SOLVED BY THE sILo
Silage is Becoming Recogn-
lied the Solution of Fodder
Problem.

Liberal, Feb. 2.-The silo is
solving the feed problem of the
southwest. One OF the advocates
of the silo is John Boles who has
recently built a 120-ton silo on
his farm near here.
Sllage will soon be recognized as
an essential of fodder preservation
in this southwestern territory.
Roughness is here grown and
preserved at a terrible sacrifice of
both labor and the feed handled.
Bundle stuff after lying in the
windrow or standing in more or
less substantial shocks all winter
is hauled to a sloping hill and there
strewn to be tramped upon and
mussed over, with probably only
one third or one fourth of it's
actual food value remaining there
in and that so hampered by it's
condition as to again be divided
by half.

Allow Cost Per Student.

Under the estimate of tn 9
amount needed for maintance,
submitted by the University of
Kansas to the present state legis-
lature, the cost of education for
each student will be about SITS
for the first year Of the next DieiI-
mum and about $165 for the Sec
ond year. Compared with most
other institutions of the same
rank, the cost per student is low
too low to permit competition on
even terms. The average per cap
ita cost at Illinois, for example, is
about $194; at Yale, 1898; at Mis-
souri,, 5000; at Colorado, $160; at
Cornell about $3.50; at Iowa
about $751;. A low cost is hardly
a thing to be proud Of, but on the
other hand, is good ground for
suspicion that the institution is not
living up to the demands of eff
cheney that the times require.

Henry Emerson Root was born

He moved with his parents to
Ohio, where he lived until the war
of 1860 when he enlisted as team

finally doing active service until
near the close of the war when he
was discharged being unable for
duty. He then came to Kansas
where he has since made his home.
Brother Root was converted at
the age of Is joining the Method
ist church and later united with
the Baptist church of Ottawa. He
was of a cheerful disposition as all
of his friends remember. The
funeral services were held at the
Hayne school house after which

DOLLAR AN ANCIENT WORD
Heard in the Language at Least 800
Years Before It Was Used
in America.

The word dollar" was in our Ian
guage at least 800 years ago, for it is
used by Shakespeare several times,
says Earper's Weekly. 1t is supposed
that the word was in use in London
in the latter part of the sixteenth
century, having been brought in by
the North German merchants, who
managed the trade on the Baltic and
in Russia.
Dollar" appeared first in an Eng
lish dictionary in 1745. 1t is a bor-
rowed word, being the German thai
err" The coins issued by the mint in
Joachimsthal were called Joachim
thalers." When other mints were es-
tablished, the "Joachims" was dropped
and the coins were called simply thai
ers"
The dollar was adopted by congress
as the unit of our currency on August
5, 1855. 1t was to contain 375.64
grains of pure silver; but when the
mint was established, in 1892, the re-
quirement was reduced to 371.25 grains
of pure silver The coinage of dollars
began in 1894.

Diplomatic Menus,

An interesting collection has just
been added to the museum in connec-
ton with the French ministry Of for

of NJ. Jean Fabre, and it consists of
menus of dinners and luncheons given
by French diplomatic representatives
abroad during the last so years. What
boon this will be to chefs II they
are permitted to consult this collec-
tioh, which is contained in 40 albums.
and 1t is quite within the range of
possibility that diplomats will not be
above drawing inspiration from the
books. We believe the Austrian en-
peror has a somewhat similar collec-
lection.-London Globe.

Mechanical Lightning Calculator

The clerical stats of many of the
big insurance companies have of late
years been considerably reduced by
the employment of mechanical calcu-
lators.
One of these, the invention of a Ger
man, is a compact little affair resemb-
ling music box. 1t may be made to
perform almost instantaneously the
most portentous sums in addition,
subtraction, multiplication by one or
two factors, division, squaring and
cubing. 1t is required, for instance, to
multiply 531.975 by 924. The first
factor is set by touching little knobs
representing 531,975.
To multiply by the other factor you
turn handle four times, push long
slide one place and turn the handle
twice, then push the slide another
place onward and turn the handle nine
times. The long multiplication is now
done without the possibility of error
so far as the machine is concerned
and the dial shows 491, ,144,900. In the
same mechanical way may be done all
the other arithmetical processes. I,

TAKING SPOTS FROM LINEN
Many Ways by Which Unsioht.y
Stains May Be Removed With
Little Trouble.

When your table linen or fine doilies
become stained or spotted with any
thing that will not easily wash out,
be sure to remove the spot before
sending the linen to the laundry.
Berry and fruit stains can be re-
moved very easily by holding the
cloth tightly over the top of bowl
and pouring boiling water very slow
ly through the mark until it disap-
pears.
Salt dampened with lemon Juice laid
on the spot and subjected to the hot
sun will remove ink spots from linen.
One of the hardest stains to take
out of fine linen is that made by the
lead OF an indelible pencil. Great care
must be taken to clean this kind of a
spot or your linen will be ruined. I'm.
der no circumstances touch water to
such a spot.
Mix together four tablespoonfuls Of
peroxide of hydrogen and four table
spoonfuls Of clear water. Lay the
soiled spot on an old piece of linen
folded to several thicknesses or over
several thicknesses Of white biotting
paper and with clean sponge or
bit OF clean linen sop the spot with
the mixture and lay 1t in the direct
rays Of the sun.
Repeat this process until the spot
disappears and allow It to remain In
the sun until 1t has bleached a pure
white.

DIDN'T NEED TO SWEAR OFF
1t Was Really Monkey the Ohio
Man Saw in His Hotel
Bed.

The story of the monkey that was
discovered in the bed OF a visitor at
the Waldorf few nights ago struck
a responsive chord in the recollection
of an Ohio man who once came to
New York for a week of rest and
recreation.
The day he landed he got into a
poker game and for seven days he
stuck at it, the game being punctuat-
ed as many poker games are. On the
last day he started in to play at
o'clock in the afternoon. He quit at
11:20, cleaned out.
Going upstairs in his hotel and
opening the door, he noticed his valise
sitting on the floor and decided he
would get clean handkarchief out of
it and sit down and think it over. AS
he stopped over his glance fell upon
the bed. From the spot where his
head might have been two beady
green eyes in a hairy little face
cleaned at him.
According to the Ohioan's account
he made not a single exclamation.
He simple closed the valise, turned
out the light and shut the door from
the outside. He went downstairs. ]

and he did not revisit the hotel until
late in the afternoon, when he went
up to the room clerk to apologize.
While standing there he heard
somebody say, We'll, they found that

the clerk. Then it was a monkey aft

WHAT HE HAD IN THE CHEST
All Was Made Clear When the Man
Carrying 1t Got Off the
Train.

Man in an elevated car with small
chest about twice as big as the box in
which a carpenter carries selected
shoulder. row OF augur holes bored
in the end of his chest and a handleI
on top by which to carry it.
There were only three or four peo-
pie in the car and this man with the,
chest sat away down at one end, and
with that chest on the floor in front
he would about once in so often raise
it's lid just little, but you couldn't
see in.
In due course of time the train ar
rived at the station where the man
was to get off. and then he hooked
the lid of that chest down and took
it by the handle and walked out in
the most matter OF fact manner pos
sible, but when he had got about ten
feet away from the foot of the steps
he set the chest down and unlocked
the hooks and threw back the lid and
out hoped two small, white, shaggy,
odd-looking but intelligent dogs. They
wagged their tails with evident pleas
ure at getting their feet on the
ground once more and out in the open
air.
The man hooked the lid of the chest
down again and picked it UP by its
handle and then with the two dogs
trotting beside him, each on leash
held in the other hand. he started on
for where he was going.
