Western Kansas heifers topped the
Chicago market in February with a
margin of 35 cents per hundred over
them competitors. They were sold
by Evans Bros, of Finney county,
and had been full fed on cCrn meal
and alfalfa. This illustrates the fact
that western Kansas has great posi-
bilities for the production of the fin
est kind of meat. Alfalfa can be
grown there in great abundance, and
surplus alfalfa can be readily sold and
thus exchanged for corn. Wind-pOw-
er is seldom lacking, and the corn can
be readily ground to meal as needed
The climate is very favorable for the
production of excellent meats, either
beef, pork or mutton. Barley is east
lv grown, and with alfalfa makes an
excellent fattening ration. The trans
forming of western Kansas from an
open plain to IL protita BILE location for
the production of meats and dairy
products is no longer theory. New
grains, new grasses, and the industry
and perseverance, of the people will
soon cover that section of the state
with beautiful and prosperous farms.

That's what ticket agent at the
Burlington Station, Omaha, ran
against last Friday night, and similar
expressions he is running against
every day.
1t all comes about from the fact
that the Burlington on it's Kansas
City night train runs a fourteen
section sleeping car, because more
room is needed than given by twelve
section car. But section Is is practi-
cally dead haul, for no one can be
bribed to sleep in it.
Night after night the Burlington
agent has commenced by offering No.
13, but prospective customers have
edged off and asked il there wasn't
something else. Thus it has gone till
the lower berths were filled, all save
ID, and then preferences have been for
upper berths in preference to lower 13,
as with the man who feared No. Is

KAFIR-cORN.

Experiments made at the Kansas
Experiment Station show that it will
pay many readers of this paper to
raise Kafir-corn who are not raising
il now. The average yield OF grain
on the College farm for the past
eleven years has been sufficient to
produce an average per year from an
acre 487 pounds of pork from Kaffir-
corn or 410-pounds of pork from corn.
The College farm is upland.
For eleven years kafir-cOrn has
yielded on the Collefe farm sufficient
grain to produce per year 4S pound
more beef per acre than corn.
Katir-corn is a good grain for horses
doing heavy farm work.
Katir-corn grain and alfalfa hay
made the cheapest combination of
feed for milk production. With these
feeds, the College produced from a
scrub herd, butter fat at cost of ten
cents per pound for feed and at cost
of seven cents from the best scrub
COW.
Kafir-corn is the ideal grain to feed
calves raised on sKim-milk. The
meal is constipat1ng and overcomes
the tendency of the skim-milk to pro-
duce scours. College calves fed Kaffir-
corn grain and skim-milk gained
nearly two pounds a day for six
months.
Bulletin No. 90 of the Kansas EX-
pertinent Station, Manhattan. Kan,
gives the result of eleven years Ex-
perimentS in raising and feeding Kafir-
corn. 1t will be sent free to any citi-
zen of Kansas who writes for it.

Chilly" Morgan of the Hutchinson
News: There is something new at
Garden City, clipping plant" /
had heard of it but had no idea what
it was. In company with the dele
gates and visitors to the convention
went to see this new process of max
ing better cattle. 1t is easy when
you know how. The cattle are driven
from the stock yards into a chute like
one used in loading stock onto cars.
But the cattle that go into 1t, in
stead of coming out into stock cars,
slide into a big tank ten feet deep,
thirty feet long and filled with a fluid
that smells like pile of decayed ap-
Piles or Populist platform of few
years ago. There is enough of a fall
into the tank to send Mr.. Steer and
his sister, as the case may be, COM
pletely under the surface, and then he
or she has to swim thirty feet to the
other side. The cattle emerge from
their bath fragrant with carbolic
acid but cured of the itch and mango
and free from ticks and parasites.
The claim Is made and backed by ex-
pertinent and experience that the
cattle thus dipped and made clean
grow fat faster and are improved in
health and appearance so that they
are greatly increased in value. 1t
looks to me like mighty good thing
for cattle and wouldn't hurt some
people.-LaCrosse Republican.

Patents on inventions are sometimes
objected to as tending to create monop-
olies. but there can he little doubt that
the American patent system has had Il
remarkable influence in stimulating the
inventive faculty of the people and in
giving the nation its present suprem-
acy in the industrial world. A writer
in CaSsier's Magazine brings together
some interesting statistics on this sub
ject He shows that our inventions and
our manufactures have increased on
parallel lines, and that labor and cap
ital have alike shared in the vast
wealth produced by improved ma
chinery. In the third decade of the
present century American manufac-
tured products amounted to only $780,
100000 year, and in 1896 less than
10000 patents had been issued. In
1870 the manufactures had increased to
,O15,0O0,000, and from 1886 to 1880
41,S}3 patents were issued. In every
decade since then American manufac-
lures have nearly doubled, until in
1890 they represented about $9.25O, 900
coo. while the total number of patents
issued since 1876 had Increased TO 4lS.-
GG5. The nation is now able TO export
II large proportion of its manufactures.
thus annually increasing the total
wealth of the people by many millions
of dollars. During 1899 the exports Of
manufactures amounted to $3.50, 1877. :
S9l, while In the fiscal year of 1900. the
total of manufactured exports exceeds
Sl00,000,000, which Is one-ffth of the
grand total of all our exports and i'm.
ports combined. 1t is not strange that
Europe Is becoming alarmed over the
American invasion of its markets. The
fun Significance of the Improvement i'm
machinery for the individual American
Is seen in the fact that between 1S36
ana 1890 the hours of labor were re.
duccd 2a rcr cent. the product per
hand had increased 80 per cent, and
the wages had Increased 4S per cent.
ur. II measured by the purchasing
power of the dollar, Is per cent. What
Is II that enables the operative, In three
fourthS of the time, To produce one and
n half times as much aS the workman
Of forty years ago. Simply the use OF
new inventions embodied I'm improved
tools and machines. Ten years ago our
imports of manufactures were double
the exports; now the exports are double
the imports, All that the nation needs
to continue It's career Of increasing
wealth Is the possession of foreign mar
kets for Its surplus manufactures.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1900-09-28

Seldom has the world seen more
eventful period than that in which we
now live. The creation of the empire
OF Germany, the kingdom of Italy and
the republic of France is easily remem-
bered by persons of early middle age.
Within the past fifteen years Africa has
been parceled out among the principal
European countries. AS result Of
the war in the Orange Free State and
the Transvaal, practically the whole Of
South Africa will become British terri
tory. The war in China may result in
the threatened division of that
vast empire among half dozen of the
nations of Europe, and the disappear
ance of the Chinese flag from the
worlds seas. Al the beginning of 1898
Spain still held fragment of that do
main on which, in the days of Charles
v and Philip H., the sun never set. BY
the end of that year Spain's flag had
vanished from the New World which
her navigatOrs discovered, and on
which she had a foothold for century
before any of her rivals, England,
France, or Holland, started permanent
settlements on this side of the Allan
tic. She lost, too the magnificent
group of Islands given to her by Ma
gellan. and named for the great Philip.
Virtually the Spain of 1900 has shrunk
to the dimensions of the Spain of the
earlier days of Ferdinand and Isabella
before Columbus started on his voyage
of discovery. But the most striking
event of an age of startling happenings
may be impending in Asia. The Oldest
of the great nations now in the alliance
of powers were creations of yesterday
compared with the country with which
they are coming in conflict. If Chinese
chronology is reliable, China was the
home of civilization centuries old be-
fore Romulus got his first glimpse of
the Tiber, or Paris of Troy abducted
Helen. Many years of China's first
cycle had expired anterior to the days
of Rameses III. and before the birth of
the Pharaoh of the Exodus. The worlds
oldest and newest are in conflict in the
Oldest of the worlds continents. Per-
haps this age Is now witnessing the
closing scenes of a drama which open
ed in the worlds early morning twi-
light.

to secure firm footing in EngflNh So
ciety. He bought the Pail Mall Gazette
and Pail Mall Budget, and started the
Pail Mall Magazine, all ultra-Tory, and
catering to the smart set. He bought
from the Duke of Westminster, the
richest man in England, the handsom-
est seat on the Thames-Cliveden.T Then
Mr.. Astor built high wall around the
park, stationed guards, and warned the
public to keep off of his grounds. Such
a thing is not usual with English coun-
try gentlemen and everybody bristled
with Indignation at the American snob,
as they called him. Gradually Mr..
Astor has become the "bete noir" Of
pretty nearly all classes of Englishmen.
He is 10000 miles from a peerage, and
probably now fully as far from royal
drawing-room. His conspicuous use
to-day is as warning to Americans
who will not keep in touch with their
countrymen.
