FOOD PLAYED OUT
MOI ENOUGH IN WICHITA TO EAT
YESTERDAY.

Restaurants and Short Order Houses Were
Compelled to Close Up Last Night Be-
cause the Demand WAS Too Great
Every Bun, Ham Sandwich and Cut of
Pie Was Eaten by the Hungry Hordss-
All of Them Kept Open All Night
Thursday and We've Short to Start With
Did n OF Anticipate such a Gathering.
There was food famine in Wichita
last night before the fair visitors had
all been 10 supper the restaurants and
short order houses were compelled To
close down on account OF lack Of sup
plies. Every extra cook had a posi-
ton yesterday but the ycould not supply
the demand that was made on them
from early morn until about o'clokc
when they closed UP and went home.
Ii was at The noon hour that they
were in evidence and very much so.
The jam became so great that many OF
the shor, order houses would not serve
an order and they had a regular stereo-
typed meal ready 70 be served and the
hungry man or woman had 10 take that
or nothing. Ali day long the hotel din
ing rooms ard the lunch counters were
crowded. About o'clock IN the even
ing il was impossible to ge, anything
to eat. They had been cleaned up spick
AMI span. Bread and meat was at a
premium. Many went to the grocery
stores and bought canned goods or
cheese and crackers to appease their
hunger. Men very near came dolows
g supper time when some fellow tried
TO usurp another's place. Grub disap-
peared with such rapidity that 1t looked
as il a cyclone had struck the restau-
rant.
Many people became tired OF waiting
disconsolately at restaurants and broke
for the meat markets with an inspira-
ton. IN every case they found that
some one else had had the same inSpira-
ton. There was a wild scramble for
bologna or anything else eataF5le IN the
meat line.
The plain facts Of the business were
that the crowds took the restaurants
| unprepared. They were down TO bed
rock Thursday evening and had trouble
then in handling the crowds. All the
walters and cooks remained up all night
Thursday night and prepared stuff. But
they did not prepare enough. In fact
there was not enough to be had.
A scene in a restaurant last evening
was about as follows:
LIE: me have a sandwich"
Got no buns

Got no white bread"
well rye bread will do"
Last piece OF rye bread gone"
"Give me some plain ham, then"
"Walt till 1 go 10 the kitchen"

come back and say solemnly:

Then the hungry customer would
swear and rush off 10 grocery store.

Most OF the restaurants are cleaned

swept off the shelves and bread out OF
Of the pantries. Nine out OF ten lunch
counters in the town start in from the
bare ground this morning with every
thing new, even the mustard and pepper

years. One prominent restaurant in the

Stock.


The manurial product in stock
growing should pay every expense
but that for feed. Being thus free
from charges for labor, care and
housing, there should not be much
difficulty in making an animal pay
for its feed.
Every neighborhood has farmer
little more progressive than the
average; one who always has the
best of everything. These are the
persons to whom to go for improved
stock, for advice as to breeds, for
lessons in the care of stock, and for
wisdom upon many points in which
you may be deficient.
Those who are competent become
breeders themselves, and it is diff
ficult to get skilled manager to
handle breeding stock for wages.
Our agricultural colleges offer a
remedy to our farmers sons, and
their advantages should be better
understood and appreciated.
A deep chest and wide nostrels in
dictate healthy lungs, and in select
ing horses or cattle for breeding pur-
poses these are essential points to
consider.
A coat of fat upon the outside and
lining of the same will do much to
keep stock comfortable in cold
weather, and they are not apt to be
profitable unless they are COM
Portable.
Organize farmers breeders socie-
ties to advance the improved stock
business, to make stock raising pay
and to make the farm pay. Prices
for high breeds are within the reach
of any who care to improve, but
! these must soon advance, as they
are doing in some cases already.
Stockmen who continually pro-
! claim that there is no longer any
profit in their business should sell
out and give place to men who know
that such enterprise, properly fol-
lowed, is as profitable as ever, only
that the changed times call fol
changed methods.
Stock well wintered is half sum-
mered. When poorly cared for they
grow poor, and half the summers
pasture is lost; by the time summer
is ended such stock has just begun
to fatten nicely. Treat stock well
for profits sake and for humanity
sake.
Early maturity is especially i'm
portant in beef cattle rearing; pro
gressive breeders appreciate it, as
do the buyers, who pay the hes
prices for the early matured steer
which always has a superior quality
when finished off for the block before
two years old. Still there arr
thousands who do not seem to know
this.
Let the milk obtained from TIL
beef herd, or the beef sold from TIN
milk herd, be extra profit only, 70
to make it profitable on either hant
the stock must be selected will
reference to the speciality in view.
There is no reason why numbe
: of farmers can not unite in buying
, good stallion, or bull, as well as t
+ pay some one else for keeping it 70
them and making profit from then
, Cooperation in buying bloode

Items Of Interest to Farmers and
.4,; HOrsemen.

Find whether your COWS are
boarding you, or whether you are
boarding the cows.
Sow crimson clover the last of
August or the first of September,
and never seed it with fall grain, as
it natures too early. This clover is
of little value sown in the spring,
and it has proved a failure at this
time in whatever climate tried.
A sheep which starts to go down
does so rapidly. Dry feed is not
good for sheep, as their digestion is
not strong enought for it, and many
of their diseases are attributable to
1T. They need green, succulent
food to keep the bowels and other
organs in good working condition.
Roots ere excellent; so with en-
silage, in moderation.
Alex Mckay entered Upon his

this farm and Mckay will doubtless

Horticulture.

Peach trees, to be healthy and
yield more fruit, require fertilizing
and good cultivation as much as any
other tree; but when they receive
this they grow rapidly and form lots
of wood, and this should be kept cut
back just as should any vine or
shrub, by pinching or cutting off the
surplus growth.
Keep the orchard fenced from all
stock, plant to hoed crops for three
years, and then sow to clover.
When bearing give it load of
manure for every load of apples
taken away. Do not expect it to
bear for 20 years without food.
Combine bee keeping with fruit
growing, and you can more easily
procure two crops from the same
land; and this double cropping re-
quires no ADDITIONAL fertilizing, is not
exhaustive, demands no extra plow-
ing or cultivation. Few crops ask
so little outlay as the honey crop.
Endeavor to plant out trees which
are not more than two years from
bud or graft. They are more easily
dug, have better roots, hold more
/ firmly in the ground, and start into
vigorous growth again with less
check.
To set out nice orchard and ther
let the trees take care of themselves
is to ignore the thousand and one
dangers which are ever ready t
beset orchard trees. Let us no
forget that the primary object is K
grow healthy, strong fruit bearing
trees.
Ones own experience and obser
vatiOns are important, but to be con
fined to these is only to invite dis
NAL failure. Experience is a dea

Agriculture.

A theory may be all right, but
prove a fiat failure when tried by
some persons. 1t is easy to see how
way to know is to go to work and do
it. We may read much, and yet
know very little about the care of
stock. We can only know the true
value of theories by caring for them.
Some men will spend day in de-
nouncing the railway for charging
them three cents mile covered in
minute or two of time, on their way
to conventions, but have not a word
to say about the awful condition of
the roads which makes it cost them
a dollar or two a mile with load
which uses up an hour of time.
Usually the best profit from the
farm can be derived by growing a
variety of the crops best suited to
it, and then feeding them out to
stock on the farm and marketing the
same. The risks of failure are les
sened, and all the varied products
can be used to the best advantage.
Hard work and economy only will

cause the straw to grow too heavy,
and in a dry season the soil will be
too porous to retain the necessary

apply to corn.
If YOU cannot haul the manure to
the fields as fast as made, and have
no sheds under which to store it,
put it in piles and throw few
inches of earth over it. This will
preserve it in good shape and will
repay the labor required.

Sugar of milk is being made from

Poultry.

The great trouble is to have the
hens laying these cold days. Try
them with a hot meal every morn
ing of some boiled vegetables with
bran or meal. If very cold, warm
the water, and supply them often.
Do not forget the chopped clover nor
other green food, and the green
bone, cut or broken fine. Feed
meat scraps, and, above all, keep
the biddies warm and dry.
Every breed has points of merit Of
its own, with variety to suit every
taste, and the breeder who is versed
in the practical side of the business
makes success of it. The laying
qualities of hens are susceptible of
development, just as is the milking
trait in COWS.
Edward Atkinson says that the
