Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-08-05

The convenience of buildings has
much to do with the success of under
takings in poultry raising. Too much
work reduces the profit. The house
wife usually has the work of caring
for the fowls on her hands, and where
is the woman that does not have all
she can do in her own house, to say
nothing of out Of doors work. Since
she must do this work, it should be
made as easy as possible for her. La

Evidently the gully had been Sc
lected as leading in the direction he
wished to take, for finally he rose
to crouching posture and began to
move up its course, walking almost
swiftly, though with still Bonded
back, where it was deep and the sage
bush hung over it, and crawling
again where it grew shallow and lay
open to the sun. In this way, after
an hour of toll, he reached mass of
boulders, around which the gully
bent. and here he raised himself in

Has Learned Much of Africa.

A recent statement in the Scientific
American says. that NJ. Chevalier, the
noted French explorer, has just re-
turned from a prolonged trip through
Central Africa, where he secured a
valuable collection of interesting doc
uments and photographs of the coun-
try and its people. A monograph.
which he. took, with him was the me-
dunn for obtaining re ords Hof the
languages of the various natives in
the regions which he explored. In a
course of lectures which M. Cheva-
lier is to deliver he intends to repro

The Land of Long Ago.

The Land of Long Ago,
Where happy hours sleep.
Where languid rivers glide.
with stately flow and deep:
Where fadeess roses blow,
And Love sits azure-eyed.
There comes no frost, nor snow,
But balmy breezes sweep
Ger gardens fair and wide.
And slow the waters creep.
Through blossoms bending low
Above the charmed tide.
How sweet to rise and go
IFfom ways, where mortals weep,
From love so long denied.
To dreams that roses heap,
Where crystal waters flow.
And golden days abide.

There are two varieties of Call ducks

The earlier the ram is selected the
more certain the buyer is to get what
he is looking after. A good many
farmers buy rams in the fall, but
wait till late before doing so. They
seldom take into consideration the
numerous delays that are likely to in
tervene before the ram is actually pur-
cased and located on the farm. If the
buyers waits till late his order is sure
to get to the breeder at time when
the latter has other such orders to fill.
If the breeder has more orders than
he can nn he has to decline to fill
the order and the buyer has to seek
another breeder. The second breeder
may be sold out as was the first and
the buyer has to try again. All this
time the weeks are slipping away.
Then there are delays in shipping,
which can never be foreseen. So it
is altogether the part of wisdom for
the buyer to take steps to secure his
ram as soon as possible.

ing material, which gives him great
surplus of fuel to be changed into en-
ergy. But there must be muscle on
which to exercise the energy or it
cannot be used. Corn produces too
little muscle. With oats the balance
is more nearly equal and the energy
and the muscle on which to exercise
the energy are in about the proper
proportions. For this reason the far
mer is able to get more work out of
ten pounds of oats than out of ten
pounds of corn.

New York, June l0.-Iuportant con-

pressure to bear to secure the aid Of Col.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette.]
Richmond, June l0.-Amid much
confusion the State democratic conven-
ton this morning laid on the table a
resolution endorsing the candidacy of
Judge Parker. The vote was S18to 72S.
Senators Daniel aud Martin, both OF
whom are delegates to st. Louis, reflect
ed the views of the convention when
they declared that this action meant no
objection to Judge Parker, whom they
regarded as the most available man, but
were simply actuated by a desire to
leave the delegation perfectly free to use
its best judgment at ST. Louis.
Judge S. w. Williams, of Wythe,
favored this view Of the case and in do
ing so declared himself one who had
followed Bryan and said he had nothing
for which to apologize. The mention OF
Bryan's name caused loud aud long
continued applause

service, corporations Of the country, and
the suppression OF all unlawful combiua-
tons in restraint of trade.
We charge that the republican party
has failed TO admiuister existing laws
against the Illegal trusts from which it
derives its campaign corruption funds
and upon which it in large measure
is dependent for its lease Of power.
Having entire confidence in the sim
certify and good judment Of the delegates
selected to represent Virginia in the
democratic nattvhal convention at st.
Louis, this convention deems it un-
necessary to tie the hands of the
delegates with instructions, but it
is hereby declared that the pre-
ference of the democracy of Virginia for
President of the United States is Alton
B. Parker.
Resolutions tor the unit rule follow
in the usual language.
The speakers yesterday were all heart
lily cheered, the friends Of each yieing
with each other as to who should be
given the most applause. The oratory
was unit for conservative DEF 1racy
and for careful deliberation at st. Louis
But Il was also aggressive in criticism Of
President Roosevelt. Gov. Montague
said that democrats could not hope to
win simply by finding fault.
The democratic convention of the
Second district nearly developed into a
row. The struggle for supremacy be-
tween the Montague and Martin forces
was won by the latter by narrow ma
iori.y. After that the Martin pro-
gramme was carried through. Three Of
the FIVE members of the State committee
are pronounced Martin men, and two
are hostile 70 neither senatorial candi-
date. The old committee, composed en-
tirely Of friends Of Mr.. Dey, is super
seded by three Trehy men, and Mr.
Dey is himself now off the committee.
OF the two Dey men on the committee
still, one of them is pretty acceptable to
the Trehy faction. 1t was complete
oyerturning of the party government in
The district, so far as the policy of the
meo at the head Of affairs is concerned.
Major Robert Hunter, secretary Of
Confederate records, made an address
appealing for aid in completing the Con
iederate war records.
