His Last Hope Realized.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor OF this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During 1is
travelling about and afterwards MS
camping upon his claim, he encount-
cred much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check aud along
in June the case became so bad ne ex-
pected to die. One day one OF ms
neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Dhamberlain's Collie, Chol-
EZRA vnd Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given MIN
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated, The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and ne can
not help but feel grateful. The season

A FORESTRY TALK.

The address made at the Court
House by Prof. J. ". Riggs, of
the [. S. Dept. of Agriculture,
on the 10th inst, differed some
what in point of texture to the
lectures generally given TO small
towns in the West on Forestry,

on Forestry is the usual result
where local surroundings do not
permit of little personal re
miniscences.
The meeting was fairly we'll

Professor first informed his
hearers that it would not be con

part should they desire to ask
questions and do so, and as d
result many good thoughts were
disseminated by those who were

some valuable knowledge from

'" I'll Commenting on the ma gniti-
cence of our canon, Prof. Riggs
said in part, that 1.-The Paloduro
canon Is equal in point of gor-
geousness and scenery to any of
the great canons of the world.
The state of Texas made a great
mistake in allowing this
magnificent canon to become
the property of private owners.
1t could be made one OF the
most desirable game reserves in
world, the famed Yellowstone
Park not excepted. And that
its yet unappreciated merit
would be applauded by tourists
from every part of the world,
and would be to Randall county
and the plains generally, typical
of that eXemplitied in Switzer-
lands proximi ty to the world
of the picturesque, the Beauty
of Beauties.
From the fact that useful
knowledge can always be elicit
ed from source that puts
theories into experimental and
thence to practical methods it
is a rare treat that some OF us
/ were enabled to hear the dis
course by Prof. Riggs. Eek
perience without learning does
more good than learning with
out experience and the comb
nation of the two factors can be
depended upon This is the
service we are now getting for
the simple act of asking, from a
government that is converting
science to 4 working basis in
every factor Of our material ad-
vancement. Conservatism is a
chief characteristic of this great
bureau Of Information, and, as
Prof. Riggs correctly remarked,
information is never given un-
solicited. Our farmers, if they
are so dispos ed, have access to
any information that will aid
them, and the experience and
learning OF hundreds of assist
ants are placed 'at their dis
posal.
Prof. Riggs, while in CONVEX
sation with the News represen-
sative, said that reproduction
of the tree kingdom was greatly /
hampered on the canon by the |
state of uncultivation and the |
ravages of stock and it would |
only be question of time until
the growth would be extinct
but that Mr.. Evans, the local
agent OF the Block y holdings
had signfied an intention, upon
his having called that gentle
man 5 attention TO the fact, of
paralleling the canon banks with
j fence in order to perpetuate
the growth.

RANDALL CO. POSSIBILITIES.

There is not county in the Pan
handle better suited to raising crops
81 nearly ali kinds than Randall Co.
Our staple crops are wheat, oats,
and kaffir corn. Besides these, our
farmers raise sorghum cane, melons,
hay. and almost every variety OF
vegetable and fruit products. Tho
fruit and vegetables area is lncrcas-
my year BY year There are other
crops which might be raised profit
ably but which have never been
tested TO any great extent IN the
county. 1t is only question of
time, however, when they will be.
AS a usual rule farmers are our
most conservative citizens. They
are practical. not speculative: they
arc not inclined to try experiments,
but when once convinced that there
is merit in anything. they are as
quick to adopt it as any other class.
An experiment farm in this county
would be OF mcalculGblc advantage
to the farmers directly and TO every
badly else indirectly But as our
prospect for an experiment farm is
rather remote, just at this time,
the best thing to it is for each farm
CT to set aside at least one acre
every wear in the best possible con-
dition and keep it well cultivated.
If it fails, YOU have not lost much.
If it succeeds Won have learned
something that may benefit you,
your children and your neighbors
all their lives. If our farmers would
adopt this rule and manage their
little onc-acrc crops according to
adyiccs from farm bulletins which
are now sent 10 every farmer in the
land free for the asking. We would
need no government experiment
farms. Each farmer could have one
OF his own. But how many will do
this: Very few We imagine. Some
farmers don't believe in scientific
farming and boot at the idea Of
learning anything from farm papers

goods, which, for the sake of ar

man who advertises is generally
a good business man to the extent
that he knows where to pur-

by advertising and making quick
