Wild Geese Destroying Wheat.
Groom, Texas, Feb. 8.—Wild
geese are destroying wheat fields
in this locality, and farmers are
offering a liberal bounty for
scalps. All wheat growers in
this country will meet here next
week to agree on the best meth-
od of killing or driving the mil-
lions of wild geese out of the
county. All lakes and ponds are
literally covered w'th geese and
ducks, and hunters declare they
are gentle. Three geese were
killed today in the main street
of Groom, and fully 100 more
were slaughterd on the lakes
near the town limits. Old set-
tlers say this means an early
spring and bumper crops this
year.
Shelter for Quail.
Kansas City Journal.
William E. McCulley of Macon
county thinks he has solved the
problem of preserving quail. He
owns quite a large farm and he
discovered that quail were be-
coming more scarce every year.
Then he set about studying the
cause and came to the conclusion
that it was for the laek of shel-
ter.
Since then he has planted ev-
ery spring sugar cane along the
side of the hollows of his farm
and permits the same to stand
during the winter. It furnishes
the quail not only food bnt shel-
ter of the k nd they like. Other
farmers have adopted this plan
and think it is just what they
needed.
It is a fact that quail will not
stay where they ean not find
shelter. In many of the best
counties there is not very much
natural shelter left,, as every
foot of available ground is un-
der cultivation. In such locali-
ties it has been observe that the
quail have nearly all left, and it
seems pretty well settled that
they will never return unless ar-
tificial shelter is provided for
them.
Sugar cane when thickly plant-
ed, furnishes just what these
birds seem to want. They are
very fond of the seed, and as the
season advances the cane stalks
fall down and provide a thick
mass in which the quail can hide
from their natural enemies, owls
and hawks, and also affords a
nesting place for spring and
summer.
Try it Once.
Thare is more actual misery and less
real danger in a ease of itching, skin
disease than any other ailment. Hnnt's
Cure is manufactured especially far
these eases. It relieves instantly and
cures promptly. Absolutely guaran-
teed.
For Representative.
R. M. Reed, of Aspermont,
Stonewall County, sends in his
announcement this week for Rep-
resentative of this, the 104th
District. Mr. Reed says he has
no special issues to discuss in
making his announcement, but
says: "If elected will promise to
fill the office to the best interest
of the whole, with partiality to
none and according to the pure
principles of sound Democracy
as I understand them. I hope
to visit your people in the near
future." The Aspermont Star,
the home paper of Mr. Reedr in
commenting upon his announce-
ment says:
"We take pleasure in announc-
ing Mr. Reed because we believe
him to be eminently qualified to
represent us in the legislative
halls and because we believe he
will endeavor to do so with cred-
it to himself and with pleasure
and satisfaction to his constit-
uents. Mr, Reed has been a res-
ident of Aspermont nearly six
years, during which time he has
been engaged in the practice of
law and has twice served as
County Attorney. He was rear-
ed on a farm in Caldwell county,
Texas, and graduated at the:
State University at Austin. Dur-
ing his abode here he has con-
ducted himself in an honorable
way, to the credit of himself and
his constituency."
Catarrh and Headache.
Mrs. Z. E. Goferth, 1119 Kelly Street
Kansas City, writes: "After using a
sample bettle and two 26c bottlea of
Hunt's Lightning Oil, I am almost well
ef Catarrh. It stops my headaahe. It
is the best medicine I ever saw, and I
can't keep keuse without it." She i
right.
For Connty Jndge.
In our announcement column?
this week you will find the name-
of J. H. Milam for County Judge
of Knox County. Judge Milam
is now serving his first term and
we have heard no complaint as to
his administration. He is mak-
ing the county a good official and
takes a deep interest in its wel-
fare. So far there has been no
talk of an opposing candidate,
and it now looks as though the
Judge is going t* have it all to
himself and he is not raising any
objections.
