The William Walter Philips Panhandle
lands viii soon be placed on
the market for sale in small tracts
to actual settlers at reasonable prices ana
on easy terms. Fifty-two thousand
acres of this land are located in the
northern part of Childress county and
rated among our very best lands. Mr..
7. d. Hobert Of Mobeetie, who is Mr..
Philips local Panhandle agent for the
sale of these lands, was in Childress
few days ago, and told THE GAZETTE re-
porter that he was having q correct map
of these lands prepared, and when
printed he will take pleasure III mailing
them to persons who, in good faith, wish
to become actual settlers in the Pan-s
handle.
A new postof1ce has been established
in the northern part of Childress county
called Fresno, with Mr.. P. w. Myers
as postmaster. This makes the fifth
postofice in our county.
Such watermelons I never saw the like
of before. Fifty and seventy five POUNDS
are common sizes. Ordinarily when a
man buys a melon to take home to his
family he picks out the largest and finest
specimens, but here in the Gate City, the
rule is reversed, and the smallest is
selected to get one that can be carried
conveniently.
Mr.. W. T. Levy, prominent young
lawyer, recently Of Longview, Tex. has
located with us and will make Chill

a partnership with District Attorney
Stovall Johnson in the practice of his
profession.
The ladies of the Methodist missionary
society of Childress are making prepar-
ations for a big entertainment next

A FLY PEST.
A History of the Insect that Torments Cat
tie in the North.

A History of the Insect that TOrments Cat
tie in the North.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Last summer
a new pest was reported in cattle in New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and North
ern Virginia. The pest has again made
its appearance this summer. 1t is a
small fly, half the size of house fly, ,
which settles in great numbers around
the base of the horns and in other pOr-
tions of the body where it cannot be
reached by either tail or head. 1t sucks
a moderate amount of blood, reduces the
condition of cattle and lessons the
amount of milk from one-third to one
half. This new pest has been inyesti-
gated by the department of agriculture,
through Acting EntOmologist L. o.
Howard, who has succeeded in tracing
the entire life history of the pest. He
thinks that the fly lays its eggs usually at
night in freshly dropped COW dung, and
t3laft for development from the egg,
8hrough the maggot stage to a
perfect Fly again the space of
only twelve days is necessary.
He says this rapidity of reproduction
accounts for the wonderful number in
which these flies appear, and it follows
with reasonable certainty that the insect
will pass the winter in quiescent stage at
.fhe bottom of dungs dropped late in the
fall Crhe approximate date TO be de-
termined later The preventive is OBJ
viouslv to lime the dung in the fall in
places where cattle preferably stand at
night. At the present time applications
NAV be made to mich cows and valuable
animals which will keep flies away. The
applications may be first, fish oil and
pine tar with little sulphur; second, to-
baccO dust when the skin is not broken;
third, tallow and a small amount Of
carbolic acid. ,.,sssssass19

Ben Hackett left for Southern Texas
last night in search of fat hogs, which he
wishes to purchase. To a GAZETTE re-
porter yesterday he stated that there
were comparatively few hogs in this sec
ton of the state fewer than would
readily find good and profitable MAR
ket. He has been paying 80 cents for
good hogs, and this beats the cattle
business badly. Farmers will surely be-
gin to realize soon that there is money in
hogs, and when they do, the great
benefits arising from this industry,
which is now in its infancy in Texas,
will be felt by all classes of people.
Raise hogs and make your own bacon
and sell your surplus to the buyers.
