the slaughter test at the Ft. Worth
show you will see that my steers
would not stand anywhere but near the
head of the class, though not fitted
with view of making show animals.
They were on feed in the lot 122 days
and made an average gain of 341
pounds per head. They netted us here
at the farm $92 per head all round, or
gain for the feeding of $44 per head.
We made market for a quantity of
corn that was not merchanTable, win
tered 81 growing pigs on the waste, and
have besides the fertilizer left on the
farm taken altogether a fair profit for
our winters feeding.

that any Texas farmer who will feed
and feed right can do better thansthis.
Good beef breeds of cattle can be

Texas winter weather. When, in the

it 20 degrees below zero, thought,
"here goes several bushels of corn that

were being fed in Texas" Some day,
when the Texas farmer wakes up to
his opportunities, he will make the
beef and the pork al profit, when
sold at price on which the northern
farmer would starve.

DELLS AND DEVILS LAKE.
Beauty Regions Should Be Preserved
According to Mrs Upham.

1t is safe to say that not one of those
who heard Mrs. H. A. j. Upham talk
on "The Dalles of the Wisconsin and
Devils Lake, ''before the WisconsinNa;
turalHistory society Thursday evening
in the public library building, Milwau-
kee, remained unconvinced of the i'm
portance of the preservation of these
wonderful regions from desecration by
man.
In telling the story of the formation
of the continent as a part of it is writ
ten in the picturesque glens and ragged
rocks of this part of Wisconsin, Mrs.
Upham draped clock of mystery and
romantic witchery over the magnificent
beauty of the scene she described that
made every hearer long to protect the
district from destruction.
Mrs. Upham gave comprehensive
explanation of the formation of the
country and incidentally told the stor-
les of glaciers and moraines which are
largely proven by geological investi-
CATION carried on in the district of
which she talked. She closed the talk
with:
"Does it not seem strange that the
people of Wisconsin, even though they
do not awaken to the beauty of this
section of our state, cannot be aroused
to it's scientific value? 1t is unique
part of our continent.
We decry the equarrying ofthe pyra-
midD of Egypt or the respoiling of Mag
ara, but we calmly see the stone crush
er despoil these rocks; we see the seek
er of water power for rnnning our elec-
trio railways build huge dams that in
year will obliterate the strange and
beautiful caves, glens and canOns that
have taken hundreds of centuries to
form and we neither raise hand nor
voice in opposition.
"The beer garden, the electric rail
way and the macadmized street call
more loudly to us than the voice of
nature down through aeons of time.To
our lasting disgrace be it acclaimed
that we, the people of Wisconsin, ARE SO
lost to the scientific value and to the
natural beauty of our state that we
have allowed the last legislature to re-
fuse to make state park of the region
bordering on DEVILS lake and the Dali
es of the Wisconsin,"

this afternoon from mWilliamsport,I Ind.
where he has been acting for the plain.
tiff in the case of Henry w. Link OF
Hastings, Mich, VS.. the Big -Four
railroad, for damages sustained in 8
wreck many months ago. Just before
trial a settlement was reached and
judgment entered by the court against
the defendant in the amount of $4,000
and costs.
The case is important because of the
horrible wreck from which it arose
and the number of lives lost. This
and the Cooper case, in which the
plaintiff won for $4,000, are the only
cases which have reached trial. The
company will appeal the Cooper case
on the grounds that the damages al
lowed are excessive.
Both cases involved the examination
of many witnesses IN different states
and the successful termination of Link
case, the second from the same wreck,
evidences careful and judicious prepar-
alton and prosecution on the part of
Attorneys Bentley & Kelley for the
plaintiff.
