other Cher The Homestead has the following to say iji praise of the Angora goat The Angora goat suits the situation of a great many American farmers Their friends claim fo them that they are kept at less expense than sheep that they are less liable to disease and that the price of the fleece beats wool They are adapted to a dry climate and whije they graze and make a good use of the short grass they are especially and above all things browsers being fond of brush and twigs and they thrive well in a broken hilly country contain ing much scrubby tree growth The pelts have a very considerable value and the flesh is said to be excellent Considerable contesting of landsin the neighborhood of Irving on the Platte is going on at present It seems that a lawyer in Sidney is at the bot tom of the affair and is taking this manner to levy blackmail omthe Platte river ranchmen In the cases tried so far the ranchmen have been successful It is to be hoped this nefarious business will be stopped and men who are com plying with the law in regard to home steads and who have obtained title to lands by legitimate means will be pro- tected m their rights Alliance Grip i ry county people would like to have the whole west end of the state organ ized into one big association with head quarters at Valentine We know noth ing about the Brown county organiza tion but we know that the Keya Paha River fStock Grower- Association has about a hundred members and that the secretary is kept good and busy filling out new applications Satisfactory and adequate arrangements for inspection at market points have been made with one of the larger associations and the Keya River association didnt have to submit to being gobbled up in order to make such arrangements either The variou3 associations throughout the state should co operate heartily with each xther but thist talk of consolidation is all nonsense Stockmen in this section see no object in having to go to Valentine or Alli ance in order to attend a meeting when they can have a meeting of tneir own at Brocksburg or Stuart The Western Nebraska Stock Association is a good thing and every stockman within its proper jurisdiction should hasten to be come a member of it but it must not get too hoggish or ambitious It should reflect on the fate of the frog which tried to be as big as the ox It is not the only pebble on the beach There are others and some of them are not too small to be of any great benefit to their members Naper News Abortion among cows may be due to a variety of causes Abortion arising from an accident or gany other cause often becomes contagious Infectious abortion has long been known m this country Among the causes of abortion are the following viz Impure water un sound food frosted food offensive smells disease fright over exertion ac cident and the use of bulls that have come into contact with the disease The calf -bed and passages of aborted c6ws should be disinfected and for this purpose and for a continuance of of this operation applied externally as well as internally to the jjetiituls I rec ommend the commercial chloride of zinc 1 part in 1000 parts of water It is less irritating less poisonous and much cheaper than other antiseptics or germicides Drovers Journal A report from Chamberlain S D says that Messrs Wilkes JFord and Ritchie of the Canadian and South Da kota Cattle company recently incorpoi ated under the laws of South Dakota by Canadian capitalists with a capital of 200000 arrived in Chamberlain and left for the range countiy west of the Missouri river for the purpose

Times Horses are going to be scarce and high priced for a number of years to come in this country The reason we make this assertion is the fact that the war in South Africa is using up horses very fast The Boer al vays tries to kill or cripple as many of the enemys j horses as he possibly can for he figures and rightly too from p military stand point that a dead horse is just about as great a loss as a dead soldier The cli mate too kills a great many unaccli mated animals The British army looks to America for its remounts and horse dealers in New Yoit Chicago and New Orleans have orders for about 50000 head to be sent to South Africa as soon as jpossible If this keeps on very long horses will surely become scarce and consequently higher priced C Jo You Have Fifty Cents If you have
