STOCK AND FARM.

La Crosse Clarion: Seed drills ara
coming into Rush county on every train
and our farmers are putting in an i'm
mense acreage of fall wheat. The ground
is in good shape for seeding and old
timers tell us that the conditions are the
same that always precede a big yield of
wheat.
Valley Falls New Era: Chas. Davis,
of Blue Mound, recently drove his car
load of sleek and fat steers to Valley
Falls where he had previously sold them
at $4.60 per hundred. They averaged
1418 pounds per head, bringing frac-
ton over $65 dollars per head, the price
of good horse.
Council Grove Republican: The larg-
er part of the wheat raised here will be
ground into chop feed and fed out to
stock. Feeders think that Accent
wheat when mixed with some corn makes
cheaper feed than all corn. When this
plan of marketing the wheat crop is prac-
ticed little more extensively, the coun-
try won't be troubled with over produc-
ton.
Cedar Vale Star: J. H. Leedy bought
N. G.. Glasscock's wheat and made
chopped feed out of it. He brought his
feed mill in from the farm, put thresh-
ing machine engine to it for power and
ground the whole 1000 bushels. It was
the best of wheat and he paid 45 cents
for it-has been buying poorer stuff at
less price, but finds the best the
cheapest.
Cedar Vale Star: P. P. Mercer, of COT
feyville, raised crop of Kaffir corn this
year that has done SO we'll that every
neighbor has engaged seed for next years
planting. He planted with corn drill,
double-rowing, and cut with a machine,
binding it in bundles. There is grain
enough in the heads so that one bundle
makes feed for team, and it promises
a good second crop from the stubble,
growing up like cane. Stock is said to
eat it fully as we'll as they do cane, eat
ing stalk and all, and the heads when
topped, thresh out fifteen to twenty
bushels to the load. The particular ex-
cellence of the crop is that it doesn't ap-
pear to need rain, making full crop
this year where corn was almost total
failure. Joe Watson tried little of it
three years ago, and it headed out right
in the dryest time and made an album
| dant crop.

Eottening sheen and Lambs.

1t takes a careful, skilled feeder,
who gives his best thought to what
he is doing, to fatten sheep success
fully. Because few make well at IL
is no sign that others can succeed.
Lambs are even more difficult to feed
than the sheep three or four years
old, usually fattened. But the lamb
will gain faster from the feed than
the older sheep showing that with
sheep, as with most other animals,
the most rapid gains are made when
they are young.

Olathe special: Rolin HUFF, mute
boy. IA years old, attending the Kansas
deaf and dumb institution in this city,
was seriously and probably fatally in
jured while walking on the Santa Fe
railroad near this city. The boy in the
company of two mute companions, was
returning from nutting in the woods
when he was struck by north bound
passenger and hurled some distance. He
received Commissions of the head and was
badly injured internally. His parents
reside in Udall, Kan.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The Santa Fe and the ROCK Island
have both adopted the practice of placing
fagmen on the rear of all trains which
are run in two or more sections.
Topeka Capital: Henry G. Caldwell,
United States circuit judge, will open
court here, on Wednesday, November
%, for the purpose of hearing and dis
posing of all unsettled matter in the
foreclosure of the Kansas City, Wyan-
dotte & Northwestern railroad looking t.
a sale of the property.
From Independence: The Santa Fe
is doing an immense stock business at
present in this section. Cattle are be-
ing rushed by the thousands from the
Panhandle ranches to the eastern mar
kets under the stimulus of advanced
prices. The railroads are hard pressed
for both motor power and cars.
From Leavenworth: The trouble be-
tween the new Lea venworth bridge COM
pany and the Union Pacific railroad
over the use of Choctaw street for ter
minal purposes was settled by Receiver
s. Fl. 81. Clark signing an agreement al
lowing the bridge company to lay tracks
on the disputed grounds. By the ar
rangement entered into the bridge COM
pany agrees to remove the Union Pacific
tracks seven feet to one side and pay all
expenses for same. The roads coming
into Leavenworth over the new bridge
are to use the present union passenger
depot and the new terminal depot is to
be used only for freight purposes. Work
on laying the tracks has commenced.
Emporia special: An incident oc-
CURED on the Howard branch of the
Santa Fe road. AS the passenger train,
due here at 8 o'clock, was approaching
Olpe, a small station few miles south
of here, little baby was noticed by En-
gineer Burt Monroe, playing on the
track. The infant was not noticed un-
til the train was almost on it. Monroe
Immediately reversed the engine and put
on air brakes. Then he rushed to the front
of his engine, leaving his fireman in
charge. The momentum was too great
to stop, however, and just as he got on
the cow catcher the child was disappear
ing under the engine. He made grab
and clutched portion Of its clothing,
holding on for moment only, when
the clothing gave way. Just then
the engine came to stop, and on jump
ing off Monroe found the child to be
lust in front of the wheels but unin-
iured, with the exception Of a few
bruises. Two inches more OF movement
by the engine would have ground the
baby to pieces. Monroe was white as
ghost after the incident, but was aProud
man when he placed the child In the
arms of its mother.
President Remnant, In an interview,
said: ITO allay any fears on the part
OF holders of Santa Fe securities it Is
proper for the management to state that
It's affairs are in such condition that
no uneasiness need be felt. The earn
ing of the properties, notwithstanding
the general depression, are largely IN

How Sheen Help Out.

The farmer who keeps sheep has
an important advantage over one who
does not, in the fact that he has
something to sell long before the
farmer who grows only grain can ex-
pect to market anything. Wool sales
furnish money just when farmers
f1Ed it hardest to get. 1t costs heavily
to put in crops, and if part, at least,
of this expense is not paid in advance,
the store and blacksmith bills and
living expenses will take most of their
value when grown. A few sheep can
be kept on any farm OF fifty acres,
without really lessening the amount
to be sold, as they will eat much that
would otherwise be wasted. Sheep
are especially valuable in apple or
chards to destroy the earliest fallen
fruit. Pigs will not eat fruit until it
becomes too mature, but sheep have
liking for the smallest and greenest
specimens Sheep in winter are the
best customers for bean straw. 1t is
a very heterogeneous food and makes
rich manure. For these reasons
every farmer should manage to keep
a few sheep, and the fewer he can
keep the greater care he should exer-
else to have them of the best 1t is
not the number of sheep but the
quality that gives the profit Better
start with two Ur three sheep and
have them thoroughbreds than buy a
lot of mongrels whose produce will be
worth nothing above their price to
the butcher.

Use of Manure.

A large manure pile is believe tn
be an important factor in the pro-
duction of all farm crops, but some
thing depends upon it's use. Manure
may be applied so as to assist nature
in some of her processes in addition
to the manurial influence it exerts
Coarse manure may be plowed into a
soil inclined to be moist, and render
it drier by causing cavities that cut
off the capillary ascent of the water
from below. Under ordinary circum-
stances manure that is plowed in near
the surface, or is simply mixed with
the surface soil, being subject to
moisture and access of air, goes to
decay more rapidly and so becomes
more soluble and thus more available.
When possible, it is better to have
manure spread where it can exert
some influence or become subject to
such changes as will render it useful,
rather than to have it remain piled
in the yard. If no direct use can be
made of it, let it be spread upon
moving lands; even though exposed
to the sun. the loss will be very little
and the atmospheric influence will
tend to the changing to more solu-
BILE condition, and the plant food ele-
ments will be carried to the soil and
roots of the grass, while the coarser
portions will serve as mulch during
the slower process of decay. Grass is
especially benefited by fine mulch,
when the young blades can pierce
themselves through it to reach the
full light. -Germantown Telegraph.

The Stranger at Church.

The following problem is of sufficient
importance to demand special para
graph. If we were away from home
among strangers at the close of an earn
est, faithful sermon, would any OF US feel
it an intrusion to be spoken to, welcom-
ed and invited to come again? The act
would be deemed acceptable Christian
kindness by all; and yet we stand back,
afraid that another would not SO regard
it, Other people are strikiDgly like us,
and touched by the same thoughtfulness.
A short while ago, q young lady OF
more than ordinary culture and ability
found herself on the Sabbath out of reach
of any church of her denomination save
q poor little German one. She went there
an entire stranger, somewhat depressed
by her solita.iness. She vas met by an
old lady at the door, who cordially well
coined her, forgetting iu genuine Chris
tiau courtesy that her own dress was poor
while that of the stranger was of rich
material. At the close of the service
many others spoke TO her, assuring her of
their pleasure at seeing ber. She lett the
little Church with ber heart warmed and
refreshed, and expressed her purpose to
return there again when she felt the need
of Christian sympathy. For speedy and
large re,urnss for outlay of time and
effort, welcome to strangers in church
offers capital investment. There are but
few risks-not one in thousand. Try it,
and test the efficacy of the Golden Rule.

to be church members. IT, you can stir
up a spirit of fault-6nding against the
preacher, oramong the members, it will
help empty seats. People who get mad
at each other do not care to 60 to church
together. If the seats are empty, the
minister may be q saint and preach like
an angel, to no purpose. See the result
of your labor on High street church to-
day. Half of the seats were empty.
Not only did the two hundred people
who staid at home lose blessing, but
each empty seat did its work against the
Lords kingdom, The preacher made
unusual preparation, apd went with his
heart on FIRE, but the empty seats chilled
him. and he did poorly. Several stran.
gers had dropped in with letters, but they
were disappointed at the small atten.

some will not take them any place.

Living Beyond Ones Means.

Upon the subject of living beyond
ones means, Samuel Smiles, the author
of the English work entitled, "How to
Get On in the World" says:
"There is another class of people living
up to their means, and often beyond
them. They desire to be considered
respectable people, They live accord
ing to the pernicious adage, One must do
as others do They do not consider
whether they can afford to live up to or
beyond their means; but they think it
necessary to secure the respect of Others
In doing SO they usually sacrifice their
own selfrespect. They regard their
dress, their establishments, their manner
of living, and their observance of fashion
as the sole tests of respectability and
rank. They make an appearance in the
eyes of the world, though it may be en-
tirely hypocritical and false.
"But they must not seem poorl Ihey
must hide their poverty by every effort
They spend their money before it is
earued-run into debt at the grocer's, the
bakers, the milliner's and the butchers.
They must entertain their fashionable
friends at the expense of the shopkeep-
ers. And yet, when misfortune over
takes them, and when the debts have
become overwhelming, what becomes of
the friends? p Then fly away, and shun
the man who is up to his ears in debt!
Poverty is more than half disarmed
by those who have the moral courage to
say. 1 can't afford it, Fair weather
friends are of no use whatever,
except as an indication of the depth
of suobbery to which human beings can
descend. What is q visiting connec-
tion p 1t is not at all calculated to
elevate one in social or even in business
lite. Success mainly depends upon
character, and the general esteem IN
which a person is held; and if the
attempt is made to snatch the reward OF
SUCCESS before it is earned, the half
formed footing may at once give way and
the aspirant will fall, unlamented, into
the open mouthed dragoon of debt"
