The bulletin issued by the State Agricultural College at Manhattan, states that during the last seven or eight years, several hundred varities of wheat secured from all over the world have been tested by the experiment station at Manhattan Of the samples of wheat tested this state comparatively few have proven superior both in yield and grain of that in Kansas and the United ates. An observing Kansas traveling man noting the partial destruction of the corn crop over large areas in Kansas and Oklahoma, writes suggesting that this loss could be pre- vented, by a simple devise of ping every tenth row at the regular time and planting it two weeks later.

In case the weather turns too intensely hot as to destroy the pollen in the tau. is, these latter stalks are almost certain to tassel out in a more favorable time and fertilize the entire field. This practice has been followed by a few of the Kansas farmers, who claim that it insures the crop under the most adverse conditions. The same method of defeating a season of blistering weather was stumbled upon by accident by a Nebraska farmer whe. so much damage was done by the drought in 1901.

Lord Allerton is not the only railway chairman who has seriously discussed whether the first has any future at all. He told the shareholders of the Great Northern company that the receipts from the first-class passenger continue to diminish. If we are not all socialist now, a8 the late Sir William Harcourt once declared we were, we are losing the class distinction in our traveling. Peers have been caught, unashamed, riding in the democratic omnibus. The city magnate goes home with his clerks in the "tube," and is none the worse for the contact.

Even on the underground, where they continue to make a distinction, how often is there a single carriage load of first-class passelgers? The first class everywhere is struggling for its existence. -West minster Gazette. WIRELESS TYPEWRITER. 1 There has been invented in And trie a noiseless typewriter.
