AN EXHORBITANT CLAIM.
Newl1n Creek Ranchman Sues City
for Eight Thousand.

Hippolitte Calinet has filed suit in
the district court of Fremont county
against the city of Florence in the
sum of $4,000 for alleged damages.
1t seems that Calmet is the owner of
q dry ranch somew here in the neigh-
borhood of Newlin creek and his COM
plaint filed sets forth that his crops
are damaged not less than 800 each
year by a shortage of water caused
by the city of Florence appropriating
it to its own use.
Mr.. Caimet does not state who was
to blame last summer when the city
was pumping water out of Its we'll to
supply the town when there was not
a drop of water coming down Newlin
creek, but it is supposed that he win
also blame the city because it did not
rain last summer and also because it
did not snow the winter before last SO
as to make water which the city could
steal from him.
Mayor Moore was served by sum
mons yesterday and no doubI bitter
fight will be made against allowing
the damages.
Even if there was a slight cause for
damages the claim is exhorbitant.
All the ranches on Newlin creek to-
gether, including the one owned by
the city, are not worth the damages
prayed for in the complaint.

The wet season, in many sections Of
the country, is responsible for the
trouble in calves, known as lung
worms. The worm Is small and
thread-llke and gets into the wlndpIpe
Of the calf, The trouble is thought to
be due largely to the calves drinking
from ponds, which contain the eggs Of
the worms and also from pasturing on
wet grounds. There is, at present, no
remedy which may be relied upon, so
that the best plan is to prevent the
trouble, II possible, and this can best
be done by keeping the calves in a
warm, dry barn and seeing that the
water they drink Is from a well and
as pure as possible, They should not
be allowed to pasture until the grass
Is dry, nor ehould wet grass be fed to
them. The plan of injecting oil OF
turpentine into the windpipe Is not
very satisfactory, but it Is the best
thing known, and in some cases has
proved satisfactory. Indianapolis

GREAT CORK FORESTS.
Immense Tracts in Spain and Portu-
gal Are Covered with the
Evergreen Oak.

The cork forests of Spain cover an
area of 100000 square miles, produc-
ing the finest cork in the world. These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
belts of territory, those in the region
of Catalonia and part of Barcelona be-
ing considered the first in Importance
Although the cork forests of Estre-
madura and Andalusia yield cork of
much quicker growth and possessing
some excellent qualities it's consist
ency is less rigid, and on this account
it does not enjoy the high reputation
which the cork of Catalonia does, says
the Boston Herald.
In Spain and Portugal, where the
cork tree. or Quercas suber, is in
dlgenous, it attains to height vary
ing from So to 60 feet and the trunk
to diameter of 80 to SO inches. This
species of the evergreen oak is often
heavily caparisoned with widespread
ing branches, clothed with ovate OBJ
long evergreen leaves, downy under
meath and the leaves slightly serrat-
ed. Annually, between April and May,
it produces a flower of a yellowish
color, succeeded by the acorns. Over
10000 square miles in Portugal are de-
voted to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain and
Portugal are virtually the same. The
barking operation is effected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength
to withstand the rough handling it
receives during this operation, which
takes place when it has attained the
fifteenth year of its growth. After the
first stripping the tree is left in this
juvenescent state to regenerate, sub
sequent strippings being effected at
intervals of not less than three years,
and under this process the tree will
continue to thrive and bear for up
ward of $50 years.
