A KANSAS CONTRAST

The well-fed legislators at Topeka
are spending money lavishly to make
more jobs for the appointment by
political BOSSES SO the latter can keep
in office; they are talking of Kansas
greatness and of it's rich agricultural
development.
Yet at the state school for the blind
and at the state school for the deaf
and dumb the poor unfortunate chill
dren instead Of having Kansas butter
to spread on their bread are furnished
eleomargarine from the packing
houses of Kansas City, Missouri.
Isn't that the limit of Kansas in

BOX UP THE GERMS.

The government will look to the
publication of the mails in a more
substantial way than simply throwing
out suggestive picture postal cards. 1t
has been discovered that while postal
authorities have been looking for the
undesirable post card, dangerous
germs have been holding carnival in
the mail sacks. No more can patho-
logical specimens of dangerous germs
be shipped through the mails unless
the little things are made secure
against escape. If you are thinking of
making anyone present of this kind
you should have a strong box made
for the gift-Wichita Beacon.

Does This Hit You?

The man who will leave a horse
tied on the street with the animals
head held in an unnatural and tortur-
ing angle by an overhead check, ad-
vertises himself as a cowardly cur or
an ignorant ass. 1t is apparent that
very few who employ the overhead
check understand its use or its facil-
ity as an instrument of torture. am
not one of those who say the over
head check is absolutely without its
uses, but observation on our streets
is painfully convincing that very few
understand its abuse or its capabilities
for torture.
1t is nothing unusual to see horses,
the finest drivers, owned by men
who think they are some shucks as
horsemen or fanciers, standing with
their heads held till the muscles in
the Threats of the poor animals are
most bursting with the strain, while
they vainly sway their heads in pa
thetic effort to find relief. 1t would
be a revelation to these same owners
if they would try five minutes of that
sort of strain on their own pin heads.
| sometimes smile when | hear such
owners reel off records, pedigrees
and other horse lore, imagining they
are horsemen. They don't know the
first principle of craftsmanship, which
is kindness and humane treatment
Any man who lacks that first essen
tial is no horseman, but a cruel bully
and a coward, because he tortures
an animal which will not be reveng
ed upon him.-Canadian Horseman

anu ctooAmnh
A gentleman of our acquaintance
called his four sons to him one day
and told them he was going to take
them to the river and teach them to
swim. The boys had always been
under orders not to 90 in the water
and the father assumed that his
wishes had been respected. When
it came time to enter the boys hit the
water head first and in unison swan
to the farther shore, distance of 100
yards, leaving the father standing on
the bank as lonesome as( clucking
hen that had taken a brood of duck
lings out for drink. Boys will be
boys.
The farmers and their wives are
finding out that they can take vaca-
ton occasionally without getting too
far behind with their work. The va
cation habit is one of the good habits
that some farmers need to acquire.
The indications are that some flu
ture generation Of farmers children
will wonder what is meant by the
term "city conveniences on the farm"
when reading old files of farm papers
dealing with questions of today.
A newspaper article informs us
that the inventor of rapid fire rifle
has perfected food that can be put
up in tablet form, small package of
which will sustain person for a long
time. The article does not state which
will be the more deadly, the rifle or
the food.
| A certain well known manufacturer
has sign over his desk which reads,
$50 live each day that can look
every man in the face and tell him to
go to-work." That strikes me as
being good sound philosophy.
A reader asks if we can name the

At intervals after the cigar leaf to-
baccO crop has been harvested inquiries
are received concerning the right Of the
farmer to manufacture cigars for home
nse or to sell the tobacco to a person 9th
er than an authorized dealer or manu-
1acturer. For the information Of all
such persons an explanation Of the
laws and regulations Of the treasury
department has been obtained from
the Office Of the commissioner Of in
ternal revenue.
"Under existing laws" writes the
commissioner, IA farmer OF grower Of
tobacco has right to sell leaf tobacco
Of his own growth and raising to any
person in any quantity which may be
desired, provided the condition Of such
leaf tobacco has not been changed in
any manner from that in which It was
cured on the farm. The manufacture
az cigars in a small way by any per-
son for his own use and consumption
a permissible when the cigars are
manufactured solely for the use Of the
person making them and are not re-
moved from the place OF manufacture
for consumption or sale. No taxes are
required. nor Is the person 50 manu-
6acturing required to qualify as a
manufacturer or make any reports
eUnless the person intending to man
ufacture cigars as above desired
should be a farmer or shall secure his
stock Of tobacco directly from the
FARMER all other sources Of supply
would be closed to him by the require
ment Of the law, which provides thai
dealers IN leaf tobacco shall sell only
20 other dealers and to manufacturer
of tobacco or cigars or to such persons
as are known to Be purchasers OF Leaf

Dipping nursery stock In lime sui

struction without injuring the trees.
With the sulphur wash, exposure of
the trees for too long a time or at too
high temperature resulted in injury.
while with any Of the materials used
exposure of the roots to the mixture
resulted in serious injury to the stock.
For nurserymen the station still rec
Ommends fumigatiOn as most effective
and least liable to injury and would
advise orchardists to use the lime sui

rather than as a dip when they are re-

MONEY IN TRUCK FARMING.
Profit Of $4,000 In Seven Years II
Iowa.

Profit Of $4,000 In Seven Years u
Iowa.
The most sensational disclosure t.
agriculurists has just been made by
Francis Sestier Of Des AIolnes, Ia, 9
young man who has made SlS0Ol
worth Of permanent improvements on
thirty-two acre farm in the, last
seven years and paid for it all from
the product Of the soil. 1t is a demon
stration of what application VIII do.
Francis Sestier is the son Of a
French stonecutter, who came to Des
MOines In 1875 TO work on the con
struction Of the state capitol. But
stOnecutting Is an unhealthy business.
and one day he determined to quit il.
He bought a farm within sight Of the
golden dome Of the statehouse be had
helped to construct and struggled
along for years, paying of the mort
cages and at the same time raising a
family. Seven years ago he died, and
his son, Francis. took the active man
agement. 1t is he who has worked
the miracle Of the soil.
He has turned his farm into a truck
garden. which is now said to be the
finest truck farm west Of the Missis-
sippi river. The beauty Of his success
Is that, unlike truck gardeners Of the
east, he does not have to spend great
sums Of money for fertilization. Dur
ing all these years his fertilization has
not cost him more than 90 cents an
acre a year
Among the permanent Improvements
built since 1901 and paid for from this
small farm are an $1,000 house, under
which is a modern cold storage; a
steam pumping plant that draws wa
ter from the river a half mile away
and lifts It '45 feet into a monster res
ervoir and eight greenhouses.
Mr.. Sestier by his management is
making his farm yield a gross income
Of $500 or S4OO an acre. Like every
man, Mr.. Sestier can handle
some things better than others. To
matoes seem to be his favorite crop
he introduced the method Of raising
tomatoes on poles and plants 5000
vines to the acre, getting a yield Of
75O bushels OF perfect fruit that
brings the highest price on the market.
He makes as much as $500 on let
luce in year. Such figures for a
thirty-two acre farm IN Iowa are SEN
5ational. to say the least, especially
when they are made to come by the
son Of a French stonecutter vino
knew nothing Of agriculture and who
never attended an agricultural college
