Mexico City, October 10.-During the last month there were 200 deaths from all diseases at Vera Cruz, and only four from yellow fever, a fact demonstrating the efficacy of the stringent sanitary precautions taken by the superior board of health. Last week only nine cases of yellow fever were reported to the board of health, and two deaths. The advent of cooler weather will stop what little fever there Is.

A Unique Plant,

G. A. Gosser has on exhibition
at his cigar store a Mexican Rat
Tail cactus plant. This plant is
placed in an ordinary pot with
frame supports to carry its prof c.
tons, which grow and wind around
the supports like long snake.
This plant after maturity bears
a most beautiful blossom which
makes its appearance in the spring,
sometimes blossoming again in the
fall. This Mexican variety is one
of the most unique and snowy of
the wild cactus family so common
in sections of the southwest and
Mexico.

Tulia rlan Gets Prize.

Richard Walsh. manager of the
J A ranch is back from Kansas
City where he attended the Amer.
cad Royal Fat Stock Show. Mr..
Walsh declares that the show was
an immense success in every way.
The J A ranch didn't have any
cattle on exhibition" said Mr..
Walsh, but the calves that won
tbs Hereford sweepstakes were
from J J COWS, which brand we
also own, and we're exhibited BY
Bob Bishop of Tulia. The short
horn sweepstakes carload year
lingS that won the first prize was
bred by Col. Hughes from J A
COWS, so that taken as a whole we
are perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits"
The Texas cattle showed up
we'll at this show; in fact Texas to-
day has as fine cattle as any part
of the country. Practically all the
good bulls that we're sold at the
show were purchased by Texans
and will be shipped to this state"
Mr.. Walsh says that up 10 this
time about 10000 acres Of land
has been sold off Of the J A ranch.
When asked when he would place
the entire ranch on the market he
replied: When the land will bring
SIS per acre.

PAN CATTLE BEST.
Cattle Take Premiums at the Big
Show at Kansas City,
rliSsouri.

F. L. Davidson returned yester-
day from Kansas City, where he
has been attending the American
Royal Stock Show. Mr.. Davidson
had an exhibit of a car load of
range heifer yearlings, which took
third premium. Wyoming took first
and Nebraska second, in this class.
This is a good showing, as it gives
Mr. Davidson's Potter county
yearlings precedent over all Tex
as, Oklahoma, Kansas and New
Mexico exhibits of which there
we're about thirty contestants.
Mr.. Davidson is very proud of
his splendid showing, as his ex-
hibt consisted of straight range
warnings, which were roughed
through the winter. They aver
aged $50 pounds and sold on the
Kansas City market for $40.
Bob Bishop of Tulia won first
prize and grand championship of the
world on car lot exhibit of Here
ford calves. The plains and Pan
handle did themselves proud, and
this splendid showing will certainly
awaken our friends in other states
to the wonderful possibilities and
great advantages west Texas offers
to the farmer and stock man with
small ranches and small herds.
Our stock men are to be highly
commended and every encourage
nent given them, in their endeav-
ors to breed better stock, and place
stock raising on higher level and
a profitable basis for the small
range, as west Texas is rapidly be-
coming the home of the one Sec
lion man.

Feed Stuff Advancing

Feed stuff at present is in good
demand in the city and is bring.
ing satisfactory prices. Dealers re.
port the best early fall trade for
past few seasons and assert that
prices were never better,
1t is expected that slight advanc-
es on all feed stuffs will occur with
in the next thirty days, and all
dealers are making preparations to
care for the liberal trade anticipat-
ed during the winter months.
Corn is selling readily while oats,
bran, corn chops and other feed
stuff is bringing excellent prices.
Hay this year is of finer quality
than for several seasons past and is
moving freely to the consumer and
the jobber. Hay is going at 50 to
80, so per ton, alfalfa $I2 to $I2 so,
while oats are bringing 40 cents
per bushel.
Bran is moving off in good guam
titles at 81 a hundred and and corn
chops are in good demand at 81 30
per hundred pounds.
No scarcity of feed stuffs is
looked for this winter, as the farm
ers have an abundance on hand.

ORGANIZATION.
It is the Keynote to Successful Enrming as It is to Other
 Enterprises.

Organization consists in the proper formation, classification and assign ment of duties to the different mem- bers of body for the accomplishment of a specified end It is best illus trated i'll the performance of a we'll drilled military company, which car rie5 out it's maneuVerS in exact pre- cision, each member performing his office ia similar manner and simul taneous time with others l. is ab- sOlutely essential to the successful management of all enterprises 10 the accomplishment of any end We see the good of organization especially in factories. railroads and large cor porations where many hands are em- ployed. Each member has that work assigned him, to which he is best suited, the method of operation and time specified and the result is that the desired end is attained through the systematic efforts of each individ- ual. Equally as well on the farm should the landlord organize his forces for the accomplishment of all purposes. If Is often noticeable and as often said of this farmer or that one that he las good land, all the necessary labor, a sufficiency of stock. and that he him. self works hard enough. but he does not seem to get along very well. Ex- anime the case closely and you will find that he does not observe the nd- age "A place for everything and ev- erything in it's place" His employees do not know on one day the duties of the following day. Much time is lost in changing from one thing to another. Possibly his entire force is sent to distant field late in the day to begin 9 piece of work when they could fill out the day more proftably at home, ani assume the former work early on the following day.
 It is a well-knOwn fact that the ac- complishment of great ends is not ai- ways due to physical action. The se- we're defeat inflicted upon the Russians on the plains of Mukden is attributed by some to the bravery and endurance of the Japanese. I do not hesitate to affirm that the Japanese are rightly known for such qualities. but this alone is not accountable for their victory. for go with me to ths tent of the field marshal. How closely he scans the field of action; how intimate he is with the map of the country. Note with what precision he works out the plans of operation for the following day and observe the discipline of the soldiers who have received the best military instruction of modern warfare. Surely the result of this awful conflict was partially determined in the military academy of Japan and the teIts of Oyama on the battlefield long ere the boom of cannon, rattle of nusketry and the clash of arms in the fields of | Manchuria
 So would We do well as farmers to | plan one day the operations of the fol- | lowing day, knowing what to do, how | to do and when to do observing the
 merits of organization, practicing | punctuality and system that we may | obtain the best results in farm life R. R. C., Jr., iu Progressive Farmer
