—So far the corn planted on plowed
land with a two-horse planter and
dlse furrow openers this spring is in
inuoh better shape than that planted
with the ordinary lister. Much of
the early planted oorn that was put
In with listers is not beiDg replanted,
and that planted later is only showing
up about a half stand—that is on what
is called “hard land”~not sand.
The weather has been so dry that the
lister furrows and ridges have dried
out badly, so that much of the corn
sprouted and then died bacir. With
the disk furrow opeuers on plowed
ground this trouble was avoided and
those who used the disk openers have
pretty good stands of corn and it is
growing nicely considering the
weather. The Journal thinks the
disk openers must be the best method
of any yet invented for planting corn,
and has out 125 acres planted in that
way that looks reasonably promising.
It looks to the Journal now as though
the lister is soon to become a thing of
the past for planting corn, but later
on in the growing of this year’s crop
that prediction may be “knocked in-
to a cocked hat." To be sure, there
are some people, no matter what im-
provements are made, who will use
the old out-of-date tools as long as
they will hang together.

the horse became fr ightened and
bolted. At the first jump of the

harness broke, so that be was uncon-

street toward the rive r, and at the
crossing on Tenth str eet the buggy
shaft, which was dragging the
ground, caught on th a crossing and
turned the buggy up: dde down with

—Hon. Jerry Bodkin of Wlndfield,
Kansas, was here on Thursday of last
week In the interest of putting iu an
alfalfa mill at Manchester. He is
associated with a Mr. Roberts,
patentee of the latest improved alfal-
fa mil), and his mission was to try
and place one of these mills here.
Mr. Bodkin was the Democratic can-
didate for governor of Kansas last
fall, and was atone time coogressman-
at-large for the state of Kansas.
This, however, did not unfit him for
talking alfalfa, which he considers
the greatest money-making crop
known to this country. When he
left he said he would come back again
later on and try and get a mill started
at Manchester.

Iowa gates can be hung close to the ground but will never drag
because the outer end is adjustable. Hog tight mesh and stretchers on
every wire. Gate fastened at both the top and bottom, plain strong
hinges, no wearing parts.
The Roller Steel Tubing used in the frame instead of gas pipe
makes them proof against any stock.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Why not use Iowa
gates to match your good fences? You will find them strong but eas\
to handle—convenient in summer and winter—will swing up hill as
you wish.
When you have time drop around and look over the sample gate
hung up at S. B. Fling’s store.

Tuesday. They live 8 miles due west
of Anthony. Mr. Kastins informs us
that although the weather has been
very dry, he thinks the wheat all over
the country looks better than it did
ten days ago. If such is the case, it
is probably due to the fact that the
warm days preceding the cold wave
and since put the cut-worms out of
husidess.
—Au Authouy husband whose wife
sometimes says they should leave Kan-
sas because of the winds took home
the daily paper on Saturday and
spread it before his spouse. Then he
pointed to the scare heads at the top
of the front page telling of the awful
tornadoes, cyclones, sdow, wind,
death and disaster everywhere but in
Kansas and said: “Now, my dear,
just pick out your location and we
will move.”—Anthony Bulletin.
