Seventy years ago five acres made a large field of small grain and it was harvested with a hand sickle and threshed with a hand flail. Now fields can be found containing from one thousand to twenty thousand acres of wheat and one machine handled by one man will cut and neatly bind thirty acres in a single day.

Agriculture has been honored by a dignified seat in the national cabinet. The best from all nations in stock, grains, fruits and grasses are at our command for use on American farms. Inventive genius -has turned an irksome, half-despised vocation into a study of the most intricate science and the highest art. The progress has come. The changed conditions are here.

That progress will continue with accelerated speed. No human power can stay its onward march. The farmers of today must get in line with this development and gather from it the rich harvest they deserve as 8 just reward for their industry and kill. -K. C.

Gazette, DIED--At her home in Wheaton, on Friday, April 14, 1899, after weeks of suffering, Alice Alexander Goodman, aged 23 years, 7 months and 6 days. Deceased was the second daughter of Irwin V. and Ada E. Alexander. She was born at Avoca, Iowa, August 8, 1875; was married to James Goodman June 14, 1894.

Two children are left without a mother's care, Pearl, 4 years old and Goldie, 3 years old. The funeral 1 was held from the Baptist church of which became a member after her marriage. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. L. O.

Smith. She was converted in Dec. 1890 and united with the Congregational church Oct. 25, 1891. The throng of friends and neighbors at the church and the very large procession that followed her remains to the cemetery, gave testimony to the high respect in which Alice was held in this community, where she was so well known.

On last Sunday evening the Congregational church was filled to the utmost. The object of the meeting was to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Christian Endeavor in Wheaton. The exercises were opened by song by the by the Cross." The next. was reading of the 23rd psalm, by Mrs. J.

PANSY. Allen Glannon, while returning from church Sunday came very near meeting with a serious accident. buggy broke down, throwing him, his sister and are. Kentedy, who were riding with him out. They caped without any injury however.

J. N. Wilson attended a commissioners meeting near Onaga Monday, The Wheaton C. E. Society.

The following letter was read last Sunday evening by Rev. J. J. Wilson: What has been accomplished? To this question there is only one honest answer, "I do not know." The records show that in the ten years of the existence of the society, there have been connected with it fully 100 active members, some for a few months, some for a few years. Of those answering at the first roll call only one, I believe, is a member of this society at present.

The provision of the constitution which says the name of a member shall be dropped from the roll if absent and unexcused from three consecutive consecration meetings, has the effect of pruning membership very severely. members have died triumphant deaths as Christians. Former members are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Some of them we know are very active in Christian work. How much has been done in moulding the Christian character of these active members of this society, no human person can tell, not even the person himself.

Neither can we tell the effect upon the associate members, part of whom have come into active membership while some have drifted away. I believe that an influence has been exerted in the case of each active and associate member. Neither can we tell what spiritual helpfulness has come to the church and what good cheer to the pastor from the society. Then there is that much greater number who have been touched by means of their attendance at the meetings of the C. E.

society. Hundreds have been thus acted on and now are far away or being near us still, do not attend our meetings. But with many it has been like ships that pass in the night. They have been with us. They have heard the verses, the testimonies, the prayers.

They have joined in the singing. We have tried to greet them kindly. Some one says "Well, what of it all? What good has it all done?" And still I must answer "I do not know." But I do know that our orders are "Preach the gospel to every creature." "In the morning sow thy seed and in the evening withhold not thy hand, for thou knowest not which will prosper, this or that." And we know that "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again, rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." But God knows and we shall know when we "know as we are known." A colporteur entered a village in Spain with Bibles to sell. He had sold one family Bible when the priest interfered. The Bible was thrown on the ground and the colporteur was pelted with sticks and stones till he was glad to esca with his life.

Several months went by and he occasion to go through the same village. He tried every way to avoid it, but there seemed no way to go around it on his journey. So at the close of the day he entered the village, hoping to pass through unobserved. But he was almost instantly observed by a man who asked him if he had not been there with Bibles to sell. He answered "Yes." "Now" said the man, "we all want Bibles" and in response to the question of the amazed colporteur, he told this story: The Bible that he had sold had been picked up out of the dirt by a merchant who thought would be useful as wrapping paper.

So he had wrapped parcels in Bible leaves till all were used, and many of these leaves were read and exchanged and talked about till the colporteur found that his former failure, so called, had made that whole community Bible hungry, and as fast as he could hand them out he sold his entire supply. It may seem us that the best thing God can say to our work is "Well tried, good and faithful servant." Yet I am confident that eternity will reveal that effort is lost, and that we will see clearly then that by the grace of God it is indeed "well done." To illustrate the influence of evil speaking, an old philosopher bade one of his disciples to go to the mar. ket and buy a goose and on his way back to pluck out the feathers and scatter them. He did a0. Then said "Now go and gather up the feathers." The reply was "It is impossible." "So" said the philosopher, "is the influence you start evil words; it can never be recalled." And so I am sure that any influence for good by whomsoever started, never be nullified, even though beginner of that influence may turn out badly; yea even though he may lose his own soul.

What was it that caused Emancipation Proclamation to issued, freeing the slaves? I do if know all and shall not attempt tell all I know.

J. Cornelius is now suffering from an attack of rheumatism. horses. It isn't safe or good cattle pasture as it bloats and often kills; cut green it is a great hog fattener; hogs should be ripged to run on it; generally ground that raises good corn in Kansas will grow good afalfa, but care should be taken to not try it on soggy land; pick out ten or twenty acres of good average land that is naturally drained for the alfalfa patch; plow in the fall deep and again in the spring will be all the better; harrow and roll it till like an onion bed and then sow thirty to forty pounds of pure, clean alfalfa to the acre; when it gets up five inches run the mower over it, sooner if weeds come up thick above the alfalfa; the second year and each succeeding year, in the spring, go over it with a disc harrow or other harrow; keep horses or hogs off of it when the ground is very soft or when the ground from a long drouth, becomes too dry and don't let sheep or horses eat it down too close; ten acres of good alfalfa will raise tore hogs than thirty acres of good corn and with far less work; you will have trouble and many failures in starting this crop for wet seasons are as bad 88 extremely dry ones in getting the start, but when you get an alfalfa fleld well set, it is as good as a thing of beauty and a joy forever; it never Wears out; but the stand isn't good at first plow it up and try aguin; no use to resow ex Sunday school began at Arispie three weeks ago. Several of our young people went to Wheaton last Sunday evening.

Wm. Hetzler, has finished his new house and gave a dance for the people last Thursday night. John Shockey, of Windy Ridge, was seen in this vicinity last Tuesday. "Alfalfa is the coming feed for hogs and cattle in this section; it is 8 succulent, hardy plant of the pea and clover family; it will root down 20 to 100 feet and furnish two or three crops a year of a ton to three tons a crop to the acre; cured and dry it is the best of feed for cattle and horses, while for pasture it is best for hogs though fairly good for WESTMORELAND. Mrs.

Reed, mother of A. Margaret H. Reed, of Spring Creek township, died at her home in that township, on the 11th inst, aged 77 years. The sorrowing son accompanied the remains to Galesburg, where they were buried in the family plot. She was a noble, good woman, a Christian in all that the word implied, and her death will be a loss to the neighborhood.

Wm. Clark, better known as "Doc" Clark, will go to Wyoming the first of next week to benefit his health. Since an attack of grip during the past winter he has suffered with his lungs and goes hence for relief. We are sorry to hear of the death of old Henry Wilson, formerly janitor at the court house, which 0c- curred at Kansas City, the first of last it week. The remains were brought to Onaga and buried by the side of his wife, some time dead.

Henry was a peculiar fellow, but a true man withal. May he rest in peace. Jerome Pitney, owner of the Pitney ranch in Center and St. Clere townships, was in the city last week, and called at our sanctum. He is a firm believer in the grinding of grain which is to be fed to stock, and has engines, mills, cookers, etc.

with which to carry out his ideas. He i is feeding 600 head of steers now, together with any number of hogs, and asserts that there is big money in his machinery. A. A. Richards lost 3 head of fat steers and Dean Bartlett, of St.

Clere, lost 5 head, while on the road to market last week. As they were top cattle the loss is considerable. At its recent session the county commissioners ordered the clerk to serve notice on all trustees that in no event will the county be responsible for the maintenance of the poor in the future, each township being required to care for its own unfortunates. As soon as there is a little retrenchment required it is noticed that the board goes for the unfortunate poor. Why not cut some of the enormous bridge bills, and a thousand and one other little matters and save the humiliation to many poor but honest and good people? There is no disputing the fact that if you once force persons into the poor house that their self respect i is quite gone and they will remain inmates until the end, while if but little aid is occasionally extended the expense is not nearly so great to the county as it would be under a positive order to commit.

This has been an extra severe winter, and necessarily the bills of this kind are great, some thing that might not happen again in many winters. We believe the board will reconsider the matter, after mature deliberation. The Journal of St. Marys, in i its last issue calls Badgley to an accounting in great shape, and abuses him for the prosecution of the liquor dealers because of the expense to the taxpayers. Just wait and see how much the county will be out after Badge has gotten in his work on the owners of the buildings in which joints have been permitted to run.

Then don't get cross because the tax. payers have not been out a cent on the whole transaction. Somebody will pay the costs, you bet. When Sheriff Huey can't get corn delivered, he simply hitches the blacks to his lumber wagon and goes until he finds corn, loads it up and comes home. Ben was a farmer once upon a time, and knows how it is to be busy.

Oats are all in, and considerable corn planted in this vicinity. Mrs. Mary Cochran has been quite sick during the past week, but now somewhat better. Her children are all here. F.

Ingalsbe. WHEATON, KANSAS Young calves have begun to come and it is time when the person teaching them to drink has to accumulate store of patience and perseverance. A fretful 1 man should a at least have a as much sense as the calf and not be a mule. The calf has instinct, the man has brains. The calf uses his instinct against the man's brains.

It ought hardly to do for the calf with instinct to know more good sense than the man. I try the calf with some fresh, warm milk at first, by placing my finger in its and I usually succeed very soon. Occasionally there will be an indvidual that will be quite stubborn. I let him go hungry before attempting it again. If he will not drink then, I still wait.

I never lost one yet by starvation. Some of them will get hungry quicker than others. They will come to their milk sooner or later. Teach them to drink and dehorn them -Iowa Homestead. Letters designed for the C.
