a Great Land Opening

number of exceptional oppOrtu-
mites will be offered this spring by
the government for enterprising and
intelligent farmers to secure choice
farms on a dozen or more large frri-
cation projects which are now near
ing completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of
the limits of the unOccupied public
domain, it is doubtful if these oppor-
tnnities will occur again. 1t is prob
able, therefore, that the west will see
one of the greatest intluXes of home
seekers in 1908 that has been Witness
ed in many years. The great fertili
ty and wonderful crop yields from
irrigated lands, and the favorable
terms the government offers settlers,
warrants the belief that before the
year closes not a single farm will be
without It's entryman. These farms
are located in North Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Nevada.

BAD WOLVES IN THE WEST.
Uncle Sam Is Busy Fighting for Their
determination.

Uncle Sam has been making study
of the wolves of this country, not, how
ever, because that particular animal
is worthy of preservation, but simply
with a view to determination.
The losses to stockmen and farmers
from the depredations of wolves is
very great, ranchmen frequently los
ing 10 per cent of their calves from
wolf attacks. Many protective meas
ures have been adopted, such as build
ing wolf-proof fences, granting boun'
ties for wolf pelts, direct destruction
by hunting, poisoning, trapping, etc.
1t appears that the bounty system
has not proved very satisfactory and
hunting is both expensive of time and
labor, SO that poisoning is, largely re.
sorted to.
The most successful method consists
in the use of strychnine, which is in
closed in a gelatine capsule such as is
usually employed by the druggist in
putting up sundry powdered medi-
cines. These capsules are concealed
in pieces of beef suet and are dis.
tributed at points likely to be tray.

HUMOROUS ENTRY Is FOUND.
Wanted Men Eighteen Feet Long to
Cross Fifteen-Foot Swamp.


The records in the war department
in Washington are, as a rule, very dry,
but occasionally an entry is found that
is humorous.
An officer of engineers in charge of
the construction of road that was to
be built through a swamp. being ener-
getic himself and used to surrounding
mere obstacles, was surprised when
one of his young lieutenants whom he
had ordered to take twenty men and
enter the swamp said that he could
not do 1.-THE mud was too Deep
The colonel ordered him to try He did
so, and returned with his men cover
ed with mud
Colonel. the mud is over by mems
heads. I can't do it."
The colonel insisted and told him to
make a requisition for anything that
was necessary for the safe passage
Tie lieutenant made his requisition in
writing and on the spot 1t was as
follows:
Il want twenty men eighteen feet
long to cross "a swamp fifteen feet
deep"

1t is doubtful whether half of the

The "blind pig" of modern times,
which is a product OF prohibition
states is lineal descendant OF the
"striped pig" introduced to the pub
lie in Massachusetts in the year 1888.
The legislature enacted a law for
bidding the retailing of liquor, ex-
cept in fifteen gallon lots, and this
only by apothecaries and physicians.
A cunning Yankee erected tent
where the militia met for training,
put in 1T a pig with stripes painted
around it, charged ten cents to see
the pig, and gave each visitor a
drink of Whiskey. This striped pig
was 80 interesting that when once
seen the beholder returned soon for
another sight.

LANDING IN ENGLAND.
Going Through the Custom House Is a
Simple Matter There.


Simple Matter There.
There is no country where the mat
ter of landing from American passen-
ger ships IS so easy and SO expeditions
~ done as England, says the Travel
Magazine. Of course, it is a free trade
country. the freest in the whole world.
There are duties levied on tobacco
and spirits, but travellers are allowed a
half-pOund of tobacco, in any shape,
and half-pint of spirits, which also
means the same as perfume. Sugar is
dutiable, whether in grain, sweets or
in jam, but small quantity is freely
passed.
In all cases, however, these goods
must be the actual property of the
passenger and be for his use and con-
trail. Cocoa, coffee and tea are also
dutiable, as are reprints of English
books. Outside of these things, as
named, passengers can bring in any
thing. motors. cycles, horses, but not
dogs, for which animal a not to exceed
six months quarantine awaits Keep
dogs on the American side
The customs officials are life ap
pointees-under civil service-and will
be found most obliging and helpful In
TACT. they are model to the customs
world. Tell the truth at all times to
these officials and you will be all right.
They are marvelously keen on spotting
the supposedly smart liar.
