important to Farmers.

The following communication was
received by US last week from the eX-
pertinent station of the Kansas State
Agricultural college at Manhattan.
We publish the communication in full
and request as many of our readers as
will to send in answers to the ques-
tions contained herein.
KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.
MANHATTAN, June II, 1899.
EDITOR WORLD,
DEAR SIR: Can you or your sub
scribers give me information in re-
gard to the growing of barley in your
county? To what extent is it grown?
What is the average yield per acre?
Can YOU expect a fair crop every year
or do you have frequent failures? And
what success have your farmers had
in feeding 1t? Any other information
in regard to raising and feeding bar
ley in your section of Kansas will be
gladly received.
The highest priced bacon in the
world is the Danish bacon made from
hogs fattened on barley and skim
milk. Barley is not a successful crop
in most parts of eastern Kansas, but
SO far as reported seems to be adapted
to the western part of the state. Chi
cago packers are going into Canada
and paying 81 per hundred pounds
above Chicago market price for barley
fed hogs in order to supply their Eng
lish orders for fancy bacon. You have
the creameries in western Kansas to
supply the skim milk, you have alfal-
ia for hog pasture, and if barley is a
sure crop western Kansas can with
proper feeding methods become the
fancy bacon producing region of the
world.
Any information you can send me
on this subject will be thankfully re-
ceived. III. Nj. CoTTRELL-

The Goodland News propounds the
following question to the Normal:
Two boys were selling apples. One
sold 30 apples at for l cent and re-
ceived 10 cents. The other boy sold ,
for l cent receiving Is cents, so to-
gether they got 25 cents. One day
the 3-for-a-cent boy got sick and gave
his 80 apples to the other boy to SELL
The 2-for-a-cent boy took the 60 APP
Piles to market and reasoned this way
Il will put the apples in one basket
If sell apples for l cent and my
companion sells for l cent, that is
the same as selling for cents, and
that is the way i will sell them''
When he had sold the 60 apples for
, cents he had only "a cents. If the
boys had sold separately 5 for cents
they would have had 25 cents. How
do you figure it out?

The Cove County Advocate says
there has been organized in Cove
county, the business men of Grain
field taking the initiatory steps, the
Anti-Prairie Fire association of west
ern Kansas. The purposes for which
it is started is to detect and convict
any and all persons who may set, start
and permit any prairie fires to burn
over the country contrary to the laws
of the state, and the organization
pledges its best efforts and Influences
to the upbuilding of a healthy public
sentiment favorable to this work so
important to the future of this sec
tiOn of the state in which the people
have chosen their homes.
The thoughtleSs, reckless, not to
say criminal habit of some persons is
denounced, such persons being named,
that they must be refrained from set
ting out and letting fires get beyond
their control.
Col. S. S. Reynolds, of Grainfield,
who has been a frontierman for near
ly thirty years in Nebraska and Kan
Sas, is one of the foremost men in the
organization.
He is firm believer that hot winds
originate in the immediate locality
where prairie fires have been the
most widespread. When the cattle
men had control of Cove county and
other western Kansas counties, hot
winds were rare if ever known in the
opinion of Col. Reynolds. but since
immigration has settled on the land
and the homeSteader has burned it
off, hot winds and drouth have been
more frequent.
