Loomis and M. W. Kendle started out Saturday to take some water views. They went up the river with Chas. Brokenicky as engineer in his gasoline launch and A.

J. Brice as pilot, and with two or three passengers. They made a quick run up to J. L. Rodkey's, going up in 15 minutes "across lots," while it generally takes about 35 minutes by following the river course.

The water in the corn fields over which they passed was 8 to 10 feet deep. Boating was good in the deep water, but when up by the mouth of the Little Blue they got outside the deep water into a swift current and they were unable to go against. it and their boat was lodged against two trees and it looked for a little while as if the life preservers might have to be put on, but with the assistance of parties on the bank a rope was run between the boat and shore, on which a trolley was made and the occupants of the boat taken out one at a time. The boat was then pulled out of the current and the party came safely home, first going across D. C.

Ham's and Geo. Dean's farm to American Mill No. 2. We presume there will be on sale post card views of the occupants of the boat riding to shore on a trolley. Good Things to Eat The Best Quality and The Freshest Lines always found at the K.

C. Model Dairy Farm and State Creamery. MANHATTAN, JUNE 6, 1908. No other line of farming interest has attracted so much attention in recent years as dairying. As land values increase different methods of farming must be employed than those practiced on cheap land.

If dairymen in Holland can, on $1,000 land, buy American feed and then ship butter to America and still make money, certainly Kansas farmers ought to prosper on $50 and $100 land when they raise corn, clover and alfalfa, the best dairy feeds in the world, and sell on a good home market. The Dairy Department of the Agricultural College is working on some very practical lines. Professor Kendall has started a "model dairy farm" on forty two acres of land and will work out two experiments, one to balance the other, to determine the cheapest method of feeding dairy cows, and to see how many cows may be maintained on that much land. The experiment proper will begin with July. dairy herd beeu The has reduced somewhat, and Professor Kendall wishes to build up the herd largely with Guernsey and Aryshire breeds, as he deems them hardy and adapted to Kansas conditions and also excellent dairy breeds The entire forty two acres had been in blue- grass 18.1 acres have been plowed, and these plots will be used 30 as follows: Plot 6.6 acres, for corn silage.

Plot II, 3.5 acres, for corn for soiling (feeding as cut.) Plot III, 3 acres, for cow peas for hay. Plot IV, 5 acres, for later corn silage. From 11.6 acres he expects to have enough silage to fill two 80-ton silos. As he cuts the corn from plot II he will sow part to Kaffir, for later soil. ing, and part to cow- peas, sowing all of this plot to alfalfa in early September.

A part of plot I or IV will also be sown to alfalfa, and next year five acres will be taken from the twentyfour acres of pasture and put in coru for silage. The idea is to limit the pasture area and add to the acreage for soiling, ensilage, and alfalfa. We think the farmers of Kansas will be surprised at some of the results to be obtained from this experiment. It has been necessary this year to twenty four acres of alfalfa from the near by farmers, and this is being cut and put in sheds. A alfnew alfa shed is to be built for the later cuttings, It will be 21x60 feet, with a 12-foot driveway.

Several experiments will be conducted in the shedding cost of unloading and mowing by hand, pitching from sides and from driveway, swing fork, and with track from end of shed; also test as to quality of hay put in the mow green, from cocks with and without caps. Old railroad ties will be laid on ground across the shed, and long poles lengthwise of shed across the ties. A lean-to roof will be attached to south side of hay shed, and the cows will eat from abed under this shelter in early fall, through movable racks, gradually eating into the mow, the ties and poles being removed as is necessary for the whole length of the shed, thus keeping a north protection for the whole winter. The shed will be sided on the north. An interesting test is now being made with different kinds of milk buckets.

With the Gurler bucket, which has a small top with two metal strainers, with absorbent cotton between, milk is kept for twelve hours at the same degree of acidity, right out on the open shelves away from the ice, but in covered bottles, showing that the usual rapid souring of milk is largely due to dirt in the milk. The milk was of course strained from the buckets through the regular dairy strainer, consisting of two metal strainers and a layer of cloth. Tests are also being made by patrons of the creamery in different methods of handling their cream, cooling, etc. All cream is bought by New Shoes! New Shoes!

It is being proved to the patrons that it takes but little trouble to get all first grade, and that they get a big price for their labor in this difference.

Cream is bought regularly from patrons within twenty miles of Manhattan, and any farmer in Kansas may ship occasional cans or all his cream for a short time to the creamery for testing or to learn the advantages of the grading system. His cream is carefully and accurately tested, and he is paid according to the test, but on the basis of New York prices. No quotations are made, however, in advance. The farmer will get a statement of test, and if be desires it gestions for improvement of his product will be made.

Susan C. Soward was born October 6th, 1840, in Green County, Indiana; died June 6th, 1908, at her home in Blue Rapids, Kansas. She was united in marriage to John W. Taylor on August 9th, 1860, in Scotland, Indiana. They moved to Kansas in the year 1868, where she resided until her death.

Deceased was the mother of ten children, of whom four survive three daughters and one son: Mrs. Amanda Pope, Mrs. Sarah Cravens, Mr. George Taylor and Mrs. Ida Whitebread, all of whom reside in Blue Rapids.

She united with the church at the age of 13, and has lived a Christian life. She was a sincere believer in Christian work all her life and on her dying bed still believed as she had lived. She was a member of the Relief Corps of this place and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. She will be greatly missed by her faithful husband and children, as she was a loving wife and kind mother; also by her many friends, as she was loved by one and all. She has been a constant sufferer for many years, but the last four months of her life was of untold agony until God saw best to call her home.

But Jesus said, "come all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Baptist church, the sermon being preached by Rev. Wilson. The Relief Corps also gave their funeral service. The burial was at Fairmont. OBITUARY.
