BLIND sTAeeERs EPIDEMIC.

For some weeks there has been an
epidemic of blind staggers prevalent
in this county, notably in the Brazos

planters have lost many valuable
mules and hors y, and a serious fea-

still raging.
Mr.. Nose Lipscomb. manager of the
J. f. Astin farm at Stone City, re-

four of their fine mules and two good
horses. The last one 10 die was on
last Friday night, and Mr.. Lipscomb
did not know whether there were any
more on the farm affected or not.
Reports from further up the bot
tom in Robertson county, state that
the loss has been very heavy The
malady is also reported to be epidemic
around Calvert.

BIG SHOW AT FORT WORTH.
Geronimo and ouanah Parker to At
tend Feeders and Breeders Show.

Two Indians, each with history
closely identified with that of Texas,
will probably be the most observed Of
all the features at the coming National
Feeders and Breeders Show TO be held
in Fort Worth March 18th to goth.
Geronimo, at one time the most
dreaded and most hunted of his race
in the whole United States and still a
prisoner on parole, is one of these.
Quapah Parker, the son of Cynthia
Ann Parker. who was stolen from her
fathers ranch in 1886 and grew to
womanhood in the tribe by whom she
was captured, and of Peta Nocona, a
full-blooded war chief of the Co.
manches, is the other
Geronimo was hunted oyer all the
Southwest by Gen. Crook who
finally gave it up and sent in his res
ignation. Gen. Miles, afterward in
command of Federal troops, was then
sent in pursuit and after one of the
longest, most hazardous man-hunts in
the history of the country, finally cap
tured the famous chief. Geronimo
was held in various forts in Florida
and Kansas and finally sent to law
ton, Okla, where he now is.
Cynthia Ann Parker, a 9-year-old
child, was stolen from her fathers
ranch near the present site ataGroes-
beck, Texas, and carried away into
captivity. She grew TO womanhood in
the tribe and finally married Nocona.
OF this union there were two children.
The eldest died before reaching ma
turity, and the other is the same
Quanah Parker who will be present
Iat the show this year Nocona was
killed in a hand-to-hand fight in Kan
sas and his squaw was captured.
When taken into custody it was found
that she had blue eyes, and finally
her identity was learned She had
grown to be too much an Indian, how
ever, and never returned to the life of
the whites. Chief Quanah Parker
long ago returned to the white mode
of life and is a successful breeder of
cattle at his ranch in Oklahoma
These two chiefs will be seen lead
ing forty of their braves in daily
street parades during the show and
viii appear nightly in the arena of
the Coliseum. AS living links be-
tween the old border days of the past
and the agricultural progress of the
present, these two noted Indians viii
prove of more than ordinary interest

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Pock your apples honestly and put
your name and address on each barrel
or box.
When a dealer buys apples ne is
pretty likely to cut into both ends of
the barrel
The American varieties of the plum
are harder thai either the Japanese or
European kinds.
The young trees set out this spring
need care and water at this time.
Look to them.
When trees are affected with peach
yellow they should be exterminated,
root and branch.
A fortune is waiting the propagation
of hardy red raspberry. But quality
must not be sacrificed for hardness.
No fruit should be allowed to go to
waste as long as there is a possibility
of making cider, vinegar and infer
mented grape juice.
Very few pears are at their best If
allowed to ripen on the tree. A good
rule is to pick when the seeds have
turned brown.
Our orchards are largely what we
make them. Good cultivation, tender
care and knowledge of conditions
make for success in fruit growing.
Wood ashes are of use for fertilizer
in the orchard. A combination of
wood ashes and manure in the orchard
is considered an excellent fertilizer
for apple trees.
Apples keep best when allowed to
hang on the trees until they reach
maturity, but that does not mean soft
and ripe. 1t is a common fallacy that
green, immature fruit will keep the
best.
One packer is authority for the
statement that the cost of picking
apples varies from seven cents per
barrel where the trees are low, to 20
cents per barrel where the trees are
large and limbs high.

THANKSGIVING DAY
canada's Day of Thanks Month Ear
Iier Than in the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving month or more earlier
than we do. 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note of warning, or it may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
clared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
SO fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They
have had reasons, and good ones, too,
for giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, it Is
not uninteresting to the friends of
the millions of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting OF the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others in
SO far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous The weather condi-
t1Ons were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now it
was well it was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering of
the grain has been successfully accom-
piished. There have been low gen.
eral averages, but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what good soil would do. There
W III UC III low averages
for this year has shown what good
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
duce 1870 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and it will pro-
duce a splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from SO to 100 bushels per
acre. This On land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-The whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful a land The misfortunes
Of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present. Thanksgiving
should be season of unusual en-
thusiasm."

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tally.
Because of this fact there is con-
slant increase IN the consumption of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it.,
and it is SO carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always healthy family. IL
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con-
venient for those not near the store.
