statesman, as well as brilliant *

unwisely in hindering his efforts to *

No country is so well situated for !

for alarm, but her government once
liberalized, and her citizens enlightened
and imbued with patriotio ardor,
her progress will be irresistable. If
her march is to be hindered Japan,
must be allowed to grow into a powerful
nation, and a Christian government
must be established in Southeastern
Europe with Constantinople
as the capital, and that will put an
end forever to her ambitions in that

PROFITS IN DAIRYING. 8,
li
The manure from dairy cows more "
than pays for the troqble and ex- q
-? pense of working with them. Last e:
season several of our more enterprising
farmers made good money by 8o
selling cabbage in Union or at nearby re
factories, and the manure from cows pe
fed upon cotton meal and hulls makes m
the best manure. Chemical analysis
shows that the cow returns 909& of Ai
the fertilizing ingredients of this be
feed, and in such condition that it is otl
really more valuable than before,
being in a condition more easily as- 10
slmilated by the plant. ^
The following is an extract from the Sd
report or the Kansas Ssate Board of Ag- Ga
riculture.: Mc
In 1890 there was but one cteamery or 1
milk station in Clay County, and in four her
of the townships it was hard to lind a 1
dozen farmers whose note for $100 was prei
good at any of our banks; now we have nex
15 milk stations and 7 of them are in the qua
4 townships mentioned; and strange as ste?
it may seem you can scarcely tlnd a dozen befo
farmers in the same townships but the A
bankers would be pleased to hold tlteir J- J
notes for $100 and upwards. one
The farmers are unanimous In saying the I
that the creamery was responsible for what
the change of front; and what is true in learr
this instance, is no less true in many the e
other portions of the State. a grt
