WHEN MISSOURI WAS OPENED
The Rush for Land by SettieTs-"o"
the Pioneers Helped One
Another.

r, j. Dale has been telling the Car
thage Press of incidents attending the
opening of Missouri lands to settlers
He saws: an 1888 this section OF the
vast Louisiana purchase began to be
sought by settlers from Kentucky and
Tennessee, many of whom came via
central Missouri, Stacker Vivian, at Sar-
coke. made the first settlement in the
present Jasper county, at SarcoXie,
and was followed by the FuIlertons
there, and by John Onstott and Isaac
Seeley, on Center creek, south of here
i. j. Dale, with his father, Elijah t.
Dale, settled at the head of Turkey
creek, near Duenweg, in 1888, They
could see ten miles across the prairie,
and when prairie schooner was sight
ed young Dale stopped blowing, rode
forth to meet and welcome the new
arrivals and to pilot them to Dale
spring, in hopes of having them To-
cate near, for neighbors, Thus the
country filed up, Later, all hands
would turn out and help the newcomer
raise his log house in a single day.
Along in the sos congress passed the
prccmption act, preempting any new
| lands claimed by settlers from future
/ land office sales when the country
should be surveyed and secionized
In 1910 the west part Of the present
Jasper county was surveyed for the
first time, and all land previously set
tied belonged to the pioneer on his
filing his claim and proofs. Then at
the land sales in Springfield, the near
est land office, any other land could be
had by private entry at SIPS an acre,
Soldiers of the union army were given
land warrants by the government, and
these were turned into cash by sale
to individuals. Thus r. j. Dale, now
one of the Oldest settlers in Carthage
bought soldiers warrants and filed on
an so in West Carthage, embracing
Cassil place and Chase & Sauson's adj
ditiOn, at 70 cents an acre, In the next
year. 1855, Mr.. Dale realized handsome
ly on his investment by selling what
is now one of the choicest residenc,
sections in Carthage for $3.50 an acre
In 1856, with Kimbro & Shepard, Mr.
T. Dale filed on a square section east o
Joplin at 70 cents, and sold in 1868 a
$3.50 an acre. The land turned gu
! later to be the rich Pitcher lead land

with neryines and tonics. The reason
he does not often make a cure is be-
cause he does not recognize the trou'

In a large majority of the cases ca
tarrh of the female organs is the
cause. Peruna relieves these cases
promptly because it cures the catarrh.
Peruna is not a palliative or a sedative
or a neryine or stimulant. 1t is a
specific for catarrh and cures catarrh
wherever it may Turk in the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna at last. As she says, the doc
tors did not seem to understand what
the trouble was and the medicine he
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark al
once and she is now recommending
this wonderful remedy to all the other
girls in the United States.

ynIue of the Walking Horse.

There can be no question Of the
value of horse that is able to walk
three or four miles an hour. Some
neople who are unable to look at but
one side of question, object to such
horses, because it is impossible for
man to pillow ut that gait for ten
hours a day. But this is no objection.
If n horse can go four miles an hour,
he can 90 three in the same length
of time, and this is none too fast Tor
good plowing. A slow team, going
Mt the rate of two miles an hour, does
not turn a furrow well, for the fur
row slice will often fall back, when
slowly turned, especially in stiif land
or sod. The quicker movement gives
sufficient velocity to throw the fur
row slice completely orer and break
il loose from the subsoil. Besides, 1t
is better to pillow one or two acres n
day of six hours than the same
amount in one of ten, and the quicker
way is not only more effective in
quality of work, but is easier on the
man who is driving. In narrowing,
rolling or any of the multifarious
duties that a horse is called upon to
do on a farm, a quick movement Is
indispensable to good work; and
when ON the road the saving of one
fourth to onc-third the time is a
great aid to expedition in work, and
is consequently economical. A draft
horse that has been trained to walk
four miles an hour is worth in money
fully twice as much as one that
makes 2Ia to 3 miles an hour
This is rapid age, and crops must
be planted rapidly, harvested in a
hurry and gotten to market before
prcies 90 down, and slow horses have
no place in it.-Falmers' Home Jour

FARMERANDP PLANTER.
A PROFITABLE SIDE ISSUE.
Raising HOGS ON the Farm, at Pres
emf Prices of Ment, Prohta-
bile Side Line.

Hogs have always been profitable
side issue upon every farm. They live /
SO cheaply and mature SO quickly that |
there is always a good margin OF
profit. Soon after the war of the COS
the stealing of hogs became such
constant source OF loss to farmers
that very many gave up raising hogs
entirely Having once fallen into the
habit of buying meat, large part OF
the farming population have contn-
ued to do so. This has been partle-
ularly SO with the tenant class.
This was very unfortunate. Many
millions If dollars have been paid for
western meat that should have been
kept at home.
At present prices of meat, hogs will
pay. Every farmer should at least
raise his own home supply lie can
raise it for ouc-half he pays for 1t.
The improved breeds of hogs will
make good porhers in from nine 10
eleven months.
The cost of growing them viii de-
pend upon the management. IT lit
tie care is taken to provide good pas
lures of Bermuda, and then arrange
mcnts made to supplement these with
suitable forage crops, the cost OF
growing hogs will be very little.
Patches of ground-prase, coW-peas,
sorghum, sweet potatoes etc, may be
so arranged that they will have
constant supply Of cheap food all
| through the season,
The old idea Of feeding hogs en-
tircly upon corn has given way to
new and better methods Growing a
succession of such crops as those men
toned above and many others not
mentioned. makes it easy TO have tine
hogs for killing that have cost very
little.
The new and improved breeds help
to do this. The hog is no longer de-
pendent upon "rooting' for living.
The old adage, root hog or die is
no longer applicable. 1t is now eat
hog and grow The best hogs have
very little disposition to root. They
