An Atchison band appeared on the
street the other day with the leader
beating the bass drum. The regular
man could not get out, and 50 the
leader look his place. A great many
people think that any old thing can
beat bass drum, but it is quite a
trick to do it correctly. One of the
best bands in the state of Kansas had
more trouble in finding a competent
bass drummer than 1t did in getting
men to handle the heavy brass and
reed parts.

and has already thrown down four
bushels of cobs and it is now thought
that his supply is almost exhausted.

do well. In winter wheat 1t excels
any other state. The eastern half pro-
duces large crops OF corn. Barley,'rye
and flax are good crops. Potatoas,
both Irish and sweet, beets, turnips,
carrots, and in fact all kinds of root
crops and vegetables are easily raised
and yield abundant crops. 1t pro-
duces more broomcorn than any other
state. Sorghum will produce twelve
tons of excellent fodder per acre and
is good crop in all parts of the state.
