The Wheat Crop of Kansas.


Of the wheat produced in Kansas
last year it is probable that 10000
900 bushels will be marketed, of
which 25 per cent. or 100000
bushels will be ground into flour by
Kansas mills. Taking the large and
small mills together, they will on the
average make barrel OF -four out
of Il bushels of wheat, so that out
of the 100000 bushels of wheat
ground 3,333,333 barrels OF -four
will be produced. The average price
of flour in Kansas at the mills is 81
per barrel, or nearly $l4,000,00O.
About II pounds of feed and offal
are produced from every bushel of
wheat ground into flour, which has a
market value of ] per cent. per pound
at the mills. On 100000 bushels
Of wheat this would be worth 81 ,275,-
900, which brings total value of a
years milling output to over $15,-
900, 000.-Kansos City Times.

THE pOITfR's fIfLb.

Within the city of the dead,
In a long corner dark and dank,
Whose poison weeds grow thick andfank
But no sweet flower doth lift Its head
In awful gloom and terrn- sealed,
There lies the Il eaded Potter's Field.
In the pale city DER the wall,
Fair shafts and marble tennis arise,
Deep carved with loving memories;
And faireAt flowers the senses thrall,
But none doth ever shine revealed
TO light the shameful Pcttsi's Field.
Bought with the price Of Christ betrayed,
1t shall be called tho field of blood,
For crushed and slain on LIES i'd food
There hopeless human wrccss are laid,
Dsspised, insulted and concealed
Like garbage In the Poster's Field.
How many trampled souls lave prayed
That after years OF want and pain,
And toiling lives without slain,
They might escape TINT dreaded sceurge.
That such scourge Of scorn doth WELD
Ger those who n i the Potter's Field.
But vain their prayers when life 10 DER,
Foul mammon hides their homes IN
shame,
Nor Ger their death-pit marks their
name,
That living they with honor bore;
'Gainst PHYS prayers are doubly stssled
The ghouls who dig the Potter's Field,
| II it be trne OF which We dream,
That out ofdeath and sorrows night,
From Weakening wings a mighty light
Shall Ger the world in glory CLEAN.
As dying earth her dead shall yield,
That light must food the Potter's Field.
