have a new one soon.
There is an excellent deposit of fire
clay at Thayer awaiting some one to
come along and work it up.

ed several hours later in the death OF

nell's cousin, Brakeman Perry Day,

Every farmer should select his seed
corn for next year without delay. The
best percentage of termination has
been secured from seed corn gathered
when quite green and lliln-dried. For
the majority of farmers, this method
! is not practicable, but nearly every
/ farm house has garnet warmed by
the kitchen chimney, where seed corn
could be stored to 'cure." The enter
prising farmer will make use of the
facilities at his command
Secretary Coburn says: In Kansas
the hog finds the favored zone-hls Ell
dorado. Here he attains the qualities
which make his flesh delicacy sought
of epicures in Ocident and Orient, no
less than fit and staple ration for men
of heroic undertakings, iron nerve and
cool brain, like those who at Manila
and Santiago fired the unerring shots
that wrecked loose the props of a
throne, revised the worlds map, and
replaced tyranny's flag with "Old
Glory"
Coffeyville is to have pottery plant
which will give employment to forty
men, and in which natural gas will be
used for fuel. These natural gas towns
have a great cinch on business. The
Atchison Globe is trying to arouse in
terest in this matter over there. 1t is
claimed that there are the best indica-
lions of plentiful supply of gas in
that vicinity. If Atchison should strike
natural gas, coupled with its excellent
railroad facilities, the town would be
cracker jack.
The dairy class at the agricultural
college has been testing adulterated
milk. Each member was supplied
with five samples of milk, without
any knowledge of how they had been
treated, and asked to give diagnosis
of each sample. By the use of the
thermometer, lactometer and Babcock
test they found that one sample was
normal milk, one sample had been
watered, one sample skinned, one
both watered and SKINNED, and one
had cream added to it.
1t may not be generally know, but it
is fact that the Kansas hog is fully
entitled to stick up his snout and take
considerable pride in his juicy fairness.
BY referring to Secretary Coburn's re-
port it will be found that ''the average
value of the Kansas hog is 20 per cent
greater than that of the Missouri
porker; AZ per cent above the Virginia
hog; 81 above his Kentucky relative; 62
per cent higher than the Texan; 1874 in
advance of the Arkansan, and 139 per
cent greater than that of the Florida
hog" Of course there is no great
glory for the Kansas porker in out
scoring the razor backed windsplitters
of Arkansas and Florida, but there is
whole lot of satisfaction in knowing
that he lays out his brethren in states
which are supposed to be some pump
lzins when it comes to hogs. There
are but eight states which have more
hogs than Kansas, and but four in
which their aggregate value is larger.
A Wichita girl who went to Chicago
a year or so ago and married a printer
has Just learned that she is not her
husbands onliest own by a long shot.
He has another wife living in Chicago
The Kansas man who disappeared
recently showed up few days later
with the statement that his mind was
blank from the time of his disappear
ance, and that he did not know where
he was or what he had done during
his absence. 1t would be interesting
to know how this explanation is re-
garded by his wife.
Western Kansas prairies are sprink-

towns out there where the people new
