KANSAS cRoP ExPEaIMENT

farmers Always Ready to Make Thorn
Some Good Results.
The advance of Kansas to the first
place among the wheat-producing COM
monwealths again calls attention to
the wonderful productiveness Of that
state. 1t is also calculated to make
one reflect on the remarkable history
of agricultural experiments by the
Kansas farmers. In the early sos
there was high-pressure wheat grow
ing, but it did not reach the volume,
nor even the relative importance, of
the crops OF the last few years. The
crop of 1901 aggregated more than co.
100000 bushels, by far the largest of
any state in the union. This crop is
valued at more than $50, 900 900. Wheat
raising in Kansas has passed through
many experimental stages, as has the
growing of many other agricultural
products. At first it was supposed that
only spring wheat could be produced
with profit in the state. This idea was
dispelled by the demonstrations Of T.
c. Henry, known as the wheat king"
who owned at one time 10000 acres OF
land near Abilene. Henry introduced
raised more than 100000 bushels,
which he sold at about $1.20 per bush
ell. He revolutionized wheat raising in
his state. At present the spring wheat
crop is an inconsiderable item in the
total product. In spite of the fact that
Kansas has led the prairie states in
agricultural development, and has
held the center Of the stage for many
years, there have been times in the
experimental processes when its peo-
pie suffered disparagement for their
foolish and Improbable methods. 1t
used to be said that Kansan would
plant anything; that, he had to be
shown that a thing would not grow
before he would believe his state could
not prod@ce it. For example, there are
said to be $500 varieties of apples,
State reports show that at least 1000
of these have been tried in the Sun
flower state, many of them proving
utter failures, of course, but the best
varieties being established through
this indiscriminate but conclusive
method of demonstration. Two coun-
ties in Kansas produced last year more
than all the New England states and
Jersey, Delaware, Alabama, Arkansas.
Montana and South Carolina combined.

Two Wrong.

A few years ago in one of our rural
towns, I had the pleasure of listening
to lecture on Capital Punishment"
by a local clergyman, said a we'll
known Bnstonian, recently. 1t was at
the close of a noted murder trial
which resulted in the conviction of the
accused and mis- sentence to death. The
reverend gentleman took strong
grounds against the death penalty, ar
guing that while it was wrong for a
man to commit murder it was but an
other wrong to kill the murderer, and
that two wrongs never made a right -
AT least" said he, Il never heard of
but one case where they did" And he
proceeded to relate the following story,
presumably in support of his argu-
ment: "A man entered a country gro
Gerry, where number of the villagers
sat around on barrels and boxes, and
asked if two wrongs ever made a right?
The response was Never So i thought
until recently continued he, when l
met stranger who asked me to
change So bill for him. l did so,
and, after his departure found the bill
was a counterfeit. So | kept it till
Yesterday and showed it on a fellow

claimed that those We're two wrongs
certainly, but they didn't make right.

FAIR, FORTY AND CHARMING.
Zenith of Feminine Powers Now Said
to Be Reached at That Age.

Zenith of Feminine Powers Now Said
to BE Reached at That Age.
1t was Balzac who discovered that
the woman of thirty is more fascinat-
ing than the girl of twenty. Now the
Lady's Pictorial puts the zenith of
feminine charm a decade later, declar-
ing that the apple of discord is due
to the woman of forty. 1t is an in
teresting profession of faith and one
wonders whether the general accept
ance of it by mankind has anything to
do with that increasing tendency to
defer marriage till late in life which
modern philosophers have often no.
ticed and sometimes deplored. If the
woman of forty Is really the most
charming woman it is natural that
bachelors should wish to remain until
they are fit helpmates for her. There
is, however one reflection that should
give them pause. However much more
charming than the girl of twenty the
woman of forty may be, there remains
a strong probability that she will
not keep her charms SO long. That
fact, also, should certainly be borne in
mind by Coelebs in search of a wife.

Seeking Peace.

1t is curious how ST. Pauls, al
though the first cathedral church in
England that was built actually for
the observance of the Anglican ritual,
manages nevertheless to retain some
thing of a foreign and a Catholic ma,
ture in the way it offers shelter to the
tired passer-by. Af,rt from the rest

ways plenty of people there who have

Hurt Great Tenor's Pride.

According to a story that is going
the rounds of the Italian papers, the
tenor, Tamagno, gave large supper
in his sumptuous villa at Varese the
other day, to which he invited all the
local authorities and many of his per-
sonal friends. In the invitation it was
intimated that while waiting the
hour of supper, which is fixed for IL
p. M, there will be music, to begin at

thanking him, adding, however, that

slight to his voice in favor of his sup
per, answered: LAS the supper is only
offered as a reward to those who have

to renounce the supper, and come to
dinner with me tomorrow at noon, as

Women and Music.

Why is it that, while Englishmen have
shown in all ages a genuine love for
music, we have never yet developed a
single great English composer of
music? Without stopping to answer
this question-indeed, | do not know
how to answer it-perhaps it will be
of interest to compare it with similar
question regarding women. -. We all
know with what enthusiastic, ever re-
ligious devotion women have loved
music in all ages, and particularly in
this age; one may almost say music
would have persisted but for the active
sympathy~of women for the art and its
artists; and we all know, further,
what brilliant heights of excellence
nave been attained by women as execu-
tive musicians, both in vocal and in
strumentai kinds; yet no woman has
ever yet composed any great music

from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
Il met three delegates from Kansas
yesterday at Didsbury, and took them
home with me and took them out in
the afternoon and showed them some
of the finest land that lays on top of

than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night; this morn

they went on north. When they come
back they are coming to my place and

The longer we stay here the better we
like the country; that is the way with
everybody here, they all seem to be
satisfied and doing we'll. I have
talked with great many men here
and they told me that they had less
than $50 when they got here, and to-
day they have got 160 acres of good
