A Lexington Boy Success.


An article appearing in the
Wichita Eagle of April s, and
which the Intelligencer takes
pleasure in copying, is very COM
%plimentary of a young man born
and reared in Lexington. Lex
ington from time to time furnish
es to the world her quota of sue
cessful business men but none
are more deserving than the sub
ject of this article.
III. B. Gilkeson, president of
the Lumberman's Supply com
pany, has returned from Topeka
where he went before the state
charter board for a reorganiza-
ton of this Influential Wichita
industrial concern, also to get a
charter for a new company to be
located at Topeka, to work togeth
er with the Wichita concern, and
to be known as the Lumbermen'S
Supply & Material company.
The Wichita company will re-
tain it's identity and be in no
manner changed, either in name
or methods, or lines of business.
Each company will be capitalized
at 10000, and some of the old
members of the boards of direct
ors will be retired and others
who have taken their stock, be
voted in on the directorate. OF
the Wichita concern the follow
ing will be the new Officers, all
old directors: II. B. Gilkeson,
president and treasurer; j. E.
Gilkeson, vice-president; H. E.
Kinzy, secretary.
Of the Topeka company, the
following will be the new Of
ficers: II. B. Gilkeson, presi-
dent, H. E. Kinney, vice-pres-
ident; W. E. Bulls Of Neodesha,
secretary annd treasurer Be-
sides the above named officers,
S. S. Gilkeson Of this city, and
M. M. Bulls of Neodesha will be
directors.
1t is of interest, as suggestive
of the great possibilities of bust
ness operations in Wichita, that
the Lumbermen's Supply COM
pany is a striking example of
what business acumen and energy
in Wichita can do. Less than
two years in business, this firm
is now the largest jobbers Of
brick in the Southwest. Besides
wholesale brick in carload lots,
they handle wholesale coal,
cement plaster, and lime. Two
years ago their monthly business
was very light, practically moth
ing, just nominally a few cars of
brick. Now they average all the
way from two to four millions OF
brick per month

How to Manage the Horse.

! see by the different methods that
people use in famillarizing their
horses with interurban cars, automo-
blles and other road "boogers," that
many of them very much underesti-
mate the intelligence of the horse.
| saw man about seventy years old
drive his horse up to a telephone pole
and jump out and get hitch rein
and tie his horse as quick as If he in
tended % head off a jack rabbit.
wondered what he was going to do so
suddenly. Just then car came by,
the horse scared at 1t little. lie
unhitched 1t and went on. That was
new way to me, but 1t was better
than getting on the side away from
the car and trying to hold him by the
rein between you and the car.
| saw young man and his girl
driving nice rig along by the track,
and as they met the car the horse
SHE'D and nearly threw the buggy
over and the young man drew the
whip and gave him cut or two with
it, before the horse knew whether 1t
was the car hit him or the boy. Then
| thonght the next one ne meets the
horse ought to throw him out. / was
standing on the road talking to a
man nearly eighty years old He was
in two-horse wagon with his team.
He looked up and saw a car coming
and said to me: STAND between my
team and the car. You needn't take
hold of them, but just stand between
them and the car" ! did so, and
they scarcely noticed the car. He
had no doubt noticed that horses
were not nearly so afraid of things
that you yourself didn't seem to be
afraid Of. Horses seem often to
scare and be afraid of things to scare
their drivers. BY all means never
scare your horse by soaring at your
horse. If you have confidence in
your horse and can make him see you
are not afraid of the thing he is scar
ing at, few of them will scare. A
horse is good "bluffer." He will
often scare at things he is not afraid
Of. They can tell by the tone of your
voice whether you are scared or not.
and If you humor their whims they
will never learn. Teach them to not
be afraid by not hurting them when
they are, but by showing them there
is no danger.-John G. Holt, in the
Indiana Farmer.

Improper floors are the causes of
many diseases with fowls. In your

floor, be sure and have It covered
with sand and chaff, as the hard ce-
ment is very injurious to the small
chicks bills. A clear cement or
wooden floor is nuisance, and, Of
course, all practical poultrymen keep
their floors covered with chaff from
six to ten inches deep.
The subject of proper floors is one
demanding considerable attention, IL

cal common sense Is what is needed

Number of Cows For a SilO.

A question that is quite commonly
asked is: would it pay to build a
silo for eight or ten cows?" One man
writes that he has only twenty-three
acres of land and is thinking of put
ting up silo for five cows. Another
that he has forty acres of land, and
that he must do very good farming to
grow the necessary feed thereon for
ten cows, besides the feed that must
be grown for the span of horses which
he keeps to do the work.
Ten cows is a rather small number
to go to the expense of putting up a
silo for-five is even worse. 1t would
perhaps be advisable only where the
cows are extra good and very high
prices are received for the product,
unless the principal coarse feed is
corn fodder. Then one would find it
profitable to put up silo for this
number. However, on this same
amount Of land it would be possible
to keep many more cows with the use
of the silo. Ten acres of good corn
fodder will furnish fifteen cows the
principal part of their roughage for
six months, or during the heavy feed
Ing season, and there would be
enough left over to give them all the
silage they would need during the
balance of the year, which would
make it possible to keep them on a
very small pasture. If ten cows are
carried on forty-acre farm without
a silo it is safe to presume that fifteen
can easily be carried on the same
amount of land by it's use.-Practical
Farmer.

Modern "Roman Road"

The nearest approach we have to
the Roman road to-day is the best
type of paving brick, laid on con-
crete foundation with two-inch sand
cushion, and this type of road suits
automobile traffic admirably, but is
very hard on the feet of horses. AS
far as l have observed the concrete
foundations, both for brick pave
ments and asphalt streets, rarely
crack except from faulty foundations.
The contraction cracks, therefore, l
believe, are due to no fault in the
cement, but to the great range OF
temperature to which the road sur
face is subjected, and the fact that
1t is generally laid during the warm
est season of the year, when expan-
sion is greatest. This view is fur
ther upheld when one considers that
concrete floors and pavements laid
on earth foundations inside of build
ings rarely crack.-Logan Waller
Page, Director Of the U. S. Office OF
Public Roads.

Farm Notes.

Wheat is fine morning food.
Warm it in cold weather.
Boil some of the small potatoes,
mash them and feed them to the
hens. They make eggs fast.
Eggs of uniform size will sell more
readily than those that include both
large and small ones.
Never feed moldly food of any kind
to hen. That's the way a good deal
of sickness comes to the poultry yard.
When you are laying in your grain
for winter feed, don't forget to put in
a nice lot of oats. You cannot find
any better feed, no matter where you
go.
Hens are like folks, about all want
ing the highest places. They will
quarrel over them sure; but put them
all on a level and you will fix them
all right.
1t is all right to fight rats and all
the rest of the enemies that come to
the lover of poultry, but don't forget
that the greatest enemy of all, and
the one that is the hardest to lick out
is neglect and carelessness. We are
apt to fight that last of all, when the
truth is we ought to begin there first.

Water CT Life.

One OF the most popular spots in
Central park is Dr.. Tanners well,
near the We Vt Eighty-first street en-
trance. A rev years ago the newspa.
pers were full of the exploits Of Df.
Tanner, who said he could do without
food for 40 days. While he took no
nourishment for that length Of time.
It was said that he allowed himself
all the water he wanted and that he
got 1t each day from the spring that
comes out of rock near Eighty-first
street and Eighth avenue. The park
authorities afterward scooped out a
basin to collect the water and provid-
ed cups. Lots Of persons who re-
member DR.. Tanner ascribe wonderful
properties to this water, and they go
there every morning to drink.-New

Intensive Live Stock Farming.

Writing of his observations of
Japan farming, Professor King, of
Wisconsin, says:
According to official statistics
published in 1908, Japan has in its
main islands, exclusive of Formosa
and Karafuto, population of 49,
542,736, and the area of its culti-
waited fields is 21,321 square miles.
This Is 2277 people to the square
mile, and besides these there are also
maintained 100000 cattle and
horses, nearly all of which are labor
ing animals, giving population of
lag people and seven horses and cat
tie to each forty acres of cultivated
field, condition sufficiently different
from our most fully occupied forty
acre farm to make the business men
among us stop and do some thinking.
The old farmer who permitted me to
hold his plow told my interpreter
that there were twelve in his family,
and that he owned and was cultivat-
ing fifteen NOW of land, which is two
and one-half acres, and that besides
his team-a COW and a small donkey
he usually fed two pigs. This is
at the rate of 1872 people. sixteen
cows, sixteen donkeys and thirty-two
pigs on forty-acre farm, and a pop
ulation density of 3072 people, $50
cows, 256 donkeys, 512 swine per
