been transferred to Kansas City, Kan,
where he will be in charge of st. Mary's

ElDorado Advocate: The Christian
church so far has been very successful
with their tent meeting at Augusta. Up
to date fully 100 converts have been
baptized. A church edifce is to be erect
ed at once to cost not less than $4,000.

This synod covers the entire state and

OF weak and vacant churches have been

THE SAINT AND THE SINNER.

Heart-worn and weary the woman sat
Her baby sleeping across her knee
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed pitiful task for such IS she,
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While the bells of the Sabbath day rang sweet
And the neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When, To- on the threshold stone there slept
A prtestly figure, and named her mans;
"What shrift is this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling, and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray,
Woman, why are you toiling here"
Like one in q dream she answered low;
Father. my days are work-daYs all
I know not Sabbath. / dare not go
Where the beautiful bells ring out and call,
For who would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the place?
] pray in silence, and try TO think
For Gods love can listen and give me grace.
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate of rest,
And a tired woman stood waiting there,
Her wofk-worn hands to her bosom pressed;
80, saint thrice blessed mount thou on high, "
he heard the welcoming angels say.
When meekly, gently she passed him by,
Who had mendad shoes on the Sabbath day.

STOCK AND FARM.

The canning factory at Emporia is
now running in full blast canning corn,
and they are consuming great amount
of it. The factory creates good mar
ket for the farmer of that vicinity. He
gets S. per ton for his corn with the
husks on. This nets him from S18 to
$24 per acre for his crop, or from 35
cents to 40 cents per bushel should he
wait until it is ripe.
ElDorado Advocate: s. s. Hanes, Of
Fairview township, has threshed his
grain. His thirty-six acres of red oats
made 1,614 bushels Of such good quality
that it commands 2 cents extra per
bushel on the market. His seventeen
acres Of wheat made 335 bushels. Mr..
Hanes only has eighty acres of land and
it is upland at that, but then he makes
a success of farming.
Abilene Reflector: William Biesecker.

and windmill located on hill near his
garden truck patch of forty acres. He
is building large reservoir and pro
poses to keep this filed and so be pre-
pared to irrigate the land next year as
well as though he was under ditch.
1t is intelligent farming like that that
pays.
The chinch bug experiment station
has had man travelling over Douglas
county to find out the exact result from
the use OF infected bugs. Over 100
farmers in the county have gotten dis
eased bugs from from the station this
season. The bugs have done no great
damage in any section, but the infection
has worked well in the great majority Of
places where properly used, and when
applied in time has cleaned the fields Of
the pests and saved many fields Of
young corn and grain.

partment at Parsons and the remainder

Byron Roberts, of Topeka, has been
made receiver of the Hutchinson &
Southern railway, by the United States
court. He is to demand possession or
accounts and seal now kept without the
state, and is to operate the road, paying
running expenses out of receipts.
W. II. Simpson says: 'The harvest
excursions this year viii be run on Au-
gust %, September II and October 10.
The fare will be one fare plus 81. They
will be run into the southwest this year
and give the people chance to see Ok
lahoma and the Cherokee strip. In all
probability there will be no cheap rates
announced for the opening of the strip.
People can go on the harvest excursions,
however.
Atchison Champion: Along the entire
length of the Z. G. w. & N W. railroad,
and along the Central Branch from Cliff
ton to Atchison, and along the st. Joe G..
l., from Hanover to st. Joseph, one rides
through continuous corn fields. The
walls of corn grid the Kansas earth for
thirty thousand square miles, and the
only problem now with the farmers is
where to find cribs to hold the golden
kernels next fall.
The continued heavy rains which have
been playing such havoc along the Bur-
lington & Missouri river railroad near
White Cloud, has taken another half
souri, river. The smaller streams in that
vicinity are all out of their banks and
the country is flooded, causing great
loss to farmers and endangering many
lives. All trains on the Burlington &c
Missouri river are either abandoned or
run around the washout via Rulo and
st. Joseph to Atchison.
General Manager Frey is reported as
saying: ''The Santa Fe, which has q
large mileage in the district affected,
proposes TO haul seed wheat absolutely
free of charge, from the more bountiful-
ly supplied eastern sections of the state,
to be distributed among needy settlers
who desire to SOW another crop this fall.
Our land and freight departments have
made careful inquiries, through local
agents of the road and otherwise, as to
the probable necessities of each locality,
and enough seed will be shipped in to
supply actual wants. All that John Jones,
farmer, has to do, if his own bins are
empty, is to make arrangements either di-
rectly with some wheat seller or others,
or through the local relief board, or with
the county commissioners of his home
county, for such seed wheat as he must
have, and the Santa Fe, on being mott
fed, will ship the wheat in care of the
the county commissioners, making no
charge whatever for cost Of carriage. OF
course the usual precautions will be
taken to see that the privilege is not
abused and that all deserving cases are
taken care of. What we wish to do is
to extend this aid to those who really
ought to have it."

lighted up his aristocratic features.
While he smiled she opened up the

and seemed to whisper to himself, she
spat on her hands, grabbed the other
half, and, with a long-drawn ''hae'
she boosted it over a second line.

Feeding Grain With Pasture.

The feed that stock get from the
pasture always costs more than any
other On farms where land is valuable
Why not then supplement the pas
ture with a grain ration, keeping
enough stock to eat the grass pretty
close aud yet not allow it to suffer.
Many farmers reverse this policy and
have large patches of grass that be-
comes overgrown, and then stock will
be almost starved before they will
touch it. The better way is to have
it so closely fed from the first that
these spots will be eaten while still

Regarding Wild Plum Trees.

There are thousands of wild plum
trees as we'll as the wildings of culti-
waited sorts that are no use whatever
as they iare. These should be re.
grated with the best and most pro-
ductive cultivated varieties. These
is common idea that plum trees
must be grated very early in order
to succeed. The buds start very
early, and it is little use to try to
make a swollen bud grow. But if
the bud has been held back that is to
be set the swelling of buds on the
tree will not affect it.

Uses for Fertilizers.

OF the various ways of handling
manure, good and bad, the best tor me
seems to be to spread it as made. The
more soluble parts are carried down a
few inches by the winter rain, and the
coarser remainder, turned under just
as the soil begins to warm up in the
spring, starts a chemical reaction
that is probably as beneficial to
the soil as is the actual plant food
contained in it. By rotting it down
in a compost heap and top dressing
in the fall, this function OF the ma
nure is mainly lost; a loss which is
partly Offset by the surface protection
given to the young wheat by the ma
nure and by a better sod to be turned

Flaxseed Meal for Calves,

Fall calves are hard to make thrifty.
They usually get less milk than old
calves farrowed in spring. If fed by
hand, more or less of the milk is apt
to be fed too cold. The best feed to
supplement skim-milk is f1axseed
meal. A teaspoonful boiled in a
quart of water at each feeding and
added to the skim-milk will make it
much richer. If the calves scour add
a tablespoonful of wheat fine flour to
the mixture while it is being cooked.

From the Pen.

Agricultural, as well as other edi-
tors, frequently call for something
from the pens of their subscribers or
farmers that they need. It is re-
lated that a western editor met a
well-educated farmer and said to him
that he would like to have something
from his pen. He was accommodated,
for upon his return home the farmer
sent him pig, for which he charged
him nine dollars and seyenty-tive
cents. We presume this is only a
story, but it tells we'll just the same.
