A majori-| notice to whatever point it may be | ty of farms in this county are so small that no considerable amount of stock can be kept onthem. Itis an object of prime importance to make as stock out- much as possible out of what there is. While abundance ot side range could be had tor nothing, it made little difference but circum- stances, in this respect, have chang- ed within the last tew years and far- mers must change their tactics ac- cordingly. Inthe North from $1 to $2 a week is realized trom eacli cow. A tarmer owning eighty acres of land can easily keep, at the very tour cows. This would yield an in- come of $4 to$8a week. No one need be told that this 1s more than can be made out of as much land as is required for pasture, by any other means. It woula amount to almost $1 aday during the entire season and go a long ways toward defraying current expenses onthe farm. The general desire manifested to secure the location of creameries shows that the people of Missouri realize the ad- vantage to be derived from this indus- try and almost every day we hear ot new creameries being established. Another weighty argument in _ta- vor ot these enterprises is tnat they will increase the fertility ot the land, Nothing so increases the productive power of the soil as keeping stock. lf a number of cows can be kept and made more profitable than without them, the result can not fail to be beneficial in the highest degree, both from the amountof money actually received and from rendering the soil more productive. OCEANS OF OIL. That’s What They Have at Carbon Center. Nevada City Mail. Very little has been said about it but it is a fact that Vernon county is fully as rich in oil indications as Bates. Especially is this the case in the neighborhood of Carbon Center. Several Pennsylvania oil men have tecently made an examination ot that section and they unite in pro- nouncing the prospects good tor the discovery of oil. To-day Squire Frakes, E. M. Walker, Robert Smith, W. J. Ward and J. M. Bougham, al! of the Car- bon Center vicinity, were in town on business connected with the leasing ot lands supposed to be rich in oil. They accompanied Mr. W. W. Gilmore, a Pennsylvania oil man, who has been there several weeks looking over the ground and locating such lands as he desires to lease. This gentleman very kinaly submit- ed to an interview with a Mail re- porter which was substantially as follows : “Tunderstand Mr. Gilmore that you have made several leases in the neighborhood of Carbon Center ?’’ “Yes sir, fifteen hundred acres or more.’” “For oil purposes ?”* “Yes.” “Then you think the prospect for | finding oil thereabouts good?”’ “I certamly do. I should have wanted to tease a toot of land had I not thought so.’” “Does this land lie in the diate vicinity of Carbon center ?’” “Yes. within a radius of about three-quarters of a mile."* “You are certain of striking oil in paying quantities I suppose ?”" imme- “Well now l can’t say that I am | certain of anything; I can say thi however, I zm pertectly confident of finding oil, and I think it is there in ntities.”” r down do you think you will have to bore?” *Perha; be less, m “When thousand feet: be more.’* may- you begin opera- my ust as scon as we get the land least, | not | is enter- | time, but as soon as our leases are | | all perfected we shall he readv for | work.’’ Say by tall?” “Yes by that time at the farthest.’’ | | **Yousee we have all the necessary | machinery, and it will be but a small matter to transport it at | needed.”* “Do you represent a company;Mr. | Gilmore or is this an enterprise ot | | your own individually ?’’ ‘‘T represent the firm ot Daver- port, Gilmore & Co., St. Lonis.’’ “You are | | i thoroughly conversant | with all matters pertaining to oil, | the way it is found, surface indica- tions &c., I suppose, of course ?”’ | in the oil business since 1865, and have been all that time engaged in boring for it in Butler, Clarion, Ve- | nango and McLean counties, Penn- sylvania. Yes I reckon I know something about whether oil is to be tound or not in an examination.’’ Mr. Gilmore then entered into quite a lengthy description of the in- dications of oil and the modus oper- and of determining whether or not such indications were good or bad. He was decidedly of the opinion that if the prospects for oii here could be known in the Pennsylvania oil re- gions as they really are, capital will flow here at once, and the whole territory be developed in a short time. ‘‘For this reason,’ said he, “Tam willing to give the newspa- pers any intormation I can.’’ Clinton Advocate: It the coal fields of Bates county are the cause of so much excitement why is it that Henry county cannot get up a boom to equal or exceed that in our ad- joining county upon the same basis? We presume there is no question but what we have coal in as great quantities as they haye in Bates and it 1s equally certain that it is of much finer quality and ought to command a greater demand and to that extent be superioras a boom basis. The saying that ‘‘money makes the mare go’’ is a very true one, but the troub- le generally is to get the proper pres- sure upon the money to cause it to move sufficiently to influence the mare. What we want is to get cap- ital, that kind which is ready to car- ry a point against every opposition; just such capital as has taken the town of Walnut in hand and is mak- ing of it a city with a rapidity that seems almost magical. Such cap- ital is floating around waiting tor a lodgment in some favorable spet and it would seem natural to suppose that by proper ettort attention could be drawn this way and a few *‘In- fant Wonders” started up within the confines of Henry county. Calitornia Democrat; There seems to be but little doubt but that ex Gov. John S. Phelps will again be in the field for Governor. Gover- nor Phelps has the elements ot a statesman, has been time and again honered by his State to exalted posi- tions et trust, and has filled them all with fidelity; at the same time would prefer the Governor to re- main out of the fight, not that we have any special choice, but on the principal of rotation, with the knowl- edge that we have offa number offwor- thy, competant gentlemen in the State who would fill the position with credit. we According to the Home Press the La Plata creamery is turning out about 200 pounds of butter per day.
