FEEDING FOR PRIZE INNERS.
R. {. Gatewood Promises to Repeat His
Performance Of 1903.

r. E. Gatewood, the well-known
johnson county cattle feeder,
who took the highest honors of
the 1908 fat stock show with his
car load of fat beeves, was at the
yards on Wednesday, looking
after the sale of two loads of
meal-fed steers of his feeding
that average LOOP pounds and
sold at S4.95. Mr.. GatewOod is
in good spirits over the showing
now being made by the several
car loads of cattle and calves he
is feeding for the coming eXhi-
bition. All are rapidly rounding
into prize winning form, and if
all goes well during the next few
weeks intervening between this
date and the show, Mr.. Gate
woods friends promises that his
entries this year will cause even
a greater sensation than his
champions of the 1908 event
While at the yards Wednesday
Mr.. Gatewood told a reporter
that he had recently bought a
car load Of Kaf1ir corn, ground
in the head, at SO a ton, loaded
loose on the car at Canyon City.
This he is now using in connec-
ton with shelIed corn, blackstrap
molasses, alfalfa hay and cotton
seed meal to help balance the
ration he is feeding his calves for
the March show. The Katfir corn
was added rather as an expert
ment, as it is the first Mr.. Gate
wood has ever used as a cattle
feed, and it is proving its worth
as a part of the ration, The
Kattir corn is valuable for the
amount of starch it contains,

Panhandle Wheat Crop.

Wheat looks well in this part
of the Panhandle" declared w. S.
Roberts, a well-known real estate
man of Amarillo, who has just
ended a trip covering a consider
able portion of the country. 1T
seems astonishing to those who
are not versed with the peculi-
arities of this country to see
wheat thriving even under pas
turage, following such an ex-
tended dry spell. All wheat put
in under favorable conditions is
showing growth which prom
ises yield thoroughly worthy of
the grower. Grain sown in the
early portion of the season and on
ground that had been well pre-
pared is astonishingly good.
That planted under'less favorable
conditions, that is upon grounds
not well prepared, is not so good,
but even that is far from a fail
ure.
Lands that have heretofore
been farmed, are being plowed
perfectly. Some ground not
heretofore farmed is a little stiff
from lack of moisture, but few
farmers are hindered by reason
of this condition that seems dry
to the newcomer. Farming is
going on, and the outlook for the
breaking of many crop records
seems fine for the incoming sea
son. Small grain is more gener-
ally sown this season than ever
before, and in addition to this
there will be much of other crops
adapted to this land and climatic
conditions.
The weather has been so mild
over the Panhandle for the past
few weeks that the fruit crop is
in danger of being cut short un-
less the weather turns a little
colder to keep the trees from
budding too soon. Herald.

and seemed to look upon the big
autos as some sort of herald of
coming railroads.
No man who will take such a
trip can doubt that Texas imper-
atively needs more railroad build
ing. 1t is not a fancy or more
boom talk; it is plain, cold
business proposition. That part
of the state is developing ahead
of the railroads, and when they
do come they will find the pas
sengers and tonnage ready for
them.
Politicians who provoke and
nurse hostility between the rail
roads and the people and thereby
retard the extension of these
necessary concomitantS of civil
cation are doing an amount of
mischief that can only be fully
realized when one visits the re-
giOns in Texas which clamOr for
railroads, but can not get them.

close business methods to the
business of cattle raising.
During these years of changes
on the plains the tide of immi-
grafton had been creeping stead
lily westward. Railroads had
brought remote sections close to
centers of population. Long
trains of cattle went to market
by rail and the trail was aban-
doned. The tourist saw the
country from the windows of
palace cars. Not for a moment,
not for a day has the steady tide
of immigration ceased its pres
sure from the eastward. Unfa
vorable seasons have checked the
advance at times, but only check
ed it. 1t has swept irresistibly
westward. The primitive in
stinct of man to have an abiding
place he can call his own is ever
at work among those of the
younger generation and he re
sponded to the call of the oppor-
tuniteS in the west.
The last great change in Vast
ern Texas is now in progress.
Its development is no less rapid
than those changes of the past.
The man whose mission it is to
make the land come up to its full
productivity is taking posses
sion. The farmer is putting his
cottage, his barns, his plowed
fields in the old haunts of the
Comanche and the Kiowa and
recently state officials interested
in the agricultural development
of the state visited him in fifty
horsepower touring cars.
They want to learn his needs
and to offer what assistance they
could, and also with an unvoiced
resolution to find out if the coun-
try was developing as rapidly as
the news from that section indi-
Gated. They found the develop
ment had not been exaggerated.

CENTRAL WEST TEXAS DEVELOPMENT.
Hstoy's Rapidly Shifting Scenes Shows
March Of Progress.

Riding across the lower plains
in a high-power automobile has
vhe charm of novelty as well as a
tinge of romance. Little more
than fifty years ago this country
was the habitat of the.Comanche
and the Kiowa. Many men are
now living who engaged in san
culinary combatS with these Indi-
ans in Western Texas. The
plains were at a day which may
properly be called recent, cover
ed with immense herds of buffa-
loeS. Herds of such great num-
berS that it was considered fool
iSh to take measures to protect
them by law. In less than a
decade the Comanches were
swept into small reservation in
the Indian Territory and the
buffaloes were wiped out by hide
hunters, and the white man was
unmolested in his possession.
With equal rapidity came an
other change. The country was
open and free. Immense herds
of cattle replaced the buffalo and
the early ranchman with his
cowboy retainers dominated the
plains. The railroads had not
yet pierced the country with
their bands of steel, and cattle
were moved northward to mar
ket over the trail This was
the wild and woody" period of
West Texas development and
was fated to pass as quickly, if
not as quietly as the buffalo.
The ranchmen found it neces-
sary, to insure grass for their
great herds, to lease and buy all
the land they could get. Follow
ing the invention of barbed wire
came the period of great inclosed
ranches and the application of

An acre of alfalfa will keep a
steer and two sheep and put all
of them in condition for rapid
fattening. Under the old meth
DDS ten acres of grass were not
too much for the steer. Alfalfa
will grow nearly anywhere in
Texas. The day is coming when
Texas will produce more cattle
than it ever did, even in the days
when there was not a strand of
barb wire west of Fort WORTH

Thoughts on Advertising.

Advertising is not an adjunct
to your business. 1t is a part
and a very important part of it.
1t has long since come to be
reckOned with as one of the most
potent factors in the commercial
world. 1t can be employed by
the largest and smallest corpo-
rationS alike. 1t is a business
builder and a business getter
and the man who uses advertis.
ing space judiciously, whether a
large or a small advertiser, will
make a success.
Advertising is practically the
only reliable source of informa-
ton the farmer has on house
hold articles, agricultural nipple
ments, etc, for all else is here
say. But when he reads an add
vertisement setting forth in an
attractive style the merits of this
or that implement over the name
of a well-known or a reliable
house; and appearing in a paper
in which he has confidence, he is
moved to buy if he has a need. -

Atchson Globe Reveals Secret,

A former chief Of police of
AtchisOn, the Globe says, had a
wide reputation because he was
not afraid of women. When a
mad woman called on him and
said, haughtily: 81 called to see
you about little Natter he
promptly replied; Il am glad
you did. There is a good deal of
complaint in your neighborhood
about your temper, and | want
to say that if | hear any more
about it | will put a stop to it in
a way you don't like that the
chief chewed the rag first, and
kept at it without giving the
woman a chance to say a word.
Men should remember this when
approached by mad woman, the
man should attack first, and keep
quarreling until the woman cries.

Bank Progressing Rapidly.

The Baraga County National Bank,
of L'Anse, is now coming up with a
rush. The brick layers, under the fore
manship of Jack Cleary, of Marquette,
arrived last week and have about one
story of the brick work done.
The building will be two-story

at first. 1t was the intention of the
men in charge to have one story built
Immediately, leaving the building so
that it could be built up when needed,
but those in charge have reconsidered
and will have the two stores built at
once, using the top floor for those want
ing Office rooms.
The bank building is located fine and
will be an addition to Main street.
A bank in community spells prosperity
and rosy future is predicted for the
village of L'Anse.

Best Game
Of the Season
Was Piayed on Barasa Diamond
Labor Day.

WAS it a good gamer" Well, we
should say it was. In fact, lit was the
prettiest game of baseball that has
taken place in the county for long,
long time.
The L,Anse and Baraga baseball
teams crossed bats at Baraga Monday
afternoon, and after hard fought bat
tie lasting for eleven innings, the Bar
aga boys became the victors by the score
of 8 to 8.
The exhibition was the most sensa-
tional and spectacular of any seen this
season. At times, when defeat seemed
almost certain, by some supperhuman
effort the game would be saved.
The lineup and result of the game was
as follows:-

has been ailing for the last six years.

he operated the French Bakery. From
thence he went to Escanaba. where he
