Can't Fool Him on Turkey.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 2.-The Presi-
dent, Mrs. Roosevelt and Surgeon-Gen-
eral Rixey at Pine Knot, got up early
this morning and started on hunt
for wild turkeys. The President has
never potted a wild turkey and it is
his ambition to add one to his record.
Some of his neighbOrs undertook to
play a joke on him by turning f1ock
of domestic turkeys of the mammoth
bronze variety into the woods and
driving them so that they would fall
a prey to the Presidents gun, but
Mr. Roosevelt would have none of the

While the old-time ranch methods
are passing away, and should do so,
the Panhandle should ever remain

stock country because it is naturally

cause the dry, mild winters are favor

and because The feeding of the stock
will afford a home market for the

FOR the ultimate good of the land.
Furthermore, some of the crops that

cono1etelv upset Our ideas, based on
exnerience, of the disposition and ma
ture of orange trees, such as seeing
them growing and hourish1ng luxu-
riantly out of holes in solid rock pave
ments, with no apparent soil or other
nourishment for their support, and no
possible chance to cultivate or fertll1ze
them. We saw them trained against
houses and palaces, and shaped into
arbors like vines, and in Egypt we saw
several large enclosures fenced in with
hedges of orange trees, pruned and
trimmed into various. shapes, as the
owners fancy dictated.
In conclusion I may say that we
were in the Orient and around the
Mediterranean the months Of February,
March and April, and the most prom1-
nent feature of the trip was cold, al
ways and everywhere, and with the
exception of a few days in Cairo, and
one day clambering over lava and in
warm volcanic ashes on Mt Vesuvius,
the very day before the great and de-
structive eruption, we did not have
chance to get warm anywhere on the
whole trip.
In the lower end of the Jordan Val
ley, near the Dead Sea, around the
towns of Jericho and Gillgal, was the
only place where we did not see evil

tory are few oranges, lemons, guavas,
ETC., but the Turkish system Of tax
alton is so oppressive that little is
undertaken by the wretched inhabl-
tants in the way of fruit growing.
They told us that each and every fruit
tree was taxed the same, no matter
whether is was large or small, barren
or productive Many were cutting
down their trees and selling the wood
as the only way to escape this ridicu-
lous method of taxation. With irri-
cation and better laws, the Valley
of the Jordan, now bowling wilder
ness, in possession of wild animals
and fierce Bedouins, could be made
one of the most productive and de-
lightful places in the world.

apted to this locality are new to the
country, and have, as yet, no establish
ed place in the general markets.
To obtain some information as to the
value of these crops emilio maize and
kaffir CORN as the basis of rations for
fattening cattle, and also to test the
practicabi1ity of grain feeding steers
at this distance from a general mar
ket, an experiment was conducted at
the x. I. T. Ranch at Claiming, COM
mencing January 20, 1906.
Forty steers, coming two years old,
were divided into two lots. Lot was
fed a grain ration containing about
eight and a half per cent by weight
of cottonseed cake and the remainder
a mixture of ground milo maize and
kafir corn The roughage used was
sorghum hay, kafir corn and milo
maize fodder, and for a short time
some millet hay. The roughage was
not weighed, but kept in full racks
where all the steers could go to it
when they wanted to.
Lot was fed the same as Lot 1, ex-
cept that they got larger proportion
of cottonseed cake.
Kind of Cattle Used.-There were
ten high-grade Angus and ten high
grade Herefords in each lot. These
steers had eaten some grain feed in the
early months of 1905, but had never
been nightly fed, and from early sum-
mer until a few days before the ex-
pertinent started had been in The
regular steer pastures. The Herefords
averaged 626 pounds and were valued
at $3.50 per hundred, while the Angus
averaged 588.75 pounds and were con-
sidered worth $500 per hundred when
put into the lot Many disadvantages
were encountered during the course of
the experiment that affect the results
Owing to various delays in arranging
the quarters for the work, feeding was
not begun until January Goth instead
of November 1st, as had been planned.
By this time the steers had passed, on
the open range, one Of the worst
months of the winter and had taken
decided start on the down grade.
This late start threw considerable
part of the feeding period into the hot
test part Of the season when the quail
ty of the roughage is poor and the flies
are very great annoyance to cattle
With the steers at hand it was impos-
sible to get as much uniformity in
either quality or condition as is de-

many, as will be seen by the following
article from the California Fruit Grow
er:
Representative E. J. Hill, of Con-
necticut, who assisted the Commission
er of Internal Revenue to formulate
the rules under which the free-alcohol
law went into effect on October l,
spent most of the summer in Europe
with Commissioner Yerkes in invest:-
eating On this subject. Mr.. Hill states
that Germany was the country in which
the most progress was found to have
been made in the direction of applying
denatured alcohol for the development
Of industrial purposes. There are TO-
600 farm distilleries in Germany many
of them being very small, and Mr..
Hill was asked how the German gov
eminent could afford to furnish an in
spector to- each one of those distilleries.
He replied:
There is no difficulty in that re-
spect. The stills have to be made in
certain way, which includes tank that
can be locked with a government lock
and sealed with a government SEAL
The small farm distilleries do not OPP
crate all the year round. They oper-
ate in the winter when the farmer has
leisure to do something other than
straight farm work. The farmer has to
give the government thirty days. notice
as to the time he wants to begin to OPP
crate his still. Some time during the
thirty days an inspector comes along
and looks the still over to see that it
| is clean, etc., and then he locks and
seals the tank, after which the still is
ready for the farmer.
"He may go ahead and distill until
| the tank is full Then he informs The
person who is to buy the alcohol from
him, after which he notifies the govern
| ment and an Inspector comes and re-
| moves the seal, measures the contents
of the tank, and collects the revenue.
| II the farmer wants to denature the
alcohol on the spot he can do so in the
presence of an inspector, when the
amount of the tax will be returned to
him. But generally the farmers sell
through the great central selling agen-
cies, which denature at central point
and in large quantities, and collect the
rebate from the government in con-
siderable sums Thus the government
agents are not required to spend any
appreciate time at any one farm, and
one Inspector can cover a large terri
tory. Meanwhile the central selling
agency pays the farmer on the basis of
beverage alcohol and rebates for all
that is denatured. It is a good system
and is not very expensive to the gov
ernment"

Oranges are grown and cared for in
Egypt about the same way as in Al
giers, except they depend on lrriga-
ton entirely. Guava trees are not
small, bushy things as with us, but
quite as large as orange trees, and
are kept pruned up.
From Egypt We went to Italy and
Southern France, where, from Naples
to Nice, along the shore of the Med
iterranean, the orange hourshes in a
more or less precarious way, being
often found growing on narrow ter
races Of a mountain side, with SNOW
capped peaks in plain view. In TACT,
it appears to me that the Medlter-
ranean varieties of citrus fruits can,
and do, stand much more cold than
they do with us in Florida. Even in
Egypt there had been, shortly before
Our visit, enough cold to cut down
bananas and knock the leaves off the
guava and other tender trees While
the cold is always felt, it is seldom
extreme enough to freeze the fruit,
and at Nice, in Southern France,
where they had recently experienced a
real freeze, we were told that all
fruit that did not drop off the trees
within a couple of weeks was con-
sidered as good and marketable as if
there had been no freezing Bloom
ing seems later than with us, and it
was after the LIST of April before we
saw any trees in full bloom.
None of these countries produce or

have much apparent effect on our

Of oranges, as sold, wholesale and re-
