ing over Kansas with view Of locat-

Thousands OF tons OF baled hay Is
being shipped out OF Kansas every
week.
The farmers ARE busy gathering corn
in southern Kansas, and the yield is
good.
Chetopa now has natural gas. The
gas has been turned into the mains
from the Higgins & Dunn wells south

and as fast as the plumbing can be
completed II will come into general
use. The quality Is excellnnt and the

Tho standpipe at Horton is 1850 feet

TO Its top. Mrs, Melenaslsa was board
ing the men engaged in painting the
pipe and they said no woman could

hands from the dish water, went out
and climbed the ladder to tho upper

The visit OF party OF fasteners to
Sedgwick county has started the sale
Of another Kansas product. While
here the easterners enjoyed hunting
jack rabbits so much that they agreed
to buy all the live rabbits that could
be shipped TO Them The animals are
placed on the hunting reserves OF New

For twenty-eight years Leslie RAN
dolph, editor of tho Nortonville News
Herald, lived in school district in
Atchison county near Nortonville,
During that time he sustained n rela-
tionship to the school Of pupil, teach
er, taxpayer, officer and, finally, pa-
tron, 1t is hardly likely that there
are very many men in the state who
can duplicate such record as this.

tation for salt, but salt Is not the only
product that finds its way to the east.
Sedate Bostonians will soon be using
Hutchinson flour with their baked
beans. The Monarch mills have re.
ceived an order from large Boston
firm for 5000 pounds Of Kclly's -four.
TO fiji this order will require three
trains of twelve cars each. The flour
will be used in the retail trade in Bos-
ton.
With most cows the highest yield
for the year can be obtained by having
them go dry six or eight weeks before
calving, This is especially true of
those cows whose milk Is rich in butter
fat, and continuous milking OF such
cows without rest before calving usu-
ally results in q serious lowering Of
the yield for the entire year following
calving, and also frequently in weak,
puny calf.
Few farmers comprehend the feed
ing value Of alfalfa, though they may
have grown the plant for years upon
their farms. The digestible nutrients

tein. The fats and carbohydrates are
generally found in excess In the com
.-a1on feed-stuifs produced on the farin.
n substance indispensable to
the vital processes Of all living beings,

stitucnt Of the different feeds Pro-
ten contains nitrogen.
Hutchinson is to have n long desired
opera house. The plan is to convert
the upper stories OF the Woodman
block into modern theatcr The
building is plenty large enough and is
well located, The building could be
strengthened enough for the purpose,
it Is claimed, and room could be ar
ranged that would equal nearly any
opera house in the state. This build
ing has for long time been in litiga-
ton, and its owners have just succeed
ed in getting clear title to it. They
desire to put it in some shape that will
bring better rent and are now consid-
ering the opera house project.
In closing a write.up in the current
number OF the New England Maya
zine concerning the development of gaa
fields in lola and vicinity, Chas, Il.
Scott says "Kansas has been so long
and so generally regarded as purely
agricultural state that reports of her
mineral wealth have received slow
credence. 1t has been hard to forc)
belief that q fat, prairie state should
have immense coal areas, should have
inexhaustive deposits Of lead, should
have the richest zinc mines in the
would md should hava bundrads of
