To Teach Kansas Farmers.

kansas, first in total wheat out
put; 32nd in acre yield" This is the
banner to be carried through the
state next month on a wheat special
train under the auspices of the Kan
sas state agricultural college and,
probably, every railroad in the state.
The Rock Islands train, conducted by
H NJ Cottrell, agricultural commits
sioner, of the road, probably will
leave Manhattan July 10. President
H j. Waters, Mr.. Cottrell, Dean E.
H. Webster, W. NJ. Jardine, head OF
the agronomy department and j. H.
Miller superintendent of extension
met at Hays to discuss the details
The proposed train will be the most
complete demonstration machinery
ever sent out in the interest of wheat.
It will consist of one fiat car for the
latest improved farm machinery, with
men to explain every attachment;
baggage car for wheat exhibits; four
day coaches for lectures; sleeping
car and two dining cars In two OF
the coaches will be lectures dealing
with wheat growing, conserving
moisture, selecting seed, and handling
the product to produce the best flour.
In another car will be talks to ex-
plain the baking qualities for the
women, and in two others lectures to
teach boys and girls to do all these
things and, in addition, how to select
good wheat, the grading, etc. The
farmers will hear how to get good
seed and where to get it at cost that
will not be prohibitive. There will be
shocks of wheat, too, to show the
yields from different methods of soil
treatment, the most striking examples
possible. In all this train will cover
1,5Q0 miles. 1t will be out three
weeks. The Santa Fe is almost GER
tain to cooperate as it always has
done, and other roads doubtless will
do the same. The press of the state
will be asked to help. Every inter
est, the bankers, merchants, agri-
cultural papers, schools, churches
will be taken into the biggest wheat
educational campaign the state ever
has had. The agricultural college will
not be finished much before August
10. Note-Every paper in Kansas is
asked to help in spreading to farmers
information about the wheat cam
paign. The publicity department at
the college will supply everything re-
Quired.

Wichita Dentist plants New Teeth.

A Wichita dentist has perfected an
invention which has aroused the in

it nothing less than the implanting of
a tooth in the jawbone of bones to
which the gums are attached. The
root is made of iridoplatinum wire and
is inserted into the cavity drilled in
to the bone. The bone grows around
the root and in a few weeks the
artificial root is as firmly imbedded as
if nature had done the job.

The hedges which We ordinarily see
bordering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and beautifying
effect and not as a substitute for
fencing material. but in the extreme
outhwestern part OF the United States
there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species of cacti. such as the prickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to enclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions
and these hedges are practically Inn
penetrable. Wild animals are thus ef
fectually prevented from attacking the
herds and fiocks, and supply or fod
der may always be obtained by burn
ing of the spines from the tender
