As a'n argument against the automo
bile , it is said that horses never blow
up ; but in this country we often hear
of bronchos being "busted. "
If you have not already fixed your
sheds for winter , the recent cold snap
is an emphatic warning that you should
no longer delay. Jt is a good plan , too ,
tcThaul in more hay just now.
The third annual convention of the
National Live Stock association will
meet in Fort Worth , Texas , on June 16.
We hope some of our readers will be
able to attend this meeting , as it will
be of great beneilt to them.
A story comes from Michigan to the
effect that a Ilolstein cow in that state
ate three bushels of sweet apples out of
a barrel in a neighbor's yard. The
next time the owner of the cow churn
ed he was surprised upon opening the
churn to find it half full of a line qual
ity of apple butter.
A Chicago commission firm advises
its customers that the present range in
value between prime ripe beeves of
good weight and short fed , partly fat
stock is the widest in years , being fully
§ 2 00 to $2.23 per 100 pounds. This
being the case it is simply throwing
money away to market cattle half ripe
The Red Pqlledrcattle were first imported - -
ported in STS , ut no considerable
number were brought over until 1882 * .
It is' an old breed and originated in the
county of Suffolk , .England , where Suf
folk sheep and Suffolk Punch horses
originated. Tl'ese cattle are not to be
confounded with the Aberdeen Angus ,
for they differ in type as well as in
color , the color being universally red.
Farm Furrows.
In a recent scientific publication we
notice that a patent has been granted
for a new branding device , which will
prove very valuable to stockmen , es
pecially the e whose interests are in
small bunches of stock and who do not
wish to spoil the hide by burning. The
new device punches small holes in the
ear in the form of letters or characters ,
and fills the holes with an indelible
fluid , thus making a permanent mark.
In Southwest Texas recent rains have
made the best winter pasturage that
has been known for years. Even the
ranges that have been dryest have been
benefited by the rains of about the firt > t
and the twentieth of the present month.
There is abundance of stock water
everywhere and cattle are able to get
out on portions of , the range not grazed
over during the summer , and which ,
consequently , have a fine growth of
grass. Texas Stock Journal.
The last census in Venezuela states
that the number of cattle there was
10,000,000 , and that country will be a
formidable competitor of ours for the
Cuban trade , the Cubans having taken
33,000 of them during the first six
months of this year. The Cubans do
not care for such lare cattle as are
raised here , and us the Venezuelan
product is small but hardy they prefer
those of our southern neighbors. Here
is a chance for Georgia , Florida and
other southern states.
It is not often that cattle are infested
with worms , they being more free from
internal parasites than any other ani
mals , but when worms are noticed in
the droppings we believe it woull be
well to give the following remedy , pub
lished by an Iowa farm paper : For
tapeworms give an ounce of oil of male
fern three times a day in a pint of milk
for three days in succession , and on the
fourth day give a pint of castor oil.
For round worms ive two drains of
sulphate of iron three times a day mixed
in a little oats and shorts , and after (
continuing the treatment for thrcu days
give a pint of castor oil. Oil of turpen
tine is also good as avermifuge. . The
doses given are-for mature cattle , and
they should be reduced at least one-
third for calves.
As long as the sheepmen and cattle
men pasture their flocks and herds on
adjacent ranges , unfenced , tronble be
tween these two classes of stockgrowers
will be possible. Ilecently cattlemen
slaughtered a large band of sheep in
Wyoming belonging to the Geddes out
fit. The sheep had ranged beyond the
line circumscribed by cattlemen and
i
this frontier methodof administering
justice was resorted to. It would seem
that these stock wars might be avoided
if the parties interested would try to
respect each others1 rights , after such
rights had been prescribed and defined.
The official count gives Ilolcomb a
majority for supreme judge of 15,105 ;
and .Neville , for Congress , a majority
of 2,3GO.
"I have no way of judging the fu
ture , except by the past ; I have no
light to guide my feet but the light of
experience. "
- Secretary Gage bought § 23,000,000
worth of bonds on the open market"to ,
relieve the money market stringency , "
but silveritcs , who believe in increasing
the amount of circulation , are called
' cheap money cranks. "
Gen. Wheaton , in the Philippines ,
captured Agumaldo's attorney general
in a recent fight. It would be a god
send to the people of the United States
if somebody could capture our attorney
general. Then we would know where
' he is at. "
If every taxpayer in the county will
watch the commissioners' proceedings
and the treasurer's statements closely ,
he can see what becomes of the coun
ty's money and form an intelligent
opinion regarding the best way to econ
omize , if economy is necessary.
The price of lath has gone up from
$2 a thousand to So. 10 , and other build
ing material is following suit. It looks
now like the sod dobie will come into
style again.--Gordon Journal.
This is a sample of republican pros
perity. The price of lath has raised
over 100 per cent. , but the producer's
merchandise has not followed suit.
.banners and stockmen should re
member that 1900 is the rear of taking
the twelfth census , that it is the crops
of this year which are to furnish the
figures for agriculture and stock , and in
order to hel along in getting a real
census and the true figures , special care
should be taken to keep records this
3'ear , and thus help in this great co
operative work of counting the people
and industries.
Do vn at Valentine there has been a
wholesale arrest of saloon keepers and
gamblers. These men have been
brought into court for trial , charged
with violation of the laws of the coun
try. The only result has been the ac
quittal of every defendant. Only one
plead guilty , and his case was dismis
sed on the ground that the section un
der whicn the case was brought had
been decided unconstitutional by the
supreme court. What is the real result
of such a war against the saloon men of
a town ? We fail to see where any
good can conic of it , but on the other
hand much harm can be done. * * *
We think the temperance people , al
though they they doubtless mean well
and are actuated in their work by only
the purest motives , are. on the wrong
track. It is useless , and worse than
useless , to fight the saluon keeper , the
man who sells the liquor. Strike at the
fountain head ; prohibit the manufac
ture of intoxicants , and the mission of
temperance will have been accom
plished. That's all there is to it.
Crawford Gazette.
There are few ailments so uncom
fortable as piles , but they can easily be
cured by using 'fabler's liuckeye Pile
Ointment Relief follows its use , and
any one suffering from piles cannot af
ford to neglect to give it a trial. Price
oO cents in bottles , tubes 75 cents.
