HARVARD ROOMS AND

RECORD FOR SOUTHERN STEERS.
Illinois Immunes Fattened in Louis
lana Sell at Top Prices.

A lot of Illinois calves that were
taken to Louisiana in the fall of 1901,
recently sold on the Chicago marke,
at $3.50. the top price for the day.
This was the first load of southern
cattle ever immunized against fever
and fed in Louisiana.
The calves were eight months old
when they were taken to Louisiana
station, immunized for Texas fever
and soon recovered from the sickness
brought on by the treatment. For a
while the cattle were permitted to
Craze in tick-infected pastures, and it
was noted that they did not make
good gains while thus subjected to the
fever ticks.
Before going on full feed, the cattle
were sprayed and the ticks removed
from their bodies. From that time
the gains were excellent, averaging a
little less than two pounds per day.
When sold, the steers averaged 1851
pounds.
The experiment was made for the
purpose of demonstrating the practi-
cability or feasibility or feeding
northern cattle in the cotton growing
districts of the south. All the feeds
used were native to Louisiana; cotton
seed meal and hulls, sugar, molasses
and grasses. The cheapness of these
feed made it possible to fatten the
cattle more economically than in the
north.
Louisiana and other southern farm
ers have made it a practice not to han.
die their cattle on full feed at any
time of the year, and the college
officials trust the results of their ex-
periments will have the effect of dis,
couraGing this practice of the farmers.
With more fulfilled cattle being sent
to market from the south, that section
would lose much of it's reputation for
scrub steers"

the old Harvard buildings still pointed
out to visitors.
Among the names that may be
picked out in the lists already neatly
posted in Holworthy there are many
that Immediately awaken interest.
Here, for example, is the room once
occupied by Francis Parkman, the his
torian, during the period when he may
be supposed to have been laying the
foundation of mis- future place as one
of the most interesting and exact Of all
American writer's of history. And here
also lived George Ticknor Curtis,

at one time. The entire force OF bind
ers will cut about 700 acres of wheat
per day.
While the harvest was going on,
another force of men was busy getting
the five threshing outfits ready TO
thresh out the grain, which will be
hauled at once to Bliss and shipped
directly to market, only enough being
kept on hand to supply the ranch with
seed wheat for the next year.
While the wheat men were harvest
ing the crop and the other crew was
preparing to thresh out the grain, still
another force of men was laboring in
the single corn field of over 1000
acres, clearing it of weeds. On June
20 it was waist high and was receiv-
ing it's last cultivation.
A feature of the farm is fifty acre
watermelon patch. The Miller boys
always plant about this amount, and
supply the Ponca Indians and every
white person in the country who has
mind to haul the melons away with
as fine variety as can be raised any
place. ]. C. Miller says that some
people are lucky in raising melons,
while others have no luck at all, and
they have always been among the luck
lest There is little market for mel
ons at Bliss, and as the Millers sup
ply ali that are needed for home con-
sumption no one else plants them.
They pay much attention also to
their stock business, and have thou
sands of cattle in their pastures all the
time. They raise most of their own
cattle, and their profits from this
source are large. The handling of this
farm is reduced to an excellent sys-
tenn. One of the brothers looks after
the farm work, another has charge of
the cattle and stock, while the third
handles the books and attends to the
hiring of the help. Competent fore
men are employed in every depart
ment, aad the whole machine runs as
smoothly as well-regulated clock.
The farm, as stated, was started by
G. w. Miller, now dead, who came to
this country about twenty-five years
ago. He leased a small farm from the
Ponca Indians and kept branching out,
until he left his boys the biggest farm
in Oklahoma.
In the midst of this farm stands the
most modern ranch house in the United
States. 1t is complete in every partic-
ular, including hot and cold water,
steam heat billiard-room, library, con-
servatory, and in fact everything to be
desired. The Millers believe in being
comfortable.

When Chief Justice Chase, a man

country courts of Vermont, an appeal
case from a Justices court came up
before him so small and contemplate
in its origin that he ordered it stricken

a turkey had trespassed upon the gar
den of a neighbor and got shot for his
depredations. The owner brought suit
to recover damages, and failing before
the justice, had appealed the case.
Judge Chase was angry, and when he
ordered the case from the docket.
said:
