It would be very humorous if it were

It calls the public attention to its

and then to show how thoroughly it has
fulfilled its promises to suffering peo-

OF Artz, the fugitive from Justice; of o.
borne, the convicted libeler; of Todd, the
brawling noser among waste paper bas-
kets; of Lewelling and his female Meme
Sis, nor of the scores of others of whom
so much has been said by the infamous"
republican press. May be there was
nothing that could be said.
The manifesto charges that the poor
credit Of Kansas abroad is due to the
persistent villifcation of the state gov
eminent by republican papers, and by
the failure of Kansas financial institu-
tions differed by republicans; and then
without stopping to take breath, or bat
ting an eye, says that in the first nine
months Of 1893 the people of Kansas
paid 13 million dollars Of indebtedness,
and that "a single failure of bank in
an eastern state often involved more of
actual loss than the entire amount in
volved in all Kansas failures"
That is all there is Of the pop mani
festo. The rest of it is taken up with
national issues. The populist admins
tration of Kansas comes out exceedingly
strong on national issues. But on state
management it is trihe unsteady.

DISTINCTIONS of Insects.

II, 2
In the spring, when the sun warns
the earth, the, insects appear regu-
larry. There are hundreds of species
and their ways differ. Some can en-
dure the lowest, temperature, while
others hide beyond the reach Of cold
1t is in the. winter when they are
inactive and helpless, and as the
habits OF many are we'll known they
can be destroyed with but little ef-
fort A farmer alone can do some
thing in the way Of attempting to
lessen the number of insects, but no
doubt the discussion Of this matter
before the farmers Institutes would
lead to united action and more salts
factory results
1t is fact that the greatest pro-
lection to insects is very cold winter.
Cold does not destroy MANY kinds at
all, while others 60 down in the earth
below the reach Of the frost. 1t is
the warm winter, during which the
earth alternately, thaws and freezes,
which increases their liability to de-
struction. When the ground is warm
it becomes damp after a rain, and
should the ground suddenly freeze
the result is fatal. To withstand
cold, then the insect must be pro-
tected against dampness. Instinct
prompts it to guard against sudden
changes Of temperature. Eggs that
are glued to the limbs of trees are
protected to insure Matching in the
spring, and thousands OF hiding
places are utilized to protect those
that seek seclusion under shelter
While the farmer can accomplish
much by examining and cleaning his
trees and vines as far as he is able to
do so. as well as burning all refuse
and stubbIe, he can do the insects
heavier damage by blowing his feds
as soon as the ground will permit.
II not prevented by the frost the
ground should be turned up, and
many insects will thus be bro vght to
the surface in condition of help
lessness, the first rain, followed by
freezing of the ground, putting an
end to them, cocoons being softened
by the moisture and broken by the
frost Fields that are overrun with
cutworms can be ridden OF them in
this manner il the blowing is deep,
and, while the work may not destroy
all OF them on heavy sod ground, yet
il will greatly reduce them in mum
berS. As stated above, however, the
best results obtained in insect exter-
mfnati0n is when the community is
determined to destroy them; but the
individual farmer can accomplish
much by seeking to protect his own
farm, and using the plow for that
purpose whenever an opportunity is
afforded for so doing. -Philadelphia

Leavenworth special: There is an CD
idemic OF mumps and measles prevailing
in an alarming manner in this city. The
public schools are poorly attended, and,
as result, in some grades, there are
scarcely any pupils. In order to check
the contagion, Mayor Dodsworth, Su-
perintendent Klock of the schools, and
the board of health held conference
and agreed to ask the city council and
board Of education to make special ap-
preparation OF money to employ physi-
clans to aid in suppressing the disease.
1t was also decided not to allow any
children from families With either the
measles. or the mumps to attend the
schools, and to post notices on their
homes.
1t has been reported that fifty stu
dents at Kansas university have been
dismissed by the faculty on account of
failure to pass the required examina-
tions. Upon inquiry it is found that
only fifteen have suffered dismissal, the
fewest dismissed in the last three years.
OF these, two are members of the foot
ball team and three Of the glee club.
But this is in no way indicative of the
scholarship or standing Of the remaining
members of the clubs as whole. The
average of the giee club is 80 per cent,
and of the football eleven IS per cent,
showing higher average grade of schol-
arship than can be found in any other
organization or class of equal numbers
in the university.
Olathe special: The general merchan-
disc store of Bigelow & Foster, at Gard
ner, ten miles south of this city, burned
to the ground and nothing was saved.
The total loss is estimated at about
$4,000, with an insurance of $11, 900.
Under the terms of their insurance the
companies are liable for only three
fourths the value of the stock; therefore,
the insured will lose heavily. This firm
has for many years been doing an extern
sive business and is one of the most re-
sponsible firms in eastern Kansas. As
a number of robberies were committed
in Gardner the same night, and no 9TH
or cause can be assigned for the origin
of the fire, it is generally thought that
this store was burglsrized and then
fred by the thieves to cover up their
work

good molasseS This was a time
when American commerce was cut
of by the British, and New England
farmers were dependent upon their
own resources for sweets. 1t is pos
sible that a considerable pa t OF the
molasses in those days was for dis
tilling into rum. Mrs. Adams writes
that very good syrup was made for
this purpose by boiling the juice
from ground cornstalks. The stalks
were stripped and given to the cattle,
the old-fashioned idea being evidently
that they made. a better feed than
the coarser stalks :. ass

Farm Notes.

TIE queen bee has been known to
live fifteen years, and to produce fer
tile eggs during the whole Of that pc.
riod of time.
IT is not the old tool or machine
that deserves to be thrown away, but
the worn out one; and it may not be
in the last state, even If old; it all
depends on the care it has received.
FENCES are necessary evil, to be
dispensed with if possible, and to be
made as inconspicuous as. possible If
you must have them. No deoryard
was ever inclosed with a paling fence
without marring its beauty.
THE well-known purslane, one of
the most persistent weeds that in
tests farms, is said to produce more
seeds than any other plant, one pod
containing 5000 seeds, while each
plant will produce twenty or more
pods.
CARRIERS do not pay as much at
tention to their crops as they do to
growing them. They are often at a
loss to know to whom to ship their
goods for sale. The farmer has the
same opportunity to understand
what to do with his produce as the
merchant who buys and sells. =

Adulterations in Seeds.

To detect authorizations in seeds
we must use the sieve, water and
microscope, says Professor Blount of
Colorado. Hot water dissolves pow
der and dirt and washes off the
coloring matter. The sieve makes
the separation Of the true seed from
the impurities, and the microscope
discovers the shape, natural indenta-
tions, protuberances and discolora-
tions. To determine the vitality of
the seed put 10 or 100 inside of three
or four sheets of blotting paper,
which wet and keep where it will be
warm all the time. and in the dark.
In ten hours radish will terminate,
cabbage in eighteen. wheat in
twenty-six and corn in thirty-two
hours. These rules are simple and
will cost nothing. They may save
you much.
