THE FALLS CH > ' TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , AUGUST II , 1905. Hcrcfords for all Purposes 11Y I'Mll.m'Ott M\N , LOST sIMUNUS KANSAS. I began using Hereford blood in 1M5. JJegan in Kansas City looking for a bull , and saw the different breeds in ttiverview Park , being very much taken with the llerefords , their uni form markings and beefy make up. I selected one that ! thought would sire good feeding steers , and I'orthenexteighteen months was the laughing slock for all the old iossils is this part of Kansas , lie was the lirst Here ford here , and something new ; they made all kind of jokes about him , and H > me asked how 1 got him through the car door with his big horns. A good many claimed that he would not stand Kansas'hot sun and dry grass , and that all his tine con dition would soon be gone. I concluded to give him no better chance than any other bull , but a severe test , to see how he would stand it. t turned him out with a bunch of sixty cows and heifers , some high grade Shorthorns and some of no particular breeding , and the crop of calves was the best I ever had in Kansas up to that lime. When the calves were two and one-half years old I fattened them and shipped to Kansas City the following spring. For the first time 1 re ceived the top price , and this did me a great deal ol good ; it was my time to poice fun at the other fellows , and I did so with a good will. This lot of steers fattened bettor and made me a better profit than any I hud ever fed up to that date. Being satisfied that even the halfbred llerefords were the best cattle , thickest bodies and of better feeding quality than any other , we then had no use for any but Herefords. We have shipped grade Herefords to Kan sas City , full-fed , grass fed and in winter as stockcrs and feed ers , and they always sold at top prices for their class ; we often received as good prices for our feeders as the best cattle sold for. Our she cattle were the fattest that reached Kansas City off grass , and frequently the fat test and heaviest were cut out and sold for less money than the others l y fifteen to twenty cents per hundred pounds , the buyer saying they were too fat. This alone clearly proved the feeding qualities of the Hcrefords. They will get ripe on prairie grass- and not require the long con feeding that some of the other. require. i remember getting top price. on steers , cows and bulls all it one season. Cows sold for liftj cents per hundred over the oth ers ; these were grass fed am had been given no corn. Tin steers were fed corn eighty-tlyi days and sold at $ r > .ff ) per him dred , averaging 1,508 pounds the fctop price for a long time They are good cattle that brinj $ lfF > lH ! ) for a car load , especial ly in times so bad as the white of 1802-OU. These steers sold i : January 1SOJI , the cows in Octc ber , 181)2 ) , and the bulls in Marc ! 1808 , bringing$4.25 per hundred Every one of these were Here ford grades except two ( pur bred ) old bulls we had no furtli er use for. After fattening my firstbunc of these cattle , I wanted to tr pure-bred steers ; so I bought bunch of recorded cows , mail steers of the male calves an fattened them as yearling They weighed an average < 1,272 pounds in Chicago , win about twenty-one months eland and also sold for the top pric These steers fattened easily ai were ready to ship earlier tlu the grades. The grades toe about eight weeks'longer ke < before they were ready to shi After fattening the full blood I started to get rid of my grai cattle and replace them wi pure-bred cows , and this is he I came to have Hereford catl and lots of them ; but I do n 1M1SO SUUM'S 110\\ , , IS then' Is mori' inoiu'y in si'lling bulls. There has been n tyood deal said about llorcfordsboiny poor milkurs. 1 cannot see-any dif- fen-nee between the llerefords and any other beef breeds. I don't think it is the fault of the breeds , but the owners of them , h'eeding too high before the fe males have calves will spoil even a Jersey for milking. A man ought never to keep poor milkers , but get rid of them and keep heifers from the best milk ers , and don't buy nurse raised bulls to breed from. There is no use having nurse cows on the place : they are something to get rid of. The mother is I he proper one to raise the calf , and It is the lirst duty of a cow to be a good nurse. Our cows are as good at milking as any we ever had of any breed ; some are extra heavy milkers , and have to be milked when the calf is young to prevent spoiling their udders , and yet they keep in prime condition on grass alone ; some , indeed , too fat for comfort. The Hereford is a breed that will respond to good keep , give good retuans for it , and can be bred into any type desired. Nearly every breeder of long standing has a lamily type of his own. [ think they are en titled to the name of being the largest race of beel cattle , judg ing by the weighing test at Kan sas City last fall , and consider ing the advantage some other breeds have over them , such as Shorthorns , which outnumber llerefords four to one. If the Ilerefords had longer legs they would look larger and heavier. As for the Shorthorns claim ing the credit for improving Texas cattle before the Herefords - fords went on the range , hence , making it "easy for the Herefords - fords to show their good quali ties , "this claim must be taken with some allowance. There are thousands of cattle in Texas that it would puz/.lc a Philadel phia lawyer to tell the breed by which they were graded up , with not a white face or black skin in them , and they will not weigh 700 pounds in their best condition the weight of a good Hereford calf at weaning time. Doubters who will travel in the west of Texas will find there more good cattle with white faces than of all others. WIRELESS MESSAGES.

FOLETSKIDNEYCURE stops irregularities , strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not , and the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body , causing dizziness , backache , stomach trouble , sluggish liver , irregular heart action , etc. If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at once , as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. How to Find Out. G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Yearsi You can easily determine if your kidneys are G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center , N.

When he raised the glass to his lips , he half expected to see snakes in it , but when reflected therein he saw a minature view of the state asylum for the insane , he remembered the Epperson law and he dashed the glass to the floor and went out and bought an ice cream soda. We may well fear the "yellow peril" but the menace thereof is in no wise so serious to humani ty as the "blue peril. " The blue peril is the outer visible sign of pessimism. This peril is a disease , more or less infec- tuous , and the unfortunate vic tim is attacted by the fever of impatience , followed by the chill of despondency. Then comes the second stage , the par oxysms of discontent , the con vulsions of complaint. The vic tim next suffers from locomotor ataxia of the ambitions , and his ideals wobble and his I'aith in humanity and human institutions is constantly undergoing a shak ing up. It is the "blue peril" that the individual is most often called upon to guard against. Tim Sedgwick's Philosophy. ( From The York Times ) If you have anything of any consequence in view you can af ford to wait. You may cover the past with the mantle of oblivion , but you never will forget what is under the mantle. It is the proper thing to love your enemies , but that should not prevent you from loving your friends a good deal better , No matter how modest nor how sincere people are they always like to have some notice taken of their good deeds. Rockefeller and Kogers and Lawson and the whole bunch ol them are democrats. The more the } ' show each other up the bet ter for the country. If you go dreaming or sleeping through life you have no kick coming if others go ahead of you Be alert and active. If you fee inclined to drowsiness or listless ness shake it off and get busy. Beware of the deadly wire. II you see one dangling from any where , shy off. No matter hov innocent it looks more than likely it has several hundred volts o chain lightning concealed unde its rusty skin. A mule's heel are innocence itself beside a Hvi wire.
