A NEW use has been found for
tobacco waste by the paper manu-
facturers. The stock costs less than
rags, and makes paper equal to
Manila. This can be made very
important source Of revenue to to-
bacco growers, and they are already
beginning to take advantage Of the
demand. We have heard Of papeY
car wheels, and the statement is
now made, as a joke, that paper
bottles are being made in Germany
and Austria; the recipe for making
them is said to be ten parts rags,
forty parts straw and fifty parts pulp.
The bottles are made in two pieces
and joined. Here is chance for a
new industry. There is new de-
mand for imitation wood paper, to
be used for covering boxes, etc.; an
impression is taken in wax, an cleo
trotype is made, and all the knots,
grains and lines are reproduced,
lust as calfskins are turned into
! genuine alligator skin by means Of
; electrotyping. The paper manu-
factalers ere showing a great deal
Of enterprise in seeking new uses
and new markets for paper, and
they deserve success.

Herald: From all parts of the terri

destructive hail storms. In a letter from
W. A. Hedges, at his sheep ranch on the
Musselshell, he speaks of hail stones that
broke the backs of some lambs and
knocked others senseless: that stampeded
stock and caused harnessed teams to run
away from their drivers, and in one case,
that of Ralph Berry, the team became
entangled in the harness and We're drown

after the storm measured three inches in

sheep need the shelter of heavy fleece,

In the earlier days OF the cattle business in
the Ear West the idea prevailed to some ex-
tent that the gradual exhaustion of grasses
would necessitate the shifting of ranches
frolnIplace to place. and the seeking OF new
districts as the old ones became worn iout.
1t was doubted whether recuperation would
at all be complete, and it was supposed that
the renewing process at best would be a slow
one. Years of experiment have shown, how
ever, that reasonable grazing has no perma-
nent deterioration effect whatever upon the
range. Regions which were noted for lux
uriant grasses ten years ago furnish as good
pasturage to-day as when cattle were first
driven upon them. In unfayrable seasons
the grass is sometimes eaten off to the extreme
OF closeness, and the roots seem to be almost
burned out beneath the scorching sun Il til
plains. The very worst seasons, though,
have been followed by complete recovery
1t has been but few years since the ranges
Of Colorado were reduced to an arid waste,
and cattle perished by thousands for want of
food, while others were driven into Wy yoming,
New Mexico, and elsewhere, tor pasturage.
1t was thought that a large part of Colorado
was ruined tor ranching purposes. But re-
covery has been steady, and the Centennial
State looks to-day like ANYTHING else than q
desert waste. The permanence of the grasses
Of the plains, upon which the future Of ranch
ing wholly depends, has been established
beyond peradventure. -Pittsburg Stockman.
