THE TIDE HAS TURNED

Without sitting down and doing
some figuring one hardly realizes the
amount of Improvement work which is
being done in Topeka at the present
time and the number of men who are
employed as a result of this work.
The people of Topeka have the clean
up bee in their caps and aside from
the scores of new houses and other
buildings which are springing into ex-
istence there are a thousand and one
sorts of improvements going on, and
a special effort is being made to have
Topeka looking like the "city beauti-
ful that the town is advertised to be.
Not including the force of $500
Santa Fe shops employees. there are
probably now at least 5000 men who
are engaged in making Topeka a bet
ter place in which to live.
Great Activity Now.
The White Way is giving employ
ment to big bunch of men-say 1875.
Then the Topeka Edison company and
the telegraph companies have, say a
score of men employed pulling down
poles, and the city has a White Way
paving gang of 10 men at work on
the avenue.
The Kaw Paving company is en-
ploying the streets so men, The
city has a large force of men in the
west portion of the E1mhurst addi-
ton who are grading streets, and put
ting in curbing, guttering and side
walks. There are about SO men in
this gang.
There are 25 men employed by the
city in cutting weeds in all parts of
the town.
Take a few of the large buildings
that are being erected There are

pany; 10 on the G.. A. r. Memorial

Working for Great Fair.
At the State fair grounds 40 men
are hard at work getting the grcunds
and buildings in readiness for the big
exposition which commences with
two sacred concerts a week from to-
morrow.
The Rock Island has about 200 men
wokring on Improvements, and the
street railroad company has in its
employ say $50 men who are extend
ing and lettering the system.
There are probably 100 houses and
other buildings in course of construc-
ton in Topeka at the present time,
and estimating that ten men are at
work on each of these structures that
would go to prove that in this way
employment is given to 1000 men.
Leeper & Smith and F. M. Spencer,
contractors, are each employing about
so men at the present time, and there
are dozens of other contractors in the
city who now have men in active ser
vice.
A conservative estimate of the num-
Der of men who are engaged in other
work in the city is 1000. This would
made a total of something like 5000
men who are busy with this sort of
work.

ELBERTA LEADS.

A large Arkansas peach grower
, after testing some % varieties, say
that there is practically but one cont
mercial peach for Arkansas. and that
is the liberia Most growers seem
TO recognize this fact, for no doubt
eight or nine.tenths OF the CONNER
cial peach orchards in the state are
composed OF liberia trees. Arlla l.
sas has originated a number of fine
varieties OF fruits. including apples,
peaches, grapes and Strawberries but
here is mighty good thing which
did not originate in good old Arkan-
sas. 1t is Georgia production orig
mating at Marshaville, through the
efforts of Samuel II. Rumph 1t be-
longs to the Chinese cling type Of
peaches, which was first introduced
into this country about 1880. Mr..
Rumph believed that the strain ha
not reached its full possibilities aid
set about to develop better CONNER
cial variety than was then in exist
ence. This was in 1872 In that year
he planted 200 seedlings. He grad
ually cut out the less promising speci-
but one fruiting tree out of the lot
In this tree he recognized the ideal
he had dreamed of and began to prop
agate it in large qualities and set our
extensive orchards Of the variety. He
gave it the name of alberta in honor

of untold value to the country and
has been an important factor in the
vast extension of commercial peach
culture in the United States. 1t is
not of the highest quality, but is at
tractive in color and carries to dis
tant markets in perfect condition.
This is sine qua non in CONNER
clal peach, and point in which the
Elberta is unrivaled. The Elberta is
the commercial peach of the foot
hills of the Ozark, where the eleva-
lions range from two or three hun
dred feet to eight hundred or so. In
that section of the state the Elbert,
bears from seven to nine crops in
ten.
In northwest Arkansas, where the
elevation is ON the average about
1900 feet, we need a commercial va
rlety harder in bud than the Elberta.
Bishop Whately once said to sew
eral associates who were discussing
the construction of a pavement about
a church to be composed of wooden
blocks, 'all we have to do is to lay
our heads together Arkansas is
the Seeding ground of America. One
could hardly plant thousand peach
seeds without good chance of ges-
ting out of the lot one or more meri-
torious seedlings. This work carried
on as side line need not occupy
much of ones time, as it is as fasci-
mating to the one in the work as O
game Of chess.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
4 Few Applications of a Simple REM
edy Will Bring the Natural
rOIOr,


Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take it's place is an old saying,
which is, to great extent, true, If no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear it is sign
that Nature needs assistance. 1t is
Natures call for help. Gray hair,
dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is fall
ing out is not necessarily sign of
advancing age, for there are thous-
ands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without single streak
of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, preparation of
domestic sage and sulphur, scientf-
cally compounded with later discov
cred hair tonics and stimuants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanc-
ed and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. It refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to it's natur
al color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference a few
days treatment will make in your
hair
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Special Agent, Mann-Tanker-

The number of silos in Arkansas
year. The summer just passing has
brought good many letters to the
station asking for information regard
ing silos and silage and few ask
ing for barn plans and specifications.
These inquiries indicate that there is
considerable interest being taken in
the dairy business yer the state aud
in the improvement OF present METH
DDS.
Those who have built silos this
year will doubtless find that the
cost OF feeding their COWS through
the winter is greatly reduced and the
quantity OF milk will generally be
greater than when they depended on
dry feed entirely.
While a silo is an important I'M
provement on any dairy farm. it is
not the only building that is neces-
sary for the economic production Of
milk and butter
barn or stable that will protect
the COWS from the weather and sud-
den changes OF temperatures is es-
sential if one expects to get the best
returns for the feed fed to dairy cows
Some feeders report saving OF
as much as So per month per COW
in winter by stabling. A barn not
only adds to the profits by securing a
larger milk flow, but greatly lessons
the work of feeding and caring for
the herd in bad weather. The saw.
ing in time alone will amount to a
considerable item in the course of a
year. where One has all the feed in
the same building where the stock is
kept
This does not necessarily mean that
all of the farm stock should b.
kept in one building. However, this
may be done satisfactorily if the
Darn is partitioned off so that there
Is no direct connection between the
COW stable with the horse stable. or
with the other departments. Where
all OF the stock is kept under one
roof 1t cheapens the relative cost Of
the building and reduces the labor OF
caring for the stock to the minimum,
out there is more risk to run in case
OF fire, and it is doubtless more diff
ficult to keep a combination barn a.
sanitary and as free from undesirable
odors as when separate buildings ale
used.
