trades. In a single colony among them
you will find civil and marine engi-
neers, woodchoppers. raftsmen. labor
ers, quarrymen. miners. plasterers.
masons. carpenters. hodcarriers and
fishermen. All beavers take contracts
for building dams. but when the work
is undertak ken the task is so divided
that each member of the colony has its
own particular work to look after. In
thiss way they make some wonderful
excavations and construct their dams
in an incredibly short time.

Robin Hood was all myth, and
the greenwood that he lived in

old Samson was baldheaded and
the woman had no shears, and he

Gov. HoCh on Kansas.

In it's edition of last Sunday,
celebrating it's twenty fifth year,
the New York World printed
brief articles by governors of
different states. Here is what
Governor Hoch had to say about
Kansas:
When the World was born
Kansas had just attained it's ma
jority, but the new state was
still largely in a formative condi-
ton. Its resources were unde-
veloped and comparatively little
known. It was the target of
every sharpshooter in the coun-
try. Every ambitious archer
with a poisoned arrow in his
quiver'let it fly at Kansas. Every
jaded jester was rejuvenated as
the favorite haunt of the vo-
racious grasshopper and the fes-
tive cyclone, while drouths were
paraded as perennial and it's pop
ulation pictured as lot of short
haired women and long-haired
men.
No state has been so persist
emily mlSrepreSented and so
cruelty caricatured, but Kansas
is today relatively, I believe,
without a peer in distinctive
American Characteristics, in
general intelligence, in moral
fiber and in material prosperity.
It's grasshoppers are legendary
and it's cyclones myths. It raises
more wheat than any other state
in the Union; it leads in alfalfa,
the plutocrat of plants, little
known twenty five years ago.
Uncle Sam, who is a good
bookkeepr and who is certainly
impartial toward his nieces in
the sisterhood of states, informs
me that for period of five years
Illinois alone seriously competed
with Kansas in the aggregative
value of it's corn~and wheat, and
that great state fell behind $19,-
600. 900.
Kansas ships more fat cattle
to market than any other state
in the Union It's salt deposits
have no equal. Its oil and gas
seem inexhaustable
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1908-07-04

loss like the old time stockman
who turned his cattle out to hus-
tie for themselves all winter.
The increased value of the stock
properly raised amply repays
for the additional outlay and
labor. It will be many day be-
fore the land in this part of the
state is so nearly all in use that
pasture cannot be had for a
reasonable price. Not, perhaps,
for a herd of big proportions,
but for such a bunch of stock as
every farmer should have about
him.
There is now enough grass go
ing to waste in western Kansas
to bring wealth to our entire
population. Not to use this
grass is to neglect a great op-
portunity.
Allowing the grass to waste
benefits no one. A piece of land
which has grown grass for ten
years without pasturing is of no
more value than if judiciously
pastured- IF -pastured, the land
will be protected from prairie
fires. One fire does more injury
than pasturing for all time. We
would urge every farmer to be
growing some stock. It can be
done without in any way inter
ferring with the raising of grain
