SOME THINGS TT
OTHER PAPERS TELL
The recent cold weather has froz-
en the Ice thick enough for skat-
ing. This la the first time in throe
wars that there has been enough
water ill the lake west of town to
make good skating. Although the
ice is somewhat rough a number of
our young people have been taking
advantage of the opportunity to use
their skates.—Hooker Advance.
The report is current this Friday
morning that Kzra Revix, the outlaw
and slayer of Deputy 8herifT B. P.
MMllgan in Boise City on January 7
last, has been captured at his
mother's home in Coffey. 111. Whil
the report has not been definitely coil
flrniend it is a well known fact that
the murderer has been under sur-
veillance at Coffey for a couple of
weeks and several letters have been
received at the sheriff s office here
from the officers in Illinois.
The Guymon Democrat says the
Hooker Advance is getting "in bad"
on the negro question. Well, Mr.
Democrat, here is another newspaper
who thinks there might possibly be
a respectable negro, and there might
be a white villlan. There are negro
with souls so white in comparison to
some white vllllans we know of that
there is no comparison. And. to
appear on the program with an edu
rated negro, does not in any way
concede equality, nor does it place
the negro on social plane with the
other participants. This Is just a
case of "straining out the gnats and
swallowing the camels." "Consis
tencv, thou art surely rare." i<n Okla
homa politics.—Cosmos Pioneer.
Say mister! how it did snow Sat-
urday and as we sat and gazed fondly
out of the window at the beautiful
moisture, we could see in our mind's
eye. long strings, of farm wagons
slowly moving into town past our
window, and as our eye roved back
to see from whence they came, the
long procession converged far out
over the road till it looked like a
tlnv wreathing streak, and disappear-
ed over the hill. It seemed as if it
were a huge snake creeping across
the country—a snake of proseprit.v;
it. writhed past our window and
coiled up in the elevators, and as it
did so it spread prosperity and good
cheer abroad over the country. We
believe in dreams.—Liberal Inde-
pendent.
Every country has some particu-
lar money crop, corn, cotton or
wheat. Broom corn is the money
maker for the Panhandle. An estl
mate of 1400,000 worth of broom
corn haa already been marketed In
Texas county and there is more yet
to come. This is an unfavorable year
to plant broom corn because we be-
lle\e it would be a paying crop. It Is
not too early at this time to call at-
tention to broom corn for next year's
crop, but we would urge you not to
plant all of your land to broom corn,
but make arrangements In your next
years plans for plenty of oats, maize,
and other feed stuff. Broom corn is
a winner—try it next year.—Texho-
ma Argus.
A move is now on foot backed by
the best men in town to secure a
(louring mill. A party in St. Johns,
Kansas, who is not a stranger to
some of our people, has the money
and is ready to put in the mill if he
can get any assistance or encourage-
ment from our people. We know of
nothing, except a railroad, thafr will
be of any more benefit to the peo-
ple of Beaver and immediate country
than a good grist mill. It will give]
the farmers a home market for their
wheat and cheaper flour. It will cut
off the freight in two directions.
From the present conditions there
will be the largest wheat crop raised
next year In the history of the coun-
try, and we tell you that a near-by
market will mean something to the
farmers of 'Beaver county next sum-
mer when they go to market their
wheat.- - Beaver Journal.
This from the Liberal News was
the experience of all the towns up
and down th^ line last week: "The
snow, rain and sleet during the pre-
sent week transformed our usually
busy city into a deserted village. The
activity in the stores, shops and
other places of business so promin-
ent all along gave way to a degree of
inactivity that was impressive. The
streets usually so crowded with teams
automobiles and other vehicles used
In promoting the city's commerce pre-
sented ample room to move without
fear of collision and the concrete
walks impressed the casual pedes-
trian of the immensity of space. The
storm was no doubt present but not
so intense In its severity that the
denizens staid at home from any
other reason than choice."
Another man is dissatisfied with
the amount of taxes he will be com-
pelled to pay to the county treasurer
unless some action is brought to en-
join that official. And this is a good
man, too. A man in whom every
one has confidence and who has al-
ways had the reputation for paying

K|toke of the Southwest
(Continued from page 21
as was ever found In any of the corn
and grain states, we have a very d
llghtftil climate, and we have
bountiful sttpplv of fine water, to-
gether with sufficient rainfall to as-
sure you a good crop, 'f prot.erlv
handled and taken care of. and wh re
such rainfall does not come in suf-
ficient amount you have mountain
streams that fill the irrigation ditches
from which you get what you do not
get from above. A good example
of what endurance and bard work
can do and accomplish has been
given us by the Scandinavian people
along the northwest, west and of
late the southwest borders. No
other nationality has ever moved
west like these people have. Thous-
ands after thousands regardless of
increasing difficulties and new prob-
lems. They have proven that they
know how to work and wait and
with these two qualities, which we
may call endurance and energy to-
gether with intelligence, any man
may go west and succeed. However
if he wants to farm, he also nepds a
certain amount of capital.
The drv farming congress met in
October and I had the honor to be
elected one of the governors of that
congress. Knowing that you are
interested in this move and that lots
of people in the east and in the mid-
dle west do not really know and un-
derstand what this expression "dry
farming congress" means, I shall,
before I close, try to ex,pain this to
you in a very few words. The dry
farming is especially agitated in the
countrv west of the Missouri, but
can be extended to the entire world
as well as in that section. It does
not simply mean farming without
moisture as this is an impossibility.
It Is agitated in the district west of
the Missouri especially because from
this river and west the country is
along the entire line sometimes ex-
posed to dry Beasons. and have not as
much rain as the states east of the
river. These methods are also used
in many states and districts that,
according to government reports,
have plenty of rainfall, such as east-
ern part of Dakota and Oklahoma.
The head rule for dry farming is:
First, deep ploughing. Secondly, re-
packing of the seed-bed as the firm
seed-bed holds more moisture than
the loose; and finally, shallow culti-
vation on the top to create a dust
blanket which preserves the mois-
I ture which is called "conservation of
i moisture." This dust blanket is
supposed to be two and a half to
three inches deep. This shallow cul-
tivation to be kept up and applied
after each heavy rain, to keep the
surface from running dry and from
c racks through which the moisture
will evaporate. Then, we have the
Hummer-fallow, which In extremely
drv countries is necessary to a de-
gree that limits raising one crop
every two years. I
I Now. we have no special method
that can be applied to our country.
The small rules of detail vary accord-
ing to the different countries.
The main advantage of the west
is of course, first, last and all the
time, cheap lands. If it were not
I for this fact, of course, the west
' would not have alluring aspect that
H has. We all know that cheap land
decreases in acreage every year very
rapidly, and the one that wants to
grab the opportunities of today has
not much time to fool away.
Take out great states of Okla-
homa and Texas, with the peculiar
advantages because of the splendid
water facilities and temperate cli-
mate. barred from the blizzards of
heat of the south; it is the meeting
place for everything that is good, as
much so now as in olden times it
was the meeting place for all out-
laws. horse thieves, murderers and
defaulting bankers of the Vnlted
States. . .
Something that every honest,
straight and legitimate westerner
looks upon disapproves objecting to
and revolting against is the ad that
everyone can see in the up-to-date
papers and in the magazines, regard
leas of standard, regardless of what
It effects, as long as it brings the
publication in which it is printed
so much an inch, and the man who
pays so much an inch suckers upon
whom he can unload his worthless
lands at low prices. If these publi-
cations would begin to investigate
things a It tie, before they let wreck-
leas, unconscelntious grafters abuse

About Hog Cholera
Proof of the effectiveness of the
serum treatment in hog cholera,
which is killing thousands of hogs In
Kansas, was ®hown to Nebraska far-
mers last summer in an experiment
with it on the farm of R. E. Grln'-tead
near Salem.
Mr. Grlnstead is a progressive
farmer. At a public gathering
out in his neighborhood last spring
he ;\sked the representative in Con-
gress from his distirct to have the de-
partment of agriculture assist in
ch-iking the disease. Mr. Grin-
st< :id offered to supply the hogs for
tli- test. '
\V. B. Niles who conducted the ex-,
l" i ment at the Kansas City stock
vards in July and August, was sent |
to Salem. Seven sick hogs were j
taken from Mr. Grlnstead's herd.;
ami eight healthy ones which never j
hail been exposed to cholera were j
boucht from another farmer by Mr.
Grlnstead. Four of the eight
wen inoculated with serifm and fouri
«. left untouched. The sick and
w> I hogs were put into the same pen.
Within tw^nty-iour hours six of j
the seven sick hogs had died and
w.thln seventeen days the four hogs
that had not been inoculated caught
tin cholera and died. One sick hog
recovered and the four that had been
inoculated were not touched by the
disease. From these hogs serum
w; obtained with which other hogs
hail been treated, and In a short
time the disease had been stamped
out. ,
Any veterinary sergeon can make
serum.
