SALVATION OF COTTON.
Senator Morgan Predicts Great Things

Senator Morgan of Alabama. prophe-

cotton and is about to start a crusade
in the south to spread the new gospel.
In his prophetic vision he sees Manila
the great cotton market of the world
instead of Liverpool. Instead of paying
toll to British brokers, spinners and
ship owners he predicts the time is
coming when Americans in an Ameri-
can city, in the Pacific isles, Will han
die two-thirds of the cotton of the
world and save billions to the cotton
growers of America.
Liverpool has built on American
cotton, at the expense of American
growers, while Manchester has thriVed

Prof. B. J. Skertchly, who is staying
FOR a week or so at the Murray Hill hotel

interesting experiences to relate. He is
an Englishman by birth. but at present
he considers himself aresident of Austral-

Tribune reporter yesterday afternoon the
professor said:
Until within the last twenty years pi-
Tacy was the one liberal profession worthy

East Indian archipelago, say, from Sing

eminently respectable professions. it has
fallen into decadence, owing chiefly to the
close patrolling of the sea by British and

these pirates were two tribes, called the

GREET THE 10Th.
Special Train With State Of
ficers and Others Will
Go to Frisco.

It is extremely probable that there
will be a special train from Kansas to
San Francisco, carrying those who go
to greet the returning volunteers Off
cially, and parents and friends who will
go to welcome the fighters back to their
native land.
There is much interest being mani
tested on every hand and the people
who are talking of going will be sufh-
cient in numbers to secure the equip
ment necessary to make up special
train.
Since the Santa Fe has secured the
contract to haul the soldiers from San
Francisco, this road will likely handle
the special going if one be made up.
The general plan of the committee,
which has been appointed to provide a
welcome to Topeka for the soldiers is
to meet the soldiers in San Francisco.
This means that the governor and
his staff and some of the state officers
will join the committee in the trip to
San Francisco.
The governor expects to call a meet
ing of the non partisan reception COM
mittee for September Is. He has had
this idea in mind for several days, but
has not officially announced the call.
The contract for bringing the Kan
sans home has been secured by the
Santa F'e and this popular railway will
give the soldiers a ride in Pullman
cars. There's nothing too good for the
Kansans,' said a Santa F'e passenger
frst-class standard PuIlmans if we can
procure them for the trip.
The KansanS, sailing on the Tartar,
have been put ahead Of their turn in re-
turning to America. The Washington
regiment which will not sail till Tues
day, on the Pennsylvania, reached the
Philippines before the Twentieth Kan
sas.
The voyage of the last three regi-
ments that have crossed the Pacific has
occupied about a month. The Kansans
should arrive in San Francisco about
October 2. The muster out will prob
ably take three weeks for the compile
ton of rolls and settling of accounts.
regiment should be ready to start for
home the last week of October and
should reach Topeka before November
l. Governor Stanley has arranged with
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road to transport the troops from San
entire expense to be borne by the state
and the railroad will wait for its pay
until the session of the next legislature.
The Tartar, on which the regiment is
returning is a large transport, capable
of accommodating 1.5O0 men. It was
chartered in July and has just finished
its first trip to Manila for the War de-
partment. General Joseph Wheeler
was its most noted passenger.
The Twentieth Kansas regiment has
been away from home fourteen months
and from the United States ten months.
Two battaliOns of the regiment sailed
for Manila on the Indiana, October g.
The other battalion followed November
g. on the Newport. The transports
reached Manila December l and 2. The
regiment was in the fighting from the
beginning, in February, and was not
removed from the firing line till late
in the spring. It has seen nine months
service in the islands.

sunaower Seed For Cattle Food.

SunfOwers are no longer to be re-
garded as mere garden ornaments with
a faculty for turning their heads so
that their large, full faces are aimed
always at the sun. The plant is a big,
oily, gold producing article Of COM
merce and has it's own peculiar points
of growth and management 1t has
just been learned in England that sun
flower seed Is the most fattening of all
foods for cattle Several farmers there
are coming money by raising the plant
wholesale for market. Within mile Of
the principal farm in the southern
counties there are more sunfowers
probably than in all other parts of the
world. The farms look like great
yellow mists when viewed from Edge
ton hill, 20 miles away.
There are 500 acres of sunfowcrs al
together, and when the ripe heads are
cut in the fall the crop will yield about
300 wagon loads of seed. The market
value of the seed is $50 q load-a total
income Of $4,000 for the crop. The
seed is crushed and pressed into cattle
cakes. TO raise these great sunfow-
er crops the fields must first be fer
tilted with calf bone dust. That is an
expensive feature. Twenty men are
employed in the bone grinding mill.
The fields have to be watched close
ly while the flowers are ripening
Blackbirds, starlings and especially
sparrows know the fattening qualities
of the seed and immense tlocks Of the
birds come from all points Of the COM
pass to feast upon the growing crop.
Boys are posted around the edges Of the
plantations during that period to scare
the feathered thieves away.

West Indian Cattle.

Some Of the stockmen who have re-
Gently visited Cuba and Porto Rico
have expressed their surprise at the
large size of the native cattle, there
having been no attempt made to i'm
prove them by the use of bulls of the
beef breeds. 1t must be remembered,
however, that the abundant supply of
highly nutritious pasturage throughout
the year and the mild winters Of the
West Indies permit the calf to grow to
maturity without any check. This
alone is enough to account for the
large size attained by range cattle on
those islands, The native stocks in
Texas have degenerated from taxing
the ranges too heavily and from the
stunning effect of winter on young
stock. With the food and climate
which the Porto Rico cattle enjoy
they ought to be large.-Live Stock.

Two Hnrpr rhnu.htn

From far away Ceylon comes a
funny little story A tea planter who
had glass eye was DESTROYS of going
away for DAVIS shooting with a
friend, but he knew that as soon as
the natives who We're at work on the
plantation heard that he was gone they
would not do a stroke of work. How
was he to get off That was the ques-
ton. After much thought an idea
struck him. Going up to the men, he
addressed them thus:
Although l myself will be absent,
yet l shall leave one of my eyes to
see that you do your work" And
much to the surprise and bewilderment
of the natives he took out the glass
eye and placed it on the stump of a
tree and left. For some time the men
worked industriously but at last one
of them, Selling his tin in which he
carried his food, approached the tree
and gently placed it over the eye. This
done, they all lay down and slept
SWeetly until sunset
