When we came to Kansas, 16 years
ago, many farmers owned 100 to 500
head of cattle. They pastured them in
the Strip" in summer and brought
them back in winter to feed. They made
self-feeders as follows: Set posts firm

one way and six to eight feet the other.

WANDERING IN DREAMLAND.
How an Absent-Minded Woman
Created a Laugh In n
Street Car.

The young woman's mind was probably
way off in the land of cut-on- the bias, and
yokes and farings, and plaitings, and
applique, and ruffles, and things like that,
whatever they may mean, says the Washing
ton Post
Any yhow. when she got on. an uptown
Ninth street car the other afternoon, she
dreamily opened her pocketbook when the
conductor came around for her fare, stuck
a gloyed finger and thumb into one of the
compartments of the same, extracted a
couple OF foulard samples and, with that,
faraway expression still in her eyes, handed
them to the conductor. The conductor was
a middle-aged man. He smiled and waited
for the young woman to come out of her
trance. But she held the foulard samples
out to him with her eyes on vacancy, until
the conductor, still grinning, had to fetch
her back to earth.
"Yes, they're pretty, miss" he said, "and
I'd like to get my wife dress off that piece
on top, but she's
The young woman blushed like red
hot stove lid, dug into another compartment
of her pocketbook for car ticket, and she
looked real embarrassed when the brutal
male persons across the car aisle grinned,
so she did.

Bone in the Warm Season.

Some persons are disposed to use
green cut bone only in winter, but a
small quantity fed once a day in
spring and summer will greatly pro-
mote laying and be of much advan-
tage to moulting hens. The bone cut
ter does not ''grind" bones, but "cuts''
those fresh from the butcher, and a
pound of green cut bones, given at
night to 20 fowls will cost but little
and prove beneficial in promoting lay
ing. For geese and ducks there is no
food that will show better results, es-
pecially for those that are growing
as it supplies the elements of growth
and thus prevents them from having
leg weakness. Do not give too much,
but use it moderately in connection
with variety of other foods.-P. H.
Jacobs, in American Gardening.

How to Plant Popcorn.

Popcorn may be planted closer
than any other varieties. One plan OF
planting is to make the burrows three
feet apart and have the corn stand
one stalk in hill, IA inches apart in
the rows. If the corn is planted very
early or late it will not suffer SO
much from the worms as the medium
planted crops. Where irrigated, care
must be taken in keeping the water
from the stalks and not give the
plants more than two periods of ir-
rigatiop during the growing season.
The poor ears can be fed to poultry
with profit and the fodder is relished
by the cows, sheep and horses. Fs<

BARBER GOT IT MIXED.
In Relating Little Joke He. After
the Manner of His Kind, Turned
1t Upon Himself.

Henry Lamm, an attorney of sedalia, told
a story at the reception to the Missouri Bar
association recently which caused a great
laugh, says the Kansas City Star. Mr.. Lamm
was allied on to make an impromptu speech.
He said:
"This is taking an unfair advantage of
me. ] have paper in my pocket which I
am to read at the meeting Tomorrow. 1t is a
very dry paper and it will take me an hour
to read it. II am given the slightest en-
cour2agement l will read it right now. That
would be one on you, wouldn't it?
"And that reminds me. l was in Texas
recently and there they have a new joke.
A man asks you: Have you heard the story
about the two dirty collars?' You are sup
posed to to; answer: No And then the man
says: That's one on you.'
"A Dutch barber who had been sold on
this joke concluded to try it on the next
customer who came into his shop. So as he
was getting ready to shave the next caller
he asked MIN:
"'Haf you heard dot story about the two
dirty collars?'
No,' answered the customer.

WASHINGTON, Ga, May 2S.-The
success attending the eclipse observa-
lions here was highly gratifying. Prof,

expedition from the Massachusetts in
stltute of technology, gave out the fol-
loving statement at 8 o'clock:
The weather here was perfect. The
altitude, 80 degrees 43 minutes, Iongi-
tude hours 80 minutes, Sc and two
tenths seconds. G. l.. Hosmer, observ-
er The first contact was at seven
hours two minutes fifteen and eight
tenths seconds, local mean time; sec
ond contact, eight hours nine minutes
OF and fiye-tenths seconds. The time
of totality was one minute and twenty
i've and three-tenths seconds. A. G.
ROBBINS, observer. The magnetometer
showed no disturbance in magnetic
decllnation. Seven sketches were made
OF the corona and six photographs
taken by Harrison w. Smith,
The success of the observations here
was wired to London, England, in one
minute, by direct wire to the cable
Office in New York City.
Prof. w. H. Pickering, at the head
or Yale's expedition, furnished the fol-
lowing statement:
The weather here was perfect and
the observations entirely satisfactory.
We secured SO plates with intramercur-
ial apparatus and 81 with 10 other
cameras, aided by 10 assistants. The
plates will be developed in Cambridge
Observatory. usually, with five-inch
telescope, the corona resembled that of
the $50 eclipse. Two large solar pro-
tuberances were noted. Our polar fila
ments, six seconds in diameter, traced
the corona about one degree. The
shadow of the moon on the sky and
shadow bands were we'll seen. Venus
and Mercury were conspicuous. The
inner corona was visible in the tele-
scope several seconds after totality was
over. There was no dark band around
the moons limb during the partial
phase and no detail on the moon dur
ing totality."
WASHINGTON, Ca, May 2S.-The
officials of the Naval observatory here
received dispatches from their working
parties at Pine Hurst, N. c., and Barn
esville, Ga, Immediately after the
eclipse of the sun this morning stat
Ing that the observations at these two
points were entirely satisfactory. The
weather was clear, the instruments
worked well and the entire programme
of observation was carried through
without hitch. No further details
were given.

A beautiful Spectacle.

FORT MONROE, Va, May 2S.-The
sun was totally eclipsed at $3.50 o'clock
in cloudless sky. Thousands of peo-
pie crowded the piers, verandas and
ramparts to watch the marvellous phe-
nomenon, and at the moment the sun
was suddenly snuffed out an involun-
tary cheer arose and every vessel on
the roads whistled an accompaniment.
The period of totality was about thirty
seconds, during which time tiny star
hung just below the magnificent cor
ona which glowed around the inky
disc. Twilight settled on land and
water and the skies took on wonderful
after-sunset tints. Then as though by
magic star of fire blazed out on the
southern boundary of the disc and the
eclipse was over. The President and
party watched the phenomenon from
the Dolphin near Lambert's Point, and
Secretary Gage and party from the
lighthouse tender Holly The Dolphin
came over from Norfolk at 9:55 and
after salute from the Kearsarge pass
ed on up the bay for Washington.

Good Photographs Made.

PINEHURST, N. c., May 2S.-Eclipse
observations here were gratifying
success. Prof. A. N. Skinner. in
charge of the naval observatory party,
furnished the following statement to
the Associated Press at 10 o'clock:
"The sun rose clear and the sky was
unobscured by clouds. The delicate
apparatus was in perfect adjustment.
The first contact occurred at the pre-
dicted time, 1885. The beginning of
totality was the signal for the work of
the morning which was accomplished
in the short time of "a seconds. Five
spectrum photographs were obtained
with the fiat grating and the concave
grating by DR.. Ames and his assist
ants, Huff, Gilbert and Reese. DR..
Chase, of Yale, obtained four fine spec
trum photographs with the objective
prism spectroscope. Fine photos of
the outer corona were obtained by the
six cameras on the polar axis by Gore,
Ball, Eichelberger, King, Caperton and
Kent Good drawings of the corona
were made by Prof. Wood, Frisby and
Yowell Prof. Wood and DR.. Dorsey
used polariscopes. Mr.. Parsons took
some valuable polariscope photos. Mr..
Cotton took five fine photos with the
forty-foot lens. Everything passed off
successfully. Every plan was exc
cuted"

Economical Society, of London; Yerkes
Observatory, Princeton University,
Charleston, S. c., Military Institute,
and a representative from the Toronto
(Canada) Astronomical Society was
also at work. The eclipse furnished
a beautiful sight, and the observers
unite in pronouncing the conditions
perfect. Prof Barnard, of Yerkes OBJ
servatory, stated that the totality per-
iod was slightly shorter than calcu-
lated, which proved the moon tables
to be slightly incorrect. All the prin-
cipal work was photographed and the
programme was completely carried
out. Many photographs were taken by
all the parties at intervals, and espec-
tally of the corona. Several telescopes
were used in trying to discover more
satellites between the sun and the
planet Mercury. OF the actual results
nothing can be told for some time.
