r. e report from the dry land farm
last season proved that dry farming
in this locality can be carried on to
a complete success. On the expert
mental farm last season was raised
800 pounds Of beans on one acre, were
sold for 3h cents per pound and
brought $31.50. The one acre of corn
brought 1880 net, after paying for
the harvesting. On two acres of land
was sown forty pounds of Durham
wheat and sixty bushels Of first class
wheat was harvested from the two
acres. Two and one-half rows forty
rods long were planted to potatoes and
800 pounds OF potatoes were produced.
500 pounds of which were first class.
marketable potatoes. The experiment
AZ farm this season will be under the
management Of Joe Lambert who has
studied the art of dry farming and
VIII put some of his ideas into prac-
tice. Some six or eight acres have al
ready been sown to grain, the ground
having been thoroughly prepared ac-
cording to proper methods last sum-
mer and fall. Much better results are
expected this season.

PARTRioeEs FOR KANSAS.

Ieavenworth Tribune.
After distributing several hundred
pairs of English pheasants through the
state last fall, State Fish and Game
Warden Del Travis is now stocking
the state with Hungarian partridges.
So far only ten pairs have been re-
ceived in Shawnee county. 1t is
thought that Shawnee county's share
will be considerably increased above
this figure.
1t is thought that the Hungarian par
tridges will prove more successful in
Kansas than the English pheasants.
The partridges are being imported di-
rectly from Hungary. where the sea
sons are as severe as they ever are
in this state. They are good game
birds and hardy.
The Hungarian partridges greatly
resemble the native quail, but are
omewhat larger birds. Their plumage
is not as bright as that of the quail.
The hens lay about fifteen eggs every
spring. which they hatch out If the
season is long and open they will
hatch two broods a year. the same as
quail.

But now, It's bridge whist, and the
stakes they play for would make some
of the old-timers who thought they
were pretty sporty sit up and take
notice.
Here is an accurate account OF a
game that was played few weeks
ago:
"a wen known house, the head OF
which comes from the neighbofhood Of
Chicago. has branch office in hotel
not far from Thirty-fourth street and
Fifth avenue. A bridge whist game is
played there every afternoon. The
plungers of Wall street know 1t and
gather there whenever they have
nothing better to do.
"One afternoon 1t happened that
they were shy of player. A man
who has comfortable income str3ll-
ed in. know the chap. and his in
year.
"He is not spendthrift, and he Is
careful not to exceed his income. In
fact, he always makes 1t point to
keep inside of 1t.
HE was asked to take hand in
the game and he did. No money is
ever passed in the game. The mana
ger of the office keeps track Of the
winnings and losings and the follow
ing day check is sent to the player
for what is coming to him or he gets
q bill for what he owes.
what will we play for, twenty
five or fifty po.nt?" asked one Of the
players when this young fellow took
his seat.
"T make It iule never to play
for more than twenty-five" sail the
stranger, who had never played Chere
before.
THAT was satisfactory to everybody
and the game started. Well. when
they got through in about two hours
my friend figured out that he had won
about $500 and he was pretty much
pleased with himself"
