A Lack Of Maternal Affeotion.

AT the sheep ranch where i stopped
the lambing season was just beginning
the time of greatest anxiety and hard
est work for the sheep owner. His
puzzle is to make the ewes own their
lambs. Noticed in one place where d
flock of sheep with young lambs were
feeding, that the old herder with very
unpoetical stick, not at all resembling
the traditional shepherds crook, was
poking up the little lambs to make them
follow their mammies, ,aeast they should
wander away and forget theft offspring.
AT another place, in a corral, q herder
was rubbing the nose of eve upon a
lamb that had just been born to make
sure that the mother should know the
smell of her own child. Two others had
caught and thrown down big eve, and
were holding her while a couple of
weak lambs were sucking enough to
keep them from starvation. Some
times they shut lamb and its mother
into a pen for few days, and thus sue
ceed in making the latter own and
nourish the former; and sometimes If
/ the lamb dies, its skin is sewed on a
living motherless one, and thus the
mother of the. dead one is cheated into
adopting another. BY such devices the
sheep man can generally save from 60 to
rs per cent of the lambs that are born,
and sometimes even more, while if the
sheep were left to themselves all but 25
or 80 per cent of Che lambs would per-

Prohibition and License.

A very strange scene was presented as
Kansas CITY last Sunday. There all
the saloons were closed for the first
time in years. In Kansas City they have
a high license law, which pays reve-
nue. to the city. The money from the
license is to be used on tie streets, and
they expect to have enough this year to
macadamlze road from independence
to Kansas City, nine miles.
In Kansas we have prohibition. Last
Sunday in Wyandotte and Kansas City,
Kansas, the saloons were running in
full blast, and thousands came over
from the Missouri side to get their ac-
customed nip. The liquor was sold in
Kansas and nobody gets any good from
it. The license law is respected and
obeyed, and, worst of all, its tendency
is to destroy respect for all laws.
On the lne between Kansas and Mis-
souri, there are a number OF buildings
standing half in Kansas and half in Mis-
souri,. They were erected TO fill double
purpose. Missouri had strict gamb-
ling law and Kansas had prohibition.
1t was the intention to sell liquor in
Missouri and gamble in Kansas. Since
Missouri's high license law, the bats
and gambling aud all have been moved
to the Kansas side, for liquor sellers
have found that Kansas prob 1rtion is
easier to evade than Missouri License.
And this state of affairs is likely to Con-
tinue at Wyandotte and Kansas City,
Kan. Men who have no other ~isk than
the enforcement of the po1 biGory law
to run can afford to st,.,t up, where
judicious license law would soon put
stop to them. This is a subject for Sc
rious study byiadvoce tes of prohibition.
Here you see the practical workings of
the two laws side by s:de.-Lawrence

Fence Cutting and Cattle stealing

The intelligence from numerous points
where large pastures are fenced is to
the effect that the malicious work of
cutting wires is becoming more general
and demands prompt and effective eff
forts in its suppression. Where a man
erects fence upon his own land. he is
protected by the law and the crime of
cutting pasture fence is double, mas
much as it includes the evident inten-
ton OF driving the stock inclosed there
by, tlom their accustomed range. And
although, technically, the persons who
do cuG these fences, with that intention
might escape the penalty for the second.
the punishment for the first grade of
ofense, may be so heavy as to tietef
others from doing the same mischief
The injury to the owners of these fences
is not so much in the quantity of wire
destroyed or the labor necessary to re-
pair the same, as in the danger that
stock may get off their range and be
stolen or straved. So that the effect
of the mischief is only grade if any
thing, below the actual theft of the AMI
mails themselves, and the probabilities
are largely that the persons who cut the
fences are accomplices or principal vii
lians with the cow-burners and pullers
of yearlings, that NEST" but ought re-
ally to hang ON the skirts of the pas
lures.
We can conceive of cases where per-
sons, whose pre-emption on small tracts
enclosed in pastures, may have q sub
stantial grievance. But the law requires
them to fence all the lands they wish to
keep from tresspassiDg cattle, and il
they are unable or unwilling to do this,
they should sell out and go where thew
can have different treatment. The cat
tie interest is too great and impor-
tant to the state to entertain any notion
at all that any body of legislators pre-
sent or future, will legislate against it
and in favor Of isolated settlers who
have pushed out beyond the ordinary
settlements to found towns with hopes
of growing up by vast real estate specu-
latiOnS.
The stock country is not going to be
settled up very thickly, as long as it is
managed as it is now, and pays the in
vestOrs fine profits. Hence the imi-
grants and others who want to farm or
raise stock on small scale, will con-
suit the part of wisdom if they do not
push out too far from actual farming
communities, where land can still be
bought at reasonable price.
Cow stealing and fence cutting nat
urally go together. The punishment of
the one should come with the punish
ment OF the other end owners of pas
lures should be vigilant and energetic
in enforcing the elaw.-Gaipsville, (Ter.
Reporter.

Anew horsestealing swindle is being
worked in Texas. Two fellows watch
the columns of the newspapers for es-
tray notices. AS soon as they learn that
a ranchman has taken up an animal,
one OF them visits the place, examines
the horse nninutely, and says it isn't his.
The other pal, being posted by the first,
then goes to the guileless ranchnfan and
describes the horse he has lost, which
description tallies so exactly with the
one the ranchman has taken UP that he
thinks the stranger must be the owner,
and gives up without further proof.
Then the supposed owner talks about
the distance to his home, ETC., and
finally offers to sell it at aboGt half its
value. The unsuspecting ranchinan Of
ten bites at this opportunity, and after
Me has gioated over his bargain for few
days, the realowner comes along, proves
his property, and leaves the victim

Cattle in Montana.

Mr.. Ryan, a prominent pork packer
of Cincinnati, writes from Helna, Mon
tana, under date of July 16, to the Gin
| cinnati Price Current: "From the time
left Omaha until got to this point l
scarcely heard any conversation except
ing about cattle. In the cars, on the
streets, in the hotels, it is nothing but
cattle talk and trading. Denver, once
famous as cattle center, has lost her
position, and Cheyenne has taken her
place, and is now the leading cattle
market for the Territories. Large sales
of ranges are made there almost daily,
some of them running into the millions.
A mistaken idea enters into the minds
ot our eastern stock raisers when they
think their cattle are SO much superior
to those raised IN the west. l listened
to relative of mine in conversation
with cattle raiser at Deer Lodge,
Montana. who told him he had just got
accounts f'om his cattle, weighed in
Chicago, averaging / ,430 pounds. He
realized on his range S61.25 per head;
the number was 5000 head, and the
raiser's name is Con. Case. He started
few years ago as a small butcher, and
has become very wealthy. The profits
on cattle in the last five or six years
have been immense. Large fortunes
have been made, none lost. The boom
seems to be stronger than ever, even
with the depreciation of almost all 9TH
er values. Stock cattle hold their own,
and in fact there are more courage than
the old settlers, and are forming new
companies all over the west. A Mr.. s.,
of Cheyenne, recently sold his range to
an eastern company for So, 100000. To
show how money has been made quick
ly, his herd was offered in 1878 to the
same company for 500, 600, but the in
crease from then to the present time
has been very great. The whole herd,
with other purchases made by the same
company, contains in all 5000 head,
calves included. So you see that cattle
raising has been one of the big things
of this country. Now, for instance, take
Oskamp, the Cincinnati jewelers. son,
who six years ago put $4,000 in cattle;
he can get now any day $40, 900 fer what
cost Ss,OOO."
"a friend of mine, since have been
out here, has made a sale of 800 steers,
three-year-old, for $40 per head, that
clear him net profit Of over SO per
head. These are only a few instances
of the immense profits that have been
made. Ten years ago an Irish servant
girl wanted her money from a cattle
raiser who lived at this place. $3.50 was
the amount due her; cattle had been
duh and he could not dispose of any of
his herd, but agreed with her to brand
fifteen COWS giving her the increase, and

The ArkausaW Cow.

The AIkansaw cow is perhaps the
most athletic animal OF her species.
She may be reduced in flesh but her
horns are always IN fiourishing condi-
ton. She seems to have been intended
more for the production oe horns than
of milk. Her milk receptacle is always
small, pale and delicate. finer calf has
lost its appetite she may give enough to
satisfy the stomach, otherwise the
calf must so hungry. 1t would seem
that the milk done up in such small
almost silken bag is rich and of fine fla
vor, but it is not. The bag is so thin
that in summer the milk gets too warm.
It is favored with pennyroyal and herbs
that have never possessed any attract
ton for the human family. The rative
Arkansaw cow does not long for hay or
corn she wants the buds of the sassa-
fras sprout and the twigs of the dog
wood to m x with her pennyroyal. You
might bring her from the hill side and
present her with bundle Of fodder and
bucket of wheat brand desert, and she
would shake her horns in disapproval
She th.nls that such "nick-nacks" are
good enough for the bloated COW of
the north, but for the feet-foot-
ed COW OF Arkansaw such stuff is de-
grading. Her good pride seems 10 be
in her fieetness. Sometime ago party
of gentlemen from New Yo.k came to
this state for the purpose OF engaging
in an extensive deer hunt. They went
out among the hills and turned loose
their hounds. A wild and exciting chase
Immediately began. The gentlemen
were in luck; they had not dared to
hope for such easily acquired sport.
The deer fed along the hillside, and
strange to say kept in the paths. The
excited dogs bowled and exerted ev-
cry nerve, but they could not catch the
the wild antelope. Along towards even
ing farmer came out and angrily ex-
claimed:
Tim great mind to shoot you fell
lows. You amt got no sense"
1--WE did not know that this land was
posted" replied the leader of the par
ty.
''Posted the devill'' vociferated the
farmer, ''you are chasing my mich
cows"
The ATkansaw cow has one virtue that
cannot be denied. Her butter is never
strong. 1t is always weak and delicate.
The older it gets, the more grey haired
IT becomes, the weaker it is until at
last its white locks are brought down
in sorrow to the grave. ye.-Arkansaw

Although ''it's wise child chat knows

expected that any husband would know
his own wife. But, strange to say, Jo-
