HARD ON CHILDREN. When Teacher Has Coffee Habit.

Best is best, and best will ever live" When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit Of others.
 A school teacher down in Miss. says: T had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years 1t had injured me seriously
 'One cup of coffee taken at break fast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the days duties, and this nervousness was often accom- panied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation
 T am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room.
 When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so purchased a package and made it carefully according to direc- tions; found it excellent of flavor, and nourishing.
 'In short time I noticed very grati- flying effects. My nervousness disap- peared. I was not irritated by my pu- pills. life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no longer.

Do Not Sell Poor Eggs.

Few people realize that one mil
lion dollars was lost by the Kan
sas farmers in 1909, caused by the
poor quality Of eggs which they
sold upon the market. But such is
a fact, and it has not placed Kan
sas in very enviable position
among the egg producing states.
This immense loss is due to the
fact that stale, dirty, stained,
washed, small, cracked, or rotten
eggs are vften marketed with the
fresh ones. Poor eggs compel the
buyers to quote lower prices in
order to overcome this loss, and
the producer pays the bill.
: Eighty egg buyers in this state
have agreed to pay two cents
above the market price for good
sized and absolutely fresh eggs
provided they are marketed in
large enough quantities to make

Agriculture in High Schools.

The Kansas Agricultural Col
lege has been advocating for many
years the teaching of elementary
agriculture in rural schools and
in all Kansas high schools. This
idea has been presented at farm
ers' institutessand teachers insti-
tutes until the public is pretty gen.
orally disposed to accept the doc
trine. The Agricultural College
insists that schools should help
prepare for the actual everyday
life of the majority of our Kansas
boys and girls instead Of trying to
prepare them for some kind of a
vague hereafter. Now the Col
lege is going a step further and
proposing that all county high
schools adopt a vocational course
Of study with agriculture, manual
training, and cooking and sewing
equip these schools with shops, a
kitchen and sewing room and that
each school buy or lease twenty
acres of land for demonstration
farming, under the immediate con
troll of the high-schOOl teacher Of
agriculture, but under the general
supervision of the College. 1t is
Ialso proposed that when a high
school adopts such a course that
the College will assist each high
school every winter in holding a
Farmers Week." " similar to the
big week at Manhattan. In the
Extension Department of the Col
lege a specialist is employed who
will devote his time largely to pr(
noting this work in the high
schools, aid in arranging courses
6 study, in fitting up shops, lab,
oratOries, ETC., and in other ways
helping to get these vocational
lines of work started. The College
insists that our own high schools
now established can do this work
better than eight congressional.
district schools proposed by tht
united States Department of Ag
riculture.
The Atchison county higl
school at Effingham has accepted
this proposal and will employ

if worth while. Last year every
case marketed had nearly an av-
erage loss of two dozen bad eggs.
In order to meet this loss a buyer
quoted prices lower than would
have been necessary provided all
of the eggs had been first class.
The loss was by the farmer and
not by the buyer.
The time of year is now here
when incubator eggs, discarded
setting eggs, eggs from stolen
nests, stale, small or dirty eggs,
and in fact anything which has a
shell around it, will be sold by tn
farmer as fresh eggs. The egg
quotations are lowered to meet
this annual loss. Concentrated
effort on the part of the prOduc'
er will overcome this and if he is
inSistent and hunts the right mar
ket, the buyers will pay better
prices for better produce. Farmer!
should be careful what they mar
ket and should sell only to those
who will pay according to qualit!
The Kansas State Agricultural
College at Manhattan, Kans., ha'

Western Kansas Farmers Confer
ence at Hays, June 7 and 8.


The farmers of Kansas have bet
keenly interested in all recent dis
cussions relative to conservation
OF resources, adding to the soil
fertility and the development of |
the possibilities Of the farm.
In the Institutes now organized
In every county the intelligent fan
mers Of Kansas, the equal in intel
llgence of any other body of farm
erS In the world, have been in re-
cent years considering ways and
means of doubling the acre yields
of wheat, corn and other crops.
Kansas has two or possibly three
distinct farming regiOns-the east
the central and the extreme west.
There are distinct conditions in
each and these must be studied.
At Manhattan there is one Of
the most completely organized ex-
pertinent stations in the country,
but the conditions there are very
a different from the conditions in
the western half, and radically di
ferent from the conditions in the
; western third of the state.
At Hays, one hundred seventy
miles west of manhattan, the State
owns, as a gift from the United
States Government, the largest
Experiment Station in the world
nearly four thousand acres. There
at Hays on June 7 and again on
June 5 the President of the Ag-
ricultural College, the Director of
all State Experimental work, and
the Superintendent of that big
Station wish to welcome thOuS-
ands of the thoughtful farmers
Of the; great western empire. Work
is being conducted at Hays at the
expense of the State and nation,
and the best way in which the au-
thOritieS can show evidence Of the
value of the work, the wisdom of
the expenditures is to have their
employers, the tax payers of Kan
saS, visit the big farm and see for
themselves and hear the report
sOf the work done and explanation
Of methods employed.
They therefore issue to the pub.
lie, especially the public of western
Kansas, an invitation to attend
the first annual conference on
Western Kansas Farming Prob
lems at Hays, on Tuesday, June
Z; and Wednesday, June s.
. The morning hours from 900
to 1890 will be spent visiting
fields on the Station and the herd
and a general conference will be
held from 200 to 4:30 in the af-
ternOOn. Addresses will be made
by. President Waters, Director
Webster, and Superintendent Ten
Eyck. A representative from the

riculture is also expected to be
present for an address. While

show by Senator Bilbo's own evidence that he had been a debaueher and was absolute in New Orleans at the time he was alleged to have been in possession of the bribe money.
 The court held that the same class of testimony had already been ruled out and refused to admit the evidence.
 The jury was absent from the. court room during the argument.
 The defense then introduced testimony which Is intended for further weakening the character of MT. Bilbo by showing questionable acts while he was chair man of a legislative committee.
 There was a wave of interest created when T. R. James of Lueedale, George county, took the stand for the defense. He was interogated by counsel as to whether he had paid bribe to Senator Bilbo as chairman of the local and pri- vate legislation committee to influence his interest in what is known as the George county bill
 A this juncture J. s. Perrin, local at torney, announced to the court that as ne was representing the defendant he claimed immunity for the client in an- swering any question that would incrim- mate himself. The witness declined to answer certain questions and was promptly excused.
 The court then ordered the jury to re- tire and informed MT. James that he was held in the sum Of s1G0O to appear before the grand jury of Hinds county, which meets next week.
 The district attorney promptly asked that Senator Blbo be bound over to which the court agreed and he was sent for and formally notified that he must consider himself bound over. His reply was certainly, judge, I shall be de- lighted.
