KANSAS CITY, KAMA fair
IA haired, blue-eyed, slender, pretty
girl, twenty-one years old, who loves to
dance to jazz music and favors light
wines and beer, is the latest political
problem in Kansas. She is running for

bold announcement that she will use

GOOD GRASS SOD ON ORCHARD
Trees Suffer From Lack of Moisture
and There Is Temptation to
Turn Stock in.

Where there is a good grass sod on
the orchard, the trees not only suffer
loss of moisture, but there is con-
slant temptation to turn stock into
the orchard during rush times, or when
the main pastures are short. This is
always unsatisfactory, because the
trees are going to be damaged more
or less, even though average precau-
tons are taken to protect them. If
any stock at all is given the run of
the orchard, poultry is the best, as
being least injurious to the trees and
fowls constantly enrich the soil in
the elements particularly necessary for
fruit production. But even then the
advantage is very slight.

RELICS OF AGES LONG PAST
England Has Three of the Most Re-
markable That the Whole World
Has to Offer.

A loaf of bread more than 600 years
old, it is said, is to be found at Ambas-
ton, in Derbyshire England. 1t was
included in a grant of land from the
crown in the reign of King John, and
has remained in the Soar family ever
since.
Almost as great curiosity as this
is a house LOO years of age, and yet
fit for habitation. This old dwelling,
the oldest inhabited house in England,
was built in the time of King Offa OF
Mercia. 1t is octagonal in shape, the
walls of it's lower story being of great
thickness. The upper part is of oak.
At one time the house was fortified
and known by the name of st. Ger
mans Gate. 1t stands close to the
River Yer, and only few yards from
st. Adams abbey.
A marriage proposal 3,40O years Of
age is in existence in the British
museum. 1t is the Oldest marriage
proposal of which there is any definite
record. 1t consists of about ninety
eight lines of very fine cuneiform writ
ing, and is on small clay tablet made
of Nile mud. 1t Is a marriage pro-
posal of a Pharaoh for the hand or
the daughter of the king Of Babylon.
It was written about the year 1850

TESTING AIR IN CID MINE
Of All Methods, the Lowering of
Miners Safety Lamp Is Acknowl-
edged to Be Safest.

Raising and lowering a bucket sew
eral times, to bring into longdisused
mine fresh air from the surface, is
common practice Methane may be
expected in abandoned shafts or pits
driven in coal measures Or carbOna-
ceOus states, or where a heavily tim
bered shaft is partly filled with wa
ter. If methane is suspected it is best
to lower nothing bat a miners safety
lamp. If the light is not extinguished,
the descent can be considered reason
ably safe When no safety lamp is
available, and it IS necessary to test
with an open light, care should be
taken to Immediately withdraw all
persons in close proximity to the shaft
Or pit as there may be an explosion.
Generally, there is no physiological
warning of oxygen deficiency in the
air. The first decided feeling is one OF
extreme weakness accompanied by dir
illness, better described as partial
paralysis and the victim collapses
practically without warning. To guard
against this danger, man should not
enter old workings without having a
rope tied around his body and at least
two men on the top. The rope should
be kept taut. Then if distress signal
is given, the explorer will not only be
prevented from falling, but can be
quickly pulled to fresh air and his life

T OUISVILLE, KY.-The church on

Nevada's First Lethal Gas Execution

But since the Nevada legislature has
voted the lethal gas cage, the last
word in humane execution" Gov. EN-
NETT Boyle and state prison directors
are continuing with plans for its con,
structiOn and the deaths of the "test
cases."
A small concrete death house, about
5 by by s will be built in one corner
of the prison yard. Through one wall
a pipe leads to large gas tank. The
valve would be operated by one OF
three wires. Three persons, to be Sc
lected by lot, would pull the individual
wires, so none would know which had
turned on the gas. Through a window
six witnesses would be able to watch
the victims die. The law says that
this number Of witnesses may at
tend the executions.
Chief objection to the lethal gas
killings, lies in the wording of tire
law which says that sometime dur.
ing the week of sentence the execu.
ton shall take place." State and
prison officials insist that the con-
condemned prisoners will be notified
Of the time of death and that the
execution will be immediate.

LABOR SAVED IN
HARVESTING HAY
Good Methods, Efficient Manage.
ment and Proper ImpIe-
ments Are Essential.
USE HORSES FOR HEAVY WORK
Small Grower Need Not Make LARGE
Investment in New Apparatus
Economical to Use Mowers of
the Larger Sizes.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Much labor is wasted in harvesting
hay. not necessarily because of idle
ness, but because wrong methods, in
efficient management and improper or
imperfect implements are employed
say specialists Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
On farms where considerable hay is
grown, they say methods must be
adopted by which the greater part Of
the heavy labor is done by horses. This
will necessitate the general use of GER
tain types of labOr-saving machinery,
some of them not so common in the
East, which have been thoroughly test
ed and proved satisfactory in the west
ern part of the United. States. The
small hay grower, however, need not
make very heavy investment in new
haying apparatus, for, by rearranging
the working of his crew, and using a
little more horse labor for the hard
work, he can add considerably to the
efficiency of his crew.
Time of Moving Is important.
The time of day when, the mower Is
started has a direct bearing on the
amount of hay made per day and the
number of men required. This is espe-
cially true on farms where it is the
custom to haul or stack hay in the
afternoon only. If moving is done in
the morning and raking in the after
noon, more men and horses than usual
will be required, and if moving and
raking are both done in the afternoon,
still more men and horses will be
needed.
The five-foot cut is the most common
size used in the East, but it will be
economy to use larger mowers six,
seven and even eight-foOt sizes can be
used on a great many farms. Some
idea of the time saved by using these
larger sizes may be had when the diff
ference in the amount of work done by
each is known. Under average cOndi-
tons, a five-foot mower will cut ten
acres in ten hours, a siX-fOOt mower
will cut II acres, a seven-foot IA acres
and an eight-foot about 16 acres in ten
hours. 1t should be borne in mind
that more power is required for the

Increase the Yields.

A well-prepared seed bed is good in
surance against drouth, and the best
seed is none too good. A few cents
or a dollar saved in the price of seed
often costs many dollars in reduced
yield. The cost per acre does not diff
fer very greatly whether the yield be
large or small. Work put in during
the month Of April has much to do
with yields per acre.
