PedIgreed stock.

Il the time to begin the education Of
a boy should commence at the birth OF
his grandparents, as has been said,
the time for the selection Of breeding
animals should begin equally early,
declares The American Cultivator.
Herein lies the value Of a pedigree for
all farm stock, but It should be un-
broken, not only in the line Of descent,
but In the possession Of those qualities
desired in the future animal a neglect
to conform with this requirement. has
caused some to lose faith in the i'm
p~ortance Of hereditary influence.

the black sheep to produce them from,

Hungarian Hay.

Please allow me space to describe my
experience in raising Hungarian hay
and using it, says Thomas Hugh In
The Breeders Gazette. / am a breed
er of both sheep and cattle of good
strains, which is the first requisite Of
success on the farm, and the next step
is without doubt to have good forage.
Grain will keep up a good condition of
flesh in either sheep or cattle, but too
much. will cause sheep to lose their
feeces and check the flow Of milk
from cows. What is wanted is a for
age that is fat producing, but not so
heating as to have the bad effects SO
characteristic Of corn. I am not de,
nouncing corn fodder. I feed it ex-
tensively each year.
In Hungarian hay / find the best
combination Of these two conditions.
For milk coWs there is nothing better,
and when w consider the abundant
yield there is no ground for complaint
on the score of expense. From six
acres Of the poorest land on my farm
! have harvested 16 large loads Of this
hay. It Is not coarse like millet hay,
but owing to its nature and an album
dant allowance Of seed the hay is fine
and free from weeds. I sowed three
pecks on well ~pulyerized land and
worked the seed thoroughly into the
soil. I consider the best time to SOW
Hungarian seed is from May is to
June 10, and from three pecks to one
bushel Of seed own per acre the best
results will accrue.

Get Acquainted with sheep.

It is not enough to go into the sheep
barn two or three times a day, throw
down a little hay, give them a mouth
full Of grain and let it go at that, says a
correspondent of The Rural New York
er. The successful man gets acquaint-
ed with his fock-many of them indi-
vidually-during the winter and in
Landing time almost lives with them.
No two sheep look alike. Their faces
and voices are different. The reference
in the Bible to calling sheep by name
is no exaggeration. Several winters
experience taught me that they have
more intelligence than most people
think. They learn to know a person
who uses them well. A pocketful of
corn given as a treat at odd times will
get their good will. They crowd around
one of their human friends in such
cases as Office seekers besiege a candi-
date who has promised them fat posi-
lions. OF course there are sheep with
such strains of wild blood that it is
difficult to tame them. Some men do
not wish them tame. because they get
in the way, but Iprefer this to having
them scurry to one orn of the yard
as though a wild beast was after them,
as they will do after a few courses Of
the kick and yell treatment given by
some farmers. They learn to get out
of the way If i'll used and will teach the
such practical pocketbook sub
traction that he will conclude that
there Is no money in them. So much
for the sentimental side Of the sheep
business, but sentiment that arouses
an interest in the welfare of men and
animals is connected with common
sense and a good plank for a farmer to
have in his platform if he cares for the
good will Of his family and neighbors
and his financial success.

Successful Cultivation of Alfalfa ON

Promising experiments are being

of the national department of agricul-
ture in an effort to find a. way OF re.
storing the cattle ranges almost de-
stroyed by oyerstocking, says the New
York Evening Post. When the land
upon which the experiments have been
conducted vas shown to a committee
of experienced stockmen in March,
1898, they decided that it would re-
quire 16 acres of it to support "a COW
through the season and expressed some
doubt as to whether the yield of grass
would be sufficient for that, and this
season the agent in charge has been
pasturing cattle on this land at the
rate of one head for every eight acres.
There is now an unbroken turf over
the entire land and a fine carpet Of
grass. Before the experiments were
commenced one-half of the land was

eral of the experiments with the intro
duction of foreign grasses and foreign
plants have proved successful. Chief
among these is the experiment with
the "oasis" alfalfa. This is an alfalfa
that was found growing without irri-
cation on the high, plains Of India. The
agricultural department secured one
pint Of seed and sent them to the agent
for trial. This alfalfa grew rapidly
and reached a height of some two feet.
In July the drought set in, and by
Sept. ! the agent had reported to
Washington that this alfalfa was all
dead, and to every appearance it was.
On Oct. 20 the rains came. Green.
shoots started from the roots, and
from that date alfalfa eight inches tai,

SHIRE COLT.

the demand for trotters and PAGERS of
anything like high class has been ex-
tremely brisk this year, and the pros
poets are that without anything to
cause a great setback the advance in
values will proceed.
The department Of agriculture gives
us the pleasing information that the
average value of horses has again
risen during 1899. In. 1897 we reached
bedrock in prices, as in that year the
average value of horses was only
$31.51. In 1898 the value rose to
$34.26, and in 1899 it was $37.4O. But
the numbers have been steadily falling
since 1893, when we had 16,206,S02, un-
til in 1899 we had 13.665,307, a loss Of
.2,541,495, or at the rate Of nearly 425,-
900 per year.
Extreme speed is what brings money
today, says The Farm Journal, but it
costs a great deal to raise fast horses,
because there are so many blanks, and
the development Of those that prove
fast is SO expensive that men Of mod
crate means cannot afford to dabble in
fast horses. The, best trainers COM
mand salaries of $4,000 to $4,000 per
year, and a poor trainer is dear at any
price, because he is liable to spoil a
really first class horse if he is given
n to handle To sell without devel-
oping a horse is next to impossible at
any price representing a profit. On the
other hand, horses without great speed
and combining size, style and pleasing
colors can be sold to great advantage
without expensive trainers and scien-
tifc training. aCompactly built hackneys
fill the bill. "

to doubt it, their number is SO verv
small as compared with the great
mass of Negro teachers in this state,
that their complaint only serves to
accent our remarks of last week. The
State Teachers association is open to
all. The same courtesy is extended
to the colored teachers as the whites.
They have the privilege of enjoying
the lectures, papers, discussions, ETC.,
lust the same as the whites. No
separate room is provided for them.
They are accorded places on the
program and cordially invited to par
ticipate in the discussions. Some
claim that they are not recognized in
making up the program. The PLAIN
DEALER believes it physical impOs-
sibility to recognize those not present.
Prof Blanche K. Bruce has been
placed on the program and We are
informed was accorded a respectful
hearing and received many very fiat
tering notices for his able effort.
This contention is not entitled to the
respectability of an excuse. We con-
tend that the better class of white
people do not know and appreciate
the talent of the intelligent Negro.
They cannot do so if we "put it under
a bushel." The place for the Negro
school teachers of Kansas is to attend
the State Teachers association, and,
by their presence, manifest desire
to be recognized"

Little Scotch Granite.

Bert. and John Lee were delighted

very bright, and full of fun. He could
tell some curious things about his
home in Scotland and his voyage
across the ocean. He was as far ad-
vanced in his studies as they were,
and, the first day he went to school,
they thought him remarkably good.
He wasted no time in play when he
should have been studying, and he
advanced finely.

The city council will subject the

much as though the citizens and tax,
payers have a sufficient burden al.
ready. There was an increase Of
about one-half per cent. on taxes over

WORK FOR CURTIS.

Some one rema ked the other day
that the organization of so many
Curtis Clubs in this county was
not necessary, that 1T is misdivided
energy. THE PLAINDEALER does not
view the situation in that way
There cannot be toe much organi-
zation of Mr.. Curtis's friends in this
fight. Wherever two or three can
gather together in his name, there
work can be done. There is a great
deal of work in the interest of Mr..
Curtis that we of Shawnee county can
do. This work is in ali parts of the
district. During the pat week we
have been over a portion Of it, and
have received very reliable infor-
nation from other parts. We feel
confident that Mr.. Curtis will go into
the convention with Brown, Jefferson
and Atchison counties just as sure as
s~@~-@D~s@-sA--sgA-~~ :.
he will have Shawnee. But there is
much work yet to be done, although
we were surprised to note, the feeling
of the voters. We would not be
surprised if Mr.. Curtis carried every
county in the district with the ex-
ception of Doniphan and Nemaha,
with the possibility of Leavenworth
being divided between Curtis and
Bailey
We desire it understood that our
support of Mr.. Curtis arises from no
ill-feeling toward Mr.. Bailey. We
share the often expressed regret
heard throughout the district, that
Mr.. Bailey did not keep out of the
First district fight and stand for his
present position as CoDgressman-at-
large. This he would have received
by acclamation. Here is his chance
to make record. The people may
entertain the highest regard for Mr..
Bailey and then not care to displace
tried and trusty servant like Mr..
Curtis.
