The growth Of the live stock business
in the west in the thirteen years past
has not been confined to horses alone.
The figures furnished by Mr.. Grant
show that the sales of cattle in Kansas
City in 1871 were $780, 1927 head; last year
year they were 400. 780 head. The sales
of hogs in 1871 were 4l,O36, and last

1871 were 4,527, and last year 119. $685..

Horse Growing IN the West.
denver Republiean.1

Few people have n idea of the
growth of the live stock interests in the
west, especially in the horse branch. It
is only a few years since Colorado and
Kansas were bringing their horses from
the east. Now Colorado and Kansas
are both shipping horses to the east, and
in no part Of the union is there such an
effort being made to improve the horse
stock as in these western states. MI. s..
S. Grant, manager of the horse and
mule market at the Kansas City stock
yards, gave a representative of this pa
per some interesting statistics of the
business ut Kansas City, which shows
its wonderful growth. In 1871 the num-
Der of horses sold at the Kansas City
stock yards was 800, and their average
value was $66. In 1883 there were 10, $50
head sold, and their average value was
S207. a large number of those sold in
1888 were fine blooded stations at large
prices, which made the average price
exceptionally large. From January |
to November | of the present year, the
number reaches 25, 594. Most of those
horses and mules are from the western
ranches, and they are sold for the east
ern market. The west is not only the
granary and beef producing region for
the United States, but is rapidly becom-
ing the horse growing region as well.
Mr.. Grant told a story at st. Louis the
other day which shows the character of
horses grown in the west. He said the
guartermaster at st. Louis desired to
buy four span of coach horses, and was
very particular as to the kind and style
of horse he wanted. He was determine
ed to have only the best, and to get
them he hunted through Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky for months. At
last Mr.. Grant. learning his wants, told
him he could supply them at Kansas
City, and he did suit and supply him
with horses grown on a Kansas farm.
Those horses were in st. Louis last

Several cowboys who have been at

The Stewart Rancho Co. have started
their first drive of beef cattle to the rail-
road at Calgary. We understand that
the drive numbered 80 head.
The Union stock yards, of Chicago,
have a capacity for 1O,f 90 sheep, Il, 900

a pinch they could do a little better

Great Britain imports about S45, O0O,-

Bailey 81 Co., and in the Stuart Kohrs
Cattle company, whose stock range near
Fort Maginnis, Montana. The latter
company owns Is, 900 cattle, and shipped
1900 head this season. Mr.. Billings
who was in St. Paul lately on his way

All of the vast cattle ranges which
some few years ago seemed as though
they never would become exhausted or
be taken up, says the Macleod Gazette,
it would appear that Northern Montana,
and the grazing region of the Macleod
district are about the only ones left,
and even these are on the high way to-
ward being rapidly filled up. We speak
of course of the winter ranging country.
where stock can be left to shift for them
selves. In these countries, it has come
to the point where careful management,
and good business ability must be
brought intoplay. The happy-go-lucky
style of ranching is past, and in its place
must come the clear business tact which
makes a business yield the maximum
profit at a minimum expense. Those
who are in the COW business should
study out its details, and become
thoroughly practical as far as possible,
just as they would be obliged to do in
any other pursuit. There is more
money in the cattle business, when
properly managed, than in any other
that we know of. In this country, pro-
violence will do a mighty lot for the
cowman; but at the same time provi-
dence will not do all.

Our Schools.

The Public Schools of our country
are supported and patronized by the
masses OF the people, and they ought
to know and understand what is being
done in them. Could there always be
thorough understanding between
teachers and parents, in regard to what
their children are doing at school, 4
great deal of trouble might be avoided,
aud the common schools of our land
would be in far better condition than
they now are. We, the teachers in
the Wadena Schools, will do all that
is in our power to make this!school
success. We want to do something
more than simply ''give satisfaction"
We want to implant in the minds of
those under our charge a desire to be
wiser, nobler and better. not for praise
or popularity, but for good in itself.
Our course of stady is just as co mplete
rs that of any of the High Schools Of
Minnesota, and it is going to be just
us thoroughly mastered here as any
where, but let it be emphatically un-
derstood that it is going to require
work from the pupils as we'll as the
teachers to do it. The completion Of
the course by any one will 6t that
pupil for the State University, or en-
able it to command first grade certifi.

this work is done to the detriment Of
other studies, we wish to say that on.
ly a small POI ton of the six hours of
each day is devoted to it. We are
making a specially of the elementary
work. Reading, Writing, Spelling and
| Arithmetic, have, AS they ought to,
the principal part of our time. Dur
ing the past three weeks there has
been an enrolment of 1855 pnpils in
the four departments. There are eight
non-residents in attendance; seven
young ladies and one young man, all
of whom have manifested diligence
which indicates that they are here tt

them by having your children at tn
school building at tho last ringing O
the bell for both the forenoon and at
tcrnoon sessions! Should any ofiyou
children he absent or tardy, we wan
you to send a written excuse by then
to their teacher the first day that the!
attend afterwards. Each teacher viii
report every absence or hardness t.
the parents or guardians, at least one
a month. In this way we hope t.
avoid these troubles entirely. In
