HISBAIL OF TWEN1 GHoUS-
AND DOLLARS.

Police Had Traced Him About the
COuntry-Once Located Him in Mexico
-FlOwer, Who is : Physician, was
Indicted ON Five Counts in March
19O3-FOrfeited His Bail.
New York, Jan. 4.-The district at

false pretenses.
The police, who had traced Flower
about the country, once locating him in
Mexico, claim to have found him last
fall in Jersey City. From there he

legged, he was known as Professor

trict attorney and DR.. Flower was ar
rested. The complaint was made by
Mrs. Gelebar Hagaman, and one of the
chief witnesses was Helen Gray Tay-
lor.

he was released in $4,000 bail, which
was furnished by a Mrs. Storrs. When

Just as I am writing these notes a
very interesting letter comes to hand
from Prof. H. e. Van Deman, the judge
of the fruit exhibits at the jamestown
exposition. The readers of The Ranch
will be glad to read some things from
this letter and I take the liberty to
make some extracts: "The exposition
is getting on very well, but the at
tendance is not as good as it should
be, because of the bad state of things
at the start and for some time after
ward. Now, there is little to criticise
and there is much. to commend. There
are no really bad features in the man
agement. There is one thing in which
this exposition is ahead of all that
have been held and that is the exclu-
sion of the scoundrels who sell specta-
cles and numerically cheat all who
patronize them. They offered big
fees to get chance to skin the pub
lie, but the officials fatty refused to
allow them on the grounds. I hope
the Seattle officials will do likewise.
The army and navy stationed here
make very novel and interesting
feature. There is large parade
ground on which there are drills and
various military events daily, that are
much enjoyed by the visitors. There
are infantry, cavalry and artillery here
and they perform both separately and
together in the field maneuvers. The
war fleet off the grounds is con-
slant attraction. There were sixteen
big battleships here at one time late
ly"
+
l do sincerely hope that Van Deman
may be secured as judge of the fruits
at the A-Y.-P. exposition. He judged
the fruits at Buffalo, Portland, and
now at jamestown. No other man in
the United States has such a record
as that. He says in this letter that
should the position be offered him he
may be able to accept, but may be too
busy, and then adds: However, the
summer is my season of leisure"

MATURE PICKS OUT THE
WORLDS GARDEN SPOTS
FOR SCENE OF DISASTERS

= y -.
Apparently every earthquake or vol
canic eruption represents grim joke
on the part of Mother Nature, for it is
usually those spots that have been ia
vored with a wealth of the most ex-
quisite scenery and delightful charac-
ter that suffer.
/ Pent forces of the inner earth do
not vent themselves on the rock bound
coasts of Greenland, on the arid
stretches of Western prairies, in the
deserts of Sahara, in the snowy wastes
of Canada. Instead they pick out the
very garden spots of the world, places
like Jamaica, California, the Bay Of
Naples, Martinique, ST. Thomas and
Valparaiso.
Where there is tropical luxllriance
that charms men away from the colder
and grayer North; where a sense of
peace and riot Of color and luxuriant
plant life, such as the Northerner new
er sees in his own region, hold out
their appeal; where the sheltering
palm sways, the sky and sea alike are
deepest blue, and the air never loses
its balm and sleepy restfulness, there
is the country of the earthquake and
of the volcano, and often of the hurri-
cane, too.
Jamaica devastated, Kingston slip
ping into the sea, San Francisco over
turned, Martinique blown to pieces by
the eruption Of Mt. Pelee, the idyllic
Italian country near the Bay of Ma

EXPERIMENTING IN DRY
FARMING ON THE PLAINS
Uncle Sam Conducting Experiments at Cheyenne,
Wyo., in Semi Arid Region.

While public attention has been di-
rected to the mammoth irrigation en-
terprlses being carried on by the Uni
TED states government in various parts
OF the West, little is known of expert
ments now being carried on in the
semi-arid region, which, if successful,
will go long way toward redeeming
vast empire which has hitherto been
looked upon as an unproductive des-
ert
The government has an experiment
station at Cheyenne, Wyo., where
work has been carried on for two
years with most encouraging results.
The station is admirably situated,
Cheyenne being in what is known as
the semi-arid region, extending sew
eral hundred miles eastward from the
base OF the Rocky mountains This
vast sweep of plain, which extends
from the gulf to the Canadian line,
has, until the last FIVE years, been
looked upon as desert waste, fit for
nothing but grazing.
ago were comparatively worthless,
have jumped anywhere from ten to
fifty fold in value in the last yew
years. The so-called Campbell pro-
cess of dry farming has done the most
to bring about this revolution in
prices. Ranch houses are dotting
the once barren landscape, and wheat
fields wave in the breeze where once
only the sage brush and dry buffalo
grass met the eye. Not alone is dry
farming being practiced successfully,
but it has been demonstrated that
windmill irrigation can be carried on,
as water has been struck with little
digging, and, in some localities, fine
artesion wells are flowing a
The experiment station was located
at Cheyenne, because here conditions
are typical of the average conditions
on the semi-arid plains The rainfall
is something over twelve inches, and
the snowfall is quite heavy. The win
ter climate is not severe, and the sum-
mers are characteristic of the plains
-fiercely hot in the daytime, but very
cool at night
When sod was broken on the virgin
prairie, there were many to prophesy
that no crops would be raised at the
experiment station. But several hun
dred acres were planted in yariagated
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-03-02

crops. and the general results have
been surprising. Various kinds of
farming have been practiced, includ-
ing dry farming and windmill irriga-5
ton.
Dry farming proper is simply con-
servatiOn of the moisture in the soil.
1t is by no means new discovery,
though it is called the Campbell pro-
cess through few new features
which were added by H. W. Campbell,
whose practical work yielded the first
real results in the West. It is said
that ancient Egyptians practiced dry,
farming, having discovered the secret
that, if the earth is kept constantly
broken and pulverized there is little
chance for the moisture to escape. Ii
left to bake hard, the moisture of win
ate from the earth. but if the soil is
kept crumbled it will retain dampness
until far into the summer, without
need of irrigation. BY following this
simple rule the government has pro
duced great crops at the Cheyenne ex-
than the natural rainfall of the plains.
To the uninitiated dry farming looks
like hopeless task at the start. All
around is a barren, rolling prairie,
covered with sagebrush and cactus
and dry grass. These were the IA
vorite roaming grounds Of the buffa-
1oes in early days, but no man at that
time imagined that ranches would dot
the vast prairie sea. Nor was any
such thing imagined by the emigrants
who came later and left the bones of
their stock on the parched plains
nor by the first who travelled over the
stage routes to Denver.
But when the virgin prairie sod has,
been turned over by the great steam
pillow and the top sell has been pulver-
lied and the crop sown there is a DIFF
ierent story to tell. Soon the first
