Rient of the truth. Intellect certainly
makes for peace. When men have the
intelligence to see clearly that there
is nothing to be gained by war—that
fighting eats up all the profits of the
trade fought for and many
times as much—they will no
longer fight for trade. But
men do not fight for trade alone. They
fight because they get angry, or be
cause they hate one another, or be
cause they think it glorious to conquer
and dominate. Therefore, men must be
elevated morally as well as intellect
ually before they will stop fighting.
They must learn that the command of
the Almighty, “Thou shalt not kill,”
was addressed to men collectively as
well as individually. Now trade serves
to make men acquainted and to break
down prejudices and antipathies. It
enlists their enlightened self-interest
on the side of peace. It holds them in
restraint and affords an opportunity
for their moral nature to assert itself.
It educates them morally and intellect
ually and brings them to abhor war.
with its looting, its slaughter, its hate
and all its cruelty. Education makes
for peace, but it must be education of
the heart and the conscience as well
as the intellect before it will put an
end to international murder en masse.
About 10,000,000 rattle are now to
be found in the Argentine republic.
They are said to be all descendants of
eight cows and one bull which were
brought to Brazil in the middle of the
sixteenth century.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA,

been warm, with heavy showers in
the northern counties. The daily
mean temperature has averaged one
degree above normal in eastern coun
ties and two decrees in western.
The rainfall of the we^k was heavy
in the central and north*'istern coun
ties, generally ranging from one to
three inches biU in a few instances
reaching nearly, six inches. In the
southern and southwestern counties
the rainfall was light, being generally
less than half an inch.
Winter wheat has ripened rapidly
and harvesting has commenced in
southern counties. A few repcrts in
dicate that the heads are **cther short,
but well filled with plump berry.
Oats have improved in northern coun
ties, but continue to indicate a small
crop in southern. Spring wheat is
generally doing well. Coen has grown
well, but is backward and needs warm
weather, and in southern counties
mor rain. In the northern counties
rain has delayed cultivation, nd corn
is generally getting weedy. Consider
able alfalfa hay was damaged in west
ern counties by rain wlrle curing. In
southern counties the *lr" weather has
damaged grass in pastures and mead
<iows, but in the northern counties the
prospect is for an exceptionally heavy
hay crop, and the pastures and range
. re unusually line. Peaches promise
a good crop.

NEBRASKA SOLD WAR HORSES.
Two Th.miantl of Tbcin (Jallop for E*p
Hub Army A|(al»st the tloors.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 1 —During
the last two years Nebraska farmers
and stockmen have sold to England
over 2.0U0 horses for service in the war
in South Africa. The price paid has
varied from $30 to $90, but the gen
eral average has been $35 per head.
Most of these horses came from the
western part of the state and were
sold at South Omaha or Kansas City,
where tha English purchasing agents
maintained headquarters. There is
still a good demand for the tough an
imals known as "war hordes.” The
dealing just now is inactive, but it is
said that the purchasing season will
soon open and that there will be a
ready market for ull horses that can
be supplied.
When England began purchasing
horses in America the agents demand
ed young, thoroughbred animals and
the price paid sometimes went as high
as $100, but they took only animals
that were selected with gre't care,
and were sound in . very bone and
filler. The extravangance or these op
erations was soon demonstrated and
the English agents in America were in
structed to lie less particular in select
ing th" animals. Horses are extreme
ly sensitive to climatic hanges and
conditions and it was found that even
the best American horses could sur
vive only about six weeks of active
per vice in the South African war.
The agents began experiment with
common stock and it was found that
tlie ordinary plains or range horses
from Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana or
other western territory could do just
as effective work and live as long in
South Africa as the high-priced thor
oughbred horse.
