tdHOW Is DeCIer imam any butter that
has ever been made, except butter
churned from the cream of buffalo
milk. With the aid of the government
I hope to be able to preserve for pos
terity the finest domestic animal given
to man for this continent. Inside Of
20 years there will be ten full genera
lions of buffalo growing into domes-
tic habits. Their wildness will disap-
pear, and their domesticity will in
crease by heredity with each genera
ton.
II have had considerable experience
in tanning these animals and teaching
them to work in Jokes like steers. It
takes time and perfect patience. But
when they are properly and completely
broken they become accustomed to
restraint, and they exceed in courage
and strength any animal subjected by
man to assist in his burden or labor. I
have a team of seven-year-old bulls,
one Of whom killed keeper who did
not know how to handle him. They
are gentle and work we'll together.
"It was very difficult to teach the
vicious fellows to carry bits in their
mouths. But they do it now all right:
I have hemp rope lines of the best ma
terial attached to heavy forged iron
bits. Formerly had a small windlass
attached to each line, and by turning
the crank I could control the bulls, no
matter how hard they might pull.
Nowadays, however, 1 drive them
without the use of a windlass, with as
much ease and pleasure as though
they were pair of carriage horses.
I'm addition to the superiority of the
buffalo cow over any of the standard
breeds now generally regarded as the
best in the world, her longevity must
be considered. I have seen some OF
them so old that their horns had de-
cayed and dropped off. 1 saw buffalo
cow in a geological garden which was
known to be 81 years old, and I am
sure have seen wild cows 10 or Is
years older. They arc good milk cows
as long as they live. They are very in
telligent. too and there is no domestic
animal that is more affectionate."
The Lacey bill, after carefully de-
scribing the metes and bounds of the
proposed preserve for the American
bison," fixes the status of the contract
in the following words: THE secretary
of the interior is hereby authorized
and directed to lease to Charles J.
Jones, of Topeka. Kan, his heirs and
assigns, the tract of land described in
section one of this act for period of
90 years, free of rental charge. Said
lease shall provide that the said
Charles j. Jones, his heirs and assigns.
shall place upon said tract of land.
within one year from the passage OF
this act. suitable Enclosures for bison,
and no less than 100 full-blooded Amer
lean bison, of sufficient number of
males and females for breeding pur.
poses; that it shall be unlawful to sell,
kill, MAIN or destroy, or otherwise
dispose of or remove from said tract o.
land by the said Charles j. Jones, his
heirs or assigns, or any other person or
persons whomsoever. any female bison
except for sanitary, scientific or hui
name purposes, during the continu-
ance of this lease, unless the increase
should be in excess of one bison to each
500 acres of land in said tract, and ex-
cept the excess of one male to every
20 female bison" SMITH d. ERR.

early days, I used to kill them for
sport. Now I deem it my duty to the
buffalo, and also to mankind on this
continent, TO preserve the American
bison from extinction. Only a few
years ago countless millions of these an
imals roamed over the plains of North
america. They had an absolute title
90, and possession of. many millions of
miles, as the Indians had to their hunt
ing grounds. They were the invincibie
tribes of the plains and prairies. They
would never have been subdued but
for the extension of railroads across
the continent. Their territory had
been well nigh inaccessible, bit rail
roads made transportation cheap, and
immediately there followed demand,
from all over the world, for the beau
tiful, warm, soft robes of the buff
falo.
THE supply had to equal the de-
mand. Millions of buffalo hides an
nually were sent abroad. and other
millions were taken up in our own
country. The slaughter became so
widespread and of such proportions
that humiliation became simply q
question Of brief period of time.

The Lower Heir. Defeated.

The supreme court handed down
A decision last week which settled the

mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in a small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
pear-by towns, each year widening their

rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-

prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
gave out statement showing the con-
dition of the 322 state banks and 81
private banks of Kansas. 1t shows
that the banks had on deposit So. $780,
517.47, an increase of $1,O76, 171.66 over
the call of December 2. The loans
show a decrease of over $62, 900. The
deposits of the banks are larger now
than ever before in the history of the
state. The highest point reached in
deposits previous to this was in April,
1893, when they were SIS, 900, 900. The
loans that year aggregated $23 200, 900.
Now they aggregate $21.579,3 21.72.
This shows that Kansans have more
money to deposit and are borrowing
less to run their business.

a strong current Of air passing in at
the central opening and being discharg-
ed at edge. This current Of air blows
the fertilizer with considerable force In
all directions. scattering 1t with the
greatest over the surface Of
the ground, sowing a strip about 81
feet wide.
Over the bottom of the hopper an
agitating arm rotates slowly, keeping
the material in the hopper thoroughly
stir red, and as the bottom of the hop
per is conical the material always
moves toward the central opening in
bottom. TO regulate the flow, or feed,
this opening is controlled by a conical
shaped valve, or stopper, having a
vertical motion. The conical valve has
a base Just large enough to fill the
opening in bottom Of hopper when 1t Is
raised so it's base is in the opening.
When it is lowered, an annular opening
is left for the fertilizer to pass through,
and this annular opening is greater OF
less according as the valve is lowered
much or little. This valve has also a
rapid rotary motion and two pins
projecting up through the outlet OF
hopper. The rapid rotary motion OF
the valve. with pins attached, makes II
impossible for the outlet Of hopper to
get choked, and the feed Is very uni

CHAPTER TX.

For nearly a week after the home
coming of his beloved daughter John
Folsom was too happy in her presence
to give much thought to other matters.
BY the end of that week, however, the
honest old westerner found anXieties
thickening about him. There were As
hours of undimmed rejoicing. Elinor
was so radiant, so fond, and had grown,
so said the proud father to himself, and
SO said others, so w~ondrously lovely.
His eyes followed her every movement.
He found himself negligent of her gen
tie little friend and guest, Jessie Dean,
to whom he had vowed to be a second
father, and such a friend as she had
been to his Pappoose when, a homesick,
sad-eyed child, she entered upon her
schooldays. Elinor herself had to
chide him, and with contrition and dis
NAV he admitted his fault, and then
for hours nothing could exceed his hos
pitable attentions to Jessie, who, sore
ly disappointed because Marshall was
not there to meet her, was growing
anxious as no tidings came from him.
Two whole days the damsels spent in
going over the new house, eNclaiming
over papa's' lavish preparations, but
wishing presently that Mrs. Fletcher
were not quite SO much in evidence,
here. there, and everywhere. Only
when bedtime came and they coulc
nestle in one or other of their connect
ing rooms were they secure from inter
ruption, and even then it presently ap
peared they could not talk confiden

I them driving each afternoon, he him

some bays, Elinor at his side the frs
time, and Jessie, with Mrs. Fletcher
occupying the rear seat. But this
EInor whispered to him, was not as i
should be. Her guest should have tn
seat of honor. So, next day, Jessie wa
handed to the front and Mrs. Fletche.
and Pappoose were placed IN rear
and in this order they bowled roun'

talked with several of the women an
one or two officers, but these latte
could tell nothing about Lieut.. Deal
except that they had been expecting
him for two days-he having taken tn
long way home, which both Jessie an
Pappoose considered odd under tn
circumstances, though neither said S

NJ. xo,.x Season For 1900.

The Honey Season Fol AoOO'
Commenting upon the not very nat
tering prospect for the honey crop this
season, Gleanings in Bee Culture says
among other things:
"The season in California will be Det-
fer than was at first expected, and es-
pecially is this true for the northern
and central portions of the state.
"Black brood has got such q start IN
certain portions Of New York tnat
many Of tho beekeepers are discour-
aged.
ut would seem that indications Tor
that state (Colorado) are exceptionally
good. As the beekeepers there do not
have to depend upon rains, but on If.
,i%gation, in all probability they VIII
have another heavy honey now, ana i
would say to the beekeepers OF that
state do not be in a hurry to sell your
honey, for if there should be little OF
no honey in the east you OF Colorado
will have things largely your own
xvav."
