Salina Republican: Thurston Hum
barger brought in three varieties OF
wheat, the "Rocky Mountain" "Farmer's
Trust" and mortgage Litter He says
that his wheat will all average thirty
five bushels per acre. The samples left
will each measure five and half fect.
Downs Times: If the corn crop ro-
suits as favorably as now seems prob
able, there will be more than the usual
amount OF stock for the Central branch
to haul out during the coming year.
The country seems to be full OF cattle
which will come of the rich pastures in
splendid condition, and nearly every
farmer has the usual stock Of hogs.
The wheat yield in Leayenworth coun-
ty this year is proving to be unusually
large, and the millers say the quality OF
all that was not injured by the late
frosts is very fine. The yield is really
much better than anyone thought it
would be. Threshing machines are at
work in many fields, and the grain is
being shelled out at the rate Of from
twenty-five to forty-two bushels an
acre. Some OF tho wheat is being mar
keted for AZ cents.
Salina Republican, The wheat has
all been harvested and much of it lie
being threshed from the stack, Great
rows of plethoric stacks dotting the
fields show the abundance there is in
the land, 1t is universally claimed that
the yield is much better than it was sup
posed to be. Claims Of yields from TWEEN
ty-fye to thirty bushels per acre are fire.

Topeka Capital: Hon, Bradford Mil
lor, Of Shawnee county, reports that he
threshed from eight acres l775 bush
els of Russian wheat, yield of some
thing over twenty-five bushels per
acre; on ton acres OF May wheat

was little under nine bushels per acre.
One Of his neighbors threshed from thir-
teen acres of Fultz wheat 270 bushels
or about twenty-one bushels per acre,
but from another eleven acres Of heavi-
ly MANFRED ground 800 bushels, or not
quite twenty-eight bushels per acre. Tho
last was also of the Futz variety.

STOCK AND FARM.

Girard Press: L. Colean has been
marketing new wheat that is encourag-
ing to those who have not threshed yet.
1t weighs sixty pounds good and strong
to the machine bushel, and is as crisp
as old wheat. 1t yields twsnty-nine
bushels per acre.
Parsons Sun: j. H. Reed, residing
five miles south of the city, has finished
threshing his wheat. Off of $50 acres
he realized 4,630 bushels, or over an
average of thirty bushels to the acre.
This is the largest yield yet reported.
Cherokee Sentinel: P. G. Robbins
who rents G. w. Pyo's place north OF
the city, known as the Nichols place
threshed last week and the yield was
twenty-seven bushels per acre. This il
only a sample OF an average crop il

WE never knew anyone who did
not talk too much, And those who
talk too much may expect to have
what they say exaggerated. What
they say may be all right, but after
it passes through two or three lips it
is all wrong, and sounds ridiculous.
The only way to avoid being mis-
quoted is to avoid saying unnecessary
things. A man who keeps his mouth
