BATH TUBS FOR HOGS.
That's the Word that Goes Out from
Kansas Pork Specialists

Cay Center, Kan.-Farmers in
Kansas are hearing to-day the final
word in hog-ology, as pronounced by
breeding and veterinary agents Of the
Kansas State Agricultural College, in
a series of lectures on the pork pro-
duction special in a five days tour.
They listened solemnly enough
while DR.. G.. C. Wheeler talked of
breeds and breeding. It was then DR..
F. S. Schoenleber demanded bath tubs
for hogs that the farmers looked at
one another and smiled the smile
that means so much in small town.
But it was not so funny, after all.
"You don't know hogs If you be-
lieve the stories you have always
heard about their being dirty" DR..
schoenleber said. "They would be
clean enough if they had a chance.
They are clean by nature. Put
concrete tub in the hog house; put
in six or eight or ten inches Of coal
tar dip, according to the size Of ami
mails, and you will be surprised to see
how your hogs will go into it, not
only once, but often. The dip kills
the insects that worry hogs, and it
cleanses their skin and keeps them
healthy. The bath tub should have
sloping sides, so the hogs can get in
and out easily. Do this and you will
find your hogs will bathe oftener
than your boys"
The farmers are very much in
earnest about this hog business. Con-
ditions are such, what with cholera
and this and that and the other
thing operating to reduce production,
that something, they res lie must be
done. Hog receipts in five of the
principal markets of the country
were only 9, 776,000 head in the first
nine months this year, compared
with 12,184,000 in the same period
of 1909. In 1908 the receipts in the
first nine months were 14,047,000
head.-Kansas City Star.

Lands are cheaper in Bamberg
county than most counties, when the
class of land is considered. First
class farming lands can be purchased
near town at reasonable figures, and
we should organize publicity bureau
for real estate in connection with the
bushes league. Many farmers in the
Pee Dee section are selling their
lands at high prices and buying else
where where lands are cheaper.
Why not induce them to come to
Bamberg county? We have the
lands, the labor, and the climate
and we feel sure many good citizens
can be induced to move among us If
we get busy and show up our advant-
ages.

to the fact that Notwithstanding the

The old Stone house at the juno

pike with the Erie and Pittsburg
pike is one Of the noted historic
spots in Butler county. Half CEN
tury ago the great stage coaches
over these noted highways put up at
the Stone house for the night.
Buckwheat cakes, honey, country

The building was erected in 1917
and is still occupied. It stands at
the crossroads and is surrounded al
most entirely by a dense forest. 1t
was the first house built, possibly,
on the thousand-acre tract Of land
taken up by the Mcclure family and
is still in their name.
There are many wild and weird
stories connected with the famous
house which the old people in the
neighborhood tell, but they lack the
element which make them true his

TIMBER LAKE GETS LAND OFFICE
COMMISSIONER so RECOMMENDS
BENNETT SAYS THAT LAND OFFICE NOW LOCATED
AT ABERDEEN SHOULD BE REMOVED
/: TO THIS PLACE

The long looked for news came
by wire yesterday from Timber
Lakes representative in Washing
ton, Mr.. Logan Fain, that Com
issioner bennett of the General
Land Office, after considering the
claims of Mobridge, Isabel, Mcln-
tosh and Timber Lake, for the To-
tcation of the land Office for this
district which is now located at
Aberdeen, had announced that his
decision was in favor Of Timber
Lake. Commissioner bennett S
recommendation was to have been
acted upon today by the president,
that is, under the Commissioner
recommendation, the president
will order that the removal of the
office be made.
This announcement, so far as
Timber Lake is concerned, is the
happy conclusion Of rather long
contest. However at no time has
there been much doubt as to where
the office would go, provided the
department would not ignore the
wishes of the majority of the home
steaders on the reservation, Of
whom some 1900 separately petit
ioned that Timber Lake be named;
would not overlook the fact that
we are centrally located SO far as
the land district is concerned; and
being a government townsite we
should be favored, all other mat
ters being equal.
Several weeks ago, the SUM Of
$io,o 900. was subscribed as stock in
a proposed corporation which will
build land office building and rent
it to the government. OF course
it will be several months before a
building of the character that VII
be required by the department. can
possibly be erected, however we
understand that this will not nee
essarily delay the removal of the
Office here. We understand that
the removal will be made very
shortly and that the office will
therefore have to occupy tempor-
airy quarters until the regular
building is in readiness for occu-
pancy.
This decision Of the department
bears vital relation to the con-
tinued growth and importance Of
Timber Lake. 1t ushers in new
era of business rctivity and devel-
opment. Building operations for
the coming season were being held
up to a large extent awaiting this
decision. Now however we may
look for one of the most busy
seasons to be enjoyed by any town
in the state. At the present time
we can positively snnounce the
building of the land office building
to cost $4,000. A hotel which
will cost $4,000. A bank and
office building which will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000. be-
sides several other business build
ings and numerous residences.
Not only will business activity
be confined to building done by
private persons and corporations
but in not to exceed forty days
time our town will be incorporated
and then will begin the construct
ion of cement sidewalks, the pro-
viding Of proper street lights, sew
erage and better fire protection
In addition to this there will also
be installed system of long dis
tance and local telephone service.
Looking farther into the future
we can see another great benefit
the advantage Timber Lake will
have by reason Of the land Office
location, to be named by the vot-

GOOD JOKE ON AL c. FIELD
The Popular Minstrel Man Forgot to
Pay His Dues And Was Barred
the Shooting Contest.

That Columbus, Ohio, has been Sc =,
leeted by the directors Of the Grand
American Handicap Shoot for thei.
annual contest has brought joy to the
heart OF AL G. Field, the minstrel man.
Two years ago when the trap shooters
of America held their annual shoot at
Columbus, Field was one of the most
enthusiastic to insure the success of
the big event. The Columbus Gun ClJb
had charge of the affair. Mr.. Field is
an active member of the club and
chairman of the reception committee
and great lover of trap-shooting. So
anxious was he to swell the attend
ance as much as possible, while he
was travelling over the country with
his minstrel company, he invited his
friends from everywhere to visit the
Grand American Handicap as his spe-
cial guests. A great many came and
a week of entertaining such as he had
never before given took up the time
of the rotund minstrel man. The
weather was excessively hot, so to
insure the comfort of his guests, Field
concluded to entertain them out at
Maple villa, his summer home. The
twenty miles between the city and
farmhouse was covered several times
in automobiles.
Field was busy man, but through
it all he longed for the relaxation that
would come when he got on the firing
line in the sweepstakes shoot. The
lists were made out, the squads lined
up, and the day for which the jolly
minstrel man had waited so patiently
had arrived. Field was there in al
the glory of new shooting suit, a
new gun and had made several side
bets that he would land inside the
money.
Squad after squad found the traps
and the firing sounded like a battle of
infantry. But Field was not called.
He impatiently appealed to the secre-
tary to know when he was to shoot.
The lists were scanned but the name
of Al G. Field did not appear thereon.
Hustling for two months previous to
the shoot to enhance its success had
occupied SO much of his time that he
had forgotten to enter the contest
himself. Neglecting to conform to the
long established rules precluded any
possibility of being permitted to take
an active part. The secretary was
inexorable; the rules must be complied
with.
So Field stood behind the firing line
all week watching his guests, John
Phillip Sousa, Tom Marshal and others
break blue rocks while he broke com
mandments.

Al. G. Fields MinstreIs.

1t was twenty-five years ago that AL
|G. Field began his career as a min
|strel Since then most of the old guard
has passed, but the tambourines still
thump as merrily and the bones clink
Jas sharply as they ever did, the band
crashes out its lively music and MIN.
BILE feet keep time. Nothing seems
to change the minstrel man materially.
He seems always sur of crowded
house and warm welcome.
The Field show is an elaborate one
this year, the owner advertising wide
lily the fact that he has been in the
game one quarter of century. The
entertainment carries with it half
dozen of men singers who rank high
in their profession and the chorus is
one splendidly trained.
The show opens with review, 'Da-
| lvid, the Minstrel man." with Norman
Stanley in the role of David. This
turns quickly to the present day min
strelsy, the Floral Festival. From here
1.-THE scene shifts to Cafe of Momus,
where Mr.. Field gets in some of his
Iinimitable minstrel humor with his
staff of fun makers assisting him.
