It is hardly year since horsemen who
predicted that the two minute trotter
would appear in the future were looked
upon as dreamers by less enthusiastic
Judges. Bnt this great achievement does
not appear so visionary as it did. On the
contrary. there are many who now re-
gard it as altogether probable.
Nancy Hanks great record of 300
wrought radical change in expert opin
ion on this point, and now the confidence
in the two minute tro.ter has been ma
terially strengthened by Directum,s mile
in 2:O7 at Fleetwood. In many respects
the latter was more remarkable per-
formance than the former. since it Was
done by 4-year-old stallion on an oval
track never considered fast and the first
half mile being scored at almost a two
minute gait.
What Directum would have done the
same day on fast kite track or what
speed he will show when he reaches the
maturity of his powers is of course a
matter of speculation. But his remark
able mile at Fleetwood, following the
sensational record of Nancy Hanks, may
well lead horsemen to look with CONT

Moro Emigrants Than Immigrants.

Emigration from this port has for the
past six weeks, according to DR.. Senner,
exceeded immigration. DR.. Senner said
that SO far as he knew such a state Of
affairs had not been known in the recent
history of this country. Emigration
heretofore has been insignificant as COM
pared with immigration. About six
weeks ago his attention was called to the
large decrease in immigration and the
heavy emigration. He has satisfied him.
self that the outgoing now outnumber
the incoming, but thus far he has been
unable to obtain from the steamship
companies any statistics on the subject.
I'VE have been enforcing the contract
labor law" he said. land it has had
marked effect in convincing the steam
ship companies that it is for their inter-
est as well as for ours to sift their
steerage lists more thoroughly. The
steamship companies are beginning to
realize that if our laws are not strictly
enforced public opinion will become 80
strong that immigration may be stopped.
AS consequence they are using more
care in booking passengers on the other
side, and the result is that we are get
ting fewer immigrants and better quail
ity.
MANY of them. of course. are men
who came here with the intention of
making a little money and then go
ing home. Fully 80 per cent of the
Italians come to this country with that
purpose, and after staying here season
or two they go back to Italy. They con-
stitute, with the Germans and the Firms,
the great majority of the elnigrants
who are leaving us now. That they
should outnumber our immigrants. how
ever, is remarkable and, think. unprec-
edented. New York Sun.

No people are SO well satisfied with pop

shows us wherein they are still deficient.
In what respect, then, has our own po-

in what respect does it fall short of that
which is still attainable?

Kansas u Great state.

IN considering corn crop reports from
Kansas the fact of the size and what
may be called the shape" of the state
should never be lost sight of. When
man from Kansas remarks that .in his
part of the state" the corn crop will be
failure. 1t is well toinquire what portion
of state 400 miles long and 200 miles
wide he includes in his reservation.
Does he live in the east half or the west
half? Does he live in the valley or the
upland2 Is the cornfeld located 800 feet
above the sea level or 5000 feet? All
these facts have bearing on the corn
crop in Kansas, and then there is the ad-
ditional question, How long has the
cornfield in question been in cultivation?
No one is authorized to speak of Kan
sas as agriculturally homogeneous
country. with uniform conditions affect
ing its entire area. Kansas is really
'all sorts" of country and never has
known in all its parts at the same time
the same meteorological conditions. 1t
has been said that no storm is strong
enough to prevail through the entire
length and breadth of Kansas. The Wild
est hurricane loses its force before it has
traversed the length of the state, and not
one of the "hot Winds of which so
much is said. ever covered more than
small fraction of it compared with its
immense area.
These truths should be taken to heart
when the word comes that the "corn
crop of Kansas is destroyed" Practi-
cally that is impossible. A part of the
corn crop of state containing $4,000
square miles might be injured, or even
absolutely destroyed by drought. just as
before now the crop of whole counties in
every state in the Union has been short
ened by rain OF flood. but the loss Of the
whole corn crop of state like Kansas is
an unimaginable calamity.-Kansas City

to dampness and poor honey. Mrs. Atch-
Icy of Texas says in The American Bee
Journal, from which the foregoing is
CLEANED. that she has come to the con-
clusion that it is general disorder of
the digestive organs of the bees, causing
great fever. 1t is caused by overeating
both honey and pollen and the lack Of
good weather to fly and void their feces
and free themselves from their sufferings.
