Geographic communication with the

A Mcpherson county man who took
ashotgun to town with him few days
ago is one leg shy now. He handled
the gum carelessly.
A Phillips county man has . peach
orchard in which, if he uses proper
care, he can gather peaches that graw
three TO the pound.
Residents of the northern part of
Kansas, from the Missouri river clear
out to the state line are doing the
right thing by the Omaha exposition.
Emil Arner, former Saline county
man, is now general manager of a
cracker company down in the City of
Mexico, the property of Maine CAPT
talists.
This storm is little previous, and
is doing business in rather an italic
sort of fashion, but storm in Kansas
this winter won't bring the grief that
accompanied those that came q couple
OF winters ago.
There is almost as much Joy in a
country print shop over an item stat
ing that farmers living within short
distance of rival place are coming to
town with wheat. as over local which
brings five cents line.
Kansas will at last get some good
out of her road overseers this fall. A
ten cent stamp will be placed on all
nomination papers fled and of course
this hits the nomination for road over
seers as well as the rest of the push.
Right now Ellsworth county has
more money in the hands of the treas
urer than at any time since it was or
ganized. A good many Kansas farm
ers just now have OH hand more mon
ey than at any time since locating in
the state.
Many of the farmers have finished
gathering their corn and the yield is
said to be even beyond their expecta-
tons. The average yield is better this
season than since the opening of Okla
homa to settlement. The season has
been a good one and the nubbins are
scarce this year.
With the last weeks issue the Gay
lord Herald entered upon its Goth year.
This may not seem such a great age,
but it's a whole lot for q paper pub
lished in a small town in western Kan
sas; and the Herald never has had
more news. more ads or better stuff to
set them with, than right now.
Two men, one aged, the other young
and claiming to be his son, have just
cleaned up $500 from a Council Grove
loan agent. They presented abstracts
and deeds showing themselves to be
owners of farm near that place and
secured the loan to make improve
ments. An investigation shows that
the title is missing. The men have
Jeff the country. The papers were all
forged.

key Creek township, Mcpherson coun-
ty, is nearly completed. 1t cost about

Henry Stout had strange exper-
fence in well-boring recently. In dig
ging a well on his place near Beverly
it was found necessary to go to depth
of over eighty feet to get below the de-
posts of shale and rock which inter
vened between good water, and when
the last ledge was pierced artesian
flows followed with great force. The
stream is nearly six inches thick and
was thrown out of the mouth of the
we'll to a height Of over thirty feet.
The water is very clear, cold and pure
and the flow seems inexhaustible.
The Kansas Experiment Station at
Manhattan has made some valuable
experiments in fattening pigs on Kafir
corn. When fed in connection with
alfalfa. soy beans or skim-milk it is a
valuable food for fattening hogs, but
when fed alone it is not equal to corn.
In the western part of the state Kaffir
corn is more valuable to raise for hogs
than corn because it is much more
certain crop than corn in that locality.
The soy bean is found to be one of the
best crops for resisting the drouth a1d
the soy bean and kaffir corn, when fed
together, make most excellent ration
