Several scientists have recently
made statements to the effect that the
fly is one of the most potent spreaders
of disease, particularly during an epi-

some plan for popular warfare against
flies may be evolved.

Dear Sir: In answer to your Inquiry will say
that very familiar with all Of west Texas,
and especially the Big Springs Ranch, having
resided mere twenty eight years. ! have always
thought you had the cream Of the country In the
quality Of your lands, both for farming and stock
raising.
AS ranchman, used think before it was
tried, that IT best suited for stock raising,
since the farmers came and have seen many Of
them pay for their cultivated lands in two years
out Of the crops alone free admit that
tkis Is the best farming Investment that know
of, but would suggest diversified farming
raising combined would bring the best results.
1910 is the worst had, but the we'll

This bids fair for u bumper crop as we
have not wanted for rain single week since
February. sending you a sample of wheat
that have just pulled and you will note it is
breast high and the grains very heavy and
filled to the very end OF the head, which believe
you will find is peculiar to West Texas: All you
need Is to show your lands to any thinking farmer
from the middle states and your sale is made.
Wishing you success, am yours very truly,

That the Big Springs Ranch is a Great
Country for Stock Raising.

The highest price ever paid for grass fed cat.
tie was paid to Colonel Slaughter in 1882 for a
bunch of cattle that were raised on the Big
Springs Ranch. These cattle were three years
olds, averaged LOO pounds, and brought cents
a pound at the Hunter-Evans National Stock
Yards at st. Louis. The cattle were unoaded
twice in transit. Colonel Slaughter still holds
the premium awarded him, priced memento of
the old days, and proof positive that the Big
Springs country is the place for stock raising.

Explosion Which
Destroyed Maine
Was From Within

Washington, July 6.-The loss
of the battlesbip Maine was
caused by the explosion of her
three magazines, No such effect
as that produced upon the vessel
could have been caused by an
explosion from without.
Such is the opinion of General
William II. Bixby, chief of sngi-
neers, U. s. A., who has returned
from a personal inspection OF the
work OF raising the Maine.
General Bixby said that a por-
ton OF the deck over the maya
zines was blown upward and laid
backward and there were numer-
GUS conditions OF the hulk which
proved that no explosion from
the outside could have caused
the same result.
General Bixby does not believe
the bodies of those who lost their
lives will be found in the Maine.
He says they are probably bur-
led 200 feet or more from the
wreck In the mud.
