Burning Ashes With Coal.

How to economizc is question
that should concern all of as,
at times, it becomes necessary
with most Of us provided we
would stand square with the rest
of mankind. A plan to do on
half of the coal we now use
should, therefore, be of some in
terest to Plains people. How to
successfully burn slack coal is
known to most of us now, but
how to burn ashes with coal is
Il secret just out says a Penn
sylvania paper, describing the
process in this way;
John Ellmore's secret of burn
ing ashes with coal is out and
nearly every householder in AL
toona is now using it with great
saving in coal bills. Common
salt, one pound, OXalic acid, two
ounces, water, one gallon. Mix
and moiSten a mixture contain
ing one part of coal and three
parts ashes. This mixture will,
upon being placed upon a burning
fire. fuse into a cokelikc mass
and deposit but little residue.
The compound is now being
used in several large industrial
and mercantile places here, and
it is claimed for it that it has re-
duced the fuel item more than
half.

wants to do him a favor.
Ifhe's in politics, it's for pie; if
he's out of politics, you can't

WATER REQUIRED FOR CROPS.

1t is astonishing to find, even
among farmers, how much igno-
rance there is as to the amount
of water required to make crops.
People talk very glibly sometimes
about irrigating from windmills
as tho it was a very small matter
and, so it is, as the facts will
show-but contrary to the gen
eral belief.
Prof. Widstoe and Merrill, in
Bulletin No. 81 of the Utah Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, pa
ges 80, SO and 81 says.
I'm Europe and the Eastern
States. it has been found that to
produce one pound of dry plant
substance requires nearly 800
pounds of water. That is, one
ton of absolutely dry lucern hay
grown in a humid climate, is pro
duced at an expense of 800 tons
of water
in the drier climate of Utah,
more water is ordinarily required
to produce one pound of dry mat
ter. Experiments on this sub
ject, not yet published, indicate
that on the arid farms about $50
pounds of water will be required
to produce one pound of dry plant
substance.
The chief arid farm crop is
wheat. Grown without irriga
ton nearly one half of the wheat
consists of the seeds or wheat
kernels. Knowing that $50
pounds of water are required to
produce one pound of dry matter,
it may be calculated that it will
require 80 tons of water to pro
duce one bushel of arid farm
grain.
This seems very large
amount of water, yet when com
pared with the amount of water
that falls upon our soil in the
form of snow or rain it is very
small. For instance, Il rainfall
of one inch amounts to over 113
tons per acre, or more than
enough, if it could be used by
the plant, to produce two bush
els of grain. Twelve inches OF
rainfall amounts to 1856 tons of
water per acre, or enough to pro
duce q bushels of grain"
The plant food is in the soil
the water disSolveS and carries
it to the growing plant, which
retaining the food, it's carrier
! the water, passes off into the air
Here is where the Campbell sys
TEN of conserving the moisture
comes into prevent all evapora
ton save the one mentioned
through the plant itself.
The average Plains rainfall is
ample for crops, and good crops
if coupled with intelligent farm
ing.

FOR A NEW OFFICIAL.
City May Have a Sealer of Weights
and Measures.

To the council will be given an oppor-
tunity of deciding next week whether they
want to add another official to the list OF
those already serving the city.
The new office-Sealer of weights and
measures.
Mayor Green stated Wednesday after
noon that he would let the council decide
whether it cared to create an official po-
sition of that nature.
The question was brought home when
the council instructed the mayor to pur-
chase a standard set of weights and
measures and order the city food inspec-
tor, w. H. Gilfillan, to test all the
weights and measures of every kind in
the city.
A representative of the Howe Scale Co.
held a conference with the mayor and as
a. result it was discovered that it would
cost $500 for the city to install a system
of standard scales on which all weights
might be tested, together with a standard
lot of weights, yardsticks and liquid ana
dry measures.
"I didn't care to authorize such an ex-
peneiture and will refer the whole matter
back to the council. If they want to spend
that amount Of money it will be all right, =
said the mayor. What is needed and
what the council should do is to decide
whether they want to employ q man for
this work. There is enough work for one,
man to do it for he would have to go into
every house in Topeka, wholesale and re-
tail and test the weights. He would have
to make the test at least once each year
in every place of business. I hardly be-
lieve, though, that it would take all of
a mans time the whole year round. In
fact, 1 don't know whether there is much
call for the position. That will be UP to
the council"

Stuyvesant Fish Says Public
Confidence Must Be Restored.
Lack of 1t Is World Wide as to
United States.
THE RASCALS MUST GO
Corporations Must Clean Up
Their Own Premises.
Or Government Must Put the
LoOters i'm Jail.

New York, Nov. 2s.-That there
can be no restoration of public con-
fidence until the state and federal au-
thorities send to Jail the men who
have looted corporations, is the opin-
ion of Stuyvesant Fish, who returned
last night from Chicago.
AS has been foreseen and foretold,
the present crisis is due to utter lack
of confidence in corporate manage
ment as controlled and directed from
Wall street. "Such lack of commence
is worldwide" said Mr.. Fish.
ITO re-establish confidence abroad
we must first re-establish it at home.
and particularly in the agricultural
communities of the west and south
west, where the real wealth of the
country is annually taken out of the
soil in the shape of crops, lumber,
coal and other minerals.
'Tt has often been said that there
were two ways of avoiding this panic;
first, by the corporations purging
MISUNDERSTANDING their own
houses; second, by the strong arm of
the government putting some of the
ascals in Jail.
Neither the corporations nor the
government state or federal, has yet
acted efficiently, hence we are con-
fronted with a period of depression
in business which is real and wide
spread and must of necessity last I'M
til confidence is restored. This again
can be expedited by vigorous action
on the part of corporations or govern
ment or delayed Indefinitely through
inaction +"

FAKE BUTTERMILK.
1t Is Made of SKINNED Milk and Acid
for Chicago Consumers.

Chicago, Nov. 28.-Buttermilk dietar-
ians probably will be appalled, to learn
that the lumpy liquid which for years
mas been served in Chicago under the
general classification of "buttermilk, %
IS nothing more or less than mixture
of acid and skim milk.
H. E. Schuknecht, assistant state
food commissioner, has announced that
practically every. big dealer in Chicago.
comprised within the alleged milk trust,
makes a practice of distributing this
liquid in the guise of buttermilk.
Much Chicago "buttermilk," accord
by depositing a certain amount of Gull
ture Tactic acid bacteria in skim milk
the sort which commonly is looked upon
as the rightful property of pigs. The
mixture is churned to produce the
Jumps.
What the chemical substance of this
fake buttermilk is will form the sub
ject of searching investigation to be
made by the state pure food commits
sion.
In addition to raising the price of
milk and cream, the dealers In the al
legged trust boosted the price of butter
milk" at the same time. Butternn1lk
formerly sold at retail for five cents a
quart, now retails at six cents.
Sixty quasi-crimira suits against re-
tail milk dealers charging them with
selling milk below grade were nleo IN
the municipal court yesterday.
1t was rumored among milk dealers
during the day that several OF the Dig
dealers in the alleged milk trust are
about to put the price back to seven
cents a quart for milk and eight cents
a half pint for cream.

BACK TO THE RECEIVERS.
The Atchison Coal Mine Company
Abandon the Plant.

Atchison, Nov. 2S-Water has been
accommodating in the coal mine ever
since noon, on Saturday Last. 1t wasn't
necessary to lift out water to do the
cribbing and Strengthening unnecessary
to the shut down. A pen has been con-
structed around the bottom of the shaft
to prevent any lose tirnbers from float
ing around to smash up the tanks,
should the time ever come when the
mine can be put in operation again. All
the brasses are to be removed from the
machinery and stored away, to prevent
their being stolen.
1t is understood that the district Off
GERS of the miners union will meet the
miners here Friday, and hold a BAN
Quet.
The superstition is that the Citizens
Coal & Mining company, which is an
operating company, will shortly turn
the property back to the receiver, who
will hold it subject to the orders of
the court and the principal creditors.

KORAN is REVISED.
To Meet the Exigencies of the Plague
Situation.

Lahore. India, Nov. 2s.-The efforts
of the Indian government to stamp
out the plague have. up to the present
time been hampered by the refusal OF
the Mohammedans to evacuate the
infected villages on the ground that
they were forbidden by the Koran to
flee from the wrath of God" and full
ly quarter of a million deaths from
the plague among the Moslems have
been due to this belief.
But no wthe head of the Moslem
faith, urged thereto by the govern
ment, have issued proclamation
pointing out the untenability of this
idea and declaring that the Koran
expressly enjoins Mohammedans to
quit the places smitten by Allah with
fishing the proclamation broadcast.

AT the present time the law forbids
the union of this class of people, but
there is no way for the probate judge
to enforce it, A marriage license is

questions are asked except age, name

are leading in the fight for the amend
