Horses were lost in many
other counties aud reports are
being secured from them as fast
as possible. Mr.. Mercer now has
accurate reports from ffty-nine
OF the los counties of the state.
The disease did not appear In
every county and Mr.. Mercer
believes he has most of the loss
es recorded. The fifty nine
counties show a loss of over
$4,000 horses, worth probably
$500, 900 on the market.
There is no longer any effort
being made to discover the
cause of the disease nor the cure
for It. 1t may not make it's ap
pearancc again for a quarter of
a century, but there are scient-
lists at the State Agricultural
College who believe that 1t will
be menace to the horses of the
state next year. If it is due to
the strongalus armatus worm,
as contended by some authori-
ties, there is no reason to sup
pose that it will not be present
next year.-Hutchinson News.

Kansas Soil Valuable

The soil of Kansas is worth
$50 per ton for furtillzer in Eng
land. That is the verdict of an
English chemist. The soil sam
pie which he examined came
from Kiowa county, about 100
miles west of Hutchinson. The
soil was sent to England by John
Marriage of Kiowa county, who
was here to attend the congress.
Mr.. Marriage came to Kansas
fifteen years ago to purchase
$50, 900 worth of Kansas land.
His brother in England furnish
ed half of the money. When the
land was purchased for a few
dollars per acre, it was an aston
lshing thing to the Marriage
brothers.
Mr.. Marriage is rated by his
neighbors as being one of the
best farmers in the western part
of the state. He has taken coun-
ty prizes at several of the state
fairs with the products of his
western farms. The corn crop
in Kiowa county will average
about thirty bushels per acre.
They have raised sixty bushel
corn.
Mr.. Marriage says that in the
past fifteen years there has not
been a single complete crop fall
ure in Kiowa county.
Mr.. Marriage was very cnthu-
siastic about the work of the
He asked IN his ad-
dress IN the final meeting of the
congress that they pay little
more attention to the western
part of the state in their next
congress.

sired child, or q child Of parents who
are not in good bodily or mental con-

were noted as a beautiful race.
The ~expectant mother should give
her child all possible advantages of a

FOR THE DRESSING TABLE.
Decorated Hair Brush, Easy to Fash
ion, viii Add Great Deal to
Its Appearance.

Often on fastidiously decked dress
ing table the only article which is
unattractive in appearance is the hair
brush with plain wooden back. Many
women find that the usual silver
backed brush is too soft bristled, and
babitually use plain. inexpensive one
because it is sitter.
A good way to bring them into har-
mony with the surroundings is to
cover the backs of such brushes with
brocade or broche silk.
Sandpaper the wood so that it will
hold gum or paste. Have the silk cut
the exact size and shape Of the brush's
back and paste Is on very smoothly.
Finish the edge, after the silk is dry,
with a narrow border of gimp or
galloon.
Flowered silk to match the other
toilet belongings has the prettiest eff
feet.
A brush treated in this way makes
an attractive gift Cretonne and small
figured chintz may take the place of
silk If they are used elsewhere in the
bedroom furnishings
Linen or plain silk with the mono
gram of the owner embroidered on 1t
may also be used for these covers.
