TIlis County Farm Paid.

Atchison, Aug. S.-The sixty acres
of wheat at the new county farm ave-
ragged 49, IL bushels to the acre. The
quality was good, and the greater part
of the grain sold for 81 cents. The
crop amounted to 500 bushels, and
melted a profit, over and above all ex-
penses, of $500. In addition, 600
bushels of oats were harvested off 35
acres. This will be fed. The county
has twenty acres in corn, seven acres
in cane, and two acres in potatoes, and
all these promise fine yields. Wheat
and oats suffered from the excessive
rainfall. This years results indicate
that the new farm, skillfully and eco
nomicaIly managed, ought to be a
source of profit to the county, and
help support the poor who will make
their home there.

yet in sight. To be sure, some days
three or four men were seen doing
time on the old wreck of a street car
bridge, but generally a man and a boy
were all that were at work on it,
Your correspondent was told that
thousands have been spent on a park
called Vinewood, while the people
along what has always been the best
paying line of street car road walk
winter and summer across that long
bridge only to find that as they near
the other side the car hurries away
from them. At best that street car
bridge is a menace to the passengers
and a disgrace to the owners. No
wonder there are empty houses in
North Topeka with such car service.
The writer ventures to say that three
fourths of the people of the city of
Topeka will agree with him in the
statement, that the present street car
company is doing more harm to
North Topeka by its inefficient service
than was done by the great flood of
1903, The said car company seems
to enjoy the prolonging of this suffer-
ing to the north siders. The city
fathers don't seem to be at all exer-
cised about it.

HAYS STAND.
His Views on Contraband of War
Made known Last June.

Washington. Aug. S.-"The recogni-
ton in principle. of the treatment of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton as
absolutely contraband of war might
ultimately lead to a total inhibition Of
the sale by neutrals to the people of
belligerent states of all articles which.
could be finally converted to military
uses. Such an extension of the prin-
ciple by treating coal and other fuel
and raw cotton as absolutely contra
band of war. simply because they are
shipped by a neutral to a non-blockad-
ed port of a belligerent, would not ap-
pear to be in accord with the reasona-
bic and lawful rights of a neutral COM
merce."
This is a summary of a declaration by
secretary Hay on the right of neutral
nations during war 1t was embodied
IN a circular to American ambassadors
In Europe which was issued from the
state department June 10 last. but for
some reason was withheld from the
public. although certain shippers VINO
inquired at the department after their
right were supplied with copies. The
circular is based on a declaration by the
Russian government that coal,naphtha,
alcohol and other fuel have been de-
elared contraband.

Lyndon, Kan, Aug. 5, 1904.
Editor State Journal, Topeka, Kan.
To a disinterested outsider it looks
as if the Topeka city railway is stay
ing up nights to study thessupreme in
convenience of that already over dis
tressed town of North Topeka. The
writer has just spent two weeks there
in your city of Topeka and part of
that time on the north side. He was
told that for year or more the town
of North Topeka has endured the
same street car service Cor lack of IT'D
that it is now enduring. What a long
suffering people they are. And what
fine advertisement for the city of
Topeka it must be for strangers,
prospective residents, etc, to know
that for more than a year the citizens,
must walk a part of the distance that
they pay the car company for hauling
them. And no sign of the end being

TO AID POOR BOSTON.
A Kansas Man Called on to Deliver
Bean Eaters From New Pest.

Boston and vicinity is just now in the
throes of a life and death struggle with
one of the greatest pests that ever visited
the country--viz.: the gypsy moth:
Not long ago great swarms or these
creatures appeared, and at night the trees
and other objects in the vicinity of the
electric lights were literally covered with
them. At present millions of the larvae
are at work rapidly consuming the Vege-
tation, especially the leaves of the shade
trees. Many trees have been stripped
bare, while others have the appearance
of having been riddled by hail storm
Thousands of. the trees have been FUR
nished with some kind of band about the
trunk to keep the pests off, but with lit
tie effect.
The government has sent Charles L.
Marriott formerly of Manhattan, kan.
now in charge of the field work in ento-
moloey to Investigate the situation and
see what can be done for relief from these
hungry creatures. Mr.. Marriott has de-
cided the only way to deal with them IS
to introduce a destructive parasite. This
will be undertaken.
This moth is said to have been brought
over here a dozen years ago by Har-
ward university entomologist who was ex-
perimenting with them and whose sudden
death resulted in their being turned loose
on the community.
The presence of these destructive. pests
recalls the Biblical account of the plaques
of Ancient Egypt.

TO ExTERMINATE MoLEs.
Prof. Lantz Issues Bulletin Telling
How to Kill Them.

| People who are bothered with moles-
the kind that dig in the ground and
not the kind that grow on your face
and elsewhere-will be interested in a
bulletin just issued by the experiment
station at the State Agricultural col
lege. 1t relates to the determination of
moles and was prepared by Prof. D. (.
Lantz, VINO prepared the poison for
prairie dogs. Prof. Lantz has been ex-
perimenting in feeding the moles poison
also. and in his bulletin he says:
THE poisoning experiments were
made with much doubt as to the char
acter of the results that would be at
tanned, owing to the great difficulty in
finding suitable bats. Strychnine, the
poison which proved most successful in
destroying rodents, was assumed as the
best adapted to the work.
with shelled corn soaked in a solu-
ton of Strychnine and syrup, some of
the noles were killed, but no data as
to the relative number could be obtain
ed.
with sweet corn in the milk orroast-
ing ear stage, cut from the cob and
similarly treated. a large measure of
success was attained, and nearly all the
moles destroyed.
1.-The kernels of unroasted peanuts,
in which strychnine crystals were
placed, were found to be reasonably
successful bait, and are recommended
when green corn is not available.
Bits of meat or dead insects proper
ly poisoned will prove successful, but
with the meat there is greater danger
of poisoning dogs, since the mole bur-
rows lie close to the surface of the
ground.
THE sense of smell seems to be
strongly developed in moles. My exper-
iments have verified the statement that
If ordinary moth-ballS are dropped in
to their runway, and these covered, the
moles will not again use them until the
moth-balls have entirely disappeared.
This does not, however, prevent their
working in nearby places.
Traps for catching moles are sold in
most of the hardware stores. Nearly
all of them work by the use of a spring
coil which, when released, drives a
number of sharp tines in the ground
and through the mole. Some experience
in setting these traps will lead to the
best results: but trapping is a much
slower process than poisoning.
"MoleS are usually actively at work
in the early morning or late in the af-
ternoon. At times there is also a short
period of activity about noon. It is
not difficult to kill them with a pitch
fork when they are working. the ami
mails being located by observing the
movement of the ground above them.
If water is allowed to run into the
burrow and fill it. the animal when
present can be forced to come to the
be easily killed. The writer at one time
killed a female and six young a one
such operation.
THE best remedy for the damage
done to lawns and grass plots by moles
is prompt rolling with a heavy roller.
By continued repetition of this the
moles will be driven away"
