AppIes Good for Cows.

One of the theories that have been
exploded as worthless is the old i'm
agination that Gull apples fed to cows
would dry up their milk flow. An
other absurd proposition is that sour
apples will create sour milk. AS a
matter of fact apples which are not
decayed are the very best condiment
for dairy stock and tend to increase
rather than diminish the flow of milk.
Scientifically speaking the compost
ton of the apple as a feed is: Water,
80.S per cent; protein, Z per cent;
carbohydrates and fat, 1872 per cent.

IKGR|(lIEIURE!i
Build Up a Field.

There is no lesson so effective as the
object lesson. We try to induce the
farmer to drain and fertilize all his
farm, but we will have little impress
ion on him till we have been able to
place some object lesson before him,
such as inducing the leading farmers
in every locality to take one field and
build it up, as it were, to high state
of fertility. A few farmers have done
this under the instruction OF profess
ors of the agricultural colleges, and
more are doing it. Their example is
being followed by the farmers i'm
madiately around them, who have
been impressed by the things that are
shown.
BY the building up of field the
farmer himself will learn about MS
land many things that he never knew
before he began that work. 1t is sur
prising how many things there are
about farms that their owners do not
know. There was one man that lived
in a locality where the popular i'm
preston was that the land could not
be drained. They said that the tex
ture of the soil was such that the wat
er simply evaporated from its surface,
but did not pass through it. Under
the instruction of the state agricultur-
al college the man put in series of
drains, and, behold, they worked to
perfection. The other farmers in that
vicinity came to see his drains and
were moved by what they saw to con-
struct drains of their own.
This man had land that was def
cient in potash. By draining he low
cred the soil water more than a foot
and lay bare layer of soil that was
rich in potash. The roots of the plants
went down to it and the owner OF the
field was relieved of the necessity or
sending away for potash. He possibly
had never discovered this truth till he
began to build up field.
One field on farm should be made
to bear the greatest possible crop;
that the value of the farm for crop pro-
duction may be understood. 1t will be
an experimental lot and it's value will
depend on the care that is given it
and on the figures that are written
down as to it's cost and products.
There are very few fields that cannot
'l1e improved either mechanically, In
fertilMing or in moisture contents.

Not a Bit Tired,

A little girl was very proud Of be-
ing taken for a walk By her father,
and. though sometimes the rambles
extended a trifle beyond her strength,
she would not have pleaded fatigue
for worlds. One day, however, her
father noticed that she was tagging.
Tired. Pussy" he asked. "No, father
that is, not azackly tired. I was
only wishing l could take of my legs

A strange story Of treasure-trove

mechanics working in a house that
had belonged to an eccentric old no

just died, were removing an antique
chair, which had been fastened to a
wall when they discovered behind it,
in the wall itself. a recessed hiding
place, from which was at once taken

IMPERIAL EASTER EGGS.
Fortunes In Precious Stones that Stud |
the Splendid Gifts

Fortunes In Precious Stones that Stud
the Splendid Gifts.
The Gar of Russia's Easter gifts
to members of his family invariably
take the form Of Easter eggs cut from
some precious metal and surmounted
with the imperial crest set In jewels
The one he gives each year to the
Czarina and the one he gives to his
mother are filed with mechanical de-
vices. One court jeweler devotes al
most all his time to inventing and
constructing new devices for these i'm
perial eggs, but the precise nature of
the toy is kept a profound secret from
all except the Car until after the gift
has been presented.
The Czarina has now a large collec-
ton OF these wonderful eggs, says the
N. Y. World, which are so fashioned
that they open at the touch of a spring
hidden behind a cluster of Jewels at
the top. One contains a beautiful
miniature of the Gar set in ivory and
studded with magnificent diamonds,
the egg itself being of gold. Another,
OF crystal, contains miniatures of her
daughters, each on pivot which turns
at touch, and the whole egg is on
golden pedestal set with one great
emerald worth kings ransom
One year the Czarina's Easter egg
from her husband contained a model
train of cars for the Siberian railroad,
so constructed that they could be
taken out and set going across the
table. Each car was tiny but com
plete. and the train was an exact copy
of the imperial train, not a decoration
nor a screw missing, the dining-car
furnished, and the chapel car with
ikons and candles. Its like does not
exist anywhere.
The Czar's Easter egg gifts to his
mother often contain pictures of her
palaces In different parts Of the Rus
sian Empire. One year the surprise
inside the egg was copy of her girl.
hood home in Denmark, at another
time, pictures of her favorite Orloff
horses done in ebony.
The Gear generally gives the
Grand Duchess Vladimir an egg filed
with a jeweled animal, as this is one
of her fads, and she has large and
immensely valuable collection. The
jewels are set for the eyes of the an
imal, and are always rare and prec-
ious.
The Easter eggs presented to the
Gar take an equal amount of planning
from his family, as he enjoys the sur
prise Of finding something novel In his
eggs as much as the Czarina does

llncoln's Prescription.

There is story, still current In
Illinois, which says that an old far
mer friend of President Lincoln's,
who used to correspond with him,
complained on one occasion of his
poor health. He received the fol-
lowing reply, which is quoted in Him
OILS as 'Lincoln's prescription: DO
not worry Eat three square meals
day. Say your prayers. Think OF
your wife. Be courteous to your Gre
ditors. Keep your digestion good.
Steer clear of billiousness. Exercise.
Go slow and go easy. May be there
are other things that your especial
case requires to make you happy, but
my dear friend, these | reckon, will
give you a good lift
This advice is doubtless applicable
in it's entirety to many Americans in
every state of the Union to-day There
are parts of 1t which apply to us gen.
.erally-as a nation. DO not worry.
Keep your digestion good. Go slow
and go easy" 1t would be difficult to
find an American who has not some
thing to amend on these points Wor-
ry and dyspepsia have assumed the
proportions of national evils, and they
are both more or less the results of
undue haste. There Is no surer way
to promite dyspepsia than to be in a
constant state of hurry, and nothing
will so surely give one the blues" or
incline one to worrying and fretting
than dyspepsia. Our native institu-
tion-the quick lunch" restaurant
IS responsible for large proportion
of the physical ills Of business peo-
pie in large cities. Eating hastily
boiling ones food, as it is popularity
expressed, is enough to ruin the di-
gestive organs Of an ostrich. A man
would better eat half as much as us
nal at the midday meal, which is us
ually the most hurried, and take time
TO masticate properly what he does
xwt into his stomach. Better still
would il be if he would give himself
ample time to relax and eat light
lunch without allowing any thought
of business to intrude on this neces'
.sary period of relaxation.-Success.

Indian Basketry Gems.

Mrs. Ida NJ. Dyer, formerly of Kan
sas City, possesses a rare ethnologi-
cal collection illustrating the acme
of fine art in Indian basketry and
beadwork, which is valued at $4,000.
and was personally collected by Mrs.
Dyer. This is Mrs. Dyers second col
lection, as a few years ago she pre-
scented a valuable collection of curios
to the Kansas City Board of Educa-
ton.
Recording her curios Mrs. Dyer says
that chief among the Indian handi-
crafts basketry and beadwork are the
most expressive vehicles of the indi-
viduality Of the tribes, but the work
is now confined almost entirely TO the
women of middle age and the very
old squaws. The young lack persis

Every line on an Indian basket is
eloquent with meaning, which makes

to the collector as well as important

Why We color Eggs at Easter.

The Syrian bulbul (nightingale) has
the loveliest voice of all Gods crea-
ture and the saddest song ever heard.
Shady coverts fringing the Jordan still
shelters the bird that sings darkling. .
There is legend that the bulbul sat
In the olive tree in the garden of JOS
eph OF Aramathea, and, the night be-
fore the Resurrection, through the
darkness poured out her soul in sor-
rowing plant above the still sleeper In
the tomb wherein was never man laid.
When the first Easter morning broke
over the eastern hills the eggs In the
nest of the brooding bird sparkled
with gold, blue. orange and crimson;
and so we color eggs at Easter for a
memorial of the lone singer who sang
by the Holy Sepulchre 1905 years ago. "

TO FIGHT OIL TRUST.
Kansas United in Great Fight to Save
the Industry,

Topeka.--It has been proposed thai
an organization which snail unite al
the forces in Kansas in favor Of a
plan tor State control OF the industry
through the establishment OF State
owned storage tanks, refinery and
pipe line shall be effected. Ii is est.
mated that $l0,000,000 will be reQuir-
ed and it is held that State bonds Tor
this amount can easily be fioated.
Another plan Is to form company
with $50.000,000 capital, and so or
ganized that the Standard will be for
ever excluded from a voice in its man
agement. This company is to con-
struct and own oil and gas wells, pipe
lines, storage tanks, refineries, pump
ing plants, telegraph and telephone
lines, gas plants, vessels and every
thing required n the conduct of it's
business, including COCKS, wnarves
and even railroad lines. There will
be 100000 600 preferred and $780,
100000 common stock.
The first work of the new concern
will be to provide storage tankage for
its shareholders, and thus enable all
plants to keep going continuously. To
take care of five to six millions bar
rels Of oil viii require an outlay of
approximately $1,000,000 The tank
farms will be begun Immediately up
on the organization of the company
and completed as rapidly as possible.
Then comes a system Of local pipe
lines and big pipe line from the
suburbs of Kansas City on the north
to Muskogee, /. T., on the South TO
get the oil to the tank farms. After
this come the ambitious features OF
the programme. The building of
pipe line to Fort Arthur, Texas; the
construction of wharves and docks
at that place, and refinertes at other
places, and the shipping of oil to mar
kets.
This would mean 500 miles of pipe
lire in Kansas, 500 miles in the In
dian Territory and 1000 miles in Tex
as, total of 1900 miles. At an aver
age cost of $1,000 a mile, and this
is above the average cost, the pipe line
investment would approximate SIS,
100000. The pumping stations would
cost another 100000. The docks
and terminal facilities at Fort Ar
thur would cost perhaps S2,000,o0O
more Three or four or five reflner-
les would bring the total to $4,000
900, or possibly $20,000,000 Accord
ing to the plan there would be lett
In the treasury as working capital
from SIS. 900, 900 to s25 100000 in stock
to be sold at such times as necessary.
