Have Your Titles Examined.

Have Your Titles Examined.
When man buys a farm he
should not take any living mans
word as to the title. He should
have it examined by the best alb
stractor in the nearest county
seat. He should then take this
abstract 10 the mos careful and
critical attorney that he can find,
and have him pass upon it. If
there should be any defects dis
covered he should not pay in full
until these have been corrected.
If he does otherwise, he is very
certain to buy hims self lawsuit,
or at any rate trouble. The time
to settle your titles is when you
buy Your land. File away this
abstract and attorneys opinion,
aud in case you want to sell
your land or mortgage it, all you
have to do is to have the alb
stract brought up to date, very
simple matter. You then know
that you really own what you
have paid for.
We do not charge our readers
anything for advice, although ii
has cost us considerable to learn
the lesson. The first farm we ever
owned we bought on an abstract
of title furnished by the seller
He was a man Of the highest
character and would not rob
anybody OF cent, and had
bought the land in similar way
on an abstract. Within a couple
of years we were surprised to
find that there was a widows
dover in it, and we were obliged
to buy her off at her own price.
Fortunately, we were able to do
so without much loss because
the various warrantors We're
mainly honorable men and had
the means to pay large part of
the loss.
In nearly all newly settled couu-
tries there are various clouds on
titles. For example, the origin 81
patent may not have been re-
corded. One of the former owners
may have been a single mau and
the fact that he was single moi
mentioned in the deed. 1t NAV
at some time have been sold for
taxes, aud the various steps lead
ing up to the tax sale may not
have been properly taken. Some
neighbor may have a right-of-
way through the land which
may not have been recorded.
These are but a few of the
many defects which may act as
a cloud Oh title. While not in
| terferinp with the faruar,s on
joyment of his property, it may
interfere with his drsposing of il
or mortgaging it. Tn way to
remedy any defect is to let the
other fellow do it before you pay
down your good money.-Wal-
lace's Farmer.

Horse Notes.
BY Shepherd.


horse does not always M an q
good or sound foot.
The time to treat a sick or
lame horse is the first time some.
thing wrong is discovered.
Keep up the supply of horses
on the farm by breeding two or
more good mares each year.
One of the best ways to in
crease the appetite of a horse, If
such thing is necessary, is to
change his diet frequently.
The nearer you get to pure
blood in breeding the more cer-
tain you are of good results.
In nearly all cases larger crops
and increased prosperity are the
result of the introduction of bet.
ter teams.
The difference in stamina and
durability of horses is often due
to the kind of food they were
raised upon.
Burning ruins the wall of the
foot, so that it will not retain the
shoe so long, besides rendering it
so brittle that a heavy strain up
on 1T causes it to break.
Load according to the strength
of the teams and use the whip as
little as possible. Nothing will
spoil a spirited horse quicker
than the whip and an ill-temper-
ed driver
A horse requires a change of
food as much as q human being,
but care should be exercised in
the changes from time to time in
stituted.
Whenever man imagines
that he knows all about horses
and has no more to learn, it is
about time for him to get out of
the business.
Where sound, flinty bone can
be grown, good feet as a rule fol-
low. lf too fine bone is produced,
the quality of horn hoof is pro-
portlonately lessened.
The value of good seed is seen
only when the harvest is gather
ed and the advantage of breed
ing to pure-bred and good stall
ions is best realized until the
colts are ready for market.
A good strong mare can raise a
colt each year and still do about
as much work on the farm as O
geldlng. 1t pays to farm with
good breeding mares, if they are
properly handled and bred to
good horses.
The horse that can walk fast,
whether he be saddler, driver
or draft horse, always commands s
better prlce than the one
equally as good in other respects,
but slow walker.
The fast walker need not neces
sarily be long legged animal. 1t
is the sprlghtly step, the lively
action and the powers of endur-
ance that make up the walking
horse.
The value of a stallion lies in
his individual and inherited pos
session of that prepotent trans
miting quality, which enables
him with certainty to impress
upon his progeny.those charactis-
tics desired in the animal pro.
duced.-Live Stock journal.

food Roads in the South.
They Would Save Three
Hundred and Forty Thous-
and Dollars a Year on the
Cotton Crop Alone.
{ From the New York SUM-


In an address by John Craft, of
Mobile, it was stated that the
cost to the farmers of the South
is so cents per bale of cotton for
an average haul of eight miles.
If there were good roads the
cost would be reduced to 16 cents
bale. Estimating a crop at a
million bales this would mean q
saving Of $4,000 annually.
1t cost under present road
conditions 25 cents to haul ton
of fertilizer a mile. With good
roads the cost would be 8 cents a
ton.

the problem of working convicts
on our public roads," said Mr..
Graft, "and they have proved to
be the most economical road
builders to be had. The convict

Judge Fave, of Georgia, who

"Mecklenburg County, North

labor when it is managed on bus
iness principles.

TheO Brackenberry OF Almo
Frozen to Death in the
Mountains.

Theo Brackenberry son Oh Dep- |
utv Sheriff E. d. Brackenberry OF
Almo, a young man about TWEEN
ty-four years of age was frozen
to death between Oakley and
Alno. He was in Oakley at 4
O'Clock at which time be started
for home explaining to his com
panions that he would get home
in time to have at least one or
two dances in his home town
that night. On Saturday morn
ing telephone communication
revealed the fact that the young
man had not reacned home and
dreaded fears filled the hearts OF
his friends at both places.
Searching parties were sent out
FROM both towns, one OF which
consisting of Mr. Langlois or
Almo and three companions sue
ceeded in finding the unfortunate
Young man on the other side OF
the ridge about one and one-half
miles from Mr. Tracy's ranch. Sev
eraltheories as to the manner OF
his getting lost and his dearha
being given. The most plausI-
bic perhaps is this:
He reached Joseph McMurray's
cabin safely and went IN, built
fire and warmed, and then set
out again. The road being COM
pletely filled With snow he lost
his way and followed a wash tor
some distance and considering
the course Impracticable, retrac-
ed his steps and followed up
birch creek as far as Lyman's
cabin where he turned off up
Trail canyon. About 3 miles
from here he found it necessary
to abandon his horse and thot
to complete his journey on foot.
At sometime previous he had
discarded his boots aud wrapped
his feet in burlap. He made
about one and one-half miles this
way through snow from two and
half to three feet deep to the
point where he succumbed He
had literally frozen to death.
The burlap had worked off his
feet, so that they were only pro-
tected by socks. The evidence is
that he died without a struggle.
ASnumber Iof rumors have been
circulated to the effect that the
young man was drunk but the
rescuing aparty say that every
evidence shows that he was per
iectly rational and that every
step sindicates judgment anc
heroic effort to reach a place o
safety His wonderful strength
and vitality would have carried
him thru despite the depth o
the snow had he not been over

been drinking some at Oakle,
and that he carried fire wate
with him is true; He had a hal
gallon in sealed demiohns tiet
to his saddle, which were proba
bly, lost early in his course, anl
a half pint in his pocket, iron
which he had drunk some little
Liquor perhaps was the indirec
cause of his death. He had in
bibed just enough at Oakley t

gerous and perilous ride A rid

would shrink from taking at tina

counted on having a gloriou

secretary. That gentleman has filed
the position Of chief collaboration to
the governor during the period In
which the government of the zone
was under organization. He is thor
oughly conversant with the system and
with the duties attaching to the posi-
ton OF chief executive. At one time
during the absence of Governor Ma
COON. Mr.. Reed discharged the duties
of the post with success. Having
done this once he can do 1t again, es-
pecially as the government machine IL
now SO well organized that It's running
is attended with a minimum of frie-
ton In view of the fact it is supposed
that the Washington administration
proposes reducing the position of gov
ernor of the zone If this Is the case
certain considerations which might
stand in the way of Mr.. Reeds chances
would lose weight. 1t would be better
to entrust the position to a man OF
known capacity, and who is familiar
with affairs as they stand, even though
he is young, than to give 1t to another
who while not lacking ability, has yet
| to acquaint himself with local condis-
tions and to prove himself persona
grata to his colleagues. We have rea-
son to believe that Mr. Reed would be
acceptable to the Panama government
as Governor Magoon's successor and
hope to see his name in the list Of the
eligibles.
The position Of United States Minis
tire, which will fall vacant on Mr.. Ma
goon's retirement, also gives rise to
speculation, for on this point nothing
is as yet positively known. There is
belief that W. F. Sands, score
tary to the legation, stands a good
chance in the running and his appoint
ment to the position of minister would.
| we think, be both satisfactory and
Just. Mr.. Sands has been on the 18TH
mus for years and is therefore well
acquainted with the peculiar condi-
tons existing here. AS the immedi-
ate assistant Of the minister he has
had every opportunity for familiariz.
ing himself with the policy introduced
by Mr.. Magoon, and would, If appoint
ed, most likely follow on the same
lines which his predecessor had adop-
ted with such signal success. We fully
believe that Mr.. Sands, as United
States Minister to Panama, would be
persona grata to this government, and
this, together with his proven capac-
ity and good previous service, ought
to furnish arguments in favor of his
appointment.
The foregoing remarks do not re-
fleet any inspiration from influential
sources, nor are they offered as pre-
dictions of what will take place. AS
we said before, there is as yet no de-
finite information obtainable, and we
merely throw out these suggestions In
the conviction that if acted upon they
would afford qualification to many
here. We shall watch developments in
connection with the vacant offices with
interest.
