorS for listed corn, and corn

meeting special demands OF Kansas
farmers and stock feeders and shippers,
who must have these practical mechanl.
cal aids In order to realize the most of
their labor aud feed.
Some Of our readers who have utilized
this particular Kansas mill state that Il
Is Indispensable. because IL grlnds differ
ent kinds of grain, ear corn or shelled
corn, and ls strong and durable and saves
time In going TO mill, the mlller's foliage,
and gives the stock feeder the full bens-
fit OF all the nutrimsnt Of the grain fed.
The pertinent question arises, "Does
mill on the farm pay?" Many farmer
feeds 500 bushels Of grain In one season,
and counting one. eighth mIller's foliage,
would more than pay for a mill the first
year. BY having the mill on the farm Il
saves the time required to take the grain
to the mill and return-whlch generally
takes two tipS-often through muddy
roads In bad weather. II grain 10 hauled
of TO the null full load ls taken at
time to avoid so many trips, and In damp
weather the chop will heat and spoil be-
fore 1t 10 ell used. By having mill you
can grind whenever it suits you, and
grind only enough 90 as not to eaoil be-
fore it can be all used. The grIne aR Is
generally done through the winter bea-
son when the team will not be otherwise
engaged-lt gives them exercise, ard also
gives them chance to earn their feed.
The increased number Of mills pur-
chased by our best farmers each year Ia
sufficient evidence that IL does pay. and
IL It pays others It will pay those farmers
who contem ylate feeding stock this fall
and winter.

the mill manufactured by the Blue Vat
ley Foundry o., see their advertisement

Cludes within its ranks none others. BY
proper sanitary and medical treatment
the disease Of alcoholism Is permanently
cured, aud In this cure alone will we
find the solution Of the vexed temper
ance question.
Rev. John A. Bright, chaplain Of the
state association, and q true friend Of the
"Keeley boys" made brief and foEcible
talk. He said that until he became asso.
clated with the work being done by the
treatment he held the opinion that
drunkenness came from a foolish habit.
He was now thoroughly convinced that
at certain stage In the drinking habit
it became disease and must be treated
as such.
TOPEKA's GREAT ADVANTAGES.
Topeka Ia admirably cAlculared for an
institute Of this character. It is notably
one OF the cleanest and most beautiful
cities Of the west The wide, we'll paved
streets, beautiful homes, extensive parks,
unexcelled street car facilities, and many
other attractions of a public nature all
lend their influence to make the short
term spent by the Keeley student pass in
the most agreeable manner. The city 10
large enough to aft ,rd all metropolitan
accommodations and facilities for amuse-
ment, aud at the same time not 80 large
as 10 make pleasure and sight seeing irk-
some, or to overawe the stranger with lts
greatness. Students attending the insti-
tute here are free from the temptations
Of the saloon, which In so many other
places is encountered on every hand.
This point, while likely to be overlooked
by those who give the matter only q cas-
ual thought, IL acknowledged by those
who are 10 position to understand the
matter thoroughly to be one Of great Inn
portsnce. On the whole, were DR..
Keeley himself to build a city TO be
specially adapted for Keeley institute,
he could nowhere In the United States
find better model to work from than
Topeka.
THE TOPEKA KELLEY INSTITUTE.
The Topeka Institute Is located in the
Adams hotel building, North T1peks,
which building is admirably adapted TO
the purpose. On the lower floor are the
Offices of the Kelley company, operating
room, laboratory, and foe, large, light,
airy clur room, we'll supplied with read
ing matter of all kinds and games for
pleasant pastlme. Here the students
while away the hours very pleasantly,
and there naturally grows up between
them fraternal feeling which Is not soon |
forgotten. Good accommodations az to |
room aud board are found in the Adams |
hotel, which is equipped with the finest
suit Of bath rooms In the city. The baths
on the second fl Or are especially set
apart for lady guests, making the inSti-
tute specially adapted for the treatment
oflady Morphine cases, Of whom a large

&C. of the Kelley treatment at this lnsti.

Where the Drinking is Done.
Pittsharg Democrat.

The following is a very fair showing
for the South on the whisky question j:
Glittering generalities stand no
chance in the face of statistics. For
years the Northern papers represented
the average Southerner as man in a
slouch hat. 1t took a long time to
convince them that the Derby and the
tall hat were not altogether unknown in
this section. Southerners were also
shown up as profane sWearers, whisky
drinkers and outlaws. Gradually, how
ever, the country has come to the con-
clusion that there is more lynch law
out West than in the South, and that
the average Southerner does not do
any more swearing than his Northern
brother. As to whisky drinking, the
facts show that the South is the most
temperate section of the Union. Mis-
sissippi has $50 saloons Minnesota
with the same population, has 5000
saloons Arkansas has l,344 saloons
California, with about the same popu:
lation, has 1889 saloons; old bourbon
Kentucky has 4,461 saloons, and Ohio,
1880. Startling as hestatement may
be, in proportion to population the
North has twice as many saloons as the
South. All this is very gratifying, and
the work will be complete when we es
tablish the fact that the negro has 8
better showing in the South thar
elsewhere.

He was Mean.

A good looking, well to-do and pop
ular young bachelor of neighboring
town was being teased by the young
ladies of a club there for not getting
married. He said, "Ill marry the girl
of your club, which, on secret vote,
you elect to be my little wife. There
were nine members OF the club. Each
girl went in corner and used great
caution in preparing her ballot and
Disgusting her handwriting. The re-
suit OF the vote was that there were
nine votes cast, each girl receiving one.
The young man remains bachelor,
the club is broken up and the girls are
all mortal enemies, united in the one
determination that they will never
speak to that nasty fellow again.

DESOUNCING CORRUPTION.
Father Gessner of Elizabeth, N. j.
Gives Vent to His Views.


Elizabeth, N. J., June 1.-THE board
of excise and the saloon-keepers of Eli
zabeth are exercised over a fierce on
slaught made upon them by the Rev.
Father Gessner in st. Patrick's Church.
He said that there were five new sa-
looms under consideration, one to be
run by two Of his former seheel- chi elal /
dren. They would have no trouble in
securing licenses, as the board OF excise
was rotten. It was composed OF an in
surance agent, he said, who got clients
from the saloons; newspaper man
who compelled them to advertise and
a furniture man who always furnished
furniture for the places licensed.
Anyone could get a license here, he
said, "for rum holes and gin mills.
Elizabeth is next to hell. !"
The politicians, he continued, had
| no more backbone than a duck. They
were at the mercy of the saloon-keepers.
The houses on the country roads were
closed on Sunday because responsible
people used the roads for driving, while
| in this city politicians allow the saloons
to remain open in order to get Office.
The mayor of this city, he said, is as
bad as the rest. He started in all
right, but quickly forgot the laws.
The fearless priest then told how the
Legislature made laws fayoring the
rum seller, and how they were enforced
by local officials. He said two-thirds
of the saIoon-keepers were Roman Cath
olies and they were worse than Pro
testants.
The sermon closed with vigorous
appeal for better city officers and rig
/ id enforcement of the excise laws.

Possibly he may not be as brilliant a
speaker as some other gentlemen in

enough order and his knowledge Of law
is sufficient to enable hira to discharge
the duties of his exalted position with
justice to litigants and credit to him
