UNEARTHINo OIL IN KANSAS
Farmer Made First Discovery. But
Lacked Means to Put ideas
to Profit,

The first discovery of oil in Kansas
was made by farmer in johnson coun-
ty who lived near the old Santa Fe
trail and found Oil in a we'll on his
farm and sold it to the freighters for
wagon grease. The early settlers
learned from the Indians these oil
wells existed in different parts of the
state, but little attention was given
them. 1t required the financial re-
Enumeration from the Pennsylvania
field to stir the pioneer elements to &C.
ton in the undeveloped districts and
to bring to the Kansas field men of
capital and experience who would not
be discouraged by few dry holes.
General attention was attracted to the
Kansas field in 1873. when the Acres
well was drilled at lola, where enough
gas was found to make it q commercial
quantity and show that it existed in
sufficient volume for fuel and lighting
purposes. Prospecting was rapid all
over the southeastern part Of the state,
with the result that in 1890 many
towns were supplied wholly or in part
with heat and light for domestic use,

THE LITERARY
PARTNERSHIPS
~ A. A. MILNE

r HE story of Maud and Cecil is in
structive. 1t shows the folly OF get
ting iuto groove.
Cecil Haverstone earned precarious
living by writing for the papers. Most
" he made his money with certain
sort of sentimental tale that one paper
in particular was always glad to have.
In this tale a lady and gentleman OF
good appearance talked agreeably about
things, and at the fifteen hundredth
word the gentleman proposed and was
accepted. Cecil's chief difficulty was
the finding of different name for his
hero each week. The heroine's name
was always Ethel. (Cecil had once been
Tilted by girl named Ethel; she was
now doing penance in his stories, and
those who would could read between the
lines.) There was nothing brutally d.
rect about these weekly offers of mar
riage: no blunt 81 love you!" 1t need
ed an Ethel with two months previous
experience to understand that this real
ly was declaration. One week 1t would
end:

"Ethel raised her beautiful eyes to

".Dont go, Reginald she whis-
pered."
So Reginald stayed, and the proprie-
tors of the Lamplight forwarded check

begged him to present it within fort
night. Which Invariably he did.

DAIRY AND STOCK.

Keep an account with the pigs. The
cost of production tells the story of
your profit.
While the colt runs with the dam
have him well halter-broken, and the
first time he is taken alone from the
pasture, call him by his name and give
him little grain. Never disappoint
him afterward. Try it.
Take especial pains never to allow
any food to remain in the hog troughs.
When any is left therein, better sweep
1t out and wash the troughs with Wa
ter to rid them of any possible sour
aess or filth that may have gotten in

Poor fences will turn the sheep, from
being the farmers best friend into the
most miserable nuisance. When sheep
orce, get into the habit of crawling
through or over fence, they will
cause no end of trouble, and they
might as we'll be turned of first as last.
1t is getting to be quite the fashion,
nowadays, for farmers to seek for
horses which can make a good record
on the road as well as do good days
work on the farm. Not all breeds can
be thus used. The fast horse is not
very apt to be steady work animal.
There are breeds, however. which have
both these qualities. When we find
such horse we have a iewel.-Farm

the levees and the river there can be nc

Emperor Menelik has established on
four narrow hills, is estimated nt So

more than about 1000 of the inhabitants

GETTING RID OF STONES.
e Il Possible That to Do So IL Not
Always the Most Profitable
Proposition.

It u told Of Q Scotch Garner, who
had just rented new farm. that he
hired host Of workers and cleared
his fields Of millions of stones in
readiness for his first grain crops.
Instead Of benefiting the land the loss
Of the stones actually spoiled the crop.

fully returned to the land with good
results. We cannot vouch for the
accuracy of this story, but 1t serves to
bring up the question whether 1t al.
ways pays to rid land of stones. There
are instances in which we feel sure
that 1t does not pay.
The other day we passed . big
plowed field in Wisconsin where the
farmer had used the harrows and was
then busily engaged with hired hand
in collecting and hauling OF { round
stones of the cobble-stone type that
were everywhere to be seen lying upon
the newly turned surface. says A. S.
Alexander, in Farmers Review. The
land was rolling and as the train
passed through cut we saw that the
field being operated upon was really q
deep bed Of coarse gravelly clay. The
entire depth Of soil was composed of
stones and clay, so that removal of
one layer of surface stones could not
possibly benefit the surface soil con-
dition for any great length of time.
Each blowing and narrowing followed
by rains would be sure to bring as
many stones to the surface as were
there before, and one might keep
clearing of each year for generation
without removing them all or doing
any great. amount of good. The work
of stone gathering and removal was in
this case to our mind waste of labor
and money, and 1t is questioned il
the stones by gradual disintegration
or weathering do not produce the
plant food upon which crops feed.
On bowlder clay, where the stones
are very large and comparatively
scarce, 1t certainly pays to get rid of
them by use Of dynamite or other
means. Such rocks are of little value
and are nuisance to the plowman or
when moving or harvesting, and
should be hauled out to the fence line
as soon as they can be dislodged.
Where the land is naturally stony its
fertility is liable to be associated with
the presence of stones and their re-
moval may prove detrimental. although
work may be facilitated for a time by
their absence. The subject is of some
interest and we would like to have
the experience of men who have made
it their practice each spring to get rid
OF as many surface stones as possible
upon land that is naturally filed with
them.

which Ronald, contrary to the usual
