HOMESTEAD RESIDENCE.

In its current number the Doug.as
Enterprise makes the following clear
statement of the requirements of the
homestead law as to residence:
"A strict observance of the homo.
stead laws is imperative if homestead
entrymen expect to acquire title to the
land. Occasional yisitations to the
homestead of once or twice in six
months does not constitute residence
and subjects the entry TO cancellation.
If reported upon by n special agent Of
the interior department. It has beal
repeatedly decided by the local lald
office, sustained by the general land
office and affirmed by the secretary of
the interior, that visits to the land once
in six months or ottencr cannot be
held as compliance in the matter of
residence. The home must be upon
the land TO the exclusion of a homo
elsewhere. There is no doubt that a
new era Of prosperity is in sight for
every resident Of this section and that
land heretofore regarded as Of little
value will be nor valuable and peg,
sons holding such land and not com,
plying with the homestead laws viii
be involved in much trouble. To such
persons we would say-if you have a
homestead and intend to make proof
upon it and thus acquire title to it from
the government, comply with the law.
Build a housc-a habiudble house-up,
on the land, not a shack unfit for a
goat to live in, but a house. Then see
that you live in it. BY doing otherwise
and attempting to make final proof you
subject yourself to danger of prosecu
ton for perjury. Don't DO it. If you
can't comply with the law do not jeo,
pardize Your personal liberty by per.
jurying yourself"

Makes FIeas, Flee.

When it comes to talking about fieas
the writer knows just where he is at
When he vas a boy the country swarm
ed with them, and perhaps one of ths
things he will remember longest will
be the sleepless nights and the tor
ments that the fieas gave him whel
sitting in Quaker meetings, where he
did not dare to scratch.
For many years the people seemed
to put up with them as an evil from
which there was no escape, yet there
was an efficient remedy growing on
every farm in the shape of a modest
little plant callel pennyroyal, which is
familiar to every co~untry-bred boy.
The odor of this plant seems very of

ALFALFA.

There Is no crop that a or will do
1t has brought the Poudre valley up to
what it Is and is the great hay crop Of
that section today. With plenty of a.
falfa there is no reason why the Lara
mic plains cannot become as great d
feeding ground us northern Colorado
There is no reason why our lambs
should be shipped down there before
being shipped to market. Wyoming
can get as good a rate on corn as Gel.
orado can and the freight on the .ambs
from here there could be saved. Aud
then field pease are a good crop here
and can be made to take the place Of
corn and fed with alfalfa or without,
as desired.
The Republican believes that our
farmers have not in the past given sui
fcient care to the preparation of tn cir
land for the raising of this most eS.
cellent forage crop. The ground should
be thoroughly Ilowed and narrowed
perhaps several tim IS before the seed
is sown. Too much time and money
can scarcely be expended in this work
of preparation, for it will return to the
farmer tenfold in the crops to come
Not only does alfalfa give an exceed
ingly good return in itself for the time
and money expended in raising it, but
it prepares the soil for rich crops of
grain and sugar beets.
Give alfalfa a fair chance n it viii

EAT WHAT YOU WANT
Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.

The first thing to do in the case of
indigestion or stomach weakness IA
to strengthen the muscular walls o.
the stomach n intestines, so thai
they will care for the food that Is
eaten. In no way can this be done as
well as by taking a Mona tablet be
fore each mea'. This restores strength
to the stomach muscles and stimulates
the pouring out Of gastric juices, so
that the food digests readily and its
nourishment is retained in the system
to build up energy and vitality.
Use Mi-o-na and you will have 40
more sick headache, heartburn, bad
taste in the mouth, coated tongue.
spots before the eyes, sleeplessness
and the many other symptoms that are
the direct result of indigestion.
The Eggleston Drug company gives
with every 5O-cent box of Mi-o-na a
guarantee to refund the money unless
the remedy cures.

Oil Wells In the Sea.

OF all the oil fields in the world
from the steppes of the Caucasus tc
the plains of Utah, where the latest
and most productive field is being
pl osIected, the most remarkable is
that at Summerland, California, where
nearly two hundred wells are being
pumped in the surf of the sea
Back of the little town on the beach
and on the mesa, there are other wells,
scores of them, but they are like the
other oil wells of California, gaunt,
skeleton derricks with pump arms ris-
ing and falling to the stroke of the
engines in the pump houses.
In 1896 the first oil well ever drilled
in the sea was sunk from a low wharf
over the Summerland surf. 1t struck
oil and was Immediately followed by
other wells as Don as companies and
individuals could get hold of frontag =
from which to extend their wharves
into the ocean. In June, 1900, the ban
ner year for this field, there were at
Summerland 305 producing wells, fifty
nine wells and fifteen wells
were in process of drilling.
These wells yielded from one to sixty
barrels of oil per day, the average
being about five barrels. The field has
never had a great gusner and has
never been a heavy producer in any
sense of the word. In 1889 and prac-
tically in 1890 oil was worth ninety
cents a barrel in Summerland. The
cost of production from the surf wells
is said to range from twenty-five TO
thirty-five cents pc" barrel.
Development continued up to 1902,
since which time development of tie
sea field has been practically at d
standstill, the wells in the territory
being pumped, but no news ones put
down. At the present time there are
about 100 wells producing from the
surf of the Ais which have been drilled
since the field was discovered. -Four
teen companies are operating in the
Summerfield district at this writing.
