A SUGAR CAMP IN KANSAS.
One Of Vermont's Industries Carried to
the Plains by an Early Settler.

mont, The owner, +. II. Barnes, is now
in the midst Of the sugar making sea
son.
\ quarter of a century ago Barnes
decided to New Englandize "A farm he
had homesteadcd 10y planting 300 maple
trees, The hard or sugar maple is of
slow growth. but he could estimate the
value Of a sugar camp In the heart of
| the plains country after twenty years
growth.

school Biographies, took in all the coun-

of Indians chasing buffalo over the vast

sorated with every one Of them. There

and buffalo were not far away"

modern homes, whose occupants have

now In full operation. The grove of
maple trees are all tapped and the sap

sandy plains and the soil conditions
produce more and swccter syrup than
the hill country OF Vermont
The sugar camp is one nf the most
profitable enterprises near Mcdora. Mr..
Barnes could make many hundreds OF
pounds of sugar each year and sell it in
The eastern market ut Il good profit, but
il requires less work To boil the sap into
syrup, which is quickly sold to the peo-
pie Of central Kansas. Many farmers
in the surrounding counties annually
plant a small field Of buckwheat in an
ticipatinn Of the pure maple syrup which
is produced at the Medora sugar camp.
In u general way this New Englander
has carried out the Vermont home idea.
The planting of sugar naples aud the
growing of trees 10 relieve the mOnotony
of the level plains was Mr. Barnes first
thought. He told his few neighbors that
il meant long wait but that his chill
drcn and future generations would bless

desert into Il woodland In the big
wooded pasture are many varieties of
forest trees, but the naples are the most

THE POACHER'S DOG.
Gives Warning of Gamekeeper's APP

During the recent tria! Of poachcr at
Liang0ilen, North Wales, IT came out in
evidence that his canine companion on
fOrays acted as an advance scout and
gave him notice Of the presence and
whereabouts of the gamekeepers. Ac-
tons of that kind are all a matter Of
training, and when the training runs in
families the habit becomes quite in
stinctive so that with the pups Of old
poaching dogs very little teaching is
necessary. The best type Of dog for
that purpose is the 'lurcher,' produce

Mr.. Cannon wanted to know IL thv
governor had named delegates to this
meeting. and he said ST. Louis would
like to have the national hookworm
conference next year.
The governor is inclined to ridicule
the purposes Of John d. RockefeIler's
conference, and said he had not been
requested to appoint delegates to the
Atlanta gathering and that he would
not do so. He said he has appointed
delegates to national conventions rem
resenting almost everything else under
the sun, but would draw the line on

ernor knows, the hookworrn has not a
friend In the state. and he does not in
tend to give it Official recognition az
