FARM AS BIG AS A KINGDOM
The Farmhouse Cost $1,000 900
and Accommodate 500 Guests.

THE announcement that Mex.
leo is about to make some eff
fort to curb the princely aspira.
tons of Don Luis TerrazaS of the
State of Chihuahua promises,
says the Bookkeeper, Ito bring
into the public eye one of the
most remarkable and at the same
time one Of the least known of tn,
worlds unusual men.
-Four years ago a German
prince travelled 5000 miles to visir
a farmer This farmer was Dor
Luis, whose farm 'Mexieans are
beginning to believe is getting toe
large for the public health.
I'm short, it is the biggest farm
in the world. In area it ranks
with the largest of European king
doms and empires and would max
one of the big States Of the Union
1t measures $50 miles from north
to south and 200 miles from east
to west, or 100000 acres in all.
1T embraces whole ranges OF
mountains, entire water systems.
Volcanoes, mineral. lands and thou
sands of lakes. Over it roam l,
100000 head of cattle, 100000
sheep and 100000 horses. The
farmhouse is the most mag
nificent in the world-a palace
costing 81, 100000 in gold,
%superbly furnished and with
rooms to accommodate 500 guests.
Scattered over this vast ranch
are 100 outlying stations, each
of which has charge of a certain
portion of the estate. The cow
herds and hunters numbered 5000
mounted men last year, and the
total number of employees exceed
10000.
1.-The Terrazas ranch is the only
one in the world which maintains
its own slaughtering and packing
plant. Last year 100000 head of
cattle and 10000 head of sheep
were dressed and packed, 100000
head Of horses were sold, 100000
tons Of hay cut and stacked for
use in the rainless season and 200,
900 bushels of various grains har-
vested.
"The running of this colossal
farm and ranch is not only inter
esting BECAUSE of the magnitude
of the operation, but it furnishes
as well a valuable object lesson
in the management of a people.
The total population supported is
about $4,000, and there are no
happier people in Mexico than
those who owe allegiance to Don
Luis.
"Not long ago it was claimed
by a member of the Mexican Gov
eminent that if he so willed Don
Luis Terrazas could raise an ar
my of 10000 men, and that every
one of them would fight for him
and especially for his beautiful
wife and twelve children. The
Don's wife is considered by many
the LOWEST woman in Mexico to-
day, and her five daughters are
also beautiful.
while the Terrazas family en-
tertains hundreds of guests every
year and spends thousands of dol
lars annually in philanthropic
work every effort is made to keep
out of the public eye, is especial
ly to keep out Of the papers. 1t
is always impressed upon their
guests that to guard this privacy
is the only way to retain the
Terrazas friendship.
1T is said hat no paper in
Mexico city has ever published a
picture of a member Of the family

WORKING TO SAVE MOISTURE
Level Cultivation Will Conserve Wa.
ter in SoiI-No Channel to
Run OF.

(By ". c. PALMER. North Dakota Ag.
ricultural College,
Level cultivation saves moisture
When the land is ridged it is put in q
condition for getting rid of moisture
as there Is more surface exposed and
he burrows make a splendid place for
the rain to run off. Where there is
Too much moisture 1t is an advantage
to throw the soil up around the
plant and to leave the burrows for
the surplus rain to run off.
In the northwestern states we need
to put forth every effort to save the
moisture and the more level we can
leave the surface the less there will
be of 1t exposed to the air, wind and
sunshine, and then when it does rain
It will have to soak In, as there will
be no channel for 1t to run off In.
Then again the ridges and burrows
are bad in that the soil in the ridge
dries out so that the plant roots do not
have as much surface soil to grow in
as under level cultivation, and 1t is
of the surface soil that the plant gets
nearly all Of its food. Deep plow-
ing and level cultivation IS the best
way to ave moisture, to give the
plant roots feeding surface. and to
keep the soil in fine tilth. This ap-
plies equally well to corn, potatoes,
vegetables or trees.

PROFITABLE DRY FARM CROPS

Good Paying Crop.

Many farmers waste their labo,
raising slim crops Of spring wheat fol
market, when the same labor u into
winter wheat would double their in
come.
The difference In yield between
spring and winter wheat, taking 9
general average. is represented by the
d1nerence between IS and 100.
Winter wheat ID the best pavine
small grain crop We have, and fall rye
Is a close second and some years Is
Just as good. Oats and barley are pay
able crops as a rule. only in extrs
good years.
cows, corn and zane are a payable
combination. and If we add every year
a rev acres Of alfalfa. which will grow
anywhere in good deep soil, we have
a good foundation for a large stock
farm. The best paying crop in the
line of fruit is pie cherries. and the
easiest varieties to raise are the
Montmorency and the Morello.
broom corn Is raised in Kansas and
Nebraska and on the plains of east
ern Colorado it is a good crop and car
often be contracted for before plant
ing. Flax is found to be very profit.
able In some of the dry states Of the
northwest; it grows wild In Colorado,
the seed is used for the making OF
linseed meal and oil.
Alfalfa Is a very profitable crop, Tor
on the dry ranch all we have to do is
to cut it. 1t costs one, for labor, not
over one dollar a ton in the stack,
When we need more of it all we have
to do is to pillow a few more acres on
home hillside or anywhere else and
plant 1t. There is no limit to the
amount of alfalfa a mar can raise;
If anyone wants to pay for my time
will put the whole state into alfalfa
from Denver to Kansas City.
The only obstacle to planting alfalfa
whenever you want 1t to grow, is in
your mind. There is no natural OBJ

1t or not.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair. the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. l was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain vas SO great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
q short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A %neighbor said 1t must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
l used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated. but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn Of the scalp humor. l COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, SO had very little trouble. On
my scalp l used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then l have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
m to my knees and had it not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This is a voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timonial and l take pleasure in writing
1t, hoping my experience may help
else. Miss Lillian Brown,

Cure for a Cow.

Any COW hat chews her cud must
swallow it unless there is some me-

his case the trouble, no doubt. is that
the animal is in such poor condition
that she does not feel like chewing
her cud. When a COW is Ill she will
not ruminate at all, rs a rule. When
the animal is feeling normal she will
no doubt chew her cud normally. Her
