of which a Hanover auctioneer boasts.
The old hen seems to take as good
care of the kittens as if they were
really her own offspring. The kittens
were born in nest occupied by the
hen. The hen offered no objection to
their presence. and when Mother
Tabby left them temporarily the hen
assumed guardianship. The mother

Ask Uniform Surety Bonds.

The county treasurers of Kansas will
ask the legislature to pass law CIV
ing a uniform system of surety bonds
that are required by law to guarantee
the safe conduct of the county treas
urer'S business. This was decided at
their recent meeting in Wichita At
present the bond is not fixed by law,
but by the county commissioners. The
treasurers believe the state should fix
the amount and the county commits
sioners should pay the fee to the
surety company. The next place ~-of
meeting is Garden City, Kan. Officers
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, John Ryan of Columbus, Chero-
kee county; vice president, o. w.
Jones, Wichita, Sedgwick county; Sec
rotary, NJ. J. Williams of Independence,
Montgomery county; treasurer, L. L.
Marshall of Stockton, Rocks county.

10 Inxestiaate Irritation.

While extensive irrigating work in
Kansas is possible only along the Ar
kansas river, it is believed that very
much might be done by farmers in
western Kansas in the way of hauling
and equipping small irrigating plants
for a few acres or for small farm.
In Washington and Idaho there are
many cases where a farmer has, with
no expense except for labor, irrigated
from ten to forty acres of his land
and has thus practically quadrupled
his production. The agricultural col
lege authorities believe that there are
thousands of such places where much
might be done in this direction. An
irrigation engineer has therefore been
employed to make trip of investiga-
ton lasting several weeks just to find
out whether there are not many such
places and, where a farmer is inter
ested and willing to cooperate, the
college will assist in the way of fur
nishing free all plans and specif1ca
tions for doing the work, possibly send
ing a supervisor for a few places to
get the work well in hand.

After wraps are removed the hostess
will give each guest wreath OF
daisies for their hair. These she will
make on very fine wire of real daisies
which have been left in water over
night so they will keep perfectly fresh
for several hours. The table "a round
one) is to have a large mass of
daisies in a green bowl for the center
piece, and from the overhead light to
the four corners there is to be

daisies fastened att each corner with
bows of yellow and white tulle- The
small cakes served with the ice cream
are to be ornamented with frosting

tertainment scheme planned, as the
hostess says 'sthe girls will have so
much to 'reminisce' about they will
not have time to give every one a
chance to talk it over" By the way,
this set of girls, many of whom are
married, have a very nice custom of
keeping each others birthdays. They
have a book with all dates in, so If
only card of greeting is sent the
birthday member is sure of at least
ten good wishes for many happy re-
turns of the day"

A watch,s Good Record.

A silver watch which laid in the
ground for a period of five years, was
found by Elof A. Johnson, a farmer
near Falum while blowing for corn on
his farm. He wound the time piece
and it began to run and has been run
ming since. The watch was lost five
years ago by Otto Nelson while plow-
ing the same field, and although the
field has been plowed two or three
times each year since that time the
watch was never brought to the sur
face. The case was considerably cor
toded and the hinges rusted. but other
wise it was uninjured and the works
were not furnished in the least.

Burned Oil: Saved Fruit.

So scarce is fruit In Smith county
that the heavily laden trees of A.
Polka, a few miles northeast of Smith
Center. are attracting attention. Aside
from this orchard, there probably will
not be a bushel of any sort of fruit
raised in the county. Many hard
freezes through the month of April
killed the crop. Mr.. Polka and his
sons saved their fruit by the use of
oil burners. They kept 500 of them
going all night when frost threatened.
Their orchard consists mostly of apple
trees, and Mr.. Polka says his crop will
yield about 1000 bushels.

branches of trees and wild flowers. All

carried by word of mouth, so all the
neighbors were finally notified of the
