The Leader made the statement
last week that there was over $4,000
in city warrants registered with nc
money to a them. The editor pre-,
scented a small warrant to the city
treasurer on March 6 and the treas
urer said he would have to reglste!
the warrant as he had no money tC
paw it. The editor made the state
ment as above. Since that time the
city treasurer has received SlO0. from
the county treasurer, which has beer
applied on registered warrants. AZ
soon as the county treasurer gets his
books balanced up the city treasurer
will receive all the money due the
city. The total amount received DJ
the city treasurer at the March pay
ment last year was 81. GAP. q, and some
thing like that amount or a little
more will be paid the city treasurer
this month. We asked the city treas
urer how much was registered on the
9th of March and his answer was
81, O55.S1, this includes the $1,000 Dor
rowed for crossings. Out of the money
due the city 5000. goes into the sink
ing fund, so that there will be scarce
money enough to meet the registered
debt, to say nothing about the cur
rent expenses for the next six months
1t looks like trouble ahead for the in
coming administration, and heaveL
knows our taxes are high enough
now. We trust this statement VII
satisfy those who are alarmed ovel
our statement last week.

Gen. Trepoff, formerly governor-gener-
al of Moscow and lately commandant
of the imperial palace at St. Petersburg,
died Saturday Of heart failure. He was
the most cordially hated autocrat in all
Russia, and the Springfield Republican
says his greatest achievement was dying
a natural death. Six unsuccessful at.
tempts had been made on his life and he
will go down in history as the incarna-
ton of cruelty and tyranny in Gar
Nicholas troubled reign. His personal
courage was one of the good traits in his
character and in the midst of the anarchy
that prevailed he said to the Associated
Press correspondent, Il am no fool to
be ported in the street. have work to
do and propose to do it. have given
my word to my imperial master to
maintain the tranquility Of the city, and
/ will answer for the preservation OF
order with my life."

CONCRETE FENCE POSTS.

How a Colorado Ranchman Makes
Them at Little Expense. s5t
A cattleman named George Wright,
who has a ranch near Holly, Prowers
county, tells In Denver Field and Farm
how he cuts in half a big item in fence
building by making his posts Of con-
crete. "The cheapest fence post we
can get in eastern Colorado" he says,
"cost us 16 cents even when bought
in carload lots, which makes fenc-
ing an expensive luxury in the con
duct of a cattle ranch. Cement Is COM
paratively cheap, and we have sand in
unlimited quantities. About a year ago
/ hit upon the idea of making fence
posts of cement. I tried it and have
found by actual tests that fence posts
capable of lasting an age, which will
withstand the destructive prairie fires,
may be, made for 8 cents each.
MY men are now putting in all their
spare time making concrete fence
posts. The molds are Of very simple
construction. A level plot of ground is
selected, on which a floor is built of
inch lumber, laid on stringers. This
section of floor is as wide as the posts
are long, and along both sides and
ends are nailed strips of inch lumber,
making big fiat shallow trough.
Then crosswise are fastened other inch
strips five inches high or as high as the
posts are to be wide. They are placed
slightly diagonal that the posts may
taper from eight inches at the bottom
to four inches at the top.
Large spikes are then fixed along
the molds at intervals to make holes for
the wire fastenings, and then the molds
are ready to receive the concrete. In
mixing the concrete for fence posts no
crushed rock or gravel is used, but only
screened sand in proportions Of about
five parts Of sand to one of cement. It
is mixed dry at first, and then enough
water is added to make slightly fluid
substance. Pieces of barbed wire cut
the length of the post are then placed
In the mold, and the concrete is poured
over them and firmly tamped. @
"This wire serves to reinforce the
concrete and gives it greater resisting
power After lying about twelve hours
the concrete is set, and the posts are
ready to be taken out, while the molds
can be used for second batch. Owing
to the scarcity of timber in all parts of
the country, concrete is quite generally
used for building purposes; but, SO far
as know, am the first person to use
1t In making fence posts. / am very
well satisfied with my experiments and
intend to keep up the manufacture"

To Keep Flies OF stock.

In the midst of the fly season own
ers OF live stock will be interested in
the method successfully pursued by
DR.. Peters, veterinarian at the Nebras-
ka experiment station, for combating
the pest. He took an ordinary oil bar
rel and put into 1t wooden spigot,
using the barrel as a storage tank.
Two and half gallons of zenoleum,
with five gallons Of cottonseed oil,
were placed in the barrel and enough
water added to fill 1t. AS required, the
mixture thus formed was drawn from
the barrel and sprayed upon cattle and
horses or applied with a sponge or
cloth as occasion demanded. The con-
troll Of the flies was not only quite per-
feet, but 1t had one marked advantage
not possessed by most other mixtures
for the purpose in that the solution
was not greasy and sticky, but left the
coat of the animal in fine condition.
The mixture has the further advantage
of being very economical one, bar
rel of it being compounded at very
small cost

Each fall the state superintendent OF
education is asked to furnish teachers for
so schools or more. The school boards
in many of the towns prefer to trust to the
state superintendent rather than to their
own judgment. Each year the state
superintendent receives many appIica-
tions from teachers for schools. But in
spite OF these conditions it is difficult for
Supt. Stone to help either the teachers
or the schools. Over 80 per cent of the
applications for teachers. are from I'm.
graded schools, while over 80 per cent. of
the teachers seeking positions are grade
teachers. Another fact that is OF inter-
est, in the light of the platform advoca.
ted by the successful Republican candi-
dates for state Offices, regarding the
schools is brought to light in the pre-.
paration OF the biennial report OF the de-
partment of education. Throughout the
country, in cities and towns of a certain
population an average of between 10
and II per cent of school expense is for
school supervision. In Vermont with
the exception ola few Of the largest
places less than one per cent is expended
Tor supervision.

Use For sunaower Seed,

w
f. D. Coburn is thinking of issuing
a bulletin advising Kansas farmers to
devote little ground and a little time
to the culture of the Russian sunfow-
er. Mr.. Coburn has found that there is
good market in England and other
countries of Europe for the sunhower
seeds, which when ground and crushed
produce an oil that il used in the man
ufacture of the finest toilet soaps. Mr..
Coburn learned of this through a letter
from H. A. w. Corfeld Of London, who
asked that the names of farmers who
produce the sunfower seeds be sent to
him. Mr.. CorfeId is grain importer.
Mr.. Coburn started in to learn all
about the sunfower seeds because II
there was anything useful that could
be made from them be wanted to
know 1t and tell the Kansas farmer
about it.-Kansas City Journal.
