srEADo MARKET AT WICHITA
Kansas and Oklahoma shippers Can De.
pend on the Wichita Hog Market.

Mr.. George Dold. manager Of the Dold
packing house at this place. says that the
Wichita hog market is steadily improv-
ing. Most all the hogs raised in south
ern Kansas and Oklahoma are market
ed in Wichita, which has put more mon
ey into the pockets Of the farmers and
shippers of this section, but has also en-
abled the Do,d packing house to run
steady. thus employing a large force OF
men who help consume the farmers pro-
ducts. For many years the farmers and
shippers have been very much dissatis-
fed with the Kansas City market, which
is 50 uncertain, hogs shipped from iths
section may be sold for 20 or Is cents
less than the market was the day ship
ped, while the Wichita market seldom
varies, the price being abou: the same,
and can be depended upon. besides being
less shrinkage on stock shipped or drove
here than would be If shipped 70 Kansas

Charles Smith, a negro, was cleverly
day while in the very act of attempt
ing to dispose Of some sroIen golo cut
l-ngs.
Ten days ago the dental office OF Dr..
S. S. Noble in the Biting block was en-
tered by a sneak thief and dental in
struments and gold filings OF an esti-
mated valued of fully $50 taken. En-
trance had evidently been made by
means of an open transom. The police
were promptly notified and had s,nce
been watching for traces Of the thief or
his plumber. Tuesday, Smith appeared
with a small quantity OF the filings at
the establishment Of z. r. Gallant, the.
manufacturing jeweler. He put up a
very plausible story as 10 the way ne
had come into possession Of il, and Mr..
Gallant weighed and bought it, giving
him $3.50 for t. A day or two later Dr..
Noble called and described the gold
filings that had been stolen from him
and Mr.. Gallant knew at once that the
filings he had bought had been stolen.
Consequently he watched carefully for
the inevitable future appearance of the
negro. He left the worknen instruc-
tons to tell the fellow to call again if
he happened 20 come in his absence and
when the negro walked UP the stairs
and into the office early yesterday morn
ing ne was told to return in two hours.
He fell easily into the trap, and thus
made his capture very easy matter.
As soon as he reached his Office and had
been told of the mans temperance he
called a. police headquarters and Officer
Collins accompanied him to the work

long before Smith again put in his ap-
pearance Then officer Collins stepped
up behind him and made him prisoner.

NO INVENTORY NEEDED
Judge Hay maker Dismisses Case Agains
Weirick Estate.

In the Peter Weirick estate, after a full
hearing, Judge Haymaker decided that
there was no evidence that would war
rant him in making an order requiring
the administrator, P. L. Dougherty, TO
inventory any additional property. Mr..
Weirick's daughter-in-law made a COM
plant that the administrator had not
correctly inventoried the property; that
William Weirick and G. S. Weirick
owed the estate, and that no account
was taken by the administrator Of their
Indebtedness. The evidence showed
that the father. in order 10 equalize
matters, gave these two sons certain
sums. and as a consequence there was
nothing for the administrator 10 do in

afternoon the cat is taken down town
by its master for an airing. On these
occasions it wears stylish suit of
clothes, walks in its rear legs and doffs
its hat to the ladies. The cat, however,
Is not devoid of bad habits, having ac-
quired the vices of smoking, chewing
and drinking. 1t smokes cigars and de-
lights in an occasional chew of tobacco.
1t drinks beer with the greatest relish
and prefers lager to a glass of milk
any time. The cat seems proud of its
accomplishments and will not asso-
ciate with others of its kind. The most
peculiar thing. however, is that the cat
will not catch mice or rats and turns
away in disgust when they are brought
to it. Pickles, the sourer the better, It
eats gredily, and can get away with

twenty years. 1t should be sown In
drills one foot apart, and when the
plants are or 8 feet high they should
be thinned out so that the plants will
be 8 inches apart from each other in
all the rows. Great care must be
taken for the first year to keep down
all weeds as soon as they appear, else
they will choke up and destroy the
young Seeding asparagus. The deeper
the soil and the greater abundance of
manure that is used the greater will
be the crop. Until the Palmetto was
brought out, Conover's Colossal was
the leading sort, and justly so; but
Palmetto is not only much earlier, but
Is also n better yielder and is more

Milk with Dry Hands.


1t Is not neat practice to wash the
teats or to wet the hands before begin
ming milking, though it is often prac-
tised, and occasionally is recommended.
Brushing off the loose dirt that adheres
to teats and udder is all that is re-
CURED. If hands are wet some of this
dirt, full of germs, will be moistened,
and adhere to them. More or less will
fall into the milk pail. By carefully
rubbing teats and udder with a dry
cloth all the particles that will come
loose by dry milking will be removed.
1t is very rare that milk is injured in
this way while milking is being done.
1t Is much more likely to occur by the
odors of fresh excrement, either liquid
or solid.

Grain for spr;up Feed;ny.

At present low prices for grain it is
cheaper so far as nutritive value is con-
cerned than any kind of forage. Part
Of this cheapness consists in theGreater
ease with which grain If fed in ni3dera-
ton can be digested. This is especially
true Of spring feeding. AS the time APP

Sowing Clover Seed on snow.


1t Is well to sow the clover seed or
winter grain as early as March, and on
the snow, IL possible. There need be no
fear that seed thus sown will be wash
ed away, unless in places where the
land is not onl overiowed but strong
current Is running. The seed Is heavy
enough to sink in water, and it is pretty
sure as it touches the moist earth to be
imbedded in it and ready to grow. Or
spring grain, of course, this early seed
ing is not possible, for the surface must
at least be dry enough to cultivate, and
snow rarely falls after that time. We
have, however, occasionally sown
clover seed on snow over spring-sown
grain, and neither the seeding nor the
grain crop was injured by the snow

Prefers the Poorhouse to Comfort.
An old man who said his name was
Thompson applied to the County Court
at st. Joseph, Mo-, six months ago to
be sent to the poor farm. He had a
letter from Chief of Police Broder, In
which 1t was stated the bearer had
been a resident of the county for more
than thirty years. He was sent to the
county almshouse. Two weeks ago 1t
was learned that the old mans name Is
not Thompson and he is not a pauper.
He Is the father of George Mafield, a
prosperous young business man of that
city. When he went to the poor farm
he told his son he was going to the
country to visit relatives. He wrote a
letter to his son occasionally, in which
he said he was having a good time and
would continue the visit. The son
went to the poor farm upon discovering
that his parent was there and tried TO
induce him to return home, but he re
fused. He would stay in the poor
house until he died. There was no es-
arrangement between the father and
Son, and the elder Maxfield is the own
er of enough property to keep him In
luxury, but he prefers the poor house.

ECONOMY of Hornies. Cows.

Not as much is said recently about
dehorning cows that have been allowed
to grow to maturity with these useless
and dangerous appendages. We hope
1t Is because dehorning the calves by
applying caustic potash to the places
where the horns start has made dehorn-
ing needless. There is not only free
dom from danger to attendants from
cows without horns, but there is much
greater economy In stabling them.

G1eanings,

Filthy drinking water kills more
fowls than cholera, roup and half a
dozen other diseases.
In feeding calves it is a good plan to
add a small quantity of oil meal cooked
to a jelly to the skim milk to take the
place of fats.
For cream, milk should be set as
quickly as possible after milking, and
the temperature reduced at once to pre-
vent the formation of fibrin. To this
end all the improved methods tend.
A California man has a steaming
process for killing insects on fruit trees
The process consists of heating the at
mosphere about the trees to about 100
degrees, which does not injure the trees
but destroys insect life.
Give every tree that bore heavily last
season good top dressing Of well
rotted manure, out as far around at
least as the branches extend. II the
ground is in cultivation, fork this well
down into the soil in next springs cul-
tivation.
Early potatoes may be secured by
early planting Of early varieties in deep,
rich, warm soil, followed by thorough
cultivation or mulching with straw.
We scatter the straw about four inches
deep just as the plants are coming
through the ground.
A cockerel can be caponized at any
age, but, as with all other animals, the
best results are obtained by perform
ing the operation when they are young.
No definite time Of the year can be

Sunfower seed is worth seventy five
cents a bushel, and there is consider
able demand for it. At this price II

be sown as an adjunct to the poultry
farm, and fed to the fowls a much
greater return could be had from it.
Too much corn fed to the COW will not
