RUSSO.TURKISH TREATY.
The Alliance Is Denied by Hail Afaat

London, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Central News from Cons;antinople says
that in an interview today HALL Afaat
Pasha the grand vizier. declared thar
the rumor of an offensive and defensive
treaty between Russia and Turkey was
absolutely unfounded. Such a treaty
had neither been concluded nor medi.
tated.
In we'll informed circles this state
ment is believed to be probably a mere
diplomatic bubble. the arrangement
between the two powers may not be
embodied in a treaty, but it is becom-
ing to be generally believed that an
understanding exists between them
that II amounts to a treaty.

,troOming Farm Horses.

Horses on the farm do not have the
sleek look that horses in city liveries
have. Neither Will they accomplish so
much work. The difference is partly
owing to the fact that the horse in the
city has larger proportion of grain
while the farm horse. even when work
ing. gets NEST of his nutrition from
hay. But grooming has also good
deal to do with the superior sickness of
the city horses coat. The curry comb
IS not so much used as it should be on
farm horses. We know many places
where the brush and curry comb are
seldom used except while the horse is
shedding its coat. But used at any time
it promotes the secretion of oil. which
moistens the coat and makes it shine.

Public Lands in Oklahoma.

A careful investigation of the public
records d.scioses the fact that there arc
yet several millions of acres of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and settlement.
1t has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri-
cultural purposes are already occupied,
but such is not the fact. Owing to the
method adopted for the opening Of these
lands to settlement, in many cases as
high as five or six persons would settle
on single track on the day of the race,
and rather than stand the expense of 4
contest. or run the risk of other trou-
BILE, would, unknown to each other.
abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands at those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines of railroads.
and thus many hundreds of almost
equally as good farms as are in Okla
hcma were pasesd over in the mad rush
for homes
II is true that large portion OF the
yet unclaimed public lands are more flt
for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes: yet there are still hundreds of
good homes awaiting the taking ia that
country and undoubtedly a large num-
