THE kissing epidemic is largely the

increase and promote its development

one of the principal causes. and ac-

Zone curious feature is that those in

CORN AND LIVE STOCK IN KANSAS.

Franklin Mathews in Harper's Weekly.
"Why," asked the Hon. II. A. Hub
bard, president OF the Kansas Swine
Breeders A Association, i'm 1S05-"why
do farmers market lucent corn, when
it will bring them so cents if fed TO
hogs" The farmers have not only
learned that the best way to sell corn
was by Transforming 1t into hogs, but
into cattle and poultry, and the result
is that of the $40, OOO, 600 increase in the
productivity of Kansas in 1897 one half
and trifle more came from the in
crease in live stock. In other words,
by the time that 1897 arrived the Kan
sas farmer had found out that there
were other things than corn worth
while raising, and that although corn
was the largest crop, and must contin-
ne to be the largest crop, in The State,
there were profitable ways of dispos-
ing of 1t other than by selling it at cost
price or lower.
The farmer of the Middle West last
year adapted his methods to his soft
and to probate prices. 1t thould be
remembered that the State is a sloping
plain. A the eastern end it has an ell
ovation of 765 feet above the sea-level,
and at the western end the elevation
is 1865 feet, or rise which is about sew
en- feet to the mile. III the southeast.
ern quarter of the State the crops al
most never fail. The western half is
given up to natives, grasses, and is
calledsthe short grass country, 1t is
not productive of cereals under culti-
walton, owing to the altitude, the lack
of water, and the condition of the soil.
Nature intended it for livestock
grazing country. The Hon. Thomas
Potter, president of the State Board Of
Agriculture, is responsible for the
statement that his cattle have gained
three pounds day in weight by being
feeding on these native grasses. 1t is
in the western part of the State that
the abandoned towns and farms are
found. Farming as carried on else
where, did not pay; but it is in the
western part of the State also that the
revived cattle industry of Kansas is
tlOurshing. 1t was in the central
west that the gaeat wheat crop was
raised
The reports for 1897 show an increase
of 300, 600 head of cattle for slaughter
in one year. That increase alone
brought more than Sl1 100000 in the
years prosperity for the state. Last
year the cattle for slaughter in Kan
sas numbered 100000 In 1896 they
numbered 100000. The milch-cows
increased 81 900, showing a considera-
bic increase in the dairying industry.
1t is interesting to know that since
the year 1887 the average product of a
COW has increased from 81. 0l in cheese,
butter, and milk to S9.65. This is due
to a constant improvement in the
grade OF stock, and shows another
change in the farming methods. The
increase in the dairy products in 1897
over 1896 was 100000. The cost of
maintaining COW in Kansas is said to
be 30 per cent. less than in New Eng
land.
