THE CHAUTAUQUA.

The Chanute chautauqua gave its
last number Saturday night. 1t
gave US a few high class entertain
ments and several that were rather
on the bum, 1t was all right as an
experiment but we think the guar
antors of the cash to secure this
chautauqua will not care to guaran-
tee another for next year. We are
sorry any body should lose any
money in an effort to furnish enter
tainment and instruction for Cha
mute people, but think there must
have been some money lost in the
enterprise.
The people did not take hold of
the project very enthusiastically and
it is doubtful if it will be attempted
next year.

HOT.

l should reckon? With the ther-
mometer every day for two or three
weeks reaching 90 to 90 in the shade
it is enough to make poor suffering
humanity wish for a little Whit of
those cool winds we kicked so about
along in May.
However there will be an end 10
this in course of time and next WIN
tef we will be clamoring for some of
this heathful sunshine that we seem
to have surplus of just now.
Corn on ground that is reasonably
rolling and that has been tended
carefully is very promising and with
a few more good rains properly
timed we will have quite a corn
crop but there is considerable of
corn on fiat land that will make
nothing. Some of it is being plowed
up already preparatory to getting
the ground in wheat.

GOT TO BE A CHANGE.

The average field of eastern Kan
sas has been growing crops for from
IS to IS years. In great many
instances, from 20 20 80 of these
crops have been corn and the rest
some crop that has been easier on
the land, though we speak of the
change as "giving the land rest. "
After this continuous cropping.
much of the land is not raising as
good crops as it used to, and some
are ungrateful enough to say the
land won't stand heavy cropping!
There has to be change in this
continual method of cropping with
gram. Iowa and Illinois found it
necessary to make changes, and the
time is right here when we should
ring IN and follow suit. We have
to get into the habit of changing
our fields from pasture to cultiva-
tion, and vice versa. The wornout
farms of the East, that will not sell
for as much as the buildings on the
farm cost, ought to be an example
to US. We should resolve never to
let our land get that low in crop
pT5duct;on.

PREPARING WHEAT GROUND

We use different methods of prepar
ing the ground for wheat at this sta
tion, depending upon the succeeding
crop and also upon weather condi
tions. If wheat follows wheat our
usual method is 20 plow early, as soon
after harvest as possible, usually by
the first Of August. The harrow fol-
lows the plow aud at intervals OF ten
days to two weeks, and after every
hard rain, the land Is either Acme
narrowed or cultivated with the disk

legged it is best to watch, the cats.
Once in awhile tame old pussy, that
has had the best of feed all her life,

gun is the simplest and surest rem
edy, after the evidence is conclusive.
How many of our folks salt their
poultry reguarly2 We doubt if very
many do. A number of poultry ex-
perts are now saying that salt is as
necessary in the feeding of poultry
as for cattle or horses, but it should
be fed in a different manner. Many
recommend giving it in the form of
brine, lightly sprinkled over any
grain that is fed. We want to say
a word against putting salt in drink
ing water, however. We know pos
itlvelp that it may lead to fatal re-
suits. Care should even be taken
in emptying the brine from a meat
barrel where the chickens can get it
One cannot set down and let the
poultry raise themselves, yet many
seem to figure on this basis, think
ing that the only thing to do is to
get an incubator and hatch the eggs,
then, in few weeks, take the
springs and fries to market. Anyone
not willing to be on hand at regular
feeding time and always there during
a storm, need not expect to have
the best success with any kind, class
or variety of poultry. There is no
variety that will take care of itself.
There is work in poultry raising, the
same as in everything else, and the
more and better care and feeding,
the better the result, which is referr-
ed to by some as "luck,"
1t is very seldom that a person
mixes breeds in the spring but that
he is sorry for 1t in the fall. Sorry
for 1t when he looks at his mixed
lot of pullets-the grays, browns,
blocks, whites, speckled, spotted
and generally mixed. The poultry
yard of many who have tried the ex.
pertinent of "mixing 'em up" looks
like crazy quilt, and there are al
ways regrets for having done it,
when the result is compared with
neighbor's flock of solid uniform
colors. There is nothing quite so
pretty or satisfying to poultry ad-
mirer as flock of nicely feathered
chickens, all of one type and feath-
er. The one weo practices mixing
breeds never experiences this srtis
faction without going away from
home.

SOME USES OF SUET.

My pet household economy is US
ing suet instead of butter or lard in
much of my cooking and baking.
Fresh suet can be bought for 5 cents
or less per pound, and can be saved
from meats, there frequently being
more than is needed to use with the
meat. 1t keeps fresh long time,
and l fry it out in tae oven when
needed,
Suet is better than lard or butter
for making cookies or ginger snaps; !;
it makes good pie crust, and good
molasses, fruit or spice cake. Suet
pudding is a favorite dessert. 1t is
excellent for frying beefstesk, pots-
toes, croquettes or pancakes.
When frying doughuuts l buy a
small pail of lard, use little and
fill up the pail with melted suet;
keep using out and filling again with
suet. In this way one pail of lard
often lasts several months. al
ways grease all baking pans, cake
tins, bread pans, ETC., with melte d
suet, and find that | save dollars
every month in my family by this
economy alone, Mrs. Weaver.
