+. Topeka dispatches state that the
Kansas legislature has determined to
add to the state penitentiary a manu-
factory for the production of binding
twine. A committee was sent to Min
nesota to see how the twine factory
was conducted there, and 1t returned
with the most fiattering reports. The
action of the Legislature meets with
the hearty appreciation of the Kansas
farmers, for they have been buying a
great deal of binding twine in the last
two years. There is no twine made in
the state, so that there would be no
competition with free labor in Kansas,
whatever 1t might be on the outside.
The plant viii turn out annually about
100000 pounds Of twine. The an
nual consumption Of the state Is esti-
mated to be 25.000,O0o pounds.
