As The Seed Is To The Soil, So Is
An Osborne Machine to the
In the construction ot Osborne Implements nothing USELESS is employed, nothing USEFUL omitted.
The Manufacturers of them are both reading the reward of merited success, and contributing to the pros-
perity of the practical, up-to-date planter by providing MOWERS and RAKES, the machinery and con-
structioii ot which represents the e ~ ,
QUINTESSENCE OF PERFECTION.
Your interest will be jeopardized if you experiment in the
selection of your farm machinery. You KNOW what an
Osborne flachine is. Your SUCCESSFUL neighbor is using
one! Can YOU afford to longer hesitate?

AVING Acquired a Magnifi-
cent Oil Proposition, Con«
sisting of One Tract of Land
Situated on Spiodle Top Heights, one
hundred and sixteen and two-third
yards from the Famous Beatty Gusher,
the well that sold for one and one-
quarter million dollars, one hund-
red and eighteen yards from Hey-
tvood Gusher No. 2, and one hund-
red and thirty yards from the Guffy
Gusher, the "said tract of land being
a portion of Block No 38 of Spin-
dle Top Heights, and twenty acres
of land as subsequently specified,
neither of which is in any way in-
volved in any litigation, and upon
the title of each of which two bf
the most prominent members of the
Texs legal fraternity have passed,
the Borealis Oil Company, of Beau-
mont, Texas, has been organized for
the purpose of developing oil and
other mineral properties.
The Twenty Acres of Land
which the Company owns abso-
lutely, in addition to the Spindle
Top Heights tract, to which refer-
ence is previously made, is situated
H in what is known as the C. Will-
iams Survey, Jefferson County,
Texas, and is located near the Lu-
cas and other Gushers, being in al-
most an exact North-western direc-
tion frpm the developed wells and;
on an exact line between them
and Sour Lake. Situated in this
same tract of land are the proper-
ties of the Paragon Oil Company,
which has already let a contract for
a well to be at least 1200 feet deep;
the Consolidated Cattlemen's Oil
Company, which is one of the
wealthiest corporations operating (
in the Beaumont field, and which,
in offering its stock to the public,
for which it is charging 50 per cent,
par value, is accompanying each
sale with a written guarantee to bore
a well of 1200 or more feet. There
are also a number of other exten-
sively advertised and favorably
known companies located in this
territory, each of which is being
promoted by reputable and success-
ful business men.
The Capital Stock of the Com-
pany is divided into 240,000 shares
the par value of each of which is
$1.00.
The object in having purchased
the tract of land on Spindle Top
: Heights was to enable the Company
to truthfully say to those contem-
plating investing in its securi-
ties that it, so far* as it is possible
for any organization to do which
does not at the present time own a
gusher, has eliminated nil elements
of uncertainty, and has, beyond all
reasonabledoubt acquired a proper-
ty upon which one or more gushers
will be developed within the next
ninety days. The fact that Spin-
dle Top Heights is the heart of the
oil field you may easily verify by a
reference to any daily newspaper
or to the prospectus issued by any
reputable company. Each of the
eleven gushers struck in the Beau-
mont field is located on Spindle
Top Heights, and therefore tire
management of this organisation
felt constrained by both a sense of
duty to the Company's directors
and of justice to its stockholders to
secure an interest in the favored
locality.
The, Company's affairs will be
administered in the most economic
manner consistent with business
sagacity, and only such expendi-
tures will be made ns are regarded
as essential to ultimate success.
The personnel of the organization
is in itself a guarantee that those
who may become stockholders of
the Company will derive every
benefit to which their interest enti-
tles ihem, that its management will
be conducted in good faith, and
with the primary object of faith-
fully and effectually subserving
those who have invested in its se-
curities.
Only such a limited amount of
the treasury stock of the Company
as will afford a competency with
which to defray the expense of
boring a well and meet other cur-
rent operating expenses. The stock,
which is, it should be remembered,
fullv paid jip and non assessable,
being for a limited period, offered
at 50 cents on the dollar, the right
of course, being reserved to ad-
vance the price without notice. It
is the intention of the Company to
begin boring its well immediately,
as naturally as soon as active op-
erations are commenced a material
appreciation of its stock will occur,
the present is, therefore, the pro-
pitious time for judicious invest-
ments.
The directors of the Company
give as references any bank at
Houston. Schulenburg, LaGrange
or Weimar, or any reputable busi-
ness house in Texas.
Application for stock should be
addressed to Mr. A. F. Weber,
Secretary, or Mr. J. F. Wolters,
General Manager, LaGrange, while
all communications pertaining to
the Company's interest should be
addressed to the latter gentleman.

A Brave Woman.
A young Venitian lady, the wife
of a lieutenant Dina at Terano,
Italy, has proven herself a woman
of courage lately, as related by the
Rome correspondent of a Berlin
Journal.
This is her adventure; It is
past midnight,.Signora Dina and
child were in bed for a good while,
when all of a sudden steps are
heard in the room adjoining. The
lady, imagines it is her husband,
returning and calls his name, in
lieu of husband a stranger stands
at the open door and orders her
to keep silent on the pain of death.
With wouderful presence'of mind,
the lady siezes her husband's re-
volver on the table near her bed,
turns on the electric light and
points the pistol at the intruder,
who falls on his knees, begging
her to let him depart. The Sig
nora, however, has no thought of
granting his prayer, butjclad in her
night garments, as she is, she es-
corts her trembling prisoner down
stairs to the street and turns him
over to the police. Nor did she
faint on her return but quietly and
peaceebly went to bed.
By Gustav Baufngarten.
THE difference in cost of press-
cloth per ton of seed between
one mill and another de-
pends to an extent upon the qual-
ity of seed and the method em-
ployed in working same. An oil
mill has to contend with several
qualities of seed during a season.
At beginning of each season the
sappy and half ripe seed are the first
we have to deal with. Meal from
this seed should be tested to find
out the length of time necessary to
cook same, which ranges from 20
to 30 minutes in or^ier to make a|
prime oil and cake out of it and at
the same time save in cost of press
cloth. Seed fresh from the gin in
prime condition will, if properly
cooked, require the least amount
of press cloth; seed which has been
stored for any length of time in
large quantities and also frost bitten
seed will run above the average in
cloth. Under cooked meal proba-
bly does about the greatest damage
to press cloth by reason of its ex-
panding like india rubber when
press goes under pressure, and
there is hardly a cloth made that
can resist this strain from under
cooked meal.
Water balls also effect the cloth
similar to under cooked meal by
containing raw meal on the inside,
this meal coming in contact with
the cloth causes it to gum up and
get hard and oil can only penetrate
the cloth uhder great pressure,
which means a greater strain upon
the cloth as the oil must seek an
outlet somewhere.
The present method employed
by the majority of mills, by car-
rying their meal direct from
crusher to hopper above heaters,
arid cooking on an average df 20
minutes on all classes of seed,
will result in irregular cooked meal
at every change in the seed.
1. The meal in hopper cannot
be conveniently examined to know
the condition of the meal.
2. 20 minute cooking will ap-
ply on the greater part of seed dur-
ing an average season, but will not
apply for all.
Some meal requires as much as
30 minutes cooking while some
will be amply cooked in 15 min-
utes.
To overcome this the meal from
crusher should be run to a bin con-
veniently located near cooking
heaters to enable the meal eook to
examine his meal at all times be-
fore it enters the heaters, the heat-
ers can be charged from bin by an
elevator and conveyor with very
little trouble, care should be taken
tq let no meal remain in bin over
24 hours, changing it ofteuer
is better to prevent it from sour-
ing.
if mill has not sufficient cooking
capacity to cook by test, one or
more heaters will be required ac-
cording to size of mill, to enable
meal cook to cook shallow and
thereby keep up capacity of mill
j with all changes in meal, these ex-
tra heaters will only have to be
used during certain periods in a
season. The money invested in
one or more extra heaters would
soon pay for themselves in cost of
press cToth and better quality of
oil and cake.
Water balls are created in heat-
ers by the stirrers. If meal is used
as it comes from crusher rolls, it
being in a flaky condition and get-
ting in contact with the stirrers, it
starts it to rolling on the same
principle as a snow ball starting
down hill. This can"be remedied by
using a good beater, the beater
pulverizes the flakes into fine meal
and the stirrers have no starting
point to even roll the meal into a
marble. Meal which has been
well pulverized will cook quicker
and very even and make a yery
bright cake and oil. If meal is
properly cooked and heaters leak no
steam iuto meal and press plates
etc., are in good condition then the
cost of press cloth per ton of seed
should not exceed ten cents per
ton.

first prze $500 in cash, for second
prize $250 in cash, for the third
prize $150 in cash, and for the
fourth prize $100 in cash. Beside

to be more generous even then last

special prizes, many of the prizes
donated last year very hand-
some and valuable.

put up an entrance fee of §25 at
the time of filing his application.
Entries will be limited to 40. One
half of the contestants will rope on
