Regarding Mars and Social Matters

''1 see that the question as to whether Mars is inhabited or not is causing con siderable speculative interest in scien- tific circles" said a well informed man. For myself, I am satisfied to leave the question where it has been since the time when man was made to wander and
 join with the astronomers and their rich packers Astronomers have to eat as well as look at the stars), I would not now encourage them to discover more trouble l for civilized man, who after he has saved | himself from the cook and the state leg | islatures doesn't care to look for other
 neighbors who will more than likely need
 to be policed.
 "The Martians, if there are any, must l necessarily be a warlke people; wouldn't
 they be? Well, look at Mexico and South
 America. When they are not fighting off
 the peculiar form of choler from hot
 tamal indigestion with a revolution, they
 are raising children to fight. or are fight ing chickens. So I say, don't discover
 Mars inhabited. The flying machine is coming into general use before very
 many years, and the desire of some of the high flyers in social life to do the latest
 stunt will lead to complications and pos
 sibly bomb throwing from up there,
 caused by jealousy because no race or
 men or devils can withstand the chic and
 charm of the American woman GU. s. A.)
 Think of American Diana in gilded spangles, free-limbed like bird, with wings, striking out for little jaunt to see cousin she has found on Mars-or Mars Cousin, and leaving word for hub by to send her wireless every 12 hours as to how the children are, and if the nurse talks in her sleep.
 'so I say, like Tennyson Let us alone we've had enough of motion and of &C., tion.' Let some other race of men have something to do. As yet we do not know which was the first the hen or the egg, even if dame Portington has been forced to two eggs per day."

OKLAHOMA RANGES ALIVE WITH CATTLE.
READY FOR MOVEMENT TO THE MARKET.

wealth of Oklahoma for 1910, shows
there were 1,473,523 head of cattle
owned by Oklahoma farmers, with a
total assessed value of sl2,9l3,47O. 1t
state board of agriculture, that every
head of stock above the quarantine
line is worth SO to s. more to the own
ers than cattle below the lines, and he
places the number above the lines at
70 900 head. Their increased value he
places at s225,O00.
For the purpose of handling the
cattle that are shipped annually into
Oklahoma, from Texas principally
mammoth dipping vats have been
erected at Vinta, Chouteau, Foraker,
Hominy, Wynona. Kelleyville. Manns-
ford. Fisher, Antoine. Nolagency, Dew
ey, Maize, Brace and Foss, in Oklaho-
ma, and Tlgin, Kan, which is on the
northern border OF the Usage nation.
The pens and vats are constructed, as
a rule, at the expense of the railway
companies that are benefited by the
cattle shipments, and both state and
federal inspectors are on hand to SUI
pervise the dipping and to make GER
tain that the regulations are enforced
At its general shops in Muskogee,
the Midland Valley Railroad company
has erected a great cauldron in which
il prepares the arsenic dip which is
used for Texas cattle shipped into Ok
lahoma and unloaded at its pasture
stations. This cauldron holds 1900
gallons of the fluid, and after it is
manufactured the poisonous mixture
is put into barrels and distributed
among the dipping watts.
These watts are long alleys or ca
mails. through which the cattle are
driven, the fluid being deep enough to-
force the cattle to swim.
Big Range Days Are Gone.
The big range days in the SOUTH
western states are about gone, and
with the passing of the range and the
cutting of the big ranches into farms
has gone also the old-time Texas long
horn. 1t is hard now to find one Of
that breed, and they are becoming as
scarce as the buffalo. A few are
brought in occasionally from the Rio
Grande. but as a rule the Texas steer
has been graded up by crossing the
native stock with the high class Here
ford or short,horn bulls.
Cattlemen state that the improved
breeds require more attention in time
Of severe weather than did the long
horns, but they are more easily fat
tened and bring a higher price on the
market than the old time plains stock.
More of the short-horns can be loaded
into a car and the cowmen find this
fact also a great improvement over
the long-horns. The loading of the
well-bred cattle is an easy task, too,
compared with the old days when 1t
took experienced cowboys and many
of them to fill a train with long-horns.
