KANSAS RAILROADS.

Arkansas City Traveller: South Of
the Santa Fe depot can be noticed a
mammoth pile Of timbers. They are
mostly piling and heavy timbers used
in the construction of bridges. This is
the supply point for this division. The
timbers are brought here and hauled
out as needed.
Byron Roberts, Of Topeka, receiver Of
the Hutchinson & Southern railroad,
states that the road is getting into good
business condition once more, and will
eventually be one Of great value to
Kansas. The road is being built south
to Wakita, new town between Pond
creek and Cameron.
D. B. Robinson, first vice president of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
way company passed through Kansas en-
route from Chicago to Albuquerque, N.
M. Mr.. Robinson occupied his private
car, Bay State, which was built for him
a short time ago, and he is now making
his western trip for the first time in his
new car. The car is very elegantly fin
ished and finely furnished throughout.
John E. Frost, land commissioner OF
the Santa Fe system, reports an i'm
proved demand for farm property in
Kansas, and says that his department
has, within the past thirty days, received
more inquiries about Kansas land, than
for the entire nine months preceding.
The inquiries come from che north in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas
principally, although many are received
from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
A large number Of the employees Of
the Santa Fe in Topeka have petitioned
Chief Surgeon Hogeboom to open a
homeopathic department, and place it
under the control Of physician Of good
standing. Such petition was presented
long while ago, but it called for the
appointee to be a man, It is believed
that favorable action will be taken by
the chief surgeon on the present petition,
and that DIR, Eva Harding will secure
the appointment.

AFTER spending many million
pounds sterling In the construction
Of monster cannon and enormous war
vessels, England is now told by re-
clpient Of some Of the millions that a
great mistake has been made. Lord
Armstrong, whose firm built the i'll
fated Victoria, says "the arguments
against building immense ironclads
are unassailable. The same conclu-
sion was reached by the British Ad-
miralty some time ago, and no more
unwieldy warships will be built for
the British navy. 1t is fortunate
that no such mistake was made in
the construction of our new navy.
We have no war vessels Of the larger
type, as compared with the navles Of
England, France, and Italy. They
are of about the type that practical
experience has discovered to be the
best for effective service.

Orchard Gras, for Sheep.

Herbert w, Mumford of Michigan,
writes in the American Sheep Breeder
that orchard grass makes better feed
for sheep than does any other afford
ing from third to half more feed
on the same land. 1t needs pretty
close pasturing to keep it from send
ing up its seed stems; but If these
are kept down it does best where
kept in pasture for NUN Der of years,
the first seasons growth being apt to
be In patches. For this reason it is
a good plan to seed clover with the
orchard grass AS the clover dies out
the grass will come in and take its
place.

Topeka Capital: Tho semi-annual
meeting of the SunAower club will be
held at Library hall, Tuesday, November

of special insurance agents doing bust

territories, met in Kansas for the first
time in July. Its objects are to promote
a more fraternal feeling among its men,

MES and the property owners.
Professor Il. l. Blake, who fills the chair
OF physics and electrical engineering at
Kansas university, has just received
word from the patent office at Washing
ton notifying him that letters patent
had been granted for fog signal device
to be used by vessels at sea in commu-
nicating with each other. Over four
years ago the first application was made
for patent, and It's final granting is the
result Of the most thorough investiga-
ton Of the merits of the apparatus. It
is broad in It's scope, and gives Profess
sor Blake much latitude in completing
and further perfecting the invention.
Professor Blake is still at work on this
signal apparatus, and Is also conducting
on the Kaw river a series of experiments
looking to long distance communication
between ships at sea. The latter scheme
has some OF the same principles involved
as the first one, and will include
some electrical arrangements that are
not yet yet entirely perfected.

STOCK AND FARM.

The shortness Of the hog crop
in the territory tributary to the Kan
sas City, Kansas, market, is now
generally conceded. That the receipts
should run as light as they have
been doing the past week, with
prices as good as they are, is evidence
enough that there are but few fat hogs
in the country. During no day within
tho past week have the receipts reached
5000, while during good crop years they
generally run twice that high.

Of corn is being marketed in this city.

LIght shoes for Young nnraer.

The most careful horse breeders are
agreed that the lighter the shoe and
the less 1t is worn The better. In a
recent address before an English ag-
ricultural society," Prof. Axe dis
cussed the subject, deprecating the
laundering management Of the feet
of horses. Often fine animals are
ruined by being caused to wear their
shoes too early and too long. Stand
Ing In the stable long time ia liable
to cause lameness and could be
avoided by taking Off the shoes and
substituting soft leather. Red-hot
shoes should not be applied to the
foot of horse at any time In plow-
Ing cultivating, and many other farm
operations a horse will walk ten 10
twenty miles day and advances
about four feet at step At each
step the horse lifts half pound extra
on It's two feet, 667 pounds in every
mile. In a days work of fifteen
miles the horse would lift 5000
pounds extra, or nearly FIVE tons. If
the force required to lift this five
tons of iron could be expended in the
work the horse is doing much more
could be accomplished. In the light
of these facts is 1t any wonder that
when young horses begin to wear
shoes they soon become leg weary,
have their steps shortened and ac-
Quire slow walking gait

A Cheap OIstern.

A Pennsylvania farmer tenn The
National Stockman how he built a
cheap Cistern. He struck circle
seven feet in diameter, then dug
down three feet, then another circle
one foot less in diameter and dug
three feet further and broke down
the sides to slope; then with five
foot circle he went another three feet
and cut away again, making the CTS
tern in the form of jug. The sides
and bottom were plastered with
cement directly on the clay, and the
top was arched over with brick packed
up with sand and cement, aud tile
was put in to act as an overflow pipe
about eighteen inches from the top.
AS the average diameter would be a
little more than six feet, it would re-
quire nearly seven barrels of water
for each foot in depth below the over
flow pipe, ever fifty barrels when the
water was seven and one half feet
deep, His figures for the cost were:
Two days labor, 50; one half day Of
mason, 81; two barrels of cement,
$3.50, 400 brick, 81. 40; total 81. 80.
1t has been in use ten years and is as
good as ever excepting near the top
where he allowed it to freeze, and
the cement cracked and pulled off,
which could have been prevented by
covering with straw or other mate
rial.

Keeping Apples.

Probably cold storage affords as
convenient and sure a method of
keeping apples as could be adopted,
but that IS mode that could hardly
be adopted by the average farmer,
and so he must devise some other
method that comes within his reach.
Where it can be had as we'll as not,
cellar that could be devoted ex-
clusively to apples would be desirable,
so as to regulate the temperature to
as low point as possible without en-
dangering the fruit The trouble
with most house cellars, unless they
aye arranged so as to regulate the
temperature, is, that they are too
warm; so warm in fact assto hasten
on the fruit beyond maturity and to
the point Of decay and then there is
no help for the condition. The chief
trouble in Keeping apples is to hold
the fruit as long as possible at the
point of maturity, and If this can be
accomplished by temperature at the
freezing point and as steadily held
there as possible, there will be no
trouble about the fruit keeping.

LORD ARMSTRONG, the great En-
glish shlpbullder, who built the Vic
toria, enforced the lessons taught by
the disaster to that vessel at the an
nual meeting of his concern. He
contended that the arguments against
building immense ironclads were I'M
assailable, The same arguments, he
said, held as good, however, against
gigantic battleships, The strength
and stability of the Camperdown's
prov ram were quite insufficient to
enable her to deliver an effective
blow without peril to herself. The
same defect probably existed in the
other rams. The life of a battleship
was far too valuable to be staked on
the use of her ram. Besides, big
battleship was too unwieldy to give
full effect to her ram. He advocated,
therefore, the building of several
vessels especially designed for ram
ming. The occasional loss of such an
inexpensive vessel would be of small
Importance as compared with the
loss of a great battleship like the
Victoria. Undoubtedly Lord Arm
strong voices the general conviction
of naval experts in his comments
upon the lamentable collision of
Tripoli.

THERE is grave reason to fear that
Germany's Grand Old Man is rapidly
nearing the brink OF his remarkable
life, The worst is rarely told by the
doctors in cases Of famous patients,
but enough appears to show that the
great ex-Chancellar cannot long sur
vive. The young Emperor evidently
suspects that the end is near. With
that shrewdness and cunning which
have marked his brief reign in sew
eral instances, he now fairly gushes
with love for Bismarck. Well he
knows that Germany will appreciate
the old man at his full value after he
is gone. He knows, too, that his
rude treatment of Bismarck, until a
recent period, will stir the German
breast. Hence his semblance of love
now toward the man who was rivet-
ing the German Empire together
at a time when Willie's military but
tols were safety-pins.

This opens up new possibilities, The
efforts of newspaper reporters to

the reading public But these at
tempts, merltorious as they are in
the city editors eyes, serve no high

fort however has a practical sound.
1t is not only worthy of imitation,
but it gives the reporter a reason for

when contemplating the newspaper
reporter Now he can be classified
somewhere between the stool pigeon

Dividing Profits with Farm Help.


The cooperative system is adapted
successfully In many kinds Of bust
ness. The modification OF 1t which
gives to the laborer certain proper
tion of the profits without requiring
the workman to share the losses OF
the business, is certainly benefit to
the laborer OF course under such
conditions the proportion that the
workingman would get must be
much smaller than when he is made
a full partner But it is often on
the farm equally an advantage to
the farmer Perhaps some one with
turn for joke may regard this as
tantalizing the laborer, Turing him
on by profits sure not TO be realized.
Suppose 1t is, this is the condition
under which the farmer himself often
works and If he is fit for his business
1t makes his time and labor worth
more than that Of any man he can
employ at stated wages II by even
an illusory stimulation farmer can
get his hired man to be as careful of
triiies and as earnest In preventing
wastes as the farmer himself is, he
can we'll afford at the end Of the sea-
son to pay the hired man something
extra for it There is altogether
too much eye service on American
farms: good work only while the en-
ployer is present or working with his
men. Any plan that will help to Sc
cure good work all the time is to be
commended. - American Cultivator.

When to Sow Timothy Seed.

1t Is usual TO SOW the timothy seed
with the grain in the fall, but not
through the same spouts as the seed.
There is a separate sowing apparatus
for the grass seed to avoid burying it
too deeply. 1t is better to sow the
grass seed by hand after the grain is
put in, and while the soil is loose and
soft, than to drill it with the grain.
The grass seed may be sown in the
spring with the clover, if this is to
be sown, and a light sloping-tooth
harrow may be run over the land
without damage, but with benefit to
the grain. This is doubtless the
safer Way.
