W. H. Freeman, aleadipg farmer
of Harper county, Kansas, has been
experimenting, and the results are
not only satisfactory, but surprising.
Last Monday he marketed six hogs,
which were just 6 months old.
They averaged 225 pounds each.
Two months ago be commenced
feeding them ground wheat. He re
ports that exeels corn as q pork pro.
Queer. He soaks the ground wheat
from 6 to II hours. The trough is
always cleaned before feeding. A
little ashes, salt and coal are used
as appetizers, but not mixed with
the slop. One of the pigs gained q
pounds in 13 days.
Mr.. Freeman says that when hogs
are selling at i cents wheat will
bring so cents, and that he has de-
monstrated to his own satisfaction
that go pounds of wheat will pro-
duce 20 pounds of pork. Under
such conditions, he says, the farm
ers will make money by feeding
their surplus wheat to hogs. Many
farmers in southern, Kansas are
buying hogs and will test MIR. Free

Warden J. L. PAGES terms for hir-
ing convict labor have been rejected
by the Chas. r. Lewis Clothing
Company, which employed forty
men under contract, and used at
times a number of extras. Warden
Pace proposed a contract for five
years for the employment of sixty
five men at 50 cents per day each.
Such a number of men could not be
used, and as the company sees dit
tie if any prospect of a stronger
clothing market, it became neces-
sary to refuse to contract.
The penitentiary now holds be-
tween 800 and 400 men not under
working contracts. The company
will in future employ free labor,
women, girls and men, in a manu-
factory in the city.

THE NEW MONEY ORDERS
To be Issued July 1, at Re-
duced Rates to be Substituted
for Postal Notes.

for Postal Notes.
Samples of the new money Or
der to be issued at the post office
have been received in the city.
They are very pretty, being print
ed from a, finely engraved steel
plate and form an admirable con-
trast to the Anticipated order form
now used moreover they are far
more difficult to initiate. Another
feature is that they have graded
coupons attached, which, being
torn off at the proper place, pre-
vents the order being materially
raised in a fraudulent way. Mon
ey orders will be issued for any
sum up to 500, and there will be
reduction Of the rates. For in
stance, any order up to $3.50 will
cost three cents instead Of cents.
as previously, and there are grad
ed rates up to 800 for which 30
cents is paid instead Of forty
five cents. This change
meets the competition Of the
express money order system,
and is likely to draw much bust
ness to the mail service, that was
otherwise done by the express
companies; indeed the post office
department, in making the change,
have the idea that it will be more
convenient to the public, induce a
larger business, be more profitable,
and be more beneficial to those
postmasters who are mainly paid
by commissions.
The new money order system
will be inaugurated on July l, anG
on that day no further posta
notes will be issued. The post
office department have long con
sidered them unreliable inasmuct
