CONTROLS THE FIELD
The Standard Oil Company has the
Beaumont Oil Field

Beaumont, Texas, April 29-The
Standard Oil company is in the Beau
mont oil field heavy and strong. There
is no longer any doubt about it.
While the Standardhas not purchased
the docks and terminal facilities, it
has signed an agreement, through its
representatives. III. S. Cullinan & Co.
and John E. Searles of the Cotton
Bale trust, to make exclusive use of
Port Arthur in marketing all of the
tremendous future output from this
great field. Further it is now assert
ed to be fact that Galley and Guffy,
who own the Lucas and three other
gushers, fourth having come in yes
terday, and who have pumping sta
tion and finished pipe line, storing
tanks, etc., here and at Port Arthur,
are in reality partners of the Stand
ard. This apparently explains the
enormous scope of the Galley and
Guify working plans which have
amazed conservative investors.
hdSJ w euuSSuuy d. W. hdChlS, du-
torney for, Cullinan'& Co., and Mr..
Searles, the Standard representative,
closed deal in Kansas City for the
oil rights to 2S. 600 acres of land be-
longing to the Port Arthur Land com
pany. The transfer carried with it
two very important agreements.
First, The Standard representative,
speaking for the corporation, agreed
to make exclusive use of Port Arthur
as q seaboard This Is of tremendous
significance in Port Arthur itself and
all investments here and near by:
second, Messrs. Cullinan & Co. agreed
to begin at once systematic develop
ments of the entire $4,000 acres, that
is, begin prospecting for oil, which is
believed to lie under large part oi
the twenty miles of territory between
Beaumont and Port Arthur.

The Oklahoma Farmers are
Much Encouraged
FLY DESTROYING THE LOUISE
Crop will Still Yield 80 Per
Cent of Last Year
The Louise has Gone into the Tender
Weeds in Large Numbers-Also
eats Young Corn

Guthrie, Ok, April 29.-Reports
from the wheat fields of Oklahoma
give encouragement to the belief that
damage from the green wheat louise
will fall far short of the indications
last week. Warm weather and sun
shine the last four days have devel-
oped the parasite fly in great num-
bers, and the fact that they are des-
troying the louse is plainly seen in the
multitude of empty louse shells from
which the nies have Matched, In one
of the largest fields in Oklahoma,
where the louse was at work in untold
numbers last week there was today
not one louse for every hundred found
several days ago.
The louise in diminished numbers,
was leaving the wheat and going into
the tender weeds that are springing
up in the warm sunshine. The owner,
an expert wheat grower, said that not
withstanding the louise and dry wea-
ther in March he was confident that
his acre yield would not be less than
so per cent of his crop last year, which
was a good one. Had wet, cold wea-
ther continued his loss would have
been much greater. He found that
the louise was capable of doing great
damage to young corn. In wheat
field where the wheat had been greatly
injured he transplanted young corn as
an experiment. The louse attacked
the corn Immediately, and in two days
the plants had turned yellow.

PARKER WINS IN TOPEKA
Republican Mayor Ordered to Give up
His Office.

Topeka, April 29.-In the Topeka
mayoralty contest case Judge Hazen
decided that it is the duty of the city
council to issue to Albert Parker
Democrat, a certificate of election,
but denies the injunction asked for by
Parker to restrain j. w. F. Hughes,
Republican incumbent from appoint
ing subordinate officers. This will
give Parker the Office and will Gust
Hughes, but Hughes viii remain in pos
session until the council iss ues cer-
tificate to Parker, and meanwhile he
no doubt will avail himself of the OPP
portunity to appoint the subordinate
officers. The next step looked for is
an action in quo warranto by Hughes
to oust Parker from the Office.

GIVE THE HOG ROOM.
Animals Crowded In Small Pens
Make Poor Pork.

Make Poor Pork.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that at any
period of hogs life, from birth to the
day of slaughter, he is better Off with
out exercise. Many, If not most, of our
farmers make rail pens not more than
seven feet square inside measure and
besides the feed trough put in from
four to six hogs. Thus crowded they
cannot lie down even with comfort,
and the continued "scrouging' is all
the exercise they get Hogs that are
kept in such pens, necessarily filthy
and nearly always muddy, whether il
rains or not, may take on fat rapidly,
but not flesh.
The increase in weight is from n dis
eased condition of the digestive organs
and the organs of elimination which re-
suits in deposits Of fat, mingled with
scrofulous tubercles and degenerated
glands. We don't want any such
meat. The hog, even up to killing time
should have plenty of fresh air, eXer'
else and room to keep himself clean
which he will do If afforded an oppor.
tunity and which he cannot do when
confined in n narrow cage like n Grim
inal The average pigpen is a place OF
torture and should be abolished and is
abolished by all intelligent and humane
hog raisers.

Before the horses are put to work
very hard in the spring after a winter
of comparative idleness their grain ra-
tlons should be gradually increased,
and the work should not be too hard
or the days too long at first, and this
last is good rule for man as well
as beast, but the man should have
sense enough to look out for himself
and his team. See that the harness is
properly fitted, clean and oiled until
1t is soft and pliable, that it may not
chafe anywhere and thus avoid sore
shoulders and saddle gals. A little
water at the middle Of the half days
work will always be rellshed and may
prevent drinking too much at one time
and thus lessen the danger Of collie

FATTENlNG CATTLE.
PLENTY of Good water Should ne
Kept In Easy Reach.

The successful feeder knows the val
ne of having good water within easy
reach of his cattle. When steers are
doing their best they acquire a disease
which we may call laziness, and there
fore 1t Is very essential that water be
near at hand at all times. If not, they
will endure the pain of thirst for some
time rather than move about much to
quench It,
If water is handy, they will drink
from three to five times daily, while
on the other hand If it is necessary to
slip down steep creek bank and wade
In the mud in order to get to the wa
ters edge they will drink only once or
twice daily and of course all they can
hold each time Probably no bad eff
fects would be noticed, yet the best re-
suits are not to be expected when such
conditions exist.
Tanks are used by most stockmen,
and in this way water is brought with
in easy reach Of the cattle. Yet during
the winter months 1t is no ffttle chore
to keep the Ice broken so they may
drink when they are thirsty. Besides,
1t is clear to all that an animal cannot
make the best gains when 1t must push
| away the pieces Of ice in order 10 get a
sip Of the freezing water and after hav-
Ing just partially quenched its thirst
stand shivering in the wind.
Here again the fattening steer will
not drink the required amount of water
to produce the best results, because the
water is too cold, 1t is not palatable.
1t makes the teeth ache, chills the ami
NAL and retards digestion for n time.
There is no better investment for n
man who intends to feed cattle during
the winter than to buy a tank heater.
These heaters have been used success
fully and With good results at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. One will
be all that Is needed In a tank large
enough to water from 40 to 60 head of
cattle.

RAISING THRIFTY LAMBS.
Much Depends on Care Given Ewes
During the Winter.


No small part of the success in rails
Ing lambs depends upon the care given
the ewes during the winter. 1t is much
easier to grow and fatten a thrifty
lamb that is Of good size and vigorous
when dropped than one that has been
stunted before birth and that has to
overcome the weakness If not disease
that 1t may inherit from a parent that
Is weakened either by scanty feeding
or by overfeeding and getting too fat.
Give the eve enough to eat, but let 1t
be of such n character as to build up
her frame and that of the young she Is
carrying and not to fatten her, says
an experienced sheep raiser. For this
purpose we always wanted clover hay
or the best early cut fine hay we had
and supply of roots, for which pur-
pose we found none that we could pro-
duce easier or cheaper than the fat tur-
nip, and we knew of none that served
our purpose better. We also gave the
ewes n chance to take run in the field
every day when 1t was not raining or
showing too hard. Thus they were
firm Of flesh, muscular and neither fat
nor lean, and they would supply milk
for the lambs even when they had
twins!
The lambs were dropped strong, and
they gained rapidly. The ewes had a
little grain every day in winter, either
bran or oats, and If we chose to give a
little corn fodder, cut up instead of the
hay or If we thought our hay was not
quite as good as usual, little corn
went with the oats or cornmeal with
the bran, say about one-third part. We
used to like to make such n change
when there was very cold weather, as
they not only would eat the coarse
fodder better then, but would bear the
more heating grain.

Marketing Farm Products.

Selling grain and hay from the farm
in bulk reduces the profit in two ways,
1t is expensive to handle and haul,
and 1t takes away elements of fertility
that should be saved and returned to

and so market your product in the
