Neodosha, Kan.-Wilson county will
produce an enormous wheat crop this
year IL the early returns from the har-
vest are any indication for the county
as a whole, anu they probably are, as
the condition of the crop at threshing
time was about the same over the
county.
William Rankin, one of the largest
growers, will thresh more than 10000
bushels. and others will do nearly as
well.
On the farm of Mrs Dora Long the
yield was 1880 bushels, and after the
barn and outbuildings were filled two
bedrooms in the farmhouse were used
to store the grain. Many reports are
coming In of yields of from forty to
forty-fou bushels to the acre, which is
an exceptional crop for this county,
and at prevailing prices this years
wheat crop means thousands of dollars
more than ever before Oats are yield
ing from ninety to ninety-tve bushels

NARROWED ON ISLAND.
Says He Lived For Long Time Upon
Water,

Water.
Cody. Wyo.-David Crotch, a ste
nographer of Jonesboro, Ark, who was
found on a small island In the Sho-
shone river, near here, by Undersheriff
Walter Barber, told a weird story OF
having been marooned for twenty-five
days on the island within sight of a
wagon road, over which people were
constantly travelling. During this time,
he said, his only nourishment was wa
ter.
Crotch said he had been working on
ranch near here and came to Cody
for visit. He set out for walk to-
ward the river when his memory left
him.
When he regained consciousness he
found himself on the island, 200 rods
below a wagon bridge. He could not
swim, and the current was too swift
for him to wade.
Finally, Grootch said, he became SO
weak he could not stand and lay help
less in the underbrush until passerby
saw him.

provided, the calf can be weaned ear
fer; also the stronger and more vigor-
GUS the calf the earlier it can be
weaned. On the other hand, the more
valuable the calf the more expense the
owner is warranted in developing it
and the later it probably will be
weaned. If skim or separated milk is
plentiful, calves may be fed proftably
until eight or ten months old.
When the calf is in its second week.
it should begin to receive grain, and
when one month old it should eat about
half pound a day. After this time the
quantity of grain may be gradually in
creased, feeding all that the calf will
eat until three pounds day is reached,
probably during the third month. Grain
fed to supplement separated milk
should never be mixed with the milk.
It is questionable whether the prepare
ton OF grain in any way, such as soak
ing or boiling, is advisable under most
circumstances.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves. Corn has an excellent
physiological effect and to a great ex-
tent may take the place of fat removed
oIAAAAA VI dlC0
ments tend to show that corn fed to
calves should be cracked rather than
finely ground. Ground oats are good in
grain mixtures when available, but in
many cases cost much more per unit
of feed than corn and bran. The fol-
lowing grain mixtures are recommend
ed in the bulletin:
ID Three parts cracked corn and one
part wheat bran.
(2) Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, and one part ground
oats.
(3) Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats,
and one part nnseed meal.
az Five parts cracked corn, one part
wheat bran, one part ground oats. and
one part blood meal.
90 Oats, ground.
Feed PaIatabIe Roughage.
Glover hay, alfalfa hay. or the most
palatable roughage available should be
given the calf after the second week.
Alfalfa is liable to cause scours, and
should be fed sparingly at first and in
creased only after the calf gets accus-
toned to it. At first, hay should be
furnished only in handful at a time
and be placed so that it cannot be
soiled. For the first six months, at
least, the calf should receive all the
roughage of good quality that it will
eat up clean. When the calf has access
to good pasture during the first six
months, it need not receive other
roughage- It is not advisable, however,
TO have the calf under two months Of
age on pasture in the early spring.

cHIGIS BACK TO OLD HOME
Roman Family to Occupy Historic Villa
Farnesina-Descenda OF
Original Owners.

After 337 years the historic Villa
Farnesina, on the banks Of the Tiber,
a half-mile distant from st. Peters
church, will again be occupied by de
scendants of its original owners and
builders, the Princes of Chigi, says
Rome correspondent.
The head of the house, Prince Lu-
dovic Chigi, VINO last year was ap-
pointed marshal of the Holy church
and the guard of the Conclave and,
therefore, rules the Vatican during the
interim between the death of a pope
and the election Of a new one, recently
disposed Of the Chigi palace to the
Italian government. It is stated that
by this sale he was put in q position to
buy back the Villa Fafnesina, erected
in 15O9-11 by the Papal banker, Agos-
tho Chigi, and notable because of its
frescoes by Raphael.
The palace will be restored and re-
furnished as it was when first occupied
by the Chigi family, an auction sale
having been held recently to rid the
palace of the furniture left there by
the king of Naples.
The return of the Chigis is consid-
cred remarkable since it is proverbiaI
in Rome that when once a family
leaves its home it leaves forever.

SOUND PRECAUTIONS
FOR new BEEKEEPER
Careless and Nervous Handling
viii Cause Trouble in ANY
Colony-Study Habits.

Ry LEONARD HASEMAN. Missouri Col
iege Of Agriculture-)
To the beginning beekeeper, his first
attempt to open the hive and handle
the combs and bees may be beset with
some difficulties, but in time this be-
comes the most fascinating part of bee
keeping. Study the bees, their habits,
nature, likes and dislikes, and then ac-
custom yourself. to their ways. The
honey bee is not vicious creature,
and If given anything like the cOnsid-
Grafton it deserves it Will not fight.
Careless and nervous handling will
start trouble in any bee colony. a
veil should be worn to protect the face.
Cool smoke should be used sparingly
at the entrance and under the cover as
it is being gently raised. Smoke may
be used to induce the workers to fill
their honey stOmachs with honey. In
this condition they are less likely to
sting. Pinching bees between the
fingers invites trouble, as if is their
privilege and nature TO resent such
careless treatment The warm part of
the day, when the workers are actively
gathering nectar or pollen is the best
time to handle the colony, for at such
times there are fewer bees in the hive,
and those present are more docile.
The brood chamber should not be
opened when the weather is cold If it
can be avoided, for the queen and the
brood may become chilled.
These are a few OF the precautions
which the beginning beekeeper in par
ticular should keep in mind. A careful
Sfrd1- Of tho hoo apd iFS life o1d FoF,;%S
and a little effort TO adjust ones &C
lions to those of the bees will soon
make beekeeping both an interesting
and profitable pursuit. Every farmer
should produce his own supply OF
honey by keeping and properly caring
for few stands of bees.

ORDER FOR MERGER STANDS
Against Separating Regiments of
the Kansas National Guard.

Topeka.-That the war department
will not rescind its order to consoIi-
date the Third Kansas and Fourth
Missouri regiments of the national
guard was stated in a telegram from
Senator W. H. Thompson to Governor
Capper recently. The telegram said:
War department refuses to rescind
order referred to, holding that exigen-
cles OF service required its execution"
This was in response to a wire
which the governor sent to each mem
Der of the Kansas delegation in Wash
ington earlier in the.d day asking them
to protest against the proposed con-
solidation of Kansas and Missouri
troops.
Senator Curtis wired that he had
already presented protest, but did not
say what the war department would
do in the matter General Green, ad-
jutant at Fort Sill, wired the governor
that, if desired, he would send reasons
why the department had made the con-
solidation. The governor told him to
send on his reasons.
President Wilson has sustained the
ruling of the Kansas Appeal Board
for the first division on every appeal
taken.
The division handles all draft ap-
peal cases for the First, Second, Third
and Fourth congressional districts. 1t
was this board which presented the
first appeal to the President that was
offered in the entire country
Nearly two hundred cases have been
appealed, but only a small number
have reached the President thus far.
In the first fourteen cases the Presi-
dent considered the appeal board was
sustained and the papers returned. In
about thirty additional cases the board
was notified that it had been sus-
tanned, but the papers have not been
returned to the board.
The appellants in the draft cases
can go to the President only on the
grounds of agricultural or industrial
necessity. Most of the appeals were
based on agriculture. No appeals are
allowed in cases of dependent rela-
tives.

No Other Place Would Do.

A dentist, who had been made nerv-
GUS by frequent burglaries in his
vicinity, was somewhat startled recent
" by having a man come regularly at
the same hour every evening and sit
on his doorstep. He finally suggested
that, If it would be all the same TO
him, he would be pleased to have him
divide his attention and sit on some
neighbOr's doorstep for a while.
But it wouldn't be the same, -
shouted the visitor" nor anything like
it. You are a dentist, and 1 have an
aching tooth that 1 haven't the cour-
age to have pulled out l come here
every afternoon trying to make up my
mind to have it out, and as soon as
come in sight Of your house it stops
aching, but when 1 sit on your door
step, and the COMPOUNDED thing knows
it can be pulled out if it gives me
trouble, 1 have some rest"
