Harvest Begins in Ottawa.

Bennington, Kan, June 19-The
wheat harvest began in ottawa county
Saturday. The yield is better than was
expected. The late rains helped the
crop. The bottom wheat will make
close to twenty-five bushels while the
upland will only make about half that.
Chinch bugs damaged some of the up
land wheat a great deal. Nothing but
headers can be used on the upland
wheat, as it is very short. The berry is
OF very good quality both on the bot
tom and upland.

HUTCHINSON DREAMS AGAIN.
Rock Island Officials Deny New Divi-
sion Point Rumor.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 19.-An-
nouncement was made today by a
Rock Island man who is in touch with
affairs that a reimbursement is likely
to be made soon in the freight divi-
sions of the system. Under this re
adjustment Hutchinson will be maze
a freight division point, and Buckhn
will again become a freight DIVISION
The proposed change will shorten up
the divisions, making four where there
are now three.
At present the freight divisions are
as follows: Kansas City to Herring
ton. 14S miles; Harrington to Pratt, III
miles: Pratt to Liberal, 1876 miles.
AS proposed in the readJustment'
the divisions will be as follows: Kan
sas CITY to Mcfarland, 80 miles; Nc
Farland to Hutchinson, 123 miles;
Hutchinson to Bucklin,, 102 miles;
Bucklin to Liberal, 81 miles.
This will make a short DIVISION be-
tween BuckIin and Liberal, but on ac-
count of bad grades it generally takes
a heavy train as long to cover that
short mileage as the much longer dl-
visions further north.
This readjustment will not change
the passenger runs from Kansas City
to Pratt It would. however. move
from Pratt to Bucklin good many
freight crews, and mean the rev1v1ng
of Bucklin as railroad town, 1t haV-
ing formerly been a division point

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-11-15

portant points of all and the effort to
breed up to the standard, thereby-in
most breeds-lengthening the body of
the fowl, has done much to improve
the fowls as layers. Since we are
speaking of layers let us take the
Leghorn for an example that being
the greatest "egg machine" of all.
In recent years the body of this fowl
has been heightened, increasing it's
productive. capacity. The lengthen-
ing of theFbody called for a radical
change in the whole conformation of
the fowl, if it's symmetry was to be
preserved and the final result of the
changes has been fowl longer in
body, with lower tail, deeper and
broader chest and moderate shorten
ing of legs. With all these changes
made, the fowl was once more sym
metrical whole, every part coordinat
ing in forming a bird of much greater
beauty than the former type. The
essential thing then for the beginner
with none too much capital is to get
