Wheat and Alfalfa.

During a trip to Kansas City last
Saturday it was observed that along
the Santa Fe the acreage of wheat
now growing is the largest ever seen
in this section of the State. The
stand is perfect in all fields, which
have been sown long enough for the
plant to come up. The stage of
growth varies from just coming
through the soil to covering the
ground One drill was evidently
planting wheat. Conditions for seed
ing and early growth could not have
been more favorable.
Kansas is credited with having
produced 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat at the last harvest. Accurate
estimates of the acreage for the next
crop are at this time impossible. but
there will be good deal of dissap-
pointment if the next harvest shall
not considerably exceed the last.
A scene of animal contentment,
bordering on happiness, was seen in
an alfalfa field between Topeka and
Lawrence. The wet grass was about
half knee high to the fat cattle, which
were leisnrely taking their breakfast.
Bloat? There were no signs of it and
doubtless the thrifty owner of these
high-grades had taken the necessary
precautions to prevent it. While the
green wheat fields are beautiful, the
green alfalfa fields are equally attrac-
tive, and when one figures on the cash
growing in an alfalfa field and com
pares it with the the best figures he
can make for the wheat, the advant-
age is strongly in favor of the alfalfa.
Again, land grows poorer year by
year when cropped with wheat, while
the field which produces alfalfa is
richer for every crop grown upon it.
Wheat and alfalfa go we'll together in
rotation. Alfalfa captures from the
air or brings from below the elements
of fertility of which the soil is ex-
hausted by wheat. Wheat and alfal
ia, being interpreted, mean bread and
meat, and these are things which
mankind must have, however much
must be paid for them.
just how to certainly secure stand
of alfalfa without the loss Of crop
season, farmers will be less reluctant
to rotate their crops by blowing up
alfalfa. Then will be realized the
great value of alfalfa as n remover
and fertilizer of the soil.-Kansas
Farmer.

The Right Sort of Charity.

One of the finest manifestations of
enlightened progress in the new cen
fury is the increase of the practical
humanities. For many years the
world has been dabbling in spasmo dic
charities and trying to soothe its CON
science by doing occasionally and
badly what it should be doing system
atically and well. There has been
hazy idea that free excursions in
summer and free soup in winter
ought to regenerate any young victim
of an environment of poverty and
start him on a career of virtue with
feeling of undyiDg gratitude to his
benefactors. He Is expected to keep
cool and happy all summer on a
plate of ice cream and piece of pie,
and later IN the year he was stuffed
with turkey at Thanksgiving or at
Christmas, receiving from the strange
but joyful luxuries little that was
more lasting than a night mare. It
it does not go far enough to keep the
youngster from being as hungry as
ever in twenty four hours.
In the new philanthropy there is
netting more than an occasional
opportunity for free gormandizing.
The fact is recognized that if the boy
is to be made O useful citizen he must
have the attention that will not only
get out of him the evils of his I'M
fortunate life. but will drill into him
the advantage and stimulus of char
acter and ambition. A third of a
century ago an American millionaire
left fortune for home for poor
boys, and the enterprise was planned
on broad and high lines. The idea
was to admit only promising, healthy
youths to whom the opportunities OF
life were practically closed by poverty
or parental misfortunes- For teachers
no dried-up supernumeraries were
selected, but to all departments active,
wide-awake and enthusiastic scholars
were appointed. The boys were
housed under the best sanitary condi-
tions; they were fed on wholesom,
food; they were given practical worl
in the open air, and they were mad,

Wouldn't Be Bluned.

Near Kingman the United States
geodetic survey has erected a tower
more than 100 feet high, ending at
the top with a narrow platform about
thirty inches wide. 'sThe other day.
slys the Courier, fswhen the wind
was blowing about sixty miles an
hour, a party of boys went out there
and bantered each other to climb to
the top of the tower and stand on the
platform in the high wind. Two or
three of them tried it and failed, be
ing unable to hang on, or rather were
afraid to try it and after going part
of the way up would carefully climb
down Finally one boy with more
nerve than the others, managed to
get to the top from whence he look
ed down on the others and twitted
them for being timid. This so
angered one of the boys that
he said he would go to the
top or break his bones trying
to, and told the one on top to come
down that he might show him. which
he accordingly did and the boy
slowly climbed to the top. When he
reached the top he climbed on to the
platform and very coolly stood on his
head with his feet dangling in the
air on platform so narrow that he
held to the edges of it to steady him
self.

of the matter before the Berlin medi-

clinicians and investigators partici-

cause it contained an insufficient

Good Times for Western Farmers.

Good Times for Western Farmers.
Their wheat crop is worth more
than last years by $50 millions of
dollars.
Other grains represent as large
total value this year as last, the
shortage in yield of corn being made
APP by advance in price.
Potatoes are So high that the short
crop will probably return more money
TO the farmer than ever before.
Live stock represents value of
nearly $50 millions of dollars over
last year.
Apples and other fruits are extra
ordinarily high.
The farm products of the United
States this year arc doubtless worth
400 million dollars more than last
years outturn.
The cereals (wheat, corn, oats, rye,
and barley) raised in the United
States during the past five years re-
present a value to the farmer of G, $50
millions of dollars, an Increase of
nearly 900 millions over the pre-
ceding five years.
Cotton growers have netted 400
million dollars more for the past five
crops 1901 crop estimated) than for
the previous five.
Taking 1896 as a fair basis of
values during the late agricultural
depression, nine staple crops for this
year represent an increase in value of
over 700 millions of dollars. Live
stock is worth 1000 millions more
now than then.
During the past five years, agri-
cultural exports have been 93S
millions of dollars greater in value
than the preceding five years, a gain
of 30 per cent, while exports of man
nfaotures have almost doubled in
value. The excess of exports over
imports is nearly threefold that of
1892 96. Whereas in the former
period the United States lost 22o
million of dollars in gold. during the
past five years it gained 1872 millions,
or a net addition to the nations gold
supply of 412 millions. The total
stock of gold in the United States
now Q,125 millions) is double what
it was five years ago, and the per
capita circulation of money (S2S) is
33 per cent greater now than then.
