Tile Drained Land.

There is a great deal of land
in the valleys Of the principal
X lnsas rivers which is now pro-
drcing nothing. This land is of
two kinds, that which overfows
and that which is always too
wet for farming. The first will
require diking to reclaim, and
the second needs tile draining.
This letter from R. L. Thomas,
Atchison. Kan, regarding tile
draining is interesting:
II am raising corn on land
that / tiled. The land tiled five
years ago was springy, the water
stood on top of the ground nearly
all the time, and nothing but
swamp grass grew on it. The
ground was so gummy and air
tight that it was almost impos-
sible to plow it, but the ground
now is thoroughly drained and
in a high state of cultivation. !
have raised a crop every year
since it was tiled, and it has
averaged from 20 to go bushels
per acre.
I'm regard to tiled lands hold
ing moisture better, I think il
due to its quick drainage after
heavy rains, as the water drains
off quickly and leaves the ground
in a pulverized condition, and
does not bake it when it does
turn dry.
"The corn on the tiled land
has always seemed to stand the
dry weather better than on the
untitled land. Last year was a
very dry year here, and the corn
on the tiled land stood the drouth
better than on adjoining land
not tiled. My corn last year
made about 70 bushels per acre,
whereas one of the neighbors on
untitled land made about 30 bush

Zinc ores last week sold for
$40 to S45, but the bulk OF the
sales was made at S42 to S44
base, with a high settling price
of SAT on the open market. The
sales at these figures were not
as large as those that character
lied the previous three weeks,
for buyers we're only nominally
in the market and the producers
were not willing to dispose of
any great tonnage on these sac
rifice prices.
Calamine ores were fairly firm
at So to $40, and the camps with
these ores sold proportionAtely
more ores than did the blende
ore camps.
Mines and mills all over the
district closed down last Satur-
day night, in many cases to stay
closed down till the Tuesday fol-
lowing the Near Year. 1t will
be the most generally observed
holiday week in the history of
the district and from the list of
mines now available it would APP
pear that fully 1000 tons of ore
will be cut off during the week
from the regular production.
Even should the buyers lessen
their buying more than they did
the past week, there will still be
a depletion in the surplus stocks,
a thing that should help the dis
trict very materially from a sta
tiStical point of view.
Lead ores continue to be strong
all over the field, and with no
surplus to draw upon, the pro-
duction is taken up remarkably
soon upon its reaching the bins
of the producers. From 500 to
$64 was again paid for this class
.of ores and the largest pile of
lead. ore held in the district was
loaded out the past week at the
highest price. The Kramer pile
has been accommodating ever since
the mill started andIhas reached
large proportions.

Rape as Catch Crop.

Rape as a catch crop for hog
pastures deserves more attention
at the hands of the Kansas far
mer. This fall in the vicinity OF
Topeka rape has been more ex-
tensively used than heretofore
and farmers praise it.
The Wisconsin Experiment
Station has been making a trial
in feeding hogs in which it was
found that an acre of rape pro-
duced as much gain on pigs when
used as a pasture crop along with
grain as So bushels of corn would
do. In this case the small pas
ture produced large amount OF
value as measured in grain feed.
In addition to this feeding value
of rape, the hogs were found to
be stronger and gained more
rapidly after the rape ones which
had been fed on grain alone.
A plant with as great a feed
ing value as the experiment
proves rape to have should find a
welcome place on nearly all
farms where hogs are raised. An
acre of rape in the experiment
equaled much more than an aver
age acre of corn and the cost OF
production was much less and
the cost of harvesting nothing,
as it is done by the pigs.

lows from that part of the coun'
try 20 to Joplin after their liquor
One evening last week a passen-
ger on the evening Frisco train
out of Joplin made some figures
on the amount of whiskey in the
smoking car of the train and fig-
ured up something like sixty-fve
gallons. 1t was in coat pockets,
suit cases, cartons, jugs, and
other receptacles. So it is pre-
sumed there was some cheer of a
rather bad sort in the country
south of us anyway.

A very level headed citizen
said in this Office yesterday that
he would like to see every law
on the statute books of Kansas
wiped out, and bran new set OF
common sense laws made. 1t is
his opinion, as it is the opinion
of many others who are too cow
ardly or too hypocritical to adj
nit it, that Kansas has more
fool laws than are conducive to
her welfare. All of which re-
minds us of something we read
some time ago. The story goes
that a travelling man, who was
in a small Kansas town, after
finishing his business had to
wait several hours for a train.
He got into conversation with
the landlord of the hotel, and in
cidentally remarked that a man
is in danger of arrest every hour
of the day in Kansas, no matter
how good he tries to be. The
landlord bet the travelling man
SIS that he could 60 all day and
not be liable to arrest. The
money was put up, and the land
lord went to bed to spend the
day. Along in the afternoon he
was arrested because the sheets
ON his bed were not as long as
required by law. -

The Joplin Tribune makes a
terse suggestion in the following:
kansas Republicans, if they
must choose between Stubs and
Capper, had better take the lat
ter. Anybody, we judge, is pre-
ferable to this man, Stubs"

According to the Galena cor
respondent of the Joplin Globe
the surveyors for the M. o. &.
G. will be knocking for admis-
sion into the towns of Galena
and Baxter Springs. The fact
of the matter is the correspon-
dent doesn't know anything about
it. Mr.. Kenefck will locate his
road just where he pleases, and
if he wants to run through this
city and Galena he will do so.
At present, he doesn't know just
where he wants to make the To-
cation survey.
