Feeding Ewes at Lambino Time.

According to estimates made by the
Virginia experiment station, over 6
per cent. Of the lambs born in that
state last year died betause their
mothers did not have sufficient milk
to support them. Investigation shows
that the cause for this lack of milk
was due to unwise feeding before and
after lambing.
One sheep breeder lost 37h per
cent. of his lambs from this cause
Before lambing time he fed the ewes
corn fodder and timothy hay. After
Landing he fed bran and cut fodder
This shows that it is a great mistake
to feed sheep on timothy hay or corn
fodder either before or after lambing
Neither Of these feeds contains
enough protein or succulence to make
milk. This man says that If he had
had 500 bushels turnips he could have
saved all his lambs.

With a compromise effected on the

Formal notice from the largest pro-

materially bespeaks the difficulties be-

Is commissioner J. T. Robinson, Of
the general land office of Texas, ex-
ceeding his authority under the mining
laws of the state in rejecting the ap
plications of persons for oil and gas
claims in FL Paso and Reeves county?
This question is one OF vital import
ance to the people Of these counties, for
upon its settlement depends the future

paid by the applicant above the mini
mum as stated in the law
Upon these two questions depend the
outcome of the entire controversy. If
the commissioner has the right to reject
the applications because the land to be
filed upon has not been classified as
mineral land by the geological survey,
then the greater part of the land in
question can be rejected, as the CLASH
fication referred to has not been made
except in a few cases in the state.
As to Classification.
The best legal advice obtainable in
FL Paso holds that since these classi-
fications have not been made as pro-
vided for by the law, then the fact that
a person files an application for land
at higher price than would be neces-
sary for filing upon grazing land. is
proof enough that it is mineral in char
acter and the application should not be

THE STATE Has Nj RIGHT TQ
REFUSE ENTRY FOR oil LAND

: rejected. However, the same attorney
| holds that the commissioner has the
right to fix a higher price than the
minimum stated in the law. In support
OF this opinion the clause is cited which
refers to the proximity of land TO
railroad, which reads: THE purchaser
snail pay not less than SIS per acre
where the land shall be situated ten
miles or less of any railroad in opera
uon. and not less than $40 per acre
Where the land IS over ten miles from
such railroad" This, it is held, means
that since the minimum is clearly fixed.
the commissioner is clearly given the
right to fix the price for such land at
any sum he may see fit, providing f.
does not go below the minimum
Can Fix the Price
In other words, the commissioner has
the discretion to fix the price to be
paid for such land, and his reference to
the price to be paid for the land applied
for by J. Y. Canon, of this county, which
he fixed at $25 an acre, was wholly
within the meaning of the law. His
rejection of the applications of f. L.
DeShazo, ]. J. Russell and others,
of Ell Paso, for land in the so-caIled
"Toyah oil district" is not within the
scope of his duties, the attorney holds,
since the rejection was on the ground
that the lduO mas never Deen classified.
The attorney says the fact that they
have not been is not Indicative that the
land is or is not mineral and is not suf-
flc1ent reason why the applications
should have been refused.
The LAW.
The law providing for taking up min
era1 lands in Texas follows:
Section 10, chapter 1z7, of the general
laws of the state of Texas, passed in
1895, regarding the development of min
ing and entitled, ''An act to better and
more fully promote the development of

visions of this act" reads:

for the reason that the land has been

been filed upon by D. D. Dumont, Of
Carlsbad, on June 5, 1905, according to
the county surveyor. who says that Du-
mont occupied the land but did not buy
it. The surveyor also says that the
commissioner has no authority to with
draw the land in question from appli-
