Every Kansan is proud Of his state

OF its live stock as any other Kan
sas is the second cattle state of the
Union and is advancing rapidly to-
ward supremacy in other lines of
breeding. Kansas farmers are wide
awake to those things which in q
business way affect their interest.
They have literally lived the motto of
their state. "Ad astra per aspera-"
They did not have the best to start
with They acted upon that motto
that has affected the destinies of man
kind more than once, which runs.
Whatsoever thy hand f1ndeth to do,
do it with all thy might" They had
to be content with the cattle of the
plains, which was a distinctive type,
opposite in its qualities to those OF
the high bred importations from the
old world. All animals bred and rear
ed upon the plains for any length Of
time without any infusion of import
ed blood partake of the qualities and
characteristics of the wild animals of
the plains Plains animals are fleet
The necessities of self perpetuity Of
species predestined them to be feet
Consequently they grew long Of limb,
deep of chest, light of flank, long of
neck, prominent eyes and other char
acteristics of the animal bred for

They had the plains pony, which
was a horse Of remarkable endurance.
With nearly all other qualities, so far
rs the farmers use is concerned, lack
ing. AS early as possible they start
ed to breed better. They learned early
that the easiest pound of beef or pork
produced was. that which was bred
upon the animal. Consequently they
have been heavy buyers Of animals to
mate with their defective ones with a
view of lettering them Now all
through the state from end to end
there can be found herds OF cattle bred
TO high state of perfection, horses Of
approved type, hogs Of the highest
quality and sheep OF heaviest fleece.
There is still. however. a great task
before farmers OF Kansas to perform
II these respects. There are many
who still need the Infusion of high
class blood in their herds and focks It
Is to all these that the Fair at Hutch
tnsOn is indispensable. Here they
can see and learn from their own OBJ

1t is a many sided Fair. interesting

An order Of Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock, which went into ef.
feet on Jan. 1, 1911, has torn
the postal department to pieces
aud the post masters and postal
clerks are filled with consterna-
ti0n. The order makes q com.
plrte revolution in the handling
of registered mail, the registered
cover having been discarded, and
letters are sent along in I h Q
mail unprotected. A record is
kept OF the letters the same as
heretofore, but in handling them
the envelopes often become torn
and the enclosures could easily
I've extracted. There is really no
way to rra.e the loss to any LIT.
ter should the contents be stolen.
Registered packages are sent a.
long pretty much the same es the
ordinary mail, no record eyen as
to the number Of the package be-
ing kept. The postal clerks books
show 80 many packages sent by
the mail and nothing else. A
worthless package could be sub
stituted by a valuable one and it
would be impossible to trace 1t
to the guilty party. The present
method OF handling the register
ed mail is entirely unsafe and is
little or no better than sending
money or valuables along in the
ordinary mail. In fact. as it ap.
pears, the sender IN practically
wasting the amount of extra
postage.
This condition OF affairs in the
matter of registered mail is not
generally known by the public,
and the Post came upon it Incl.
dentaIly.
1t is stated that every man in
the postal service would like to
get out OF he business, and ma
ny if they had some other en-
ployment would do 80 at once.
