The matter Of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
dlC SOU dllu ulluCVClOlJCd,
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate.

The following decision by the
Supreme Court of Nevada defines
the right of a mine owner to follow
a ledge beyond his own line.
"The right of the owner of a
mining location to follow a ledge
beyond his side lines is limited to
the right to follow the ledge down.
ward-that is, on its dip-and he
has not the right to follow it later
ally or along its stake; as if there
was in AS location the apex of a
ledge which left his location by
crossing its easterly side-line, and
entered BIS location by crossing
his westerly end-line, and the ledge
turned from AS location and en-
tered BIS at such an angle that the
portion there could not be reached
without following the ledge later
ally, or on its strike, then A could
not extract ore from that portion"

phere.

The season is approaching when
the festive candidate will go about
to spiel and spout and harrow up
the State; will agitate the atmos-
phere with fierce linguistic storm
by churning and burning it with
rhetoric that is warm: will fay the
opposition with fervor m~ostintense
lambasting it and FASTING it with
massive eloquence; will hold its
faults and failings up in terrible
array and give himself full latitude
with platform and with platitude
in telling of his attitude on ques-

The spellbinders and orators will
soon begin to prime with campaign
stuff on which to bluff and make
their stunts sublime; will load with
ammunition not SO deadly as it is
loud, with matter that will scatter
wide enough to hit the crowd and
afterward upon the stump, they
will the welkin piece; will heat the
air and beat the air with gestures
that are fierce, will agitate the
people in the good old fashioned
way to their full capacity of logic
and loquacity will show their per-

Political committees will appear
on the scene directing and collect

the speeches from the records will
be scattered far and wide, the heel

on the side; professions will be en-
rolled; the voters and the foaters
will be rounded up and polled;
each side will claim the populous
is headed straight its way, while
orators will fake them up statistics
that will shake them up and stories
that will wake them up on ques-

THE Hidalgo Advance has this
to say of Claude Morton's irrigat-
ed farm: It does the heart of man
good to look upon a farm and gar
den like Mr.. Morton s; SO neat and
clean; with perfect uniformity in
width of rows, and distances be-
tween plants; and every other thing
on or about the place in exact ap-
ple-pie order. But it takes work
combined with no mean order OF
intelligence to bring about these
results. Claude Morton has wrought
to a purpose and is sure to reap a
golden harvest.

THE esteemed BROWNSVILLE
HERALD is up in arms against
some knockers of its town who
live in Corpus Christi. There are
a few others, also, THE HERALD
thinks, who live at certain towns
along the Lott Road, and who are
always saying disparaging things
of their neighbors at the mouth OF
the river. Now, these things
should not be. It is well that we
should boost our own town to the
limit, but when we endeavor to
do this by disparag;ng others we
ruin our own cause III the estima-

ey Out Of the Deal.
We had been hunting for ducks
On the upper Schroon river and had
failed to bag single one. We were
warm, tired and disguised and In
the mood when hunter will kill
anything" when, padding around
bend of the stream, We saw little
clearing, a log camp and a long,
lank old woodsman who was seated
on the bank complacently smoking
corncob pipe. Directly in front
Of him flock of tame ducks were
swimming In the river.
Heavens and earth! I've good
mind to take a shot at those tame
ones" said my friend. Then, rails
ing his voice, he called out to the
man on the bank:
S1'll give you dollar if you'll
let me have shot at those ducks"
''Hand over your dollar fust."
1t was done, and my friend let fly
both barrels, almost annihilating the
flock.

Ar headquarters of the St. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico railway
nothing IS known of any proposed
schedule which will run night
trains to Brownsville to make COLI
nection at Sinton with the daily
Sap. The announcement OF such
a service by an agent of the sleep
ing car concern IS looked upon as
ridiculous. The interests OF the
Gulf Coast Line demand a daylight
schedule so that all passengers
NAV see ali the rich land they
traverse. Corpus Crony.
Even headquarters do not al
ways know just what IS in contem-
plation by the powers that be.
And perhaps such a change as the
one mentioned would not mater
tally hep Corpus Christi, and the
wish may be father TO the thought
that a sleeper schedule would be
so ridiculous.
