aIf all the product Of 1889 were loaded
in ordinary refrigerator cars the train
would be 868 miles long, or longer than
the distance between Washington and
Chicago"
George F. Thompson, Of Kansas, ed
itor of the bureau of animal industry,
was speaking in Washington Saturday,
and he was talking about eggs.
Eggs are eggs these days" he contin-
ued, "and are a product Of the farm that
ought to be reckoned with in our in
ternal commerce. They have received
too little credit for what they have done
toward opening up our frontiers and the
developement of our country. Indeed
there are three Individual factors which
have been prominent in the settlement
Of our frontiers; refer to the patient
housewife, the gentle COW and the help
full hen. The part that each of these
has taken, directly or indirectly, in the
making Of farms out of forest lands,
prairie lands and desert land has re-
ceived too little attention from a people
that owe 50 much to them.
"a generation ago when prairie
schoOners were so numerous on the
western frontiers, it was a rare thing to
see one that did not have a chicken coop
tied on the end gate Of the wagon, or
COW following close behind, oftentimes
driven By the wife herself on foot. In
the new hOme-to be-the wife with
equal fortitude, endures all the trials
and priYstions that come to the hus-
band; and while he subdues the forest
or breaks the prairie she cares for the
COW and chickens in addition to her
household. 1t requires time for the
husbands work to bring results; her
COW and her chickens are already giving
results-indeed have been doing so all
along the journey. The subsistence of
these pioneers for a time must necessari-
ly be upon egg, poultry and milk and
the surplus eggs become the exchange
medium at the country store. Money
seems to abhor frontier Just as nature
does vacuum.
''The eggs produced on farms in 1899
would fill a train of cars that would
reach from Washington to Chicago
Look at the figures: 1928, 8T8, 144 doz-
ems, or 43,127,272 crates of 80 dozens
each. These are worth s144, 286, $40. In
1889 the product was 474, 1929 fewer
than in 1899. The average price per
dozen ranged from ~ cents in Texas to
43 cents in Alaska. The average price
in the whole country was Ills cents per
dozen. There were BOB eggs for each of
our population and these were worth
sLs9.
in the production Of eggs Iowa leads,
with 96,621, $50 dozens worth 51O,O16, 707.
Ohio comes into second place; as to

Pr0dueti0n Of eggs in Is7a. 1ss9 90

THAT there were great many more
poultry in Kansas in 1900 than there
were in 1890 is evidenced by the very
large increase in egg production Of 1900
over 1890. The table, however, by omit
ing poultry under three months old,
shows an apparent large decrease. The
value Of poultry Of all ages was 8, 1885,
997.
"The poultry and egg products Of 1893
were valued at s13,728, 294. Of which
So, 491, 1s3 was for poultry and 1927, III
was for eggs. Dairy products fell be
hind this industry TO the extent Of
q. 945, 392, while the animals sold was
the only item of those Of animal origin
which outlayed poultry and eggs.
"All animal products were valued at
s96.372, $40, and poultry and eggs formed
IA 3 per cent of this sum.
The eggs produced in 1899 amounted
%, 100, $50 dozens, which was an increase
over 1889 Of 3O,6O5,615 dozens. The val

Prof. A. D. Wilcox, who delivered a
series Of sensible temperance lectures in
GoOdland several months ago, is talking
temperance vigorously in different parts
Of Kansas.
His meetings last month, at BrOokville,
aroused much interest and made a deep
impression. The beginning vas made
for an entire revolution in public senti-
ment.
At Hill City also the meetings were of
a rousing character. An unfortunate
interruption, however, occurred when
on a Wednesday night the ball in which
the meetings were held was set afire. 1t
was in the middle of the meeting. OF
course the audience rushed out but the
fire was extinguished and some of the
people returned for the completion Of
the lecture.
1t ought to be stated, however, that
the fire was not the result of any III feel
ing toward the meeting. It was the
fourth attempt, within six weeks, to fire
the building.

The Philharmonic Lady quartette, Of

cOmpanied by a reader, follows closely
upon the heels of the Schumanns. there
is no reason to believe that the Philhar-
monies viii not be fully appreciated, as
they come with the highest press recon-
mendatiOns.
An organization Of this kind tones up
the culture and musical taste of the
town, and loyal patronage by the PEG
pie will aid not little in inducing other
high class entertainments to make this
town in future.

The little Jananese acrobat, In his
short robe Of back embroidered with
gold dragons. walked slowly up the
slanting wire cable to the very roof Of
the circus tent. There he paused a mo-
ment, and then-swish, swish, swish
he slid smoothly and gracefully down
the steep wire to the ground. Elevat-
ing his voice above the loud applause,
an old circus man said: THAT sliding
trick has never been learned by Eu-
ropean. It's a trick that the Japs alone
do. If you watched our little friend you
noticed that he always kept the wire
between his big toe and the second toe.
When he slid. the wire was between his
toes. That is the way the Japanese
learn to walk the wire, but we English
and Americans can't learn to walk in
that way because our toes have not the
same suppleness and strength. Our
toes, confined for generations in un-
hygienic, tight, heavy leather boots,
have no muscle and no mobility. To
slide down a wire requires well devel-
oped toes first of all. We, therefore,
can't match the Japs in this snowy,
telling and difficult feat" = Phiiadel-
phia Record.

watering Plants.


Watering is an exacting labor, and
yet half Of it Is usually unnecessary.
The reasons why it is unnecessary are
two-the soil is so shallowly prepared
that the roots do not strike deep
enough; we waste the moisture by al
lowing the soil to become hard, thereby
setting up capillary connection with
the atmosphere and letting the water
escape.
See how moist the soil Is in spring.
Mulch it so that the moisture Will not
eyaporate. Mulch it with q garden
rake, by keeping the soil loose and dry
on top. This loose, dry soil is the
mulch. There will be the moisture
underneath. Save water rather than
add it. Then when you do have to
water the plants so at 1t as II you
meant 1t. Do not dribble. Wet the
soil clear through. Wet it at dusk or
In cloudy weather. Before the hot sun
strikes it renew your mulch or supply
mulch Of fine litter. More plants are
spoiled by sprinkling than by drought.
Bear in mind that watering Is only q
special practice; the general practice Is
to SO fit anu maintain the ground that
the plants will not need watering
