NECESSITIES OF REFORM IN STATE
SALARIES,

This necessity for reform in the way
state officials get their pay grows out ol
the fact that the people have refused 10
adopt any amend ments on this subject
that have been proposed by the leglsla-
ture.
To let matters stand as they are un'
iii a new constitution can be adopted is
a longtime uncertainty. The people
might vote down any new constitution
proposed.
To wait until the initiative and refer
endum are in operation would be anoth'
er illogical uncertainty, that those who
profit by the present system would be
only too glad to accept as compromise.
The only way TO lay the right iounda-
ton for an orderly state government is
TO put each official on a stated salary,
fixed and made absolutely certain by
law, and put all fees and earnings OF
each office in the treasury.
The only way to accomplish this re-
form is for the Republican party and
Democratic party both to declare that
state officers be put on fiat salary and
make their nominees agree to serve for
the salary.
Primarily this duty falls on the Re-
publican party, because it is the major
ity party, has been responsible for the
state government, and has in its plat
forms and in the legislature declared foi
this reform,
This is not a personal fight against
any official bat a demand for a change
from a very bad and expensive system
TO common-sense and businesslik'
system,

cow PEAS AMONG CORN.
A satisfactory Experiment In Plant
Ing Cow Peas In the Field
with Corn.

One of the experiments / decided
to make last year was the planting
of cow-peas between the hills in the
corn rows. Last spring my corn was
planted late in May When it was up
and cultivated once over | planted
one acre to cow-peas, putting the
seed in half way between the hills
with a hand corn-planter. The soil
was in good condition, so the job was
easy and quickly done. The variety
planted was the black, an early, mod
erately dwarf sort. The plants soon
appeared, but did not in the least in
terfere with the subsequent cultiva-
tons of the corn. The drought set
in, followed by the burning hot winds
of July, and the corn made less than
half crop. The peas grew slowly
all summer, and when the corn was
cut, the last days of August, they
were ten to fifteen inches in height
and fairly well supplied with seed
pods. September IL | drew in the fod-
der and tethered milk-cow on the
peas. September 20 sharp frost
killed all that remained, but | kept
the COW on them and she took off
every pod Before | tethered her on
the peas she had been steadily failing
in yield of milk, but from The first
meal the yield increased until frost
nipped the peas, when the yield Icgan
to decrease again.
The experiment this season showed
that the peas can be put in quite rap
idly with a hand corn-planter; that
they do not interfere with the eultiva-
ton of the corn, and that they will do
fairly well in the rows. If the corn he
an early maturing variety and is
drawn off the land as cut, or soon af
terward, the peas will give large
quantity of most excellent pasturage
at a season when green food is apt
to be quite scarce. In case drought
cuts the corn short, as it did this sea-
son, the peas will still make fair
quantity of, pasturage. Should chinch-
bugs destroy the corn the peas Will
quickly cover the ground and make a
large quantity of excellent hay or
pasturage and at the same time inn
prove the soil. If there are indications
that chinch-bugs are going to be
abundant / think it would be good
idea to plant cow-peas in all the corn
adjoining wheat or oats. A strip fifty
to one hundred rows wide would COW
err most that would likely be lam
aged by the bugs.-Cor Farm and
Fireside.

HERE AND THERE.

knowledge is not worth ten cents
bushel when it is not put to a
good use. Many farmers know better
than they do.
Those who have the nerve to feed
good cattle and properly finish them
this fall and winter will surely find
it profitable.
If people were bound to silence
upon all subjects of which they are
ignorant, what sudden and all pre-
vailing hush there would be at times!
"A soft voice and carressing
touch will induce well-bred COW to
give up the last drop of milk in her
udder, because it gives her real pleas
ure to do so.
The man who is TO succeed as a
farmer must not only be Industrious,
but, to use an expression of one who
knows, he must have ian almost ig-
nominous love of details"
Filth can not be strained out of
milk. The only remedy for filthy
milk is to throw it away, if it is too
bad for the pigs. Pigs will of eat
milk that is too bad for human food.
1t is far easier to grow fruit than
to market the crop at a profit. In
this, as in everything else that men
do, the main thing is to know how.
The markets must be studied in order
to know just what buyers want, and
how they want it.
1t is profitable to raise hogs in
conjunction with the dairy; provided,
nevertheless, that the conjunction is
not too contiguous. A hog pen, OF
hogs, without the pen, in or about
the dairy barn, will spoil the best
milk that can be drawn.
Kansas is rapidly increasing her
area Of alfalfa. The manner in which
it stood the drought of the past sum

SOMETHING ABOUT CARROTS,

A strip is prepared from carrots.
Carrot is easy of digestion, and

Boiled carrot is used as poultice for

In the reign Of Charles |. ladies wore
carrot leaves as an ornament instead
of feathers; and the beauty of the
leaves is still acknowledged by placing
a root, or the upper portion of one, in

leaves to adorn apartments in winter.
