are lower. Reports suggest fewer
hogs on hand than last fall, the
high price of corn, and dread OF

sued his last final crop report
for the year as follows:
Alphabetically, this has been
; Kansas greatest year, and in no
preceding twelve-monthS have thu
returns from the farms been so

yields were creditable compared
with those Of former seasons the
unparalleled showing of values
this year must be attributed in
large measure to the high prices
that prevailed for wheat and
corn especially 8 a
This years farm products and
live stock reach the unprecedent-
ed value of $475,2H,831, or SILL
596,24 in excess of the best priOl
year, which was 1907. The value
OF the field crops, on slightly d.
minished areas, was more by $24,
O75,651, than on those of last
= year. A heavy decrease is re-
corded in the value of the prod
ucts Of live stock, the single
item of animals slaughtered or
sold for that purpose being less
by $,447,OOO In the aggregate,
the live stock on hand was worth
practically the same as in the
year preceding.
The field crops of this year
were worth over A per cent NOR
than those of the years of 1893,

Dr.. 7odd's Joke.

An amusing example Of the Irish
mans pronunciation occurs in Il story
told of the late DIR. Todd, the Irish
archaeologlst, who, although a great
scholar, was not above penetrating
practical joke. The London Spectator
tells the story and says:
A very learned Englishman went to
Dublin to examine some manuscripts
in the library of Trinity college and
was of course introduced to DIR. Todd,
who one day in conversation told him
that there was in Trinity college Gu
rious instance Of the survival of Il habit
dating from the time Of the Danes; that
at certain hour of the afternoon-I
think 6 oclock-a porter went the
round Of the college ringing a bell and
calling out In loud voice, "The Danes
In the hail." when all the students
rushed from their rooms to repel the
invaders. So the learned but some
what incredulous Englishman repaired
to the college at 6 o'clock, and, sure
enough, what DIR. Todd had told him
came to pass, which he grayeiy related
on his return to England. The sum-
mons of course referred to the dean.
