POSER FOR THE OFFICE BOY.

The typewriters we're rafting in
the newspaper office, when suddenly
the monotony was broken by the
jingle of the telephone bell. The Of
flee boy, eager for work, sprang for
ward and put the receiver to his ear
'SYou wanter know the longitude
of Louisville?' he inquired, with a
puzzled expression on his face, after
the party at the other end had
preached his question. The boy
looked over those assembled in the
room with an anxious look, as if try
ing to single out a certain face. He
then turned to the telephone and
said:
every sorry, sir, but the sporting
editor is out, but if you call up here
in an hour he can tell you all about
the Louisvilles. They're batting
way up there, but I don't exactly
know their longitude" Louisville

HERE SURELY is THE LIMIT.
AS the Girl Said, She Liked Dogs,

in Combination.

"Since the word limit became
popular slang I have heard many
things called the limit, but not one
of them was it," said the young
woman. cit remained for me to
run the real bona fde limit to earth.
l found it the other day. [ called
on woman who I had heard want
ed someone to come in twice day
and play the piano half an hour at
luncheon and dinner. I agreed to
come, for I naturally supposed the
music was wanted as an accompani-
ment to her own meals or her child
ren's meals OF the meals of some
other human beings. But that
wasn't what she meant at all. I
was taken up into kind of luxuri-
GUS kennels on the third floor and
asked to play softly while half a
dozen dogs of high degree Tapped
up their food. The dogs liked music,
their mistress said, and enjoyed
their meals more when they had it
to eat by. Limit? Well, rather. I
like dogs and I like music and l like
money, but the combination formed
a limit that I just couldn't face, 30

Agricultural Department.
Edited BY F. W. Bowen.

In a paper prepared for the
Farmers Institute and published
In the Fowler Gazette, Mr.. R. S.
Hartman asked how it was pos
sible for a poor man to put the
Campbell System into operation?
I would answer: By operation
upon small scale; and to prove
my condition l cite the following:
EIGHTY ACRES VS.. ONE
In April 1909, Bowen and sons
planted eighty acres to milo
maize. The ground used had
been broken in 1907, and disked
and seeded to cane in 1908.
Failing to get stand, we disked
the ground down and seeded
again. The first time we used a
lister, the second time a corn
planter. The second seeding
brought a stand, but before long
the drouth got the maize. If the
crop had been cut, the whole
yield wouldn't have been worth
twenty dollars. At reasonable
prices, the cost of the work would
have been as follows:
Listing 80 acres @ As cts
per acre $4,000
Disking 80 acres @25 cts
per acre 5000
Replanting 80 acres (9 20
cts per acre 1000
Total loss $500
The field was not cultivated
after the second planting for the
reason that the dry weather pre-
vented the growth of either
weeds or maize.
r On the other hand: Stephen
Wenta titled one acre by the
Campbell System. 1 don't know
that he followed the instructions
to the letter but suppose he did,
in which case the following esti-
mates would be approximately
correct.
Fall double disking l
acre 0 so cts so cts
Spring double disklng
l acre @ so cts SO cts
Ten borrowings 1 acre
@ 10 cts LOO
Flowing 1 acre @ $50 $50
Packing 1 acre @ Is cts IS cts
Seeding 1 acre G As cts As cts
Cutting 1 acre (9 $50 $50
Total cost $50
The crop made 81 bushels to
the acre, which we will suppose
netted sc cents a bushel or S43.-
&c. The difference between the
selling price and cost of crop
gives $38. 16, the profit. Now it
may be objected that the illus
tration is not practical on the
ground that Wenta had more
rains than Bowens; which is
true-but it is also true that if
Bowens had properly conserved
what moisture they had had in
two years, they too might have
had fifty bushel wheat. How
much better it would have been
for Bowens if they had properly
titled one acre instead of scratch
ing over eighty.

so on until all their land is
brought under the sway scientific
culture and their farms made to
prove that in no part of the coun-
try can farming be conducted so
successfully and proftably as
are the semi-arid plains of west
ern Kansas.
The recent rains have packed
and smoothed the surface of our
prize ground. Knowing this to
be an imperfect condition and
never having had experience in
fall or winter narrowing, we
wrote to Mr.. Campbell for in
structions. The following is his
answer:
Lincoln, Nebr. Nov. "a, 1909.
Mr.. Frank w. Bowen,
Meade, Kansas.
Dear Sir:
Yours of the 18th has awaited
my personal attention, regarding
the narrowing of your wheat. 1t
should be narrowed as soon as
the ground is sufficiently dry so
the soil will not adhere in the
least to the harrow, although if
your wheat is just coming out of
the ground it is better to wait
until stooling begins little, but
in the case you refer to, excessive
packing, it is not wise to wait too
long.
Undoubtedly you have seeded
sufficiently heavy so that the de-
stroying of more or less of the
wheat would be an advantage
rather than detriment.
We regret the delay in answer
ing your favor. We shall be glad
to hear from you as you do the
narrowing act, to know the re-
suits and the comments of your
neigh bors.
Very truly yours,
THE CAMPBELL Soil CULTURE Co.
H. w. CAMPBELL,
President.

If man has capital enough to
farm at all, he has enough to be-
gin operations on the Campbell
System. Mr.. Hartman, like the
average western farmer, does not
recognize the full distin ction be-
tween the large acreage idea and
the Campbell plan. A man may
begin an forty acres; have no
equipment outside of a team,
plow, packer, seeder, disk and
harrow-and possibly he could
harrow some of those. 1 should
indeed dislike to see every farm
er in the county let all of his land
lay next year for summer tillage.
Our towns would sorry and their
merchants hungry-nor would
we the following year bring much
relief, because not one third of
the farmers understand the SyS-
tenn well enough to make It's first
trial a success. What l would
like to see. what would bring
wealth and prosperity, is for
every farmer to begin the sys-
tenn next year on 5, 10 or 20
acres, to increase to 10, 20 or 40
acres, the following season and

r. e. NORMAN lost a fine Dur
ham milk COW last week through
an uncommon accident. Direct
ly after the corn was shucked
out of the field he turned the
stock in. This COW seemed to
have made business of hunting
up dropped ears of corn, which
she ate. The very hard rains
and wind lately splashed guam
tity of and sand on each ear,
the COW had 40 means of separat-
ing the grain from the dirt, and
ate the ears as she found them.
The result being that she was
taken with spasms and in spite
of all efforts to relieve her died.
A post norton examination re-
vea1ed a gallon of sand in her
stomach.

AS a booster of the city and
country it is : dandy. It has
takenan immense amount of work
and cost pretty sum, but it is
we'll worth it. The News is one
of our best exchanges and we
congratulate brother Mil1man on
his success so far as making a
good showing for the city and
for his office, is concerned, and
we hope it has paid him well for
he deserves the reward of mer-
rits.
