GREAT CAT Tie KING
Owns Millions of Acres Of Land
in Three States.
Ranches Of Henry Miller Are Verita-
bic Paradises for Tramps-Once
Bought All the sheep in
Nevada.

San Francisco, Cal.-The cattle
king of the country is Henry Miller,
who owns millions of acres in Cali
fornia, Nevada and Oregon. Most of
this land is used for cattle and sheep
ranges but about 80 per cent, IS cult
waited, the crops being used to fatten
live stock. Cattle raising is his busi-
ness and he has made a tremendous
success of it, and is worth $20,000,00O.
He buys cattle and sheep and hogs,
lean or fat, runs them on his own
ranches, shipping them from ranch
to ranch to utilize all the grass and
stubble, puts his own grain into them,
and when they go to market they al
ways make profit. He buys In tre-
mendous quantities. He once ordered
his head sheep foreman to buy all the
sheep for sale in Nevada at any rea-
sonable price. The foreman bought
all but $4,000 head, which were held
at five dollars apiece. which he
thought was too high. He reported
to Mr.. Miller in southern California
Without pause Mr.. Miller said
Take the next train to Nevada and
buy them"
His ranches are models of neatness
and order and thrifty management.
Every one of them Is under Mr.. Mill
er's direct, personal supervision and
for forty years he has been travelling
from ranch to ranch, inspecting his
property, directing the planting of
crops and the movement of his herds,
buying and selling. Each ranch Is
managed by foreman who has SUBJ
foremen for the farming and for the
care of the cattle and the sheep.
Over several ranches constituting a
group is a superintendent. But every
ranch is under the constant personal
supervision of Miller himself. He
visits them at unexpected times and
closely examines everything. He re-

Northwest During Decade-Monu-
nnent to Typify Westward and

Bloomington, Ind.-The center OF
population of the United States as
figured out by the bureau of census at
Washington, is one of the widest
spots in Indiana. The center is about
four and one-half miles south of Un-
ionville and seven miles east OF
Bloomington
According to the census of 1900 the
center was six miles southeast of Co.
lumbus, Ind, and thus, during the last
10 years it has moved seven-tenths
OF a mile north and approximately
81 miles westward, more than twice
the distance westward over the move
ment Of the preceding decade.
The westward movement of our
population center during the past 12O
years is shown as follows:

The accelleration of the western

Strange as it may seem. the center

states widest and most backward in

foreman is to retain his Job. The
foreman's wife is held responsible for
the housekeeping and cooking for the
men.
Despite his habit of close superyi-
sion, he allows great freedom Of &C.
ton to his most trusted higher en-
ployes. He is often generous to peo-
pie who have no claims upon him.
The cook at every ranch has orders
to feed every person who stops there
hungry-and to ask no questions.
Anybody who reaches one of his
ranches at night may stable and feed
his horses, lodge in the ranch house,
and eat with the employees, without
charge and without question. A man
who needs meat may kill sheep or
calf from Mr.. Miller's herds, provided
he uses the meat himself and does
not sell It, OF course, these things
are more than generosity; they are
protection against the spite of
tramps and the depredations of
thieves; but they indicate a pretty
broad-minded man, too
He has to make concessions to ne
cessity In other ways; he is known by
everybody and he has to travel thou
sands of miles alone through wild
country. He is frequently held up
and robbed in consequences; but he
never attempts resistance nor reports
such incidents to the officers of the
law. If he did, the next man who
robbed him would probably kill him,
so he usually carries only little
money, and charges the 4obberies to
profit and loss.
Once he was robbed in Pacheco
pass by a Mexican, who took 5000
from him. Mr.. Miller knew the man,
and reminded him that he was long
way from home and asked the high.
wayman to lend him enough for ex.

$40 gold piece and disappeared. Sew

on the street in Hanford and offered

Mexican.

ter" is in a deep ravine, the banks
of which are difficult to climb.
AS soon as the announcement was
made at Washington, Prot. William
A. Cogshall, professor of astronomy
in Indiana university, located in this
city, began the work of establishing
the center according to the figures
given, In order that monument may
mark the spot, as has heretofore been
done in Indiana, which state has been
honored with the distinction of hay
ing the center of population within
it's confines since the census of 1890.
Prof. Cogshall had difficult trip
on his preliminary survey and de-
scribed it as follows: with the data
furnished drove east of Bloomington
six and one-half miles, nearly to the
Brown county line. found the
neighborhood OF the center to be in
an unbroken second growth forest.
thick with brush for about two miles
The road up there is perhaps the
worst in the state of Indiana. The
center itself lies off about a half a
mile from the road in a deep gully.
1t Is covered with second growth tim
ber from twelve to fifteen feet~hiEh
The growth is SO thick that it is al
most impossible for man to make
bis way through it. Before the CEN
ter is definitely and finally fixed, It
will be necessary to make night
trip to the place so that observations
may be taken from the stars
The ravine in which the center is
located is typical of Monroe county
and Brown county ravines and anyone
who has hunted in a gully in this part
of the state knows the difficulties to
be overcome Young trees are SO close
together that sometimes the hunter
can hardly squeeze through.
The ravtne containing the center is
noted for game. Rabbits, squirrels
and pheasants abound and at the same
time rattlesnakes and spreading vipers
are not scarce In the spring the ra-
vines In this part OF the county are

Demonstration Farm

Meade County should have a
demonstration farm. Several
counties up northwest have them.
1t is the one thing needed. Good
crops every year. Demonstrate
everything from how to build
cement fence to make the country
look rich and grand to how to
live 10 to 20 years longer up to
date in everything. More and
better crops the main thing.
Dry farming and irrigation.
Farm should be dividend payer.
Field up the town and country,
no more living from hand to
mouth. Farm equal 3 rail roads.
We should be-prepared to spend
20 thousand dollars for Demon
stration farm. That's a mere
drop in the bucket to what the
benefits will be. 1t will reduce
taxes. 1t is not putting tax on
future generations as it is sure
thing, same as Irrigation. Let
us show the world we are alive
and up to date. Farms are the
advance guards of civilization.
II poultry plants will equal
3 railroads in way of benefitting
the county. The county is just
ready for a boom, a farm will
give it a big start. We want
corn to yield so to rs per acre,
wheat 40 to so. We can do it.
We want dairy cows that will
return 2 thousand year. They
have them in California. TIC

1912 Wheat

Soon as 1911 crop is off the
ground, we disk the land, double
disk if necessary, then we pillow
deep. Let no moisture escape. In
the fall and winter harrow the wheat
as often as needed which robably
not be often in fall and winter, but
in the spring harrow probably once
week that is harrow when needed.
Let no moisture escape. Keep har-
row going until the last minute rain
or no rain. Stirring ground often
brings good crop. Try 10 acres in
hills cultivated with hoe and ma
chinery, also o acres in rows say 3
feet apart, or so it can be cultivated.
Raising wheat this way you should
get from 20 to so bushels per acre.
Do your part and big crops will
come. Cultivating all the crops all
the time brings results.
