1t Is understood that many OF MI
VOLTS employees own stock in the COM
psny, and have a personal interest In
producing the very best product the
market affords. This speaks well for
the management and is no small factor
In their success.
1t takes more than money and ma
chinery to make q success of this bust
ness. Like all frst.class business men,
Mr.. Wolf has made study of his
business. He has grown with the
business and has the entire confidence
of his many customers, who are num-
bered by the hundreds all over Kan
sas. Indeed, 1t should be the pride Of
Kansas people to buy meat raised on
Kansas soil, slaughtered in Kansas

table by Kansas woman, the best in
the world, of course. This plant hav-

Tennessee Saddle Horses.

A scarcity of saddle horses is reported
in Tennessee and next we may hear OF q
dearth Of Goals at Newcastle. Tennessee
for years led all the States in the pro-
duction Of saddle horses, but a writer Of
that commonwealth says that there has
been great decrease in breeding since
1892 with the natural result that the
supply now falls short Of the demand.
This correspondent further writes that
Texas has been liberal buyer Of Ten
nessee saddle stock in the last few years
and agents Of Texas buyers are now
securing the State for first-clsss saddle
horses which are accordingly rapidly
advancing in value Whip and Spur.

the millsts. It has been advised to SOW
milIet alongside or around the wheat
field SO as to attract the bugs to a narrow
area, thus helping TO more easily destroy
them.
The method Of saving the corn crop,
which is strongly advised, is called the
"barrier and trap" method. It consists
in forming q barrier over which the bugs
cannot pass and then trapping them liz
holes as they collect at this barrier
This method requires work and attention,
but it has proved 30 remarkably success
ful in many cases that it is strongly
recommended. One reason for discon-
tinuing the distribution Of diseased bugs
is that it has been found that such
distribution tends to cause reliance on
the possible spread of the disease and
unwillingness to make the effort neces-
sary to protect other crops.

Kafnr Corn.

Red Kafir corn has proved to be one
of the cheapest feeds grown. 1t stands
dry weather better than any other plant,
and with the same treatment averages
40 per cent. more grain, and over 80 per
cent. more fodder than Indian corn.
These figures are taken from tests made
at the State Agricultural College, cover
ing a period Of six years. Ksffir corn
cut as soon as the seed is ripe and well
shocked will keep bright and sweet all
winter. It is best to have the seed
ground into fine meal. 1t Is then worth
nearly as much as corn meal. The
fodder when shredded has a fragrant
smell and is relished by all farm animals
and is eaten with very little waste.
With the advent Of the shredding ma
chine it can be run into stacks or nows

yet, however, the industry is in it's in
fancy and no thoroughly practical and
perfect machine has been invented.
There are several makes which when
improved upon will doubtless prove
successful, but they are all more or less
faulty and crude in their construction.
At Casper, Wyo., shearing is done by
machinery and a number Of new ma
chimes are in operation this season. In
Australia, it is said, it takes from thirty
to forty roustabouts, including boys and
musterers, to wait on full fast band Of

The advocate., 1896-06-03

When judge and jury have tried an
offender and reached a verdict, tho
appellate court proceeds to try, not the
prisoner for his guilt, but the trial judge
for his procedure. Unless the latter can
show that throughout the long and
wearisome trial he made no mistakes,
the case is sent back for new trial, by
which time the witnesses have generally
disappeared.
The consequences Of prolonged dis
cussions and voluminous judicial essays
on such details as the empanelling Of
jury, the spelling Of a jurors name, the
initials Of a witness, or the omission or
misstatement OF some legal fiction or
sntiqusted phrase, tend not only to
remove punishment far off from the
criminal, but to deprecists the dignity
and usefulness OF courts. The decision
OF the court that tried the case comes to
be Of small consequence in public estima-
tion, when it may be and often is
reversed by some distant judge who
never saw the jury or heard witness.
The court above, after many months Of
delay, often decides on minute points,
sometimes OF mere practice, which non
professional persons can scarcely regard
except with hilarity Hence frequency
Of appeal in criminal administration has
a mischievous tendency to minimize the
respect with which every community
should regard it's local court, and TO inn
pair the prudent reflection with which
the people should select their judges.
For what signify the qualities or capa-
city OF a county Judge, il he is to be a
mere conduit through which oil cases
where the prisoner has any money must
flow on to more distant courts for the
only real and final decisionG-I. J.

Destroying Chinch Bugs.

The Oklahoma Experiment Station
says that it is practicable to keep chinch
bugs out Of corn fields, and in many
cases out of the oat fields, even when
they have appeared in great numbers
in the wheat fields. As help TO this,
this station has advised the separation
Of the corn fields from the small grain
fields as far as possible, and to have al
fslfa between where this was practicable.

A GROWING HOME INDUSTRY
Kansas Meat Consumers Are Building Up q
Model Packing House Plant.

The accompanying cut represents
the Charles Wolff packing plant, To
peks, Kss. There are few people,
comparatively speaking, who are in
formed as to the rapid growth of this
Kansas institution. The idea Is quite
general that 1t is impossible for splant
of this kind to succeed In the face of
the competition Fof the Big -Four
Fowler, Armour, Swift and Morris).
Great credit is due Mr.. Wolff for his
untiring efforts to make this, his
chosen line of business, success.
An ADVOCATE representative spent
considerable time inspecting this In
stitution. Nearly $50 men are en-
played in the various departments.
Next the main office is the room in
which the city trade is handled. This
is connected with still larger quarters
which are used as packing rooms for
the country retail dealers trade. This
is one Of the special and leading fea-
lures of this growing institution. The
salt cellar is in charge of Foreman
John Ktllisn, a genial gentleman who
takes special pride in doing the work
Of his department properly. From the
dry salt department, meat is taken to
tanks where it is thoroughly washed
with hot water before being placed In
the smokehouse. From the smokehouse
It Is sent to the Kansas department
where ham and breakfast bacon are
placed in canvas and properly sealed
to prevent any possibility of being in
jured by insects, dust and dirt.
The sweet pickle department Is filled
with tanks suited especially for this
purpose. These are provided with
bulletin boards bearing date wher
meat was placed In pickle and each
change is registered in q most Sys
tematlc manner, 80 that there can bC
no guess work, and all the meats from
this department are handled In thu
most improved and scientific as vel
as workmsnlike manner, giving uni
formity to all goods produced.
They manufacture three brands o.

found one rotary pump, which receives

BEST ARE CHEAPEST.

When You Build Roads, Build None But
the Most Perfect.
A very wise philosopher has observed
that the great bulk of the people must
always support the mass of the popula-
ton.
The people pay for everything the
people have. The public pays for the
railroads and the expense of running
them. If the railroads were only half
as good and could only haul half as
much it would cost the people twice as
much TO ride or ship over them.
1t is fortunate for the people that rail-
roads are conducted in an organized
business-like way. If the opponents to
improved roads had their way the rail-
roads would be neither profitable nor
pleasant.
The people of community are the
ones vitally interested in the roads of
that community.
If the farmers Of each township were
TO get together and mutually agree that
they would go about system of good
roads their sum of happiness would be
increased.
Since the people pay for the roads
why not have those that are cheapest
and most pleasant-the very best ones?
Good Roads.

FINDING The LEAK.
The Product of the Fields Pays the Mud
or Stony Road Tax.

The Product of the Fields Pays the Mud
or Stony Road Tax.
Time spent in marketing farm prod
uce is dead loss.
This loss falls on the crop produced
by the farmer. The dappled fields of
green and golden wheat know it and
the corn leaves whisper it to the lazy
pumpkins yellowing in autumn sun.
They know that against them viii be
charged all the time of horses and men
and all the wear and tear of vehicles en-
ployed in transporting them to market.
They know that if the road to town is
very bad and but half load can be
marketed in twice the time required for
marketing full load with good road,
ii will all count against them when the
years business is finished and the books
are balanced.
They know that production and con-
sumption are the great contending
factors of the farm. Hor yes and men
are consuming the crop while they are
producing it. The consumption of it
does not end until it is exchanged for
its cash equivalent. The fewer the
number of horses and men, the less the
amount of time employed in producing
and marketing it, the more there will
be to credit to the worth of the crop.
The mud tax, or stony-road tax, or
the steep-grade tax is assessed against
the product of the fields.
If the farm isn't q paying investment,
the "why?" should be looked into.
The farm. itself, may show profit.
The miserable road to market may be
the Improbable part of the business.
Roads should be so made that loads can
be hauled to market when fields are too
wet to work.
Quit charging the fields with the great
loss of time, the broken vehicles, the
worn-out horses and the many other
ills occasioned by poor roads.-Good

There is at present about 11S
miles Of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT-.
ford where box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise

Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The Gila valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge of the res
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands of two miles, the dis
tance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the Gila mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
Of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the Gila
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de-
veloped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is a virgin field for both the
minor and capitalist and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining com
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,
and the Arizona Copper Company,

The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tons of copper per day
and of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,
900 annually.
Experts are at present prospect
