SEPTEMBER 15, 1899,
OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
TBIS A SECOBD-BBEA KIBG TIAB.
This la record-breaking year for tba
United States, sar the 8t, Louis Globe
Democrat. Tbe production of nearly
all the principal corn -growing state ia
far ahead of all tba previous yean that
tba falling off in some of tbe minor
states will be more than compensated
for, and the largest aggregate yield in
the coantry's history ia now assured.
Some of the authorities place the crop
aa high aa 2tM0C00,000 boahele, which
woo Id be far ahead of all the beat yean
of the part, the bigheet preriooa yield
being that of 1898, which waa pot by the
government's department of agriculture
after all the return were in, at 2,283-
875,166 bushel. The wheat crop ia be
lieved to bar) exceeded all former
yield except that of 1898.
In nearly every important Held of in
dnatry the production is ahead of any
year in the part. The prod action of
pig iron has ateadily been breaking
reeorda for several months, notwith
standing the large increase in price.
The ontpat of the woolen and cotton
factories is apparently in the lead of all
former figures. Railroad earnings are
reflecting these advances by passing up
to higher figures than were ever before
reached. Bank clearances, which have
all along been recognized as a trust
worthy barometer of business conditions,
have passed far beyond all previous
totals. This is not only true of tbe
clearances in, New York and Chicago,
where they con Id be affected by the
operations of tbe speculative exchanges,
but it u true of the other business cen
ters of the country, large and small.
The government ia feeling the tonic
effect of these exhilarating conditions.
Its gold reserve has passed far up be
yond the highest line ever previously
touched. Moreover, the tendency in
this direction is likely to continue for a
time, for gold is coming into tbe conn
try from Australia, and more of it is
likely to soon start from Europe to us.
The treasury returns for August, not
withstanding; tbe heavy expenditures
due to tbe increased army burden,
shows surplus of over 14,000,000.
August, it is trne, is ordinarily a month
of comparatively light disbursements.
The indications are, however, that the
tax laws will, under the spur of tbe im
mense business expansion, provide very
nearly enough of revenue to meet all
the government's expenditures here
after, and may furnish quite enough.
In an industrial, financial and political
way these are among the greatear days
which the United States has seen.
SbCBSTABT Of AOBtCCLTCES WlLSOK
pent some time in the states of Wash
ington and Oregon in July, interviewing
farmers of that section. He expressed
tbe opinion that the time bad come
when the coast was in a position to
command the trade of the Orient and
the Pacific. He said Manila alone
would take all the butter Washington
and Oregon could manufacture and put
op in tin cans. Millions of dollars of
trade in batter alone awaits the Pacific
coast as soon as it can supply tbe de
mand. The Pacific coast is destined to
yet be the greatest market of tbe world.
It is impossible now to predict what will
be the result daring the twentieth cen
tury of our new acquisitions in the East
and tbe consequent stimulation to trade
with the countries on the Pacific shore
opposite to oar coast. The time will
come when lines of steamers will be ss
thick between China and Japan and
California, Oregon and Washington as
they are now between Liverpool and
New York. Our coast is tbe natural
entreport for tbe trade of Asia. Ameri

Profits from Cowa.
It U estimated that the cost of a cow for
one year, for feed alone, is about $25.
This she must return to her owner be
fore she can make any profit, and yet
there will remain the cost of labor and
shelter, for which she will pay with tbe
manure, aa it possesses value as well as
the milk. If the farmer cannot get
enough from the cow to pay for the food
she eats he will keep her at a loss. At
(25 a year the cost is about even cents
fer day. The price of the milk in mar
et will determine the value of the cow.
If she produces 2600 quarts in a year the
cost of one quart will be one cent. If
she produces over that quantity the cost
of each quart will be reduced. All cows
cannot be kept for one year at so low a
cost, but as there must be an expense
for the cow, whether she proves valuable
or not, the dairyman should seek the
best to be hud in order to reduce the
cost of the product. He can only do so I
by lining the breeds, for if he steps out- j
side and resorts to tne open maraet in

The Jersey Cow.
not without reason
that the
Greeks called beautiful woman "cow
eyed" ;but though many a famous Jersey
cow has borne a Greek name, Hellas
never saw cows comparing in beauty
with the modern Jersey so fine and
trim in shape and so dainty in color and
shading, or with eyes so large and
liquid. For many years it was disputed
whether the breed were not a cross be
tween tbe cow and deer, Tbe Jersey as
much surpasses her ancient progenitors
in the richness and abundance of her
milk and cream as in beaatv. At the
world's fair in Cbicaoo tn 1893. the Jer
sey, putting aside all question of beauty,
nauemrea an otner Dreeas lor quanuy
and quality of the butter, and waa a
triumphant winner over all competitors.
t or some vears mere nas ceen a reac
tion from the extravagant nrioes which
prevailed in the '80s for Jerseys, says
Harper's Bazar. During the height of
that erase, it is said that $20,000 was
paid for the bull Prince of l ogin, and
that famous cows brought from jtoOOO to
S10.000.
Pedro, aire of the great ball retlro

tbe world's fair in 1893, and originally
cost bis ower $10,000. Pedro's dam was

pounds and one ounce of batter in one

self a winner at tbe world's fair, but bis

Crimea of the Bender Family
A largo knife, which is supposed to
have been the one used by tne noted
Benders in disposing of their victims,
has been found in an old true on the old
Bender Dhuw. east of Cherrvville. Kan
The tree, which is an ok! elm, was cut
down lor wood and the knile was lound
in a hollow inside the tree. It is sup.
posed that it was hidden there, and that
after the Benders left, tbe opening grew
toKetner.
The total number of people murdered
by this family will never be known.
Eighteen Braves have been discovered
solar. They kept tavern, aa it waa
called, midway between Parsons and
independence, in early days, wnere
Deoole would stop for the night, and
would nirsteriouslv disaDiiear. it was
some time before the Benders were stm-
uected. and it was the murder of lr.
York of Independence, and bis little
daughter, that led to their detection.
Colonel York, a brother ol the mur
dered man. was an attorney at Inde-
nendence. and when bis brother did not
arrive there as intended, an investiga
tion was made, and the horrible crimes
of this family were discovered. Tbe
Beoders diaappearead about the same
time. They were followed by a party of
citizens of Independence, and it is sup
posed that the murderers were disposed
of, but where or how will never be
known, as each member of tbe party
refuses to acknowledge tbat he knows
anything about tbe affair.
Old Tip's Beady Retort.
An elderly ladv recalls an incident of
the log cabin and hard cider campaign
of 1840. daring which William Henry
Harrison, the presidential candidate at
a grand whig turnout, tuaue a nappy
retort. It will be remembered by those
old enough to have witnessed that
"great commotion, motion, motion, our
country through," as it waa called In
the popular song of thst dsy, one verse
of wbicu complimented tne laaies, as :
"The beautiful girls, generous souls,
souls, souls. The country through. Will
all to a man do all they can. Againxt
little Van, For Tippecanoe and Tyler.
too, etc"
They joined in the craze, and on the
occasion referred to. General Harrison
in a carnage beaded the military part of
tha narade. The windowa along the
route of the procession bristled with flags
and handkerchiefs, waved by fair hands
to denote their enthusiasm in tbe cause.
But at one window a lady flaunted a red
petticoat, whether as the only object
within reach to evince ber enthusiasm
or as a slur which connected the gen
eral's name with that nether garment,
by naughty opposition papers, is uncer
tain. General Harrison, taking advan
tage of the opportunity, rose in bis
carriage, and ordering a halt in the pro
cession, demanded three cheers (or the
lady who raised her petticoat the high
est to General Harrison. Tbe cheers
were given with a will. The ready tarn
given by the general to the affair, who
was not given to sudden sanies oi wit,
bnt wbo knew a good thing when be
it. must in tbis instance be claused
with tbe retort courteous.
Little Things Worth Observing.
Straw is added to the barn yard
manure owing to its abundance, but
straw can be made more servicable if
cut np with the feed cotter before used.
w bile straw may soon rot alter being
mixed with manure, yet in tbe fine con
dition it ia a much better absorlient and
can be forked into manure to advantage.
When loading and spreading manure on
the soil there is a saving of labor when
handling that wnicu is nne, and the
manure will he more valuable because
tbe loss of ammonia will be arrested by
tbe use of suitable absorbent materials.
6awdust can be prepared in a manner
to be used as an excellent preventive
against lice in poultry houses and to
keep flies from tne stables. Dissolve as
much powdered napthaline in a gallon
of kerosene as it will take, permitting it
to stand for a few days in order to allow
time for tbe napthaline to become well
incorporated with the kerosene. Sprin
kle tbe sawdust with the solution, using
it plentifully on the sawdust. With the
hand throw the sawdust on the floor of
the stalls or wherever it may be needed.
It Is claimed that when a farmer en
deavors to secure an all-purpose cow be
fail to have one that is good for a single
purpose. Just as soon ss two breeds of
animals are crossed the result is pro
ieny that is inferior to both parents. A
breed of cattle adapted for beef produc
tion cannot be improved with a breed
adapted for milk and butter production.
It is better to use each breed for what it
is intended, as it will excel in one line
only, being destroyed if bred with some
other breed.
Those who sell butter and eggs to the
country stores receive the same prices
for good batter or large eggs as are paid
for the same article not so good. Tbe
reason is that the conntry merchant
sells in bulk and sends all kinds together
very frequently compelling farmers to
take pay in trade. The only way to get
good prices is to study the markets, sell
only choice articles and know to whom
to ship.
If tbe strawberry bed has been over
ran by grass and weeds, tbe best thing
to do is to barn the bed over late in the
fall, and next spring the strawberry
plants will get a good start. The weed
and gross will render any strawberry
bed useless and unprofitable if some
thing is not done to give the strawberry
plants an opportunity to get ahead in
spring. Mulching will also be servica
ble on the bed.
Blight is depriving the market of the
best of pears. The Bartlett is giving
place to the Keifer, the latter being less
liable to blight, but its fruit does not
equal the Bartlett. Until some sure
remedy is discovered for pear blight the
Bnrtletts will become scarcer every
year. . .
Great care should be taken of a baby's
finger-nails. They are often brittle,
and should be very carefully cut, so that
there are no rough places to catch in its
clothing and be torn, as this it very
