In this age OF machinery when very
little hand work is done by the farmer.
IL is important that fields be in the best
possible shape and condition for rapid
tilage. The writer never appreciated
the loss that comes from a bad arrange
ment OF field boundaries until he once
found it necessary to till a corn-field
with rows running the short way of the
field, and found that it required just
exactly 80 per cent more time 10 pillow
the corn in short rows than it did to
plow lengthwise Of the long, narrow
1ield The cultivation of irregularly
shaped patches and hooks is a costly
piece Of business. Now that we use
two-horse teams in almost all tillage,
the loss Of time and waste of crops by
turning is a big item, and with low
priced products the extra time used in
cultivation often makes big inroads upon
the net profits from the crop.
In a neighbor's field ditch ran dag
onally the entire length. 1t was neces-
sary to turn ON its bank, and the result
was that every row in this nice,
square field was a point row. The
waste of ground by the ditch was con-
siderable. but the loss from turning and
tramping was tar greater than the
other. Last fall the owner run a tile
up this ditch and now the plow can go
fsom one side of the field to the other.
The expense was not over $25, the in
terests on which will be less than 81 per
annum. This much he can save in
time within month next summer, and
the pleasure OF cultivating long rows,
the escape Of tramping of the crop IN
Z he # ~
gained where the open ditch had been,
will be of much clear profit. This in
stance is given to illustrate the value
of such improvements in the surface OF
fields
Fields are often irregular because ad-
joining land is wet 1t pays TO under
drain such hooks and corners and ar
range for long rows This matter may
seem a small one to farmers, but IL Is
not regarded as such by those who have
tried both ways and know the advantage
Of regular-shaped fields.
When the reader has been riding on
the railroad has ne not been impressed
by the number of trees that are left
standing in ploWed fields. taking up the
strength Of the soil and shading the
crops. How many needless trees have
YOU, reader? Pasture fields need shade,
and an occasional tree on the side of
titled land is pleasant for horse and man,
but the waste from needless trees in the
middle of fields is not buslness-like. They
are in the way. They harm crops.
Their roots cause breakage of nipple
ments. It is better TO grub them out.
The labor is not usually great if a very
windy day is chosen for the work, and
the roots on the right side are cut
first.
Then the stumps that stand here and
there are a nuisance. They cause loss
of crops, loss of temper and breakage
Of tools. Dig. pull or blow them out.
When done once, this work is done for
ever. 1T hastens cultivation and lessons
cost. We must study TO cheaper pro-
duction or go to the wall. Long rows,
regular fields and absence of unneCes-
sary trees and stumps do much 10 cheap
en- the work of tillage save horses much
unnecessary labor and make farming
pleasanter This winter is the proper
time to effect these reforms.

of trade at the butchers stalls increases
or diminishes as the working classes are
busy or idle. 1t is very apparent how
greatly the demand for beef is affected
by any depression which disturbs labor
for the laborers of cities consume the
greater part OF the fresh meats. Had
the business of this country been as
brisk during the past few months as il
has been at the same season for the
past five years there is no doubt but
cattle prices would have made
quite a different showing. The demand
has fallen off fully as much as if not
more than the supply, and taking every
thing into consideration prices for cattle
have done remarkably we'll. If beef
could be cured and held for future mar
kets, like pork, the case would be diff
ferent. AS it is the demand is greatly
affected by the available cash to pay
for cattle, and butchers are often obliged
TO curtail their operations on account of
their inability to collect.

EARLY Gardening.

The noted gardener, Mr.. T. Greiner,
gives the following good advice: Sue
cess in market gardening nowadays de-
Ponds chiefly on being one of the early
birds In order to be able TO bring your
products before your customers in ad-
vance of your competitors you must
have an early start in planting, and be-
fore you can have that you must have
your supplies in time, and to do that
you need seed catalogues the very first
of the new year. 1t will be none too
early, when this comes before the read
er's eye, to ask dealers for their cata-
early when these come into your hands
to look them over carefully, study your
needs, and how they can be best sup
piled, and then place your orders with
out delay. This, for the market gar
dener, is simply a necessary business
transaction. We wish TO have early pO-
tatoes, and must SOW the seed not later
than early in February if we wish to
be ahead of our competitors. For the
best results with onions we must start
Prizetaker plants eight or ten weeks be-
fore we can set them in open ground.
At any rate / aim TO finish sowing seed
in plats or on the benches by March l.
Cabbage, lettuce, early celery and early
cauliflower seed also ought to be sown
by about that time, and altogether IL
seems one has but little time to lose
between the time when seedsmen usual
ly send out their catalogues and the
time when the seed is wanted for SOW
ing. Even il no delay occurs between
the placing ION the gardeners part and
the filling on the seedsman's part of the
order or orders, IL is not safe for the
commercial gardener to be tardy in do
ing his part in the transaction. Make
sure Of every point and leave nothing
to chance

1892, 1880 were tuberculous. and of the
521 900 hogs killed 1850 were affected with

an extent as to he utterly UNIT for food.

Our good frind. Waldo +. Brown, al
ways has words of cheer for the man
who has only a small farm. He has
succeeded on such a one and thinks
others can do so. lie says:
4 met one lately who sold his farm a
few years ago and had just $1,000 in
cash left, which. fortunately, was safely
invested where it brings s per cent. in
terest- This farmer has learned some
thing about taxation, for while pay on
real estate and personal property 1S mills
on the dollar, this farmer in town pays
20 mills, and he said To me: My taxes
use up almost one-third of my income
Now, I believe there is no man who
can weather financial storms with so
little distress as the farmer, and none
who can get so large returns from a
small investment. He is never out of
profitable employment With even a
small farm. all the fruit, vegetables,
milk. butter and poultry products needed
IN the family can be produced, and some
surplus Of ali. and usually in addition to
this the bread stuff and most of the
meat The farm referred to contained
twenty-five acres, half Of il fairly good
plow-land and the remainder good pas

containing a spring. 1t is on a free turn

Hard Times Affecting Cattle Prices.

Summaries Of receipts and shipments
OF live stock at the great market CEN
ters of the country for the past year,
says the National Stockman, show quite
a decrease in the receipts Of cattle. IN
der ordinary qircumstanc rs such falling
OF in the supply as has been experienced
in the past six months would have af-
fected values quite a good deal. The
feeder who six or nine months ago
figured on lighter supplies and conse-
quently higher prices for cattle during
this fall and winter made no great mis-
take. He was only unable to foresee the
financial stringency which is now pre-
vailing, and TO judge the effect of It
upon the cattle markets. The classes

The Knights of Maccabees had their day
in Wichita yesterday.
The event was based on the visit OF the
founder of the order. Major Boynton, to
this city
The proceedings commenced with pa
rade in the afternoon headed by the officers
of battery "A' on horseback who were
followed By the Maccabse band, members
on foot and the officers and visitors ia car
riages.
The program for the evenings entertain
ment took place at Garfield ball TO well
filled house. The program was not fol-
lowed in its entirety rs Major y. s. Boyn-
ton was compelled to leave on the early
train towards the east TO keep appoint
ments with other lodges.
The Maccabee band opened the evening
with an overture, followed by a vocal
qusrtettc by young men. Ex-Mayor
Clements was introduced, aud mads
an address OF welcome TO Wishing lodges
and especially to Commander Boynton on
his first trip to this part of Kansas.
Major Boynton's address was the event
of the evening. In the fore part of his
speech he declared he would not praise our
city nor the audience before him. but at
once enter upon his theme for the evening
taking for his subject "Home and Lodge"
which be trested In a way that held the
audience in. laughter or applause at his
will. Major BoyDton personally resem-
bles the lamented President Lincoln and
on this reason alone, il for none other, his
audience would have forgotten the lapse
of time. His talk was quick and lively,
interspersed with original wit that kept
the audience laughing. In the course of
his talk he produced few figures to show
the growth of the organization of which
he is father, His proof that fraternal or
ganizatiOus were the Jewelers. of men, the
downfall OF religious and society creeds.
and the equalizing Of labor and capitaliza-
ton was we'll brought out in his own
pleasing and humorous style. He argued
that tue lodges of fraternal organization
were not business nor insurance corpora
lions but, partnership affair. OF men
bound together with one common interest
OF welfare and obligations; but were no

ed at its actual cost mis- or her insurance.

of 80, 600 in this country. He thought
that pauperism being the mother OF
crime was obviated in the idea that mu
tual organizations prevented pauperism
among members and their families. Mr..
Boynton is gifted with felicity of action
and his manner of speaking is original and
He concluded his speech by
compimenting Wichita, her citizens. her
growth and the cordiality of the Wichita
lodge.

ABOUT TRIMMINGS.
Che Tendency il Toward Laosy Elects for
Spring and summer Wear.

Che Tendency is Toward Laosy Elects for
Spring and summer Wear.
The amount of manufactured trim
ming which is put on the market now
is something astonishing. Gimp braid
has become a matter of course. like
Things and hooks and eyes 1t is,
therefore, no longer a feature of ones
gown, and IL there is NO other trim
ming the dress is plain. The jetted
trimmings must also have some dis
.inctive quality about them in order to
meet the approval of the critical eye.
That variety called leaf jet bids fair to
supersede the old, heavier kind, and as
= consequence there is perfect furore
Tor jetted laces and nets. The old jet
comes in festoons and open spatterns
Windows are full of these various trim
nings, not merely jets, but gold and
Ieweled patterns Of the most intricate
designs. And when it comes to laces
there is such an abundance and variety
that one cannot tell where to begin.
There is tendency to lacey patterns in
everything. The jet trimming shows
this characteristic, but even in solid
goods lace stripe will be woven in,
;callops and all. A French bingham
with a stripe of half-inch Valenciennes
occurring at intervals of three or four
inches is shown.
There is kind of trimming made Of
beads that have a woody look which
goes very prettily with the browns and
tans of early spring. A pretty out
door gown of light tan cloth has this
trimming. There is round skirt with
a feather band at the bottom, and
above this is wide band of the Jet
trimming. The large, long beads are
wound with silk in shades Of brown.
The bodice is made with an added
basque, edged with feather trimming.
and around the waist is q metal belt
A V-shaped vest of brown velvet is
bordered with the same beaded trim
ming that is on the skirt, and the
pointed cloth epaulets are ornamented
in the same way. Velvet sleeve cape
lets edged with feather bands fall in
godets over cloth sleeves, which are
made with a succession of puffs from
the shoulder to the hand Bonnets are
trimmed with lace and aigrettes, and
ties with brown velvet ribbon TO match
the trimming on the dress.-Chicago
