THAT KANSAS BISHOP.

Ex-senator Ingalls, writes a pep
perry letter to q Kansas Methodist
Bishop in which he tells some whole
some truths The Reverend jaw
waggers should confine themselves
more closely to the truth when dis
cussIng subjects outside of their par
ticular line Of thought and then they
would not run against snags, such
as the good Kansas Bishop did.
Senator Ingalls, told the truth when
he said that the people who attended
the Carson Knockout were an aver
age of American manhood. Kansas
or no other State in the American
Union can boast OF better men than q
large majority Of those were who wit
messed the blow that put Corbett out.
They many not have been as aes-
thetic or hlgbly cultured as this good
Kansas Bishop but in all the elements
that 20 to make up American man
hood Of the best type they were
greatly his superior. They would
scorn to bear false witness against
their neighbOr as this pretended fol-
lower OF the lowly NaZarene has done
against them. In this they stick
closer to the laws handed down from
Mount Sinai than does this sniveling
Bishop who traduces them.
If these good preachers who never
tire Of abusing Nevada because it
took the limit off of prize-tighting
and allow men to fight to finish,
would just lay aside their false piety
for little while and take III finish
fight they would leave the arena with
higher estimate of mankind than
they had on entering it. They would
simply see two well-tralned men, in
perfect health. fighting for supremacy.
1t is nothing moro or less than a
scientific test OF endurance and is not
nearly 80 brutal as many of the games
those good clergymen look on with
perfect composure.
Those who attended the Carson
fight have no apology to make to this
Kansas Pharisee or to any other who
may rise in the pulpit and denounce
them. They saw the fight as it was
and not as pictured by the distempered
brain Of Kansas Bishop. If they
sinned in seeing it, much more do
those sin who lie about them and
traduce them. May God have mercy
on their shriveled souls!

THE FARMING WORLD.
HAY GENERATES FIRE.

Reasonably Well Authenticated Cases
OF Spontaneous C0mbasti0n.
Whether or not hay ignites spontanc-
cusly has never been determined. Usu-
ally the fire has originated where con-
siderable quantities of clover hay have
been stored. In nearly every case the
stacks or buildings WI re entirely con-
sumed, SO it was impossible to deter
mine the origin Of the fire. At the Penn
sylyania experiment station barns in
1895, fire was seen dropping from the
ceiling of the COW stable.
Investigation proved that the fire was
confined to a NOW of hay 1sx23 and
about % feet high. The draughts were
stopped and the top of the NOW kept
covered with wet blankets. Openings
were made in the sides of the barn and
all the hay, about 80 tons, was pitched
out. While removing this the entire
center Of the NOW was smouldering and
ready to burst into flames when ex-
posed to the air. Fortunately hydrant
was near at hand and the top was kept
constantly saturated and the barn thus
saved. All the center of the NOW was
thoroughly packed, hot and smoking.
The high temperature of the hay made
1t decidedly uncomfortable for those
who were removing the smouldering
fodder.
The holes burned through the NOW
floor were above the middle of the sta
BILE and not near the walls. 1t was evil
dent that the fire could not have been
accidental or incendiary. The hay was
second growth clover and timothy.
mostly clover. and when harvested was
thought to be in unusually fine cond:-
tion. The fact that it was very COM
pact gave color to the theory that the
combustion was spontaneous. Exam
ination of the hay, after being thrown
out of the barn, showed that large
proportion of it was SO thoroughly
charred that it would crumble when
handled. Some if it had not been SUBJ
jected to so great heat and was only
brown in color, but was wholly unfit
for stock.
For several days previous to the fire,
a peculiar odor had been noticed about
the barn and examination seemed to in
dicate that the rowen was heating, but
there were no indications of fire. The
odor soon became Sc strong that it was
compared by some to that of burning
grain. While positive proof as to the
origin of this fire may be lacking, the
circumstances are such that it is safe
to consider it spontaneous.--Amer

ABOUT EARTHwoRMs.
How they Maintain the Living Lay
er Of Vegetable Mold.

AAOW tAey SAu1nta1n tne Living Lay
er of Vegetable Mold.
A discussion on the subject of earth
worms and vegetable mold appeared
in recent issue of Longman's Maga-
zine. The writer, Grant Allen, states
that it was Gilbert White, of Selborne,
who first of all pointed out the impor-
tance of earthworms as producers and
maintainers of living layers of veg
etable mold. 1t was the patient inves-
tigations of Darwin, however, which
fully established the fact, and raised it
to the rank of scientific discovery,
his first writing on the subject appear
ing in the Gardeners Chronicle. Later
he issued an entire book on this inter-
esting matter. Darwin showed that
carthworms act upon the soil in three
ways. In the first place they open up
and loosen the ground for the roots to
penetrate, more perfect aeration of the
soil being thus obtained. The acids
they secrete also act chemically upon
the layer of rocks beneath in way that
assists the disintegration of the latter.
In the second place they crush in
their gizzards small fragments of
stone and liberate their component ele-
ments. In the third place they drag
down into their burrows countless
numbers of leaves, which they eat. and
carry up the refuse to the surface. It
is computed that no fewer than $4,000
worms inhabit an acre of garden soil.
These worms pass through their bodies
ten tons of material in year, and
throw it up as mold at the rate of one
inch in depth every five years. The
greater part of the mold is composed
OF refuse of vegetable matter. and is
teeming with myriads of bacteria.
Even after allowing for other cooperat-
ing causes. earthworms are response

PROGRESSIVE METHODS.
Butter Put Up In Attractive Packages
Always Sells Well.

Butter Put Up in Attractive Packages
Always Sells Well.
People who buy butter place greater
stress upon the appearance of the pack
age as it comes frem the hands of rhe
dairyman than many of us are inclined
to think.
For many years it was the fortune Of
the writer to buy the butter used in his
household. Such an experience will
soon convince one of the value of neat
ness in butter-making. We, indeed, suf-
fered many things from those who Of
fered us their wares. Poor tubs and
pals, with brine leaking through the
stained and discolored slaves: half
salted and over-salted goods; under
colored and over-colored butter; butter
fresh and butter old and altogether un-
pleasant to look upon-all these and
more were presented to us for p,lr-
chase.
When we came on the farm we deter
mined to make the best butter we could,
and offer it for sale only in the most
attractive form possible. Ny wife had
the advantage Of having been born on
farm, and, further, of having had for
mother an excellent butter-maker;
and our goods were always good. But
ter made in the summer would stand
until the next spring without injury.
We used the very best oak tubs and
took every possible pains to have our
butter salted properly.
Recently we have procured butter.
carrier with trays, etc., and fine print.
Butter put up in this way presents
charming appearance. The other day
offered fine line put up in this way to
the city trade. There was but one COM
ment: "That looks fine, anyway"
or Isn't that lovely butter!" 1t took
me but short time to dispose of ALI
had on hand and at something above
the market price. One man took q lot
without tasting or even smelling it; but
he had had some before and knew what
it was.
This method of putting up butter we
continued until June, when we began to
put it down in tubs for storing until
next fall.
It is not strange to me that SO much
butter is sold at a low figure when see
how absolutely inferior much of it is.
There would be decided improvement
all around if everyone used the greatest
possible care from milking to market
ing to do their work thoroughly and
WELL. II those who do not exercise this
care could be compelled to buy for
year or two believe their eyes would
then be opened to the great value of
neatness in the dairy.-E. L. Vincent,
in Western Rural.
