TRANSCRIPT PLAYS
 YALE PROFESSOR

Following the comment of Professor tSchevill of the chair of Romance Lan- guages at Yale university, in which the professor blamed the Catholics for the shooting of Professor Ferrer in Spain a few days ago, the Catholic Transcript in it's current issue, criti- cizes the Yale mans utterances very caustically, in column editorial.
 The article is headed "A Romance Professor" After alluding to the fact that Professor Schevill says that the Roman Catholic church is to blame for Ferrer's death, the article goes on to say that before Prof. Scheviil shall finally affix his condemnation to the hierarchy the Transcript may be par doned for asking him for some light upon his set of facts
 It then asks if he has conclusive evidence at hand that the bishops on the spanish peninsula have been plot ting for the ruin of the progressives, and if so, he should produce it at once. It further asks if he has final conclusive evidence that the bishops have been seeking Ferrer's death.
 The editor hastens to assure Pro- lessor Schevill that there are many thousands of people not far from Yale university that will regard this as gross islander and a foul blot upon the institution with which Prof. Sche- vii! $ associated.
 It concludes by saying that Catho- lie students of Yale should ask for an explanation of the professors state ment.

Why They Don't Lay.

Many who keep hens are asking
themselves just about now why their
pullets don't lay, when the fact is that
a lot of their young stock was hatch
ed too late, or was not given proper
food and care during growth. The
size and general appearance of a pull
let does not always denote the time
when she should commence producing
eggs. l have seen flocks Of pretty
big nice pullets and they would lay
hardly an egg all winter. The first
essential for winter eggs is the right
kind of stock to produce them. Food
Will not supply that want; it may
help some and in some instances it's
pretty difficult to help the matter very
much by giving extra care. The strain
has got to be of the right sort if they
prove themselves reliable and profit
able layers. After being in the poul-
try business so long and seeing so
many people fuss and experiment and
work in the effort to get eggs from
stock that had no eggs to lay, no in
clination to make eggs or ability to
commence to get ready to lay, it is
impressed all the stronger upon my
mind that there is a whole lot to this
hen business besides feed and care

In July. 1864. General Grant blew
up part of General Lees lines in
front of Petersburg. Va. with a mine.
In his "Reminiscences" William l..
Royal describes the scene and the he
roism of brave soldiers.
Lee had known of this mine for
some time. and had concentrated an
artillery fire on the point that made
it simply impossible for any troops to
come through the zap made IN the
lines until he was able to reinforce
the point.
Two brigades of Mahone's division.
the Virginia brigade and the Georgia
brigade, were brought up by covered
way TO retake the position then occu-
pied by large force of Union troops.

was perfectly successful.
Just as poor old Weisiger had got
possession of our lines and of every
thing in them. he was shot through
the body. He was carried back to the
covered way, to where Malone was.
Malone said. "Weisiger. why are you

Are Farm Land Prices Too Hight
How long Will the price of farm
lands continue to increase? Just so
long as the price of farm products con-
tlnue TO Increase, and these prices will
remain firm so long as labor finds
steady and profitable employment. In
no other country in the world is la
Dor so we'll rewarded as here. Where
prices are low, wages are necessarily
low. The man who receives liberal
returns for his work can buy liber-
ally, and can pay fair price. There
seems to be no probability that in
dustrial conditions will be radically
changed in this country soon. The
people generally are too we'll satisfied
with them. Good markets may. there
fore. be expected to continue indef-
nitely.
Farm lands which may be relied on
to product satisfactory crops of grain
and grass are not selling too high.
Land which. with proper management,
will produce from 60 to 100 bushels of
5O-cent corn per acre is we'll worth
$50 an acre or more. There is large
amount of such land in Kansas and
adjoining states.
The sure way to increase the value
of land is to increase its productive
ness. Under existing conditions prices
will take care of themselves. The
days of large SURPRISES are past De
mand crowds close upon the heels of
supply. Mouths are multiplying faster
than food for them.-Kansas Farmer.

Value of the Home Market.

Farmers should encourage their
home town, to build up a good home
market for their dairy and poultry
products, fruit, vegetables and many
things that sell far more profitably at
home than they could by shipping
them away. Here is where the French
farmers gain their prosperity; they
have good home markets, where they
market everything at high prices di-
rect to their customers in their
thrifty home towns and villages.
Towns can be revived by the farm
FRS and merchants working together
to get new industries, and the home
market soon develops for all the farm
products that make prosperous com
munity, and as the town grows the
farms increase in value.-Inland

The value of the manure that is an.
nually produced in Kansas has never
been measured, but it will probably
compare favorably with the value of
some of our greater field crops. Wheat
raising has made Kansas famous, but
this fame has cost the State heavily
in the depletion of her soils. The
vast area of the wheat belt is con-
tracing each year, and the rotation
of crops is beginning in earnest. The
chief cause Of this depletion of our
soil wealth lies in the continuous rob-
bing of the soil without ever feeding
it, Live stock farming will save this
section and restore its fertility Ma
nure and rotation of crops mean
money-Kansas Farmer

An English coachman, lone OF the

Parry had then recently been appoint
ed Bishop Suffragan of Dover.
Another story he used to tell Of a

stablemen were not in the habit of

man about it,
