In every appointment, are the rule;

farmers sons form goodly part of the

farmer to come to town and buy two

TO place an order for an automobile
Mr.. ID. w. Blaine, rich farmer of
Pratt County, superintends all his har-
vesting in an automobile. Many 9TH
ers are equally plutocratic.
One of the richest farmers in the Kan
sas wheat belt is John T. Stewart, who
came to the State five years ago. He
borrowed $50 from a friend, rented a
quarter section of land in Sumner
County and began work To-day he is
worth 100000, and his income from
wheat in 1901 was $G4 900. He is known
as the wheat king of Kansas. There
are twenty-three millionaires in Kan
sas, fifteen Of whom are farmers living
on farms and running them as an in
vestment. Perhaps they have not all
of their fortune invested in land, hut 9
goodly portion of it is. Solomon Bes
ley, of Wellington, placed $4,000 II
wheat land last year and realized 81
per cent on his investment or ten times
as much as he receives from money
loaned in Illinois.-Ainslee's Magazine

A Catch i'm the Back.

Grand View, Iowa, Sept. 29th.-Nrs.
Lydia Parker of this place, says:
81 was troubled with backache all the
time for years. When l would stoop
over a catch would take me in the back
and could not straighten up for some
time.
IL tried everything | could think of
but got no relief till l sent and got
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Il used one box and part of another
before the trouble all left me, but now
| am well and strong and | have not
been troubled with my back for some
months.
81 believe my cure is permanent one
and am very grateful indeed to Dodd's
Kidney Pills for what they have done
for me.
II would most heartily recommend
them to anyone suffering with lame
back, for | believe they will cure any
case of this kind"

In Favor of Sheen,

1t is sometimes asserted that cattle
and sheep require the same amount
of feed per 1000 pounds of live weight,
according to Prof. Curtiss. This state
ment seems not to be well founded,
In some experiments at the Iowa sta
ton the cattle consumed 1915 pounds
OF dry matter per 1000 pounds Of live
weight against an average of 297 by
the sheep. Both cattle and sheep were
on full feed. The sheep made daily
gain of 1913 pounds per 1000 pounds
of live weight and the cattle pa. In
summing up this comparison we find
that while the sheep ate 48 per cent
more than the cattle they gained near.
ly 70 per cent more.

How TO Roll Barbed Wire.

The illustration shows n homemade
device for rolling barbed wire which
will work well and enable one to han
die the wire without trouble. Use any
sort OF small barrel and nail the
ends in tight and see that all hoops
are securely fastened on. On the cen
ter of each end or head nail a block Of
wood thick enough to be above the
level of the edges of chimes. Through
this bore a hole into the barrel. Make
handles of material an inch thick, two
inches wide and five feet long. Take
an iron rod pass it through the ends

Brief Hints.

Carry.a lighted match with the light
ed end from you to keep it from going
out.
To set the dye in cotton stockings
put good handful Of common salt in
the washing water.
Iron the silk fronts Of embroidered
stockings with warm iron to make
them bright and shiny. !
To polish fretwork first rub it over
with sandstone, then dip cloth in lin
seed oil and rub the wood well with it.
When ripping up the seams of an
old skirt If the ripping is started from
the bottom the goods are much less
likely to tear at the edges.
A little pipeclay dissolved in the
water employed in washing clothes will
vastly improve their color and will
prove a great saving Of time, trouble
and soap.
Keep all hooks and eyes and buttons
firmly sewed on, thus avoiding the
temptation to use pins and saving the
wear on your skirt bands. Nothing
wears and tears out bands so quickly
as pinning.
An admirable idea for eramped bed
rooms is to have a long mirror set in
the closet door; extra hooks on the 9TH
or side and a skirt hanger OF so never
come amiss, and bag below them for
boots and slippers is very desirable.
To clean wood tables and shelves use
his mixture: Half a pound each of soft
soap and sand and a quarter of
pound OF lime. Mix and apply with a
Scrubbing brush Rinse with plenty
IF clean water and when dry the wood
will be spotlessly white.
The cleaning Of windows may be
greatly facilitated by first busting them
with whiting. Sew up some whiting
n small linen bag and rub the whole
window and lodges, Rub this off with
'ough cloth and polish with chamois.
Another plan is to rub the glass with
channels, dampened with whiting, and
polish with soft cloths.

Topdressing Winter Wheat.

In some sections Of the country it Is
practice to top dress the wheat in the
fall, and this regardless of the guam
tity of fertilizer applied to the field
before seeding, This is an excellent
plan and should be more generally prac-
ticed. The idea is to apply this top
dressing Immediately after seeding, us
ing manure spreader arranged so that
the manure will be scattered evenly
but quite thin. During the winter the
strength Of the manure is washed down
TO the roots Of the plants while the
coarser portion acts as a mulch

Growing animals need bulky food to
keep the stomach distended2 Whey
feeding illustrates the point to an ex-
IRENE. One hundred pounds contain
only about seven pounds of solids. The
animal therefore must drink and void

seven pounds dry matter. While not
