Capital; The completeness of Re.
publican victory in Kansas is not
shown by the $4,000 majority. 0I
the lO5 counties of the State Leedy
carried but 25 and several of these by
less than 10 votes. 1t is doubtful
whether there is today a single coun.
ty in Kunsas a majority Of whose
voters are Populists. And as Popu-
lism exists nowhere but in Kansas,
the low state of that party's vitality
is apparent, Populism has made
more noise for so limited an aggrega.

Kansas seems to have made up its
mind not to have any more Populist
judges. 1t has not only turned down
Justice Allen but in judicial district
elections was strongly in favor Of Re-
publican nominees. Judge Mckay,
who used to boast that he would not
confirm mortgage foreclosures was
badly beaten.
Complete official returns from the
23rd district also show the reelection
of Judge Lee Monroe by a vote Of
3,24S to 1857, nearly two to zone, over
ex-Appellate Judge A. D. Gilkeson,
the fusion candidate. The same coun-
ties two years ago gave Leedy l76
majority and the change therefore is
tremendous. Judge Monroe has a
majority of 3S7 in Ellis county, re-
ceiving the highest vote ever cast
there for Republican nominee hav-
ing an opposition candidate, and he
is,'we believe, the only Republican
who has carried the county over a
fusion opposition since the advent Of
the Populist party in Kansas politics.
1t is good sign when the people de.
mand sound political principles in
their judicial offices.

and selling at once. He says that he has
put rs cent wheat in farm granary,
and after holding two years, sold for so
cents. He believes that harvesting in

The POTATO Eield.

During the grain harvest the potato
field is apt to be neglected. This was
bad enough in the days when weeds
were the only enemies to be feared.
Since the potato beetle has become COM
mon, there should never day pass
when some one does not go through the
field and destroy all the Larvae in sight
1t is easy to see by examining the
leaves whether eggs are numerous. If
they are not, hand picking of beetles
will suffice. A dose Of poison applied,
diluted with water at the rate of a tea
spoonful of the poison to pail of wa
ter, will Kill the larvae SO soon as they
get to work anu prevent most of the
damage. 1t is very difficult to have this
done SO promptly that part at least of
the hills will not be stripped before the
poison is applied. But in harvest time
there are several hours of daylight early
in the morning, when dew will prevent
doing much in the harvest field. If this
makes too many hours work per day,
take longer nooning If the grain
harvest and the care of potatoes conflict
most farmers will be wise in giving the
preference in care to the crop that is
most profitable, and, concludes The
American Cultivator, it takes several
acres of grain to equal in value large
potato crop on one acre.

ing specimen as in the enlarged picture.
If the bee is filled with honey, the bands
all show more plainly, and if the bee is
crawling up pane of glass in the win
dow it looks somewhat transparent
where the yellow bands are. If very
empty, as in the case Of dead bee,
you may not notice the yellow bands.
These bands are not uniform in ap-
pearance. The front part of each of the
three bands, as at A, B and @, is dis
tinct yellow, the other part, as at j K,
less so, because this part is covered with
kind of hair or feathers. These hairs
or feathers are sometimes rubbed off, as
in the case of robbers or diseased bees,
and then all the bands of the black bee
and the black bands of an Italian bee
will be a shining black.
By selection in breeding bees have
been produced that have more than
three bands. Five banded bees are quite
common in America, for this increase
of yellow bands has been made in this
country, and some bees have the abdo-
men yellow to the very tip.

Feeding Value of Straw.

In ordinary farm practice in Utah
the straw is considered of very little
value. In many instances, instead of
an economical use being made of it,
whole stacks are burned, and instead of
the plant food contained in the straw
being returned to and thus enriching
the soil it is wasted. Feeding trials at the
state station, however, have proved con-
clusively that straw can be used advan-
tageously for feeding in connection with
our most common forage crop, lucern.
The old assumption that the crude
fiber of straw is indigestible and that
its digestibility as whole is far less
than that of other coarse folders has
been shown to be erroneous. Experi-
ments made on the digestibility of straw
show that two-fifths OF the total nu.
trients, including the crude fiber, are di-
gestible, at least by ruminants, thus
making it very little below other coarse
folders as regards digestibility. Straw
is rich in crude fiber and poor in pro-
tein; hence it is not suited alone to
form ration, but very desirable when
fed with a fodder rich in protein, as
lucern. Its value varies considerably,
according to the kind, the manner of
sowing, the soil and the time of sowing.
Armsby says that oat straw stands first,
barley next and wheat last in feeding

Gleanings Here and There.

The wheat crop of Nebraska is re-
ported one Of the heaviest in the his
tory of the state. Indications are that
it will exceed $50, 900, 900 bushels. The
grain is sound and in every way excel
lent. Corn prospects are also fine.
Farm News says that Katfir corn has
been making steady progress in Kansas
and other parts of the west for several
years. 1t possesses the advantage that it
may be planted very late and yield a
full crop before frost i'll the fall. 1t also
endures the dry weather of August and
September, and in this respect is SUI
perior to corn.

and after that served q couple of years
with Captain Gridley on the Brooklyn.
His service from that time took him
consecutively to the Pawnee, the Guer-

ready tongue which goes with the ma
tionality from which he sprang, but he
does not use it like one who has kissed
the blarney stone. He is not only a
voluble talker, but is a peculiarly

putting fire into a letter which has won
him a place among letter writers of the

A lister is Il plow Of which the point

point, slopes both ways. So it is much
like large shovel plow or plow with
two shares and moldboard, only, of
course, not SO large as where there are
but single ones
To list ground we commence at one
side Of the field and go forth and back
just as you would lay off or mark out
corn ground with the old single shovel
plow, except the ground has not pre-
viously beeh plowed. The planting can
then be done in the lists or furrows by

commissioners to Hawaii have already
been named, but they cannot hold office
forever, and your turn may come some
day. When it does you will be glad
that such islands exist, for Honolulu is
very nice place to live in, especially
when you get big salary for living
there.
If you are interested in the refining
OF sugar, which you probably are not,
the annexation of Hawaii means lot
to you.
If you are one of those fortunate peo-
pie with time, money and desire to
travel, here is new field A limited
number of tourists annually take IL
glimpse at Honolulu, Generally on their
way to the orient. But there is much
to be seen in the Hawaiian Islands be-
sides the capital city, and when enter
prising Americans get to running win
ter resorts and steamer lines travel there
will be very comfortable indeed.
You can go by steamer from San
Francisco to Honolulu in from six to
seven days and your ticket will cost you
$75 for first class or $25 for steerage,
or you can take cabin passage on a fine
sailing vessel and have two weeks
trip for $40. There are about 70 miles
Of railroad lines on the island of Ha-
waii, but they are little used for pas
senger service.
II you are business man with some
capital, you will be interested to hear
that Hawaii offers fine openings. At
present there are few manufactures
there, the principal industry being the
management of plantations Factories
of the right kind would probably prove
better than gold mines.
According to recently published
report by Consul General Haywood,
Hawaii at present imports almost ev-
erything she uses, aside, of course, from
sugar, coffee and fruits, attention hav-
ing been almost exclusively given to
the raising of sugar, all of which, aside
from that consumed in the islands, is
exported to the United States.
II you have only your two hands and
no capital, stay away from Hawaii un-
til you are offered position there. The
market for all kinds of labor is over
stocked, and it would be very unwise
for any one to visit the islands with no
capital on the mere chance of obtaining
employment
Wages on the plantations, including
house and firewood or room and board,
range from S125 to $175 per month for
engineers and sugar boilers, $50 to slO0

Grape Pomace a. Fert,l,xcr.

We have found by analysis that the
average pomace of California grapes is
worth about 50. 80 per ton as fertilizer,
counting nitrogen, potash and phos-
phoric acid. When allowed to lie out in
the open air fermenting, the losses by
bleaching and evaporation reduce this
value to the extent of 81 to $3.50. Po-
mace is therefore eminently worthy of
being saved as a fertilizer and can
readily be preserved by siloing in case
the farmer is not ready to plow it in
