A young man in want OF twenty
five dollars wrote to his uncle as
follows:

for what l have written, / have
been running after the messenger
in order to take the letter from
him, but | cannot catch him.
Heaven grant that something may
happen to stop him, or that this
letter may get lost"
The uncle was naturally touch
ed, but was equal to the emergen-
cy. He replied as follows:

self and blush no more. The mes

tectionate Uncle. p National

Concerning Fried Chicken.

Once ION a time we knew a prosper
Gus farmer who leased some land from
some prosperous resident of a nearby
city. The city owners of the land
found frequent occasions during the
summer months, especially when
fried chickens we're "ripe,' to visit
their country holdings, and as rule
managed to arrive at the home of
the farmer about dinner time. Far
be it from us to hint that they ever
discussed the good chicken dinners
or Dragged about them to their city
friends, but we will admit that they
ate them just the same, for the farm
er was generous soul and liked to
have company at his table.
Then one day the farmer went to
the city and called at the office of the
city land owner on business. 1t hap
pened that his call was just before
the noon hour. His city landlord
greeted him cordially and then cody
asked him to either sit down and
wait, or come back later. ''It is my
lunch hour" was the reason given.
The farmer came back later as re-
quested and transacted his business.
He said never a word about the delay
and was as cordial as was his city
friend But he apparently noticed
the incident.
Within a week or ten days the city
dweller loaded his family into the car
and started out to 'look at their
| land" A friend or two accompanied
them, and it is Just limited that some
thing had been said about fried chick
ems. Anyhow the party arrived at
the farmhouse just before noon.
The farmer came out and greeted
them cordially, ''It is just my dinner
hour" he said Dinner is just on
the table, (broad smiles apparent in
the various parts of the carr. IF you
will just drive around in the shade
and wait somewhere until L eat,
will have time to talk to you"
| The hired man reports that the
party dug up a box of crackers and
something else and appeared to be
trying TO eat some of it.
| The next time the farmer went to
town he went out and took dinner
with the family of this city landlord.
Which proves to us that the city
dwellers were good sports after all.
There was moral tackled onto this,
burt we haven't room for it.-Wichita

MARkEr REPORT

Kansas City Stock ards, July Is,
1913. Cattle received today number
10, 200 head, and sales are steady at
yesterdays decline. The run of 1900
head yesterday was well cleaned up
before the close, a wide demand
developing after the word had gone
out that there was good run here
Several orders from eastern killers
were secured late in the day Hot
winds in Kansas yesterday and today,
together with the actual presence of
several trains of drytweather refugees
from along the Union Pacific railway,
causes good deal of drouth talk, but
1t will require another two weeks of
dry weather to precipitate general
exodus from pastures to market
Prime fed steers are strong today,
some yearlings going up to s. 80.
Missouri grass and corn steers, of
good weights, are selling at So 25 to
1885 this week. Kansas flint hill
steers of first quality sold today up to
81 30, tops weighing 1430 pounds.
Prime quarantine steers reached So. 15
yesterday, and good ones ST.75 today,
grass Oklahoma steers SIS. TO to S. 35,
weighing 800 to 1850 pounds. Stock
steers and feeders have less bloom
than two weeks ago, though moving
freely today, stock steers S5 90 to ST so
feeders S6. rs to S770 Calves Of all
kinds are lower, best veals $50 to
SO 90
Hogs received today 10000 head,
market . higher, top S8.9 95, bulk SS. 80
to So. 90 Average weight for the last
two consecutive weeks has been 202
pounds, ten pounds less than in
March and April. Dealers persist in
predicting higher prices, and say that
packers interests are to maintain a
high range of values, regardless of
apparent attacks on the market.
Sheep are steady to-day, lambs 10 to
25 higher, receipts 1000. Best lambs
today $8. 25, ewes selling around S4.25.
Arizona marketing will be light this
summer, leaving gap from the
Texas season, just closed, to the Utah
season, middle of August, to be filed
in by rather meager supply of
natives, generally lacking in quality.

that l would shudder every time one
of them approached. l have gotten
over it now and find sort of an in
sane JOY in listening to them. / some
times get little weary when the
same lie is repeated over a dozen
times, but the expectation of seeing
a record smashed always keeps me
nerved up to tie point of paying rapt

A Good Thing for Every Farmer to Try
Next Spring.

Take twenty to forty acres of old
cultivated land, in March, 1914,
double-disc to help hold the moisture.
In April and May pillow the land with
a 14-inch mould board walking plow 8
inches Deep Harrow it over (double)
twice during the summer, and in
September plant to wheat.
This is called a treatment, which
opens the hard subsoil and makes it
possible to let the water down deep
below evaporation, and stores enough
grow the crop of the following year
together with the natural fall of rain
during the growing season This
treatment should be repeated every
fo 10 years, and in between, the land
should only be plowed 4 to inches
deep.
RESULT.
Crops are rooted deep in the ground
and have all the elements necessary
to mature good crep. Does not get
too dry to plow after harvest. Does
not: blow because it has moisture.
GraSshoppers exterminated = plowed
under deep. The yield of wheat is
doubled and you can always have the
ground prepared ip season. The re-
suit of I9I2-1913 experiments in
Jewell and Sheridan counties, Kansas
