THE KANSAS COW.
Mr.. Coburn's Report Gives Among Other
Valuable Features, the Results in
Experimental FeediBg.

The Kansas COW has been brought to
the front prominently once more By
the quarterly report Of the Kansas
state board Of agriculture, which has
just been issued s Speaking Of the
report Secretary F. D. Coburn said:
HThis report is intended to contain
as conciseIy as possible the latest and

ton lasts preference will be given to

is three cents
A comprehensive report Of the ex-
periments in feeding at the state agri-
cultural college is given and sugges-
tions made regarding the best kind Of
COWS to keep for dairying purposes
and the kind Of feed to use. Mr.. Co
burn says that the work Of improving
the Kansas COW is progressing rapidly
and that dairying is becoming one Of
the important industries Of the state.
ssThe first and absolutely necessary

says IN his report, sis a successful COW.
To be successful she must be profit
able. Not a few~farmers, when hearing
of the profits to be derived from pri-

lished creamery, become intoxicated
over the prospects, and as q result
every COW on the farm and every COW
that can be bought in the neighbor-
hood, regardless of quality is drafted

months or perhaps a year, and, after

LAST OF THE HAND BRAKES.
Freight Trains Will Be Equipped
With Air Brakes After Aug. 1.

The national law passed several years
ago requiring all cars TO be equipped with
patent drawbacks and air-brakes will be-
come effective next Wednesday, Aug. l,
and the roads are preparing to comply
with its provisions The time limit OF the
law has been extended several times, ow-
ing to the request of the roads for fur
Their time in which to change their equip
ment, but this is the final limit and no
complaint has been made by the roads,
or further time requested.
Nearly all freight cars are now equipped
with air-brakes and patent draw-heads,
the companies finding 1t was to their ben
eft TO do so. Now and then there are a
few cars which will be located at once
aud scratched off the list The railroads
are going down their rolling stock reports
and are preparing 10 store away all cars
not properly equipped until they can be
overhauled or rebuilt in accordance with
the requirements of the law. From now
on the freight train will be as well equip
ped with brakes and couplers as a passen-
ger train and the old-time brakeman's job
will be a thing of the past.
The report of the Southern Railway
has been made public and shows some in
teresting figures The actual amount OF

of 50, 473, 900. or over 10 per cent, compared
with the previous year The net earn
ings estimated for the same period were
IS, 1863, coo. The net earnings for the eleven
months ending May 81 show an increase
Of $4,000. and 1t is believed that for the
year the increase will be $4,000. An in
teresting fact is that the gain Is on more
mileage than was operated during the
year ending June, 1899. After deducting
interest and rental a balance is estima ted
of 1898. co., which would be equal to net
earnings of So per cent. on the preferred

Works and Roads ChaDIn.
After the inspection. Nj Eason was
seen By a representative OF the Morning
News. and expressed himself as well sat
isfed with the condition and manage
sneut Of the camps. They compared most
favorab.y. he stated with the camps in
those counties Of the state where similar
places Of work and detention for rnisde-
meanor convIcts are best managed, and
his grounds Of criticism were founded
more upon matters OF detail than upon
matters Of principle.

well pleased with the county farm The

Mr.. Eason expected 10 leave for his
home az McRae this morning. his inspec-
zion of the convict camps having been
concluded. He expressed some sur
prise at the number Of conwcts whom
he visited, saying ne had no idea Of the
extent OF the criminal population Of the
county Of Chatham. II was explained 90
him that the well-fsled condition OF the
convict camps resulted rather from the
vigor with which crime was prosecU ted,
and the severity with which il was pun
tshed in Chatham county. than from the
inherent vic.ousness or crHninslity OF the
people.
