r. S. Harris, a young white man
whose career for number of months
kept him prominently in the eye of the
people of Savannah. died in the hospi-
tai at the county farm, where he was
serving a term for cheating and
swindling, shortly before noon yester.
day.
Harris was attacked with congestive
fever Sunday afternoon, but his
condition was not regarded as serious
even then. For some days he had been

was very i'll. and County Physician
John c. Keller was telephoned for at
once. He responded as soon as posi-
BILE but before he could reach the
county farm Harris was dead. He was
buried during the afternoon, in a pau

Harris was formerly a corporal in
the Republican Blues and accompanied
that command on it's trip to the Con-
federate reunion at Louisville. in 1900.
Because of his conduct on that trip,
charges were preferred against him by
Capt. NJ. Ed. Wilson and Harris was

the charges the court found him guilty
Afterwards Harris committed a num-
Der of small offenses, and was arrest

Harris was serving out the third when

Good md Had Fences.

Bad fences have been trouble to
every rural community from the
earliest history to the present day.
Neighborhood rows and feuds and ag-
gravating litigation, and even blood
shed, have resulted from defective
fences. Wooden fences, whether of
rails, poles or boards, are standing
menace to the public peace wherever
they exist, and but little better is a
wire fence that does not effectively
serve its purpose. There are now-a-
days a large number of patterns of
wire fences, readymade, and sold in
rolls ready to be unrolled and nailed
to posts. Some of these are good and
some are better, and some are almost
perfect. A really good wire fence
may cost more TO begin with than a
wooden one, but on account of their
durability alone they are far cheaper,
to say nothing of their tendency to
preserve the public peace and pro-
mote sound sleep on the part of the
owner.-Farm and Ranch.

BETTER THAN CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.

Jetmore, Kan, July 1st.--Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G..
G. Jones, of Burdett, and one of the
most popular ladies in Hodgeman
County, has been martyr to head
nche for years. 1t has made her life
continual misery to her. She suf-
fered pains in the small of the back,
and had every symptom of Kidney
and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is as well as any lady
in the state.
This remarkable change was due
entirely, to remedy recently intro
duced here. 1t is called Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and many people claim 1t to
be an infallible cure for Kidney Dis
eases, rheumatism and Heart
Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose she grew better. In week her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be
universally used, and already the de-
mand for these pills has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars
of Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure
are known.

GROWING THE cow PEA.
II Should lie the Main Reliance OF
the Southern Farmer as u
Soil RcnovatOr.

The cow pea is, or should be, tn.
main reliance of the southern farmer
in enhancing the productiveness of his
land. 1t is also OF great value as IL
forage plant. Before planting peas in
the corn or after small grain, it is \
good plan to plant several acres pr
pillow to be sure of having them, and
TO have place for sowing oats in the
fall. AT this time it is well to plant
mixture of Whippoorwill and I'm
known peas. The former will ripen
first and may be gathered by hand be-
fore cotton opens, The latter will
continue TO grow and to make vine
for the benefit of the next crop. Peas
should be planted over the entire corn
crop. The best time, undoubtedly,
when seasons suit, is at the last plow-
ing of corn, but it is not at all safe
to depend on this, because the ground
may be too dry at that time, or con-
tinued rains may prevent the intend
ed blowing altogether, or storm
may PROSTATE the corn and render
blowing impracticable. They should
also be planted after small grain, and
to this end il is advisable to put in
only a moderate crop of cotton per
pillow, so as to have time for planting
peas. 1t pays well to manure them
with acid phosphate alone. My plan
Is to open with a distributor, putting
down from 1876 to 800 pounds phos-
phate per acre. When thus MANFRED
they will make considerable growth
and good CROP of seeds, even il
stress of circumstances should pre-
vent their being plowed. At best,
very little cultivation is required. The
last furrow should be made with a
wide scrape, leaving the ground fiat,
so that the crop may be harvested
with grain reaper j have tried this
and found it to work well. The reap
err may be managed so as to drop the
peas in large heaps. They can then
be loaded on a wagon or hay rack
and hauled to the barn, or they may
be packed in rail pens if barn space
is lacking. OF course, they should he
covered. When the ground is not too
rough, eight or ten acres can be cut
with reaper in day. Peas and
vines may be put together, or the seed
may be Threshold. c. jackson, in

ABOUT AVERAGE FARMING.
A Big Difference Between Farming
as 1t In Done and as II Should,
or Might be Done.

There is big difference between
farming as 1t is done and farming as
it might be done. Reliable statistics
prove beyond a doubt that farming
generally is not profitable. Nearly all
farmers make living" or rather
manage to exist from the proceeds of
the farm; but to do no better than
this is failure, for people who labor as
persistently as farmers do, should be
better paid. They should make at
least as much clear profit as a car
penter or brick-layer who works eight
hours per day. Reports of the depart
ment of agriculture and of the census
bureau, giving the average yield Of
the various farm crops, show that Nv
erage farming does not pay, and that
large majority of farmers belong
to the average class. Farmers who
contribute to the lowering of the gem
eral average yields are probable farm
ers from necessity, not being able to
make a living at any other business,
for it is fact that farming is the &C.
| cupation in which bare living may
be most surely made. Any man who
has enough native mental ability 20
avoid sitting down on hot stove, can
pillow furrow, plant the seed and kill
| the weeds, and thus make an aver
age" crop, or something near it, and
| thus be enabled to exist from year to
year. AS an illustration of the facts
herein stated, about one hundred and
seventy pounds of lint cotton per acrc
is the average yield of the great sta
pie, and as many farmers make twice
or three times as much, it follows
that majority of farmers make less
than the average. Similar reasoning
will apply to each crop separately and
t., all the products of all the farms
collectively. If average farming is
Improbable farming how about the
great body of farmers who make ev m
less than the ridiculously low aver
age? And yet there ere many farmers
throughout the country who go right
on making profitable crops, and util-
| izing them in way to largely in
crease their value, and they are max
ing their farms pay, and are accumu-
lating wealth, slowly. perhaps, but
surely. No man should be satisfied
with an average yield Of any crop;
and in case OF unavoidable calamity
cutting one crop short, he should have
others from which to make up the
| loss. But no calculations can be based
on accidental contingencies that visit
| the foolish and the wise without dis
| elimination. The farmer who makes
above the average, yields steadily year
after year, is evidently a better farm
err than his neighbor, who makes less
than an average for four years, and
only reaches the average once in five
! years. And il he is better farmer,
ii is because he knows better how 10
farm, and actually puts his knowledge
into practice. The reputation of ag-
riculture as field of human effort
is seriously compromised by her in
competent devotees, while the fact is,
that for normal intelligent men, there
is no occunntion that supplies SO full

American thoroughbreds now in

There is one unanswerable argp

1T is an altogether mistaken idea
: that soil needs rest. Unless 1t is pro-
ducing something it is certain to
deteriorate. Better a crop of weeds
than bare surface exposed to rain

The perpimmOn.

The persmmon is wild fruit pos
sessing much value and worthy the
consideration of every farmer and
fruit grower. 1t sells readily on all
markets, and nets more than the
peach or pear if properly handled.
The tree is native of most of the
southern and eastern states and is
good for timber for various uses. The
market for persimmons is not over
stocked and the people as n whole
seldom have the pleasure of buying
any but the japanese varieties. The
American trees bear from two 10
three bushels each every season.
There is no reason why the fruits
should not sell in the large cities at a
price that will bring the grower at
least five dollars per tree.-Farmers'
