We of the corn belt thought we had a drouth last summer, but a few min- ute’s talk with some of those who are returning from the drouth-stricken sections of the Northwest will con- vince us that we don’t know what a real drouth is ike. “_ : : A great deal of care should be used in shredding corn when the weather is as unsettled as it has been this fall. When the stalks are shredded they should be entirely dry or the shredded’ feed will mold badly, aud while the cattle will eat this moldy stuff, it is not the kind of feed tliat makes beef! and butter fat. we had last year and this year will | put the hay famine scare out of the! farmer’s mind, because he will no longer depend on the hay crop at all. | A small load of timothy hay to the| acre does not fill the bill on high- priced land. The continued damp weather we are having this fall is not good for the seed corn that is still in the fields. A hard freeze after one of our soak- ing rains would make a great many see where they missed it by not gathering their seed corn early. There are few sights more pitiful than to see: an old, worn-out horse turned out into the fields where he has worked for years to pick his liv- ing after everything has been har- vested so there is nothing to pick. A faithful horse has at least earned a sudden death and a burial. It is time now to wrap young fruit trees in protection from the rabbits. They start gnawing trees earlier in the fallthan one imagines they would. They must get their tonic from the bark of trees in the early fall, and when snow covers up all vegetation they get their living from the trees and brush. A little neglect in the young orchard is usually mighty | costly, all because of the rabbit pest. - Itis almost impossible to keep the parts ofa hand separator clean and bright without the use of a washing powder, The butter maker is a good person to ask for advice as to what kind to use. . ; According to those who have used them the machine ‘husker is a suc- cess. At last itis possible to husk corn from the standing stalk and de- liver it into wagons, but the matter of weight still makes the machine a heavy lug and requires considerable horsepower. This will likely be less- ened in time, The first grain binder I ever owned _ must have weighed nearly two tons. “It was built for strength where was not needed and, un- fortunately, was not strong enough where strength really was needed. The knotter had fifty-seven parts and when it got out of adjustment it took a whole lot of head scratching and experimenting to put it right again. Machinery usually has to go through the experimental stage before it may be called a success. The other day a neighbor inquired about stump pullers. He wants to pull out some of the hedge he worked so carefully to get started something over thirty years ago. was eighteen and twenty cents a pound and land little more than that| each half put on rollers and run back! White, Freddie Zimmer visited at| an acre,’’ he said, ‘‘hedge was the most economical fence, but now that go.’’ A good many of us would like to get rid of the hedge we tried so hard to establish in the pioneer days. I know of only one horsepower in miles around, a small one that a neighbor uses to run a grinder. The old horsepower hung on longer asa power for corn shellers than any- where else, although it is not beyond the memory of some very young men to hark back to the time when there was no such thing as a steam engine used for farm work. Now steam and gasoline run all the machinery that thrashes or shells. The gasoline engine is ideal power for shelling} corn. There is now more hog cholera in the country, if reports are to be relied upon, than ever before. It has be- come widely scattered and the losses are becoming great in many instances, in spite of all that is used to check the disease. Opinions differ as to the success of the serum treatment. Some farmers who have tried it think it quite sure, while others as stoutly maintain thatas much water would do just as well. The price of feeders and of corn is both so high that I cannot see where there is going to be a cent in the feed- ing business, unless one already owns the feeders, which stand him at a smaller figure than prevailing prices. Even then I am not sure but what it would be saving of much work and worry to sell the feeders to someone who is willing to pay the present high price and assume the risk of finishing them. With feeders be- tween five and six cents and corn from fifty to fixty cents, beef will cost more than the consumer will stand for by the time it reaches him. It is cheaper to keep three or four cats around the premises than 300 or 400 rats and mice. Some folks are set solid against the keeping of cats, and usually have a horde of rats and mice to eat and destroy ten times as much as the cats would eat aside from the catches they make. I find that cats do a pretty thorough job of keeping the rabbits cleaned up around the premises, as well as rats and mice. A Kansas subscriber, Mr. T. P. Teagarden, sends a request for anim- proved plan of hanging a hay door on hanging it on hinges so that it is dropped from the top.

Doan’s Kidney Pills is the remedy to use, because it gives to the kidneys the help they need to perform their work. If you have any, even one, of the symptoms of kidney diseases, cure yourself now beforedropsy or Bright’s disease sets in. Read this Butler testimony: ' Mrs. A. E. Debow, West Pine St., Butler, Mo., says: “I have just as high an opinion of Doan’s Kidney Pills as when I previously recom- mended them.

B. & Q. train while PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES Caroline Doctor, Daughter of New York Millionaire, Found in Lonely Place—Young Medical Student Mixed Up in Other Death. Miss Caroline Doctor, daughter of Si- mon Doctor, a millionaire, was dis- covered in the shubbery of a lonely district on Fort Washington Heights. She was stretched at full length, her clothing was carefully arranged and one hand was under her head as if she had just fallen aSleep. A careful search of the shubbery near the body did not reveal any sign of a struggle or evidence that would suggest suicide. Relatives of Miss Doctor, who was in a feverish state af mind since the death of her brother-in-law, Morris H. Hayman, who committed suicide in Newark, N. J., last April, after trouble over a forged note for $40,000. There was an unusually strong at- tachment, it is said, between Mr. Hay- man and Miss Doctor. She would not be comforted after his death and as time passed her grief became more violent until she suffered a nervous breakdown. Her affliction over her brother-in-law caused her to waste away and more than a month ago she was sent to a sanitarium. Chicago, Oct. 31.—Police began in- vestigating many peculiar features which surrounded the death of Miss Ollie Cole, a beautiful girl of 23 years, who came to Chicago but a few months ago from a little country home near Norwich, N. Y. Miss Cole died in a room which she occupied with Salvatore Monaco, a young medical student and gon of Dr. Pasquale Monaco, a_ wealthy physician. Monaco told the coroner the girl had died of gas asphyxiation. Then he hired a lawyer. After the girl's body had been sent to the home of her mother, Mrs! Ervine Cole, near Norwich, N. Y. several witnesses declared that the window was open in the room. where Miss Cole was supposed to have in- haled the deadly gas. Monaco refuses to answer any questions concerning the girl's death or their prior relations. “See my lawyer,” is the ever ready reply to all questions. SCHOOLS TEACH’ CATTLE TESTS Pupils of Chase County High School Tell Farmers Which Are His Profitable Cows. Cottonwood Falls, Kan., Oct. 31.— The Chase county high school agric- ultural class is making it easy for farmers and dairymen of this county to ascertain which of the milch cows in their herds are profitable and which are simply “boarders,” by test- ing free of charge all samples of milk and cream which may be sent to the school. So far the tests have varied from 1.3 to 6.1 per cent butter fat and have shown the farmers | some surprising results. Not only will the agricultural class test all samples which may be brought in, but it will go to any! schoolhouse or farm in the county | and do the work upon the request of the farmers. Nebraska Train Wreck, Du Bois, Neb., Oct. 31.—Kastbound Rock Island passenger No. 354 was wrecked near here. Two coaches jumped the track and were buried in the roadbed up to the axles before the train was stopped. No one was injured. Spreading rails caused the accident. Died on a Train.

The Frisco Corn Show was a fail- ure from the farmer’s standpoint buta success from that of the business . men, of Rich Hill. New York, Oct. 31.—The body of|yided a very nice and comfortable room for the occasion and had ad- vertised the meeting well. entries were made for a $100 prize and these were not first class samples. Only two The Amsterdam meeting was one of the best ever held in the county and Mr. Jordan says one of the best in the state and so well pleased was he with the interest shown that he is not only willing to hold a two day’s — meeting here but anxious. anxious for a similar meeting at Hume on the account of the interest in the High school in this place. Heisalso At Amsterdam with the best prize offered on corn only $1 there were about twenty entries made and some good corn shown and best of all the opera house was packed full of peo- ple and with an interest that meant business. except the furnishing a place to hold them. These meetings are free Mr. Jordon has promised Bates county three meetings of two days each with three or four speak- ers, one to be held at Amsterdam, one at Hume and the other at any place that I may select. Hume is the only school visited this week and I am pleased to say the people feel that they are having the best school in several years and one very pleasing feature is that all are working to make it the best. Mr. Jordon was especially pleased with the work here and says he must see those “youngsters” again during the term. Mr. J. H. Inman of Adrian is at the school and is leaving nothing undone to make his work a complete success. In last week’s notes one or two of our papers made me say that Miss Kate Walker of Pleasant Valley is having trouble following the course of study when it should have been that she is not having any trouble following the course. I believe that each teacher should check up their work each week and see how they are with the course. In most cases they will find themselves ahead on reading and back on some other subject. Now I am sure they are not better on teaching reading but do not teach it--just simply read. After this every certificate must have a grade on teaching ability and this grade will be based largely ‘on the teacher’s ability to follow success- fully a course of study. Now I know that teachers often find schools that are poorly classified and graded but they should leave them better than they found them or they have not done as well as they should. It frequently occurs in schools that ithe teacher is compelled to punish a pupil and in this way offend the parents and the offended parent be- gins to knock on the school. It is better if the parent feels that they have a just cause for complaint to go to the teacher and ina quiet and in- offensive manner talk the matter over with the teacher and all will usually be well. Iam sure there can not be anything gained by talking to the public in general. The persons who are boosters are seldom if ever in trouble with their teacher and their children never know it if they should become dissatisfied. I suggest that every one be a booster rather than a knocker and you will feel better and so will all your friends. I want every rural teacher to write T. C. Wilson, Columbia, Missouri, for a copy of the last report of the State Board of Agriculture. Place this in your library and use it as a reference book in teaching Agri- culture. I can not get enough copies to go round and you as individuals can get them. Sherman to Pose as Exhibit.
