Harrison, who served In the legislature as a representative be tween Cass and Otoe counties and who Is one of the largest stock raisers and farm era of this county and who resides near Dunbar, had a thrilling expertenee a few days ago, which he will never forget and In which he came near losing his life. He bought several cars of hogs down In Missouri some months ago to fatten and put on the market and one of the "rail splitters" got out of the pen and made Jits escape Into a cornfield, where it was allowed to remain for about six weeks. Mr. Harrison finally concluded to go out and try to locate the missing animal. Be cause of the recent rain and wet spells the ground was very soft and every step he sank Into the earth from four to six Inches. He located the animal near the center of the field and no aooner had it spied him than It started at him at full speed. He ran for a short distance and fell down, but managed to get to his feft before the animal reached him. He was chased about the field for nearly half an hour but could not get near the fence to get out of it reach. Finally, feeling that he was giving out he sidestepped as the wild animal made for him and fell on Ita back and held fast. They sank into the mud and he was afraid to loosen his hold, knowing that the animal would attack and perhaps kill him. He held fast and yelled for help, but no answer came, and this cry for help he kept up for over two hours, when it at tracted the attention of Oeorge Holmes, a farmer reatdlng a mile and a half away. He went to Investigate and rescued Mr. Harrison, after tying the hog with a halter whlclf he carried. Mr. Harrison was confined to his bed for some day and the hog ha been killed. Corn Yield In Loan.

DRINK QUESTION PERSONAL, DECLARES BOY MINISTER Rev. Leonard TV. yiayder Points Oat Davnarer of Too Btrlnajent Reamlat Ion. "The question of drink Is a question of Individuality." laid Rev. Leonard W. Sny der, D. D., of Cincinnati, O., known aa the "Boy Minister." who Is here for a few day on business, and Is stopping at the Henahaw. "It Is not a national Issue, a state, a county, nor even a local one. No man haa the right to say to an other man what he should eat or drink! No one ha the right to ay to another one how he must conduct his home. No Indi vidual haa the right to tell another Indi vidual what he must believe!" Dr. Snyder takes the stand that unless the liquor element of this state get to gether and bring about co-operation and harmony, eduoate the people to the real points of the liquor traffic and point out where too stringent regulation will be dis astrous, Omaha and the entire etate of Nebraska is bound to go prohibition be fore many year elapse.

Dear Sir and Friend: In answer to your Inquiry as to results of my beet farming, I will try and give you a few figures. We came her to Ordway three year ago thl spring, and rented 70 acres of land, and put It all In beets, from which we harvested 1,150 tons, or $82.16 per acre. The second year we put In the name and ten acres more, or 80 acres from which I harvested 1,110 ton, which I sold for 17.660, or $96 per acre, and last year we put In 87H acres of the same land and harvested 1.700 tons, nrhlc.hr-sold for $8,500, or $96.15 per acre. In the three year that I rented this land I rave one-fifth of the crop as rental, which is the cuAtomary rent, and amounted to $4,880. This year I bought the land and will put In 100 acre of beet.

Our 20,000 acres Is of the fluent roll for raising sugar beets, melons, alfalfa, corn and wheat that can be found In any state of tho union. .You are making no experiment, for this great country has stood well the tents made on every Dropoitlon. Here 1 an opportunity to make money Quickly on but a small ca.nn investment. Read what the V. 8. government Agricultural Department reports say: STUBBORN FACTS See report No. 80, U. S.

The profit In the culture of fruit, melons or vegetables will excel sugar beets. Oats and wheat will double anything done in that line in Illinois. The net profit Jn alfalfa is greater than the gross result on corn. If you want a home or a safe Investment where the weather never delays farm work, where you have plenty of water for crops, when and where you need it, where you have established markets second to none, where the winters are short and mild, a fine climate the year around, where there Is no malaria, where consumption never originates, buy an Irrigated farm at Ordway or Sugar City, Colorado, on the Mis souri Pacific Railway.

What We Have to Offer You The Twin Lakes Land and Water Com pany has the moat beautiful body of farm ing land In Colorado; sloping gently to the nouthward, Just sufficient for easy Irriga tion and the soil hold the water with re markable tenacity. It 1 located In the Arkansas Valley, Otero county, extending along the line of 'two rivers. ' . The sell ha been demonstrated to be adapted to the raising of rugar bests, fruit, melena, vlnea generally, oats, corn, alfalfa, and In fact everything that can be auccasa fully grown In any aeml-troptcal country. W are altuatd a little farther aouth than St Louie No hills, but perfect for Irri gation. The Missouri Pacific Railway run through the entire length (more than ten mllea of the tract), and haa six shipping points. Including three regular atatlens upon It. Thene lands are at no point more than about four mllea from the railroad, making ahort. easy haula for the farmer In marketing hi products. For competition the franla Fe Railroad Is but a few miles, aouth. Rocky Ferd I but twelve miles from Ordway or Sugar City.

Where water la avail able for Irrigation any day, the coat of wa ter te the land owner varies from 10 to $0 centa per acre, per year, lelng only the actual expense for maintaining canal and reservolra and dtatrlbutlng same 10 th farmer. v i f Some Sources of Profit for The Farmer on This Land The soil ha all the element necessary for successful fruit growing, and the cli mate Is most favorable. Rocky Ford, only eight mllea away from our le.nd a thriving place scarcely more than iwenty years old has acquired a national reputation from her frulta anl melon.. Over 1,300 cara of these melons are shipped East each year: many of them being shipped from our landa. It haa been safely demonstrated that ap ples, peara, peachea, cherries, plume, prunea and the smaller fruits, such as grapes, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and melon grow rapldlv and yield profitably. The advantage of cultivating fruit under lr rlgatlen la that you can get a crop every year, and can realize from $100 te $(00 per acre per year from that fruit. The high price of all farm products her haa already been referred to, and thla ;rlce can be ln creaaed by early cultivation. Potatoes and other vegetablei can be gotten to market weeks earlier than from tii great aourcea of supply of these products farther north by reaaon of groater mlldnena of climate and earlier aprlnga. There la not a month In the winter that farming operations are not carried on under or canal; and a day that the aun does not shine is a great rar ity even In winter. Alfalfa, the most nu tritious of hays, grows luxuriantly. Three cropa can be rown each ear, ranging from four to alx ton ner icre The farm era on the lands have male large profits feeding cattle and sheip on alfalfa and beet pulp during the winter and sending them fat to market In the -prlng, and hogs, sheep, turkeys and chickens thrive and grow fat on this same alfalfa; and, of course, with three crop of bloom per year, bee are a very profitable Investment for the farmer. From two -hree carlo id of hor.ev are shipped out from our lands an nually. Theae are some of the sources of profit In farming on our lands.

A warranty deed is as safe as a government bond, an abstract of title that will pass muster and a square deal all around. l3ow, Rflr. Renter Have you ever etoped to think that If you are renting land on shares ind give the landlord one-half that you are working every other day tor nothing? Isn't it a fact? Now Just consider this: You buy of us 80 acres at, say $8,000; you pay down f 1,600 cash, and f 800 each year for eight years. We will now suppose that you put the entire 80 acres In nothing but alfalfa. What Is the Result? Taking the minimum crop of Alfalfa of four tons per acre at the low price of even $6 per ton (we are now getting nearly $8), you have an income of $24 per acre on 80 acres, or $1,920 Annual payment ' 800 Gross profit $1,120 Where can you equal this?
