Normal Notes and Comments.
Garden Calendar.

Very few frosts occur in Kansas in
early May but the possibility of frost is
not yet past. The latest frost ever re-
corded in Topeka was on May 10th, and
of course Hays is cooler than Topeka.
However, there is not much likelihood
of frost after May 18th. All tender
vegetables may be set out by that time
with nine of ten chances that they will
be safe.
The tender vegetables are: beans,
corn, cucumbers, melons, okra, pep
pers, pumpkin, squash, sweet potato,
tomato and egg plant.
However, beans and corn can well be
risked earlier, for if destroyed by frost
they can be replanted.
If cool nights with possibility OF
frost, cover tender plants with news
papers.

Some Marvellous Exhibits
at the Panama-Pacific

Exhibits in Agricultural Palace at the

Favor Over [ uo-yvhaeIer Trae

-NitaA~tNS III FaidCS at LEE
Psnama-Pacific international Expo
sition Show Caterpillar Gaining
Favor Over Lua-wheeler Trae-
tors in Farm Machinery.
An observer in the Agriculture Pal
ace at the Panama-Pacif1c Interna-
tiOnal Exposition at San Francisco
cannot help noticing, in the display of
agricultural power machinery, the al
most complete supersedence of the
new design Of power tractor, known as
the caterpillar, over the cumbersome,
unstable, high-wheeled engine of a
few years ago. There are few Of the
old models on exhibition, while the
caterpillar principle has been applied
to almost every type of engine for ag-
ricultural purposes.
TIE caterpillar proper is a heavy
sheet metal chain, varying in width
from ten inches to two feet according
to the weight of the engine, which
passes around two heavy sprocket
wheels like a belt These wheels re-
volving, pass the chain about them,
the lower part moving backward, with
the weight of the engine resting on
the broad surface of the chain be-
tween the two sprockets.
An engine of this type can be op-
Grated on ground soft enough to mire
an ordinary farm wagon.

Stock Show Next January.

Now that the cattle centagion in the
East seems to be under control, plans
are being made for the annual National
Western Stock Show in Denver. The
dates were fixed the other day at jan
uary II to q, 1916, and the Secretary
was instructed to proceed Immediately
to get out the premium list and CLASH
fication.
Western stockmen hardly realized
what an important factor the annual
Stock Show had become in the Western
live stock business until last January,
when the Show was abandoned because
of the danger from cattle contagion. 1t
is proposed to make the next Show
larger than ever and because of the en-
forced abandonment of the last Show,
it is expected that the attendance and
Interest in the next Show will be larger
than ever before. Plans are being made
for increased facilities to take care of
the larger exhibits that are confidently
expected. It is believed now that after
the experience Of last winter there viii
be practically no danger Of foot and
mouth contagion. The whole country is
organized to fight this disease, aud even
should other cases develop they can be
quickly stamped out, so there is little
question but that the next Show will be
pulled of promptly on time.

Duplicate of the Roosevelt African
ShotQun.


A duplicate of the shotgun which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him
OF mis- African trip, gun constructed
expressly for him by an American
aTmorer, is On display at the manufac-
turer's exhibit in the Manufacturer
Palace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tionaI Exposition, San Francisco. The
gun cost its illustrious owner $3.50,
and its beautiful design, graceful
lines and wonderful inlay work would
justify the expenditure to any lover
Of fine pieces. The stock is elabo-
rately hand carved, the barrels and
lock are hand engraved, and the lock
is inlaid with hunting scene in gold.
The barrels are of the finest Krupp
steel Before starting on the trip the
ex-president wrote to the makers: Il
really think it is The most beautiful
gun 1 have ever seen. 1 am almost
ashamed to take it to Africa and sub
ject it to the rough treatment it will
receive"
The left barrel is choked and the
right open. 1t is cored to shoot either
bucksEot or single ball.
In a group in this Palace are dis
plays by four Of the worlds greatest
manufacturers of sporting arms, which
form an exhibit which attracts hun
dreds OF sportsmen. Each display is
in charge Of q firearms expert.

Pearl Culture a New Industry.

Pearl Culture a New Industry.
Among the interesting exhibits of
the Japanese in the Manufacturers
Palace at the Panama-Paciic Interna-
tional Exposition is a demonstration
Of the methods and results of pearl
cultivation in the far East. The dis
plays Of this cultivated product, show
ing hundreds of pearls which until
pearl culture was placed on a com
mercial basis q few years ago would
have been the possessions of royalty,
viii delight any lover of beautiful
gems, and the methods of production
viii prove interesting to any OBJ
server. Though pearl culture has be
come a thriving industry in Japan, at
tempts to reproduce it in other parts
Of the world have yielded but meageT
results.
The successful method of prepaga-
ton was evolved by the japanese sci
enlist Kokichi MiHmoto, who diEcoY-
cred a species Of oyster which pro-
duced the pearl on the surface Of the
shell. Though the finding Of the oys-
tiers and inserting the nuclei. then
waiting for the pearl to grow to q
commercial size may seem q simple
process, the fact that It has not re-
duced the price Of the gems, even to
that Of the most expensive limitations,
shows that It Is beset with msny dir
culties.

While coming down from Fargo
the other day, the writer overheard
an argument between several knights
of the grip. Toward the close of the
friendly debate one of the speakers
said with emphasis and also clinched
the argument by stating that, War
rem, town of about 1000 in the nor
thern part Of the state, is a city with
out saloons and appears to me to be
one Of the most lively cities Of its
size in this part Of the state. 1 sell
more goods in this particular town
than do in any other two towns Of
the same size. The business men are
all wide-awake and progressive citi-
zens, and they say that business has
increased wonderfully since the de-
parture of the booze joints. Another
thing about this town is that it main
tains an excellent band that gives
weekly concerts in the city square,
and it also has the fastest ball team
Of any town four times it's size in
this state. Now try to tell me dry
town is dead and cannot support good
wide awake enterprises and amuse-
ments." The writer and everybody
else in the city should feel mighty
proud when this is the kind Of adj
vertising Warren gets by being dry.

according to an article in q metropol.-

mail out five million immense Scata-
logues. That is the number being
sent out by one house alone, and sta
tistics tell US there are 288 different
mail order concerns in the United
States.
NOW II one house alone sends out
the enormous number Of five million
catalogues, how many do you suppose
will be sent out by tn whole 288 con-
Germs combined?
Isn't it fair to assume that almost
every farm house, and many of the
town houses, will receive one or more
of these catalogues?
And isn't it again fair to look over
those catalogues, and look at the at
tractive pictures of the thousands Of
articles and read of the "na1yelously
low prices" at which those goods are
sold?

A Dishonored Minneapolis

By a vote Of 29,852 to 39477, Hen
nepin county, at the county option
election decided in favor of retain
ing the saloons. By so doing the city
of Minneapolis, which is the major
part Of the county, has placed dark
blot upon itself, that all it's culture,
music, art and boasted commercial
supremacy, will not easily remove
The big fight that the liquor element
has put forth, shows how strongly
it is 1ntrenched in the metropolis Of
the state. No expense had been
spared and no scheme unused to be-
fiddle the voters. Money has flowed
as freely as beer during the cam
paign. In glaring, full page adver-
tisements that looked like veritable
proclamations from hell signed by
his satanic majesty, the voters were
told Of the dire calamities that would
befall the city, if it was voted dry.
Against such an array of wealth and
power, the efforts of the temperance
forces were feeble indeed. And yet,
when it is. considered what they had
to contend against, the temperance
people need not be so very much dis
couraged at the showing they made.
This was the first opportunity the
people in the city had had to vote on
the question. In places where the
saloons have been voted out, many
campaigns have had to be waged be-
fore such a result has been obtained.
The temperance people are defeated
but not dismayed. The fight that has
been made in Minneapolis by the IL
quor element has stirred up the
whole state and from now on the
campaign will be for a saloonless
Minnesota. The people Of Minneapo-
lis who have shown such kindly con-
sideration for the liquor traffic
which by no means can be dignifed
