1t appears to be settled at the pres
ent writing that the Kansas corn crop
will run somewhere from 90O,0OO,o 900
to 4e0,Oe0,00O bushels. II this corn
had to be shipped out OF the state in
its raw state there are not enough
cars in the state to haul the crop out
before the next crop will be ready to
harvest and deliver. But Kansas
doesn't have to ship out her corn.
Saying nothing about the hogs and
sheep in the state there are, accord
ing to Secretary Coburn, $685. 6S
cattle 10 the state ready to take care
Of that corn. Estimating that it
takes ten bushels of corn to fatten a
steer, there will be enough of this
years corn crop to fatten all the cat
tile in the state and still have few
hundred thousand bushels left for
seed. However, as not over one-third
of the cattle will be fattened, the
amount required for that purpose will
not be over, say, 9O,0OO,OOO bushels.
When we come TO figure on the amount
of cattle in Kansas the sum total
passes the ordinary human cOmpre-
hension, just as tile estimated corn
crop does. Estimating five feet to
each animal and standing the entire
Kansas herds in ine, the line would
extend a distance of 1850 miles. Es-
timating that one quarter Of a pound
Of beef is good meal for an individ-
ual, we find that Kansas has enough
cattle to feed every member of tie
human race for period Of eight days,
giving each one a square meal every
day. II all the cattle in Karsas could

Some Little-Known Facts.

Only 10 per cent. Of all the families in
America employ domestic help, leav-
ing 80 per cent without even one SER
want.
If all the dressmakers known to exist
in America worked twenty -four hours
of each day for whole year, without
stopping for sleep or meals, they would
still be able to make only one dress
apiece for less than seyen-eighths Of
the women of America.
Not 6 per cent. of all the women in
America spend as much money as fifty
dollars per year on their clothes.
Out of twelve million American fami-
lies the income of four million of these
families is less than $500 each per year,
and the incomes of nearly IS per cent.
Of the entire number are less than ST.

A POSTAGE STAMP.
1t Might Have Become the Most Va1u
able in the World.

1t Might Have Become the Most Va1u.
able in the World.
In the year 1851 12-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the Government of Ottawa, says
the Outlook. The public did not re-
gard this somber issue with favor, so
few were Issued. One Of these stamps
was sent to the Hamilton postofice,
where it was sold to an old gentleman,
who said it was shame to print the
Queens picture on stamp that might
be handled by profane hands. Tender
~ the gentleman put it ON parcel,
sending it to a friend in the United
States. Here, in the wastebasket, it lay
for many "a day, till an errand boy
found it, and quickly transferred it to
his album. Despairing of getting q
good collection, and his fever somewhat
abating, he sold them to a dealer. The
new owner, ON looking at the catalogue,
found that what he had paid SIS for was
worth S25. Accidentally this stamp was
slipped into 25-cent packet, and sent
to dealer residing in Hamilton. When
the latter opened the packet he was as
tonished to find such valuable stamp,
and, being honest, wrote his friend to
inform him Of what had happened,
Offering him $1,000 for it. The offer
was accepted and the stamp again
changed hands. By this time the stamp
had increased in value, and not few
came from a distance to look at the
treasure. One day an English noble
man, who, through a Canadian friend,
had heard of the stamp, offered 81, 800,
which offer was accepted. The English
lord, falling in love with an American
heiress, and wishing to gain the favor
Of her brother, presented him with the
stamp as token of his esteem. Here,
in it's new and luxurious American
home, it came to sad end, for one
day the maid, by mistake, swept the
stamp, which had accidentally fallen
out of the album, into the fire. In an
instant the stamp, which thousands
had heard of and longed for, went up
in smoke to the broad blue sky, leaving
not a trace behind.
