KANSAS RAILROADS

A ticket agent: "People really are
averse to starting on journey on Fri.
day. Our receipts on that day are only
about one-fourth what they are on the
other days of the week. Saturday and
Sunday are the best days we have in our
business"
The Missouri Pacific railroad, through
its traffic manager, has informed the
board OF railway commissioners that
they will transport all seed wheat free
OF charge If it is sent by the board. The
Santa Fe company has made a similar
proposition.
National Advertiser: One of the most
curious forms OF advertising of recent
date is that put forth by the Rock Island
railroad, which has installed an officer
on its executive staff known as rainmaker
IN chief. This man claims to be able to
produce rain at few hours notice, and
the company has hired him to keep towns
and cities along its road thoroughly
supplied with showers. So far his eff
forts have been very successful and the
railroad is enjoying boom that is turn
ing rival companies green with envy.
Kansas City Gazette: The Rock Island
railway company has been engaged since
Sunday in removing terminals from To-
Peka and other points to Kansas City,
Kansas. This will be a valuable acqui-
sition for the south side portion of the
city, or Armourdale, as we'll as for the
city at large. It will make this city the
headquarters for the Rock Island train
service west of the Missouri river, thus
succeeding Topeka to the benefits to be
thus derived, although as an actual fact,
Kansas City has been the starting point
westward. Added to this eleven passen-
ger engines are to be brought here
from st. Joseph, Mo-, and some from
Horton, Kansas. Altogether about 200
people will thus be brought to live in
Kansas City, Kansas. In the future one
division will begin at this point and end
at Phillipsburg, Kansas, and the next
will extend from there to Denver.

Requirements o, Posa. oes.

The man who plants a field with
potatoes has already in labor and
seed involved himself in considerable
expense. He has to this extent at
least placed himself under obliga-
tions to give the crop the best care
and promptly. With the potato crop,
promptness is more important than
IL is with any other. A single days
neglect may involve the loss OF sew
eral dollars per acre. We understand
now that both the size and quality
Of the potato depends on the foliage.
IL is through the leaves that the crop
gets the carbon which In the juices of
the potato turns it to starch. Beetles
and their larva may be killed to-mor-
row or next week, but after the foli-
age has been half eaten, the crop cam
not amount to much. Some loss is
inevitable where entire reliance is
had on poisoning the larva They
must eat some of the leaf TO get SUM-
Gent poison to kill them

A Hog Cholera Remedy.

DIR. T. ]. Dodge of Hamilton,
ILL.,, writes as follows to the Iowa
Homestead on the subject of hog
cholera.
AS the price of hogs is sufficiently
high to pay the farmer to use every
means Of protecting them from the
ravages Of the cholera, deem it my
duty to give to the public, free, my
recipe for the cure of what is termed
hog cholera l have used this
remedy for thirty-three years, and
raised hogs all of the time, both here
and on my ranch in Nebraska, and
never lost hog. Have experimental
by placing one we'll hog with lot Of
sick ones, and keeping it we'll by the
use of this remedy You will confer
a great blessing on the farmers Of our
country by publishing this recipe in
full in your valuable paper. lam now
engaged in other business and have
been for sixteen years, and am willing
To let others prosper by the long
years of experience OF mine with a
remedy discovered myself for the
cure Of this disease.
The prescription and directions for
use are as follows:
Arsenic, one half pound; cape aloes,
one half pound; blue vitrol. one
fourth pound; black antimony, one
ounce. Grind and mix we'll the
remedy before using.
The following are the directions
for use:
]. Sick hogs in all cases to be sep
arated from the well ones and placed
in dry pens with only five large hogs
or eight small ones in each pen.
2. Feed nothing but dry feed, but
no water, only the slop containing
the remedy until cured.
3. When hogs refuse to eat turn
them on their backs, and with long
handled spoon put the dry medicine
down their Threats
4. Dose for large hogs, one tea
spoonful three times day for three
days; then miss one day. and repeat
the amount until cured. Shoats or
pigs one-half the amount.
5. AS preventive, one teaspoon
full once week will keep your hogs
in a healthy condition to take on fat
/ can place one well hog in a pen
with one hundred sick ones, and
with this remedy keep him we'll
6. Let no other stock but hogs
have access to this remedy, as it is to
them deadly poison.
DIR. Dodge adds that for many
years he sold this recipe for S., and
treated thousands of hogs at the rate
Of 81 per head, paying the owner ten
cents a pound for all that died after
treatment began.

The Manure Did 1t.

Two hundred and eight bushels of
wheat from two acres is a record from
Tasmania for the last season, or, more
properly speaking, this one, says the
Australian Agriculturist. The local
ity producing this enormous crop was
the Don, and the farm on which it
grew, the Seaview estate, owned by
MesSrs. Jenery and Henry. The same
little plot six years ago yielded thirty
three tons Of potatoes, which realized
93 per ton. For a couple of years it
stood idle, sheep running over it;
then it became a pig paddock, and
the principal feed given to pigs in it,
boiled peas; cropping with wheat fol-
lowed, and the result as stated.

Senator PETER, in his book ''The

prize foolishness:
ssThe farmer is now compelledbo go
to town for nearly everything he wants;
even a hand rake to clean up the door
yard must be purchased at the city
store. And what is worse than all, IF he
needs a little more money than he has
about him, he is compelled to go to town
