Cutting Corn by Machine.
From the Kansas CITY star.

All Over Kansas now can be-
seen the harvest ofsone of the greatest
crops OF corn ever raised in the history
of the state. Much Of 1t is already3,
farmers are still busy with the harvest
Most corn in this section is sold on a.
30-cent basis, some at a little less. and
the better grades at perhaps a trifle:
more than that figure.
The immense crop everywhere, its
would seem, would have a tendency I o
lower the price later on, but the farm
ers have succeeded In getting 1t started
at 80 cents N once started 1t is mott
going to be easy to cut the price. Cat-f
tie feeders are paying this for the cornl
and are preparing to get enough bought
at this figure to prevent tile necessity OF
shipping 1t in later in the Winter.I
when the best they canSdo is about sol
cents. Some Of the grazing countiesI
like Chautauqua and Elk have come
nearer raising all the corn they viii
need for cattle feeding this year than
ever before.
The corn harvest of today differs ma
terially from that of ten years ag0.d
when the farmers armed themselyesI
with corn knives and marched forth. as|

"I1ia most independent woman IN tEA
United States is the description given to
Mrs. Thomas Pierce, and it is doubtful 1t
any other woman was admired and dis
cussed moro than was she at the Newport
horse show. Ye. she wore no creation
from Paris, no glittering gems, no model
hat from Virot; the very absence Of all
this made her conspicuous among the
fashionably gowned women. Throughout
the three days she wore a riding habit,
white stock n a Panama hat turned up
in front in cowboy style. After riding her
two Jumpers. hands in the pockets of her
coat. she walked about the ring petting
the horses and showing a keen interest in
the noble steeds.
An incident which occurred on the Sec
ond day OF the show served to prove that
her description fitted. She had just jumped
the last hurdle when her horse lost his foot
hold on the slippery ground and went
down with a crash. She was sent flying
over his head and fell in a heap several
feet away She was not hurt and in a
fifty was up. A groom led the horse away
and unconcernedly she walked ward
the box coupled by her husband and some
friends. This box was the last one at the
extreme end OF the ring where she then
was, and the only entrance to the stand
being at the middle. to walk back to her
box she would have gone half the length
of the stand and then back. Evidently the
roundabout way seemed too long to her.
go calling to her husband to stretch out his
hand, she grasped it and then gracefully
climbed up to the stand and, leaping over
the rail, sat in one of the chairs as uncon-
cerned as if she had used the most usual
ways to enter a box, while the whole as
senablage looked on. Few of the women's
faces expressed approval, but on those of
the men there was an unmistakabie look
of admiration.

tavern In Newport. The immediate upshot.
OF the bulk was the abrupt cessation Of
improper talk on the part of the midship-
man and his fellows. On arrival at New
port Miss Baker stepped out of the coach
and asked for the best inn, declaring that
she wanted a room where a little difficulty
could be settled without interference OF
the authorities. Mine host cheerfully COM

when dIels and matters of honor were of

than passing interest.

and remarkad:

Miss Baker, .'if you keep up your pistol

To this essay the youth made no reply,
but he looked very blue around his gills,
as the seaman would express it.
The seconds having marked off the
meager four PAGES, the opponents took
their prescribed stations and faced each
other. There was something about the
steady hand and quiet nerve of the dis
guised woman that seemed to a X all the

as he faced the appraised pistol he seemed
to forget all about his previous blusterings,
and humbly begged that the fight might be

Just Plain Feminine.

Before the afternoon ended every man,
woman and child in the place had dropped
in at Emma Eliza Pratt's, for the story
had spread rapidly through the little vii
lage that the death of a cousin in the city
had made the lonely, elderly spinster rich
beyond Imagination.
Through it all Emma Eliza herself had
been surprisingly mute and outwardly
u~nraoved-a study and an enigma to the
lawyer who had arrived from New York
on the noon train, bringing the great
at all unwilling to observe further this
curious little woman of rural birth and
limited experience as her min began to
grasp the fact of her new fortune.
What will she do with it?" he speculat-

or an orphan asylum? Will she embel-
lish her native village with dubious works
Of art? Will she uild herself an absurb-
ly big and p%retentious Residence or will
she move to the city, go abroad, and be-
come at last-an art collector?" The
lawyer enjoyed an inward laugh as he
watched the queer little figure at that
moment engaged in placing a plate Of hot
biscuits on the table, the inexpensive
ayes and pursed-up lips as s%phinxlike as
ever.
at tea he set himself to the task Of

PROTESTING THE HARNESS.

PROTESTING THE HARNESS.
Every farmer appreciates that The ex-
pense OF harnesses and for harness repairs
Is considerable during the year, hence
should be pleased at the suggestion of
some plan which will enable him to keep
tho harness in good condition. A harness
should always be hung up. Here Is q sim
pie plan. Max three rs Of a strong but
aig7t lumber and especially making the
cross bar STRONG. F'asten these to a joist
in a convenient place with the cross bar
at the bottom. Simply use the arms On.

FARMING in SETTLED COMMUNE
TIES.
A prominent agricultural journal objects
to the picture of farms located close to
thriving villages and particularly SO If
manufacturing is carried on in such sec
tons claiming that the prices Of labor on
the farm are increased by the proximity
of the factory and that the young are
lured away from the farm by the SEEM
fngly better return for labor in the factory.
That there is some truth in this cannot be
denied but. on the other hand, there are
advantages which offset the disadvan-
tages. One of the most prolific causes Of
discomfort with the farm is the loneliness
so evident. If the farmer and his family
arc socially inclined or are progressive
they naturally chafe at being SO located
that they cannot carry out their ideas.
One of the most progressive and intelli-
gent farming communities we ever saw
consisted Of a section where wise settlers
had laid out farms averaging fifty acres
each with not more than six hundred feet
frontage. This village consisted of nearly
LOCO people, two thirds of whom were
farmers, the other third being the more
thickly settled section in the business por-
ton. The people had many conveniences,
came into frequent contact with each 9TH
er and so, willingly or unconsciously, the
entire community was benefited. Mer
are naturally generous and IL they have g
chance to talk or work with their fellows
viii do much to help another over a bad
place.. Don't frown on closely settled
farming sections but on the other hand dc
something to build your own section UP so
that all of the inhabitants will benefit.
FEEDING BEDDING TO HORSES.
1t is not to be said that farmers are feed
ing to horses material which has been
used for beddfng; not quite as bad as that,
but chey are feeding material which ought
to be used for bedding because it is not fit
for food. One of the most remarkable
ideas among some farmers arc those which
have to do with feeding his horses. Dur
ing the season of work the horses are we'll
fed but when there is little for them to do
the farmer seems to consider hat the
horse should not eat, so hc is fed just
enough to keep life in him. Spring comes
around again and the poor horse. if still
alive is put to work much beyond his
strength and utterly ruined. This is some
what exaggerated perhaps but too many
farmers work mighty close to this plan.
True, it will not do to feed the horse as it
is fed when doing hard work but 1t should
have enough food to sustain life and keep
it in good vigor ready, with a few days of
extra care, to a up any work asked of
1T. Use the poor straw for bedding and
give the horse food he should have. Try
the plan of having bread made from the
corn cob instead of the grain; eat 1t for
a month and you'll then have a faint idea
Of how the horse feels who is fed on bed

WOOD ASHES IN ORCHARDS.

The application Of wood ashes to orchard
soils should be more general for the potash
in the unleached wood ashes will be very
welcome to the soil particularly II the soil
has had but little fertilizer for a consid-
cradle period. Many fruit growers COM
plain Of damage from the use Of wood
ashes but If UGH has been the case 1t was
due to a too heavy application close to the
tree. In our work in this direction wa
start three feet from the trunk Of the tree
and spread the ashes broadcast out as far
as the branches extend and then work
them lightly under the soil with AXE or
harrow IL the later cen be worked to adj
vantage. We have one old orchard in sod
on which we used potash in various forms
but largely by means Of the %unleached
wood ashes and figure that when the trees
become improbable because of age, which
will be in q few years, the wood ashes will
have been paid for by better apples and we
will have a meadow left which will be pro-
htable because of the ashes used every few
a little reseeding after the trees have been
removed but this is a small expense.
