Things That Are Told.

Nearly one-half of the population Of
Kansas is native to that state.
Uncle Sans land is not yet all gone.
In the arid regions, where irrigation
will be necessary, there are many thou
sands of acres to be offered to settlers as
soon as suitable irrigation plants are
established. This will be emphatically
true of Arizona, the richness of whose
soil, in the northern and central parts,
is we'll known.
A good windmill will always supply
food for one family.
The soil does not need irrigation
whenever it is moist enough six inches
deep to roll up into ball.
One bushel of seed per acre has given
best results at the Ottawa station in
three years wheat tests.
Five years ago there were probably
not more than 20 miles Of irrigating
bitches in the state of Nebraska Now
there are over 800, 900 acres of Nebras-
kas productive soil under ditch, reser-
voir and windmill irrigation, according
to a statement made at recent irriga-
tion meeting.
The nitrogen voided in manures is
contained mainly in the urine, and
therefore the liquid manure should be
saved even more carefully than the solid.

DIAGRAM OF FLOWED FIELD

the opposite way, the work can be most
admirably done. There is not the slight
est use of a swivel plow in order to turn
the furrows from the open bitches, since
by striking the ridge in the center of
the field, or if it is desired to plow in
lands a few PAGES from the border of
the ditch, and then "geeing" around
which really is the right way to do
most plowing-the furrow may be
thrown in the direction desired. See
cut, which may be taken to represent a
land or an entire field.

Absorbents For Use In stabIe..

The best absOrbents for use in stables
are comparatively little known. 1t is a
fact, however, says The Orange Judd
Farmer, that the low grade potash salts,
especially kainit, which is sold by all
agricultural dealers and kieserit (Which
is not so common), if sprinkled in the
stable daily or on the manure pile, vii!
absorb the ammonia or nitrogen, pre-
venting its escape while also adding
considerable potash to the manure pile.
Kainit contains about IL pounds Of ac-
tual potash to the hundredweight. Acid
phosphate is also good absorbent if not
too wet, and where the fine ground rock
phosphate can be had cheaply it may be
freely used in the stable. The decompo-
sition in the manure pile may assist in
making the phosphoric acid Of this raw
product available Fine ground land
plaster or gypsum (sulphate Of lime) is
also splendid absorbent and can be had
almost everywhere Where manures are
to be applied to land that seems to re-
quire the use of lime, plaster should be
freely used as an absorbent in the sta
BILE. These absorbents keep the stable
free from odor and also assist in pre-
venting the manure from heating

News and Notes.

The finest bred Angora goats in the
world, outside of Angora itself, are

roso and fell at regular intervals-that
sounded above the lncnotonous hum OF
the machinery.
"He will thrust her under the ham
merp'
So thought zach guard and each con
vict-so thought the father, whose feet
seemed chained to the floor and whose
face was whittier than the dead One of
the guards could have touched a button
and sigualed the engineer TO shut off
steam, but he did not move hand.
Either guard had fair mark to shoot
at, but their pistols were not lifted. Up
and down-up and down went the ham
mer, but suddenly the belt was thrown
over on the loose pulley and the mass
rested on the anvil. 1t seemed to those
who looked as if they had been looking
through q mist such a mist as rises
from earth Of a summer morning 1t
seemed to them that this mist thinned
out-cleared away before the influence
of rising sun, and by and by they saw
the child nesting on Big Tom hairy
breast, one hand smoothing his cheek,
and seeming to come from a long dis
tance off they heard her childish voice
saying:
"No, you wouldn't hurt Nellie-you
We t hurt Nelliel What makes you
Cry Have you got little girl too?
Won't they let you go home to see your
little girl?"
And the convicts advanced step by
step, and the guards crept forward, and
10 Big Toms tears were falling as he
hugged the child more tightly and kiss.
cd her fair hair and rosy cheek There
was silence yet-silence as he walked
to and fro and wept and sobbed and
lifted the child till she could clasp her
tiny arms about his neck and rest her
cheek against his. Not whisper among
the convicts-not move from father or
mother or the guards. By and by Big
Tom placed the child in its fathers
arms, wiped the tears from his eyes on
the sleeve of his striped jacket, and
with "God bless the little darling I"
and "Thank ye, sir" he returned to
his work, and the hammer was lifted
and held in waiting for the hot iron to
be placed ON the anvil beneath.
The guards motioned for the other
convicts to go back to their benches and
forges, and minute later the visitors
had gone and work was in full blast
The long expected outbreak had come
and gone. For 80 seconds Big Tom had
felt such a raging hate in his soul that
he was transformed into human devil.
The child had smiled into his burning
eyes-her soft touch had lulled him
her words had brought back his reason.
Was he punished? MOI A year later he
was pardoned, and today another fair
haired, blue eyed, smiling child puts
her arms about his neck and says
"You are such great, big papa, but
you wouldn't I never hurt nobody, would
you?"-Detroit Free Press.

with bolts--to "knock down" and move
If desired--ten pieces in all
For the first 80 inches the building is
feet wide; at that height is shelf
for the second row Of hives, which ex-
tends outward, making the building lS
inches wider from there up to the roof.
This arrangement makes it an easy mat
ter to stand on the floor and work the
upper tier of hives. The alighting boards
are 12 inches wide. The windows are
covered with wire cloth, doubled on the
upper half for a bee escape. The hives
are two inches from the wall, to allow
for packing.
The foregoing description appeared
with illustrations in The American Bee
Journal not long ago and has been here
reproduced because the owner, q New
Yorker, makes the following points in
favor Of his house:
Speed and ease in working. Every
thing is right within reach, and you are
in the shade. When you open hive,
the few bees that fly go to the window
escapes, and that ends the song about
your ears. Out of doors in the yard are
several colonies, and with hat and veil
ON you go at them; every cross bee in
the whole yard is investigating, and
the sun burns the back of your neck,
and the sweat runs into your eyes All
beekeepers know how it is. But go in
to the house apiaryi pull off veil and
hat-no bees to bother, and in few
minutes you think that working with
bees isn't very bad after all
In the fall, when an open hive is a
direct bid for robbers, there is only one
hive open at time inside the house.

A GentIemnnlY Profession.

A city man was lately asked to recon-.

which quick fortune could be made

of only two such professions, and they
were both rather hard to get into. They
were the professions Of Kaffir million.
aire and American railroad reorganizer.
The Kaffir millionaire is not entirely
unknown to our readers, but perhaps
they are not so well acquainted with the
railroad reorganizer. His native habitat
is New York, and he is only to be seen
in London as a bird of passage. He may
honor us with his company for few
days when ON his way to the Riviera or
the upper Nile, but he would be making
himself too cheap if he were to recog.
nize such thing as business when he
chad only run over for short holiday. I"
His work here is done vicariously
through sympathetic agents or public
spirited committees. He has also COM
mittees in New York, and nowadays he
finds it necessary to have syndicates and
underwriters as well.
A playful professional fiction assumes
that these committees have been elected
by the recognized bond and stock hold
ers to protect their interests. Another
pleasant illusion gives the syndicates
and the underwriters credit for stepping
into the deadly breach to save the reor,
ganization scheme from imminent peril
