Officers of Rebellion Will Meet
Tonight.

There will be a meeting of the Kansas
commandery of the Military Order of
the Loyal Legion at the Elks' club
rooms this evening. A business session
will be held and al the close of that a
banquet will be given AT the business
meeting there is likely to be a contest
regarding the class of members who
shall be allowed to hold office. The or
ganlZatiOn is composed of officers of the
war of the rebellion and their sons; and
the membership is divided into first and
second classes. the sons of the soldiers
being in the second class 1t has been
understood by some that only first class
members could hold office, but Lieut..
Col. J. T. Dickman of Fort Le3Ven-
worth has been recorder of the Kansas
commandery for some time, and the 10
cal membership is in favor of retaining
him. By some it is believed, however,
that he should not be allowed to con-
tinue in that position, and it is upon
this point that the interest in tonight's
meeting depends.

Farm Notes.

If the animals are allowed to run
down III flesh it will be loss to the
farmer, as he is then compelled to re.
store them to their original condition
before he makes Il gain. At the same
time there is Il waste of as many days
as the animals are below their normal
condition, which is lost time that can
never be regained.
Select some plot of ground, or part of
n field. for experimental purposes. Fix
your plan, and end the year with some
positive information that you have
CLEANED from your years labor. Unless
it is well planned at the start, and data
fully kept, it ends only in opinions that
are largely guesses, and little more is
known than at first.

Farm Managers Wanted.

We doubt ii there is greater demand
in any business than exists among peo-
pie owning large farms or having large
holdings Of real estate which they de-
sire to have managed in a progressive
and up-tO-date manner. We do not re.
fer to extensive areas, where a manager
would only have to direct the work, but
to farms where the manager has not
only the oversight, including the hiring
Of other help and selling the products,
but also is expected to go into the field
and lead in the various kinds of work
carried on there. In fact, he must do
as thousands of successful farmers are
doing to-day upon their own farms in

ing the various emergencies that are
liable to arise in the growing Of crops
and feeding stock and being prepared
to meet them.-MiEror and Farmer.

Weeds in Grass Land.

1t would astonish many farmers to
make an investigation Of the number
Of weed plants that are to be found
in grass lands, and even in meadows
that are supposed to be in a high state
Of cultivation. They are more conspic-
uous in the pastures, because our most
common weeds will grow on land
where the cultivated grass makes but
little growth. The daisy, the rag weed,
mints ard others are often to be found
by the hundred on Il single square foot
in the pasture, while in spots the this
tie, milkweed and orange hawkweed
have taken almost complete possession.
But there are many in the richly ma
nurcd moving, where the grasses grow
so much faster and ranker as to hide
them until the hay is taken off. Too
close pasturing is in some cases respon-
sible for these weeds. Some of these
larger perennials must be dug out, root
and all, before they can make seed, or
cut down SO often that they will per-
ish because Of lack of leaf growth.
In some cases plowing manuring and
reseeding with clean seeds seems to be
the only remedy, and 1t is not always
easy to get grass seed free from the
seeds of weeds, and course Of three
years in cultivation, killing every weed
in the field or around it's borders, may
be the only way to reduce their num-
ber.-New England Homestead.

Feeding Grain to Cows.

Feeding grain to cows on grass is con-
sidered a good practice because Of the
fact that it makes the animals much
more quiet when they are accustomed

milking time. The feeding Of four
quarts of cornmeal and bran twice a
day to each animal is considered by one
writer Of long experience to be essential
If cows are to be kept at a good profit
1t Is claimed by one writer that the
feeding Of grain to cows while on grass
improves the quality Of the milk. In
no case is it advisable to allow cows to
run down in flesh, and to prevent this
invariably necessitates the feeding Of
some form of grain during the summer
months. Such practice proves great
saving Of the pasture.-Iowa Home.
