NEIGHBORS ENVY
DAIRY INDUSTRY

The editor of paper published at
Montevideo, Mimi. has appealed to the
farmers OF his county to hire couple
of Pullman sleeping cars for a week
and take a jaunt into the best dairy
districts of Wisconsin. as North Da-
kota farmers did year or more ago.
Then they could see for themselves,
he argued, what good dairy farming
really looks like, and means, how first
class dairy cows are bred, how they
look. and what they earn for their
owners.
From his weekly excursions among
the farms and farmers Of his county
this editor had come TO the conclusion
that what his county wanted was cows
AMI lots OF them. Not cows that eat
their heads off every winter, bur good
cows that give a profit and hand
some one every season. \ mechanic

and dairy farmer must have good
cows adapted TO this special line OF
dairying: then too, he must have

SWAT WEEDS IN CORNFIELD
Every Effort Should Be Made to Eradi.
cate Late Ones-FeW Cocklebufs
Do Much Damage.

Weeds that are left in the corn
are the ones that do the damage. A
few cockleburs or other weeds left at
the last will grow up and, by going to
seed, scatter over the whole field. This
will make matters next year just as
bad as before.
Every effort to get out the late
weeds from the corn ought to be made,
even If it is necessary TO use the hoe
on the worst spots in the field.

KITCHEN MAY BE ATTRACTIVE
Comfort of the Cook, Whether
Housewife or Servant.

So many people are in the habit of
regarding the kitchen as a necessary
evil that the idea of applying any
decorative treatment to it and making
it really attractive place never seems
to occur to them. The cook, whether
she be the housewife or a domestic,
has to spend most of her time there.
and If for no other purpose than to
make her comfortable and happy-in-
cidentally thereby better servant
the place should be made as agree
able to the eye as possible. The de-
signers of really well-planned houses
now take account of this considera-
ton and adopt simple but well-recog-
nized decorative schemes. We have
something yet to learn in this respect
from old Dutch and German kitchens
and also from the kitchen of old New
England farmhouses.-Dallas News.

Oven Frying.

The best way to fry ham, sausage,
bacon and fresh or salt pork is in the
oven. Use a frying pan or tin or
granite pan which is lighter to handle
and much more easily washed The
meat browns above as well as below,
does not spatter the stove with grease,
and needs much less watching, also
the extracted fat is winter and has a
better flavor than when the frying is
done on the top Of the stove.

Ninenty-three men, the largest

the third of series given last ev--

Commerce at the Lutheran church
dining room. j. c. Mohler, secre-
tarv of the state board of agricul-
ture, spoke of the crops and meth
eds that have brought the state 5
agriculture to it's present develop
ment His address was interspersed
with bits of Jayhawker humor'
making it of a most interesting
nature. C. NJ. Troup, as president
Of the association, presided, and IN
his characteristic manner cracked
through the toasts and introduce
tions in good style.
The spirit of cooperation and
boostfulness, nearly boastfulness, as
have pervaded such previous gath
erings. characterised this and short
talks made by several suggested
outlets for this. Those responding
were. M. H. Ma1ott, DR.. D. G. Dut-
ton. Supt. w. A. Stacey, Rev. II. r.
Martin. The Lutheran ladies sery-
ed an excellent supper.
Mr.. Mohler said that there is a
less per cent Of people engaged IN
agriculture in Kansas today thah
ten years ago, while the percentage
in agriculture Jas compared WIN
the total engaged in all occupations
in the state is gradually decreasing
In 1895 of those engaged in all oc-
cupations 55 per cent were In agri-
culture. in 1905, so per cent, ana
in 1915. 46 per cent. The secretary
said It was discouraging sign
when. in a state like Kansas, where
agriculture is the overshadoWing
industry, more instead of less OF the
people we're not engaging in it.
The relatively high price of land
the growing tendency of large land
owners to retire to the cities and
employ tenants, lack of social ad-
vantages in the rural districts
sbiftless and consequently unproflt-
able farming, we're the reasons CIV
en- for these conditions.
Cooperation, organization, socia
centers a financial system that will
assist the capable man to secure
farm home, permanent hard-sur-
faced roads and better farming
with more live stock of the improv
ed sorts. were the remedial mea
sures proposed.
