There is man in Pawtucket who
believes that time is money and that
economy is wealth, and who lives up
to his convictions. A friend present.
ed him with very fine looking cat.
Calling the next day he found the cat
without any tail, the tail being cut
off as close to the body AS could be
without cutting the tail off behind the
cats ears. When asked why he had
done this, she remarked, II have to
let this cat in and out Of this store a
good many times a day. Now, if the
cat had long tail, don't you see, I
would have to lose so much time
waiting for the tail to go out or in,
whereas now have only to wait for
the cat. A tail is of no earthly use to
a cat, and especially to this cat, so
you will see I will have the cat just
the same, and lose only the time of
letting the cat in and out, thus saving
all the time that would be lost in let
ting the tail in and out. .'-Wester7a

SEkTHA.
To the Editor Of the Northern Pacific Farmer.
AS I have been reader Of the
FARMER ever since its first issue, l
rather like to see an item from the
town l live in, occasionally. But it
appears as though somebody has
neglected to have this town repre-
sented on the page of correspondence,
so thought I would venture few
lines to fill up with.
Seeding has finally commenced;
ground rather heavy.
Mr.. Bloom had the misfortune to
lose a splendid young mare which
it took $l25 to replace.
Mr.. Cary. sold his farm to Mr..
Deane. Consideration $3.50.
Mrs. Atwood returned home last
week from New York, where she was
visiting during the past winter.
Making maple sugar is the order
of the day now. Brown and Morical
have made 450 pounds, and II
gallons of syrup, and loaned out
syrup enough to make 50 pounds
more to some low lived pusilanimous
cusses that were too lazy to make
for themselves. and too aristocratic
to beg. After carrying off all they
could they went (all three Of them)
and pulled the spiles out of about
two hundred trees, and hid or carried
them away, but one of the cusses
dropped his bandanah. hankerchiet
which was found the next morning
and gave the gang away, as one of
them was seen using the identical
red and speckeled rag the day before.
B. and NJ. took the tracks and tracked
them to their den, and it is useless
for them to buy or trade for syrup
to make thiefs cloak. l was aware
that people have been killed in Todd
Co., but didn't think there was any
one mean enough to steal sugar.
Hay is very scarce and a high
price.
Stock in this neighborhood winter
ed we'll but will need grass when it
comes.
Mr.. Reese has been plowing fol
about a week. Go in Mr., r., the
early bird catches the worm.
Mr.. Clukey went to Shell Lake
fishing, but didn't catch any fish SO
he brought duck home with him.

MAYOR CHASE had the audacity to tell
the city council that he supposed
the resolution requesting him to send in
hisannual appointments referred to the
chief of the fire department, about whom
there was some controversy, and he
therefore sent in the appointment of
Chief Butler. Mayor Chase we'll knew
that the resolution referred particularly
to the city marshal, and he well knows
the reasons why the council and the pub.
lie want him removed. 1t was expected
that the mayor would, at Tuesday even
ing's council meeting, send in the ap-
pointments or make some explanation of
his conduct. The mayor sent in no ap-
pointment of city marshal, but made
some driveling excuse for retaining Guth-
rie. He can find no precedent, he says,
for making annual appointments. SIN
my experience in life l have become
something of a detective, and hope the
people will not think that l would re-
move an officer unless there was some
thing against him." says the honorable
mayor. Comment is hardly necessary.
Suffice it to say, Mayor Chase is certainly
possessed of monumental cheek and unex.
ampled stubbornneas. His course Car
only be accountedfer by the fact that he
dare not dissolve the partnership of Chase
& Guthrie.

WEST or THE MISSOURI.

The stock raising interests of the west
is at present undergoing an important
change for the better, 1t is no longer q
paying investment to purchase a herd of
cattle, brand them, and turn them loose
on the prairie, and few men are reckless
enoughto do it. The gradual and well DE-
fined change in the climatic, conditions
of the country, the increased rain and
snow fall, attributed to the rapid in
crease of cultivated land, and the enor-
nous growth of the business, compels
the adoption of more civilized methods
for the care and protection of stock.
Ten years a.) all that was necessary to
start a man on the road to fortune wal a
cow and n bull. Turned loose on the
boundless plains and fed on buffalo grass
they multiplied so rapidly that in five
years a comfortable competence was a
certainty. In some cases a pair of spurs
and a branding iron were the only CAPT
tai needed to secure the favor of the
tickle goddess, but the methods of the
latter class generally brought them to
ropes end or to quartersin a penitentiary.
The rapidity and ease with which
money was made in these days
naturally attracted an unlimited amount
Of capital and hundreds of energetic men.
So great has the influx been that to-day
there are few acres of the public domain
to be found in Nebraska, Wyoming, Col
orado and Montana that are not inclosed
or included in the range of some cattle
king or company. The process of mo-
nopolizing:and consolidating small herds
into large concerns, and fencing in vast
areas of public land has been going on
for several years. The former has proven
. profitable success, the fences have not.
What the government and the fence cut.
ters have not demolished, the owners will
finish. There are upwards of 5000, 900
Of acres now under fence in Colorado and
al equal amount in Nebraska and Wyo-
ming, that do not belong to the parties
owning the fence, but are the inheritance
of the entire people. There is but little
question that the Secretary of the lnteri-
or will soon order all fences down, where
the fence owners do not hold patents to
the lands. This has been done in o few
instances and the order will be made uni
~versal, without doubt.
The past winters storms have proven
fatal to herds ON fenced lands without
natural or artificial shelter. In the nor
thern part Of Colorado, on the Republi-
ian river-where the fences are-there
has been a heavy loss of cattle. In some
sections the loss has been Is high as 20
per cent of the whole number Of cattle,
while throughout the State the loss has
been no more than 4 per cent. Cattle in
the blizzard storms driftsd against the
wire fences, and there lay down and died
in large numbers. In many instances
they were found tangled in the wire and
frozen whore caught.
A great many stock men and compani-
es are now negotiating for the purchase of
the ranges occupied by them. 1t is be.

The ordinance introduced at the last
council meeting making the licenses for
circusses $500 day; for each slugging,
sparring or boxing match, 500; each va.
riety theatre, $500, etc., is a step in the
right direction, but 1t does not go far
enough. Circusses ought TO be made to
pay at the very least $500 q day. They
take out of the city thousands of dollars
and spend little OR no money, except for
advertising. They can well afford to
pay $500 q day in such a great show
town as Omaha AS to the license for
~slugging matches, VIC hope the ordinance
will be amended SO as to make the license
$1,000. and for variety dives 81, 600 would
be about the right figure. In other
words the slugging and variety business
ought to DO prohibited.
