PIGEON TALES ExAGGERATE
Experiments in England Show That

ute-Good Time in Race !

So many wild statements are
made as to the speed of a carrier
pigeon that it is interesting to
learn how fast it can actually
travel under the most favorable
conditions. On a recent Saturday
between 100000 and 100000 birds
were tossed in competitions in
various parts of the country, and
some thousands of these feath-
cred athletes raced to London
from Retford and Branston, jour
neys of 127 and LIS miles respec-
lively. The conditions were ideal,
the weather was beautifully clear
and fresh wind was blowing to
help the birds on their way; and
yet under such favorable circum-
stances few Of the birds attained
a speed of a mile a minute, which
in these days of quick locomotion
is beginning to be considered COM
paratively slow, relates London

VALUABLE PUBLICATION.
Book for Farmer, Stock Raiser
and Fruit Grower.

An Agricultural Log Book. prepared
at great expense by the Central Publish
ing Company, in the Manufacturers, Ex-
change Building, consisting of reputable
"up-to-date" Kansas Cityans, soon to ap-
pear, is not only novel in its design, but
replete with valuable information. espe-
cially for all classes of tanners, breeders
and raisers of all kinds If domestic ami
mails; for dairymen, fruit-growers and
others; with carefully written instructions
as to various civil laws in which all
wealth-producing classes are personally
interested and with many strictly legal,
blank and detachable forms of bills of
sale, leases, mortgages, notes. receipts.
warrantee and quitclaim deeds. wills, etc.
One of the most prominent features of
the work is its systematic, easily under
| stood, common sense and decidedly COM
plete arrangements for recording all kinds
of business transactions universally COM
mon among farmers and stock raisers,
giving inventories of articles owned, and
all liabilities at time of commencing busi-
ness; clearly exhibiting at the close of
each year the results of all kinds of in
vestments, purchases and sales; explain
ing how aud when entries of all "debts'
and 'credlts'' are made; how gains and
losses are aseertained interest aud other
tables. with much additional information
to housekeepers, gardeners. and others. It
is evidently work not only of merit, but
of genius its whole ''make up" is meth
odical, clear, scholarly and attractive; its
authors certainly have the one thing re-
quired in such an undertaking, COM

edge OF the whole field presented; while
their full purpose is to enable each farmer
using it to know just where he is in his
business at all times, as the mariner does
by the aid of his compass and chart on
uncertain seas. 1t is simply mammoth
production. not in size, but tsigni6cance,i in
evidence of which several of the largest
publishing companies in the United States
presented bids for its publication, but the
contract for many thousands of copies
was finally given to Messrs. Hudson &
Kimberly of this city, who are regarded
by many as the most artistic as well as
reliable publishers in the great West.
The Central Publishing Com pany,
which owns and controls the work, has
ample means to bring it speedily and
successfully To the front, and to give pro
fitable employment in its introduction
and sale to thousands anxious and de-
serving.
We wish the company great success in
placing the work in the home of every
farmer, stock-raiser. dairyman and fruit
grower In this fair land of ours, as s.im-
illus not only to greater efforts of indus
try, but especially to the keeping before
him complete history of every business
transaction in which he may be inter-
ested.

had no better wearing apparel
than calico wrappers, and the
baby in the company possessed
but one dress, and that had seen
much wear.
