1t is sent ont from the headquarters
Of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway
that the road has made a ninety. nine
year agreement with tho Memphis rail
road for joint use Of the latter's trackg
from Paola, Kan, the present terminus
OF the "Katy" to Kansas Guy, and be-
ginning March 4 will run through trains
to Kansas City without change of the
crews. This arrangement definitely set
ties the "Katy" terminals at Kansas
City and will greatly strengthen the
Missouri, Kansas g. Texas as a COMPETE
tor for southwest business.
The decision of the supreme court in
the case of the Southern Kansas Railroad
company vs.. Aaron s. Drake will be Of
great interest to railroad employees In
Kansas. Drake was employed as Ia
boror in the shops in Franklin county,
and was injured while unloading rails
from push car. He sued the company
and got verdict of $3.50, but the udg-
ment OF the trial court is reversed, the
supreme court holding that ian employo
possessed Of full knowledge of the ser.
vices to be performed by him and Of
the dangers which they involve, who
voluntarily accepts the employment and
continues in the service OF tho employer,
will generally be held to have assumed
the risk of the hazards Of such service
and to have absolved his employer from
liability in case of injury"

Dairy Notes.

A REGULAR routine in dairYing is
one Of the essentials.
THE man who thinks The has ar
rived at state Of perfection is very
far from it.
THIS routine should not be an un-
changeable one, but one subject to
improvements
ALL dairymen can't use the same
methods because conditions vary on
different farms.
PROGRESSIVE dairymen are ready to
try new things; if they prove to be
better than the old ones they adopt
them.
THE dairy procession is constantly
on the move; it doesn't follow the
same route year after year but tries
new ones.
SOMETIMES the new ones are rough
and uneven, but if they are shorter
than the old ones it may pay, after a
careful study Of the situation, to
make them smooth.
THE man who finds the silo a very
profitable investment should not call
the man who doesn't build silo an
''old timer" from that fact alone; it
Is not every dairyman who can find
profit In the silo

STOCK AND FARM.

In Miami county there are 1925
acres devoted to nurseries.
More than $3,4OOOO0 worth of poul-
try and eggs were raised and marketed
in the state in 1898.
Doniphan county has greater acre
age Of vineyards than any other county
in the state. 1t is credited with 454
acres
Irish potatoes to the value of nearly
100000 were grown in the state last
year. Leavenworth county produced
the greatest number of bushels, 318, 1000,
and Wyandotte was a good second with
817, 900 bushels.
A flock Of 1900 sheep belonging to
McFadden and Curry of Saline county
has been moved to Ogden, Riley county,
where they will be fattened for market.
McFadden and Curry have maintained a
flock Of sheep in Saline county for thir-
teen years, but prospective free wool
has knocked them out at last.
From Manhattan: Prof. Georgeson,
of the state agricultural college, has Sc
cured lot of seed Of the Russian sun
flower. He proposes to grow consider
able quantity of seed and experiment as
to it's feeding value. The value Of the
seed as feed, if it has any, will rest upon
the fact that it is highly heterogeneous,
and fed with corn will tend to balance
the altogether too carbonaceous nature
of the latter grain.
Great Bend Register: 1t is hard to
determine the condition OF the wheat and
the Judgment of the farmers themselves,
varies considerably. TITS true wheat in
sandy soil will fare much better in dry
weather than in the up lands, and yet
we had the opinion Of two farmers, who
were neighbors, one of whom said he did
not expect more than half crop unless
it rained soon, while the other said his
wheat vas in excellent condition and
would stem the winter all right. Since
the fields were covered with a good bed
of snow both the farmers are no doubt
confident.
A triAe more than one per cent. of all
the hogs marketed at the Kansas City,
Kansas, stockyards are docked by the
official inspector.
Hon. Martin Mohler, ex-secretary of
the state board of agriculture, has re-
Gently visited nearly all Of the northern
counties and made an examination Of
the wheat and says that it is in fine con-
dition. The roots are in good shape,
and if the spring rains come in time and
in sufficient quantity next YsSr's crop
will Be very heavy. az

IT is to be hoped that Mrs. Thack-
cray, widow Of the novelist, has not
bequeathed private letters or journals
to some Froude who will proceed to
pillory her and her husband and their
friends as Froude has done the Car
lyles Thackeray was on terms of
confidential intimacy with large
number of the most conspicuous peo-
Pile of his time. He was an acute OBJ
server, especially of personal traits,
and pungent note-maker of social
foibles. His literary remains, or
those Of his widow, would be alluring
prey for sensational executor.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Great Bend Register; The new or
gan for the Methodist Episcopal churcE
at GalaUia has arrived and is a splendid
instrument
Great Bend Register: The revival al
the new Methodist church at Levi John
sons north Of Maherville, conducted by
Rev. Hogan, has closed. The church
has been greatly strengthened and the
meetings have resulted in untold good.
An Epworth league has been organ lied
which meets every Sunday afternoon
and is a valuable auxiliary.
Topeka Capital; Maj. sully has a
brigade Of five young men in the Saliva
ton army who go to the different towns
in the state and conduct what in churches
would be called revival. They stay
two weeks in each place and are doing
excellent work. Maj Sully received
word from the mayor, the pastor Of the
M. &. church and several other men, Of
Arkansas City that they had done such
good work it was desirable that they
should remain week longer They
had sixty converts in two weeks.
Topeka Capital: The manner of dis
cipling the "brigades" organized at the
different churches in the city proves to
bevery interesting. The Liberty church
has boys brigade with membership
Of twenty-five and one also for girls
with forty members. Captains enforce
strict obedience to the rules and regu-
lations which are carried out in every de-
tail. The members are required to at
tend Sunday school in a body as q
Bible class. On Tuesday night the boys
have their "drilp' which consists Of free
hand gymastic exercises interspersed at
intervals with prayers, songs and other
religious exercises. The girls meet on
Saturdays at 2:30 and have about the
same order of exercises. Any viola
ton Of rules is punishable by dement's
which lowers the rank or standing OF
the offender. Special recognition is
given to those who havea high standing
at the length of certain time, by way
of badges. In this way interest is
aroused in the religious work and very
satisfactory results are being obtained
by this method Of work.

SIX years in States prison for steal
ing two cigars valued at 10 cents will
strike the average citizen as a severe
sentence, but not when the circum-
stances surrounding the theft are
known. Thomas Bennett, a negro,
effected an entrance into an office
and conhscated two cigars and was
captured. A jury in the St. Clair
County Qll,) Circuit Court sentenced
him to six years In the penltentiary.
The theory on which the jury pro-
ceeded was that the thief stole the
cigars because nothing more valuable
could be taken. The thief, too, was
prepared to commit other crimes did
his safety and freedom demand it.
His presence in the Office, which was
effected by stealth, was, in the eyes
of the law, a greater crime than the
act of burglary itself In some States
burglary Is a capital olfense, as the
law presumes that the person who
would commit it would commit MUIR
der to protect himself. While the
penalty of death is perhaps too Sc
we're, imprisonment for life for burg
larry is not In the last few years a
large percentage Of murders commit
ted in Chicago have been the out
come Of burglaries. The probability
Of spending the rest of life in con,
flnement would deter many a crimi-
nal from committing burglary,

How too Much Farming Is Done.

How too Much Farming Is Done.
Farming has to be learned like any
other business, and that is where
people make a great mistake, says
D. X. X. in New York World. A
man who has failed to make a sue
cess in the city retires to the Coun-
try, buys or rents farm and sets to
work to run it in utter ignorance of
the fundamental principles of the
calling he has adopted. The same
man would laugh at lany one who
bought book expecting to read it
without having learned his alphabet.
Yet he does precisely the same thing.
The A B C's of farming have to be
mastered thoroughly, and for that,
time and practice are me- essary. The
ignorant cannot succeed. This is
the lesson we need to learn.
In Europe land is rented only to
those who dre known to be expert
enced farmers and certain regulations
are laid down to prevent the exhaus-
tion of the soil. That is the reason
why we do not hear there Of wornout
farms, Though the land has been I'M
der cultivation for centuries. The
fertility of the soil has been preserved
by means Of regular rotation Of
crops and by keeping Of a liberal
amount of stock. The latter point is
the one most neglected in this coun-
try. The purchaser Of farm in
America is apt to spend his last dol
lar In increasing the amount of his
land so that he is left without the
means to stock it. This is the worst
blunder he could possibly make. 1t
would be far better to rent the land
and own the stock Old country
farmers have learned this by expert
ence, and that is the reason why they
are generally sue esstul when they
come here. The area of their farms
is usually smaller than that of the
Americans, but they have more stock
and Is better handled.
There is no royal road to farming
any more than there is to any other
DuSIuSSS' IL udo w DC ouuulOu' Ills
is the point on which Americans err.
They imagine they will get along
somehow. 1t is different abroad. A
few years ago the country was nor
,rified by the murder in Chicago Of an
oEnglishman named PreIler. The
murderer was the man whom he had
paid to instruct him in practical,
farming. The crime called attention
to the fact that foreigners consider
this calling one to be learned like law
or medicine. Now, while Americans
are Admitted to be cleverer than
other nations, we are not quite
heaven-born geniuses, and until we
are willing to serve our apprenticeship
we shall continue to hear of worn-out
farms and brOken-dOWn farmers.
