New Rule at Land Office.

The Denver land office recently
received letter from Washington
directing attention to the new law
concerning the making of final
proof in taking up government
land. The law previously was
that IN "proving up" on stone and
timber lands the aflidavits and
proofs had to be sworn to before
the officers oe the land office. The
new law allows the making of
proofs before any properly accred-
tied judge or clerk of II court of
record. In announcing the new
rule Commissioner Herman wrote:
"Under its provisions, all affi-
dnvit~, proofs and oaths of any
kind thereafter made by applicants
and entrymen under the home
stead, pre-emption, timber culture,
desert land and timber and stone
acts may, in addition to those now
authorized to take such afiiduvits,
proofs and oaths, be made before
any United States commissioner
or commissioner of the court ex-
erciing federal jurisdiction in the
territory, or before the indge or
clerk Of any court of record in the
land district in which the lands
are situated.
"In case the affidavits, proofs
and oaths hereinhefnre mentioned
be taken ont of the county in
which th,. land is located the np.
plicant mnst show by affidavit that
it was taken before the nearest or
most accessible officer qualified to
take such afiidaviis, proofs or oaths
in the land districts in which the
lands applied for are located.
"Such showing by affidavit need
not he made. however. in making
final proof if the proof he taken in
the town or city where the news
paper is published in which the
final proof notice is printed.

Farm and Dairy Notes.
From FieId and Farm.


A good many of our Colorado
people are thinking about putting
in kafiir corn this spring as for
age crop. 1t is good plan to
SOW the seed with press drill the
same as for wheat, using one
bushel to the acre, near the middle
of May and cut the stand early in
September before frost comes. 1t
will make from three to eight tons
of the finest hay. 1t is punched
up in big shocks, about a ton in a
shock, and left in the field until
wanted in winter. Cattle will
come through the winter on this
hay alone and in good condition.
The hay is worthless if not shocked
before frost and must be cut green.
A Jefferson county man who
believes that cows are the sure
things in the long run has been
feeding with special reference to
sustaining good flow of milk,
using mixture of bran and cot
tonseed meal with the usual alfalfa
ration. His cows have paid for
their bourd all the way from S2.75
to So apiece a month and are now
in good trim to give lots of milk
during the summer if the short
grass holds out. He disposes of
poor mixers, as he finds it does
not pay TO keep them. Last year
his cows each returned a profit of
$50 worth of milk and by keeping
better grade this summer he ex-
poets to materially increase the
amount.
The far west intends to create Il
new sphere of pork production
and a new kind of hog, 1t will be
the alfalfa bacon hog. Colorado.
Montana, Utah, Idaho, Kansas and
Nebraska will raise them. They
will not come in contact with the
lard hog marketed So plentifuIIy
in the east but will have sphere
o: usefulness peculiarly their own.
Ever see hog eat alfalfa. We
saw II bunch turn up their noses Mt
corn the other day. When the
owner saw the grsin before them
he shouted: Here, give them al
falfa-and the way they pitched
into that hay was caution. All
the mountain states can raise peas
and with this grain and alfalfa we
can put up bacon hog calculated
10 furnish breakfast meat for the
world.
One reason why the people en-
gagged in dairyine are prosperous
is because it is cash business.
There is no credit with the old
COW. We feed her today and to-
morrow she paws us back in cash.
The dairyman does not have to tell
his hired man that he can pay him
when he sells his wheat or bunch
OF lambs or wheE the peaches are
marketed. He has the cash every
week or every month. The daiiy-
man need not run bill at his gro
Gerry or anywhere else. His bust
ness Is II cash proposition and he
can pay as he goes. This is one
of the basic principles of prosper
ity. Run up no debt and pay as
you go. 1t gets man into the
habit of doing things on business
principles and when he does this
he has started on the road to pros
perity.
To make the best possible hay
from field of oats il should be
sowed with that intention. The
ground should be prepared in the
usual way and the seed put in tol-
erably thick, say from two to four
bushels an acre, according to the
fertility Ut the ground, and it may
be well to crosscast when an ovei
abundance of seed is used. If
snwn too lhinlv on good ground
the hay is apt to be coarse and

A TRUE STORY.

A homesteader named Greg
DRY had a peculiar experience
with a moose a few days ago
that is we'll worth relating.
Gregory is a Frenchman and
lives in northern Itasca county
on a homestead that borders the
swamp. A few days ago while
he was at supper, the interior of
the house became darkened and
upon looking out, he saw a moose
standing at his cabin window,
thus excluding the light. He
ran out with his rifle--a 30 y. S.
and to his amazement there
stood three moose, two bulls and
a COW, and how large they looked
and how excited he got. They
were within twelve feet of him
and seemed to cover the whole
field. He shot once, twice,
three times, but the moose
stood there. He shot again and
again at the nearest one, a big
bull, twelve feet away, but with
out effect. His gun was empt1ed
and he went into the house and
reloaded and went out again and
began shooting. Finally shot
struck the COW moose that was
not at all in range of shooting,
but stood to his right, and was
disabled. The two monsterous
bull-moose refused to 60 away,
and Gregory kept on shooting
until he got discouraged and gave
up. A neighbor homesteader
heard the shooting and went
hence finding Gregory in high
ly nervous condition, and yelling
for help. The neighbor tells US
that the man was so excited and
so i'll with moose fever that every
shot. missed the mark, and that
the shooting of the cow moose
was accidental, but not fatal.
The obstinacy of the males in
taking to the woods is accounted
for by the cows inability to go,
and neither of the two was in
jured.

The Pioneer is pleased to an

ging camps in Beltram county

the entire county, and those are
very mild. This statements au-
thorized by DR.. Blakeslee, county
physician, who tells us this en-
couraging story. For the past
few years smallpox was a source
of much annoyance to the loggers
in this part of the country, as
well as the lumber jacks who
were victims by the hundred, re-
sulting not always in death, but
it is expensive and disagreeable.
