every breed of sheep that will be pro-
fitable in Kansas will be shown.
"A barn that will house 100 head of
cattle is generally considered a good
sized barn. In fact it is doubtful If
there are many barns of such size in
Kansas. The largest cattle barn in
$50 head of cattle is one the state fair
grounds. and yet in 1911 that barn
was completely filled. The fair man
agement expect to have to arrange for
additional accommodations this sea-
son.
Made Kansas Rich.
Wheat has made Kansas famous,
but corn fed to hogs has made Kansas
rich. The manner the hogs are fed
at the fair next September will serve
as an eye opener to visitors. They
will enjoy a diet consisting largely of
slop made from Kafir meal and on
baled alfalfa hay. The management
of the fair prides itself on the fact
that it has the most modern hog
barns constructed. There are four of
them.
The record of 1911 when the Kansas
state fair at Topeka ranked we'll
among the great shows of the country
in the live stock departments, is Ger
tain to be eclipsed this season. In the
live stock department these were the
figures for the show of September,
1911: Head of show cattle, no; head
of draft horses, 500: head of show
hogs LOO: head OF snow Sneep, oVO.

The fair will not be merely horse
race; it will be a pumpkin snow as
we'll There will be numerous large
county collective displays in connec-
ton with which large premiums have
been offered. Then there will be IN,
dividual exhibits in the agricultural
department that will be of particular
interest Some of the Topeka school
children who are competing in the
home garden contest will enter their
produce in the fair.
Agricultural College Exhibit.
Among the most attractive and edu-
catioral exhibits of the fair are those
made possible by the hearty co-opera-
ton of the Kansas State Agricultural
college with the management, when
results in no less than one-half dozen
displays by that institution These
displays are worth while from the
stand point of general information, but
are worth much more to the interested
person who will male careful ana
studious examination of them.
These displays are arranged to bring
out their educational value and each
is in fact, an education in itself. The
model kitchen shown by the domestic
science department Of the Agricultural
college last year, was Inspected py
nine of every ten women visiting the
fair grounds. This display was crowd
ed from early morning until late at
night. The women of the great state
of Kansas do as much work as the
men and they work with greater dis
because little attention has
been given to providing them with the
most up to date equipment. Every
housewife in Kansas should have an
to inspect this exhibit.
other exhibits by the State Agricul-
tural college are those showing the
comparative feeding value of the feeds
grown in Kansas, the results of feeding
different com binations of these feeds
to the several kinds of farm live stock.
exhibits showing different varieties of
wheat, corn, Kafir, etc, and the yields

10000 to 200, 0oO-the greatest ever
according to the prediction of T. A.
Borman, president of the fair asso-

Never before has the exposition
been advertised so extensively. Tons
of literature have been sent out all
over this and other states, and the
newspapers have given the fair an
unprecedented amount of space.
Much has already been said about
the amusement features at the fair,
which according to the statements of
the management will surpass those of
last year. President Borman, is now
putting special emphasis upon the
educational value of the exposition.
Must Know His Business.
THE day has come when the farmer
must know as much about his business
as the manufacturer about his said
he, land the State fair is the place to
learn a great many things. The free
lectures in each department have be-
come a pretty we'll eSta bliShed feature
of the state and county fairs. In To-

all the livestock departments.

There is much inquiry among Kan

by Carl Evans and Roy league, won
over the Gray Ghosts. led by Ross
King and G. Frank Garrety, to 2. An
extra period Of ten minutes was played
to decide the game after the teams
had battled through the stipulated five
ten-minute periods to to tie
The game was far better played
than the previous contest, and marked
by intense excitement. Carl Evans
twice overturned his car. but with
heavy spring steel arch over the top
escaped without injury and without
hurting the car in the least. Frank
Garrety was hurled from his car in
making a wide swing after the ball
while going at top speed, and Evanss
car passed directly over his leg. He
was considerably bruised but not seri-
ousIy enough injured to put him out
of the game. league also fell under
Kings car in mixup for the ball, but
managed to crawl out without being
caught.
A moving picture company was on
the field with machine to photograph
the play. Most of the exciting work
was caught, out several times the OPP
orators had to gather up their ma
chimes and scramble out of danger
losing parts of the play.
An immense crowd saw the gam e,

BLIND KANSAN HERO.
Declines Relief Offered by Physicians
Until Wife Is Treated.

st. Louis, Aug. 10.-WhiIe suffering
from internal injuries received when a
Frisco train was derailed at Bright
water, Ark, Robert Barr of Prescott,
Kan, who has been blind for so
years, refused to permit a doctor to
attend him until his wife had been
treated. Passengers who arrived in St
Louis after the wreck praised the for
titude of the "a year old hero who
suffered in silence, although his in
jurieS were most painful.
About eighteen persons were slight
ly injured in the wreck, according to
the passengers, and three, including
Barr and his wife, were severely in
jured. The Kansan may die from his
injuries, it is said. The three are in
a hospital in Springfield, Mo-, where
they were taken on a relief train.
The Pullman from Houston, Tex, to
st. Louis was one of the cars that
rolled down a so foot embankment.
When the car took the long plunge
Barr began calling a doctor. He did
not know what had happened except
that he and his wife were injured.
DR.. A. A Luther of Houston, who was
on the train, crawled to their berth,
but Mrs Barr was treated, although
her blind husband was much more
severely injured.

NEVER PLANT BROOM CORN SEED
UNTIL YOU KNOW 1T is GOOD.
tsy VIM. T. Edgar, Arcola, Ill)

The ground should be ploughed as
early as possible. and then let the
ground lay until it gets warm. Work
1t down to fine seed bed, and when
you think it is good enough, go ovei
it again.
Arrange your planter so that 1t will
plant forty to sixty seeds to the rcd
and never plant any seed until you
know it is good. a good plan. is te
take handful of seed and roll it in
woolen rag. put in the warm ground
and in few days you can see how
many seeds have sprouted.
In cultivating, take any good cult
vator and go over the field with three
good shallow cHltivators, beginning
when the broom corn is from four te
six inches high, and the last time
when it is from thirty to thirty-siS
inches high.
The brush should be cut when the
seed rs in the dough and soft. If the
weather is clear let it have day oi
two of sun before seeding, then you
can shelve it four inches thick. II
1t has no sun. about two inches thick
1t should be shelved when seeded, ana
allowed TO set on the shelf unit
cured The length of time required
for curing is governed by the wealth
er 1t gives the corn glossy look ii
you let it lay in the bulk for two OF
three weeks, but expect the corn in
the southwest viii cure quicker thar
1t will in Illinois.
In saving your own seed, let the
patch get ripe, pick out the long
heads, and shelve it with the seed on
net over one inch thick. Let it sci
there for three weeks in good drying
weather. then seed it and put away in
good place This method will in
sure you good seed for the following
season. Experienc is the best teach
or. because thare are no two seasons
alike. however, the matter of GOOD
seed is of very great Importance.
