tiply and increase and secured eighty
five more bison. These he got near
Manitoba, Canada, and while en- route
from there to his farm in Garden City
he gave exhibitions in all the princi-
pal cities. Buffalo meat at that time
was selling for fifty cents a pound
in Chicago, and Jones thought that by
crossing the bison with native cattle
he would have a fortune in a few
years. But this enterprise proved a
failure and a few years ago he sold
the last of his stock to Austin Corbin.

Jones was a delegate from Kansas
to the National Republican convention
of 1884, held at Chicago, and it was
there that he gained a prominence
which spread from ocean to ocean.

James G. Blaine and upon his arrival
in Chicago had a banner made.
Around the margin were painted pic

corn and other illustrations setting
forth the agricultural possibilities of
Kansas. Within this border, in let

EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE.

A very costly lesson was learned by
hundreds of farmers through the grain
growing sections of the west and north
west this season in the matter of de-
pending upon machines to thrash their
grain from the shock, all save the for
tunate few who were first on the
thrashing circuit being heavy losers
by reason of unfavorable weather,
which badly bleached out the shocks
Of grain and in many instances set
them to growing. There was fine
weather enough Immediately after har-
vest for nearly every man to have safe
ly secured his grain in the stack had it
not been for the shock thrashing craze
which compelled him to go with all
hands and help his fortunate neighbor
at the head of the list do his thrash
ing. The losses sustained would pay
the stacking and thrashing bills for
these men for several years.

INEVITABLE WASTES.

The farm operations of the west,
which include large acreage, limited
help and much machinery, involve in
evitably waste which gives a down
east farmer the cold chills. Where
horse and machine can secure five
bushels 1t will not pay for the man to
stop the team to save the half bushel,
wanton waste as it seems to be. We
have hardly seen meadow this sea-
son where from 200 to 400 pounds tof
hay could not have been raked up.fand
saved after the field was cleared. but
in most cases it would have involved
the loss of ton of hay in the next
field to have taken the time to have
saved it. Some day this will stop.
Land will become so valuable that the
present wastes of the farm will have
to be looked after.

old. She gave 535 pounds of milk in
five days, 1,034 pounds in ten days,
2,012 pounds in twenty-one days and
almost attained an average Of 100
pounds a day for a month. In four
months Jamaica gave almost 10000
pounds of milk and about 10000
pounds during this, her second milking
period. From her milk for a week
231a pounds of butter We're made. The
average of grain fed to the COW during
her greatest yield was twenty-eight
pounds, costing 30 cents, with an abun-
dance of cut beets and good hay, and
she had access to spring water in the
stable yard five or six times a day.
She received no silage, Stops, stimulat-
ing food or drugs. Jamaica was of
medium size for her race, handsomely
marked, vigorous and very stylish, as
shown by her likeness. This was made
about the time of her famous test.
She then weighed 1,192 pounds. Her
owner was offered $4,000 for this COW
and her heifer calf, shown in the pic
tare, before her milk yield reached
100 pounds a day. After her great
performance, this offer was increased
to $25, 900, and $4,000 was refused for
the calf alone.-Dairy and Creamery.

bloom they are very even, an end so
much to be desired This variety is a
very prolific bloomer. 1t is not unusual
for single plant to bear from 80 to 100

most sorts, it bears sunlight for the
entire day remarkably well. Low stu
atoms in the yard are to be avoided.
as it does not bear much water well.
The Lilium speciosum, with its yari-
cites of Lilium opal, pracoX, album and
melpome are grand sorts, succeeding
with average attention. They are not
so well adapted to massing as the last,
but are suited to borders and shady
hooks No lily furnishes us with finer
flowers for cutting than these. The
flowers are frosted white, giving way
to delicate rose and scarlet.
Lilium superbum is Il sort nicely
adapted to the shrubbery and shaded
parts of the yard. 1t is an exceeding
ly tall variety and bears superb flow
erS.
Lilium tenuifolium, bearing rich cor
al red flowers, is favorite. These
bloom early in June or late in May.
Being dwarf in habit and rather slen-
der, they are hardly noticed till they
rear their colored panicles into the air.
Another sort not to be neglected is
Lilium longiAorum. 1t has lasting
properties when in bloom that pecul-
iarly fit it for out of door exposure. 1t
is dwarf in habit, blooms late i'll the
season and bears pure white long trum-

THE PEACH CROP.
| Weather Conditions-Picking, Sort
ing and Marketing.

Weather Conditf0ns-PfcIkfn Sort
ing and Marketing.
The weather at the time Of picking
will have much to do with the size
and quality of the peach crop. An
ideal season is one when the weather
is constantly bright and clear, with
occasional showers. Then the fruit
will develop slowly and perfectly, and
the flavor will be at its best. But a
long storm or few dull, muggy morn
ings will retard the development of the
fruit, seriously affecting it's flavor and
causing decay to begin often before it
can be placed upon the market. Some
varieties will stand this sort Of wealth
er better than others, notably the
Stump. The Stevens Rareripe is the
most seriously affected of all the va
rieties / have grown.
When picking the fruit, would use
ladders for all that cannot be reached
from the ground. With the aid of
suitable ladders and hooks you can
pick more fruit and with greater ease
than by climbing the trees. Besides,
in climbing the trees, especially the
young ones, you hruise the bark on the
upper side of the limbs, causing it to
decay, and in due time the limb will
die or, becoming weak, will break
down and have to be removed.
Each grower must determine the
proper time for picking his fruit, for
y, an ha !, nv
that no general rule can be laid down
If the weather is clear and dry, the
fruit should be left on the trees until
fully ripe. If it is unfayorabl pick il
while you can.
If you have force of men picking
place over them one who will keep
them organized, see that they pick nc
unripe fruit and that no ripe fruit Is
left. 1t will pay you to give the right
man extra wages even if he does moi
pick peach.
Have the fruit taken to the peach
house us soon as picked and put the
sorter to work. Grade carefully. put
ting just as good fruit on the top OF
the basket as below and no better
Three grades will usually be stuff
Gent Fill your baskets rounding full
for conscience sake and place few
twigs upon them for appearance sake
To send your fruit to a commission
dealer and take what he is pleased tc
give you may be the easiest way tc
market it. but it will not necessarily
be the most proftable.-E. B. voor-

AgriculturaI Notes.

Don't pick apples on the hot days
that sometimes come In autumn. Have
all fruit cool when taken in to be
stored.
For cabbage worms that appear late
in the season pyrethrum or saltpeter at
the rate of teaspoonful to gallon of
water can be used with good results.
Grand Rapids is favorite forcing
lettuce.
The American persimmon makes a
handsome tree ornamentally consid-
cred. 1t has dark green leaves that re-
main on late in the fall.
Harvest the turnips. mangels and
cabbage before the winter shuts down.

Mr.. A. E. Hodgett of Hay, Ont, ia
vors the building of cement silos,
which win last as long as man is on
the face of the earth, says the st. Paul
Farmer.
He describes how to build a concrete
siIo IL feet in diameter inside and 80
feet high.
by all means build a silo with six
corners, as you can build lighter wall
than if you were building a square silo.
First dig trench about 20 inches wide
and about 20 inches deep. Fill this up
with concrete and large stone. Pound
the cement well In around the stone.
Then put up your scantling or long
poles flattened on one side. Stake them
firmly at the bottom, three at each cor
ner, two ON the outside and one on the
inside Tack small strips across from
one to the other to keep them in their
places. Go around each corner in this
way; then tack piece of lumber from
corner to corner, and then they are
ready for cutting your plank to fit.
Take a plank, say, nine inches wide,
cut it in two, say long enough to go
from corner to corner. Then lay two
edges together and nail piece across
the back to keep them together. Go
around the silo with these planks, in
side and outside. Make wall of silo IA
inches at bottom and s inches at the
top. Make the batter on the outside.
Make the inside of your silO an inch
smaller at the top than at the bottom
so that it will give the ensilage a
chance to settle without pressing too
much ON the walls of the silo. In set
ting up your uprights at corners make
them six inches wider than you are
going to have your wall, so you can
have your plank and room for an inch
wedge at back. Set up plank. Cut
small piece of board fourteen inches
long. Put between planks. Put in your
inch wedge between planks and up
rights Then take gravel and cement
Zone of cement and five of clean, sharp
gravel, mix well together. Then wet it
enough so it will stay in a ball when
you take and squeeze it In your hand.
Now take it and put it between the
plank. Take an old ak or small stone
hammer and pound well down. at the
same tisne, laying in all the stone that
you can as long as you keep them
back, say two inches from the edges
on either side. After you go around 1t
>nce knock out your wedges, take your
plank back from part of wall first
built and lift up about sixteen inches.
Knock in your wedges again and then
start to fill the next round. Keep lift
Ing your plank as you go around. Il
also build In iron bands around the silo
every four feet Any old buggy tire
win do by cutting them long enough to-
go around"

WHY THEY FAIL.

1t is TO be regretted that so much of
the work and financial resources of the
several county agricultural societies are
almost compelled to be diverted into
schemes for the sensational entertain
ment Of the very people who more than
any others specially need the instruc-
tive education on agricultural lines
which it is the mission of the fair to
supply. The high diving, parachute
dropping, snake eating. Punch and
Judy, merry go round, red lemonade
patronage is catered for, while the real
mission of the fair is obscured by Civ
ing $500 for 2:30 trotting race and So
premium for the best COW or the best
horse In the county. As result of this
unwise policy scores Of county fair as
sociations have either thrown up the
sponge or else are on their last legs.

sIMpLIcITy or LIVING.

When man and woman get married
and go to housekeeping nowadays, it
will mean much for their comfort and
happiness if they will shape their ways
of living along simple lines and if
possible be independent of hired help
in the home. To this end the house
should not be too large every modern
convenience and appliance for making
the homework easy and light should
be utilized, the circle of friends which
one expects to entertain should be linn
tied and the food supply be studied
with reference to its simplicity, ease of
preparation and nutritive value. The
things about modern living which
worry people the worst are artificial
wants, social dictums and a false
pride, which is the worst tyrant on
earth.
