Kansas Farmer Notes.

1t is good plan TO separate the
weaker and late-hatched chicks from
the strong, early-hatched ones. The
latter are apt to override the weak
ones and deprive them of their share
of the feed. BY feeding them sep
arately, you can besure that the little
ones have enough to eat and they
ought to be fed all they will possibly
eat, so as to be strong and healthy
before the winter sets in.
Many of the farmers who lock with
disdain upon anything less than big
acreage OF field crops or large herds
and flocks might make more net profit
from poultry run upinto the hundreds
of dollars per year, yet their chickens
do not take any big place in their
farm operations. Those who prepare
for the production OF eggs In winter,
just as the progressive dairyman plans
for the heaviest butter production
when prices are highest, are making
money. This winter eggs are going
TO be higher in price than they have
been for years.
A dairyman considers his market to
be the place where he disposes CT his
milk, cream or butter, and In one
sense this is true, but tue place where
ne markets such of the products of his
farm, as grain, hay and silage, is the
dairy COW. The efficiency of the COW
consuming these must therefore bear
vital relation TO the dairyman's
profits. If in a town having two
grain elevators, one paid one-half cent
bushel more than the other, no
farmer would be foolish enough to sell
bis grain to the one paying the lower
price. Yet dairymen will persist In
keeping cows year after year that are
paying them only 20 cents a bushel
Tor grain, while Others in the same
herd, or that can easily be obtained at
reasonable price will pay fifty cents
4 bushel or even more for the grain
they consume. The difference In
price which Individual COWS are pay
.ng for their grain is not so apparent
IS the difference at the elevators,
lut it is none the less actual aud effects

end. As an illustration OF the great
difference in individual cows, n-tice
the records of some of the cows in the
dairy herd at the University of
Illinois.
The first thing of Importance that
any farmer has to deal with is the
knowledge of his soil. On this has
hinged more success and more failure
than on any other kind of knowledge
connected with farming. Some soils
NAV indeed be so rich that one is
sure to get good results from 1t,
but most OF our land is not of this
character. Although farmers have
titled the soil since the time when
the race began to develop agriculture,
yet the soil is the least known thing
on almost any farm. The very idea
of studying the soil is one that has
not yet taken deep root. Most men
cannot tell what it is their soil lacks,
and they ge on year after year making
the same blunders. In the pas, the
farmer was justified in not knowing
the components of his soil, because
science had not yet taken up the
matter OF soil composition. But now
it is different, and it is possible for
every man to become thoroughly
acquainted with the soil on which he
is trying to make living. The farm
papers are full of information regard
ing soils. The man who will read
aud think can know.
Ten cow9 that average eco pounds
of butter-fat per year produce as
much as twenty cows that average
only $50 pounds per year, says
WalIace's Farmer. Ten cows require
only half the stable room; they
consume more feed per COW, but not
nearly twice as much, the labor OF
akiug care OF them is only half as
great and the labor Of taking care Of
their products is somewhat less

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

The Oklahoma City Times points
a moral and adorns an interesting
tale in some vigorous comments on
the career of B. F. Yoakum, who
has recently acquired control of the
"Katy" system and thus become
the head of three principle lines
lraversing Oklahoma. The gist OF
the comment is contained in the
advice to all ambitious young meu
to "Yoakumize themselves ny
following the example Of thrift,
energy, honesty and efficiency
when has brough. this railroad
manager such remarkable success.
Mr.. Yoakum was born in poverty.
He was even born in Texas, and
in a sparsely settled portion OF the
Lone Star state at that. lie earned
almost his first money selling truit
trees, travelling in blackboard all
over the more promising sections OF
that expansive commonwealth.
Today he Is one OF the great
railroad maguates of the country,
living refutation of the pesSimistic
cant that all the big opportunities
l.. America have been ''goboled up"
by The "tauff barons." the financial
octopi and the malefactors of great
wealth. The secret OF his success,
Just as it has been the secret OF
every other career like his, was that
he outgrew his successive ventures.
He sold So many trees that he
became too big for the tree
business. Scores of simllaf
examples could be cited. Only the
other day a former pack peddler
died almost a millionaire, one or
the greatest merchants in Kansas
and the leading spirit In the mrs.
development of Excelsior Springs.
If more young men would buckle
down steadily to business. instead
of watching the clock and envylng
the prosperity of the boss, they
would stand a much better chance
of becoming railroad magnates,
merchant princes or captains OF
industry, Let them Yoakumize
and Harrimanize and Ettensonize
themselves and they will find that
success in greater or less degree
mas been calling for them all the
time. At leas', they will fail while
trying, instead of failing to try, and
will have the comforting conscious
ness that they did their best.

STEEL TRUST AND BEER.

"Drink gets man ifhe takes too
mucb, but what's the harm in as
mild beverage as beer" is one OF
the arguments you hear.
Well, here is what the United
States Steel Corporation (steel trus')
thinks about it. That company is
investing 10 million dollars in the
purchase of the nine breweries OF
Fayette county, Pa, where some OF
its coke ovens are located. 1t wants
to control the beer drinking
of the employees, and is going into
the brewing business to do SO.
These alleged facts are given as
leading the company to SO radical
a move: that for II hours after
every pay day the coke ovens can
not be run to more than two-thirds
their capacity. There are not
enough employees fit to work them.
That there is scarcely pay day
when hundreds Of tons Of coke are
not ruined. And that IS per cent
of the crimes committed in the
county occur within "a hours after
pay day.
These are decisive with the steel
trust. 1t expects, according to the
report, to get 8 per cent better
returns on Its capitalization IN
Fayette county. If it can control the
beer business. The trust does not
intend to close up the breweries,
nor to STOP drinking by its employees,
but to stop the sale of beer by the
keg and by the barrel, and promote
temperance among its as,o
workers In that locality.

SHOFS HIGHER IN SITE OF

The New York "fimes' prints

The article says that great many
nson,e are wondering that, with the

Tariff phe price of prepared
leather is advancing instead OF
falling" The article then proceeds
to say that the Tariff has nothing to
do with the matter, that 1t IS sole'y
one of supply and demand and a, !,
the present time the demand
exceeds the supply.
The truth that has thus oeei'
revealed in the case of leather ana
shoes was often pointed out by
those who were opposed to the
removal of the duty. Their predie-
tians that the cost of shoes would
not be lowered is coming true anu

THEIR LIVES FOR OTHERS.

Inc WOrlQ Tor scores OF years mas
rung with the story of the heroism
of Grace Darling, but tales OF
generous and self-forgetting courage
ON the part of other young women
might be written In letters just as
large and bright. Such story was
told in the distressing accident at
Loretto academy last week, when
two young women gave up their
lives for others just as nobly as
though they had been laid, willing
sacrifices, upon some altar IN the
old days and just as nobly as any
deed of human sacrifice is performed
today.
Both the victims of the unhappy
affair might easily have escaped
injury if they had placed their own
safety before that OF their com
panion whose misstep was the prime
cause of the catastrophe. They
were hardly more than children and
they might have been pardoned an
obedience to the natural and primi
tive impulse of preservation. They
might have been pardoned the
other natural impulse of their sex
and years-to become hysterical
and flee from the red peril of the
fire. "Save qui peut" has been
the principle on which countless
thousands of strong men, from the
individual who runs from an enemy
or a danger to the regiments,
battalions and armies which have
fed in the face of defeat.
But these brave girls, even though
they might have not known they
were facing certain death, yet with
splendid forgetfulness of theli
own peril and animated solely by
the thought of aiding their CON
panion, faced the terrible risk which
resulted in hours of agony and death
at the end. The bereaved families
of these girls have at least the
consolation Of knowing that their
daughters died like heroines who
were as brave as any whose names
are written in the letters of history,
Christ said that ''greater love hath
no man than this, that he giveth mis-
life for his friend" and Christ did
not use the term in any sense of sex.
Mr.. Carnegie's medals would be
weak and paltry seals to be stamped
upon sucn heroIsm as that, and the
stones that shall rise above the
graves of these girls, brave to the
death, will be only the perishablc
monuments to courage the memory
of which years cannot corrode-
