Officers Interested.

The county officers are very
much interested in the new fee
and salary bill in the legislature.
1t is proposed in the bill to do
away with all fees to officers, and
to put them on fat salary, pay
ing their deputies when needed.
This might possibly word a
hardship in such counties as
Crawford, Cherokee and other
counties where the population is
not always a proper measure of
the amount of labor to be per-
formed.
The law will effect the probate
judge, county attorney, sheriff,
recorder and the district clerk in
the greatest measure.
The intent of the law is to do
away with fee grabbing.

State TO Butcher.

Leavenworth, Kas., Feb. TO-
Kansas is going into the butcher
ing business. It will not be fol
proft-that is, the way the mer-
chant speaks of profit, but to cut
down expenses.
1t all happened this was. When
the bids for the beef supply at
the state penitentiary at Lansing
were opened by the directors they
found the lowest price quoted
was one and one half cents high
er than the contract price for the
preceding six months.
That was entirely too much.
So the directors, after some little
discussion, decided to buy cattle
and do their own butchering-
that is to have it done.
The state would be at no ex-
pense in buying feed for cattle,
as the prison farms could be made
to furnish an adequate supply.
Likewise a slaughter house can
be provided for.

Air. in the Soil.

always have plenty of 1t abov'
ground; but they need it in thu
soil quite as much as they d.
water. When wet land is drained
it is done quite as much for thu
purpose of putting air in the sol
as of taking out the water. TAX
ing the water out of wet lanC
necessarily let's in the air. There
are soils that are not considered
wet, that could be very greatly
improved by drainage simply fol
the purpose of introducing air.
Soils breathe; and soils that dc
not breathe properly never pro-
duce full crops.
Have you ever noticed that
sloughs that have been dry for
weeks begin to spew out water
just before a heavy rain? In
fact, observant farmers, when
the prairie country was young,
always regarded the starting of
water in dry slough as a sure
sign of a heavy rain. Why?
Heavy rains are always pre-
coded by low barometer; hence
less pressure of the atmosphere
on the earth; hence the coming
of water to the surface when the
pressure was decreased. The ex-
pertinent stations tell US that
water rises and falls in wells.
In fact, the soils breaths as truly
as men breathe, and the manage
ment of air in the soils of the
farm is all with the end in view
of permitting free soil breathing.
We take water out of the soil
by drains, and the air follows
When the water ceases to run,
the air always occupies the tile.
Some experienced drainage ex-
perts tell us that the drain should
always be open at both ends, the
upper end coming to the surface
by a fence row and the opening
being screened to prevent the
tile from being clogged with
rubbish. All summer long there
is a constant passage of air
through the tile, which, being
chilled by the lower temperature
of the ground, deposits water on
the tile, through which it is con-
Quoted to the soil. Hence it rains,
so to speak, inside of the tile
when it is dry outside. This
may be true or not, but it is a
rather interesting theory, and
we have not much doubt of its
being true.
But, you say, what can the
farmer do to make the soil
breathe? Have you ever noticed
how newly started wheat or oats
turns sickly looking when acrust
forms on the surface? How corn
turns yellow under the same cir

LONDON. Nov. 23.-Although . pre-
tense Ia being made at Scotland Yard
to-day OF a vigorous hunt for Rev.
Frederick Percival Farrar. who has
disappeared following his dismissal
from the post Of domestic chaplain to
King George and for whom a warrant
is said to be out, no one believed that
the authorities wish or intend to catch
the disgraced clergyman.
In fact, tie general opinion Is that 4
hint was deliberately given to the MISS

disappearance thai It would be well for
him to vanish and that sufficient time
was given him to settle his affairs and
provide himself with funds to bury
himself under an assumed name. and

picked up the wireless message sent out
early yesterday morning by the Prnz
Joachim when the German liner went
on a shoal 200 miles north of the eastern
end Of Cuba. The course of the Segur-
anca was changed and she reached tho
Prinz Joachim late yesterday afternoon.
The German ship was In no danger.
Only one Of her seven watertight COM
partments was damaged. The sea was
smooth and the transfer of the Prinz
Joachim's passengers to the S~eSuranca
was accomplished without difficulty.
Owing to ~unfavorable atmospheric
conditions the S~eguranca's wireless ap-
paratus could not connect with New
York last night. The message telling
OF the transfer of the passengers was
sent to Nassau and relayed to New
York by way Of Key West.
