The Grownh of The Panhandle.
BY {. A. (Pat) Paffrath.

In 1878 the plains part of this Anna.
rillo country was covered by antelope
buffalo and fine mustang horses, the
broken part of the country was full
OF prairie chickens, deer and wild
| turkeys and quail. showing that il is
natural live stock country for do
nestle animals as we'll as wild ones
for poultry, horses. mules. cattle and
sheep, and as time has proven. there
is no better hog country in the world
than this.
Perhaps the first domestic stock
that was ever in this country was
sheep. Captain Charles Goodnight. of
Goodnight, Texas, and 7. 5. Bugbee.
OF Clarendon. Texas, will tell you that
when they came to this country there
were Mexican villages up and down
the Canadian river, which were sue
cessanlly engaged on large scale in
the Sheepp industry, and which were
driven out by the cattle people, who
either bought or leased the land in
this part of Texas.
The cattle bred in this country can
be developed into the best beef steers
Of any cattle bred in the United States
which is evidenced by the premiums
That the j. As, y. |. It's and l.. SIS
and III Mill Irons have taken in the
last ten years at the National Fat
Stock Show at Chicago, ILL.,, the Royal
Fat Stock Show of Kansas City, Mo.
and at the Worlds Fair at ST. Louis
aud also the premiums that Mr.. John
Hutson, of Canyon, Texas, took on
his fine Hereford bulls, at the Fat
Stock Show at Denver, Colo, in 1905.
These premiums were obtained, not
because the judges felt partial to-
ward this section of the country, but
because the cattle so far eXcelled those
of other sections that the judges in
justice 10 themselves and 10 protect
their own regulations, were compelled
to award the premiums to this sec
ton.
All OF the aforesaid cattle were bred
here within a radius of one hundred
miles OF Amarillo and finished in the
central states by various feeders, ex-
cep; Mr.. Illusions cattle, which were
bred and developed here. II is we'll
known that cattle can be successfully
developed and finished here as has
been established by Colonel T. 5.
Bugbee, of Clarendon. Texas, and
Others
As it is we'll known, horses and
mules that are second to none can be
successfully bred and developed in
dis country. Mr.. Tregg. who lives
about eighteen miles east OF Amarll-
10, has been for number OF years
successfully engaged in buying young
mules in central Texas and bringing
them up here and developing them to
his profit and satisfaction.
This is also a natural fruit country.
Up and down the streams was orig
inaly full of wild grapes. wild plums,
some wild cherries and currants. Fine
apples and peaches have been grown
in the largest part of IN country.
equal to any grown in the United
States.

Profit in Forage Crops.
/ 1t IS well known that milo maize
/ kaffir corn and sorghum can be sue
/ cessfully grown every year in This
/ country in great abundance, with per-
/ haps a greater tonnage to the acre and
/ by one mans labor than elsewhere in
the United States. Alfalfa can be sue
cessfuly grown in this district Su-
/ gar bcets, pumpkins, cowpeas and goo
/ bers can also be successfully grown
/ aud are all excellent feeds And I
| believe that cotton can also be grown
| successfully. which would not only
give an additional money crop, but
| the seeds would be an additional feed
crop.
| The cotton stalks would be a fine
winter pasture and the growing Of
cotton would cause a cotton seed oil
mill to be established at Amarillo,
which would be great benefit to the
! packing industry, and would give the
! people home made cotton seed meal
cake and hulls, available for home
consumption at all times. No matter
! IL the railroads were or are not able
/ 70 bring in cotton meal and hulls
! from other parts, it would encourage
ronghing and full feeding cattle The
| fact that all Of these feedstutfs can
be successfully grown in greater
quantities per acre in this section on
cheap lands, and the further fact that
these various feedstuffs go together so
well, make it certainty that by pro-
per care and attention this would be
the most successful and profitable
stock farming country in the United
States.
There is no doubt that by proper
care people could get, perhaps, high
er per cent of calves than elsewhere
in the United States, and by taking
proper care of them, as they do else
where, they could develop a more de-
sirable and higher class steer at 2
eyars old. that would be worth a great
deal more money at years old than
the 4-year-old is today, that has
grown on the open ranch.

THE BELLE OF JAPAN.

Our theatregoers are to be congratu-
lated on the fact that at last they will
have an opportunity of witnessing a
performance that deals on a new
theme. This occasion will come to
them on Saturday, September II when
the magnificent production of William
Wamsher's latest comedy success,
"The Belle of Japan" will be present
ed at the Grand opera house. The
scenery was designed from authentic
plates under Mr.. Wamsher's personal
supervision. All the costumes used
in the play were made by the Japan
csc at Yokohoma, Japan, where they
were imported direct by Mr.. Wamsher
for this production. During the ac-
ton of the comedy many musical num-
bers will be introduced by Miss Mento
Everitt and other members of the
company. Several theatre parties are
organized to see The Belle of Japan
which promises to have a capacity
house when it comes to our city.
Tickets will be ON sale at the usual
place.

HINTS FOR THE HoUsEKEEPER

A pinch of salt in coffee helps to
give a delicate flavor.
Two parts of fresh Stacked lime,
mixed with one part of strong red
pepper and sprinkled freely in their
runways, will drive rats away.
Just now, when net yokes and
sleeves are so much worn, it is well
to know that they can be very sue
cessfully dry cleaned by rubbing them
gently in ~pulverized laundry starch.
Always keep a small slip of white
paper and a magnifying glass in the
sewing machine drawer. If the ma
chine is in shadow, slip the piece of
white paper behind the needle and
then hold the magnifying glass at a
right angle between the eyes and the
needle. The threading hole will come
out into perfect distinctness and the
needle can then be threaded with ease.

NoTARIES MUST ORGANIZE.

An Aberdeen dispatch says that F,
A. Brown, chairman of the committee
of the Aberdeen Commercial club,
having in charge the affairs in con-
nection with the coming registration
for the Cheyenne River and Standing
Rock reservations in this city, has re-
ceived a communication from James
w. Witten, the superintendent of the
registration and drawing, conveying a
copy Of the rules and regulations by
which notaries who officiate at the
registration will be governed.
Judge Witten requires all notaries
to form an organization, with duly
elected officers. All are required to
conduct their business in booths, in
the same building, the booths to be
SO arranged that the person register
ing may enter at M door and depart
at another, so the stream of appli-
cants will not be interrupted. No more
than twenty-five cents may be charged
for an affidavit, and the money re-
ceived must be paid to the treasurer
of the organization, and be divided
pro rata among all of the attorneys
belonging to the association, after the
registration is ended. The notaries
are required to work in three shifts
of eight hours each, shift No. l work
ing from midnight until 8 a. M, No.
2 from 8 a. m. to 4 p. M, and No.
3 from 4 p. m. until midnight The
booths are required to be kept open
the entire twenty-four hours of each
day during the registration.
Judge Witten informs Mr.. Brown
that he expects an unusually large
number of land seekers will register
for the big drawing, and urges that
the notaries make ample preparation
caring for the crowds expeditions

downward. The character of the soil
is noted and reports are made to Mr..
Coffey, who transfers the data to col
ored maps. This information is for
warded to Washington where enlarg-
ed maps are drawn on a scale of six
miles to the inch. Accompanying
them is a compiled report giving in
detail the quality of the soil and it's
adaptability to agriculture. The gov-
eminent prints a large number of
maps and reports and they are circu-
lated free of charge through congress
men and senators. The work now be-
ing done in western South Dakota
probably will be ready for distribution
in about one year.. In the reports the
different kinds of soils are explained
in detail, and their a~daptability to
crops and proper treatment to secure
the largest amount of yield are scien-
tifically demonstrated.
In speaking of the red valley, which
runs around the Black Hills, Mr.. Cot
fey says: This tract ought to be
adapted to fruit culture. 1t is a uni
versal rule that red soil is the best
for fruit. The best peaches which
come from the peach districts are

SOIL MAP OF STATE.

Prof. G. N. Coffey, of the soils blu.
reau of the Department of Agriculture
who spent a few days in B~rookings
last week, went from here to the Black
Hills, where together with Prof. Bopp,
assistant in agronomy at the college,
he is experimenting the work of max
ing a soil map of the state.
A Rapid City dispatch says that a
crew of sever men are working in
the field and another is expected next
week to complete the force, which
works in pairs. Surveying the soil is
a term used in a scientific sense. It
really amounts to taking an inventory
of the soil and establishing its rela-
tive agricultural value based on cli-
mate conditions and natural pheno-
mena.
The surveying is dope by town
ships, the surveyors riding across each
township on horseback and at inter-
walls taking observation of the soil by
boring down with an augur, which
has a capacity. of boring three feet

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
~rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result.is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
