LETTER FROM KANSAS.
Some Interesting Items About
Farming
BURNS, KANSAS.
Nav ~ 1903

y
Editor Telegram AS many Of
my West Virginia friends are
wanting to know how farming is
done here, / will through your
worthy paper attempt TO give
them a faint idea, how the Gar
den Of the West is farmed.
In the first place the prairie
sod is broken with a sod pillow
drawnby three or four horses
cutting il about one and a half
or two inches deep; then 1t lays
there one year 10 rot. The next
spring it Is turned over with a
stirring pillow then it is ready for
a crop OF oats or corn /; the oats
are sown with a seeder fastened
on a wagon with this arrange.
ment one person can SOW forty
or fifty acres in a day.
Corn rs planted here by the
patent CHECK rover. which is
worked as follows In the first
place a wire with small buttons
aooutthreefeet apartis stretched
across the field and this wire
passes through the planter in
such a way that as each button
passes, a hill of corn is planted
and covered, making each one
exactly the same distance apart
every way. With the aid of this
planter one man can plant 90
acres day.
Then you goon and you will
see a man a blowing with a gang
pillow with four horses all in
abreast, one man doing two mems
work turning two burrows at
a time. Later in the season you
will see them cutting oats or
wheat with a harvester, cutting
and binding, and atthe same time
all you have to do is to pay the
man and set up your grain. Still
later you will see them in hay
harvest cutting the prairie grass
and stacking it with stacker,
worked with one horse. The
grass is cut with a mower and
then dried then with a machine
thai is called, go Devil it
gathers the hay and draws it to
the stack and then it's put up on
the stack with the stacker with
one horse, no pitching required ];
when our corn gets ripe in the
faliit is cut with a corn cutter
drawn BY one horse. cutting two
rows at a time two men on the
cutter cut the corn as fast as the
horse walks. Our corn and all
kinds of grain isplanted and not
fenced, but we have our pastures
fenced with barb wire.

AND THE WORLDS FAIR
or A. d. 90oo.p
From Tic Mela Nation. /

The Columbian Worlds Fair at
Chicago was opened May list.
There is certain propriety in
the concurrence of the exhibition
at this time quite aside from its
being the fourth centenary OF the
discovery of the country The
world is about to abandon the
competitive for the cooperative,
the despotlc for the democratic
system of industry. We stand
on the verge of this prodigious
change, solong demanded by the
mind and heart of man. 1t will
be regarded by future genera
tons as historically fitting that
just at the close of the competi.
tive epoch this great exhibition
should be given of the best,
finest and greatest it could &C.
complish. The display is doubt
less a fine one and marks a high
degrees of progress as compared
with the best that could have
been done under the system of
feudal serfdom which prevailed
in Columbus day. But even as
meanly and pitiably in all re.
spects as a worlds fair in Queen
lsabella's day would compare
with that at Chicago, even so
may we expect that will compare
with the worlds fair to be held
maybe in the year 1000 to cele.
brate the material progress of
the world in the first century of
the era of traternal cooperation
upon the basis of equality.
But, though thanks to a sys-
tenn of scientific and concerted
production, the world of Tile flu
.ture win compare with that Of
to-day in point Of wealth as a
prince to a pauper, we may be.
sure that to our posterity, look
ing backward, the material pro.
gress made since 1893 will Sseem
far less important than the moral
advance. At Chicago the exhibits
of pomp and luxury and art rep
resent not the enioyments of the
many but of the wealthy few.
The wonderful mechanical dis
play presented does not stand for
powers used for and by the PEG.
pie for the common welfare, but
for devices whereby capitalists
enrich themselves and rule their
1elloW men. The underlying
motive of the whole exhibition,
under a sham pretense of patriot
ism, is business advertising with
a view to individual money.mak-
ing.
If a worlds fair is held in the
year 1000 it will reflect in its dis
play of art and luxury not mere.
ly enioyments attainable by a
few, but the condition of the
masses. The exhibits of machin-
cry and the achievements of men
in yoking the forces of nature

PROFIT IN POULTRY.

Says James Rankin in the Home
stead: l have sixteen COWS in my barn ;
my nelghbOrs call them good ones. The
milk Is sold in a neighboring village at
remuneratlve prices. 1t requires the
labor Of two men and one team to care
for these COWS and deliver the milk. l

q 1.-THE Of the labor and capital en-
plOyed, these pullets last winter made
me more than double the clear money
that my cows did. lam we'll acquainted
with two young men who are running
a poultry and dairy farm conformity.
The n is an invalid, keeps /, 900 hens,
the care of which occupies about one
half of his time. The other keeps thirty
COWS, from which he makes butter of
so good a quality that it readily com
mands eight or ten cents above the
standard price. This mar raises the
usual farm crops, reads the papers
carefully, knows something of labor
and its application, and runs his gang
of four or five men with an eye to
business, yet the invalid brother clears
double the money from his 1000 hens
that his brother does from the whole
farm.
One instance more: Z. Damon, of
OOuju I1dIISOLS, MASS, JOlO lie uOU long
since that he had $50 pullets in his
yard, SEQ of which had been confined
in one building all winter without step
ping out of doors. These fowls had
furnished him with thirty five dozen
eggs per day during the winter. These
eggs were taken at the door at fifty
two cents per dozen. This gave him
$11 clear profit per day, with only a
few hours care
