Feeding Quail.
The lesson of the grent loss of life
among quail occasioned by these
two severe wiutei'8 has not been
lost. Perceiving that abseuce of
food and shelter is the principal
cause of mortality, State 01'ticinls,
game associations, and many have
united in an attempt to make good
these deficiencies Grain and other
' fowl have been distributed freely
and vsten)uticnlly after heavy
.. ! i .i ..I i :
--snowfalls, wnen uie usum io"u is
uMvcml, and suitable shelter has
been provided. Much activity iu
the last year iu Illinois, Indiana,
MrtriSHCUUsetfs. Maryland, New
Jersey, North Carolina and West
Virginia. Such measures are need
ed to preserve the quail from pos
sible ultimatcextinction; for with a
growing army of sportsuieu hunt
ing them annually au army, that
now numbers hundreds of thous
ands iu this country their ranks
are each fall reduced so far below
tho normal that, if the succeeding
wiuter happens to be. severe, ex
termination of many colonies is
almost sure to follow. Such a result
i deplorable, not only for the
sportsman, but owing to the great
value of the quail to agricultural
interests as a destroyer of insects
and seeds of weeds, from that of
the farmer as well.

Tickets on sale everywhere, via
The Texas Panhandle.
For some time we have been re
ceiving; inquiries from investors,
speculators and homeseekers
asking: where we 'conld sell them
good land at n low price and not
desiring to take purchasers and
sell them land in a country we
knew nothing of we made a trip
thru Kausas, Oklahoma, Texas
and New Mexico with a view of
getting for sale the best lands in
the best locations where we could
offer the purchaser the best values
for his money with- the greatest
chance for increase in value and
we have decided that the southern
part of the Panhandle of Texas f
fern the best inducements in cheap
land to be bad anywhere we know
of.
In the Panhandle near the towns of
Amarillo, Hereford and Texico we
were shown land which cm be
boueht for from $7.50 per acre op
depending on the location with
reference to the towns and the
nnnlirv nf inmrovements. ThH
enit nn this land IS from two to
five feet deep, some black and
some chocolate eoil.
Near the town of Hereford water
can be found at a depth of from
40 to 150 feet and a well can be
bored and windmill erected at a
cost of about $100.
This land grows oats wheat,
milo maize, kaffir corn, sorghum
and some alfalfa. The average
wheat yield for the past eight or
ten years is 17 bushels per acre,
we are informed. In some cases
as high as 36 bushels to the acre
has been raised. Oats will make
from 35 to 60 bushels to the acre,
while milo maize will make 40 to
60 bu.
There is some corn raised in this
locality altho at the present time
there is not a great deal of corn
grown. While in the Panhandle
we purchased a section of land.
We are associated with an immi
gration company which has its
own dining and sleeping car. a
charge of 50c per night will be
made for berth while yon are with
the car. and you can either eat
your meals on the car or not, just
as you prefer.
On Tuesday March 20th we will
personally conduct a party of pros
pective purchasers to Hereford
via the Wabash to Kansas City,
and from KanFas City over the
Santa Fe. The rate for the ronud
triD will be $16.60 and if you are
interested in purchasing land where
one good crop will pay for the
land we wonld be more than glad
to have you call aud let iu tell
you about the country and let us
arrange to have you accompany
us.
Last week there were six
trains of ten coaches each going
into this territory and the indica
tions are that lands will advance
very rapidly so don't delay but get
ready to go with ns next week.
For any information relative to
this country call and see ns or
write and ask us what you desire
to know.
Yours very truly,
LAKENAN & BARNES.
