RESTORATION OF THE BISON
Texas Farmer Buys Buffalo Calves,
Which He Expects to Become the
Nucleus of a Great Herd.

HOUSTON, Restoration of
the American buffalo that once roam
ed the plains of Texas, is to be tried
by A. Luthe, farmer of Aldine, near
Houston. Mr.. Luthe has purchased
four buffalo calves from a Denver
naturalist which will become the nu-
cleus of a great herd, which he plans
later on to turn over to the state
for the stocking of the state game
preserves.
The bison at first. will be confined
in an acre pasture, but as the herd
grows larger pasturage will be pro-
yided, which also will aid them in
getting away from the domestic state
confinement causes. Later the herd
will be turned over to the state and
the care and protection of the buffalo
given into the hands of the state
game warden.

MARKING SOLDIERS GRAVES.

How the United States Government
Provides Stone for Each.
The United States government has
provided 100000 markers for the
graves of soldiers. From two mar
BILE quarries, one at Lee, Mass, and
one at. Rutland, VT, all these tomb
stones have been taken. Lee has
furnished 100000 markers in the
last IS years, and is turning out
gFavestones at the rate of 10000 a
year.
Each marker is three feet long,
one foot wide and four inches thick,
and weighs 200 pounds. Just under
the rounded top is outlined an inlaid
shield, and within this is cut the
name, age, company, rank and regi-
ment of the soldier, sailor or marine
whose grave it is to mark
These stones are shipped usually
by the carload to certain distributing
points named by the war department.
For the New England states Boston
is the distributing place, New York
for the middle states, Chicago for the
middle west. Denver, San Francisco,
Atlanta and Houston are other points
Of shipment.
Washington has received the great
est number of these markers. Thou
sands have been set up in Arlington
and other government cemeteries.
Not only does the government fur
nish the tombstone free, but it pays
the freight to it's destination. All
that has to be done when the stone
has been delivered is to have it car
ried to the grave from the freight Of

| but from the appearance of the plant
| | am inclined to believe that it was
not far from right. The region to-
ward the river, where cotton is
grown only in alternate years, is
said to produce even larger crops.
The yield of corn at San Sebas-
tian must have been correspondingly
large The hills were planted at the
same distance as the cotton, with
four or five stalks in each hill.
Very few sterile stalks could be
found, and most of the stalks bore
two or three we'll formed though
rather small ears. The plants before
being doubled must have been about
eight feet high.
The Cultivation OF Corn.
ION December 4th we left Mexico
City for South Mexico by way of Cor
doba and the Vera Cruz & Pacific
railroad. Corn is quite extensively
cultivated about Cordoba, and here,
as in all parts of this country where
there is insufficient pasture, the tops
of the stalks are cut off for fodder
as soon as the corn is full grown.
At the same time the stalks are also
broken down just below the lowest
ear, so that the ears hang with the
tips down a process known as doub-
ling.
This custom of doubling was af-
terward found to be universal
throughout Southern Mexico, both in
dry and wet regions. In dry locali-
ties it is employed to protect the
or in fpnr L.
in fields often for months, and except
in rare cases is there immune from
the weevils. In the most regions
this practice allows the grain to
harden without injury from the rain,
as the ears shed perfectly when
hanging. Doubling might be used
to advantage in parts of the United
States when there is excessive rain
at the time Of harvesting, such as
the summer of 1906 in the vicinity of
where quantities of
corn were ruined through the germi-
nation of the grains before the corn
was picked.
Another important reason for
this practice in some parts of Mexico
is to protect the ears from parrots
and parroquites. While the ears are
erect the birds can light on the sides
Of the ears and open the husks, but
when the ear is pendant they have
no place to stand from which the tip
Of the ear can be reached.
While in TuXtla we secured sam
pies of curious double-eared corn
hat was at first thought to be mere
~ an abnormality. We soon found
these ears in such quantities, howev-
er, as to lend color to the Statement5
Of the natives that this was a real
variety that always came true TO seed.
1t is certainly not a case of simple
fascination, for the ears are not
grown together, but have branched
just inside the husk. Kernels are
borne entirely around each of the
branches. We secured specimens of
three branches, and four are said to
be not uncommon. Aside from the
peculiar form of the ears this corn
is type distinct from anything else
found at Tuxtla, and every ear that
we saw had at least two branches.
1t is one of the most popular varieties
here, and is said to yield very good
crops"

WOULD TAX sPINsTERs.
DIR. Downing Would Also PenaIize
Wives Who Are Childless.

Mrs. Charlotte Smith of Boston
wanted to tax bachelors, but the Mas
sachusetts legislature didn't see it
that way. Now DR.. Bertha C. Down
ing of Worcester calls for a tax on
unmarried women and childless
wives.
Mrs. Smiths argument was that
the men are selfish and will not as
sumo matrimonial cares DR.. Down
ing believes that women should wed
also that they should have children,
especially women whose husbands
are we'll able to support a family.
THE increase in luxury" she
said, prevents many from marrying
at all"
DR.. Downing also blames the ten.
dency to intellectually among wo.
men for the lack of marriages. Her
tax, she says, would make a girl hes.
itate before she decided to reject an
eligible sutton for the sake of he,
books and single blessedness.

FOR WHOM WAS THIS
NEW COUNTY NAMED?
Senator Culberson Says 1t
Was Named After His
Father.

When Culberson county was formed
from lower Ell Paso county it was
named in honor of Charles A Culber-
son, senior senator from Texas. This
was the evident intention of the men
who assisted in the formation of the
new county. Recently judge Beaure-
gard Bryan sent a clipping to senator
Culberson telling of the first court
that was held in the county, which was
named in his honor
The Texas senator replied that he
was under the impression that the new
county was not named for him but for
his father David E. Culberson, who
was a congressman from Texas at one
time. This, senator Culberson said in
the letter, was his request at the time
1t was first proposed TO call the coun-
ty Culberson. Local men who had
a part in the formation of the county
insist, however, that the county was
manned for senator Culberson and not
for his father and was named in honor
of the present senator.

GIVES A TALK ON
KARAKULE INDUSTRY
c. G. Young Lectures on
Rare Sheep Before the
Commerce Chamber

DR.. c. c. Young delivered a very
interesting lecture on the karakule
sheep industry as the chamber of com
merce Thursday night. The lecture was
we'll attended and the audience took a
keen interest in the subject.
After showing many skins of various
breeds of sheep and explaining the
methods Of curing and trea ting the
skins for the market, DR.. Young show
ed stereoptican views of the various
cities he visited on his trip to Asia
The first views were scenes in Lon
don, Paris and Berlin which he ac-
companied by short talk on the
points of interest
A view of Dr. Young's home in Rus-
STA was then shown and the doctor ex-
planned how he first got the idea of
raising the karakule sheep for COM
mercial purposes. His brother. who
was stationed at a Russian military
post on the frontier of northern At
ghanistan. wrote to his father, telling
him OF the karakule sheep and the
great money making chances there
were in them
For many years Dr. Young and his
father tried to get pure specimens of
the sheep. but interviewing with in
ferior stock had nearly exterminated
the breed. Finally DR.. Young came
to this country and enlisted the help
Of president Roosevelt. After years
OF labor and at a large expense. he Sc
cured Is pure blooded karakule sheep
With this nucleus he expects, by care
full cross breeding, to produce fur Of
the equal of the socalled Persian lamb.
Fourteen million dollars will be
saved annually to- the American peo-
pie, he explained. as that Is the amount
now expended by America in importing
furs.
In explaining why he had chosen the
Ell Paso valley for his big ranch. he
said that exhaustive tests Of climate
amount Of water grazing etcetera,
had full convinced him that this is the
ideal situation for his test
At the end of his lecture he eInpha-
sized the fact that not only would the
new industry add millions to this sec
ton. but that the amount of advertis-
ing the industry would get would be
a great help to FL Paso. In support of
this latter statement he showed many
full page special writeups that had ap-
peared in various newspapers.

across the entire front Of the station.
This touch Of sentiment was the more
remarkable as the station is represen-
tative Of tremendous commercial ac
tivity, and is the combined port of en-
try and egress for four notable west

Such an inscription was the work of
some one or ones whose interests were

leave a place for regards of a more

It grew out OF some ones assurance

cannot always be near one another

Sentiment is always good, but never

Humanizing of business Relations

dries up the juices of life, it is because
its aridity is unmoistened by sentiments

RANCHERS BUYING
CATTLE FOR RANGE
More Grass Than Cattle Can
Eat as a Result of
Rains.

For once in the history Of the
southwestern range, there is more feed
for cattle than there are cattle for the
feed The result of this unusual eco
nomic inequality has been to boost the
price Of cattle on the hoof as all OF the
ranch owners are anxious to take ad-
vantage of the splendid growth of
grass resulting from the rains. and are
offering fancy prices for cattle TO fat
ten.
Another result OF the recent general
rains has been to make a market for
the Mexican cattle. Shipments OF cattle
from the Mexican ranges have begun
already and are expected to continue
until fall. when thousands of Mexican
cattle will be fattened on the ranges
of the southwest. This means in
creased prosperity for the cattlemen Of
the section.

EDITOR LAURO AGUIRRE
IS GOING TO CHIHUAHUA.

Lauro Aguirre. editor of La Re-

Chihuahua to publish his paper in the
cause of liberty in the capitol Of the
state. Aguirre had a stormy career in
his effort to publish a liberal publica-
ton in Mexico. A price was fixed on
his head al one time and he was forced
TO come TO FL Paso to seek safety.
Efforts were made to extradite him
to Chihuahua to answer charges
against him which were invented by
his political enemies. He is now con-
templating the establishment of a pa
per in Chihuahua which will be neither
for nor against the government but
will print all sides Of the Mexican sit
uation.
Aguirre has been inspector of keno
games in Juarez since the Maderstas
took the town
