coBURNs ADVICE TO KANSAS FARMERS.

Much Of fSe advice given farmers by Office holders
and other politicians perfunctory and otherwise Of
little no value is nine times out Of ten simply
bumphous and without a moity Of practicability But
Secretary Coburn Of the State Agricultural Society who
has not Only been practical farmer. but successful
Kansas farmer is out in some advice to farmers which
all Of them should digest ana in acting upon
which there Will be little chance Of regret. We quote
him in fun M Coburn says:
Beyond question the period Of Kansas greatest agr
cultural prosperity been the decade and this
prosperity has been conemporaneous with the recognition
of alfalfa and the sorghum as factors in her agricultural
economy Prior TO about years ago neither of these
had been deemed Of sufficient Importance to be
taken notice in the statistics Of the State Board If
Agriculture In 1898 the had alfalfa 1920 acres
Of sorghum for forage 13225 and the nonsaccharine
sorghums. which included kafir corn. milo maize AMI
Jerusalem 1892 In 1901 there were S19l4e
acres Of alfalfa Of saccharne sorghum for forage SAL
SCI acres; and Of the nonacharne sorghums including
kafr corn. milo maize and Jerusalem corn 627 4S2 acres
but Of all this great 61SS16 acres was given to
kahir ccrn.
Those whose experience has been with the saccharine
sorghums are tenacious of the idea that as FORAGE
crop nothing is better productive more profitable
While those who know most of the nonsaccharne sorts
of which kafr is coming to he the main reliance
are sangune that taking into consideration the grain 1t
produces along with its f0rage nothing desirable
and particularly so where for reasons Of climate ana att

points out the possibility such variety that crcum-

The tutor was Interrupted by the sound

In answer Clarence put most Of his ten
fingers in his mouth and blew four feeble
blasts in answer.
Why didn't you ever teach me to whis-

The next afternoon Mr. Whitley vas

THE REBELLION OF CLARENCE.

If he had been given q fair chance
Clarence would have been a good, healthy
young animal. But fond mother who
believed in bringing boys up under glass

with nothing admirable about him from
any point Of view.

declared. in the first place. that 10 send

ling. The public schools were no place
for a '.gentiemans son" So until he
was S. he had a French governess. and
after that age he was put in charge OF
a putty-faced young tutor who hated the
work of handling boys. The tutors
most distinguishing feature was his ears
BY series of progressive experiments
Clarence had discovered that he could do
as he pleased with the tutor. For one
thing, the tutor had tender shins, and
Clarence found much JOY in slipping up
quietly behind the tutor and cutting him
just below the knees with the sharp.
brass-bound edge OF a two-foot rule.
On such occasions the tutor was accus-
toned to bend over in agony and TO
express his wrath by the nearest ap-
preach to an oath he ever allowed him
self:
%. fury
Master Clarence had also discovered
that the tutor did not like red pepper in
his food. He had noticed that even a
small amount Of the fiery condiment
made tears come into the fishy pale blue
eyes Of poor Mr. Whitley, and that q
slightly larger dose would send him
from the table IN a paroxysm OF cough
ing. So that when the tutor did not I'M
mediately agree with all the suggestions
of his pupil, Clarence would simply
threaten him with an application OF red
pepper at the next meal, and would usu-
ally carry his point.
IN such innocent and playful little ways
as these Clarence managed to get little
enjoyment cut Of life. but on the whole
he was completely and supremacy niser-

BIG STAMP TAX.
nc ryde Sugar Co. Hust Pay on a
100000 Trust Deed.

Attorney General Dole yesterday gave
an opinion to the effect that the Nc
Bryde Sugar Co. must pay stamp tax
of s59S9 upon it's new trust deed of
81. 10000. His letter to Treasurer
Wright is as follows:
Honolulu, H. l., July "a, 1902.
Honorable VIM. H Wright, Treasurer
of the Territory of Hawaii.
Dear Sir:
l am in receipt of your request for
my opinion whether the trust deed OF
the McBryde Sugar Company, Limited,
to the First American Savings ~ Trust
Company of Hawaii. Limited, requires
stamps on a consideration of 81, $50. =
10000 or of $4,000, 10000.
Your request for an answer today,
and engagements which 1 have made
for this afternoon. render it impossible
TO give an answer today in the light
of a careful study of the instrument.
From such examination as l have been
able to make, it seems to me that the
question is disposed of in the matter
of the appeal of the Hawaiian Com
mercial & Sugar Company, respecting
stamp duty upon a certain trust deed.
10 Haw. 514; and that said deed should
be stamped upon a consideration of
$4,000, 0Uv.00, paying stamps in the sum
Of $5,9S900. Very respectfully yours,
E. p. DOLE.
Attorney General.
