Strawberry Mulch.

Some strawberry growers, with an
eye to economy and convenience, have
at various times made the experiment
of growing strawberry mulch right
where it is wanted-in the patch. With
this end in view, they have sown
oats along and between the berry
rows, in late September, hoping to get
a moderate growth before winter.
This growth is sometimes secured all
right; and the theory is, that the oats
will be killed by winters cold and
will mat down over and around the
strawberries, as a mulch. But-and
it is a big "but"-such growth is Sc
cured at the expense of strawberry
growth, and we cannot indorse the
practice. Better grow mulch in a
separate place, and then cut, haul and
spread it on the berry patch when
needed.

SYSTEM OF FARM ACCOUNTS
Some Sort Of Record Advocated so
Farmer May Know What Crops
Are Raised at Profit.

We have never practiced nor do we
advocate any complicated form of
keeping tally of different fields and
crops, although we believe such a
system will richly repay the effort.
But what we do advocate is some sort
of a record whereby man can tell to
a practical certainty what crops are
being raised at a profit and what ones
at a loss. The simpler this can be
done the more practical 1t becomes
and the more likely to be continued.
In most cases the original entry may
be the final. Copying accounts from
one book to another, posting from
day-book or journal to ledger, is not
often successful with a farmer, nor
indeed is it favorite with any man
who keeps his own books. What.
ever method one adopts must be per-
sistently and regularly followed to be
of any value; the entries should be
made daily, writes E. c. Fawcett in
Oklahoma Farmer. The book or sheet
or map or whatever is selected should
be very easy of access, possibly hang.
ing in the barn. Next to simplicity
convenience is the most important
Now what will an individual crop
record or account show? In one case
1t taught man who started farming
with the presumption that a certain
crop was profitable, that four years
out of seven that same crop on his
land with his methods failed to pay
for the labor, fertilizer, seed and inter
est on the investment. That was all
he needed to know, not whether it was
highly profitable to his neighbors or
to some one else but whether 1t was
profitable to him. In another case q
crop the gross returns of which were
much lower than the first with but one
exception paid its own expenses.
Some difficulties arise in keeping
farm accounts. One of the most trou-
blesome is Just how much to charge
a crop when barnyard manure is used
as fertilizer. Manifestly a gross-feed-
ing crop such as corn will use more
manure than will such a crop as po
tatoes. Also some soils will help re.
tain ard continue the value of manure
much longer than others. In this lat
ter case the cost can be divided among
more crops than in the former. Each
man must work out a system of charg.
ing which he believes is Just. And 30
long as he is honest with himself and
his land and his crops he can do moth

Timothy sells for a higher price in

Base Ban.

The base ball business has been
sort of slipping since our last re-
port. We sort of went wrong
in the Lyons series on the home
grounds, winning the first game
by a score of 3 to l, losing the
second 4 to 2, the third 9 to 7,
and the fourth 2 to l. Monday
was an off day in the league. A
game was played between a pick
up team of amateurs Of this city
and the No. 4 team, the latter win
ming Z to 3. On Tuesday a four
game series was to have been
opened with Larned, but on ac-
count of the rain no game was
played, neither did they play on
Wednesday. At this writing the
team is in fourth place, and, al
though we continue to hope for
at least third place at the end of
the season, it is mighty doubtful.
On Sunday the team plays a trans
ferred game here with Lyons, the
to Lyons for three games, home
for four games with Mcpherson
and the season is closed.
Even if the team does not fin
ish as high up the ladder as we
had hoped for, let us still con-
tinue to boost for a big crowd at
the closing games and thus help
the financial end of the inStitu-
ton. We have had some mighty
warm ball games here this sea-
son and nearly every game play
ed on the home grounds was
worth twice the price Of admis-
sion.

Welcome Visitors.

This office this week was hon
Ored by a visit from two gentle
men that we were very glad to
see. One of them was Ernest
Tucker, sOn-in-law of Al Whit
cOmbe. Mr.. Tucker is state house
reporter for the Topeka Capital.
The other visitor was Frank jar
rell, late of the HOltOn Signal, VIII
last session, as for years in the
past, was doing the legislature
for eastern papers. Both gentle
men rendered the writer much as
SlStance in his first effort to rep
resent this county in the legiSla-
ture, and we shall always feel
under deep obligations to both
of them. Mr.. Jarrell'S visit had
a second note Of pleasure, in that
he confirmed the news previous
ly given us by Mr.. KlinedenSt,
concerning the new Santa t'e de-
pot. Mr.. FARRELL recently took
charge of the publicity depart
ment of the Santa Fe railway. No
better selection could have been
made by the company, and when
he called here and gave us the in
formation concerning the new
depot, and also to talk over old
times, we were glad to be here.

A short speech is a good one; so is

It's a good plan to hope for the
best, but it's a better plan to hustle
for 1t.
The truth in nutshell is all right
in theory, but it would take a squirrel
to find it.
A cream separator pays for itself
from increased profits. How many
other machines do this?
The merchants all buy where they
can do the best. Do you believe they
should deny that privilege to you?
Live at home on what you raise

Only once have monthly cotton ex.
ports from the United States exceed.

month with an aggregate of $685..
$50. The total for the year will prob
ably go beyond s5OO,OOO,OOO. If not
king, cotton is still prominent sprig
Of royalty.
1t is all right for the city man to
say the farmer is wasting time sitting
round on boxes whiting and talking
politics. The chances are that the
man who makes the remark is de-
priving his family of about two dol
lars day that they need and which
he should earn by being out in the
field picking cotton.

Going From Home for Study.

To most young persons the ac-
QUESTION of a full university ed
ucatiOn involves going away from
home. In considering this aspect
of the case DR.. R. F. JudSOn, the
president of the Chicago Univer-
Sity, writes:
1.-The question whether it Is
wise to continue ones education
at home or to carry it on else
where is always a very impor-
tant one, and can never be set
tied on the ground of general
principles. 1t is often wise, l
think, for a young man to leave
home for these purposes, for a
variety of reasons. He meets new
conditions; he is thrown largely
on his own responsibility; he al
so learns to cope with circumstan'
ces as they arise without relying
upon constant home support and
advice. This should develop man
ly qualities and strengthen the
character.
"There is another side to the
picture. Away from home the
temptations are relatively great
er, and it is easy for a young
man whose character is not well
formed to fall into habits which
are unfortunate, or worse. After
all, however, this is true of all
life throughout. One must learn
at an early age to discriminate
between the wise and the unwise,
the right and the wrong, the sane
and the silly. 1t is only by this
experience, and often by the ex'
perience of many blunders, that
one comes to real strength of chal
acter.
"There is another consideration
which often makes it wise for q
student to finish his school days

Feed for Horses.

Many farmers feed too much hay.
What a horse will eat in an hour is
a great plenty, also enough bran and
middlings or ground oats to keep them
In good condition. Use a little salt
once or twice a week, or better, II
you can get it, keep good-sized lump

or excessive feeding is not necessary
