Rumored That Good Flow of
Oil Has Been Struck.
ON LAND NEAR THE TOWN.
Property Is Held on a Tax
Title and Well Is Plugged
for the Present.

The story is being told the quiet
that who has land near Dodge
City struck nice flow of oil last week
while putting down ordinary we'll.
THE GLOBE REPUBLICAN can not vouch
for the story, any further than to state
that it is believed by certain men in
Dodge City who received the informa-
ton in manner which has convinced
them of its truthfulness. According to
this story the lucky man is holding the
land a tax title and can not get un-
questioned possession of it for some time
yet. He was having a stock well put
down last week and when about $50 feet
down found that he had a nice flow of
oil. After investigating it thoroughly
he stopped the work on the well, plugged
up the hole and will leave the cork in
until he gets the right kind of title to
the land.
Since the general discovery of oil and
gas all over the county there has been
more than usual thought given in Ford
county to the matter of prospecting for
something in this line. Traces of oil /,
coal and other minerals have been found
at different times and there has been
ample excuse for the inclination felt by
the people here to prospect further. The
| artesian we'll struck north-eas of here
ABOUT TWO weeks ago was at mucn
more shallow depth than artesfan water
is usually found and this has given the
impression to some that the crust between
daylight and the earths treasurers under
ground happens to be thin one in this
locality.
1t is true that one deep we'll bored
down the river from this place several
years ago, and that nothing was found al
the depth of nearly 1000 feet. but this
does not prove that poor location was not
selected for prospecting, or that some
thing might have been found there by
going hundred feet deeper.

This variety of wheat has been used in
this county heretofor for the manufac-
ture of macaronf, but is coming
into use for bread making, producing a
bread that retains the moisture though

grains cannot be given as yet though it
will be considerably above the average.

an All Day Picnic.

The home people who have been push

a possession of which to be particularly
proud.

good many are expected in from the
country never the less. Those who are

business was made when he was paid a
high price for his milk cows He then
concluded that if milk cows were of SO
much more value than other cattle he
would have more of them. From his
drove of COWS he selected ten or twelve
and started in on another experiment
He found that the milk sales soon
amounted to a nice monthly income.
HIS latest move has been to buy his own
separator and now he has the milk busi-
ness f1rmly established and while it
necessitates close attention and consider
able work it makes sure and steady in
come.
Mr.. Sheldon says that many of the far
mers are now receiving from $15 to
above $50 per month for the milk mar
keted. and some of them doing al
most well with their poultry and eggs.
He thinks that it will pay each man who
has as many as ten or twelve cows to buy
his own separator, and he is sure that
the farmer who gives proper attention to
the COWS and the hens will never ex-
perience what is known as hard times.

NICE MONTHLY INCOME
FROM A FEW GOOD COWS

One OF the farmers of Ford county
who has learned that the milk, and the
butter and egg business is the surest way
to success in this country is Mr.. Sheldon
whose place is near Spearville. Mr..
Sheldon has bought a separator and
markets daily supply of cream
Mr.. Sheldon started into the milk busi-
ness some what by accident, but now con-
s1ders that he made the best step he has
made in this county when he began the
experiment At the start he was urged,
by an agent for some creamery who was
collecting milk, TO furnish a small supply
each day. He tried this and found it
profitable. but the real start in the milk
