KaRr Corn.


Whether or not it will pay a man to
plant Kafir corn will depend on the
state, and locality in state; in which
he resides. 1t must be remembered
that Kafir corn is blessing to farm
ers who reside in states with dimin-
ished rainfall or in localities in states
where rainfall comes at the wrong
time of the year to greatly benefit
the growing crops. In states where
Indian corn can be grown to perfec-
ton it will not generally pay to grow
kafir corn. We give this word Of eau
ton at this time, because there is a
tendency to judge plant by its value
in some one locality. For Kansas, Ne
braska. and wherever the Indian corn
crop is cut short by drouth, Kafir corn
should be extensively grown. 1t will
stand droush better than Indian corn,
and its leaves will remain succulent
for a long time after the leaves of In
dian corn have become dry and about
worthless. But even with Kafir corn
early planting is best on account of
the added amount of moisture it gets
from the spring rains. Once estab-
ished. it sends down its roots into
the moist earth below and can stand
the ordinary drouth of our western
summer.

The better price Is secured because of

mer az it is in the late months of

This will prevent that falling OF In

taken to prevent 1t. When the lamb

NEW YORK, Harch 1.-THE price OF ice
for the coming summer will be raised ap-
preciably, according to a statement made
by an official OF the American Ice Company.
otherwise the Ice Trust
The American Ice Company has absorbed
its only important rival and now is in alb
solute control Of the market from Maine
to Texas
Following this move comes the an
Trust-although they deny that the trust
is responsible for it-that the price Of ice
will lie much higher next season than II
was last. They decline to state how great
Will be the raise. but they admit that It
will be considerable.
An official Of the American lee CompaDv
yesterday corroborated the teIegraphic ad-
vices Of the day before to the effect that
the knickerbOcker Ice Company of Maine
had been purchased by the trust The
price paid for the Knlckerbocker was S1O.-
OO0,OC0. II was the chief competitor OF the
American Ice Company in all Eastern mar
kets except New York city. and was the
most important concern outside OF the
combination.
The American Ice Company was incor-
porated In Maine last summer with a cap

OF the first acts Of the American Company
WAS TO gain control Of the stock uf the

cern Of this city. which had prior 20 that
time absorbed the old Knickerbocker and
many other smaller companies. The Ice
Trust al once began war on small indepen-
dent dealers by selling below cost and
forced many Of them out OF business.
An official OF the trust said yesterday.
We have bought in the Knickerbockar
ard il is a valuable acquisition The re-
ported price Of SO. eco Geo Is correct.
You can state positively that the price
OF ice will be higher next summer. This
IS not because the AmCriC2u has nov a

Where n Circus Manager Abused a.
Honest Farmer.
(Fron Tit Bits)

One evening when a travelling circus
was on its way 20 a large town the pro-
prietor resolved to make a halt sor few
hours at a village some two or three miles
from the town. So an agent was sent on
in advance to the village to secure a IA
vorable field for the rest by the wayside.
Noticing a large and suitable field he
sought out the owner and told him he
would like to turn something out in the
field for an hour or SO before going on to
the town. and concluded by asking how
much he required for thc use OF the field.
Well" said the farm er. i suppose half
a crown won't hurt you
That" was the ready reply. will dc
very we'll. But perhaps you don't mind
taking a crown" an offer the somewhat
astonished yeoman was only too glad to
accept.
Fancy his surprise when a few hours
afterward a herd Of elephants. a dozen
dromedaTies, and about POO horses and
ponies had not only been turned out into
the field, but were fairly wiping the herb
age out OF existence
That the farmer was furious goes with
out saying, but the circus proprietor point
ed out that he had received twice as much
as he had asked for something to be turned
out for an hour or two.
But roared the farmer. more irate
than ever, do you think bargained for
