SOME IMMENSE FARMS.
one In Texas, Owned by Illinois syn
dicate, IL as Large as the state
of Connecticut.

While the United States census re-
ports 100000 farms averaging 146
acres each in the southwest states
and territories, the average size is
500 acres each. Col. C. C. Slaughter,
of Dallas, Tex, has 1,250,000 acres of
farm and ranch land In the Pan
handle district of Texas the Capi-
tol syndicate, of which Senator C. B..
Farwell, of Illinois, is the head, has
a ranch of 100000 acr.s, or more
than as large as the state of Con-
necticut. They raise from 10000 to
10000 acres of corn and other forage
crops and ship from $4,000 to 10000
beef steers each year; $50 cowboys
and so farmhands are employed. In
Oklahoma is one ranch of $4,000
acres. They raised this year 5000
acres of wheat, 5000 acres of forage,
millet and Kaffir corn: 5000 to 10,-
600 cattle are shipped each year. Al
though the expenses of running the
ranch are $95,000 year, the profits
the last year were $150,000. The
Forsha farm in central Kansas has
o,VOv dClCS. Ou III are uOuTlug Inlll,
a complete weather bureau, post Of
flee for owner and employees, gas
plant and long-distance telephone.
The wheat grown is made into -four
on the farm. There is the largest
field of alfalfa in the United States,
1880 acres in one tract. This cuts
three crops a year, about one ton
at each cutting. Frank Rockefeller
has $4,000 acres of grazing and farm
ing land in western Kansas, of which
about 5000 acres are under cultiva-
ton and the rest in alfalfa and tim
othy pastures. There are some of
the finest bred Hereford and Short
horn cattle in the world on this
farm, valued at $35O,OOO, including
one $4,000 bull. The grain for these
cattle is grown and ground on the
farm. He intends to convert 10000
acres of pasture land into alfalfa
The cattle and horse barns are of
iron and stone. John w. Stewar art,
of Wellington, Kan, has 140 farms,
all separate and in different parts
of the state. 1t is not uncommon
for farmer in these sections to buy
IS harvesters, a dozen plows and as
many corn harvesters at one time
Fifty men make good harvesting
crew for farm there.

HOW HE GOT IT.
Jones' Easy Way Of Laying Up Money
While He Was in the
Legislnture.

Some recent developments at Jefferson
City have recalled story that used to be
told about former Buchanan county rep
resentative in the legislature Before his
election to the legislature he was chronic
ally broke When he returned from
Jefferson City he exhibited $500 in good
crisp greenbacks. Some of his friends
''Jollied" him about his prosperity, relates
the Kansas City journal
You didn't have q cent when you went
to the legislature, did you, Jones?" said
one of them.
.Not blamed cent" said Jones.
As matter of fact, I lent you half
your railroad fare, didn't II"
Il believe you did,"
well, you were down in jefferson City
about 40 days. You got five dollars day.
Now what we want to know is how YOU
managed to save $500 out of total income
of $500"
Come Closer" whispered. Jones, "and
III tell you how did it. l had my wash
ing done at home"

The value Of Appearances.

The appearance of our cheese
factories and creameries has much
to do with insuring an improvement
in the products. The surroundings
of these places do much to set the
pace. A nicely built, clean creamery
is an inspiration to all connected
with it. The workers take better
care of themselves, and the patrons
are more careful to bring only good
products. This is the tendency eff
fective to "a greater or less degree.
What can we expect of the patrons,
when the creamery itself is q
tumbled-down affair, with drains
filed with a sinking combination of
putrid milk and dirty water? The
task of securing from the patrons
clean milk is nearly hopeless one,
unless the establishment that re-
ceives it is measurably clean

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid

lowing case:
Veteran Joshua Heller, 7o6 South
Walnut street, Urbana, Ill, says: I'm

Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros
drug store in Champaign and taking
course of the treatment / told the

relieved me of kidney trouble, dis
posed of lame back with pain
across my loins and beneath the
shoulder blades. During the inter-
val which has elapsed / have had oc-
casion to resort to Doan's Kidney
Pills when I noticed warnings of an
attack. On each and every occasion
the results obtained were just as sat-

six inches through and three feet
long for runners. The two hunks
were about the same size and two
feet eight inches long. The forward
bunk is put on with one bolt in each
end, SO it can have a good chance to
work
For the middle bunk put two
two-inch holes through each runner,
then took small, round birch of the
size wanted, heated it hot in a fire
and bent it in the shape needed to
put over the middle bunk and the
two ends down through the runner,
then wedged them solid, but so there
would be plenty of play. The nose
of the runners must be made so they
win not catch on every rock or
stump. This can be done by putting
the forward bunk at the very end
of the runner. The chain is put on
the log with half hitch and drawn
through hole through both hunks.

Why is it, asks an exchange, that a
woman can struggle until she is red in
the face and worn out both in temper
and body by window in railroad
train in her vain endeavors to close or
open it when all that man has to do
is to walk up and go over exactly the
same line of action that she has already
exhausted, and down comes the refrac-
tory window in a jiffy? 1t is a most
humiliating fact, but very true one,
nevertheless, that not five women out
Of dozen ever succeed in arranging Il
window to their satisfaction. They
pull and tug until they are embarrassed
and finally in a pleading manner look
around at some slip of a man, who
without any nonsense brings about the
desired effect, while the woman looks
on in silent wonder at his marvellous
skill and deXterity.
