The western land fever which some
years ago attacked Oklahoma and then
shifted to Canada, is now raging virulent-
~ in Texas. In the last two years prac-
tically all the big ranches in the Texas
Panhandle have been bought by land COM
panies. These have arranged with the
railroads to run excursion trains from as
far east as Indianapolis at half fare.
Their eastern agents gather up the farm
ers who will come, and these are all

lent food. Where ensilage is used, 1t
serves as green food, but on farms
where no silo is filled the food may be
varied by allowing sliced carrots or

secured by first cooking the turnips and
thickening the mess with bran. When
fed warm the COW will relish the mess
highly, and the change Of food will i'm

A woman Can Keep n secret.

Miss Mary S. Anthony, sister of the
noted Susan b. Anthony, says that 1t
is not true that women tell secrets; at
least, they only tell trivial things that
harm no one. They do not tell secrets
that would affect their husbands or
children-that is, very few women do
and when such thing does happen,
women are the first to condemn the
tattling woman. She related story
Of woman whose husband refused
to tell her about business transac-
tion, saying, sneerlngly. that no woman
could keep secret. John" said the
wife, did | ever tell the secret about

PROFIT in Small Fruit.

Ten acres Of small fruits will often
make a man more truly prosperous
than ten times as much land in wheat
or corn. He may not be worth as much
in actual capital invested, hut he will
be getting a larger net income, and
doing 1t with less severe toll. The
small farm we'll titled, whether 1t be
in fruits, dairy, vegetables, ETC., is al
most always the most satisfactory. The
principal capital needed to start such
farm is a level head and knowledge
of the business.

Glover is injured when cattle are
permitted on the field when the land
is very wet. There is temptation TO
allow cows to use the clover fields
some, but any gain by so doing is al
ways at the expense of loss In some
other manner. Cattle do much harm
by tramping; for which reason not
even the pasture should be used until
the grass has made considerable growth.
Close grazing should never be allowed.

FOUR CONVICTEDOF
VAST LAND FRAUDS
Four Hundred Thousand Acres In
volved in Spade Ranch-Conspiracy
to Defraud the Government.

Omaha, Neb., December 20.-The trial in
the federal district court of Bartlett Rich
ards, president; VIII G. Comstock, vice
president; c. c. jameson, secretary
treasurer and general manager of the
Nebraska Land and Feeding company,
controlling the 100000 acre Spade" ranch,
and Aquilla Triplet, their agent, ended
this evening in the conviction of four of
the defendants on thirty-six counts of an
indictment, which charged conspiracy to
defraud the government of public lands,
and subornation of perjury.
The defendants were charged with at
tempting to secure title to vast tracts
of land within the Spade ranch en-
closure in Cherry, Sheridan and Box
butte counties, Nebraska, by means of
fraudulent homestead entries, under the
kinkaid law, which permitted the home
steader to take up a section of land i'm
the semi-arid districts.
year ago Richards and Comstock, who
are counted in the millionaire class were
convicted in the federal court of Illegally
fencing government land and fined $500
each, and sentenced to six hours impris-
.onment each.
The latter part of the sentence was
served at the Omaha club, in the nominal
custody of their attorney, who had been
deputized for that duty by United States
Marshal T. l.. Matthews. AS a sequel
to this episode President Roosevelt re-
moved both the marshal and United
States District Attorney Irving l.. Bax-
ter,
