WILL MAKE CHEESE.
Hiawatha Farmers Start the First
Factory in the County

Ground is being broken at Hiawathf
for the first cheese factory ever started
in this county. The rumor has been
in circulation that creamery was tc
be started there, but the fact was
that W. H. Hollinger, John H. Taylor
Clarence Taylor and number oI
farmers have all along believed that
better profits could be made out o1
cheese and have arranged to 60 into
the business extensively. The fac
tory will be devoted exclusively tC
this industry and an experienced
cheese manufacturer from Lawrence
will have charge Of operations. The
Lawrence cheese factory has fount
abundant market for all the cheest
it could make and there is no reason
why the people of central Kansas
should send to Ohio or Pennsylvania
for cheese. Indications are that there
will be demand for all that can b,
produced. The output will be about
800 pounds daily and soon we will al
be eating Dickinson county chees'
which ought to be as superior as il
Dickinson county butter.

LINCOLN SPLIT THE RAIL.
An Unique Relic Of the War Presi
dent in Abilene

When G. W. Hurd went east 0
couple Of weeks ago he visited his
parents in Galva, Illinois, and brought
back a treasure that is destined to be
an heirloom in the family for many
years. At the national Republican
convention in Chicago in 1860 I. f.
Hurd, Mr.. Hurd's father, was dele
gate. On the platform Of the hal
were placed number Of rails, and
Dennis Hanks, Lincoln's companion,
made speech saying that they were
split by Lincoln himself. After the
nomination Lincoln was called on and
said that while he could not identify
the rails, If Hanks said he had split
them it was correct. The eager dele
gates made rush for the relics and Q
man with saw quickly cut them into
lengths and they were distributed
Mr.. Hurd secured one and it has lair
in a bureau drawer for S5 years He
gave it to his son George who vii
cherish it as carefully as has th'
father, for it is on interesting re-
minder Of one Of the worlds greatest
men.

Some months ago one Of Sour's little
boys took from the section tool box
track torpedo. He wanted TO see
what was inside OF II and concluded
the best way to find out would bc to
break it open. 1t wasn't hard
thing to do. Laying it on rail he
proceeded to open 1t with a stone.
OF course it opened, with the result
that one hand was nearly torn OIL,
the sight Of one eye totally destroyed
and many cuts and bruises.
Sour claims the box should have
been locked and refused to accept I

until the result Of the boys injuries
are known. 1t Is understood that
the company will fight the case.

Bill Shook Mourns the Loss Of Pill.
wink Galore.

1t was was dry on southside Sun
day-so dry that the very atmosphere
had an unaccustomed lightness.
Mourning was noticeable in the
erstwhile refreshment parlors of
William Shook and Bill was chief
mourner. Bill has been running a
kind OF lemonade stand, temperance
drink dispensary and all-around pilli-
wink headquarters. He had fixed up
across the rear side of the room an
elaborate set Of shelves, mirrors and
counters which made very good i'm
itation OF Kansas City saloon. OF
course Bill did not run saloon but
it looked something like one. He had
on those shelves in fancy bottles
about $40 worth of Kentucky bour-
bon, old rye and other contraband
varieties Of drink-not for sale but to
make the place look home-like and
comfortable. He also had about 150
bottles Of the liquid called "tea, !"
"pilliwink" and "shorts" on the
witness stand-a liquid which nobody
has been able to exactly describe.
Well, some reckless individual or in
dividuals without the terrors Of the
law in their minds made a raid on
the refreshment parlors Saturday
night and when they left the beauti-
full shelves were as bare as the tradi-
tional cupboard of nursery rhyme
fame; the pilliwink, alias tea, alias
shorts, was gone-g-a-w-n, GAVIN. Is
it any wonder that there is mourn.
ing abroad in the land, mourning
that will not be comforted! 1t is not
every day that $40 worth of drink
ables can be secured in one night.
Somebody is evidently living high. A
lot Of people would call on him if
they knew who it is.

How to Start.

One of the best as well as most
economical ways of securing a start
for better poultry is to secure one or
more settings of eggs, of the kind
md breed wanted, and hatch them.
In a majority of cases if proper care
is taken, a good start of any kind of
fowls can be readily secured in this
way 1t is always true economy to
buy of a responsible breeder; one
that you can rely upon. Look over
our situation carefully and decide
1pon the breed and then get the
eggs. Do not make the mistake OF
undertaking to secure a start of two
or three breeds. Make a success with
one before starting more. It is just
rs cheap to raise good ducks, geese,
turkeys and chickens as it is common
owls, while the better breeds will
pay better profit and give more salts

Scratching Material.

1t is now considered essential to
keep laying hens busy, and one of the
successful poultry men asserts that
he attaches more value to scratching
material for winter use than to the
feed, and also claims that he gets
more eggs from leaves and dry dirt
than from corn. 1t is not inferred
that eggs can be produced from
leaves and dry dirt, but leaves are
valuable adjuncts in assisting the
food At this season of the year farm
ers can rake leaves and store dry dirt
thus having on hand supply for
winter. A poultry house that is COW
cred on the floor with leaves to the
depth of three or four inches will be
much warmer than if no leaves are
used, as the draughts are prevented
along the floor and the hens will be
more comfortable If a small guam
tity of seed is scattered in the leaves
the hens will be busy, contented and
keep in better health than if kept in
idleness. Dry dirt may also be used
under the leaves Or under the roosts
The combination of leaves and dirt
prevents dampness and assists in pre-
venting the accumulation of filth,
while the cleaning of the house will
be less difficult.

An Excellent T mic.

An excellent tonic, and one easily
made, is to take two pounds of new
cut nails and put them into gallon
lug. Pour over them half pint OF
strong vinegar, and as much soft
water as will just cover the nails,
.et it stand for two days, shaking &C.
.asionally so as to rust the nails in
very part. Then fill with water to
lake a gallon. Put about half cup
'ul daily in about gallon of drink
ing water, especially during change
f seasons. This gives a better iron
onic than the old method of placing
rusty iron in the drinking water, and
we like it better than plain tincture
If iron. If put in the drinking water
Turing Noting, it will give strong
violence of toning qualities, and if
laced before fowls recovering from
,ickness it shows it's strengthening
oOWer.-EX.
