Farmers will be glad to learn
that the Kansas Agricultural
College is prepared this year to
distribute, directly or indirectly,
10000 bushels of improved seed
wheat. In the last three years
over 5000 bushels have been sent
out from the College and now
about forty growers Ii various
counties have seed for sale. The
wheat this year will be of the
following varieties: Kharkov,
Malakoff, Turkey, Bearded Fife
and Defiance, all hard wheats;
and Fultz, Zirman, Fulcaster and
Mediterranean, soft wheats for
eastern Kansas; also about 1000
BUSHELS of Tennessee winter
barley for eastern Kansas. The
College wheat, thoroughly clean
ed and graded, will cost $2.O 90 per
bushel f o b. including sacks.
Wheat from growers in various
parts of the State, well cleaned,
will in most cases be sold at ST. so
per bushel, practically as good
wheat although possibly not so
well graded. It is the intention
this year to arrange for very
wide distribution and only about
fifty bushels will be sent to a
county and at first only five
bushel will be sent to any one
farmer. Address all CORES

Lonq FLIGHTS of Birds.

Birds of passage make their longest
flight somewhere near Boring strait.
A naturalist says that probably the
longest continuous flight made by the
feathered travellers in their peregrt.
nations is accomplished by some OF
the shore and water birds that nest
in the islands of Boring sea and spend
the winter at Hawaii and Tanning isl.
and, 1900 miles away. AS some of the
birds live entirely on the shore and
are probably unable to rest on the
surface of the water, they must &C.
complish the whole distance In a
single flight, yet they make their way
to their destination with absolute pre-.
cision. Among the lost birds of the
world 1t is likely that the Cornish
enough before many years will have
to be numbered. The bird Is becom-
ing scarce. The rock and the jack.
daw are ousting it from its habitat.
Curiously enough, in Lhassa 1t has an
almost perfect counterpart, so that
after its extinction has been complete
1t will still be in evidence to all In
tents and purposes.

WHY THE BLUENOSE?
NOVA SCOTIANS NOT FOND OF BE-
ING so CALLED.
Name, However, Has Stuck TO Them
Since Time Out Of Mind-Some
Explanations as to Its
Origin.

Those who dwell in the Canadian
province Of Nova Scotia are called
bluenoses. The name has stuck to
them since time out of mind, but how
they came to get 1t is matter Of con-
lecture. One thing is certain-they
don't like 1t.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry, and some will
offer the suggestion that the name Is
token that the blue blood shows.
When the French were driven out of
Acadia the fertile lands they vacated
were taken up by English colonists,
chiefly from Massachusetts.
The spirit Of revolt was strong then
in Boston and elsewhere in New Eng
land. Those who were loyal to the
king and taxes found 1t good oppor-
tunity to move, and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled.
1t may be that the blue blood shows
and that the name is a badge Of
honor, but most Nova Scotians don't
believe 1t, for they feel that 1t is a
term Of reproach.
"Why bluenose?" was the question
put to one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia.
"Why, after the bluenose potatoes,
of course" she said, land | think it's
mean to name people after potatoes"
Now, it's true that next to apples
potatoes form the greatest product Of
the rich Nova Scotian soil. And it's
also true that the bluenoses is the
bright particular star among the varie-
ties Of potatoes they raise in Nova
Scotia.
But the potatoes were named for
the people, not the people for the po-
tatoes. It's a simple question of
chronology.
You explain 1t carefully to the young
woman and she says: "How silly Of
mel" but you can see with half an eye
that you haven't convinced her.
Here's another guess. Being the
third and last, maybe it's the right
one. At any rate it's the one generally
accepted in that part of the American
world known as Down East.
1t is cold in Nova Scotia, mighty
cold, for six months out Of every IL,
and the Nova Scotian nose peeking out
from the furs and wooden muflers
first gets red and then turns blue as
the icy breath Of the north nips it.
But, however it is, the easiest way
to put the Nova Scotia nose out of
Joint is to dub 1t bluenose.

A Delicate Touch.

Old Miss Bugbee was very deaf, and
very sensitive about her infirmity.
Such was her natural cleyerness and
ingenuity, however, that she usually
escaped from serious embarrassment;
and she always so yehemently
scorned ear-trumpets and devices Of
mechanical nature that her friends no
longer dared to suggest them to her.
But on one occasion things went not
according to schedule.
"She came In to borrow some maya
zines yesterday" said Mis-. Russell,
who lived next door, "jtst after the
piano-tuner had gone. He'd been here
all the morning, making such an out.
rageous racket that I felt sure even
Miss Bugbee would be annoyed. But
she hadn't been, not a mite.
IT said to her: Miss Bugbee, I wish
you could hear my daughter Sarah
play some time. We all think she's
improving
Il Just meant hoped she'd drop in
some time when there were folks here,
and we were having music But she
