held by the latter. This does
not include the school land pat

ty, nor that strip of land extend
ing from the initial boundary
monument, to the northern boun-
dry of the state, containing about
IS, 900 or $4,000 acres,
AS soon as these last two mat.
ters are settled and reported on

Senator Culberson will introduce
a bill providing that all the mon
ey due the state of Texas shall be
paid. This amount is conserva
lively estimated at 100000.

They are easier and more pleasant
to- take, more mild and, gentle
in effect, and more reliable as
they can always be depended
upon. Then they cleanse and in
vigorate the stomach and leave
the bowels in natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in eff

Why not Here.

There is no reason why the
scheme outlined below should not
work as well here as in Kansas,
and time will come in this
country when the great wealth
will be added to our resources:
w. f. Jensen secretary of the
Continental Creamery Company,
has just returned from two
weeks trip in Western Kansas,
Eastern Colorado and Western
Oklahoma. He brings back some
very interesting facts regarding
the condition of the country and
the outlook for business, says a
Topeka special.
"The main object of my visit, "
said Mr.. Jensen, twas TO push a
matter IN which all Kansas is
deeply interested, but which Is
not generally known. For sever
al months we have been trying TO
get the cattlemen of Western
Kansas and Oklahoma and East
ern Colorado TO commence milk
ing their COWS. There are hun
dreds of thousands of fairly good
COWS out there running on the
range and pastures, every one of
which might be making their
owners from 81 to s. per month.
Year after these COWS have given
their milk to calves which would
have done just as well on the
skim milk and a little meal or
other feed. The butter fat in this
milk is worth $500 per ton-rath-
er expensive feed for calves.
"Well, we have begun to get
the ranchmen to see our way.
One ranchman near Oakley will
milk seventy-five COWS this sum-
mer and several Others have de-
termined to milk all the way from
30 to POO COWS apiece, and this
means that these men will be
getting from $3.50 to $1,000 per
month out of COWS which hereto
fore have brought them
nothing but the calf. If one half
of the ranchmen in Western Kan
sas would milk their cows, use a
separator to skim their milk and
ship the cream to market, there
would be $500, 900 a month going
into that country for cream. 1t
is absolutely the greatest thing in
the state. The possibilities for a
dairy industry are beyond conf
putation. This is no dream, but
II reality, which is even now on
the verge of realization.
That is the greatest dairy
country on earth. The buffalo
grass, on which the cattle can
pasture every month in the year,
when they can get to the ground
at all, makes the finest favored
butter in the world. The high
altitude, the healthy cattle, the
pure air and other conditions,
make it an ideal country for the
dairy business, and it is coming
up now by leaps and bounds.
The San Angelo press. (San Angelo, Tex.) 1897-1907, 1902-04-30

There is constant demand now
adays for information concerning
measures for keeping weeds out
of grazing land. Weeds are gen.
orally plants that have become
adapted to living in many
climates, on many soils and
under various conditions. Some
of them are truely cosmopolitan,
being found in almost all coun-
tries. Their transportation to
other countries is usually due to
man, very common means of
distribution being through acct
dental mixture with grain, vege-
tables or grass seed. Railroads,
particularly through the freight
trains, carry seeds of weed plants
from place to place. In such
ways weeds suddenly come to
appear in new and unexpected
regions.
The vegetation existing in any
section of country, if left to
itself, usually repels invaders.
The season that certain kinds of
plants are found growing predom-
inantly anywhere is because, for
the time being, they are best
fitted to survive under local con-
ditions. Those less we'll fitted are
crowded out, and perish. In
ain old plant region, MS II forest or
a prairie, vegetation of a particu-
lar sort has established itself us
the result of centuries of compe-
tition with otherplants contrasting
for the same space, Seeds of
invading species, however, may
lie dormant for some time in the
soil, awaiting the clearing of the
land to terminate and grow.
Notice the new plants that appear
where land is cleared of trees or
sod and left to itself.
So long as the conditions in
nature surrounding the wild
prairie grass remain the same,
they will continue to grow in
about the same extent. Man
however, changes natural condi'
items violently, By breaking sod
and putting in crops he opens
places which afford room fol
strange plants, weeds, the seeds
OF which are carried thence tc
neighboring grazing lands Ever
then they will not drive out the
wild grasses if the latter are left
to themselves. On the contrary
if a farm is abandoned, weeds
may riot for few years on the
broken land, but the sod retake'
the soil eventually in the prairie
regions and the weeds are crowded
out.
The most common cause o
weed invasion of native pastures
is overpasturing, whereby TIT
wild grasses are kept down 50 tina
they cannot compete with thu
weeds. The latter being unpala
table usually are left undisturbeC
by the stock. Sometimes thes
are introduced weeds never founC
on the prairie, az iron-weed
snow-on-the-mountain or milk
weed, horse weed, and thistle
Others are tough prairie perennial
growing among the grasses bu
not spreading greatly unless tn
latter are kept down.
Prevention of weed-invasion o
pastures is ganerally perfectl.
possible by grazing fewer hea(
per acre.
