Lady Somerset recently said /:
"Instead of some half-educated,
well-meaning but ignorant nurse, l
believe the day will come when no
woman will be considered too high
" educated or too refined to mold
the early Impressions Of the young
est child, and that mothers will see
that in order to secure the services
of such refined and cultured ladies
they must make q revolution in the
accepted ideas of the position of
nurse in the houses Of the rich.
There ought to be no situation SO
honorable, no friend so trusted as
the one who from the earliest mo-

telligence undertakes to guide the
thought and form the character at
a time when such formative influ-
ence is vital to future well-being. !"

ABOUT FEEDING WHEAT.
A Dillon Farmer Thinks It Does hot

DILLON, Jan. Farmers are as
crazy now about irrigation as they
were several months ago about the
profits from wheat fed stock. But
there Is quite difference in the two,
irrigation can and undoubtedly will
be made q success in Kansas while
wheat feeding to stock in or out Of
Kansas never will. Mr.. Armour, the
great packer, made a test Of wheat
fed and corn fed hogs and he prefers
the wheat fed animal. claiming the
meat is much better. Possibly it is,
but how about the proiitsp
Here are some figures on the sub
ject furnished by Bert Davis Of this
place: He commenced feeding hogs
in September, fed them $50 bushels Of
wheat, sold them In December for
$3.50 per hundred. They averaged
1874 pounds. The bunch sold for $Y1.
The wheat was worth 1850, or $3.50
more than the hogs came to. The
profit was on the wrong side. The
pigs were worth $3.50 apiece at the
time feeding was commenced. Add
to this the cost Of chopping and labor
Of feeding and then compare figures.
The farmers OF south Dickinson
have quit feeding wheat and are pay
Ing As cents per bushel for corn in
order to get their stock on the mar
ket. 1t would be a pleasure to meet
some dark night, away out in the
backwoods, the gentleman who claims
that by feeding his wheat it brought
him 50 per bushel.

farmers think Of this subject
