Farm Notes.

farm Notes,
Kansas, in 1897, reports 222, ,7O3 head
of sheep.
Under average conditions, it is not
advisable to have young sow farr0W
her first litter in the fall, as neither her
nor her pigs will do as we'll.
The number of swine in Kansas as
reported for 1897 is 1889 ,494, the lar
gest in the States history except in
1855, when there were about 2h per
cent. more.
However the pedigree, the hog that
will pay the farmer best is the one that
will convert surplus corn into meat,
making the greatest number Of pounds
for the amount of corn consumed, and
do 1t at the earliest age.
Referring to cross between the
Berkshire and Poland-C China, there is
an increase Of frame and flesh from the
Poland-China, and a finer-grained
quality of meat, which is from the
Berkshire, and, perhaps, little more
energy and hardness.
A comprehensive work on the USE
full fiber plants of all countries has been
prepared by the Office Of Fiber Investi-
cations, United States Department of
Agriculture, and has just been issued
from the press, known as "A Descrip-
tive Catalogue Of Useful Fiber Plants
of the World" being Report No. 8,
Fiber Investigations series.
Added together, the last years prod
uct from the Kansas cows and fowls
amounted in value to $9,019,273, or a
sum sufficient to pay the entire State,
county and city taxes of 1896, with all
the used appropriations made by the
Legislature for that year, and still
leave balance which would build at
least 200 very respectable school
houses.
So far as can be done, the sows that
are to farrow fall pigs should be bred
in good season SO that the pigs will
have time to get well started to grow
ing and accustomed to eating before
cold, stormy weather sets in. With all
pigs intended for market quick
growth and early maturity are essen
tial and a good breed aided by good
treatment will be necessary IL this Is
secured.
Those who feed cattle for the market
or cows for butter and milk, should
learn once for all, that animals which
they feed are only machines to manu-
facture what they eat into the products
which are brought to the market. If
the best is to be produced, the material
the animals must be Of the
best quality, especially Immediately
before they produce what is intended
for the market.
The enumeration made by Township
Assessors in March and returned to
the State Board of Agriculture shows
the number Of milk cows in Kansas as
552, ,5S8, an increase during the previous
year Of z per cent, or 36,96S head. The
increase is quite equally distributed
throughout the State. The counties
having the largest numbers are Dick
ins0n, Washington and Sedgwick, with !
1876, 12,S6S and 1908 respectively.
A growing interest in poultry is
found in all parts of the State and the |
value OF fowls and their products sold |
exclusive Of home consumption re-
Feals an increase Of $SOO,O77, or a total !

A thoughtful POpulist will spend
what money he needs to spend with
those who advertise in Populist papers,
and thus support his friends by encour-
aging their customers. Are you a
thoughtful Populist?

NO Bar screen. Allowed

The saloonkeepers in the lower part Of
the State evidently dislike the law prohi.
biting screens at saloons during thehours
the saloons should be closed, but as there
they were made to obey the law, while
here it is totally dsregarded, Represen-
tative Elkhoff, on behalf OF the saloon
keepers, introduced a bill TO repeal it, but
the liquor committee agreed not to re-
port it and consequently the prohibition
still exists. II they can carry out this
screen law in the lower part OF the State
why can it not be enforced here? II it
we're properly enforced here, as it certain
" should be, move in the right direc-
ton would be made and would in many
instances put stop at once to the late
hours which are so detrimental to allpro-
,riety. The same committee reported
ayorably on changing the law 80 that
aloons may be opened on the Fourth OF
July, Labor Day and New Years day.

The common council committee OF Red
Jacket having in charge the purchase OF
a new street sprinkler met this morning
and opened the bids. There were only a
few bids in, the lowest OF which was the
Carlton Hardware company. The coun-
cil will, therefore, recommend that the
carlton company be instructed to pur-
chase the sprinkler. The new sprinkler
is 10 be made by the Studebaker wagon
company and is known as the Stude-
baker pattern. It is steel tank with a
platform. The water tank is cylinder
in shape and is supposed to be the best
pattern on the market. The sprinkler
has what is called the Niagara Spray
arrangement for sprinkling the water,
This is an Improvement on the old style.

Diseased Parts Can be

A MOMENTS THOUCHT-A LITTLE

the First Cure Ever Endorsed by the
Medical Profession.

We all know that the air passages In the head
were made 10 heat and dry the air before II
reaches the bronchial tubes and lungs. We all
know that one single drop Of water In the wind
pipe will almost cause s,rangulaton. and that
moisture Of ANY KIND cannot enter the brUn-
chial tubes and lungs How. then. can you expect
TO cure diseases Of these passages with liquid
medicines which are simply forced through the
nostrils into the mouth, and are prevented BY
nature itself from going farther. This attempt
to drown the bac.ll! Of catarrh. which thrive and
grow on moisture. would be amusing. II 1t were
no. for the serious injury which often results
from tho usc Of strong liquid medicines forced
into the delicate mir passages by powerful
sprays. douches and atomzers. The difference
between the old and new method Of treating
Catarrl Bronchitis and Consumption is 50
great that any one can readily understand why
the medical profession throughout the whole
country have accepted the later os the only nat.
ural treatment for these diseases. The first.
mentioned being against all the laws OF nature
the later. natures own Remedy. carried to all
parts Of the head throat. and lungs by the air
You breathe. and killing at once the germs
which cause the disease. All this without any
effort on the part Of the patient. except the
simple act Of breathing.
