Leavenworth county Orchards.

William Henry owns one of the
largest and finest apple orchards in
Leavenworth county if not in Kansas,
but he told a reporter that he was dis,
gusted with apple raising and would
probably cut his entire orchard down
and farm the ground. Mr.. Henry's
disgust over the apple business is due
to the fact that his entire cror
this spring was ruined by canlzer
worms On an orchard of eighty
acres there is not enough fruit to pay
for the expenses of the harvest. Tho
prospect was excellent early in the
season but the canl1er worms in droves
of millions came along and stripped
the trees of their foliage, causing the
little apples to drop off. Mr.. Henry
says that nothing can be done to rid
an orchard of canker worms, and there
fore he thinks it folly to attempt to
raise another crop.

You may not this season be able to
build new one, or make the radical
changes in the old one that you had
in contemplation, but there is no school
district in the United States that can
not afford to tint with Alabastine the
interior Of their buildings. thus max
ing them more attractive, getting col
Ors made with special reference to
their effects on the eyes of the pupils,
getting a sanitary and rock base ce-
ment coating that will not harbor dis

The closely crowded school rooms
need all the safeguards to the health
of the pupil that intelligent officials
can surround them with. and all saRi-

Western farmers have been working
for years to exterminate the Canada
thistle. State aid has been sought and
laws passed ou,la wing the alleged vile
product, and writer's have voluminous-
ly denounced it as the agricultural
curse Of the age. Recently Colorado
farmer harvested twenty acres Of the
thistle, made hay Of it and is feeding it
to his cattle with excellent results.
Recently Secretary Coburn of the Kan
sas board Of agriculture gave the eX-
perience OF eighteen farmers who value
their thistle hay highly, some claiming
that it is equal to alfalfa. Professor
Bailey of the Kansas university has
analysed the plant and finds it espe-
cially rich in protein. There are other
weeds which may redeem their charac-
tiers when better known. The writer
of this once used an acre of careless
weeds, cutting and feeding to twenty
young hogs, and even the hogs grew
like careless weeds. The almost indie
structible purslane is also an excellent
green food for both fowls and animals.

Weeks was Informed by reporter

of General Molineux's statement.
General MolineuX is right" he said.
Il quite agree with him. The evidence
we have gathered and for which Gen
eral MolineuX is in large measure
personally responsible will conclusive
ly show the absolute innocence of Ro-
land MolineuX of any connection with
the death of Mrs. Adams.
II cannot discuss this evidence, but
| can say that it will be startling.
realize that similar statements have
been made by counsel for men accused
of capital crime. But | am not eXag
gerating. The evidence we have Sc
cured will produce bona tide sensa
ton.
I'VE expect to go to trial on the first
Monday in October. l do not know
who the presiding justice will be. The
trial will probably last two or three
months. General MolineuX's estimate
of thirteen weeks is perhaps about
right.
Il am delighted to hear, the first
thing on my arrival home, that Gen
eral Molineux is in such good health
and feeling so cheerful"

predicts that he will be acquitted at
