Solid Walls of Wheat
80 the Kansas - -.


Oklahoma's largest wheat field lies fes
miles vest Of the small railway station OF Bliss
in KAY county. II contains 1000 acres, aud
belongs TO the noted ranch "l0I'' which con-
trolls 1900 acres Of land leased from the
Ponca Indians. Two hundred men. more
than 800 mules and horses and twenty four
big twjne binders were employed in cutting
aud shocking the gram grown on this magni-
hcent field this year, aud it was oct uus5l last
Sunday, with I'm army of laborers working
night and day for ten days, that the last acre
was harvested.
Every principle Of good farming was OBJ.
served in cultiyating this big field, with the
result that the total output will not be less
than 100, 600 bushels of as good wheat as can
be found in Oklahoma. 1t is estimated that
the average acre yield will be from - 10 %
bushels. There are many acres that will run
from 40 to 80 bushels. Buyers have already
offered 90 cents a bushel for the entire crop.
Ii is probable that the owners will get from
80 to 20 cents, u gross sun of S65, geo or
$4,000. The COS, Of producing this whea,
and putting it on board cars will be . cents
a bushel, leaving net profit Of about $50,
600.
Wheat was king in the Strip las, week, and
its importance eclipses everything else on
ranch ''l0I.n Numerically, a 500-acre wheat
field is not very impressive. To ride over il.
however. IN blazing sunshine is to give rise to
the feeling that it covers the face OF the earth.
The 5000 acres Of wheat on ranch "'l0l''
are divided into two fields of almost equal
size by the Salt Fork River stream that
pours down a large volume Of water at this
time of year. Great yellow unduations Of
grain swept alongside the river and then away
toward the distant hills, until they seemed to
reach the sky. 1t was so far across the fields
that the shocks look like solid wall OF wheat.
In the field on the south side of the river the
first circuit with binder was made by Super
intendent Miller
.'There was not man who could guess how
how long it would take me to make the
round. said he Il piled supply Of twlne
on my binder, and started. 1t was almost
diuner time when / got back. | was gone
four hours and travelled six miles.
The distances are SO great on the ranch that
it is impossible for the men to turn in at one
place for their meals The loss of time would
amount to hundreds Of dollars in season.
Accordingly, camps are established at differ.
ent places, generally close to a stream, where
the men live in tents and the meals are pre-
pared by ranch cooks.

Whel the Navajo Indian is ailing he
builds hDdNf a little hut Just large
enough to crawl into, plasters it inside
and ont with mud SO as to make it
alright and then, taking with him a
heap Of stones intensely heated in an
adjoining fire, he closes the entrance
Of his machine hut from within and re-
mains there, violently perspiring until
all but suliocated. He then comes out,
has a rundown, which to an Indian is
a phenomenon, and believes he is
cured, and he generally is.
What is practically the same print
tive treatment is now recommended
for the cure of locE jaw This affection.
when caused by Il wound, has long
been considered incurable. and only of
late years has il yielded in some degree
to the administration of a new class
Of remedies. among which are the In
dian woOrali poison, and enormous
doses of alcohol. 1t is now said that
all the alarming symptoms of the seiz-
ure can be removed by violent persplr-
alton. The case is quoted of a young
man whose hand was caught in the
gearing of threshing machine. Part
Of the skin was carried off. For a
fortnight everything seemed to be
progressing, but one morning the pa
ticnt awoke with rigid jaws, intense
pain over the sternum, difficult breath
ing and convulsive starts in the lower
limbs.
The doctor Immediately put hoops
under the bedclothes, in order to pre-
vent their contact with the body, and
then got four pots filled with quick
lime. which he slightly moistened with
water. TO prevent the skin from be-
ing scOrched each pot was wrapped in
linen, and then placed on each side of
the patient, orders being left with the
family to moiSton the quicklimc occa-
sionally and to change it when ex-
hauSted. The heat engendered was
SO intense that on the first day the bed
clothes caught fire. The perspiratiOn
induced was beyond all belief: but the
patient, though greatly Frustrated, was
1 cured and after a few days of good
/ nourishment and close attention he
was able to 90 to work.

A Highly Interesting and Instructive Talk
on Coastal Topo<raphy"-Jersoy Coast
Said to he sinking { alifornia Compare
lively New Country.
Prof. Oscar c. S. Carter, of the Cen
trail High School, Philadelphia, gave an
illustrated talk before the Engineers
Clu5, recently, on Coastal Topo-
graphy." The subject was treated in
a manner quite new to the older MEM
bers of the club, and illustrated by pho
tographs OF various portions OF the
coast line of North America, bordering
on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Taking up a definite portion of the
coast line, ike that of Maine, or an is
land like Nantucket, he showed what
forces had been at work, ancient, and
comparatively recent, to produce the
results now seen. The coast line of
Maine, its rocky character, studded
with islands. is due to the submergence
of The mainland; the islands are simply
drowned hills: the valleys that inter-
yencd have also been submerged.
The islands of Nantucket and Mar
tha's Vineyard have no bed rock, but
