The Kansas Cow.

The report of the Kansas stat.
board OF agriculture for the quartz,
ending September 30, is DEVOTED tc
the COW, her uses and abuses and he,
capacity for enriching the people Of
the sunfower state. It is in fact q
veritable COW cyclopedia, a bovine
wade mecum of much value to every
body who keeps cow or is going to
keep one.
The importance of the cow has
been dwelt upon before in these
columns, but too much cannot be said
in her favor. She is the wet nurse
of the nation, and when she fails or
refuses to ''give down" the people
suffer. Patient and long suffering,
she goes right along from year to
year, enriching the country; often
abused and poorly fed, but doing her
duty cheerfully and without COM
plant. She is one of the mainstays
OF Kansas. In ten years, from 1887
to 1896 inclusive, she has contribut
ed enormously to the wealth of the
state. During that period The butter
and cheese manufactured and dispos-
ed of and the milk sold amounted to
ST., 100000. In Central Kansas
within radius of Is miles 80 cream
cries are kept running and disburse
$40. 900 per month among the farm
ers of that region; and, the report
says, "the number of red barns, paint.
ed houses, smiling faces and happy
families is growing monthly in pro
portion to the increase in amount
paid out" by these creameries to the
farmers. Ten years ago this COM
munity received less than 81 per
month from this source.
There are half million cows in
Kansas at the present time, but there
should be 5000. 900, and the history
OF the creamery region in Central
Kansas could be repeated all over the
state. Iowa has 500 Aourishinp
and there is no good rea-
san why Kansas SHOULD not have Is
many. All that is needed is intelli-
gent care on the part of the farmer to
study the subject thoroughly, the
proper kinds Of food, the character
Of the animal he has to deal with.
and the climate and soil of Kansas
will do the rest.

tradicts the claim Of Mr.. Bryan that

Offers to Bet A Half A Million.

When E. r. Chapman of Moore Il
Schley of New York learned through
Senator Brice some facts about the politi.
cal situation in the middle western states
he said he would bet $500, 600, or any
part of it, that the Democrats would not
carry state east of the Mississippi river
or north of the Ohio. Mr.. Chapman also
has similar amount to bet that Nc

1t Is true, as Mr.. Boutwell, suggests,
that there could have been no need OF
stealth in dropping from the coinage in
1873 coin so rare at that time as to be
practically unknown. "From 1906 to
1885," he says, "the standard of the coun.
try was the gold standard, and it is quit e
doubtful whether in the year 1873 there
was person living who had seen an
American silver dollar doing duty in the
channels of trade.''

bond for the protection of cOnsignOrs

passed in councils through the efforts
of Mr.. Reagan. of the Sixth ward. re-
ceived the signature of Mayor Con-

in operation.
BY the provisions Of this new meas
ure no person or corporation shall. ex-
