Do not forget that the herd law will
go into effect the first of June. See that
your cattle do not run at large, so that
they will be taken up and held for dam
ages. The farmers are planting large
crops this season, and are happy in the
prospect OF an abundant harvest They
will not tolerate the rSvages of roaming
stock. They have petitioned for pro-
lection 1t has been granted. The
farmers will see that this law is enforced
and unfenced crops protected, and there
by add thousands of dollars to Ford
county.

Every citizen for their own comfort
and the peace, health and happiness of
others, should see to it that no filth or
offal of any kind, be allowed to remain
on their premises. Every yard and alley

dinance in this matter; thus the health of
the city and perhaps valuable lives may
be saved.

The sooner our farmers realize the ne
cessity of turning over the sod and get
ting it into a state of cultivation. the
sooner the evils complained of will be
remedied. All acknowledge that the
general cultivation of soil and planting
of trees will produce favorable seasons
and prevent the winds. If we had as
much cultivated land in southwestern
Kansas as in the east then would Ford
county be far superior in soil, seasons
and climate to the eastern part of the
state Our railroad facilities and natural
advantages are far in advance of many of
the older states Eastern Colarado Pan
Handle and No Mans Land are all being
placed under cultivation. This will
place Ford county in the midst of an inn
mence agricultural district with hundreds
of miles of well developed farms lying
to the north, south and west. Let onr
farmers do well their part and in five
years Ford county lands will be sought
after at $50 to $50 per acre.

The greatest curiosity in the city is a
bird, captured by NJ. A. Boyer near the

the Gem drug store south of the Santa
Fe track There was great conflict Of
opinions concerning the wonderful fowl,
some pronouncing 1t to be pure porcu-
pine, while others, whose opinions pre-
vailed said it is some species of a bird
1t was not definitely settled as to whether
Or not it is an Irishman's Eagle until the
best authority on natural history was
consulted when it was found to be
''Recurvirosis Americanos' or American
Avoset' native of the northern Pacific
coast. This beautiful bird has come
to this county since the spring rains no
doubt to make this its permanent home
and to prolong its strange existence in
this most salubrious climate.
