P. P. ORR. Bryan Here. W.

J. Bryan made a speech making tour of a few of the cities and towns of this part of the state Thursday, first at Fort Scott, then at Pittsburg and in the evening at Chanute. As the party passed through this place on the evening Santa Fe enroute from Pittsburg to Chanute the train stopped long enough for Mr. Bryan to make a ten-minute talk. It had been announced only a few hours previous that Mr.

Bryan would stop here and the country people were not informed of the fact, so there were no farmers present only those who happened to be in town, but there was, however, a large and enthusiastic crowd at the depot to greet the speaker. Many of our citizens had never seen Mr. Bryan before and were agreeably surprised to see such a pleasant and common appearing gentleman. In the short space of ten minutes he spoke many goods words, which were well received by the people. The Walnut band was at the depot and gave good music, both on the arrival and departure of Mr.

Bryan. Died in the Philippines. Mrs. Sarah Gardner received the sad news by mail Monday of the sudden death of her son James which occurred on August 9. The deceased has been in the service in the Philippines for about two years and he was expected to be home soon, The following letter from the captain of the troop explains the cause of death: Binan, Laguna Province, P.I, August 12, 1902.

Mrs. Sarah Gardner, Walnut, Kansas. Dear Madame: It Is my very painful duty to inform you of the sudden death of your son, James Gardner, of my troop, the evening of August 9th. He was in the hospital suffering from a pain in the side. 'The surgeon feared appendicitis, but as your son seemed to be feeling better, delayed operating on him.

About 6 o'clock, p. August 9th, he began to sink, and passed quietly away at 8 o'clock. When told by the surgeon that he would die, he replied that he didn't care particularly for himself, but that he hated to leave his mother and sister alone in the world. He was brave and courageous, and met a soldier's death unflinchingly. His death has cast a gloom over myself and all his comrades; for he was a popular and well liked boy.

Examination of his intestines for appendicitis by the surgeon, Major Griffith, showed them to be in a state of gangrene; 80 that no operation, however successful, could have saved him at that stage of the disease. He was given a military funeral on the morning of August 10th, when the body was sent under guard to Manila: where it was embalmed, I believe. Within thirty days his personal effects will be disposed of by a board of officers; and I will then write you in regard to the balance of pay, due him and his family. I shall be yery glad always to answer any questions concerning him. Please accept for his sister and yourself my heart felt sympathy in this sad bereavement, and believe me, as ever, Sincerely yours.

C. D. RHODES. Captain, 6th Cavalry, Comd'g Troop Mrs. Gardner haswritten to have the body shipped to this place as soon as possible.

The deceased was born November 26 1880, aged 21 years, eight months and 13 days. He leaves a mother and three sisters, Jessie, Anna and Mira; also his uncle, Robert Gardner, and many other relatives and friends to mourn his sudden death. Mrs. Emma Long, wife of M. C.

The Great American Cereal Becomes More Valuable Yearly. "Corn will never again be used as fuel in this country. It has become valuable for different kinds of foods that no matter how much of it is raised, it will always find a ready market. The days of five and ten cent corn are past and will never return." Thus spoke J. D.

Small, a prominent corn meal milt owner and cattle feeder of Atchison and Shawnee counties who was in Kansas City this week. Mr. Small is one of the most extensive corn users of the west and makes that particular cereal and conditions which govern its productions a special study. He grinds thousands of bushels of corn yearly and feeds even more. Several years ago corn was so plentiful in western Kansas that it was burned by many farmers as fuel.

"The demand for corn is going to increase year by year until it extends the corn acreage greatly in all parts of the agricultural country," continued Small, "Corn is undoubtedly at the head of the list of fat producing feed for stock and more and more of it will be fed every year from now on if it can be raised. The corn is now being used to make more than two dozen kinds of food for mankind, including flour, starch and eyen sugar. The use of these food stuffs is going to increase wonderfully during the coming few years. All this will tend to place corn where the demand will hold prices up no matter how much of the cereal is raised." Mr. Small looks for lower prices for beef on the hoof, but not before the first of next year.

Cattle are comparatively scarce in the western stock country, he says, and even with this year's "bumper" corn crop, beef prices will be slow to decline. "We haven't very much old corn on hand in Kansas," said Mr. Small, "not as much as usual at this time of year. Therefore stockmen must feed new corn and it will be several months before the fat stock will begin to come into the market in any volume. The new crop of corn will cause a drop in the price of that cereal, but I hardly look for anything sensational.

Cattle will sell around seven cents a pound for some monthe, I think." "Will the price of beef on the hoof ever get down below five cents again-?" was asked. "Not until we raise at least one more corn crop like the one we are about to harvest." replied Mr. Small. "The best market for Kansas ground corn mealis generally the South. Kansas millers expect to ship hundreds of cars of it to that part of the country when they begin grinding new corn." DOGS ON THE FARM.

Sentiment Grows That They Have 110 Place on the Dairy Farm. A letter by D. W. Miller, Boonville, N. to the Rural New Yorker, reads: In your issue of July 26, W.

J. M. N. describes a cow giving thick, clotty milk. I heartily concur in the answer given by H.

E. Cook, except the tendency to teat trouble is constitutional and weak udder tissue susceptible to disease is bred into a cow, and no more difficult problem confronts a breeder. In my experience in caring for the dairy cow I have had the same trouble as W. J. M.

quite often the best cow giving bloody milk. About two years ago the solution, I think, presented itself. I owned at that time one of the best shepherd dogs in the neighborhood. He formed the habit of barking at bicycle riders with the result that I had him killed. Since that time there has been no trouble with cows holding up, giving thick, clotty or bloody milk.

I think an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Some man in reading this will say with a large dairy and a big pasture they have to keep a dog to help get the cows. Let me suggest to give each cow two quarts of bran in the stable when not feeding green fodder, and the whole herd will be waiting at the gate at milking time. My theory is that nine-tenths of the ills of the dairy cow are traceable to haying a dog on the farm. Commenting on the above the paper says: "Mention is made in a letter by D.

W. Miller of the damage done to nervous cows by driving them about with a dog. We have seen farmers who thought it very smart for Shep or Tige to round up the cows, barking and nipping at their heels, and sending them flying into the barnyard as though landed cyclone. Then the owner wondered why his best cow should give bloody milk. Some cows can stand such treatment without injury.

The muscular old brindle, whose near ancestors considered it amusement to drive wild beasts from the pasture, will not be harmed by an argument with the dog. In fact, the dog stands an equal chance of getting rough usage. But one dose of such treatment may entirely spoil a high strung Jersey. The dog and the yelling hired man are out of place in a high grade herd." DIED..
